Chapter 19, I Lust for Your Body [New Book, Please Read!]
Su Ye paused, then said something that left Little Fairy Doctor completely bewildered: "This 'Seven-Colored Poison Scripture,' perhaps you need it even more..."
He knew that the book contained information about the Evil Poison Body.
Let Little Fairy Doctor see for herself; that's more convincing than him saying it now.
As he spoke, he tossed a low-level storage ring he had obtained from Mu She to Little Fairy Doctor.
He then collected the remaining map into the Sea of Bitterness.
Little Fairy Doctor held the storage ring in her hand, staring blankly at him.
Storage ring...
In Qingshan Town, only mercenary group leaders can afford to use it.
This person always speaks in this indifferent tone, but what they do makes her nose tingle.
I owe him more and more favors...
When will I be able to pay it all off?
But what she didn't know was that the value of the fragmented map in Su Ye's hand far exceeded the combined value of the contents of the three stone boxes.
After Little Fairy Doctor's self-pity, she stopped being polite and started tidying up.
Inside the cave, Little Fairy Doctor leaned against the stone wall, flipping through the "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture".
At first, her expression was relatively calm, sometimes nodding and sometimes frowning.
She understood much of the toxicology knowledge recorded in the book, but she had never come into contact with the more profound parts.
Then she turned to a page in the middle.
Little Fairy Doctor's finger stopped.
Calamity Poison Body: A congenital extraordinary body, immune to all poisons, feeds on poison, and can convert poison power into cultivation.
Seven-colored hidden lines grow from the abdomen; when these lines reach the heart, countless poisons devour the body, annihilating all living beings within a thousand miles.
Those with this constitution can cultivate extremely quickly, but their lifespan is also extremely short.
If a solution cannot be found, one will ultimately die from one's own poison.
The pages in Little Fairy Doctor's hand stopped.
After a long while, she reached up and lifted the hem of her clothes, looking down at her lower abdomen.
The seven-colored line that had been there since she could remember now lay quietly on her skin, refracting a fine array of seven colors under the light.
Little Fairy Doctor always thought it was some kind of rare birthmark.
No.
It's an innate curse.
It is a death line that will eventually devour her and everyone around her.
Fear was like ice water poured over my head.
A hand gently pressed on the page of "The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture".
Little Fairy Doctor suddenly looked up and met Su Ye's calm eyes.
Su Ye had already walked up to her without her noticing.
"I know your constitution."
"And I have a way to give you complete control over it."
Little Fairy Doctor's pupils contracted slightly, and she seemed frozen in place.
"What...what did you say?"
"I said, the 'Calamity Poison Body' is not a terminal illness."
"I have a way to not only keep you alive, but also turn it into an asset."
Little Fairy Doctor couldn't believe her ears.
The ancient book says that there is "no cure", but Su Ye says it casually, as if he is talking about something very ordinary.
She instinctively wanted to question it.
How could you possibly know more about the Calamity Poison Body than ancient books?
This is clearly the first time you've ever seen this kind of constitution...
But then she thought of all the things about Su Ye that she couldn't understand.
Little Fairy Doctor took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly, and asked, "Why...why are you telling me all this?"
Su Ye did not answer immediately.
He mentally reviewed the two options.
By burning away one's luck and using the Lesser Destiny Technique to forcibly rewrite the root of the Calamity Poison Body, the side effect of the poison body's outbreak is fundamentally eliminated.
This method is the most direct and thorough, but it comes at the cost of consuming a large amount of luck.
Luck is extremely precious to him, and the growth of the World Tree is also extremely important.
In addition, a massive amount of luck will be needed to break through bottlenecks in the future, and even to fight against sudden crises.
Is Little Fairy Doctor worth such a high price right now?
The answer is obvious; at least for now, she hasn't reached that point yet.
Another solution is to find a secret cultivation method with Yin attributes and have Little Fairy Doctor switch to it.
The Shrouding the Heavens system is completely different from the Battle Qi system. The Secret Realm cultivation focuses on one's own body, and physical problems can be solved by reshaping the Sea of Wheels.
This method is safe and has no side effects. The only problem is that he doesn't have any Yin-attribute cultivation techniques on hand.
We need to go back to the Big Dipper in the Sky-Covering Realm!
Ideally, one should be able to find fragments related to the Taiyin Zhenjing or the Xihuangjing...
If all else fails, it's not impossible to derive a Yin-attribute version from Su Ye's own "Nine Yang Scripture," but it will take time.
This matter can't be rushed, but it's not going to be indefinitely delayed either.
The World Tree has already locked onto the coordinates of the Shrouding the Heavens world, and traveling back and forth is just a matter of a thought.
Su Ye decided not to reveal the specific plan yet, but only to give Little Fairy Doctor a definite promise.
After all, it's too early to say anything now; it's not too late to talk about it once he gets the right cultivation method.
Su Ye snapped out of his thoughts and explained to Little Fairy Doctor:
"The Calamity Poison Body is an extremely special innate constitution. Those who possess it do not need to cultivate battle qi in the conventional way. They can convert poison power into cultivation simply by consuming poison."
"The stronger the poison, the more poisonous fighting energy it produces, and the faster one's strength increases."
"That's why you can still have the cultivation level of a two-star Dou Zhe even though you don't cultivate much."
Little Fairy Doctor nodded; this was exactly the description in the "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture".
After Su Ye finished speaking about the characteristics of the Calamity Poison Body, the cave fell into a brief silence.
Little Fairy Doctor still had the "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture" open beside her, her fingertips still resting on that page.
About half an incense stick's time had passed.
Little Fairy Doctor closed the "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture".
She looked up, her usually bright eyes now misty with tears.
There was silence for a few more moments.
Little Fairy Doctor finally spoke, her voice much lower than usual, carrying a hoarseness that she had suppressed for a long time and could no longer suppress:
"Su Ye..."
Why... are you so good to me?
Before he could answer, Little Fairy Doctor's words flowed out like a floodgate opening:
"You could have ignored me in the Monster Mountain Range."
"A fourth-tier peak magical beast, no one would risk saving me for someone they've only known for less than an hour."
"And that Wolf Head Mercenary Group..."
"You led me to break into this cave, and out of the three stone boxes were two scrolls of Xuan-rank combat techniques, but you only took a broken, incomplete map..."
"And you already knew I had the Calamity Poison Body..."
"This constitution is clearly stated in ancient books—sooner or later the poison will take effect, there is no cure, and it will also harm those around you."
"Anyone else would be running away in a panic..."
Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back from falling.
"I'm just a small-time doctor in Qingshan Town."
"A two-star Dou Zhe, with no background and no status."
"You probably can't find another genius like you in the entire Gama Empire."
"I can't understand it, I really can't understand it..."
Why are you so good to me?
When she asked the last question, her voice was so soft it sounded like she was talking to herself.
Those eyes didn't hold a question; they held something deeper...
She felt inferior, uneasy, and had a fear that she couldn't quite explain.
I fear that all of this is just a dream, that the young man before me has ulterior motives.
What I fear even more is that my life, cursed by misfortune, is not worthy of being treated kindly.
Su Ye looked at her and sighed softly in his heart.
He stood up and walked over to her.
"Because you are the first friend I made in this world."
Are you suggesting he say, "Actually, I'm lusting after your luck"?
Little Fairy Doctor was completely stunned.
The tears that had been welling up in those big, bright eyes burst forth uncontrollably at that moment.
She instinctively opened her mouth and asked, "R-really?"
