Chapter 172: Yao Lao's Revival and Little Doctor Immortal Condenses the Poison Pill

"Boom!"

Just as Xiao Tian returned to the Xingyun space, he felt the terrifying aura emanating from Yao Lao. This aura was so strong that even Xiao Tian was shocked, and it caused the energy of heaven and earth to tremble violently.

"Old man, you finally broke through to Half-Saint!" Sensing the aura from Yao Lao, Feng Zun couldn't help but rejoice.

The Half-Saint level is a crucial foundation before stepping into the Dou Saint level. Without achieving Half-Saint, one could never become a true Dou Saint powerhouse.

In the original story, Xiao Yan managed to become a Saint in one step because of the Bodhi Heart. However, for ordinary people, achieving Dou Saint requires passing through the essential step of Half-Saint.

A short while later, Yao Lao retracted his aura and descended from the air. Xiao Tian approached with a smile and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Master."

Feng Zun laughed and asked, "Old man, what is your cultivation level now?"

Yao Lao replied, "Barely at the intermediate Half-Saint level. Once I fully absorb the bone marrow from the Dou Saint skeleton, I should be able to reach the peak of the advanced Half-Saint level."

"Haha, now our Xingyun Pavilion will surpass the other three pavilions," Feng Zun laughed heartily.

"Speaking of which, I must thank Xiao Tian for my breakthrough this time. Without the Dou Saint skeleton, it would have been good enough to regain my peak strength. Moreover, this Dou Saint skeleton contained a Heaven-grade Dou Technique, which will surely enhance my combat power," Yao Lao said with deep gratitude.

Xiao Tian cautioned, "Master, Elder Feng, even though we have a Half-Saint now, we should still keep a low profile. After all, the Soul Hall has true Dou Saints."

"Rest assured, I will only inform some old friends," Feng Zun nodded.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Tian used the dimensional gate to head to the Black-Corner Region. He planned to find the Bodhi Transforming Body Saliva.

Upon arriving in the Black-Corner Region, Xiao Tian spread out his soul force completely, searching inch by inch. Soon, he discovered the Nether Lotus Demon Flame remnant map in Black Seal City and the Bodhi Transforming Body Saliva in the Black Emperor Sect.

Given his current strength, obtaining these items was a breeze. Xiao Tian didn't see anything wrong with taking these items by force since this was a world where strength ruled. Plus, he left a pill as compensation for each.

After acquiring the Bodhi Transforming Body Saliva, Xiao Tian summoned Little Doctor Immortal.

Looking at her, Xiao Tian said with a smile, "Xian'er, I have everything we need. We can condense your Poison Pill now."

"Thank you," Little Doctor Immortal said gratefully. Once she condensed the Poison Pill, she wouldn't have to worry about the outbreak of her Woeful Poison Body anymore.

They found a mountain range and opened a cave within it.

"Whoosh!"

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Tian produced a crystal core brimming with violent energy. It was the magic core of the Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast.

Taking out the magic core, Xiao Tian then brought out a jade box. Inside the jade box, a fist-sized, slightly greenish viscous substance was wriggling like a soft-bodied creature. As it wriggled, layers of liquid would flow, making it look alive.

It floated in the air above the jade box, emitting a strange glow, appearing quite magical.

"Is this the Bodhi Transforming Body Saliva?" Little Doctor Immortal's beautiful eyes fixed on the viscous liquid, a look of excitement flashing in her eyes.

Xiao Tian's hand curved slightly, creating a suction force that drew the Bodhi Transforming Body Saliva into his palm.

"Fwoom!"

A surge of different flames enveloped the saliva, causing it to churn violently. After a few minutes, the movement ceased, and some green powder fell from the saliva, finally forming a rough, thumb-sized green bead.

Though not smooth, Xiao Tian sensed a vibrant life force within it.

Seeing the Bodhi Seed, Xiao Tian's eyes lit up with joy. The Bodhi Seed could be used to refine an eight-colored lightning pill of high-grade—Bodhi Pill—and a nine-grade treasure pill—Bodhi Great Returning Pill.

The Bodhi Pill could help a peak Nine-Turn Dou Zun increase their chances of becoming a Dou Saint by twenty percent, while the Bodhi Great Returning Pill could increase the success rate by fifty percent. With the Bodhi Seed, Xiao Tian could use the pill to break through to Half-Saint when he reached peak Nine-Turn Dou Zun.

Although this effect was far inferior to the Bodhi Heart, it didn't require waiting for the Bodhi Ancient Tree to appear, which would take many years.

However, these matters were still some time away. Xiao Tian's immediate priority was helping Little Doctor Immortal condense her Poison Pill.

Shaking his head, Xiao Tian looked at Little Doctor Immortal and said, "Now, I will use three different flames to gather all the poison in your body into your dantian. This process will be very painful, but you must endure it."

"Alright, go ahead," Little Doctor Immortal nodded heavily.

Xiao Tian said, "First, I need to unseal your Woeful Poison Body completely."

"I trust you," Little Doctor Immortal held Xiao Tian's hand, a charming smile appearing on her delicate face as she removed her clothes with the other.

In an instant, her perfect, jade-like body appeared in the air. Xiao Tian took a deep breath, brought his fingers together, and a flame appeared at his fingertips.

With a single point, Xiao Tian's flame destroyed the seal.

"Buzz!"

As soon as the seal vanished, a large amount of dark gray poison fog emerged, and Little Doctor Immortal's gray-purple eyes turned pure gray.

"Hold on!" Xiao Tian shouted, waving his hand as a flame expanded to engulf Little Doctor Immortal.

"Sizzle!"

Surrounded by the flame, the gray poison gas from Little Doctor Immortal's body retracted like encountering its nemesis.

"Condense!" Xiao Tian shouted, driving the flames into her body to chase the poison gas into her dantian.

"Next, we need to use the magic core to stabilize it and the Bodhi Saliva to purify it."

Grabbing the Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's magic core, Xiao Tian fused it into Little Doctor Immortal's dantian. Then, he placed the Bodhi Transforming Body Saliva on her lower abdomen.

Instantly, a rich vitality spread from her abdomen, enveloping her entire body and regenerating her poison-damaged flesh.

"Now, I will use the Bodhi Saliva to purify the poison gas. Begin circulating your Dou Qi to condense the Poison Pill!"

Following Xiao Tian's instructions, the Bodhi Saliva entered the poison vortex, causing a violent reaction. The gray poison gas churned, its deathly aura being neutralized by the Bodhi Saliva's vitality.

At this moment, Little Doctor Immortal began compressing the poison gas according to the Poison Pill method. Eventually, the poison gas was drawn into the magic core, forming a gray crystal.

"Buzz!"

The gray crystal hummed, spinning rapidly as it absorbed more poison gas and gradually smoothed out, shrinking in size.

"It seems it will take a few days to form the Poison Pill," Xiao Tian said, stepping out of the cave and summoning his medicine cauldron. He then waved his hand, and numerous medicinal ingredients appeared around him.

"Now, I'll refine the Geocentric Pearl into an eighth-grade pill," Xiao Tian thought, taking out the Geocentric Pearl from the Yang Fire Altar and beginning the refining process.
