"Hahaha, Little Yanzi, don't worry."

"When I roamed the Dou Qi Continent, the dangers I encountered were far more numerous than what I see now. I am merely a Dou Sheng at this stage. There is nothing to worry about."

The old man's gaze fell on the pure white, jade-like remains of a Dou Sheng in his hand, his tone revealing strong confidence.

"If he were still alive, I would naturally be very wary of a Dou Sheng expert, but now this skeleton is just an inanimate object. With my soul power, it won't have any effect on me."

Hearing Yao Lao's confident words, everyone realized that the person in front of them was the number one alchemist in the Dou Qi Continent. His soul power could not possibly cause any damage to the remains of a Dou Sheng who had fallen countless years ago.

Thinking of this, everyone's expressions relaxed a bit.

"Then I wish Senior Medicine Venerable a speedy recovery and a breakthrough to the Dou Sheng realm."

At this moment, Xun'er, who was following behind Xiao Yan, slowly spoke, her gaze falling on Yao Lao.

Upon hearing Xun'er's words, the old apothecary's gaze also fell upon her, a strange look flashing in his eyes as he slowly spoke.

"it is good."

Yao Lao was naturally aware of Xun'er and the power behind her, and he also understood that his disciple had probably already come into the sights of the ancient clans.

However, if the two want to be together, those old guys in the ancient clans won't be so easy to deal with.

Thinking of this, Yao Lao's gaze also fell on Xiao Yan; it seemed he had gained another reason to break through to the Dou Sheng realm.

He smiled slightly, knowing that once he reached the Dou Sheng realm, even the ancient clans wouldn't be able to ignore him...

Furthermore, according to Xiao Yan, the Soul Palace has already sent a powerful figure like Blood River Heavenly Venerable to the Dou Sheng Ruins this time.

Although Xun'er helped them escape this ordeal temporarily, they won't be so lucky next time.

Breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm is imminent!

Thinking of this, the old doctor said no more. After nodding to everyone, he disappeared from the main hall in a flash.

"Teacher, you must succeed..."

As Xiao Yan watched Yao Lao disappear, his gaze fell upon the secluded cultivation spot deep within the Starfall Pavilion, and a trace of worry reappeared on his face.

After bidding farewell to Venerable Chaofeng and the others, Xiao Yan returned to his courtyard with Xun'er and Qinglin.

"It's alright, Brother Xiao Yan, you go ahead with your work..."

Upon entering the courtyard, Xun'er, seeing Xiao Yan's gaze, knew that he was going to resolve the toxins in Qing Lin's body. She spoke softly and then sat down to the side, saying nothing more.

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Xun'er's words, then looked at Qing Lin, who was shrouded in black robes, and said:

"Qinglin, there are no outsiders here. Let me check the toxins in your body first."

"Yes, Young Master Xiao Yan!"

Qing Lin nodded and spoke. Even though he was now a Dou Zun powerhouse, the warmth Xiao Yan had given him back in the Northwest Continent still held a very important place in his heart.

Even though Xiao Yan had said there was no need to be so polite, she still maintained the habit of addressing him as "Young Master Xiao Yan".

After correcting Qing Lin, but the other party did not change at all, Xiao Yan did not continue to insist.

After all, everyone has their own way of living, and the warmth that Xiao Yan left for Qing Lin has become an indelible and heartwarming memory in her heart.

So even after all these years, Qing Lin, at the Dou Zun realm, still considers Xiao Yan her closest person.

But no one could have imagined that Xiao Yan's momentary kindness would actually make a Dou Zun powerhouse devoted to him.

After all, no one expected that a half-human, half-snake girl from the Northwest Continent would become a Dou Zun powerhouse who struck fear into the hearts of everyone and even turned the entire Nine Netherworld Python Clan upside down.

After Qinglin agreed, she took off her black robe and sat cross-legged.

Xiao Yan's gaze fell on Qing Lin. He slowly stepped forward and touched Qing Lin's forehead with his finger, probing the Dou Qi within Qing Lin's body.

"boom!"

As Xiao Yan's Dou Qi entered Qing Lin's body, it could clearly feel a faint trace of poisonous gas filling Qing Lin's meridians.

These toxins are constantly eroding Qinglin's body.

Sensing the toxins in Qing Lin's body, Xiao Yan's expression turned unusually gloomy.

He carefully controlled his battle qi, allowing it to slowly circulate within Qing Lin's body.

Xiao Yan could also sense that the toxins in Qing Lin's body had been suppressed by her, and most of the toxins had been concentrated in one place.

Chapter 278 The Emperor Python's Heart-Corroding Poison

"The Emperor Python's Heart-Eating Poison is truly worthy of being the toxin of the royal family of the Nine Netherworld Python clan; it's really troublesome."

Xiao Yan felt the poison from the Nine Netherworld Python King Clan expert within Qing Lin's body, and his expression turned somewhat gloomy.

Slowly withdrawing his Dou Qi from Qing Lin's body, Xiao Yan looked at Qing Lin with some hesitation.

After all, the Emperor Python Heart-Eating Poison is a notorious poison in the Central Plains. It is said that there is no cure, and even a Dou Zun expert is powerless to save him.

Xiao Yan initially thought it was just empty talk, but after carefully examining the toxins in Qing Lin's body, his expression turned unusually serious.

"Young Master Xiao Yan, is there no other way?"

When Qing Lin opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Yan's grave expression and realized that the poison in her body was something that ordinary experts simply couldn't cure.

Fortunately, at least I can see Young Master Xiao Yan again, which puts an end to my worries.

"This Emperor Python's Heart-Eating Poison is indeed quite troublesome. You'll need to stay in the Starfall Pavilion for the next few days while I think of a solution..."

Xiao Yan's gaze fell on Qing Lin, and Qing Lin nodded upon hearing this.

If her fate is destined to perish under this poison, then staying by Young Master Xiao Yan's side seems like a good choice.

Thinking of this, Qinglin's face revealed a smile that she couldn't hide. However, when her gaze fell on Xun'er beside her, a trace of inferiority flashed in her eyes again.

The arm beneath the black robe slowly caressed the snake scales hidden within the clothing...

..................

In the following days, Xiao Yan, in order to resolve the Emperor Python Heart-Eating Poison in Qing Lin's body, disregarded everything else and buried himself in the vast collection of books left to him by Yao Lao.

Fortunately, after searching for several days, Xiao Yan finally found a way to cure the poison.

Inside a secluded cave behind the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yan stood beside a pool made of piled rocks.

Xiao Yan stood by the pool, constantly taking out precious medicinal herbs from his storage ring, grinding them into powder or liquid, and then throwing them all into the pool.

The once calm pool water gradually boiled, and the crystal-clear liquid gradually turned into a light red color.

Looking at the color of the pool water, Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately, Xiao Yan's gaze fell upon a small, snow-white beast perched on his shoulder.

This snow-white little beast is the same pill beast that Xiao Yan and his companions obtained in the Dou Sheng Ruins.

"Hmm..."

Looking into Xiao Yan's eyes, the snow-white little beast let out a pitiful whimper, but in the end it did not run away. It just closed its eyes and lay motionless on Xiao Yan's shoulder.

"Please, I'll make it up to you later."

Xiao Yan patted the head of the snow-white creature when it was young and took out several high-grade pills from his storage ring to feed it.

He then took out a small knife and slid it across the hind leg of the snow-white beast. Several drops of silvery-white, crystalline energy flowed out from it. Xiao Yan quickly picked up the jade bottle and collected the energy into it.

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief after successfully obtaining the blood of the snow-white beast. Among the antidote methods he had thought of, obtaining the blood of the snow-white beast was the most difficult step.

Now that he has the blood in hand, Xiao Yan's chances of winning have increased even more.

"Pfft!"

Xiao Yan dripped the silver energy liquid from the jade bottle into the pool, and the pool's energy instantly increased as the silver energy dripped in.

After doing all this, Xiao Yan turned his gaze to Qing Lin and Xun'er beside the cave.

"Alright, Qinglin, now take off your clothes and enter this pool."

Xiao Yan looked at the two women standing to the side, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face, but he still spoke to Qing Lin.

After speaking, Xiao Yan turned around, walked to the cave with his back to the two people, and continued to speak.

"Xun'er, don't forget to add the things I just gave you, based on the changes in the pool water."

"Brother Xiao Yan, don't worry!"

Xun'er nodded gently, then walked to the pool and looked at Qinglin, who had taken off her clothes and buried herself in the water, with a gentle smile on her face.

Qing Lin was already quite shy, especially with Xiao Yan in the cave. She huddled in the pool with her head buried in it.

"Alright, now you just need to circulate your cultivation technique and enter a meditative state to absorb all the medicinal power in this pool!"

Xun'er looked at Qinglin, who was huddled in the water, and smiled gently as she spoke.

"Um......"

Upon hearing Xun'er's words, Qinglin nodded slightly, then closed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and slowly circulated the internal energy within his body.

As Qinglin successfully entered a meditative state, Xun'er carefully focused her gaze on the pool, observing the changes in the water and occasionally adding some of the medicinal powder that Xiao Yan had given her.

After adding all the medicinal powder, Xun'er was about to look up when she saw a mysterious tattoo faintly emerging on Qinglin's back.

"Um!?"

Xun'er's gaze fell on the tattoo, which resembled a coiled giant python, but with nine snake heads on its upper half...

"It's actually..."
