"Do I look ugly right now? Did it scare you?" Mu Jin asked softly.
"No, in my eyes, Jinniang will always be the most beautiful, no matter what she looks like." Huo Yao raised his hand and wrapped it around her from a distance, as if he were holding her in his arms.
"Yaolang, I can't walk with you anymore. Even without me by your side, you must take good care of yourself."
Mu Jin's breath grew weaker and weaker. "Yao Lang, play one last song for me. I want to hear it."
"Okay." Huo Yao picked up the wooden flute that Mu Jin had given him and began to play it, his voice slightly choked with emotion.
"It was so beautiful. It's a pity I'll never hear it again. Goodbye, Yaolang, and thank you."
Mu Jin murmured something, and her figure completely dissipated in Huo Yao's arms.
Thank you for being with me for so long, and thank you for freeing me from this ordeal.
The moment the hibiscus disappeared, a tear slid down Huo Yao's cheek. He continued playing the flute, his eyes gazing blankly at the pipa in his arms.
From then on, he played the flute alone, with no one to harmonize with him or listen...
Ruan Xiyan and Luo Wanyin did not speak or disturb them, but simply watched silently from the side.
Not only did he personally end the life of the person he deeply loved, but he also had to watch her die twice. The one left behind, Huo Lao, was the one who suffered the most.
After a long time, Huo Yao stood up from the ground, concealed the pain in his eyes, and carefully put away the pipa and wooden flute.
"I've kept you two little girls waiting." Huo Yao walked up to Ruan Xiyan and the others.
"Elder Huo, are you alright?" Luo Wanyin asked.
Huo Yao waved his hand, "What could possibly be wrong that you'd find so amusing? Although Mu Jin is gone, I promised her that I would live well. I will see the scenery she never got to see."
"Elder Huo, you said that it's not that the Ten Thousand Poisons Body cannot become the Ten Thousand Poisons Saint Body, but that it's too difficult and no one can do it. I hope Elder Huo can explain this to me."
"Ever since the incident with Mu Jin, while I was searching for a way to resolve the death aura, I also never gave up trying to find out how to transform the Ten Thousand Poisons Body into the Ten Thousand Poisons Saint Body. Perhaps it's because I'm still unwilling to accept it."
"Heaven helps those who help themselves. I finally found some information. It is said that there is a kind of silkworm in the world called the Poisonous Heart Silkworm."
"The poisonous silkworm swallows venomous silk threads that counteract the toxins of the Myriad Poisons Body, using the venomous silk threads to fight against the toxins."
"A person with a body of ten thousand poisons will form a contract with the Poison Heart Silkworm. The Poison Heart Silkworm will spin silk into a cocoon inside her body, eventually condensing into a poison pill."
"By mobilizing the poison pills to control the toxins in the body, one can transform into a true holy body of ten thousand poisons, but this is just a legend, no one has ever tried it, and we don't know if it works."
"After all, a person with the body of ten thousand poisons might only appear once every thousand years, and coupled with their naturally short lifespan, they would never have the opportunity to search for the Poison Heart Silkworm for experimentation."
Huo Yao told everyone he knew without holding anything back.
The body with the ability to kill all poisons is already rare, and it's unexpected that he encountered two of them. This is probably a rare kind of fate.
Although his beloved Jinniang was gone, he could not escape the fate that was predetermined at birth.
But the little girl with the body of ten thousand poisons is still here, and he also wants to see if the body of ten thousand poisons is truly irreversible.
If her fate were changed, Jinniang would be happy to know.
"Elder Huo, where can we find any trace of the Poison Heart Silkworm?" Ruan Xiyan asked.
"The Poison Heart Silkworm is covered in poison, but it feeds on various spiritual herbs. They are rare and it is probably difficult to find them on the continent."
"The only possible chance is to find it in that secret realm in Danjing. Danjing is a famous holy land for alchemists, where all kinds of rare and precious materials and spiritual herbs gather."
"That's the most likely place to find the Poison Heart Silkworm, but the Pill Realm is controlled by the Alchemist Guild, which is a top-tier power on the continent. There are many restrictions on entering the Pill Realm; first of all, you must be an alchemist."
"The Pill Realm?" Ruan Xiyan murmured.
If Elder Huo hadn't mentioned it, she would have completely forgotten about the Dan Realm.
Calculating the time, there are still more than two months until the alchemy grand event held by the Alchemists' Association that Elder Yan had mentioned to her before.
The only way to enter the Dan realm is to win the competition at the Alchemy Grand Gathering and obtain a spot to enter the Dan realm.
"Elder Huo, I have a way to advance to the Dan realm."
Huo Yao looked at Ruan Xiyan in surprise, "Could it be that you are a pharmacist, little girl?"
"Yes, but it will take some time to open the Dan Realm. It can't be done in a short while. However, Wanwan's body can't hold on for that long. She won't be able to hold on until I find the Poison Heart Silkworm."
"I can suppress the rate at which the toxins in her body erupt," Huo Yao said. "Because of Mu Jin, I have studied the Body of Ten Thousand Poisons quite a bit."
"With my strength and the secret techniques I've developed, I can delay this little girl's 'Ten Thousand Poisons Body' for another three months."
"This will trouble the old man with his work."
"Thank you, Elder Huo."
Ruan Xiyan and Luo Wanyin replied.
Huo Yao began to suppress Luo Wanyin's Ten Thousand Poisons Body. After an hour, Huo Yao stopped, saying, "That's enough."
Seeing Luo Wanyin's softened expression and the stopped spreading poisonous markings, Ruan Xiyan smiled and said, "Wait for me at the Illusionary Hidden Sect. I will bring back the Poison Heart Silkworm."
The Alchemy Gathering is for alchemists, and only alchemists can enter the Dan Realm. Even if Wanwan goes with them, she can't get in. It's safer for her to stay in the Illusionary Hidden Sect.
"Xi Yan, I trust you, I'll do whatever you say," Luo Wanyin replied.
"Elder Huo, what are your plans for the future?" Ruan Xiyan asked.
"Little girl, what is the Illusionary Hidden Sect that you just mentioned...?" Huo Yao asked curiously.
"The Illusionary Concealment Sect is a force we established."
"Not bad, you have ambition. You've built up a sect's influence at such a young age," Huo Yao praised. "Is my disciple also in the Illusionary Hidden Sect?"
"He is an elder of the Illusionary Concealment Sect."
"That brat even became a sect elder, he's not bad at all." Huo Yao looked at Ruan Xiyan, "Little girl, does your sect welcome this old man?"
"Is Elder Huo going to the Illusionary Concealment Sect?"
"Yes, Mu Jin is dead. I am all alone in this world. The only thing I care about is my disciple whom I haven't seen for several years. Now that I know he is in the Illusionary Hidden Sect, I naturally have to go and see him."
"We are of course extremely happy to welcome Elder Huo to the Illusionary Concealment Sect," Ruan Xiyan said with a smile.
The alchemy competition was about to begin, and she needed to rush to the Eastern District Alchemist Association to see Elder Yan.
She was initially worried that Wanwan's physical condition might lead to unforeseen circumstances on her journey back to the Illusionary Hidden Sect alone, but now that Elder Huo was accompanying her, she felt relieved.
