Double Cultivation
toxic body
After checking Xie Xingfang's condition for a few minutes, Su Yang finally realized what was bothering him.
"You ... are you following the cultivation technique properly?" Su Yang asked her with a frown on his face, causing an unpleasant feeling to appear in the room.
"I-Yes .." Xie Xingfang nodded stiffly. "Is there something wrong with my Heavenly Constitution?"
Xie Xingfang couldn't help but feel worried after seeing her frown. However, Xie Xingfang was confident that he had successfully cultivated his Hundred Poison-class Imperial Body into an Empire-class Thousand Poison Body.
"To cultivate the Hundred Poisons Body into the Thousand Poisons Body, you must bathe 1,000 types of poisons in a certain order. I can see that you have reached the Thousand Poison Body. But ... you really poisoned yourself during the process … "
"What?!" Xie Xingfang expressed surprise after hearing that his body was currently poisoned.
"A-Are you sure about that?" Xie Xingfang asked, feeling doubtful.
Although Xie Xingfang wanted to believe his words, it was extremely difficult to believe that his body was poisoned when he had a body that was immune to poison. Not to mention that he did not feel any pain or anything that indicated his body was poisoned.
"This type of poison is a special kind that is unlike any other poison. In fact, some people did not recognize it as a type of poison but something completely different. This is unlikely to happen if you really follow the cultivation technique"
"Try to remember your cultivation. The type and amount of poison you bathe should follow the technique exactly" Su Yang said.
"W-What are you talking about? The Body of a Thousand Poisons?" Senior Zhong interrupted with a puzzled face, but unfortunately, he was completely ignored by them.
Xie Xingfang closed his eyes to ponder.
A while later, Xie Xingfang said, "That's right! Since I had never heard of some poison required, I replaced it with another poison that had identical effects, such as using the Blue Dragon Head Flower Potion rather than the Purple Dragon Head flower. Could that be the cause? "
"…"
When Su Yang heard his words, he closed his face.
"I have ignored the fact that some of the toxins necessary for its cultivation cannot exist in this infant world that is only 2,000 years old, because they require tens of thousands of years to grow …" Su Yang sighed inwardly.
"Sorry, I should have known better," Su Yang shook his head. "It's all because of my negligence. I shouldn't have given you that technique in the first place …"
Su Yang was intending to help her by taking out an Immortal-grade technique of pure generosity, but unfortunately, such an intention had instead caused Xie Xingfang a loss.
"Om-Omong's empty!" Xie Xingfang quickly said. "It's not your fault. I should not act impatiently. If I follow the cultivation technique properly, this will never happen …"
"By the way, what's going to happen to me now? How can I feel so healthy?" Xie Xingfang then asked.
"The poison just popped into your body recently, so you won't have any symptoms for a few more months. However, once the poison starts to work, it will slowly damage your body from within. If you let the poison stay in your body, you'll disappear within five years." Said Su Yang.
"T .. Impossible …"
A deep despair he had never experienced before quickly filled Xie Xingfang's heart, his expression filled with fear.
"What empty tooth did you put out for Young Miss ?! How could he be poisoned when he had the Body of a hundred poison that was immune to all the poison in this world ?! Obviously, you're just trying to scare her!"
Although he did not know the situation, Senior Zhong yelled at Su Yang for causing Xie Xingfang's reaction.
"Senior Zhong, shut up for a moment!" Xie Xingfang looked at him with a serious expression.
He then returned to Su Yang and asked, "Is there a ... Is there any way to cure this poison in my body?"
"Take me a piece of paper and something to write," Su Yang said later.
Xie Xingfang did not dare to waste time and immediately went to pick up some paper and ink.
As soon as he accepted it to write, Su Yang wrote some names on a piece of paper and handed it to Xie Xingfang. "Can you get this?"
Xie Xingfang looked at the paper.
A moment later, he frowned.
"Eight of the nine herbs listed here exist, although they are extremely rare and expensive. However, for this Blood Demon Ginseng .. I have never heard of this type of poisonous herb before," Xie Xingfang said, saying, that could be considered one of the most experienced in the field of poison in the entire continent.
"It was troublesome ..." Su Yang began to ponder again.
Some time later, Su Yang said, "We can talk about the Blood Devil Ginseng after we have the other eight herbs."
Xie Xingfang nodded with a feeling of worry. "I'll talk to my father about this …"
"Can you explain to me the situation?" Senior Zhong finally spoke. "What's going on? Was Young Miss really poisoned? How did this happen?"
Although he understood some things from their conversation, it was not enough for him to fully follow them.
Xie Xingfang turned to look at Su Yang.
"There's no point keeping it a secret now," Su Yang said.
Xie Xingfang nodded and began to explain the situation to Senior Zhong.
"Before Su Yang left the carriage on that day, he parted with me an Immortal-level cultivation technique – that allowed me to develop my Heavenly Constitution to the next level …"
"What?!?!" Senior Zhong shouted loudly, feeling shocked to the core.
An Immortal-grade cultivation technique was something that even his Divine Sword Sect would kill to possess, let alone one that could cultivate one's Heavenly Constitution!
"I cultivated in secret for the past year by gnawing at my body with 1,000 types of poison, and I managed to turn my Hundred Poison Body into an extremely superior Thousand Poison Body cultivating my cultivation recently."
After a slight pause, Xie Xingfang continued, "But darling, despite reaching the Thousand Poison Body, because I was cultivating incorrectly, I am now poisoned, I'll be dead in five years …"
"Mu-Mustahil ..." Senior Zhong kneeled when he heard Xie Xingfang's last words. How did Lord Xie react to this news?
"You motherfucker! Did you intentionally give him an Immortal-grade technique knowing that this would happen ?!" Senior Zhong started to blame Su Yang for this situation, his gaze emanated with killing intent.
When Xie Xingfang noticed Senior Zhong grabbing his sword, he immediately jumped in front of Su Yang and shouted, "What are you doing, Senior Zhong ?! If he really wanted to hurt me, he could have stayed silent about the poison and let me die without ever knowing the truth! "
Senior Zhong immediately froze with a puzzled expression.
If Su Yang really wanted to hurt Xie Xingfang, why would he let him know about the poison in his body, even revealing a way to cure him, which was the opposite of such an intention?
After a moment of inner war, Senior Zhong released his grasp on the sword and said, "We will go to your father now!"
