Chapter 29: Fire Poison!

This is a vast underground world of magma.

The fiery red magma rolls incessantly, occasionally forming bubbles that burst with a 'pop' sound.

Heat is the eternal theme here.

This was the first impression of Wei Yang and Lei Xian'er when they arrived.

The abundant fire element energy completely dominated this place, repelling all other attributes and leaving behind a rich, almost tangible fire energy filling every corner.

Wei Yang, embracing Lei Xian'er, had his black wings spread behind him, gently flapping as he hovered above the magma world.

Looking at the continuously rolling magma below, he grinned, "It should be here. After searching for so long, we finally found it."

A crimson Dou Qi shield appeared on the surface of his body, isolating the terrifying high temperature of this place.

Even though he was at Dou Ling cultivation level and of fire attribute himself, he still didn't dare to be careless in the face of such awe-inspiring natural might.

He lowered his head to look at the person in his arms.

Xian'er's small face was full of seriousness. Even though she was under Wei Yang's Dou Qi protection, her Dou Qi was circulating on its own, forming another layer of defense to resist the harsh environment here.

Noticing this, Wei Yang felt much relieved and looked around.

Then, with a flap of his black wings, he flew like a black and red lightning through the void and found a protrusion on a rock wall not far away to land on.

After setting Xian'er down, letting her leave his Dou Qi protection range, he asked, "Xian'er, how do you feel?"

"Hmm..."

Xian'er tilted her head slightly, closed her eyes to feel it carefully, then opened her beautiful eyes in surprise, saying, "Although this place makes me feel a bit uncomfortable, there is energy here suitable for me to absorb."

"And this energy is very pure, with high quality, and seems to be very beneficial to me. Although it carries heat, not only can I absorb it, the conversion efficiency also seems quite high."

"This energy is toxic!"

"Oh?" Wei Yang was a bit surprised upon hearing this.

How could it be?

He quickly reacted and looked down at the magma lake.

In the lake, the fiery red magma was rolling, occasionally creating bubbles that 'pop' and burst, releasing a grey-white poisonous smoke that made one shiver just by looking at it.

"Fire poison!"

Wei Yang and Xian'er exchanged a glance and almost spoke simultaneously.

"So that's it, I should have thought of it earlier..." Wei Yang smacked his forehead.

In the magma, it wasn't just heat, but also fire poison!

He couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature.

Fire generally restrains poison attributes, especially strange fires which are considered the nemesis of poison attributes.

Yet here, due to the special environment, the terrifying fire poison had been birthed.

Only in such a strange place naturally formed by heaven and earth, a forbidden land, could something like strange fire, a treasure of nature, be nurtured.

"In that case, I'm relieved."

Wei Yang rubbed Xian'er's head and smiled, "If this place is beneficial for you, then we can stay here for a while."

"This fire poison is not only highly nutritious for you but also has another great benefit."

"Another great benefit?" Xian'er was puzzled.

"Poison Dou Qi is restrained by fire attributes, especially strange fire. But if you can transform your poison Dou Qi into a special fire poison Dou Qi through long-term absorption of these fire poisons, won't the issue be resolved?" Wei Yang explained with a smile.

"You have just activated your poison body and are still at a low level. Your poison Dou Qi should be converted smoothly soon. Perhaps, over time, you might even gain both fire and poison attributes!"

"This way, when you're in a desert or a magma region like this, you'll be much more at ease and not oppressed by the environment."

An unconstrained poison master, unafraid of fire attributes or strange fire, especially with the Disaster Poison Body, how terrifying could that be?

Truly without weaknesses!

Perhaps only a body like the Disaster Poison Body, which is like a bug, can be unafraid of fire poison and instead see it as a great tonic.

In the original work, the Burning Flame Valley in Central Plains, a sect dedicated to fire, was plagued by fire poison for a long time.

Even their Dou Sheng ancestor was troubled by fire poison, isolated in long-term seclusion.

In this sense, fire poison could be considered one of the most terrifying poisons in the world!

It could affect even a Dou Sheng, and even the twelfth-ranked strange fire, Nine Dragons Lightning Gang Fire, couldn't solve it.

There's another benefit to absorbing fire poison that Wei Yang didn't mention now.

That is, Xian'er might find it easier to absorb the Netherworld Poison Fire in the future if she acquires the fire poison attribute.

Xian'er listened to Wei Yang's analysis, her eyes shining as she nodded excitedly.

She had deeply experienced the suppression of her poison Dou Qi in the desert environment over the past month.

If this weakness could really be resolved, future encounters with fire attribute cultivators would be much easier, and she wouldn't fear being restrained anymore.

"But you must remember, although fire poison is highly nutritious, you need to absorb it gradually and mustn't absorb too much at once!"

Wei Yang sternly instructed, "Each absorption should be within your control range. It's better to slow down your cultivation progress than to be greedy."

Wei Yang thought of another deadly aspect of fire poison: people's minds could be gradually eroded by over-absorbing fire poison.

Like the students of the Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy, many were affected by fire poison, which made their personalities irritable and prone to anger, due to training in the Sky Burning Gas Refining Tower with the Fallen Heart Flame.

The Disaster Poison Body may not be easily affected.

But remember, this physique naturally poses a risk of losing control later on. If not cautious now, overly absorbing fire poison might hasten the loss of control.

Thus, Wei Yang detailed these hidden dangers to Xian'er and sternly instructed her to slow down her cultivation if needed but never to over-absorb fire poison.

"You wouldn't want to forget me or even want to kill me because of fire poison eroding your mind, would you?" Wei Yang said this deliberately.

His intention was to make her aware of the severity, fearing she might get blinded by the lure of power and recklessly absorb fire poison.

Xian'er quickly nodded, obediently promising, "Brother Yang, don't worry, Xian'er remembers. I will definitely not be greedy."

"Alright." Wei Yang nodded, "I have only one request for you, ensure each bit of fire poison you absorb can be fully controlled and not erode your mind, affecting your sanity."

"Also, every bit of progress must allow you to safely control each ounce of your power, at least to the degree you currently can."

"Got it," Xian'er nodded, pouting slightly, "Brother Yang, you're so long-winded today."

"Aren't I doing this all for you?" Wei Yang said helplessly.

"I've been cultivating since I was six, over eleven years to reach Dou Ling. Every bit, even strand, of my power has been accumulated through hard work."

"And you? How long have you cultivated?"

"A little over two years to reach Da Dou Shi! Too fast!"

"So you haven't had enough time to settle, to become familiar, yet gained this power. And it's not gradually accumulated by you, but suddenly surged!"

"Know why the Disaster Poison Body loses control? It's largely because of this!"

"Now there's the fire poison risk! How can I not be worried?"

"Brother Yang, don't be mad." Xian'er, seeing Wei Yang's serious demeanor, shook his arm while sincerely promising, "Xian'er promises to listen to you and not absorb even a bit more than necessary."
