Chapter 31: Rainbow Poison Scripture! Purple Cloud Wings!
The cave was silent, with a faint chill in the darkness.
The Little Doctor Fairy rubbed her arms, feeling the biting cold.
Watching Xiao Ze's strong figure ahead, the Little Doctor Fairy unconsciously quickened her pace, moving closer to Xiao Ze.
The makeshift torch didn't provide much light, barely illuminating the surroundings.
The Little Doctor Fairy kept her eyes on Xiao Ze, lost in thought.
She wondered what Xiao Ze looked like beneath the mask...
Lost in her thoughts, the Little Doctor Fairy suddenly bumped into Xiao Ze as he stopped abruptly.
Unable to stop in time, the Little Doctor Fairy's body collided with Xiao Ze's!
Their bodies almost melded together.
Feeling the unusual touch, Xiao Ze didn't move.
Feeling flustered, the Little Doctor Fairy quickly stepped back from behind Xiao Ze.
The force of their collision just now felt like it could level mountains!
"Xiao Ze must have sensed it!"
The Little Doctor Fairy felt a bit embarrassed.
But after the intimate embrace they shared earlier when they jumped off the cliff, the Little Doctor Fairy quickly recovered.
"What's wrong, Xiao Ze? Why did you suddenly stop?"
"Cough, we've reached the end of the cave. Anything on your mind? You seemed lost in thought earlier, and I tried to warn you."
Xiao Ze coughed and explained.
Although his voice was a bit low, in the quiet cave, as long as one wasn't too distracted, it could be clearly heard.
"Um... I was just a little distracted earlier."
With a slight blush on her face, the Little Doctor Fairy, seeing that Xiao Ze didn't mention their previous embarrassment, went along with his explanation.
She cast her gaze towards the end of the cave.
There was a stone door emitting a faint yellow light.
"It really seems like a stroke of luck!"
The Little Doctor Fairy hurried to the stone door.
This artificially constructed stone door must have been left behind by some predecessors as part of their cave dwelling.
Xiao Ze followed the Little Doctor Fairy to her side.
He remembered this was a trap door, and the mechanism to open it was hidden nearby.
Expanding his soul perception, he quickly found the switch!
Just as the Little Doctor Fairy was frowning, trying to decipher the stone door...
Xiao Ze kicked a protruding spot with his foot, and the stone door creaked open slowly.
"...Wow! Xiao Ze, you're too amazing! You found a way to decipher the mechanism so quickly!"
Watching the stone door slowly open, the Little Doctor Fairy turned her surprised gaze to Xiao Ze.
Reflected in the firelight, the Little Doctor Fairy's eyes widened with admiration, shining brightly with adoration.
"Haha, it's just a slightly better perception."
"You don't need to be so modest. I feel like you can do anything!"
The Little Doctor Fairy said earnestly, counting on her fingers, listing each event.
"My constitution, the incident in Qing Shan Town, and now this stone door... It seems like you can effortlessly solve any problem!"
"Alright, if you keep praising me like this, I might become conceited. Let's go, the stone door is open now. Let's see what the predecessors left behind."
The two entered the stone chamber, where a large amount of gold and silver was casually piled to the side.
"It seems this predecessor didn't care much for these riches."
The Little Doctor Fairy said thoughtfully.
"Perhaps there are more precious items somewhere else?"
Xiao Ze surveyed the stone chamber.
In the center, there was a table and chair, with a skeleton on the chair and three boxes on the table.
Apart from the gold and silver on the ground, there was also a flower bed, filled with rare medicinal herbs!
"Wow! Purple Blue Leaf, White Spirit Ginseng Fruit, Snow Lotus Seeds... so many high-grade medicinal herbs, and this... Ice Spirit Flame Grass, extremely rare and hard to find in the outside world!"
The Little Doctor Fairy ran over excitedly, chanting the names of each high-grade medicinal herb accurately.
"Just as you said, Xiao Ze, compared to all this gold and silver, these high-grade medicinal herbs are the real treasures!"
"Haha, make sure to gather these herbs quickly. I'll go check out other areas."
"Okay!" The Little Doctor Fairy obediently nodded and took out a jade shovel.
Carefully digging up the herbs from the flower bed, she preserved them meticulously.
On the other side, Xiao Ze retrieved three keys from the skeleton's hand.
He also found the remnants of the map for the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.
But it was too early to consider the Pure Lotus Demon Fire now.
After waiting for a while, the Little Doctor Fairy excitedly walked over, nodding to Xiao Ze.
"Come, let's open these boxes!"
Xiao Ze opened the three boxes on the stone table one by one.
Inside were the Rainbow Poison Scripture, the Profound Grade Advanced Flying Technique - Purple Cloud Wings, and the Profound Grade Advanced Battle Technique - Roaring Lion's Song.
"Little Doctor Fairy, you take the Rainbow Poison Scripture. I already told you before, I don't want to concoct poisons."
"Okay, I don't need the other two techniques either. They don't match my attributes."
The Little Doctor Fairy happily took the Rainbow Poison Scripture and began to examine it.
Xiao Ze browsed through the Purple Cloud Wings and Roaring Lion's Song. Since there was no danger at the moment, he could spend more time in the stone chamber.
They could even stay in the cave until they returned to Udan City.
This place was hidden and safe, impossible for ordinary people to find, as long as they were cautious of flying magical beasts.
They each found a spot to start practicing. Xiao Ze unfurled the black scroll, revealing a lifelike pair of wings!
As the qi flowed, the feathers on the wings gently swayed.
Practicing Purple Cloud Wings wasn't easy; it housed the soul of a Fifth Grade Magical Beast - Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle!
Although it was just an unconscious wild beast, it couldn't be underestimated.
Legend had it that possessing ancient phoenix bloodlines, it ranked top in flight speed.
In the original story, Xiao Yan succeeded in withstanding the residual soul's impact due to his strong soul strength.
With the help of Yao Lao, he stayed true to himself, avoiding becoming a beast only driven by slaughter.
Xiao Ze was confident in his soul strength, definitely surpassing others of the same level!
Moreover, the feedback from the system when he advanced to Fighter Tier further increased his soul strength!
Now, facing the unconscious soul's impact, it should be relatively easy.
After carefully studying the scroll, Xiao Ze called the Little Doctor Fairy, who was studying the Rainbow Poison Scripture.
"Xiao Ze, what's the matter? I found records of the Calamity Poison Body in the Rainbow Poison Scripture, similar to what you mentioned earlier..."
The Little Doctor Fairy walked over with the Rainbow Poison Scripture, but then she suddenly realized she might have misspoken.
"Xiao Ze, I'm not doubting what you said..."
"Alright, although the Calamity Poison Body is rare, it's still recorded. I called you over to help me guard while I cultivate this flying technique."
"Okay!" The Little Doctor Fairy put away the Rainbow Poison Scripture and earnestly stood guard nearby.
Xiao Ze touched the wings on the scroll with his fingertips, and a surge of soul impact came from the wings.
Just as Xiao Ze prepared for a protracted battle, he realized... the soul impact didn't seem that strong!
When he accepted the Hundredfold Feedback of the Calamity Poison Body before, he experienced the pain of destruction a thousand times over in an instant!
His resistance to such attacks had greatly increased!
Now facing the violent soul impact, it felt like a gentle breeze.
After enduring for a while, the violent soul impact finally receded like the tide.
Without hesitation, Xiao Ze continued his cultivation.
After enduring this round of impact, he hadn't consumed much energy.
He had to complete the cultivation in one go!
Azure-blue battle qi covered the wings on the scroll.
The wings radiated purple and black light, growing denser.
Finally, like lightning, they entered Xiao Ze's body through his palm.
Two small branches opened up within his body!
Intense pain surged again like waves...
