The energy around Xiao Yixian suddenly surged, lifting her half a meter off the ground. Spirit energy gathered in thick waves, funneling straight into her body.
"Poison gas?" Yao Chen exclaimed in shock.
"Poison?" Xiao Yan turned his gaze toward the tightly shut Wanyaozhai shop and asked thoughtfully, "Master, are you saying Ye Feng is refining poison pills?"
"I don't know yet," Yao Chen replied, his voice heavy. He then muttered under his breath, "This energy fluctuation… it doesn't feel like an ordinary poison pill, and…"
"And what?" Xiao Yan pressed.
Yao Chen didn't respond. Instead, his eyes narrowed as a strange memory surfaced.
He had once encountered a mysterious woman during his travels, a battle sparked by a rare medicinal herb. That woman possessed a poisonous body—terrifying and overwhelming. Yao Chen had barely escaped defeat back then.
Now, the fluctuations coming from Wanyaozhai felt oddly similar. But not identical.
This time, the poison aura was far more refined—less violent, more controlled. Still, the resemblance was too close to ignore.

Inside Wanyaozhai
Ye Feng stood silently, his gaze fixed on Xiao Yixian as the storm of spirit energy continued to pour into her body.
Her cultivation was skyrocketing like a rocket breaking through the heavens.
"Dou Practitioner ."
"Dou Master."
"Dou Grandmaster."
Her strength kept rising, the breakthrough unstoppable. In no time, she had stepped into the realm of a Dou Grandmaster. But it didn't stop there.
"Seven-Star Dou Grandmaster," Ye Feng muttered, eyes sharp.
When the energy finally calmed, Xiao Yixian stood on the ground once more, her aura now at the terrifying level of a Five-Star Dou Spirit.
Ya Fei was stunned. Her eyes widened as she asked, "Master Ye, are you saying... she's reached Five-Star Dou Spirit?!"
She couldn't help but recall her own experience. When her talent had been transformed by Ye Feng, she had broken through to a Three-Star Practitioner, stepping across the boundary from Warrior to Fighter.
But Xiao Yixian?
Her leap spanned the entire Dou Shi realm and the Da Dou Shi realm, straight into the realm of a Dou Spirit. It was absurd, shocking—and a little envious.
Ye Feng turned slightly, giving Ya Fei a casual glance, then looked back at Xiao Yixian. "Everyone's physical foundation is different. The better the potential, the stronger the transformation."
He paused, then said something that made Ya Fei purse her lips in silence.
"Xiao Yixian was already born with a poisonous body—one that rivals the bloodline of a Dou Emperor. After my transformation, this result is expected."
He turned to Ya Fei. "To be blunt, your talent was too weak."
"…!" Ya Fei didn't argue. She had no right to.
Before meeting Ye Feng, she had been exiled to Wutan City for failing to meet the Miteer Family's adult cultivation standard. It was only after Ye Feng's intervention that she had awakened the Fire Spirit Physique, comparable to the Tenth-Grade Dou Emperor bloodline.
And yet… here she was, just a maid.
In Dou Qi Continent, possessing a Tenth-Grade bloodline would be enough to be hailed as a peerless genius. But to Ye Feng, it was barely worth a second glance.
That's why she had willingly become his servant. In her heart, she knew her worth.

Xiao Yixian walked over, her eyes shining with curiosity. "Then… what kind of physique do I have now?"
Ye Feng replied calmly, "The Holy Body of Poison."
"Holy Body of Poison?" she repeated.
"It's a level above the Spirit Poison Body," Ye Feng explained. "It surpasses the Nine Spirit Bodies, even the Tenth-Grade Dou Emperor bloodline. It stands on the same level as the Ancient Saint Body and the Sky Tyrant Body. With this body, your future as a Dou Di is virtually guaranteed."
"Dou Di?" Xiao Yixian froze, blinking in disbelief. "You mean… I can really become a Dou Di?"
"Mm." Ye Feng nodded seriously.
Xiao Yixian's lips curled into a smile. "That's a very nice thing to say. I'm happy to hear it."
Ye Feng raised a brow. "What do you mean? You think I'm joking?"
She just smiled silently.
Ye Feng let out a small laugh. She was, after all, just a native girl from Qingshan Town. How could she truly understand what bodies like the Ancient Saint Body or the Sky Tyrant Body represented? Explaining it to her would just be a waste of time.

Noticing Ye Feng's pale face, Xiao Yixian frowned. "Why do you look so pale?"
Ye Feng didn't answer, but Ya Fei stepped forward and spoke in a soft tone, "To improve your body, Master Ye used his origin power. That's the essence of his life force. Once used, it takes an incredible amount of time and effort to recover."
Ye Feng didn't say a word.
Such things, if said by himself, might come off as manipulative. But if it came from someone else, especially Ya Fei, it would only make Xiao Yixian genuinely moved.
Xiao Yixian looked at him, emotion flickering in her eyes. "Is it serious?"
"It's fine. I just need to rest," Ye Feng replied.
Grrrr…
Suddenly, Ye Feng's stomach growled.
Both Xiao Yixian and Ya Fei froze, then exchanged glances—and burst into laughter.
"Ahem…" Ye Feng coughed, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Despite being a God of Creation, using his origin power had left his body weak. This was the first time he had ever felt hunger since becoming a god.
Turning to Xiao Yixian, Ye Feng asked with a straight face, "Can you cook?"
In the original story, Xiao Yixian was known for her cooking. She cooked well—very well.
"Of course," she said. But then she hesitated, remembering her identity. Her gaze grew serious. "But… I'm a poison master. Do you really dare to eat what I cook?"
Ye Feng laughed. "So what if you're a poison master? There's no poison under heaven that can kill me. Even if it's laced with venom, I'll still eat it."
"...Thank you." She smiled softly.
"What are you thanking me for?" Ye Feng asked, amused.
"Thank you… for treating me like this. No matter what I become in the future, in your eyes, I'll always be the Little Medical Fairy from Qingshan Town."
Ye Feng gave her a gentle look. "So what if you're a poison master? As long as your heart is kind, you can still save people. Haven't you heard of the phrase 'fighting poison with poison'?"
He reached out and gently flicked her forehead. "Alright, enough talking. Go prepare the food."
"Ouch—" Xiao Yixian winced and touched her forehead. She pouted, clearly unused to his casual affection. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back.
"Oh right. You killed Shopkeeper Yao. That means you're now the owner of Wanyaozhai. But many of our herbs are running low. You'll need to head to the Magical Beast Mountain Range restock."
"Then we'll go tomorrow," Ye Feng said, turning his gaze to Ya Fei.
"Yes, Master Ye?" Ya Fei stepped forward.
"When we enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range, I'll give you a gift," Ye Feng said with a faint smile. "With it… you'll become the Patriarch of the Miteer Family."
