Within the temporal barrier,

Little Medicine Fairy sat cross-legged.

Qian Mo prepared to begin.

"Xian'er, you may feel a little pain soon—hold on, okay?" Qian Mo said, offering a word of warning.

"Alright, Master, go ahead. I can bear it. I want to fully master the Calamity Poison Body," Little Medicine Fairy replied resolutely, biting her lip.

"Good, that's my disciple!" Qian Mo nodded approvingly. "Now, I will begin!"

"Yes, please!"

With those words, Qian Mo channeled spiritual energy, placing her hand before Little Medicine Fairy’s chest. She raised her palm, grasped, and poured forth spiritual power. Gradually, a poisonous aura began rising around them, tinged with green and black.

"This is the true form of the Calamity Poison Body? Remarkable! Even though this is a low-tier martial world, this thing is extraordinarily potent," Qian Mo mused as she observed the essence.

Suddenly, Little Medicine Fairy cried out in pain.

Having her core essence drawn out was agonizing. Sweat streamed down her forehead, her face pale.

"Xian'er, hold on, it will be over soon. Once it's done, you'll be fine," Qian Mo said, unable to hide her sympathy. She was, after all, just a child under ten, and fate had not been kind. But since you have met me, I will help you break free and seize control of your destiny! She spoke with determined gravity.

"…Yes…Teacher," Little Medicine Fairy replied, trembling but steadfast.

"Only a thread of the core essence needs to be extracted," Qian Mo thought.

She raised her other hand, channeling spiritual energy to separate a strand of the Calamity Poison Body's core.

"It's done," Qian Mo said quietly.

She returned the rest of the Calamity Poison Body to Little Medicine Fairy.

"Keep your battle energy flowing. Don’t stop," Qian Mo instructed.

"Yes."

Little Medicine Fairy’s face was pale and weak. Extracting a single strand of core essence wouldn’t harm her, but she would be exhausted for a while before gradually recovering.

Qian Mo gazed at the strand of Calamity Poison Body essence in her hand, examining it carefully.

"Good. Now that I have the material, I can craft the Calamity Fruit Pill. Once Little Medicine Fairy takes it, she’ll gain complete mastery over the Calamity Poison Body and her cultivation will soar," Qian Mo murmured.

With those words, she suspended the Calamity Poison Body’s essence in midair. A flicker of flame appeared in her hand—the Phoenix Divine Flame, unused for a long time.

For an emperor-level alchemist like Qian Mo, pill refining was effortless.

The divine flame took the shape of a phoenix in the air, enveloping the essence of the Calamity Poison Body.

The Phoenix Divine Flame’s extraordinary heat was far beyond what a mere strand of Calamity Poison Body essence could withstand. Even the main body’s core could not endure it, let alone a single strand.

Thus, under the Phoenix Divine Flame, the essence quickly melted into a pool of poisonous liquid.

"Now, it's time to add the ingredients."

"Ha! Refine!"

Qian Mo tossed a poisonous fruit into the liquid, refining them together.

Soon, the process reached its ideal stage.

Next came pill condensation. Although Qian Mo was an emperor-level pill master, this was not her original rank—it was a ticket given by her disciple and she was not yet fully skilled, but her success rate was nearly one hundred percent.

"Ha! Condense!"

Qian Mo cried aloud.

The poisonous liquid atop the flame gathered, slowly forming a spherical pill.

This marked the successful condensation.

The divine flame brought the pill back to Qian Mo’s hand.

"This is the Calamity Fruit Pill," Qian Mo said, gazing at it.

Little Medicine Fairy was no longer as pale and weak as before. She looked somewhat better.

"Teacher, did you finish refining it?" her weak voice asked.

"Yes. This pill is called Calamity Fruit Pill. Once you take it and refine it, you’ll gain true mastery over the Calamity Poison Body," Qian Mo said calmly.

She placed the pill into Little Medicine Fairy’s mouth.

"Gulp."

Little Medicine Fairy swallowed the Calamity Fruit Pill.

"Focus your mind, circulate your battle energy, and refine it," Qian Mo instructed.

"Alright," Little Medicine Fairy responded.

For a third-stage battle energy cultivator like Little Medicine Fairy, refining it was still possible.

"When she finishes refining it, I wonder how many levels she’ll leap? As for the foundation issue—there’s no such thing with me here. However many levels she can ascend, so be it. Once she fully masters the Calamity Poison Body, her cultivation speed will skyrocket. As long as she consumes poison, she’ll never be unable to advance," Qian Mo muttered.

She licked her lips and watched as Little Medicine Fairy began refining the Calamity Fruit Pill.

Nightfall

Qian Mo waited from afternoon until night. At last, Little Medicine Fairy finished refining the Calamity Fruit Pill.

Her level soared rapidly.

"Battle energy—sixth stage… eighth stage… ninth stage peak…"

"One-star Fighter… six-star Fighter… one-star Battle Master… nine-star Battle Master…"

"One-star Grand Battle Master… five-star Grand Battle Master… nine-star Grand Battle Master…"

"…Eight-star Battle Spirit…"

The progression slowed… In the end, Little Medicine Fairy’s level settled at eight-star Battle Spirit.

This was only the first stage of her advancement. The Calamity Poison Body had three stages in total.

The second stage would begin once she reached Battle Sect, and the third upon reaching Battle Saint.

"Oh my goodness! That’s terrifying! She’s even more formidable than Xiao Yan," Qian Mo thought, astonished.

She had expected the first stage would only allow her to reach Grand Battle Master, but the reality far exceeded her imagination—by a whole major rank and eight stars!

"This Calamity Poison Body is not to be underestimated! Should I craft one for my wives as well?" Qian Mo pondered, but ultimately shook her head.

"No, I’ll save that idea for later. They may not want it, and it’s not necessarily the best choice."

"Xian'er, how do you feel?" Qian Mo asked.

Little Medicine Fairy, still seated cross-legged, opened her eyes and blinked.

Her complexion was healthier than before, rosy and tender, though she seemed slightly more mature, no longer as childish as before.

She felt the changes in her body and her face lit up with joy.

She turned to Qian Mo. "Teacher, I feel better than ever before! I’m filled with power!"

Little Medicine Fairy clenched her fists.

"Do you know what your current level is?" Qian Mo asked again.

"Um? I don’t know! I just feel so much stronger! But compared to Master, I’m still far behind," Little Medicine Fairy replied, touching her hair.

"You! You don’t even know your own cultivation level."

"Right now, you are an eight-star Battle Spirit," Qian Mo said calmly, awaiting her surprise.

"What? Teacher, are you joking? I was only at third-stage battle energy before, and now… eight-star Battle Spirit? I feel like I’m dreaming!"

Little Medicine Fairy, unable to believe it, pinched her cheeks furiously.
