Battle Through the Heavens: Starting with Cao Ying as an apprentice

"In that case, come in!"

Su Baichen stepped aside, his voice very calm.

Cao Ying was not present at the moment, and the task at hand—to condense a poison pill for the Calamity Poison Body—required the simultaneous control of multiple different flames and the meticulous manipulation of immense soul power. Looking around, only he was truly capable of handling it.

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Little Fairy Doctor's eyes.

She nodded slightly, stepped into the room, her steps light and quiet, bringing with her a faint breeze carrying the scent of herbs.

[Yay! The first step of the plan was a success!]

The door closed gently behind me, shutting out the sounds from the outside world.

The interior was simply furnished, with a soft alchemy lamp on the table, casting warm shadows of the two people on the wall, swaying slightly.

The air was filled with a faint, refreshing scent belonging to Su Baichen, mixed with a few lingering traces of medicinal pills.

Su Baichen turned around and looked at the girl standing quietly in the room.

She was slender and wore a simple dress, which made her look particularly serene under the light. However, her slightly pursed lips revealed a hint of nervousness that was not easily detected.

He composed himself, his tone calm and solemn, carrying the unquestionable authority of a mentor: "In a moment, follow my instructions completely, without any resistance, understand?"

Little Fairy Doctor raised her eyes, met his gaze, nodded earnestly, and remained silent. Yet, a fleeting, other emotion seemed to lurk deep within her clear eyes.

"it is good."

Seeing her cooperation, Su Baichen felt a little relieved and gestured, "Go sit on the bed first, calm your mind and adjust your state."

Little Fairy Doctor followed her instructions and walked to the bedside, her skirt swaying gently with her movements. She sat down sideways, placing her hands folded on her knees, her posture obedient.

[Hmm, in a moment I will use my improved new Poison Pill method, using the vitality of the Flame of Life as the base, the Netherworld Poison Fire as the catalyst, and the Glazed Heaven-Burning Fire as the main force, with the three different flames alternating to temper her, which should preserve her original poison power to the greatest extent, while completely locking in the backlash of the poison body...]

Su Baichen quickly rehearsed the steps in his mind, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over the figure beside the bed.

However, the next second, his deduction suddenly stalled, and his pupils contracted slightly.

Wait, something's not right...

Sitting on the edge of the bed, the little fairy doctor raised her hand and untied the belt around her waist, causing her plain outer skirt to come loose.

Without pausing, her fingertips deftly unbuttoned the front of her garment, and a soft inner garment slid down her smooth shoulders.

"Hey! What are you doing? Why are you taking off your clothes?!" Su Baichen blurted out, his voice filled with rare surprise and a hint of barely perceptible panic.

The scene before him was far beyond his expectations, causing his usually calm mind to go blank for a moment.

Even upon hearing his low shout, Little Fairy Doctor's movements only paused slightly, but instead quickened a bit.

She raised her head and looked at her master, whose face showed surprise. Her beautiful face was slightly flushed, but her eyes were calm and even serious, as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "The method of poison pills... does it not require removing all clothes?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear, echoing in the quiet room: "Otherwise, how could you, Master, accurately guide the strange fire to condense the poison pill for me? Clothing is an obstacle; what if it affects the flow of the strange fire or the guidance of the poison, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the last piece of soft, close-fitting silk clothing slipped off her body and piled up on top of her plain dress.

A fair and delicate body, as white as jade, was presented to Su Baichen without any concealment.

Soft light flowed over her slender collarbone, her incredibly thin waist, and her long, straight legs... Every curve seemed meticulously sculpted, shimmering with a delicate luster in the halo of light.

The girl's naivety and gradually blossoming charm create a breathtaking contrast in this unreserved presentation.

She trembled slightly, a tiny shiver running down her skin, but stubbornly refused to shrink back or cover herself. Only her hands, clasped together in front of her, had knuckles that were slightly white from the force of her grip.

Holy crap...

Su Baichen's gaze was involuntarily captured, and his mind went blank. Countless random thoughts surged up, only to be forcefully suppressed by his powerful willpower.

[As expected of Little Fairy Doctor... that waist, it's truly... a willow waist!!!]

Some inappropriate praises and daydreams grew wildly like weeds. But then, he abruptly shook his head, his eyes regaining their clarity, and he silently rebuked himself:

[No! Su Baichen, what are you thinking! She's your disciple, she trusts you so much, entrusting her life and reputation to you, and yet you're having impure thoughts at this moment! Calm down! She's just acting based on her understanding of the treatment, or... a misunderstanding due to nervousness!]

Perhaps sensing Su Baichen's momentary lapse in concentration and subsequent self-control, Little Fairy Doctor's previously trembling body strangely calmed down.

She even subtly adjusted her breathing to calm her slightly rapid chest rise and fall.

【hey-hey……】

A slightly smug thought began to stir in her mind.

[It seems my little master can still be manipulated.]

[I always thought that Master might prefer someone like Sister Caidie, or Master Xuanyi... well, someone a bit plump.]

Her gaze swept quickly over her chest, which, though not particularly impressive, still possessed a beautiful curve.

[Now it seems that even someone as small as me... can elicit a reaction from Master.]

I felt at peace, and even a surge of inexplicable courage rose within me.

Little Fairy Doctor raised her eyes to meet Su Baichen's complex and unreadable gaze. Her voice deliberately carried a hint of innocence and doubt as she softly asked, "What's wrong, Master?"

She paused, her cheeks flushing even redder, but continued, "That day... when you saved me in the secret room, didn't you... already see me completely naked?"

His voice grew softer and softer, yet every word was clear.

"Now that we see it again, what's there to be shy about?"

Upon hearing this, Su Baichen was speechless, feeling a throbbing vein on his forehead.

[Damn it! Is that how it's supposed to be?!]

[The situation was critical; the poison gas was about to explode completely. I was saving lives! Throughout the entire process, I was on edge, completely focused on controlling the poison. As soon as I finished, I immediately wrapped you up tightly in a blanket! I didn't see much at all!]

At best... I only caught a fleeting glimpse, a "tiny" outline! I should have known better than to tease her during our casual chat a few days ago! This girl was actually waiting for me here!

His expression shifted, eventually settling into a helpless, bitter laugh.

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

She tried to make her voice sound calm and composed, even with a kind of "fearless" determination, and said earnestly, "Come on, Master. Didn't you always teach us—"

She repeated his words slowly and deliberately: "'Those who do great things do not concern themselves with trifles.'"

Su Baichen was completely speechless and raised his hand to rub his temples.

You really are... my good apprentice.

He thought to himself, half-laughing, half-crying: "You've really put what I taught you into practice, and here you've returned it all to me verbatim!"

The arrow is on the string, and it must be released.

The application of the Poison Pill technique truly requires precise sensing and guidance of every bit of poison power within her body. Although clothing is an ordinary item, it can still create some barrier. In such a delicate process, any slight interference can be amplified.

From a purely "therapeutic" perspective, what she said... actually makes some sense.

Chapter 271 Condensing the Poison Pill!

That's enough!

Su Baichen steeled his resolve, dispelling the last trace of hesitation.

It's not like I'm the one who's losing out! I might as well watch, as long as I don't have any other thoughts!

"Alright!" he replied in a deep voice, no longer hesitating. He silently recited a calming mantra several times in his mind, forcibly suppressing the restlessness in his blood and qi caused by the scene before him.

His gaze returned to its deep and focused state, and the composure and authority that belonged to a master returned to him.

He walked to the bedside. When Little Fairy Doctor saw him approach, half of her feigned composure crumbled instantly, her long eyelashes trembled violently, and she tightly closed her eyes.

The composed demeanor she had displayed while speaking was gone; now, she was so nervous that she held her breath, her clenched fingers turned white, and her body stiffened slightly.

Su Baichen stopped paying attention to these things, focused his mind and calmed his spirit, sinking his thoughts into the depths of his dantian and connecting with the mysterious space of the Heavenly Profound Pearl.

His thoughts, like silk threads, swiftly coiled around the two unruly and powerful sources of flame.

"Netherworld beings, heed my command!"

He silently urged himself on, using the power of the Heavenly Profound Pearl to supplement his own vast soul power, forcibly coordinating the forces.

The emerald green flames of life flickered slightly, as if expressing dissatisfaction at being suddenly awakened. The flames of life conveyed a hint of "anger" similar to being disturbed from a peaceful dream.

Su Baichen soothed him gently, conveying a clear message: "Be good, listen to me. This matter is of utmost importance, help me save people."

The "emotions" of the Flame of Life have calmed down. It inherently contains boundless vitality and has a natural inclination towards healing.

Sensing the solemnity and request in its owner's mind, it obediently suppressed all its restlessness and began to move gently, exuding a comforting aura of life.

The Netherworld Poison Fire (which had not yet developed sentience) also calmed down, its eerie light flickering, faintly echoing the overwhelming poisonous power contained within the delicate body in front of it.

Su Baichen nodded slightly, and with a thought, a third flame rose from his palm.

Purple-gold glazed sky-burning fire!

The three-colored flames flickered around him, casting a bizarre and surreal light in the room, while the temperature remained perfectly controlled.

He gazed at the girl before him, her eyes tightly closed, waiting anxiously. His voice softened, carrying a reassuring composure and undeniable authority as he clearly instructed:

"Little Fairy Doctor, listen carefully. In a moment, I will use my soul power to guide and manipulate the strange fire to gradually force all the poisonous gas contained in your meridians, internal organs, and even bone marrow to one place in your dantian, compress and condense it, and initially form the prototype of the poison pill."

"This process must be carried out step by step, without the slightest mistake. The strange fire entering the body will burn away the poison, which may be accompanied by severe pain, especially when the poison is separated from the flesh. You must remain conscious throughout the process and fully cooperate with my guidance. You must absolutely not use your internal energy to resist, understand?"

Little Fairy Doctor's long eyelashes trembled a few times before she slowly opened her eyes.

What came into view was Master's face, so close yet so focused and earnest, and the reassuring, powerful phantom of flames swirling around him.

All the shyness, nervousness, and trepidation seemed to be soothed by this absolute focus and sense of responsibility at this moment.

She nodded vigorously, her voice soft but exceptionally firm: "I understand, Master. I will endure it and will never cause you any trouble."

Su Baichen nodded upon hearing this.

Then, with piercing eyes, he released his Heavenly Realm Soul, taking in every change within Little Fairy Doctor's body.

After the strange fire entered Little Fairy Doctor's body, the three strange fires, under her precise control, were like three medical masters, each performing their own duties.

The purple-gold fire stream formed by the Glazed Heavenly Fire was domineering yet delicate, like an invisible fire barrier, slowly advancing from the limbs and bones, driving out the purple primordial poison gas that lingered deep in the meridians and between the bones, bit by bit.

If the poisonous gas showed the slightest resistance or resistance, the Glazed Heavenly Flame would intensify, and the oppressive power originating from the spiritual fire of heaven and earth would force even these unruly primordial poisonous gases to retreat.

The Netherworld Poison Fire, on the other hand, presents a completely different appearance. Its color is dark, like the deepest night, yet it also carries a hint of eerie emerald green.

As a flame that also possesses the attribute of "poison," it has a natural attraction and affinity for poisonous gases of the same origin.

It doesn't drive them away, but transforms into streaks of dark fire, like the most skillful guides, weaving through the meridians, actively approaching the poisonous gas driven out by the Glazed Heavenly Fire, issuing silent calls and pulls.
