Under the ancient tree, Xiao Xue opened the [Emergency Quest Reward] and immediately clicked [Claim].
Her heart was filled with immense anticipation.
This was because the reward experience points were still the guaranteed minimum of two million.
This indicated that the additional [S]-rank rewards were mostly contained within the subsequent reward items.
In fact, for Xiao Xue, although experience points were valuable, they weren't actually the most appealing thing to her.
After all, there were other ways to acquire experience points.
Therefore, other [Special Items], attribute points, or directly usable elixirs were more attractive to Xiao Xue.
If she could receive items or elixirs that she couldn't currently obtain, just like last time, it would be perfect.
The next moment, the familiar system notification sound rang out.
[Ding! You have obtained the following items:]
[Soul Cleansing Orchid] *1
[Designated Attribute Point: Poison Resistance] *2
[Tier 7 Magic Core: Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Core] *1
[2,000,000 EXP]
After seeing the item descriptions, Xiao Xue trembled with excitement. "What great stuff!"
Her sudden jolt startled Medusa, who was currently treating her injuries.
Medusa thought something unexpected had happened mid-treatment.
However, she noticed Xiao Xue's chest rising and falling steadily, her breathing long and even, and the Dou Qi within her body undisturbed.
Therefore, after a careful examination, Medusa relaxed and continued helping Xiao Xue clear her meridians.
Xiao Xue was currently in a state of high excitement.
Just as Xiao Xue had expected, the previous [Emergency Quest] was related to the Hall of Souls, and the rewards were mostly soul-related.
This time, the system's rewards were mainly related to [Poison].
Moreover, aside from the experience points, the other reward items were all extremely valuable!
[Designated Attribute Point: Poison Resistance]—there was nothing much to say about this; as the name suggested, it increased her resistance to poison.
Although it wasn't as good as the top-tier [Free Attribute Point], it was still a very useful attribute point.
The [Soul Cleansing Orchid], on the other hand, was a rare Tier 7 medicinal ingredient.
Its effect was similar to the [Silk-Lace Immortal Treasure] found in the neighboring sewer system.
Simply put, it possessed a certain degree of poison resistance.
If combined with other medicinal ingredients and refined into an elixir for the Woeful Poison Body to consume,
it could even delay the time of the Woeful Poison Body's eruption.
Of course, this kind of elixir could only alleviate the eruption and could not completely eradicate the threat of the Woeful Poison Body.
When the time came, the eruption would still occur.
However, the system's rewards also included a Tier 7 [Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Core].
If she remembered correctly, the so-called "Poison Pill Method" used to control the Woeful Poison Body in the original work required this type of Magic Core.
In addition, it required three types of Heavenly Flames and the Bodhi Transforming Body Saliva.
Three types of Heavenly Flames were absolutely no problem for Xiao Xue.
In fact, she already possessed three types right now.
—The copied Bone Chilling Flame, Ah Li's Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, and the recently subdued Nether Poison Flame.
The Bodhi Transforming Body Saliva had also appeared at an auction in the Black Corner Region; she just needed to make a trip there when the time came.
Her soul power had also reached the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm.
As long as Xiao Xue was given some time to practice, she could definitely refine Tier 7 elixirs.
It was even possible for her to refine high-grade and peak Tier 7 elixirs.
The other auxiliary medicinal ingredients needed for refining the elixir should all be available in this underground world.
Even if they weren't all here, she could gather most of them.
Moreover, even if the ingredients contained poison, it wouldn't matter; she could just treat it as a tonic for the Little Doctor Immortal (Xiao Yixian).
Therefore, she could completely refine the Soul Cleansing Orchid into an elixir for the Little Doctor Immortal to consume.
In that case, even if the Little Doctor Immortal took elixirs every day to level up;
her Woeful Poison Body would not erupt by the time the auction started and she obtained the Bodhi Transforming Body Saliva.
Thus, this trip not only allowed her to subdue the Nether Poison Flame but also largely solved the Little Doctor Immortal's Woeful Poison Body problem.
"These rewards are completely tailored for the Little Doctor Immortal."
Aside from the two points of [Poison Resistance] and the guaranteed two million experience points;
everything else could be described as custom-made for the Woeful Poison Body.
—It was unexpected, yet reasonable.
After all, the focus of this reward was [Poison].
Since there were no items this time that directly enhanced her strength, Xiao Xue felt slightly disappointed.
However, she wasn't skilled in dealing with poison-related things anyway.
If these items could boost the Little Doctor Immortal's strength, it would be better than letting them gather dust in her storage ring.
In any case, if the Little Doctor Immortal didn't have to worry about the Woeful Poison Body erupting, reaching the Dou Zong rank within one or two years with her talent would not be difficult.
This way, Xiao Xue would not only gain another Dou Zong combatant but also receive a large amount of experience point feedback through the [Master-Disciple] function.
So, this wave of rewards wasn't a loss after all.
"One shouldn't be too greedy; contentment brings happiness."
Xiao Xue quickly understood the key point, and the energetic girl recovered her vitality.
After all, she only discovered this secret realm by coincidentally unlocking the [Hidden Information] earlier.
Putting everything else aside, the two million experience points and the two points of [Poison Resistance] attribute alone made the trip worthwhile.
While thinking, Xiao Xue clicked [Claim].
However, she stored the Soul Cleansing Orchid and the Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Core into her system inventory.
Both items were very precious, and both were edible.
Keeping them in her storage ring wasn't safe, given a certain gluttonous little fox.
Then, Xiao Xue immediately used the [Designated Attribute Points].
[Designated Attribute Point: Poison Resistance, added]
[Poison Resistance: 1] -> [Poison Resistance: 3]
After adding these two points of [Poison Resistance], plus the initial one point, Xiao Xue now had three points of [Poison Resistance].
This was the third attribute to reach three points, following [Elemental Affinity] and [Physique].
With three points in [Poison Resistance], ordinary toxins could not cause her any harm.
Xiao Xue speculated that if she could achieve max-level [Poison Resistance], she would likely be immune to all poisons.
At that point, even if a Dou Sheng-level Woeful Poison Body unleashed its full power right in front of her face, she would be fine.
As [Poison Resistance] reached three points, a mysterious ripple spread around Xiao Xue's body.
Medusa, standing nearby: "...?"
Is she... having another enlightenment?
Medusa felt struck down yet again.
Earlier, when she saw Xiao Xue looking for a place to recover from her injuries, she had thought Xiao Xue was finally starting to act like a normal person.
But is *this* what you call recovering from injuries?
What normal person achieves enlightenment and advances further while their wounds haven't even healed?!
Only then did Medusa realize how ridiculous her previous thoughts had been.
"This little one really isn't human after all!"
Medusa sighed deeply and began, quite skillfully, to guard Xiao Xue.
