Chapter 142 The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture
Because the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was sealed by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, who was at the half-Emperor level, the sealing formation was extremely powerful. Not to mention Xiao Feng, even if Gu Yuan and the Soul Emperor joined forces, they would not be able to break it.
Otherwise, why don't they break the formation and subdue the Pure Lotus Demon Flame?
Don't say things like they look down on the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. Is that even possible? The most powerful Strange Flame among the ancient clans is the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, ranked fourth on the Strange Flame Ranking, which is inside Gu Xun'er's body. To say they have no interest in the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, which is ranked third on the Strange Flame Ranking and is the only one of its kind in the world? How could that be?
Moreover, after the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was sealed, it did not simply disappear without a trace. Among the eight ancient clans, there was a saying: "When two moons appear together, nine stars unite, and the tides of heaven and earth rise, the demon flame descends upon the world!"
This statement explains the extraordinary phenomena that occurred when the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was truly born. Such phenomena have appeared more than once or twice since ancient times, so the eight ancient clans were well aware of the location of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.
Faced with such a powerful and tempting strange fire, even Gu Yuan and the others could not resist the temptation. However, the reason they did not take action to forcibly seize the Pure Lotus Demon Fire was because they could not break the great formation left by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint to seal the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. So even though they knew where the Pure Lotus Demon Fire was, they still could not obtain it.
The prophecy of "two moons appearing simultaneously, nine stars united, the tides of heaven and earth, and the descent of demonic fire" does not mean that the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire will break its seal and appear in the Dou Qi Continent at this time. Rather, it means that the sealing array left by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint is often at its weakest at this time, and the strong in the Dou Qi Continent can take this opportunity to open a gap in the array, thereby entering the space that seals the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire and going to reclaim it.
Now, it will be at least twenty years before the next strange phenomenon caused by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame appears. Naturally, Xiao Feng does not want to just wait around for such a long time.
Therefore, the map containing the Pure Lotus Demon Flame became his only option. He knew very well that as long as he collected all four fragments of the map, he could restore it to its complete form. Within the complete map, there was a soul imprint left by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. With his help, Xiao Feng might be able to break through the great formation and enter it when it was at its strongest.
Of course, these are just his conjectures; whether he will succeed or not will depend on his personal experience after he collects all four fragments of the map. Although it's only a possibility, just his conjecture, the mere mention of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is enough to make him want to try.
Xiao Feng put the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map into his storage ring. Then, a suction force suddenly burst out from his palm, and the bunch of keys held by the withered arm that he had previously torn off flew into his hand.
After obtaining the key, Xiao Feng went to the bluestone platform.
These stone boxes can deter most people, but not powerful individuals like Xiao Feng. He could easily break them open with brute force, without needing the key. However, since the key is right in front of him, he doesn't need to resort to brute force.
Xiao Feng was very clear about what was inside the three stone boxes. The first stone box contained a book called "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture"; the second stone box contained a high-level Xuan-rank flying combat skill called "Eagle's Wings"; and the third stone box contained a high-level Xuan-rank sonic combat skill called "Roar of the Mad Lion".
Both flight-type and sonic-type combat techniques are extremely rare in the Dou Qi Continent. However, this only applies to ordinary people. For the Xiao Clan, which has a ten-thousand-year-old heritage, there are quite a few flight-type and sonic-type combat techniques. Therefore, Xiao Feng is not very interested in them.
The primary objective of this mission is to find the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame hidden within the withered bones—this is of utmost importance! Besides that, the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture stored in the first stone box is also one of Xiao Feng's targets, especially after he found Little Fairy Doctor.
"The Seven-Colored Poison Manual," as its name suggests, is a manual on poisons. It describes how to concoct, prepare, and detoxify poisons, and can be considered a treasure of the poison master world.
As a person with a calamity-inducing poison body, Little Fairy Doctor is destined to be associated with poison in this life, so giving her the "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture" is the most suitable thing to do.
With this "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture," Little Fairy Doctor will surely be even more powerful in the future, with her strength increasing dramatically!
Although the Xiao clan possesses numerous books of various kinds, there aren't many specifically on the subject of poisons. Therefore, the appearance of the "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture" perfectly met Xiao Feng's needs; otherwise, he would have needed to order people to search for a poison scripture. However, it would be difficult to find another poison scripture as comprehensive and extensive as the "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture."
Holding one of the keys, he aimed it at the keyhole of the first stone box, and with a click, it opened directly! It has to be admitted that Xiao Feng's luck was quite good.
He took out the ancient scroll, opened it, and saw the four large characters "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture" at the beginning. Xiao Feng was completely relieved and put it into his storage ring.
It's true that the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture belongs to Little Fairy Doctor, but that will have to wait until she starts cultivating it. At that time, she can completely improve her strength by consuming poisons without any bottlenecks or side effects. Of course, at that time, Xiao Feng will also implement a method to completely resolve her Calamity Poison Body, so that she has no worries.
For now, he will keep the "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture" for safekeeping.
After doing all this, Xiao Feng placed the two keys in his hand on the stone platform. He did not open the remaining two stone boxes and take out the fighting techniques inside. For him, these fighting techniques were not helpful at all, so they should remain here and wait for their destined owners.
After doing all this, Xiao Feng looked at Little Fairy Doctor beside him. At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes were filled with gold coins in front of her. So many gold coins piled up together truly opened her eyes and made her unable to look away.
Having grown up in a remote mountain village, Little Fairy Doctor naturally understood the function and importance of gold coins. Similarly, she had never seen so many gold coins before! Now, seeing so many gold coins all at once, her greedy nature suddenly erupted, and she directly plunged into the pile of gold coins, rummaging through them and stuffing them into her pockets.
