Dugu Yan sat cross-legged as instructed, placing the black booklet on her lap.
As the pages were turned, one after another, twisted and eerie characters came into view, like venomous snakes writhing on the paper.
Yu Nan's powerful dragon soul energy instantly enveloped the entire book, and he began to rapidly analyze its mysteries.
"Tsk, this creator is a madman."
A moment later, Yu Nan let out a sneer in his spiritual sea:
"The idea is certainly imaginative, attempting to cultivate one's body into a poisonous insect."
Unfortunately, his understanding of the human body's meridians was too superficial.
Following the training methods described here, the practitioner will die within three years from a festering sore body.
"Huh? Then..."
Dugu Yan was startled and almost dropped the book in her hand.
"What are you afraid of? I'm here."
Yu Nan said proudly:
"The core concept of this technique is 'devouring' and 'assimilation,' which is exactly the guiding method that your afflicted poisonous body lacks most."
"I will now use the Dragon Clan's body-refining secret technique as a foundation, and remove the self-harming parts from this technique."
"Retain its devouring properties and deduce a new cultivation technique for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Dugu Yan felt a massive influx of information flooding into her mind.
The originally obscure and violent "Records of the Netherworld Poison" became profound and exquisite under Yu Nan's revisions.
The original crude practice of "feeding the body with poison" has been transformed into the refined practice of "nourishing the body with poison".
The originally chaotic route for the poison gas delivery was redesigned, forming a perfect closed loop, as deep and powerful as the breath of a dragon.
A full hour passed.
Dugu Yan suddenly opened her eyes, and a strange purple light flashed in her originally emerald green eyes.
"This...this is the modified cultivation technique?"
She looked at her hands in disbelief.
He merely mentally rehearsed the new cultivation route.
She felt that the calamity-causing poison in her body, which had been restless and constantly needed to be suppressed, had become incredibly docile!
They were even cheering and yearning!
Craving more toxins!
"Senior, what is the name of this cultivation technique?"
Dugu Yan asked excitedly.
"Since it was tailor-made for your afflicted poisonous body and incorporates my dragon clan's secret techniques..."
Yu Nan said calmly:
"Then let's call it—'The Art of Devouring Poison from Calamity'."
"From now on, all the poisons in the world will be your tonic."
You no longer need to painstakingly cultivate your soul power; simply keep consuming deadly poison, and your soul power will skyrocket!
"Even when you cultivate to the highest level, you can corrode and devour the enemy's soul power through poison and turn it into your own!"
Dugu Bo listened in stunned silence.
Absorbing deadly poison to increase soul power?
This is simply an unprecedented and heaven-defying method!
It should be noted that the biggest fear for ordinary poison soul masters during cultivation is the backlash from the toxins, and they must be extremely careful with each level up.
But now, this deadly toxin has become the granddaughter's "food"?
"Yanyan, give it a try!"
Dugu Bo couldn't wait to take out a jade bottle from his soul tool and pour out a drop of purplish-black venom.
This is the venom he collected from a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. It is extremely poisonous, and an ordinary soul king would die instantly upon contact with it.
Without the slightest hesitation, Dugu Yan activated the "Calamity-Devouring Poison Technique," extending her slender fingers to gently touch the drop of venom.
Sizzle sizzle...
A tooth-grinding sound rang out.
The moment that drop of terrifying venom touched Dugu Yan's fingertip,
It was like ice and snow meeting a raging fire, instantly transforming into a pure, purplish-black energy that flowed into her body through her meridians.
Dugu Yan felt a warm current flow through her entire body, and her soul power, which had been somewhat weak due to her recent breakthrough, returned.
Surprisingly, with the replenishment of this energy, it instantly solidified a bit!
Moreover, there was absolutely no discomfort!
That feeling was like someone who hadn't eaten for three days taking a bite of braised pork—it was incredibly satisfying!
"It really...it really works!"
Dugu Yan cried out in delight, her eyes sparkling with an unprecedented light:
"Grandpa, I feel that my cultivation speed has increased by at least five times!"
No, ten times!
"Given enough poison, I'm even confident I can reach the Soul Emperor level within a year!"
"Ha ha ha ha!
good!
OK! "
Dugu Bo looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, tears streaming down his face.
The problem of the backlash from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King's venom, which had plagued the Dugu family for generations, was not only completely solved, but also became a shortcut for the granddaughter to reach the pinnacle!
All of this is thanks to that mysterious senior!
"I will never forget your great kindness, senior!"
Dugu Bo bowed deeply to the void, his tone utterly sincere.
"Alright, stop with the formalities."
Yu Nan yawned lazily:
"Now that we have the cultivation technique and the map, let Yan Yan cultivate diligently in the Sunset Forest for the next period of time."
"There are plenty of poisonous plants and beasts here, enough for her to eat until she vomits."
"Next, we need to try to gain the approval of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and allow Yan Yan to begin the Nine Trials of the Sea God!"
"If successful, Yan Yan is guaranteed to become a first-level deity!"
"And a first-level deity has one slot to bring someone up to the divine realm."
"At that time, Yan Yan will be able to take you to the realm of gods."
"Dugu Bo, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"Gods...the realm of gods?!"
Dugu Bo felt a buzzing in his head, and he was so unsteady that he had to hold onto the corner of the table to support himself.
His greatest wish in this life was simply to cure his granddaughter of the poison so that she could live a peaceful life.
Later, with the arrival of Senior Yu Nan, his ambition swelled a bit. He wanted to make the Dugu family the number one family on the continent and have his granddaughter become a titled Douluo.
But now, his senior is telling him that he and his grandfather have a chance to become gods?
Moreover, it's the kind of godhood where "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!"
"Senior, you...you mean, as long as Yan Yan becomes that first-level deity, I...I can also go to that legendary divine realm to enjoy blessings?"
Dugu Bo pointed to his own nose, his voice trembling like a withered leaf in the wind, his old face filled with disbelief and ecstasy.
Although this sounds like he's a "chicken and dog," this is the realm of gods!
That's the legendary place where people live forever and are carefree!
Let alone being a "chicken or dog," he would be more than willing to go to the realm of gods and guard the gates for the immortals!
Considering Dugu Bo's limited talent, it's already a miracle that he was able to cultivate to level 92 in this lifetime; taking another step forward would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But now, a road to heaven is right in front of us, and it's the kind of road that makes you "win without lifting a finger"!
"What, you don't want to?"
Yu Nan's teasing voice came from behind.
"Yes! Yes! A thousand times over!"
Dugu Bo nodded his head vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice, his old face beaming with joy.
"I'll go protect Yan Yan right now! Anyone who dares to disturb Yan Yan's cultivation, I'll poison them to death!"
