Three Major Toxins

Virtual Universe, Yu Xiang Mountain.

Inside Lin Yan Manor.

Lin Yan sat in a chair in the study, a screen appearing in front of him, which he glanced at.

"Yes, after my permissions were changed, there is now an additional file— 'Backstage Management'."

Lin Yan clicked on "Backstage Management".

A page immediately appeared with three options: "Life", "Learning", and "Cultivation".

First, click on "Life".

Suddenly, a large number of sub-items appeared, including "Star Map", "Food", "Nutrient Pod", "Residence", "Spaceship"... Lin Yan noticed that they were all about solutions to various problems encountered while living in the Original Secret Realm.

The "Nutrient Pod" is a benefit offered by Virtual Universe Company to all Core Member, who can apply to use Nutrient Pod to reach the highest level of their current rank.

"Finally, I can reach the Cosmic Level Nine."

Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Logically speaking, his Superhuman Bloodline could continue to grow even without active cultivation. However, the Initial Universe was special, and he hadn't seen the sun in Chaos City all these years.

Because the energy stored in his internal crystal core went directly to the Initial Universe after reaching the Cosmic level, it was not replenished. Therefore, he has not undergone any cultivation in the past thirty years and is still at the first level of the Cosmic level.

"Apply!" Lin Yan clicked to apply for the use of the Nutrient Pod.

Beep!

A small screen appeared, displaying a beautiful Green-haired Woman dressed in a white robe. She smiled and said, "Your His Highness Lin Yan, would you like to request the use of the Nutrient Pod now?"

"Yes." Lin Yan nodded.

The Green-haired Woman smiled and said, "Yes, Your His Highness Lin Yan, we will deliver the Nutrient Pod to your residence within one day."

"Besides--"

"Here's a heads-up for Your Highness: the Virtual Universe System indicates that you are cultivating a special secret technique that requires a large amount of Nutrient Fluid. According to your permissions, the Nutrient Fluid within your 200,000 Hun Yuan Unit is within your free quota."

"We will prepare more precious Nutrient Fluid for Your Highness's Nutrient Pod. If it is still insufficient, please let me know in time."

Lin Yan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you."

The call has been disconnected.

"They actually made arrangements for this."

Lin Yan sighed, "My Life Gene Level is different from others, so evolution naturally requires more Nutrient Fluid. I also have Green Line Devouring Worm Clone. Without special arrangements, I can only rely on myself to buy them, which is no small amount."

Despite being supplied to all Core Member of the Virtual Universe Company, these Nutrient Pod are actually extremely valuable and virtually impossible to buy outside the company. Even if they were available, the price would be exorbitant.

The fact that their free quota is 200,000 Hun Yuan Unit also provides clues.

This undoubtedly represents the importance that the Chaos City Lord attaches to it.

Otherwise, why would someone of his status bother with such a trivial matter?

Given Lin Yan's demonstrated potential, this Peak Existence of the human race is likely also watching him and doesn't want to see him waste time cultivating Origin Energy and psychic power.

I closed the "Life" tab and then opened "Study".

The learning section is divided into "Theory" and "Practice"!

The theory is mainly taught in open classes throughout the entire Original Zone. At the very least, the lectures are given by Feng Wang level Immortal, and occasionally, even Universe Venerable will give lectures!

These courses either discuss the eight Origin Law of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and light, or the two most difficult Origin Law of space and time.

There are also courses that combine "space and metal" and "space and wood".

There are also some skills courses and mindfulness training courses.

Unlike other secret realms, members of the Original Zone are all qualified to have an immortal teacher of at least the Marquis level to teach them personally. Therefore, the teachers of the open classes are all at least the King level Immortal. The teaching resources of the Original Zone are undeniably abundant.

Long ago.

Because of "Man Luo", Lin Yan once went to the Purple Crystal Island in the Virtual Universe and listened to public lectures by Internal Member the Ganwu Branch for a period of time. However, most of the teachers in those public lectures were World Master, and it was rare for immortals to give lectures.

Before long, those courses became too simplistic and lost their effectiveness for Lin Yan.

"Now that I'm leaving Chaos City, I need a teacher to guide me in my manor long-term." Lin Yan's mind stirred. "I'll ask the Mu Xing Country Lord for his opinion in a while."

Previously, one could consult King Tong Nan and True Yan King, but not anymore.

In the learning section, theory is taught by many powerful figures, while practice is divided into "Tongtian Bridge", "Illusionary Sea" and "Immortal Altar".

The Tongtian Bridge tests one's understanding of the Universe Origin Law. The deeper one's understanding, the more levels of the Tongtian Bridge one can cross, and the more points one will earn.

The Illusionary Sea tests a cultivator's Consciousness Strength and willpower! Consciousness and willpower are extremely important in cultivation, breaking through bottlenecks, and combat. Venturing into the Illusionary Sea, starting from the outermost layer and gradually deepening, also yields a large number of points as rewards.

The Immortal Altar tests physical strength; the same body can produce different levels of power depending on the cultivator.

Pure brute force is 1 unit, but skilled cultivators can reach 20 or 30 units or more... The true limit of physical exertion is 100 units, which is the mark of perfect body control.

Achieving perfect control over one's physical strength is a prerequisite for breaking through to immortality.

All three can earn points, but the Immortal Altar offers lower point rewards.

But the Immortal Altar also has its own unique features.

Unlike on Earth, where you can test strength with Punch Strength Tester.

When you cultivate to this level, a casual punch will naturally contain a trace of law. For example, if you exert 20 units of force, it may reach 100 units if it contains law, and the testing instrument will only measure 100 units.

In the Immortal Altar plane, by isolating the Universe Origin Law, the Universe Origin Energy, and the Origin Energy and mental power within the body, one can accurately test the exertion of physical force.

After looking at "Life" and "Study", Lin Yan clicked on the third column, "Cultivation".

In the Virtual Universe Company, points are more effective than money. Apart from the point rewards for conquering the Tongtian Bridge, the Illusionary Sea, and the Immortal Altar, the only other way to earn points is by choosing Cultivation Mission.

Training in Virtual Universe alone is not enough to grow into a true powerhouse.

Cultivation Mission are real-world trials; only through repeated bloody battles can these geniuses truly surpass themselves and become stronger.

Cultivation Mission are divided into five levels based on their level of danger: "Safe Level," "Ordinary Level," "Difficult Level," "Dangerous Level," and "Desperate level." The points earned upon successfully Cultivation Mission vary depending on the level of danger.

Safe Level: Mortality rate is 0

Ordinary Level: Mortality rate is 10%.

Difficult Level: Mortality rate is 20%

Dangerous Level: Mortality rate is 50%.

Desperate level: Mortality rate is 90%.

"Cultivation Mission".

Lin Yan pondered the word, a hint of longing in his eyes.

This Cultivation Mission is undoubtedly very important to him. Not only can he obtain a large number of points, but also... Lin Yan knows that as a mechanism set up by the Virtual Universe Company to cultivate geniuses, the cultivation worlds corresponding to these tasks contain great secrets.

Big secrets are also big opportunities.

Certainly--

Exploring these secrets is extremely dangerous and can easily lead to death.

"Aside from the System Reward when breaking through to a higher realm, the most important function of my system is to 'unlock opportunities.' I am now at the Cosmic level and have three chances. If I can make good use of these three chances, I can gain unimaginable benefits."

Lin Yan pondered to himself, "Moreover... it's not just those three opportunities; even without expending any chance, I can directly see what these secrets are, which would be of great significance to my adventure."

He doesn't need to seize an opportunity to know what the hidden secret is; he just can't get any other help.

However, the "unknown" can affect his judgment. When the secret is no longer unknown, it is very helpful for Lin Yan to make a choice.

At the Stellar level, his strength was weak, and he only dared to roam within the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain. Even so, he purposefully sought out the "World Lord's World," thus obtaining the inheritance of the Fensun World Lord. By chance, he also entered the divine kingdom of the "God Tree King"!

Lin Yan gained a great deal that time.

A sea of blood spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers! It was entirely composed of extremely pure blood essence. The Sha Luo Flower absorbed only a very small portion of it, yet it had already reached the Domain Lord level 9, and it had undergone a fundamental change.

Most importantly!

On that occasion, he nurtured the Special Lifeform "Green Line Devouring Worm" into his first clone.

After Lin Yan broke through to the Planetary level, the system was upgraded. Although its presence was not strong, in fact, almost all the precious treasures on Lin Yan's body were obtained through the system.

In the vast universe, there are countless opportunities, but they are hard to find. Lin Yan happens to possess that key.

And now.

What treasures will these cultivation worlds within the Cosmic Secret Realm bring him?

Lin Yan's eyes gleamed, and then he closed the "Backstage Management" app.

"It's too early to talk about Cultivation Mission now."

Lin Yan calmed down. "First, I need to wait until I and the Green Line Devouring Worm both reach the Cosmic Level Nine, then convert the more than one million points from crossing the Tongtian Bridge into strength, and the Sha Luo Flower and the Tai Sui Tree Spirit also need to evolve to the World Lord level."

"Strength is fundamental. Only with strength can one be qualified to seek opportunities. Without strength, always taking risks is not a good habit."

Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting.

With these preparations done, even if you encounter World Lord level being during Cultivation Mission, you will still be able to put up a fight.

Otherwise, no matter how strong his survival skills are, he could easily become someone else's casualty.

Lin Yan then opened the "treasure trove".

Search for "Black Hole Evolution".

Looking at the text and images that appeared, this was also an ultimate secret manual worth hundreds of billions of points.

The first two volumes of "Black Hole Evolution" require 10,000 points.

The first three volumes of "Black Hole Evolution" have 100,000 points.

Lin Yan looked at the screen and thought to himself, "I have 1.12 million points now, which can be used to buy the first four books. But after buying the first four books, I will have 120,000 points left. I will need to buy other items."

"In that case, it will probably be a long time before I can accumulate enough points for the fourth volume of 'The Chaos Principle'."

Lin Yan only needed the first three volumes of "Time-Space Essays" and "Cosmic Combination Theory." He bought them simply to help himself understand the Law essence of time and space more quickly, and he didn't need to buy the later volumes.

However, the Chaos Principle is different.

He only has the first three books so far; the fourth book will also cost one million.

He can only accept a maximum of 10 Cultivation Mission every 100 years. Even under the most ideal circumstances, he would probably need to complete most of the Cultivation Mission to obtain that many points.

However, after thinking about it, Lin Yan stopped hesitating and finally clicked to buy the first four books.

"Transaction successful!"

"1 million points deducted, remaining points: 127,800."

"Please wait, someone will deliver the secret technique shortly."

A series of prompts appeared on the screen.

Lin Yan smiled casually, "The Chaos Principle is not urgent for now. I will only need to consider it after I have fully comprehended all the essences. By then, I will be able to cross the 12th or 13th level of the Tongtian Bridge."

"However, judging from other books, the first three volumes of 'Black Hole Evolution' should be relatively basic, as it is Combat Secret Technique. My Law Comprehension is close to immortality, and my progress is very fast. The first three volumes may not be able to unleash my full potential."

"If you have the first four volumes, you don't need to worry about this."

Lin Yan couldn't help but look forward to the upcoming "Black Hole Evolution," but he needed to buy more than just these.

"Wind Queen, I need help with research books on the 'toxin' of the Green Line Devouring Worm. I asked you to keep an eye out for it before."

Wind Queen was already prepared. "Master, I searched the treasure vault according to your request, and based on your situation, there are three options that are more suitable. You can choose from them."

Lin Yan nodded, and the screen in front of him immediately changed, displaying the text and illustrations of three books.

"Yu Luo", valued at 20,000 points, was created by the pharmacist "Yu Luo" and its main research area is "Energy Toxin".

"North Factor," valued at 30,000 points, is a major category of "psychological North Factor," and this book is a comprehensive research result of the pharmacist on "North Factor."

"Overview of Ten Thousand Poisons," worth 50,000 points, is a book by the powerful pharmacist "Liao Min," whose main research area is "Biological Toxin."

According to Wind Queen, there exists a "Dead Sea Venom" in the treasure vault, which is slightly inferior to "Femo Venom" and also poses a great threat to Immortal Divine Body. It was created by the apothecary "Liao Min".

Wind Queen said, "Master, after careful selection, these three books all start from the Wood Origin Law, respectively the 'energy,' 'spirit,' and 'biological' routes, which are all quite suitable for the research on the toxins of the Green Line Devouring Worm."

Lin Yan looked at it and felt there was no problem.

"Then let's buy them all."

Wind Queen asked in surprise, "Buy them all?"

"Um."

Lin Yan nodded. "Unlike ultimate secret manuals like 'Black Hole Evolution,' which don't offer any discounts, other secret techniques or treasures are discounted by 30% as I'm Primal Secret Region Member. The three books together cost 70,000 points, which is alright, not too expensive."

The investment of 70,000 points has a significant impact on the Green Line Devouring Worm. If it can achieve the desired effect, it can greatly enhance the combat capabilities of the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone.

The pharmacist's "medicine" is mysterious and unpredictable, capable of defeating the strong with the weak.

Even Cosmic level apothecaries may be able to create potions that can threaten "Immortal God." Although such situations are rare and difficult, they have occurred throughout the history of the universe.

Lin Yan didn't expect it to be that powerful, so that when the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone fought, its toxins could threaten the enemy, making the enemy hesitant, thus weakening the opponent's strength invisibly.

And--

Given the Soul Attack ability of the Green Line Devouring Worm, if it is combined with "Mental Toxin," the two will complement each other, and the resulting effect will be absolutely astonishing.

There's one more chapter, only half written. I'll read it tomorrow morning.
