That drop of emerald-green venom was exceptionally dazzling in the dim room, blooming with an eerie, seductive glow as it landed on Dugu Yao's index finger.
Looking at the drop of Xiangliu's venom on his finger, Dugu Yao immediately began circulating the Nine Nether Poison Scripture, absorbing it and storing it within the Nine Nether Space.
In an instant, a conspicuous drop of emerald-green venom appeared within the previously empty Nine Nether Space at his dantian!
"Pssh~ This drop of venom is actually this potent! I absorbed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, two Immortal Herbs, and forged an Immunity to Water and Fire Body, immune to all poisons!"
"Yet this so-called immunity to water and fire, this resistance to all poisons, feels like nothing more than decoration before this drop of venom!"
"If Xiangliu were not my Martial Soul, then the instant my finger touched this venom, it would have rotted away beyond any cure!"
"The toxicity of this venom is likely far greater than the deadly poisons of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye's freezing spring and scorching spring!"
"The poisons of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot are probably like obedient little brothers before it!"
Feeling the drop of Xiangliu's venom within the Nine Nether Space, Dugu Yao was deeply moved. All he could say was that it truly deserved to be Xiangliu's venom—unmatched beneath the heavens and incomparably toxic!
At the same time, he tried separating a small portion of the medicinal properties of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot within his body, turning them into highly poisonous substances.
He then stored them directly inside the Nine Nether Space to see what changes would occur!
The instant the toxicity of the two Immortal Herbs entered the Nine Nether Space, Xiangliu's venom devoured them completely, leaving them no chance to resist!
Poison fusion?
Heh, that was even more impossible. It simply discarded the dross, took the essence, and swallowed everything clean!
"Terrifying, truly terrifying!" Dugu Yao saw it all with perfect clarity and could not help drawing in a sharp breath, utterly shocked!
"You little fellow, don't let that tiny body fool anyone. Your poison is incredibly powerful—utterly tyrannical!"
"You swallowed up the poisons of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot without leaving a trace. They weren't even qualified to fuse with you!"
"It would not be an exaggeration to call your venom the most poisonous thing in the Douluo World!" Dugu Yao gently stroked Xiangliu with his index finger, and Xiangliu wore an expression of pure enjoyment.
The Fierce God Xiangliu was inherently endowed with deadly poison. It was an innate ability!
No matter what it swallowed, even ordinary dirt, it could turn it into the most poisonous venom in the world!
Though his Martial Soul was not the Fierce God Xiangliu itself, it was still Xiangliu, so it naturally possessed this ability as well.
But he certainly would not let Xiangliu eat until it vomited. Not to mention that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye lacked everything but spirit herbs—especially poisonous herbs. Xiangliu could eat however much it wanted!
"Brother, brother, brother!" Dugu Yan called out. Looking at Dugu Yao beside her, she asked with a puzzled expression, "Brother, why can't I manage to get started with the Nine Nether Toxicity? You've already opened up the Nine Nether Space."
They were both cultivating the Nine Nether Poison Scripture. Just now, she could sense that her brother had already gotten started and successfully opened up the Nine Nether Space. But what about her?
It was truly hard to put into words!
Never mind opening up the Nine Nether Space—she did not even have the slightest clue how to take the first step. She was completely lost!
Hearing this, Dugu Yao smiled and comforted her. "Don't be so anxious. Cultivation isn't something that can be achieved overnight!"
"The reason I was able to open up the Nine Nether Space so quickly is mainly because my Martial Soul is Xiangliu itself. On top of that, I'm also the inheritor of the Fierce God Xiangliu."
"This Mental Cultivation Method is absolutely compatible with me. Don't rush it. Take your time, and when you eventually open up the Nine Nether Space—"
"I'll give you a drop of Xiangliu's venom. Xiangliu's venom is peerless and unique beneath the heavens. When the time comes, try storing it inside your Nine Nether Space!"
After Dugu Yao's reassurance, Dugu Yan nodded and tried once more to begin cultivating. But how could the Fierce God Xiangliu's Mental Cultivation Method be so easy to master?
The reason Dugu Yao was able to get started so quickly and open up the Nine Nether Space was precisely as he had said!
His Martial Soul was Xiangliu, and Xiangliu already possessed the Nine Nether Space within its body. Furthermore, he was the inheritor of the Fierce God Xiangliu.
Cultivating the Nine Nether Poison Scripture naturally gave him far greater results than others with half the effort!
Moreover, Dugu Yao felt that using the Nine Nether Poison Scripture to refine Soul Power was much faster than ordinary Meditation methods. The Nine Nether Poison Scripture could even replace sleep with cultivation.
It could be said that as long as he wished it!
He could spend all twenty-four hours of the day cultivating, aside from mealtimes. This was something ordinary Meditation methods could not accomplish!
The next morning, Dugu Yao, who had devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation, opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. There was not the slightest trace of fatigue on his face!
He was brimming with energy and in high spirits!
"Brother... why haven't I gotten started yet? This Nine Nether Poison Scripture is really hard!" Beside him, Dugu Yan saw that Dugu Yao had finished cultivating and stared at him with panda eyes.
Heaven knew how she had spent the night!
She had clearly cultivated exactly as her brother had instructed, yet her brother had only needed a short while to successfully get started and open up the Nine Nether Space.
No matter how she cultivated, however, even after spending the entire night on it, she still had not gotten started.
Hearing her voice, Dugu Yao turned his head. The first thing he saw was Dugu Yan's huge dark circles and panda eyes. He said in shock, "Little sister, you...!"
The previous night, he had been wholly immersed in cultivation and had no idea that his little sister had spent the entire night without reaching the entry level of the Nine Nether Poison Scripture.
Dugu Yan yawned as she stared at Dugu Yao, looking as though she would fall asleep at any moment.
"Little sister, you cultivated all night and still didn't get started?" Seeing Dugu Yan's current state, Dugu Yao did not know whether to laugh or cry.
She still had not gotten started after an entire night. Was the Nine Nether Poison Scripture really that absurd?
He vaguely remembered that the night before, he had only cultivated for a little while before immediately getting started and opening up a thumb-sized Nine Nether Space.
He had even successfully stored poison inside the Nine Nether Space. Yet as for his little sister, Dugu Yan... it was truly hard to put into words.
"Why else, Brother?" Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Yao resentfully.
She had originally planned to wake him and ask for pointers, but seeing how absorbed Dugu Yao was in his cultivation, she had not disturbed him and instead studied the Nine Nether Poison Scripture by herself.
"Could it be that only I can cultivate this Nine Nether Poison Scripture, while no one else can? If that's true, then what a pity!" Dugu Yao said blankly.
He did not really understand Dugu Yan's situation either. Was it truly that difficult?
Hearing this, Dugu Yan shook her head and said weakly, "Brother, that's not it. Maybe my comprehension is just too poor."
"After cultivating for an entire night, I still haven't entered the Nine Nether Poison Scripture, but I've at least grasped some of its techniques. It may still take some time before I can truly get started."
When would she finally get started? She did not know. This Mental Cultivation Method was simply too difficult. Why could her brother cultivate it so quickly?!
Dugu Yao stroked Dugu Yan's head and comforted her, "Yanyan, don't rush. After all, you're not me. Matters of Mental Cultivation Methods can't be achieved overnight. We'll take it slowly."
"Cultivate bit by bit. Sooner or later, you'll succeed. Let's eat first. Afterward, you can come back and get some rest."
"Perhaps if we're lucky, we might see Mother, Father, and Grandfather this afternoon—or tonight."
Dugu Yan nodded obediently. The two then left the room and came to the Reception Hall, where the servants had already prepared the meal.
The two of them dug in heartily.
