Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum

"Sis, I'll still be cultivating my poison arts at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well these next few years. If you feel unwell in any way, come find me anytime."

"Don't worry, Xiaofeng, I won't stand on ceremony. These past few years, because of my martial soul, my meridians have always ached unbearably whenever I cultivated."

"Now, I can truly cultivate as well. Sis, I may not have your Innate Full Soul Power, but I'm still a genius with level-eight Innate Soul Power."

"The next time we meet, Sis will definitely break through to Soul Elder. When that happens, you'd better keep your promise and become a Soul Ancestor."

Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Feng with the loving gaze of an older sister toward her younger brother. Seeing how strong he had become, she was sincerely happy for him.

Dugu Bo did not immediately send Dugu Yan back to Heaven Dou Academy. Instead, he deliberately allowed her and Dugu Feng to spend another day together before

sending her back to Heaven Dou Academy.

Dugu Feng also silently made up his mind to become stronger.

Whether it was Dugu Bo or Dugu Yan, he would protect them both.

Over the following period, he began devoting his time to the Poison Classic.

Tang San could resolve the poison afflicting Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan through the poison arts he had learned from the Tang Clan.

There was no reason the Western Poison's Poison Classic could not do the same.

After all, the Vipers Ouyang Feng raised required only a small cup of venom

to poison more than a thousand sharks to death.

It could even poison an expert like Hong Qigong, nearly costing him his life.

This showed just how profound Ouyang Feng's attainments in the art of poison were.

Unfortunately, Ouyang Feng was wholly focused on martial arts. He believed martial arts were the proper path and was a typical martial arts fanatic.

Time passed like a galloping white steed, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Two years had already passed since Dugu Feng broke through to level twenty-four.

Over those two years, he immersed himself in the Poison Classic until his comprehension of it finally reached 100%.

He had achieved complete mastery of the Poison Classic.

Unfortunately, the Poison Classic was only something akin to an internal cultivation manual. It was knowledge.

As long as knowledge was applied well, it could become a powerful force.

Thus, although he focused his mind on the Poison Classic during those two years, his cultivation had not fallen behind.

He consumed every poison he concocted through the Poison Classic himself, using them to test the power of deadly toxins while also strengthening his cultivation.

Of course, sometimes he gave himself diarrhea that would not stop.

Now, with the enhancement of the Crimson Swan Kiss, the blood flowing through his body was enough to easily poison a Soul Emperor to death.

Even a Soul Saint would be in grave danger if they did not promptly use Soul Power to force it out.

Dugu Feng's Thousand Poison Body had also become immune to more than four hundred kinds of poison.

It had effectively reached the minor mastery stage.

Its poison resistance had greatly improved.

"Grandfather, my Soul Power has now reached level twenty-nine. I want your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Venom to help me break through to level thirty!"

Dugu Bo slowly approached through the valley. Upon hearing Dugu Feng's words, his expression abruptly changed.

"You want my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Venom to help you break through to level thirty?"

Dugu Bo frowned deeply, his tone carrying a trace of gravity.

"My Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Venom will kill anyone below level-seventy Soul Saint upon contact. Even another Titled Douluo would not dare claim they could take my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Venom head-on;

even if you can consume poison to nourish your body, the Poison Force may still crush your meridians."

Dugu Feng's expression was resolute, without the slightest hint of retreat.

"Grandfather, I understand the danger involved."

"But didn't you once say that what a poison master should fear least is poison? If one fears poison, one will eventually be killed by poison. Only by controlling poison with one's body can one walk the true path of a poison master."

"I did say that, but didn't I fail?"

Dugu Bo let out a sigh.

"Grandfather, your grandson never does anything without confidence."

Seeing the determination in Dugu Feng's eyes, Dugu Bo knew he could not talk him out of it.

Everything about this grandson was good. His only flaw was that he was far too stubborn; once he set his mind on something, he would insist on doing it.

"Catch it!"

Dugu Bo circulated the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison within his body.

A wisp of dark green poisonous light, like a slithering snake, slowly gathered at Dugu Bo's fingertip.

Dugu Feng immediately summoned his martial soul and fused with it.

At the same time, he extended his palm and caught the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Venom from Dugu Bo's fingertip.

Dugu Bo did not dare give him too much, offering only a single wisp. Yet even that wisp was enough to instantly poison a peak Soul Emperor to death.

The Emperor Venom entered his body, and monstrous waves instantly surged within Dugu Feng!

The violent, tyrannical Emperor Venom scattered through his meridians, crashing wildly in every direction. Its corrosive power frantically gnawed at his flesh, blood vessels, and meridians.

Even with the poison resistance he had cultivated over a long period, he still felt excruciating pain spreading throughout his body.

Dugu Feng circulated his martial soul and activated Toad Style. Toad Style was cultivated by tempering one's meridians with poison.

Not only did he intend to refine this Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Venom, he also wanted to seize this opportunity to bring his Toad Style to the next level.

"So strong. As expected of Grandfather's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Venom—the undisputed number one poison in the world."

Dugu Feng's heart tightened, and he did not dare let down his guard in the slightest.

[Ding! Contact with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's origin poison]

[Poison resistance +10]

[Poison resistance +10]

[Thousand Poison Body progress +1]

Listening to the notifications in his mind, Dugu Feng knew that the Crimson Swan Kiss within his body was taking effect.

He had not told Dugu Bo that his blood could amplify ordinary poisons tenfold.

Thus, although Dugu Bo had only given him a wisp of Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor venom, under the enhancement of the Crimson Swan Kiss,

the venom's power would surge tremendously.

Dugu Feng gritted his teeth. As his poison resistance experience steadily increased,

he gradually adapted to the flesh-devouring pain caused by the venom. At the same time, the Toxic Toad martial soul slowly began transforming that venom into Soul Power.

This was a contest of endurance. Whoever held out would win.

If Dugu Feng could not endure it, the venom would begin destroying his nerves.

Then it would invade his eight extraordinary meridians.

But if he could withstand it, he would undergo a true transformation.

Dugu Feng recalled the Pill Venom Art described in the Poison Classic.

However, the pill venom method was far too dangerous. No one had ever attempted it; it existed only as a concept.

The so-called Pill Venom Art condensed poison within the dantian.

But this method was too dangerous. Once the dantian was struck, the poison within it would lose control. At that point, before it could harm another, it would certainly kill its user first.

It was undoubtedly like placing a ticking bomb inside one's own body, which was why the Pill Venom Art was regarded as a theoretical cultivation method.

It was described in the Poison Classic, but no one dared put it into practice.

Moreover, the Pill Venom Art could not be cultivated overnight. It required prolonged accumulation and enormous effort.

In an ordinary martial arts world, anyone who cultivated this pill venom method would undoubtedly be seeking death. Fortunately, although Douluo was called the bottom tier of fantasy worlds,

it was still a fantasy world after all.

It possessed heavenly treasures.

Dugu Feng had already consumed an Immortal Herb before.

It was called the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

It circulated qi through the limbs and opened the eight meridians.

It could strengthen the body from within.

He intended to use the medicinal power of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, together with Toad Style,

to test this pill venom method. If it succeeded, not only could it resolve Dugu Bo's worries over the serpent venom, it could also elevate his poison arts to another level.

Dugu Feng circulated Toad Style and crouched on the ground like a toad, completely merging with his Toxic Toad martial soul.

Waves of black mist continuously seeped from his body.

He looked utterly eerie.
