196: Poisonous Forest Valley, inheritance of the throne?
Tiandou City, Dugu Bo's family.hall.
Lu Buliang and Dugu Bo sat at the table drinking tea and chatting.
The two hadn't seen each other for several months.
Unexpectedly, as soon as we met, changes in both of us, big or small, had occurred.
Lu Buliang told Dugu Bo about his evil spirit and the shadow mask attached to his soul bone, but concealed the fact that his Tiger Soul and Qian Renxue helped him hunt down the Shadow Lord.
Dugu Bo also concealed the fact of why he looked younger. Even though Lu Buliang was already his grandson-in-law, he still kept it in mind.
To the outside world, Dugu Bo would say that during his travels, he discovered a treasure trove in a mysterious area that was no less valuable than the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. The place had a name, called: Poison Forest Valley.
Just as the name suggests.
The Poison Forest Valley is a terrain composed of forests and valleys, a place full of poisonous gas.
Since there is a treasure land like the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire on the continent, there must be many strange and peculiar places.
Those places are basically naturally formed areas. It is said that the appearance of the simulated training grounds was built by some ancestors in imitation of the naturally formed environment.
According to Dugu Bo, the Poison Forest Valley is a place full of poisonous gas and contains extremely rich poisonous elements, as if the forest valley has been blessed by the Poison God.
No matter whether it is ordinary animals or plants, soul beasts, or stones in the valley, every object there is extremely toxic, as if the air there is a toxin producer.
If a soul beast or soul master without poison attribute can survive in the Poison Forest Valley, it is very likely that the soul beast itself or the soul master's martial soul will develop poison attribute.
Judging from Dugu Bo's concentration when describing the Poison Forest Valley, Lu Buliang felt that Dugu Bo was neither lying nor exaggerating. Just think about it, how was the first martial spirit with poison attribute born in the history of the continent?
If a soul master without a martial soul with poisonous attributes lives in a poisonous forest for a long time without dying, then not only will the soul master gain a poison-resistant physique, but the poisonous elements that invade the body may coexist with the soul power and martial soul, thus making both the martial soul and soul power have poisonous attributes.
As long as the soul master is strong enough, the martial soul will have infinite possibilities. Lu Buliang thought to himself that Darwin's saying "survival of the fittest" is completely applicable to martial souls.
The person who proved Lu Buliang's conjecture was Yu Xiaogang. If Yu Xiaogang himself was strong enough and his qualifications could adapt to the power contained in Luo Sanpao's martial soul, then Luo Sanpao would not be a useless martial soul with malignant mutation, but a golden holy dragon that is more powerful than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul.
Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang is a waste and cannot withstand the power of Luo Sanpao's martial spirit.
A soul master who can adapt to the mutation of martial souls can make martial souls undergo benign mutations, thus giving birth to new martial souls, and vice versa. This is the "survival of the fittest" of martial souls.
After listening to Dugu Bo's story about his experiences traveling around the continent, Lu Buliang couldn't help but sigh that Dugu Bo was really a treasure finder. First he found the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, and now he found such a unique place as the Poison Forest Valley.
According to Dugu Bo, the training of Poison Soul Master Poison Forest Valley will bring unexpected benefits. The changes in his body are as if he was nourished by rich poison elements, causing the Golden Scaled Green Snake King Martial Soul to shed its skin like a snake. In the end, he himself was also affected and shed his old skin, so he looked younger.
Lu Buliang believed Dugu Bo's explanation at first, until Dugu Bo suddenly asked if there was any way to change the inner elixir.
"Senior, do you want to learn alchemy?" Lu Buliang was curious. "Why? Is it that refining poison pills is not enough for you now? Do you want to learn about herbs and study how to refine pills like me?"
"No. What I'm asking is, if I want to upgrade my Jade Phosphorus Snake King Inner Core, what should I do?" Dugu Bo said seriously, "Boy, you know more than me. If you have any ideas, tell me quickly. I will repay you."
"Upgrade the inner elixir of the Green Phosphorus Snake King?" Lu Buliang took a sip of tea and said thoughtfully, "Your inner elixir was produced when the Green Phosphorus Snake evolved into the Snake King. Taking the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd Pill only gave your martial soul more earth dragon blood, which strictly speaking is not a real evolution. So your martial soul is the Golden Phosphorus Green Snake King, but your inner elixir should still be the Green Phosphorus Snake King's inner elixir."
"Not bad." Seeing that Lü Buliang was talking so logically, Dugu Bo showed a happy expression, "So? Do you have a way to upgrade my inner elixir once more?"
Lu Buliang did not rush to answer this question. He looked at Dugu Bo's eyes puzzledly. He was observing because Dugu Bo was afraid of trouble and would not do something for no reason. Since he did it, it proved that he had thought it over carefully.
Why did Dugu Bo suddenly become obsessed with upgrading the inner elixir of the Jade Phosphorus Snake King?
If he wanted to improve his strength, he could just ask how to improve his soul power. The inner elixir was only a carrier for preserving the original energy and was not very useful for cultivation.
Dugu Bo's purpose was to upgrade the inner elixir of the Green Phosphorus Snake Emperor. He had obviously discovered some secret of the inner elixir. Or, did he have a mission that required upgrading the inner elixir of his martial soul to complete?
Since the shadow mask bone was completely integrated with his body, Lv Buliang's brain was like adding a hard drive, and both his spiritual world and the breadth of his thinking were raised to a very high level.
Dugu Bo just said that the Poison Forest Valley is like a treasure land formed by the grace of the Poison God, and then asked about the method of upgrading the inner elixir.
Thinking of all this, coupled with his understanding of the setting of the original work, Lu Buliang thought of a very absurd but possible event. Dugu Bo entered the Poison Forest Valley while traveling. Could it be that he accidentally obtained the inheritance related to the Poison God?
Poison God?
If according to the setting of the original work, the God of the Sea and the God of Fire are first-level gods, then the God of Poison is also very likely to be a first-level god.
With Dugu Bo's talent and age, even if he has taken the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, his qualifications are at most the same as the Shrek Seven Devils in the original novel, and he can only inherit the second-level godhood. If Dugu Yan gets some kind of opportunity to grow, he may be qualified to inherit the position of the Poison God.
Lu Buliang thought to himself that Ma Hongjun and Dugu Bo in the original novel were somewhat similar. They were both affected by the elemental attributes of their martial souls, and in the end they both took magic herbs to change their martial souls and gained truly powerful talents.
If Ma Hongjun in the original novel failed to inherit the throne of the God of Fire, then Dugu Bo should not be qualified to inherit the throne of the God of Poison.
In the original novel, Ma Hongjun eventually inherited the second-level god and became the God of Phoenix.
If Dugu Bo really inherited the throne of God, maybe he inherited the God of Snakes, who is also a second-level God?
Thinking of this, Lu Buliang thought of another question. Upgrading the inner elixir of the Green Phosphorus Snake King might be part of the test for God?
"Boy, why are you staring at me?" Dugu Bo said half-jokingly, "Let me tell you, I'm not interested in men!"
Lu Buliang smiled, "Me too."
"Don't keep me in suspense." Dugu Bo was a little anxious: "If you know of any way, tell me quickly."
"I really have a way." Lu Buliang looked into Dugu Bo's eyes and said tentatively, "It's very simple to upgrade your Green Phosphorus Snake King's inner elixir. Didn't your inner elixir evolve from the Green Phosphorus Snake to the Snake King? By the same token, if you let your Golden Phosphorus Green Snake King evolve into the Golden Phosphorus Green Snake God, then wouldn't the inner elixir evolve into a divine elixir?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Hearing this, Dugu Bo wanted to suppress the shock in his heart, but his subconscious reaction still showed in his eyes.
Lu Buliang saw the horror and disbelief hidden in Dugu Bo's blue eyes.
When the word "God" was mentioned, Dugu Bo obviously had a great reaction. This old guy actually gained God's favor earlier than himself.
Ever since he merged with the evil god's bloodline, the evil god's assessment has never been started. Lu Buliang doesn't know if it's because his qualifications are not enough, or for other reasons. Maybe with his current qualifications, low-level gods dare not pursue him, and high-level gods are hesitant, so there is no situation where the throne descends upon him.
Dugu Bo said solemnly, "Boy, do you know the existence of God?"
"I've heard of it." Lu Buliang decided to make up a story. "I once sneaked into the library of the Wuhun Temple's sub-hall to absorb all kinds of knowledge. There is an ancient book in it that records the legend of God. It is said that the martial soul has unlimited potential for evolution. Have you forgotten? The six-winged angel martial soul of the former Pope Qian Xunji is a god-level martial soul. That ancient book records two theories about why the six-winged angel martial soul is a god-level martial soul. One theory is that it is a martial soul bestowed by God, and the other theory is that it is a top-level martial soul that continuously cultivates and evolves, and eventually becomes a god-level martial soul."
"I have also heard about the origin of the six-winged angel spirit. The Spirit Hall believes in the Angel God, and perhaps it is the grace bestowed by the Angel God on their thousands of families." Dugu Bo quickly calmed down his shock. He thought that Lu Buliang had already seen that he had inherited the assessment of the Green Phosphorus Serpent God in the Poison Forest Valley, so he deliberately tested him. He didn't expect that the knowledge was read from the books of the Spirit Hall.
Dugu Bo did not want to tell anyone, including his granddaughter, that he was completing the assessment for the divine position. He absolutely did not want anyone to know before something was done.
"Senior, if you want the Golden Scaled Green Snake King to evolve into a god-level martial spirit, you must devour a soul beast or soul master with the blood of a god. Otherwise, you can only become a god by practicing to level 100."
Lu Buliang said: "However, if you just want to upgrade the Green Phosphorus Snake King's Inner Core, I have another way."
"What method?" Dugu Bo was as surprised as before when he heard that there was a solution to the backlash of snake venom. His surprise was fully revealed on his face.
Lu Buliang raised his hands, and the ice and fire soul cores in his dantian collided, condensing an energy body similar to a Rubik's Cube on each of his palms.
One red and one blue.
Seeing the red and blue cubes floating and spinning in Lü Buliang's palm, Dugu Bo suddenly realized, "Is this your ice and fire energy?"
"That's right." Lu Buliang said truthfully: "Now I have condensed my ice and fire energy together with my soul power into a dual soul core."
"Soul core?" Dugu Bo was confused, "What is that?"
"To put it simply, a soul core is a form that can make soul power stronger. You can imagine what changes will happen when the gaseous soul power becomes solid."
Dugu Bo suddenly realized, "You want me to condense the soul core to upgrade the inner elixir?"
Lu Buliang nodded, "In fact, a soul core has already been formed in your body. The first soul core is usually formed when a soul master enters the Titled Douluo. Don't you realize that you don't even need to open your martial soul, you can release materialized energy attacks comparable to soul skills with just soul power. Moreover, after becoming a Titled Douluo, the recovery effect of soul power has been greatly improved."
