Chapter 270: Mastering the Heavenly Poison Scripture, Dugu Bo's Rapid Strength Boost!

Dugu Bo was exasperated. "You little monster! Are you asking for a beating? Is this what you call a cost?"

Su Ming continued his humble brag, "It's a significant cost, okay? If I were a bit stronger, I could maintain those abilities longer. Once you start cultivating this technique, Senior, and gain control over your poison, your strength might experience a qualitative leap!"

Dugu Bo replied, "Fine, I accept your condition. Compared to this technique, your little request is trivial. You'd better not regret it!"

Su Ming, of course, understood the value of the technique. Originally, he hadn't planned on asking for anything in return. After all, the most expensive things are often those that seem free. But he knew that if he didn't ask for something, Dugu Bo might hesitate. So, he symbolically mentioned a condition, knowing full well that Dugu Bo would be well within his ability to help in the future.

The condition was so minor that it was practically nonexistent. Dugu Bo already owed Su Ming a debt of gratitude, and if Su Ming ever found himself in danger, Dugu Bo would undoubtedly help him anyway.

Without further ado, Su Ming handed the technique to Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo cautiously accepted it, careful not to damage such a precious item.

A short while later, Dugu Bo skimmed through the contents of the Heavenly Poison Scripture, astonishment written all over his face. Could this be a coincidence? It felt like this technique had been crafted specifically for him and Yan Yan!

Once someone begins cultivating the Heavenly Poison Scripture, a poison core will form within their body. This poison core would allow the user to control their poison freely, and the more poison they accumulated, the stronger they would become.

And, in a stroke of fate, Dugu Bo's martial soul had evolved from the Jade Phosphor Serpent to the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, which had already allowed him to nurture a poison core within his body. This core held half of his power!

Once he grasped the basics of the Heavenly Poison Scripture, his strength would skyrocket. He might even break through multiple levels!

Seeing the joy on Dugu Bo's face, Su Ming teased, "So, Senior Dugu Bo, is this technique suitable for you?"

Dugu Bo nodded enthusiastically. "Absolutely! This technique couldn't be more perfect for me! Especially the poison core part—I already have one, so I don't need to cultivate a new one. Now, all I need to do is master the technique to control it!"

Clearly thrilled, Dugu Bo even revealed his poison core without hesitation.

However, Su Ming added, "Then go ahead and try. If you can master the basics, you'll be on your way to detoxifying yourself. It all depends on your talent, but I have faith in you."

Su Ming was eager to see what level of strength Dugu Bo would reach once he fully controlled and enhanced his poison.

Without further words, Dugu Bo sat down cross-legged and began cultivating the Heavenly Poison Scripture. Meanwhile, Su Ming wasn't idle either—he hadn't forgotten that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well contained a precious herb that could enhance his spiritual power.

Wangchuan Qiushuilu! (Looking Through Autumn Water Dew)

This herb had once allowed Tang San to elevate his Purple Demon Eye technique from "Micro" to the "Subtle" realm. However, Su Ming's spiritual power was already far beyond that, though it hadn't reached the "Vast" realm yet. He was curious to see how much his spiritual power would improve after absorbing the herb.

After locating the herb, Su Ming didn't rush to absorb it. Instead, he first refined it within his mental furnace. Such a powerful spiritual herb needed to be fully utilized.

Through a cycle of refining and absorbing, Su Ming's spiritual power steadily grew. After completely absorbing the Wangchuan Qiushuilu, Su Ming felt refreshed, his spiritual power having significantly improved. He believed he would reach the "Vast" realm soon.

As Su Ming concluded his cultivation, he suddenly felt a surge of pressure nearby. He turned to see Dugu Bo's aura rapidly increasing—it seemed he had successfully begun mastering the Heavenly Poison Scripture. At this rate, Dugu Bo might break through soon!

Su Ming had initially planned to craft more talismans, but seeing Dugu Bo's progress, he decided to wait and watch. It wouldn't take too long, after all.

Dugu Bo's rapid progress was surprising. Su Ming had thought it would take days, but it had only been a few hours—impressive!

An hour later, Dugu Bo's aura soared again. Opening his eyes, he laughed heartily, "Hahaha! The poison that's plagued me for years is finally under control! And as a bonus, my cultivation has advanced!"

Dugu Bo's excitement was palpable, his eyes even moist with emotion.

In a flash, Dugu Bo appeared before Su Ming, shaking him with excitement. "Little monster, I owe you so much! Not only can I now fully control my poison, but my soul power has also advanced by three levels—I'm now at rank 95!"

"Stop, stop! Old monster, you're making me dizzy!" Su Ming stepped back, shaking his head to clear it.

Su Ming thought to himself, "That's not bad. Dugu Bo advanced three levels just by mastering the basics of the Heavenly Poison Scripture. If he continues to grasp its deeper secrets, reaching rank 99 as an Ultimate Douluo is only a matter of time. Whether he can go beyond that will depend on his luck."

Unable to resist teasing Dugu Bo, Su Ming said, "Old monster, is this all you're satisfied with? Only rank 95? Your cultivation has been stuck for so long—I thought you'd have advanced further, but you couldn't even reach rank 96. You're still lacking!"

Dugu Bo's celebratory mood was dampened, and his face twitched. "You think advancing as a Title Douluo is easy? I barely managed to reach rank 95 after mastering the Heavenly Poison Scripture. To reach rank 96, I still need to accumulate more soul power."

After cultivating the Heavenly Poison Scripture, Dugu Bo had discovered that the stronger his soul power became, the more potent his poison grew. Earlier, he had used his poison's explosive power to advance, but now that he had fully controlled it, he couldn't use that method to reach rank 96.

Dugu Bo explained this to Su Ming, who found the Heavenly Poison Scripture's effects fascinating. It reminded him of a "Heavenly Calamity Poison Body" he had read about in his previous life, where consuming poison made one stronger.

Dugu Bo's cultivation followed a similar principle—his poison's violent energy allowed him to level up. Su Ming suddenly had an idea: What if he gave Dugu Bo one of the rare herbs from the Yin Yang Well? It might just push him to rank 96!

Immediately, Su Ming began searching for a particularly special herb around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
