Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 68 The Poisonous Attribute of Blue Silver Grass

"You must have seen Dugu Yan a few days ago, right?"

Han Tao nodded; this was no secret.

Ning Fengzhi did not make things difficult for Han Tao, as it was not a big deal in itself.

He continued:
"The poison barrier formed by the phosphorus toxin can corrode martial spirit, soul power, and body, but it will not corrode the same phosphorus toxin barrier."

That's nonsense, there's nothing to explain.

"Some of the soul skills in the soul rings can generate pure Azure Phosphorus Poison Barrier."

"The poison barrier generated by one's own soul skill will not corrode the soul master's body."

It is obvious that soul skills will not harm the soul master's physical body.

Otherwise, poison-attribute soul masters shouldn't bother playing; they'll get poisoned and killed before they can even attack the enemy.

Someone like Dugu Bo, who can poison himself to the point of affecting his internal organs, can be considered a semi-genius.

Then, Ning Fengzhi revealed his purpose.

"You can choose one of the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus Soul Rings to obtain a Poison Barrier-type Soul Skill."

"Use this soul skill to cross the poison barrier and reach the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."

Upon hearing this, Han Tao's thoughts raced.

Ning Fengzhi's face showed no trace of sadness.

The master had been learning the art of "not showing joy or anger on one's face," but he was never quite proficient, and all his emotions were written all over his face.

He is the same as Ning Rongrong in this respect.

Han Tao could reasonably conclude that Ning Rongrong was probably alright.

"But how can I be sure that the soul skill I acquire is a poison barrier?"

The idea that subjective factors can influence the generation of Soul Skills is a false proposition.

To this day, Han Tao has been unable to prove this theory.

Even though his first and third spirit rings were spirit skills generated subjectively.

But what if it's just a probability?

If you treat a series of low-probability events as gospel truth, you will suffer greatly in the future.

"I suppose you've noticed that both the Nine Heart Begonia and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda are fixed soul skills when you acquire them."

"Blue Silver Grass, as one of the puzzle pieces, also has its own sequential soul skill."

Ning Fengzhi presented a decent gift.

He took out a book from the right side of his robe, titled "Special Martial Soul Inheritance Soul Skills".

"The first soul skill, blue silver entanglement."

"Second Soul Skill, Blue Silver Parasite."

Han Tao looked at the book, his heart filled with profound silence.

Tang San's first two soul skills were actually the standard answer for inheriting martial souls.

However, starting with the third spirit ring, the situation changed.

"I suppose the master must have read this book."

The Spirit Hall's information is open to Grandmasters, so it's not surprising that Yu Xiaogang could see this book.

Han Tao turned to the fourth page, which contained the corresponding soul skills and how to obtain them.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blue Silver Poison Barrier."

"Blue Silver Soul Power constructs a special poison barrier to kill enemies."

The poison of the poison barrier is related to the soul beasts hunted. To obtain the poison barrier containing the Azure Phosphorus Toxin, one can only choose from the Azure Phosphorus Flower, the Three-Colored Azure Phosphorus Flower, the Azure Phosphorus Serpent, and the Azure Phosphorus Serpent King.

The number of years should be controlled within the range of 3100-3600.

Based on Blue Silver King's growth base, this timeframe is about reasonable.

Han Tao flipped through a few more pages, then closed the book.

"Toxic circuitry."

"The wrong route, but it's systematic."

The author of this book failed to grasp the "adaptive" nature of the Blue Silver Grass.

However, the effect of adaptation still exists.

Adaptation doesn't stop working just because you don't know it or understand it.

A spirit ring is the condensation of a spirit beast's cultivation throughout its life. When a spirit master absorbs a spirit ring, it is equivalent to absorbing the spirit beast's essence.

After repeatedly absorbing spirit rings containing toxins, the Blue Silver Grass will naturally evolve in the direction of the toxins.

It's putting the cart before the horse, but it has its merits.

Because if one cultivates according to the content of this book...
Its martial spirit evolution, combat ability, and panel stats are all flawless, so Han Tao commented that it is systematic.

When cultivated to its peak, it will approach the strength of the Seven Absolute Jade Phosphorous Flower and the Extraordinary Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum.

However, it's impossible for it to surpass the Immortal Herb, much less become the King of Immortal Herbs. "It's a good reference, though."

Han Tao nodded, without putting the book down.

The toxic pathway is one of the growth directions that Blue Silver Grass adapts to.

Perhaps when conducting targeted cultivation, one can refer to this book to cultivate a king of poisons.

"how?"

Seeing Han Tao close the book with a satisfied expression, Ning Fengzhi asked curiously.

"A very good idea."

"Poison attribute, as the core of Blue Silver Grass, forms the basis of its growth system."

"Unfortunately, my first, second, and third spirit rings are not of the poison attribute, so I may not be able to pursue this path."

With a look of regret, Han Tao still declined Ning Fengzhi's suggestion.

"Then there's nothing I can do to help you."

Ning Fengzhi spread his hands, somewhat helplessly.

"Here's a good idea. You can withdraw some money from the sect to use for your research."

Han Tao's eyes lit up.

That's a great suggestion!
That's awesome! With money, you can have everything.

"can!"

Han Tao suddenly stood up, his face gleaming.

However, Ning Fengzhi hesitated at this moment.

"Let's make this clear first, you can't use the money to buy whale gel, or to get memberships at foot massage parlors or hotel VIPs."

"Or something else, something with an entertainment aspect."

Ning Fengzhi felt a lingering fear.

Some time ago, he approved a research grant for Mr. Wolong. Guess where he spent the money?

The entire donation went to troubled girls.

"Okay!" Han Tao quickly agreed.

The small dark room can only be used to imprison those sect disciples who have no power or influence.

The temple elder can bring Ning Tian out, and the Sword Bone Douluo will bring Ning Rongrong out.

Similarly, the sect leader could also bring Han Tao out.

Han Tao was brought up for any reason.

Ordinary disciples of sects are simply not qualified to participate in the assessment for supplementary study books.

The only one who was truly trapped was Yukikaze, the unlucky fellow.

Therefore, Yukikaze's performance is satisfactory, and he must continue to strive for it.

How can one infiltrate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School by spending all day in a small, dark room and still accomplish their plan?
After Han Tao emerged, he didn't pay attention to Ning Tian and Xue Feng, but instead embarked on his own new path of evolution.

Targeted training.

Perceptual adaptation.

Convergent evolution.

Han Tao first withdrew a large sum of money from his master.

Then they designated a piece of land behind the sect's mountain as a cultivation base for Blue Silver Grass.

Purchase thirty-seven century-old Blue Silver Grass plants to begin your own targeted cultivation plan.

"There are still too few 100-year-old blue silver grass plants on the market."

It's not that Blue Silver Grass is scarce, but rather that nobody catches it.

It has no medical value, no medicinal value, and no value as a spirit ring.

Nobody even considered cultivating such a nonsensical thing as Blue Silver Grass.

Han Tao divided these century-old Blue Silver Grasses into two areas and applied different evolutionary strategies to them.

"The cultivation goals are divided into two directions."

"One is the Seven Deadly Poisons: the Azure Phosphorus Flower, a representative of extreme poison."

"One is a fragrant and exquisite celestial product, a nemesis of all poisons."

Cultivating Blue Silver Grass into a divine herb is simply wishful thinking.

Without a specific growing environment and a specific natural magnetic field, it is simply impossible for a miraculous herb to be born.

But at least Han Tao is working in that direction.

What does "targeted training" mean?
Toughness and hardness are unimportant attributes; they are traits that can be sacrificed.

All that's needed is poison, either to create a deadly poison or to counteract a deadly poison.
