Online Game: Me, with Unparalleled Comprehension

He scrolled down further, and another post caught his attention:

[A painful lesson! The elite team of the War God Temple Guild was completely wiped out in Wanjie Valley! The terrifying power of the Manggu Zhuha is astounding; its poisonous mist instantly kills, and masks are ineffective! Attached is a black and white resurrection point.]

The Temple of War is a fairly well-known medium-sized guild; Wu Feng had seen it several times on the leaderboards and forums.

Upon clicking through, the poster appeared to be a member of the guild, and their tone was somber.

The post detailed how the guild organized an elite team of thirty people, all at the peak of the third tier, equipped with various antidotes and simple gas masks available on the market, to venture deep into Wanjie Valley in an attempt to capture the legendary Manggu Zhuha.

As a result, not long after entering the poisonous miasma area of ​​the valley, they encountered the legendary poisonous creature.

"That thing was too fast, we couldn't even see it, it was like a red shadow jumping around," the poster wrote. "It let out a bellow, a bit like a cow mooing, but sharper. Then... then a huge cloud of green poisonous mist sprayed out, instantly engulfing most of us. Gas masks? Useless! The poison status stacked up instantly, our health bars plummeted like an avalanche, three seconds, at most three seconds, and we were all dead. When we respawned, our levels had dropped to zero, and our martial arts proficiency had collectively regressed by one level... This operation was a huge loss for the guild."

Below is a screenshot showing the densely packed gray-named characters with the "Temple of War" prefix at the respawn point, all looking dejected.

The replies below were filled with sighs and warnings:

"A level 60 Poison King... Isn't it suicide to provoke him at this stage?"

"Poison resistance? Without high poison resistance, going there is just suicide. If your internal energy cultivation isn't deep enough, you probably won't be able to withstand it either."

"Thanks to the big boss for paving the way with his life, it saved us so much trouble."

"This thing is definitely not something we can touch at this stage. Let's call it a day."

Wu Feng looked at the post and pursed his lips.

Sure enough, if the Manggu Toad were so easy to catch, it would have been taken by those incredibly lucky or powerful players long ago, and he wouldn't even have a chance to covet it.

A level 60 Poison King is enough to cause trouble just by being outnumbered, not to mention his deadly poison that can kill on sight.

He closed the post, his finger hovering over the screen for a moment.

poison……

That is a problem.

If you really want to get your hands on the Manggu Toad, or go to a dangerous place like Wanjie Valley where poisonous creatures roam, without sufficient poison resistance, going there will just be a waste of your life.

The "Harmony with the World" internal energy technique, while maintaining balance and harmony, might enhance physical resistance to some extent. However, it's unlikely to be effective against a boss specializing in deadly poisons.

In the world of martial arts, there are quite a few sects and masters who use poison.

Ouyang Feng's titles include Western Poison, Five Poisons Sect, Blue Phoenix, and Azi... He is a formidable figure in the martial arts world, known for his use of poisons and Gu.

"Poisonous skills..." Wu Feng murmured, typing "Dali" into the search bar.

The refreshed results were numerous, mostly consisting of unsubstantiated discussions or boastful posts.

He browsed through the posts and clicked on one that wasn't very popular but seemed to have some substantial content.

The poster's ID is Miaojiang Sanren, and he seems to be a player who likes to explore different lifestyles.

The post details how he discovered an NPC teaching Gu breeding and basic poison skills in a remote Miao village in southern Dali.

"The learning conditions are very demanding," the original poster wrote. "First, you have to do a series of tedious and dangerous tasks in the village to gain the trust of the locals."

Then you need to spend a lot of money to buy the qualification to study.

Most importantly, practicing poisonous arts is inherently risky; a slight misstep can backfire, with poisoning and injury being the least of one's worries.

However, once mastered, it not only grants access to unique poison-attribute attack methods, but also provides a substantial increase in poison resistance.

The post also included a blurry screenshot of an interactive icon above the head of a Miao NPC, as well as a gloomy-looking bamboo house filled with various bottles and jars.

Wu Feng looked at the description in the post, and then at the Miao village scenery that was vaguely visible in the screenshot, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

This approach seems feasible.

The poison technique may not be of a high grade, but its special effect—increasing poison resistance—is exactly what he needs right now.

Moreover, learning more martial arts skills can accumulate more attributes, which is always good.

More importantly, using poison techniques against enemies can effectively conceal his Wudang background and avoid unnecessary trouble.

"I can go and see this Miao village tomorrow," he decided.

Just then, a waiter came over with a tray, interrupting his thoughts.

"Your sweet and sour fish, salted fish and eggplant casserole, pan-fried pork belly, salt and pepper shrimp, sea cucumber and winter melon soup. Rice." One steaming dish after another was placed on the table, and the aroma immediately filled the air.

The sweet and sour fish is bright red and evenly thickened with cornstarch, while the salted fish and eggplant casserole is bubbling with oil and has a savory aroma.

The pork belly was pan-fried until golden brown, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat; the salt and pepper shrimp were fried until crispy and garnished with bright green scallions; the winter melon soup was clear and bright, with plenty of sea cucumbers in the broth.

Wu Feng immediately put away his phone and picked up his chopsticks.

I picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish first. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the sweet and sour sauce just right, very appetizing.

Salted fish and eggplant casserole, served with rice, is savory and delicious, with a soft and fluffy texture.

The pork belly is fatty but not greasy, with a wonderfully caramelized aroma. The salt and pepper shrimp doesn't need peeling; just pop it in your mouth for a crispy, savory flavor.

Take another sip of the light winter melon soup to soothe your throat, which has been overwhelmed by the strong flavors.

He ate with great focus, and soon, he devoured all four dishes, one soup, and two large bowls of rice in a flash.

The feeling of fullness dispelled the weakness brought on by hunger and brought a satisfied weariness.

I paid the bill and got up. Stepping out of the restaurant, the cool night breeze brushed against my face, carrying the lingering smell of the food and the hustle and bustle of the city.

He slowly walked back, letting the food digest in his stomach.

Back at my place, I quickly took a hot shower.

After changing into clean, soft pajamas, I felt completely relaxed.

Without much delay, he lay back down in the gaming pod.

After the soft click of the hatch closing, I was plunged into familiar darkness, my consciousness rapidly sinking and being stripped of reality.

In the game world, in a guest room on the third floor of Yuelai Building.

The scene before me went from blurry to clear. It was still that simply furnished room, the oil lamp was not lit, and only a little moonlight shone through the window, outlining the window frame on the ground.

Wu Feng sat cross-legged directly on the hard bed, without even getting up to light a lamp. The darkness had no effect on his internal energy circulation.

Close your eyes, and your mind will instantly sink into your dantian.

The essence of "Harmony with the World" began to flow naturally, like breathing.

The cultivation technique at its perfected state operates smoothly and without hindrance. Almost with a thought, the vortex of energy, as serene as jade and subtly resonating with the surrounding darkness and silence, begins to move steadily along its profound and complex path.

A sense of coolness, tranquility, and harmony with all things arose from the dantian and quickly spread to every part of the body.

The mind is as calm as still water, yet the senses are exceptionally clear.

You can faintly hear the whispers of the players downstairs who haven't rested yet, and you can feel the night wind blowing through the eaves of the inn.

He could even vaguely sense the faint, almost imperceptible, connection between his own true energy circulating through his body and the room, and between it and the night sky over Dali outside the window.

Each time true qi completes a full cycle, it grows stronger and more solid.

That feeling of subtle affinity with the primordial energy of heaven and earth seemed to deepen as well.

At the edge of my field of vision, pale gold notification text steadily appeared:

[Harmony with the World Proficiency +210]

Even without the double bonus from the Wudang Bamboo Forest Open Space, the efficiency of gaining 210 proficiency points per cycle with a high 350 points of enlightenment is already quite high.

He was free of distractions and completely immersed in a state of cultivation where he was one with the world and lived in harmony with everything around him.

The concept of time becomes blurred; there is only the feeling of fullness as true qi flows continuously through the meridians, and the tangible feeling of steadily accumulating proficiency bit by bit.

Outside the window, the lights of the border city of Dali gradually thinned out, and all was quiet.

Only the occasional chirping of unknown insects in the distance broke the stillness of the night.

The internal energy, like a trickle flowing into a deep pool, quietly increases with each cycle, becoming increasingly pure and clear in quality.

The vortex of jade-like light slowly rotated in the dantian, calm yet containing an ever-growing power.
