"A thousand kinds of deadly poisons in one year? Is that even a human being can accomplish?"
Dugu Bo looked at the content of his first exam and his face turned green.
He has spent his entire life dealing with poisons, and he believes he has seen at least eighty or a hundred extremely potent poisons, but that was accumulated over decades.
Now, asking him to find a thousand kinds of deadly poisons to refine within a year is practically asking him to die.
"My lord, are you playing a trick on me?" He looked at Ning Liu below the altar with a face full of grief and indignation. "This divine test is too abnormal!"
Ning Liu shrugged, looking completely innocent:
"This has nothing to do with me. The content of the divine examination is determined by God. I am just an 'intermediary'."
"Besides, you're now a level 99 Peerless Douluo, and you even have a trace of divine power within you. Refining deadly poison is as easy for you as eating and drinking."
"Simple my ass!"
Dugu Bo was so angry he jumped up and down.
"My lord, where on the continent can I find so many readily available deadly poisons? Even if I did, the most potent ones are all found in some perilous and dangerous place."
"In a year, I couldn't even keep up with all the running around!"
"Who told you to find it yourself?" Ning Liu gave him a look that said, "You're too naive."
"If I don't find it myself, do you think you can conjure it up for me?" Dugu Bo said irritably.
Ning Liu smiled mysteriously and pointed to himself: "I can't transform myself. But I can 'create' one for you."
"Create?" Dugu Bo was taken aback.
Ning Liu said slowly and deliberately:
"Old poisoner, have you forgotten what I do now?"
"I am the Sect Master of Liuli Heaven, and the Grand Marshal of the Federation. I control the resources of the entire continent!"
"I only need to issue an order to have all the Soul Masters on the continent collect all kinds of poisonous herbs, insects, and ores for me. Do you think I can gather a thousand different poisons for you within a month?"
Dugu Bo's eyes widened instantly, becoming as big as copper bells.
He stared blankly at Ning Liu, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a single word.
yes!
How could he have forgotten about that!
He's no longer the reclusive, solitary old poisoner he used to be!
Behind him stood Ning Liu, and the entire Douluo Federation!
With Ning Liu's current power and influence, let alone a thousand kinds of poisons, even ten thousand kinds would not be difficult for him, as long as he was willing to spend money and time!
"Holy crap!"
Dugu Bo understood this point and was so excited that he trembled all over.
He felt that his previous way of thinking was completely limited.
In the past, he relied on his own exploration to cultivate, painstakingly searching for resources all over the world.
Now, he only needs to sit at home, and someone will pack up all the cultivation resources in the world and deliver them to him!
This feeling is just... amazing!
"How about it?"
Ning Liu looked at him with a smile, "Do you still find it difficult now?"
"It's not difficult anymore! It's not difficult at all!"
Dugu Bo rubbed his hands together, grinning from ear to ear. His old face, which had just regained some color, began to glow with excited green light again.
"My Lord, you are truly my second parents!"
He is now completely convinced and utterly devoted to Ning Liu.
This isn't just a thigh, it's practically Optimus Prime with wings!
"Alright, stop flattering me."
Ning Liu waved his hand.
"Come down first and familiarize yourself with your suddenly increased power. Don't accidentally poison all the treasures in your herb garden."
"Hehe, okay!"
Dugu Bo leaped down from the altar and landed steadily on the ground.
He felt the surging, ocean-like power within him, and felt that he could now defeat ten of his former selves.
He clenched his fist, a wisp of emerald green soul power swirling around his fingertips, and the surrounding air emitted a sizzling, corrosive sound.
"Is this the soul power imbued with the inheritance of the gods? It is indeed domineering!"
He clicked his tongue in amazement.
Ning Liu shook her head at his naive and unsophisticated appearance, but in her mind she was already planning her next move.
Dugu Bo's success is just the beginning.
He has a lot of talented people waiting for him to "promote".
"Yang Wudi, Bai He, Niu Gao..."
Names flashed through his mind.
These people are his core team; the stronger they are, the more stable his foundation will be.
"It seems I'll have to start a 'speed-up to godhood' class for the next while."
Ning Liu stroked his chin and muttered to himself.
He sent Dugu Bo away to consolidate his cultivation, while he himself put away the altar of faith and returned to the council hall.
He still has seven god-level forging hammers he hasn't used.
This is a truly deadly weapon; it must be used wisely.
"The first upgrade was the 'production tool,' which brought tremendous strategic value."
"Then the remaining two should be used to enhance 'combat power'."
Ning Liu sat in the chair, lost in thought.
His first thought was of his Asura Demon Sword.
"What would happen to the Asura Demon Sword if it were struck with the God's Hammer?"
His heart was filled with anticipation.
Besides the Asura Demon Sword, he also possessed several powerful rewards obtained from the system.
For example, the million-year-old soul bone, "Nine Nether Dragon Wings".
If we upgrade it, will it evolve into a true "Dragon Wings"?
Every choice is full of infinite possibilities.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth."
Ning-Liu ultimately decided to strengthen his Asura Demon Sword first.
