The contents recorded on the human skin scroll were not beyond Mo Fan’s expectations, it was indeed the *Ten Thousand Poisons Body*!
The details weren’t overly complex, mainly consisting of steps for medicinal baths and specifics on heat control.
The most critical part was the collection of various poisons, totaling around a hundred types.
Over half of these were natural poisons, those inherently existing in the world, which were relatively easy to gather.
Another large portion were biological poisons, toxins extracted from various poisonous creatures.
The final five poisons, however, had to be demon poisons!
These five were the legendary Five Poisons!
Reading this, Mo Fan finally understood why the scorpion demon had risked offending Venom Fang to save him.
Firstly, it might be due to the rivalry between the Third General, Shan Feng, and Venom Fang. Secondly, it was because Mo Fan, as a demon transformed from one of the Five Poisons, perfectly matched the criteria for these demon poisons.
As Mo Fan delved deeper, his brows gradually furrowed, for the cultivation of the *Ten Thousand Poisons Body* was exceedingly troublesome.
The *Ten Thousand Poisons Body* was divided into nine stages, requiring nine medicinal baths to fully achieve the *Ten Thousand Poisons Spiritual Body*, an extremely powerful special physique.
The *Ten Thousand Poisons Spiritual Body* granted immunity to all poisons in the world!
Moreover, once fully cultivated, anything from the body could become a poison, an incurable one to anyone but the poisoner!
At this, Mo Fan’s eyes suddenly lit up. That final statement was overwhelmingly domineering, an incurable poison!
“If I cultivate this spiritual body, wouldn’t I dominate the world with poison?
Could I even rely on it to kill Demon Kings or even Demon Ancestors?”
Mo Fan’s heart surged with excitement, but looking at the densely listed poison materials, he frowned again.
“Wait, when I killed the scorpion demon, I got a bunch of bottles and jars from its pouch. There might be some of those materials in there!”
With a stir in his heart, Mo Fan spat out numerous bottles and jars, each labelled with human characters.
Previously, being illiterate, he couldn’t recognise them, but now it was clear, they were indeed poisons!
After sorting through them, Mo Fan found many poisons, covering more than half of what he needed, though mostly common natural poisons.
He suspected the scorpion demon hadn’t failed to collect the others but had used them for prior medicinal baths.
In other words, the scorpion demon had likely undergone several baths, though to what extent, Mo Fan couldn’t tell. It probably wasn’t too advanced, or that day’s scorpion tail sting would’ve killed him outright.
Additionally, among these poisons, Mo Fan found gecko demon poison, scorpion demon poison, a large amount of toad demon poison, and a rare bit of snake demon poison.
Four of the Five Poisons were present, only missing centipede demon poison.
After some thought, Mo Fan set the human skin scroll aside and picked up another beast hide book to read.
*The Great Sun Breathing Technique*!
This was the true secret manual recorded in the beast hide book!
“A cultivation technique?!”
Mo Fan’s eyes brightened as he flipped through it.
He spent half a day reading, and when he finally looked up, his eyes held a trace of shock.
It was indeed a cultivation technique, and an extremely peculiar one, capable of manifesting a Heavenly Sun Dharma Form in its final stages.
This so-called Dharma Form was a divine ability, but manifesting a Heavenly Sun was so terrifying that Mo Fan could hardly believe it.
What frustrated him was that he couldn’t cultivate this technique, as its foundation relied on absorbing the essence of the sun. According to the description, it absorbed sun essence far faster than typical human techniques.
As a demon, Mo Fan was inherently unable to absorb sun essence, or he’d be incinerated by the sun’s true fire.
At least in Black Wind Mountain, he’d never seen any demon dare to cultivate under broad daylight, not even the Black Wind Demon King at the mountain’s peak.
“So this technique is useless to me.”
Mo Fan gave a bitter smile, initially thinking it was a great opportunity, only to find he couldn’t benefit from it.
“Wait… though the *Great Sun Breathing Technique* absorbs sun essence, it might work on other things…”
A sudden idea struck Mo Fan. He spat out a spirit stone, held it, and began operating the *Great Sun Breathing Technique*.
Sure enough, he soon sensed faint traces of spiritual energy flowing from the spirit stone, filling him with delight.
He then applied the absorption method from the technique to the spirit stone, and wisps of spiritual energy began to leak out, only to dissipate into the surroundings.
Mo Fan frowned but didn’t give up, knowing his lack of mastery was the issue.
For the next few days, he focused on practicing the *Great Sun Breathing Technique*. By the seventh day, he succeeded, fully absorbing all the spiritual energy from a spirit stone!
Looking at the now dull, grey-white stone, Mo Fan crushed it to dust with a pinch, deep in thought.
He then absorbed more spirit stones, causing the spiritual energy cyclone in his body to grow to an astonishing size, three times larger than before!
Under introspection, it resembled a small sun!
At this moment, Mo Fan glanced at the pile of depleted spirit stones on the ground, numbering in the hundreds!
“The spiritual energy in these stones is denser than I imagined, each one containing more energy than a second-stage golden dragon loach!”
Mo Fan’s eyes gleamed, but then he frowned, muttering, “Doesn’t that mean feeding spirit stones to the dragon loaches was a losing deal?”
Realising this, Mo Fan gave a wry smile. He considered telling Bai Yaoyao and Big Head to stop the experiment but ultimately decided against it. After all, they’d been nurturing the loaches for so long, and he was curious to see if there was a fourth stage!
Besides, spirit stones weren’t particularly valuable to him. With gold coins in hand, he could replicate plenty given some time.
With this thought, Mo Fan felt more at ease.
Going forward, he wouldn’t need to buy spiritual herbs, just absorb energy from spirit stones.
This reminded him of the dilapidated temple market. No wonder everything there required spirit stones, they were the true currency and the best cultivation resource.
Compared to low-grade spiritual herbs, spirit stones were more abundant. The only difference was that herbs contained medicinal properties for healing or crafting certain pills, which spirit stones couldn’t match.
The *Great Sun Breathing Technique* was currently of little use to Mo Fan, so he set it aside and focused on cultivating the *Ten Thousand Poisons Spiritual Body* and *Little Thunder Sound Fist*.
To this end, he summoned his three trusted demon underlings, ordering them to secretly search for common poisons.
Meanwhile, Mo Fan practiced the *Little Thunder Sound Fist* until he fully mastered its second layer, “Fist Force.”
Now, his strength had surged, a single punch delivering sixty thousand catties of force!
Over a few days, Dali and the other two trusted demons successfully gathered many poisons for Mo Fan, greatly lifting his spirits.
During this time, he also inquired about the Fourth General, Venom Fang, but no demon had seen him.
This made Mo Fan increasingly suspect that Venom Fang had been slain by Qin Changsheng.
In other words, he no longer had any enemies in Black Wind Mountain!
At another full moon cultivation gathering, Mo Fan indeed saw no sign of Venom Fang, further confirming his suspicions.
With the Demon Spirit Valley trial approaching, Mo Fan could no longer sit still.
“It’s time to start the medicinal bath and cultivate the *Ten Thousand Poisons Spiritual Body*!”
