#588 - The Book of All Poisons
Meanwhile, Li Chengfeng was leisurely traversing the gray mist, relying on his keen hearing to capture the subtle changes around him.
Even the faintest fluctuations in the gray mist could not escape his perception.
The instant Gongsun Liufei lost control of his emotions, he immediately noticed and transformed into a swift gust of wind, like a sharp blade, violently slicing through the gray mist, heading straight for Gongsun Liufei.
Its momentum was so fierce that it seemed capable of tearing apart the entire gray mist, leaving Gongsun Liufei in utter shock.
Although startled, Gongsun Liufei maintained his composure, relying on the power of the refined Hunyuan Pearl. With a thought, he once again concealed himself in the depths of the gray mist, fleeing to a hidden corner, his face pale, barely daring to breathe.
He secretly vowed in his heart: "After I recover my vitality in six or seven days, I will definitely settle the score with you!"
However, he also knew that Li Chengfeng could similarly recover his strength during that time and might hide in the magical treasure's space to avoid him, making it difficult for him to track his whereabouts.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng couldn't use his divine sense while moving, relying solely on his subtle perception of the gray mist.
He felt as though the gray mist had become a part of his own body, and any minute fluctuation would instantly attract his attention.
However, sprinting at the limits of martial arts was extremely exhausting. If he continued like this, not only would he fail to find his opponent, but he would also become utterly exhausted.
Although the duration was unknown, he firmly believed that any magical treasure or power had its limits. Once it失效, and the opponent regained their strength, he would have to retreat quickly.
This sense of powerlessness and frustration ignited anger within him, but fortunately, he maintained good emotional control, knowing that his opponent was no ordinary individual.
Li Chengfeng's creed was: If you can win, then win; if you can't win, then avoid.
He took a deep breath, integrating his movements with his breathing. As he circulated his martial arts techniques, a strange and wonderful state of mind surged into his body, causing his eyes to shine brightly.
For cultivators, these gray mists were undoubtedly a painful torment, suppressing their abilities; but for martial artists, they were a rare opportunity.
Li Chengfeng quickly mobilized his martial arts techniques, realizing that the gray mist contained toxins.
He was proficient in various body refinement techniques, among which the *Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture* was particularly adept at using poison against poison to cultivate oneself, giving him immunity to such toxins.
Even if other martial artists stepped into the gray mist, they would hardly escape the misfortune of being poisoned without the protection of magical treasures, but Li Chengfeng was immune to its harm due to his cultivation of the *Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture*.
He immediately circulated the *Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture*'s techniques, absorbing the gray mist into his body. As a result, the technique received a significant boost, and his eyes became even more radiant.
This gray mist was to the *Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture* as wings were to a tiger, as if it were custom-made for him, complementing each other and doubling its power.
Li Chengfeng unexpectedly discovered this wondrous book, the *Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture*, from the pet ring left behind by the Dragon-Witch Wizard Zhe. Not only was he not intimidated, but he instead used it as an opportunity to temper and deepen his own body refinement techniques.
He not only refined all the residual toxins that had accumulated in his body over the years, but also forged a flawless body, as if a phoenix had been reborn from the ashes.
Originally, this *Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture* was merely a trump card he had prepared in case of need when breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm. He never expected that it would become the key to reversing the situation today.
As his figure danced, the surrounding gray mist seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, frantically surging into his body.
At this moment, the meridians in his body seemed to be awakened by a mysterious power, like a long-awaited rain after a drought, greedily absorbing every trace of mist.
The profundity of the *Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture* was fully revealed. It not only opened up all the hidden meridians and existing acupoints in Li Chengfeng's body, but also made his power surge like a rushing river, unstoppable.
Combined with the inheritance of the ancient demon power, his physique was sculpted to be even more perfect, his figure slender. With every move he made, an indescribable pressure permeated the air, which was the ultimate of martial arts cultivation, the dual tempering of the physical body and the divine soul.
In this space restricted by laws, both the divine sense eye driven by magic power and the true eye that penetrates falsehood have lost their effectiveness.
Only the eye of power, like a torch, pierced through the mist. Li Chengfeng's gaze was sharp and profound. Wherever it reached, the mist dissipated on its own, as if his will was the only light to dispel the darkness.
He suddenly realized that in this sea of mist, the essence of power was to penetrate and absorb. As a result, the speed of his cultivation suddenly accelerated, and the rolling mist turned into trickling streams, seeping into every corner of his body, nourishing every acupoint.
The acupoints expanded accordingly, and the mist absorbed into the body underwent a qualitative change within Li Chengfeng's body, becoming viscous and full of vitality.
Faced with this scene, Li Chengfeng was not impatient or irritable, but rather felt a bit of composure, which was in stark contrast to Gongsun Liufei's anxiety.
Gongsun Liufei frowned as he watched the surrounding mist become increasingly thin. When he realized that Li Chengfeng was actually actively absorbing this deadly gray mist, he was shocked beyond measure.
It should be known that this mist was condensed from ten thousand poisons. Once a cultivator was contaminated, their magic power would be completely lost. Li Chengfeng's action was no different from seeking his own death. However, he hesitated, thinking that Li Chengfeng would definitely not be so foolish as to destroy his own foundation. Where exactly was the problem? He couldn't figure it out.
Faced with this sudden change, Gongsun Liufei knew that as the mist was absorbed in large quantities by Li Chengfeng, his advantage of concealment would be completely gone.
Li Chengfeng's strength was rapidly increasing, and he was afraid that he would follow in the footsteps of those merman and encounter misfortune.
He hurriedly tried to communicate with the spirit of the treasure in his hand, but found that this spiritual treasure had lost its former power for unknown reasons and had become half-crippled.
Although the spirit of this treasure was strong, it could only be used when the enemy actively stepped into its domain. Now, it was unable to capture the enemy on its own and had become a burden on the battlefield.
On the other hand, Li Chengfeng was overjoyed. He had never expected that the *Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture* contained such a miraculous body refinement technique and a peerlessly powerful weapon of ten thousand poisons.
Combined with his own physique and the inheritance of the ancient demon power, his power seemed to have grown wings and soared into the sky.
What made him even more pleasantly surprised was that this gray mist not only did not become an obstacle, but instead became a catalyst for improving his technique in the process of cultivating the *Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture*, making the power of the *Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture* even more powerful.
Li Chengfeng pondered whether he should integrate the *Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture* into himself when advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, or wait until the mid-Nascent Soul stage to consider it.
He knew that every decision could affect his future cultivation path, so he was especially cautious. But at this moment, he was more focused on using the gray mist to accelerate his cultivation, in order to force Gongsun Liufei to show himself.
As the gray mist was absorbed in large quantities, Li Chengfeng seemed to have established a subtle connection with this sea of mist. The gray mist seemed to have become his servant, allowing him to drive it at will and enter his body.
And his magic power was also gradually unlocked in this process, showing unprecedented potential.
The gray mist, which was originally aimed at Li Chengfeng, became exceptionally docile after he cultivated the *Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture*, and even produced a certain degree of resonance with him.
A strange thought surged into Li Chengfeng's mind, with a bit of praise: "Boy, you are really blessed with good fortune, to be able to gain the approval of the gray mist."
Li Chengfeng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and responded: "You are the spirit of this treasure here, right? Seeing that your aura is weak, you must have been severely damaged in the great battle and are barely surviving.
Although this pearl is magical, the foundational formation has been broken and it is difficult to restore its former power."
In this one night, Li Chengfeng not only absorbed the gray mist, but also gained a deep understanding of the restrictions and formations of this treasure's spirit.
He knew that all of this was due to chance, and he must cherish this good fortune, continue to move forward, and go further and further on the path of cultivation.
