In the video.

"Is this Plague God's Body easy to train?" Dugu Bo couldn't resist the temptation after all and couldn't help asking.

Obviously, Sun Zhongjing's talk of condensing spirit rings and increasing the age of spirit rings was too tempting for him. In other words, no spirit master could resist the increase in the age of spirit rings. Especially that bloody 100,000-year spirit ring!

This is almost the ultimate dream of all soul masters.

"How should I answer you?"

Faced with his inquiry, Sun Zhongjing seemed a little confused, as if wondering why he would ask such an obvious question.

Dugu Bo saw his expression and realized that he had asked a stupid question.

Is it easy to practice? Of course it is not easy to practice!

Absorbing thousands of viruses into the body, just thinking about it, you know that practicing this thing must be extremely dangerous!

"It is not so easy to cultivate the Plague God's Body." Sun Zhongjing began to slowly explain the principles of cultivating Plague God's Body.

"As I said before, the cultivation of the Plague God's Body is actually a process of constantly contracting diseases and poisoning, and then recovering."

"The 'poison' here actually refers not only to toxins as people know them, but includes all factors that are harmful to the human body. Therefore, some infectious diseases that seem to have nothing to do with toxins, or other diseases that cause people to get sick, can all be classified as 'poison'.

Anything that is harmful to the human body is poison! I will simply call them all viruses! "

"During the period of infection, you need to constantly fight the virus in your body until your body completely overcomes the virus and will no longer be harmed by it. At this point, your body has developed resistance to this type of virus."

"And if you want to continue to strengthen the virus in your body, you need to absorb new viruses and combine them with the old viruses in your body to form a new virus. This cycle repeats itself to continuously strengthen the virus in your body."

"As you can imagine, every time you are infected with a new virus, it is a brand new test of life and death! If you survive, your life will be safe. If you fail, you will die of the disease. There is no other possibility."

Dugu Bo was sweating coldly when he heard this. This kind of training method requires you to fight hard almost every time you practice! Especially during this period, the pain of the body overcoming the virus is simply unimaginable! The most extreme thing is that the old virus that was originally overcome in the body will become more toxic and weirder because of the addition of the new virus! The degree of danger rises sharply.

You never know when the virus in your body will be too strong for you to survive and you will die.

It's too dangerous!

Dugu Bo simply couldn't imagine how many kinds of viruses the old man in front of him had to absorb to reach his current level of cultivation.

He asked his doubts.

Sun Zhongjing smiled and said calmly, "I don't remember. I have been practicing medicine all my life and cured countless people. Every time I encountered a patient with a virus I had never seen before, I would absorb it into my body for research. Over time… the disease in my body has grown to its current state."

Although his words were plain, Dugu Bo could feel how rough the cultivation process was. He couldn't help but feel scared just thinking about the thousands of viruses in his body!

He was really afraid of these things because he had been hurt by poisons for many years. He also sincerely admired Sun Zhongjing, the ruthless man who created the unique cultivation method of "Plague God Body".

Although he admired him, he was not blessed with this kind of cultivation. Dugu Bo did not think that he had the ability of Sun Zhongjing, who could endure the pain of illness and overcome the harm of thousands of viruses, but used them to improve his cultivation. After all, his own snake venom alone tortured him to the point of being unhuman.

At the same time, he also understood why Sun Zhongjing had been able to treat his poison as nothing and even swallow it directly. Because compared to the disease demon formed by thousands of viruses in the other party's body, his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's Poison was simply a thing that was not worthy of being on the table. He was afraid that once it entered the other party's body, it would be swallowed by the "disease demon".

"The sonic poison you used before, is that the poison you used to poison me with the disease in your body?" Dugu Bo couldn't help asking. He knew that since the other party's disease could hurt himself, it could also hurt others. Even if the other party wanted to, he could spread a horrible plague that swept across the entire continent in an instant. It was like the God of Plague in the world, no wonder he was called the Plague God's Body.

"That's not the case. It's just a technique of poisoning." Sun Zhongjing shook his head and didn't explain the principle of sonic poison to him. Because Dugu Bo didn't know how to do it, and if he did, it would lose its mystery.

"Okay. I have finished telling you the secret of the Plague God's body. What do you think? Do you want to learn it?" Sun Zhongjing looked at Dugu Bo without any change in his tone, as if he already knew his answer.

"Senior, I think it's enough to use soul bones to store toxins. As for the wasted time, I just need to be more diligent and I can make up for it." Dugu Bo said a little embarrassedly. The more confident he was before, the more embarrassed he felt now.

"You."

Sun Zhongjing shook his head and said, "I have already said that the poison in the soul bone is only a temporary solution. You don't think the disadvantage of this method is just a waste of time, right?"

"Isn't it?"

Dugu Bo was somewhat bewildered after hearing this. Even Dugu Bo in real life was somewhat confused when he saw this. After all, in his opinion, using spirit bones to store toxins was indeed foolproof. At most, every time the spirit possessed the body, it would need to force the toxins in the body into the spirit bones, wasting a lot of time.

But compared with losing your life, the wasted time is not worth mentioning at all.

"Of course it's more than that."

Sun Zhongjing shook his head and said, "Although the soul bone can store toxins, you must know that the storage space of any container is limited, and the same is true for the soul bone. You force the toxins into the soul bone, and you can rest assured in the short term. But as time goes by, the toxins inside accumulate more and more, and when it reaches the limit of storage…what do you think will happen?"

"It will overflow!"

Dugu Bo said with a sullen face: "And it might even cause all the toxins accumulated inside to burst out at once!"

When so many toxins suddenly appear in his body, his fate is almost foreseeable.

"Senior, is there no other way besides cultivating the Plague God Body?" Dugu Bo said in great distress. It's not that the Plague God Body is bad, on the contrary, this method is simply too powerful.

The key is that the process of cultivation is too dangerous, and he really has no confidence that he can succeed. It feels better than soul bones. After all, even if soul bones will break out in the future, it will not happen in a short time. And if you cultivate the body of the plague god and introduce the virus into your body, if you can't survive it, you will die on the spot.

"Yes." In response to Dugu Bo's inquiry, Sun Zhongjing answered directly.

"Is there really no other way? That's right…" Dugu Bo was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized that the other party was talking about other ways, not that there were no other ways.

In an instant, he stared at Sun Zhongjing with his green eyes, as if he was unsure, and asked again: "Senior, do you think there is any way to solve the problem of my infection besides the Plague God's Body?"

"Yes, I have."

Sun Zhongjing said directly: "In addition to the Plague God's Body, I also have the method of poison pills. It can also solve your problem of having nowhere to store poison. Even after condensing the poison pill, the poison will no longer be a problem for you, but will become your help, allowing your poison skills to reach a higher level."

"…"

Dugu Bo's expression at this moment was completely difficult to describe in words. He had thousands of words in his heart, but in the end, only one sentence remained.

——Why didn't you say it earlier?

Video ends!

In reality, Dugu Bo almost went crazy when he saw the screen in front of him suddenly turned dark!

What the hell is going on? Is this question and answer intentional?

It just happened to be interrupted at the most critical moment.
