Chapter 3181: I Have Three Methods! Symbiosis Method and Cocoon Breaking Method! This...
"What method?"
Rolford couldn't wait to ask later; he needed the answer now.
Though he had found a few ways himself, they remained temporarily out of reach—now it was all up to Wang Teng.
"The simplest solution is to enhance your physical constitution," Wang Teng said.
"Of course I know that," Rolford replied, his expression dimming with disappointment.
If that was all there was, then it was as good as saying nothing at all.
"So here's the question: how do we enhance your constitution?" Wang Teng smiled.
He was actually quite eager to help Rolford improve his body, because doing so would also elevate his own *Wooden Butterfly Poison Body*. And best of all, he wouldn’t have to pay anything—just lend a little effort. A win-win situation!
"Are you hiding something?" Rolford raised an eyebrow, noticing his expression.
Could this guy possibly see through every kind of constitution?
He hadn’t told Wang Teng what his actual constitution was, had he?
"You don’t need to look at me like that," Wang Teng shook his head, chuckling.
"The *True Seeing Eye* can indeed perceive certain essences.
But what I’ve figured out is based on my observations of your body just now."
Rolford suddenly understood. He didn’t doubt Wang Teng’s words.
If that *True Seeing Eye* were truly so powerful, then everyone’s constitution would be laid bare before him.
But judging from the current situation, Wang Teng wasn’t quite that extraordinary yet.
That was the benefit of keeping one’s true abilities hidden.
Had he not concealed a little, Rolford might never have believed him now.
"It must be because I let Wang Teng examine my body closely, so he could figure it out," Rolford thought to himself, then spoke aloud.
"Then tell me—what kind of constitution do I have?"
He smiled, suddenly wanting to test Wang Teng.
Wang Teng smiled back and began fabricating.
"I once read about a toxic constitution linked to an ancient poison butterfly, possessing both wood and poison attributes.
This constitution allows one to manifest the phantom image of the ancient poison butterfly—a power beyond ordinary limits.
It combines the forces of poison and wood to their peak, achieving a perfect fusion unlike any common toxin."
As Wang Teng described it, Rolford’s expression gradually turned serious, his smile vanishing completely.
Wang Teng glanced at him again, almost tempted to say: "Why aren’t you smiling anymore? Don’t you like laughing?"
But he held back.
He was afraid of getting hit.
Had he just exposed Rolford’s deepest secret?
Actually, he’d held back—he hadn’t revealed everything.
After all, showing too much wasn’t wise.
Yet he hadn’t expected that even these few details would make Rolford’s smile fade, his face turning grave.
"Wang Teng, where did you see such records?"
Rolford fell silent for a moment, then asked.
"I once received a legacy, and the record of this constitution was inside," Wang Teng lied effortlessly.
Of course, it wasn’t entirely made up.
He had indeed received the inheritance of the Void Devouring Beast, which included records of the *Wooden Butterfly Poison Body*.
But he couldn’t tell Rolford that.
Rolford nodded, not pressing further. Everyone had secrets. If Wang Teng chose not to speak, he wouldn’t pry.
Still, he couldn’t help but feel astonished.
What kind of legacy could contain such detailed information about the *Wooden Butterfly Poison Body*?
"Since you clearly know about my constitution, you must also know how to improve it, right?"
Rolford stopped pondering and quickly returned to the matter at hand.
"Yes!"
Wang Teng didn’t hide it this time, nodding. "I have three methods."
"Three?!"
Rolford’s heart jolted, his eyes flashing with surprise.
Wang Teng had three methods—while he himself had only found two.
And those two weren’t directly usable; he hadn’t met the conditions in years.
Now Wang Teng claimed to have three—even if two matched his own, there was still a new one.
A surge of hope swelled within Rolford.
A sudden turn in fortune!
Earlier, when he obtained the *Corrosive Source Soul-Eating Grass*, he knew it could ease his condition.
But he felt a mix of surprise and disappointment.
His emotions had been conflicted.
Now it was different. A greater joy flooded him.
He knew Wang Teng wouldn’t speak without reason. This time, perhaps he really could find a solution.
"Tell me quickly,"
Rolford took a deep breath and urged.
"The first method,"
Wang Teng cut straight to the point, beginning his explanation.
"I call it the 'Ancient Poison Wood Grafting Method,' also known as the 'Symbiosis Technique'!"
Rolford was stunned.
No way.
Is this really starting off with something so special?
This method, he didn’t know it at all—once he heard it, he was already a little confused.
What grafting method?
What symbiosis method?
He had never even heard of such things—could this be that different approach?
Wang Teng just happened to be the first one to mention a method he didn’t know.
Wang Teng had no idea what Rolford was thinking, and continued:
“This method involves finding an ancient poisonous tree that has already awakened its spiritual nature, and ‘grafting’ it onto your own body.”
“Thus forming a symbiotic relationship with your physical constitution, creating a synchronized mode of operation between both.”
“In this way, you can use that [Ancient Poisonous Tree] to refine your own power, reducing the impact caused by your cultivation techniques.”
The more Rolford listened, the brighter his eyes became.
It seemed genuinely feasible!
He almost wanted to pry open Wang Teng’s skull, just to see how such wild ideas could possibly sprout from that brain.
“But how do we make that [Ancient Poisonous Tree] symbiotically coexist with my physical constitution? That’s another big problem.”
Rolford quickly furrowed his brow again, spotting the difficulty in the matter.
“Well… actually, that’s not really a problem,”
Wang Teng rubbed his chin and said, “I should be able to help you.”
“Really?” Rolford stared at him in astonishment—could he really help with that too? Was this for real or not?
“I have my own way,” Wang Teng smiled.
First, he possessed an exceptionally powerful toxic constitution.
Not only did he have the [Wood Butterfly Toxin Body], but also the far stronger [Demon Lotus Toxin Body].
With these toxic constitutions, his control over toxic forces would undoubtedly be immense.
Therefore, he could easily control the toxic energy within Rolford’s body.
Second, he also had a powerful wood-based constitution, giving him strong control over the wood-based energy inside Rolford.
At the same time, controlling that [Ancient Poisonous Tree] would become much easier.
His wood constitution naturally had the ability to control wood-based spiritual beings.
That was precisely why he dared to propose this method.
This counted as a major advantage for him.
The so-called [Ancient Poisonous Tree] was essentially a spiritually advanced creature possessing both powerful toxic and wood attributes.
To integrate it into the body and allow it to coexist with one’s own constitution—how difficult could that possibly be?
Even Rolford found it a tremendous challenge.
Only Wang Teng dared to attempt it.
Beyond that, there was his identity as a rune master.
For this “symbiosis method” to work effectively, it required the use of primordial law runes to a large extent.
And that, too, was his strength!
“…”
But Rolford had no clue about the intricate thoughts swirling in Wang Teng’s mind. Hearing those words, his lips twitched involuntarily.
You’ve got your own way, huh?
Can’t you just stop showing off?
He now desperately wanted to know exactly how Wang Teng planned to do it, but judging by the other’s expression, he clearly wasn’t going to say anything.
Helplessly, he asked, “Then what is your second method?”
“Don’t rush me—I haven’t finished explaining the first one yet,” Wang Teng smiled and continued.
“What else?” Rolford asked curiously.
“The purpose of this ‘symbiosis method’ isn’t merely simple symbiosis—it’s meant to enhance your physical constitution,” Wang Teng said.
“What?!”
Rolford was taken aback: “Are you saying this ‘symbiosis method’ can not only alleviate my issue, but also improve my constitution?”
He had thought this method would at most ease the effects of his cultivation technique—still a temporary fix, not a permanent solution.
After all, based on Wang Teng’s earlier description, it seemed like it was only meant to relieve symptoms, not solve the root cause.
“Yes!”
Wang Teng nodded and said, “Didn’t I tell you? All three methods I proposed can enhance your constitution.”
“No, did you say that?” Rolford’s head was full of question marks.
“Didn’t I?”
Wang Teng replied with surprise, feeling that the other had missed something—clearly hadn’t been paying attention.
“Didn’t I tell you from the beginning that I could help you enhance your constitution?”
“…”
Rolford fell silent for a moment, then said bitterly, “I thought you were only referring to one or two of the three methods.”
“How could I have imagined that all three methods could enhance my constitution?”
“Next time, pay better attention to the questions,” Wang Teng rolled his eyes in annoyance, scolding him.
If you don’t listen carefully, who can you blame when things go wrong?
This is seriously important, okay?
“???”
Rolford’s face turned pale, but he couldn’t argue back.
He felt like a student being reprimanded by a teacher—what a pain in the neck!
Could this guy have done it on purpose?
“Alright, now let me properly explain how this ‘symbiosis method’ enhances your constitution.”
Wang Teng interrupted Rolford’s thoughts and spoke slowly.
“Go ahead,” Rolford immediately stopped thinking about anything else, perking up and ready to listen intently.
“The key to this method lies in finding an [Ancient Poisonous Tree] that matches your own physical constitution.”
Wang Teng glanced at Rolford, smirking inwardly, but kept a serious expression while explaining:
“That way, you can use the power of the [Ancient Poisonous Tree] to nourish your constitution, allowing it to undergo transformation.”
"Allow the 'Ancient Poison Wood' to nurture your constitution!" Loft frowned once more. "This method of yours possesses a wondrous similarity to the approach I had previously conceived. I intended to utilize the essence of a spiritual item with the identical attribute to elevate the constitution."
"Yet, proceeding in this manner renders your 'Ancient Poison Wood' somewhat arduous to discover."
Wang Teng nodded in agreement. His method was actually evolved from the ordinary course of action, serving as a refined alteration.
For standard methods to grant the 'Wood Butterfly Poison Physique' an elevation was simply too arduous.
The requisite power of identical attribute essence would absolutely be a remarkably vast quantity.
Whereas this method of his required merely a single stalk of 'Ancient Poison Wood'.
He had simply lengthened the span of time, employing a gentler, more natural fashion to elevate the 'Wood Butterfly Poison Physique'.
Naturally, the points of difficulty had multiplied as well.
One was the issue of 'symbiosis' mentioned earlier, and the other was the troublesome difficulty of finding the 'Ancient Poison Wood'.
However, it remained the same sentiment; since he dared to propose it, it was certainly because he possessed a calculated assurance.
With his innate talent, desiring to find this type of spiritual item should not be considered difficult.
Of course, the prerequisite was that it had to be coupled with Loft's network of personal connections.
"So long as you can discover a location where the 'Ancient Poison Wood' might potentially exist, I can help you unearth the corresponding spiritual item."
Wang Teng spoke with absolute confidence.
Loft's heart stirred, instantly recalling Wang Teng's capabilities.
Indeed!
With the other party's treasure-seeking talent, what spiritual item could he not find?
Even if that 'Ancient Poison Wood' which matched his attribute was extremely rare, so long as Wang Teng took action, it might not be impossible to find.
"Looking at it this way, this method is rather decent."
Loft nodded, then spoke again, "Then... what of your second method?"
Because the first method was so peculiar, he consequently harbored a trace of anticipation toward Wang Teng's second method as well.
What if!
What if this second method was also different from his own approach?
In short, an extra method meant an extra path, and listening to more options could never bring any harm.
"As for the second method."
Wang Teng pondered for a brief moment, then said, "It is called the 'Butterfly Chrysalis Breaking the Cocoon Method'!"
"???"
Loft's mind was once again filled with dark question marks of complete bewilderment, rendering the entire man even more dazed.
What in the world was all of this?
He had never expected that the second method escaping Wang Teng's lips would be so... peculiar once again!
What was meant by the 'Butterfly Chrysalis Breaking the Cocoon Method'?
Could a butterfly break from a cocoon as well?
Had it not broken out long ago?
He was likewise ignorant of this method, and now his heart was filled with doubts and curiosity, causing him to hurriedly look toward Wang Teng.
"You are clueless, aren't you?"
Wang Teng let out a soft chuckle, speaking with immense pride, "This method is to push the power cultivated by your technique to its absolute limit, causing it to form a chrysalis!"
"No, wait a moment, what do you mean by pushing the power cultivated by my technique to its absolute limit?" Loft froze for a moment.
Was this not courtying death?
It was precisely because of his own power that crystalline entities had manifested within his body. If he let it unleash completely, would that not be seeking his own demise?
"You did not mishear; this is a method of placing oneself in a deadly situation to seek rebirth afterwards."
A piercing glint suddenly surfaced within Wang Teng's eyes as he stared at Loft's body, saying:
"It is a bit perilous, but if it succeeds, perhaps you can obtain unexpected benefits."
Loft suddenly shuddered all over, feeling a sinister chill as though he were being targeted, always sensing that something was amiss.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
He looked at Wang Teng suspiciously, a absurd notion arising within his heart.
Could this fellow possibly want to use him as an experiment?
Good heavens!
If it truly were so, then this boy was simply audacious to the extreme, utterly shameless, and unpardonably guilty...
