Chapter 398: Choosing Between Talents
[Day 205: You refined an eight-star Dou Venerate-level Sky Demon Puppet.]
[Day 206: You refined a nine-star Dou Venerate-level Sky Demon Puppet.]
[Chapter 300: While spending the day with your partners, you and Xiao Yi Xian witnessed a demonstration of Qing Lin's Dou Techniques, which she skillfully incorporated into her pupils. You compliment her and mention how mesmerizing her Jade-Green Triple Snake Flower Pupils were. She blushes and melts into your embrace.]
[Day 367: Based on the information you obtained about the Endless Spirit Ice, you head to the Fallen Spirit Ice Source.]
...
[Day 400: You search in the Fallen Spirit Ice Source for a whole day.]
[Day 421: You spend another day searching in the Fallen Spirit Ice Source. During this time, you encounter three strong individuals from the Heaven Shadow Sect. They seem to recognize you and attempt to approach you for a conversation, but you ignore them and leave directly, stepping on the surface of the Fallen Spirit Ice Source.]
[Day 450: You find the Endless Spirit Ice. After probing with your divine sense three times and finding no abnormalities, you proceed to collect it. However, as you reach out, you feel a sharp pain in your finger. You realize that you've been bitten by an ice-blue silkworm, and your face changes drastically. You discover that this silkworm is none other than the Ancient Crystal Silkworm, one of the Ten Poisons of the ancient era.
Those bitten by the Crystal Silkworm would be affected by a special toxin. The cultivated Dou Qi would have a portion of it transformed by the toxin, not completely disappearing but rather being absorbed by the toxin. This toxin, like salt in water, would integrate into the Dou Qi, limbs, and organs, making it difficult to eliminate. As the poisoned individual's cultivation level increases, more toxins accumulate in their body until they eventually turn into an ice sculpture.
You possess a Heavenly Flame, so this toxin is no threat to you. However, it will affect your cultivation, so you're in a very bad mood. You crushed the silkworm and collected its body.
Coincidentally, someone discovers your trail and ambushes you. They end up dead.]
...
[Day 571: You refine an eight-colored eighth-tier pill, "Blood Moon Bodhi Pill".]
...
[Day 705: You enter the Small Pill Tower.]
[Day 970: While passing through the territory of the Flower Sect, you purposefully investigate the surrounding valleys. You discover a valley that seems to hold a hidden realm.
After meticulous exploration, you come across three first-change Dou Venerate experts.
They also notice your presence and appear to be concerned. They launch an attack against you.]
[Day 971: You brush aside a clump of weeds and discover a peculiar stone. You believe you've found a Seven-Colored Origin Stone, but it turns out to be a Nine-Colored Origin Stone.]
...
[Day 1266: You contemplate using a wormhole to return to the North-Western Region, but due to the increasingly tense situation in the Central Plains, you abandon the idea.]
[Day 1670: The Pill Tower Ancestor returns, and as one of the pillars of the Pill Tower, you get to meet him. He holds you in high regard.]
[Day 1900: The three giants of the Pill Tower, along with the anxious Elders, convene a meeting. Despite the turmoil in the Central Plains, the alliance of the Pill Tower with other forces has stabilized the situation, so the Pill Gathering will proceed as scheduled.]

[Day 2768: You travel to the Gu Clan and encounter numerous talented young experts of the Gu Clan. They all seem to harbor dissatisfaction towards you and challenge you one after another, but you defeat each of them with a single punch.
Later, you meet Gu Qingyang, who did not make any move against you, but instead, invited you for tea. Through conversation, you learn the reason for the discontent among the younger generation of the Gu Clan, besides the fact that Gu Qingyang himself was once defeated by you. It was due to rumors claiming that the goddess of the Clan, Gu Xun'er, might be engaged to you in marriage.]
[Day 2810: You encounter the remnant soul of your ancestor, Xiao Xuan, who is quite satisfied with you. He takes you to the blood pool of the Xiao Clan's Dou God Bloodline and asks you to exchange blood, inheriting the last remnants of the Xiao Clan's bloodline power. You step into the blood pool.]

[Day 3316: You cultivate the Xiao Clan's bloodline mark, and your ancestor is very satisfied with you.]
[Day 3650: You hunt down an energy body at the Eighth-Change Dou Venerate stage, obtaining an eighth grade Energy Core.]
[Simulation ends-]
[Selecting talent items-]
[Currently available: Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, Dou God Bloodline (Xiao Clan), Eight Grade Energy Core.]
In that instant when he saw the options, even Xiao Ming couldn't help but be stunned.
What did he see?
The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils and the Xiao Clan's Dou God Bloodline, both guaranteed an entry into the Dou Saint Realm!
The Energy Core had already been automatically disregarded as it couldn't compare to the previous two options.
'Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, Dou God Bloodline...'
Facing the two options before him, Xiao Ming quickly snapped out of his daze and fell into a difficult dilemma.
Should he choose the Xiao Clan's Dou God Bloodline or the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils?
Undoubtedly, Xiao Clan's Dou God Bloodline referred to the bloodline left by Xiao Xuan. Although it was only the residual bloodline from Xiao Xuan's failed attempt to break through to the Dou God Realm, its richness was no less than that of a Divine-Grade Bloodline. Without a doubt, with this bloodline, there would be no bottleneck before reaching the Dou Saint realm, guaranteeing entry into that realm.
As for the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, there was no need to say more - it was the number one pupil's physique in the Dou Qi continent.
Between the two, it was really difficult to determine which was superior.
Therefore, if a choice had to be made, it could only be based on the impact it would have on others.
If he chose the Xiao Clan's Dou God Bloodline, there would be difficulties explaining it if he ever encountered Xiao Xuan in the future. Although the Dou God Bloodline had the possibility of reverting to an ancestral state, the bloodline of the Xiao Clan hadn't flowed down even a single drop, so there was no qualification for reversion.
On the other hand, if he chose the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, the distinct characteristics of the pupils would be too noticeable. If nobody knew him from the beginning, it would be fine, but now, many people knew him. If a pair of Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils suddenly appeared... it would be much harder to explain than the Dou God Bloodline.
After pondering for a moment, the voice of the simulator echoed in Xiao Ming's mind.
[Reminder! Please choose your talent item as soon as possible!]
'The simulator is as impatient as always.'
This thought flashed through Xiao Ming's mind, and he let out a sigh before making a decision.
"I choose the Dou God Bloodline."
As soon as Xiao Ming uttered these words, a blood mass about one meter in diameter suddenly appeared in front of him. A strong scent of blood permeated from it, accompanied by an extremely peculiar power that slowly spread out.
As Xiao Ming sensed the strange power, he didn't experience any discomfort. On the contrary, his blood began to flow rapidly at this moment. Faintly, he seemed to hear the exhilarating chirping of something extremely eager.
Upon seeing the blood mass, Xiao Ming immediately took out a white jade token from his storage ring and infused it with his soul power. Then, he threw it out casually.
After the token was thrown, it was directly supported by Dou Qi, piercing through the solid wall and landing on a corridor pillar with lower hardness.
No one witnessed this scene. Otherwise, they would be amazed at Xiao Ming's exquisite control over Dou Qi.
