This discovery made it extremely convenient for Lugh. Not only did it save him the cost of cultivating the poison attribute of the beetle, but according to Village Chief Eddie, the poison cultivated by this Armor Boosting Pill would have the poison of the Purple-Tailed Blue Crystal Scorpion.

There was a very high chance that Big Mouth would have the poison of the Purple-Tailed Blue Crystal Scorpion, which existed in the form of tiny poisonous light particles.

Lugh had heard the old merchant mention it before. He knew that this kind of poison was extremely difficult to deal with and was impossible to guard against. Hence, he decided to use it as a terrifying killing weapon. If this kind of poison was really cultivated, Big Mouth's strength would definitely rise to another level.

'Looks like I didn't lose out by buying the Poison Crystal Beetle fragments of the Purple-Tailed Crystal Scorpion at a high price,' Lugh thought to himself.

In an open outer courtyard, a large stone basin specially made to accommodate several grown men was filled with purple turbid water.

This turbid water brought a strange fragrance into the air.

The surface of the purple turbid water was suffused with some purple light, and tiny, hard-to-see light particles were shimmering with a weak light.

A youth wearing a gray outer robe covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves. His pair of eyes that were like an ancient pond was calmly staring at the stone basin, as if waiting for something.

When the turbid water in the stone basin was completely covered by the purple light, the youth opened the spirit space and summoned the source beast that had a thick, thorn-like armor.

Its scarlet compound eyes turned around, curiously looking at the flowing water in the stone basin that was emitting the purple light.

"Big Mouth, the Armor Boosting Pill has completely fused with the water. You can now directly soak your body in it."

The youth was Lugh. He still covered his mouth and nose to maintain a distance from the stone basin, then turned his head and spoke to Big Mouth.

"Roar!"

Big Mouth did not hesitate for a moment. It knew that its master would not harm it, so it had already flown to the sky above the stone basin. Now that Big Mouth had grown to level 9, its thin wings had already grown in size... Big Mouth already had a certain degree of flying ability.

Big Mouth flapped its wings and its body slowly sank into the medicinal bath. It did not stop sinking until the beetle on its back was completely submerged, leaving only its head above the water surface.

After Big Mouth soaked in the medicinal bath for a short while, the purple light on the medicinal bath began to swim away from the water surface and gradually converged towards Big Mouth's body. A dazzling purple light gathered around Big Mouth's head.

"Roar..."

Big Mouth let out a low roar as if it was enduring some kind of pain. Following that, the purple light on the surface of the water gathered at a faster and faster speed.

It lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. The originally purple muddy water in the stone basin gradually became clear. In the end, the water flow became transparent, just like clear water.

Splash!

After soaking in the water, Big Mouth flapped its wings and flew into the air. The water droplets on its body continuously dripped down from the surface of its body. The crystal clear water droplets glided over its body, shining under the sunlight, making it appear particularly dazzling.

Big Mouth's overall appearance had become brand new, and many of the details on its body had changed.

The first thing that changed the most was the Thorn Beetle on its body. It had lost its previous tender feeling, and the hooks on its back had become much longer. Moreover, the color of the Thorn Beetle was dyed with a hint of blue from its original brown color.

Besides that, purple light particles would occasionally appear on the surface of the beetle, making the entire beetle look like it was emitting a fluorescent light.

"This medicinal bath has allowed the Thorn Beetle to possess the Amethyst Beetle's light energy poison..." Lugh raised his head and looked at Big Mouth in the air. His eyes revealed a glimmer of light, and his brows revealed a hint of joy.

Although Big Mouth after the medicinal bath could not immediately allow the Thorn Beetle to cover the entire body, it had accelerated the growth of the beetle. Other than that, it had also given the Thorn Beetle something that it originally did not have, which was the Purple-Tailed Blue Crystal Scorpion's light energy poison.

The light energy poison could only be like the Purple-Tailed Blue Crystal Scorpion, which could only be grasped by high-quality source beasts above the rank of a high-level soldier. It was far superior to the low-quality poison that could be grasped by ordinary people or low-level soldiers. It was the putrefaction poison... It was a poison that both the poison and the cold poison could not compare to.

The Thorn Beetle that gave the light energy poison not only gave Big Mouth a direct boost in combat strength, but it also saved him a sum of money to cultivate the poison attribute of Big Mouth.

More importantly, the light energy poison was a rare and high-grade poison. With this light energy poison, the Thorn Beetle would be of great help in cultivating Big Mouth's poison attribute.

Other than the changes in the beetle, the legs and hook claws of Big Mouth were also dyed a little purple, turning black and purple.

The poisonous hook claws that originally had a little poison attribute also grew due to the medicinal bath, transforming from the poisonous insect claws into the more poisonous yin poison insect claws.

The yin poison insect claws and poisonous insect claws were both considered medium level in the insect claws, but the yin poison insect claws were the most practical and powerful of the medium level insect claws.

Not only did the yin poison insect claw possess the corrosive toxicity of the poisonous insect claw, but the toxicity also contained a kind of yin poison that could weaken the enemy. It was equivalent to grasping a double poison, and was the middle grade insect claw that was closest to the upper grade insect claw.

The growth and transformation of the insect armor and the hook claw directly raised the combat strength of Big Mouth to a whole new level.

Apart from that, the thin blade-like membrane insect wings of Big Mouth were suffused with a purple reflective light. Especially where the wings intersected with the body, it was as if the ends of the wings were dyed with purple blood threads.

The overall color of big mouth began to change to blue-purple. This was also a classic color that represented the poison attribute.

These changes were enough to prove that Big Mouth's poison attribute had grown. In just a short week, there were such changes. It was all the result of the 'tempering' of various heavenly and earthly treasures.

Lugh slowly put down the sleeve that covered his mouth and nose. Looking at the Big Mouth that slowly fell in front of him, he muttered in a low voice, "The external body's poison attribute cultivation is almost done. Next, it's time to formally cultivate Big Mouth and let it completely cultivate the poison attribute."

Lugh's plan to cultivate the poison attribute from the external to the internal was already half completed. Big Mouth's external body had already successfully transformed. The next step was to let Big Mouth's body possess the poison attribute. and the cultivation of new attributes always required funds.

Lugh's money had been used up in the previous shopping. In the short term, there was no way to continue cultivating Big Mouth's new attributes.

However, Lugh was not in a hurry to buy new resources for Big Mouth. He continued to pour resources into Big Mouth. After all, source beasts that relied on resources and ignored experience would not grow into true powerhouses.

Lugh decided to head to the Forest of Despair to train for a few days. He would return during the next village competition. This time, Lugh was determined to obtain the generous reward for the champion of the next village competition. Now, other than training, Lugh's mind was filled with money. After all, the cultivation of source beasts consumed too much resources.

The reason why Lugh went to the Forest of Despair to train before the competition was for his own reasons. Not only did he want Big Mouth to increase its level through battle, but he also wanted Big Mouth to quickly familiarize itself with its body and strength that had grown rapidly in the past week.

In addition, Lugh planned to specifically choose a training target for Big Mouth, so that it could understand the fighting methods of most source beasts, slowly train its battle experience, and slowly instill some tactical thinking into it. This would allow it to quickly become a warrior who could take charge of its own affairs.

Lugh walked to the residence of Village Chief Eddie and asked for a relatively complete map of the Forest of Despair. Then, he left the village and set off towards the Forest of Despair.

After Lugh had prepared the necessary tools for survival in the wild, he directly walked towards the outer area of the Forest of Despair.

As soon as Lugh walked out of the village, he began to flip through the map in his hand. This was a map that recorded the outer area of the Forest of Despair.

No one knew exactly how large the area of the Forest of Despair was. After all, no one had dared to go deep into it before.

The map was detailed with the distribution areas of different source beasts in the periphery of the Forest of Despair, as well as the dangerous areas outlined in red handwriting. It could be considered a detailed map after all.
