"What?" Wu Tian's words caught Liu Xue by surprise.
She stared at Wu Tian and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Seeing a spark of light finally appear in her eyes, Wu Tian continued with a smile, "I mean exactly what I said. What's wrong, can't you understand?"
"I wasn't born knowing how to refine poisons. If you're interested, I can teach you my techniques."
"With your talent, surpassing me shouldn't be too difficult then, right?"
Liu Xue was stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
Logically, she shouldn't agree to something like this. However, Wu Tian's offer was too tempting, and even she couldn't help but be moved.
She looked at Wu Tian hesitantly and then asked tentatively, "Are you... are you serious? Are you not lying to me?"
Wu Tian smiled and replied, "No, what kind of person do you think I am? How could I lie to you?"
"However, I don't plan to stay here for long, so if you want to make a decision, you should do it quickly."
"Otherwise, I'll be leaving."
Liu Xue struggled internally, fearing that Wu Tian would truly leave.
She quickly said, "Yes, yes! As long as you teach me, then I... I'm willing to learn."
At this moment, she appeared somewhat reserved and shy, a complete contrast to her earlier arrogant demeanor.
In Wu Tian's eyes, she looked much more pleasing this way.
He nodded and said, "Alright, since you're willing, I have nothing more to say."
"Here, what you want is all here. Take it."
With a flip of his wrist, a book immediately appeared in Wu Tian's hand.
It was an ancient tome, appearing very old and likely passed down from a long time ago.
"This is..." Liu Xue took the ancient book in surprise.
As soon as she saw the characters on the cover, she was utterly astonished.
"This is the 'Poison Scripture'?! How do you have something like this!"
Liu Xue's exclamation was loud, indicating her genuine shock at the ancient book.
Upon hearing her voice, everyone else also trembled and showed expressions of awe.
"Daughter, what did you say? This is... the 'Poison Scripture'?"
Liu Chuanxiong's eyes widened as he looked at Liu Xue, his astonishment evident.
Liu Xue nodded blankly and said, "No... this, this is indeed the 'Poison Scripture'. How could this be?"
"This is the work left behind by the Poison God. Wasn't it said to be lost long ago? How is the text in your possession?"
In response to Liu Xue's question, Wu Tian smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to explain this in too much detail."
"From now on, this 'Poison Scripture' belongs to you. The Poison Maiden paired with the 'Poison Scripture' is quite a perfect match, wouldn't you say?"
The reason Wu Tian possessed the 'Poison Scripture' was quite simple. Many people didn't know that the Poison God and the Medicine God were actually the same person.
Since Wu Tian had inherited the Medicine God's legacy, it was only natural for him to possess the 'Poison Scripture'.
Meanwhile, Liu Xue found Wu Tian's generosity incredible.
She felt as if she were dreaming, saying somewhat dazed, "Wu Tian, you're really willing to give me the 'Poison Scripture'? Why would you do that?"
She truly couldn't comprehend Wu Tian's actions.
After all, the 'Poison Scripture' was the world's most supreme work on poison refinement!
If this book were to be leaked, even top hidden sects would vie for it.
Yet, Wu Tian was giving away something so precious so readily. Such an act was truly hard to fathom.
But faced with her questions, Wu Tian simply smiled and said, "What's there to be surprised about? I think this book suits you, so I'm giving it to you."
"However, I'm only giving this to you. You must not leak it."
"Otherwise, I can take it back at any time."
Liu Xue quickly replied, "Don't worry, how could I possibly leak something so valuable?"
"I will study it diligently until I learn everything within. Then... I will return it to you."
Wu Tian smiled and nodded, "No problem. To be honest, I've only had a superficial understanding of the contents here, learning only some basic skills."
"If you can comprehend the 'Poison Scripture' thoroughly, you will definitely surpass me in the future."
What he said was not untrue.
After all, he was a doctor, dedicated to saving lives, and thus had little interest in refining poisons, nor had he delved too deeply into it.
With Liu Xue's talent, if she mastered the 'Poison Scripture', she would undoubtedly be the greatest in the world, and even he would be unable to catch up.
Looking at Wu Tian's smile, Liu Xue was deeply captivated, and an indescribable emotion surged within her.
She hugged the 'Poison Scripture' to her chest, her face instantly flushing pink.
Wu Tian noticed her unusual expression and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there still a problem?"
Liu Xue's cheeks felt hotter and hotter.
She softly asked, "I want to ask you a question. Are you really helping me just because you think I have talent?"
Wu Tian looked at her with a strange expression and replied, "Yes, why else? Do you think it's for some other reason?"
Wu Tian's rhetorical question made Liu Xue even more shy.
She had something she wanted to say but couldn't, hesitating before finally lowering her head and saying, "It's... it's nothing."
Wu Tian found her increasingly peculiar. Meanwhile, Liu Chuanxiong, seeing Liu Xue's reaction, immediately understood her feelings.
A strange smile curved his lips, and he suddenly said, "Wu Tian, for you to give us something as precious as the 'Poison Scripture', honestly, we don't know how to repay you!"
Wu Tian smiled and replied, "There's no need for repayment. It's just a small matter."
Wu Tian thought a polite refusal or two would suffice. However, Liu Chuanxiong continued with a smile, "That won't do."
"Since you are so generous, I must offer a reciprocal gift."
As he said this, Liu Chuanxiong's smile grew even more pronounced.
"How about this, I'll marry my daughter to you. That should be acceptable, right?"
"What?" Hearing this, Wu Tian was greatly startled.
Liu Xue also hadn't expected Liu Chuanxiong to say this, her face instantly turning crimson.
She lowered her head and said with embarrassment, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?"
