"Dad!" Little Yui ran into Theo's embrace and jumped into his arms.
Theo smiled and caught her in the air. He hugged her and kissed her on the cheek.
"Come on, you need to meditate. I see you are close to making progress." Theo carried her over to where his clone, Aomi, and Little Emma were.
"Why are there two dads?" Little Yui wondered. Unlike Little Emma who thought it was an illusion made by Theo, Little Yui was more sensitive to the illusion technique than her sister.
"It's a new skill that I learned. I can clone myself and he has half of my powers." As soon as Theo finished explaining, his clone disappeared. The stipulated time for the clone to be active had passed.
"I see. Okay, put Yui on the floor," Little Yui said, "Yui is going to meditate now and become more powerful!"
"Okay." Theo smiled graciously and placed her on the floor.
"Emma is going to meditate too." Little Emma sat on the floor next to Little Yui and was about to meditate, but was stopped by Theo.
"Do it in the [Dimensional Room]," Theo said. There was no reason why they needed to do it here. Since they were about to go up in cultivation, it was better and easier to go to the [Dimensional Room] and then come back.
"It's true, there will be a better result." The two little girls nodded. Theo then made them go to the [Dimensional Room], but not before creating illusions of them so as not to let other cultivators be suspicious. It was not a good idea to let them know that he had a dimension of his own or something similar.
The cultivators waiting for the next round of the monsters began to murmur:
"They messed with the wrong fox."
"Quite the complicated situation, I mean, as rotten as they were, Nédio Song's father..."
"I loved it! I hated that arrogant Nédio Song! "
"It's best not to mess with the quiet ones."
"I agree, Nédio Song and his followers didn't have a brain between them!"
"I think their neurons had already been eaten by their ego."
"Haha ha! That's true."
Theo heard this, but he just looked in their direction and ignored it. As much as he agreed with what some of them had said, he didn't think they were being sincere. They just say it because Nédio Song's group was the losing side. If it was the other way around, if it was him who had lost, their jeering would have been of him and his daughters.
Creating a new clone, Theo gave him clothes to use and then he went to his [Dimensional Room] as well.
"Theo!" Ariana jumped into his arms and acted flirtatiously. "You can't do that, you know... Again you left and forgot to make the time inside the [Dimensional Room] go back to normal."
"... My mistake." Theo apologized, "I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
"It's good that you will. If not, you will end up missing out on your child's birth." The one who said that was Yuki, who slapped Theo lightly on the head.
Theo scratched his head, feeling awkward, and said, "Yes, that's right, I'm not going to make the same mistake again, sorry." He pulled away from Ariana and hugged Yuki and kissed her and asked with soft eyes, "Will you forgive me?"
"... You are forgiven." Yuki's heart melted when the love of her life spoke like that. Even her initial anger was in the wind.
"I have to say I'm out of time. I still need to be immune to level 7 poison, so make a line." He meant to kiss them, but who would have expected that the girls would actually line up? Theo laughed wryly and kissed them all; even Little Yui and Little Emma had joined the line.
After kissing the girls, Theo took the bodies of the cultivators and separated the bodies from the items, whether weapons or storage accessories. Keeping everything in his Storage Ring, Theo left to figure out what to do with it later. If he had time, he would increase his cultivation later using those corpses.
After doing this, Theo went to a corner of the [Dimensional Room] where the bathtub he had used before was and bought level 5 poison and level 6 poison potions.

2000 Crystal Points spent.

'I've already spent a lot of points on this...' Theo could only sigh, but it wasn't like he could save now. After all, what he was doing was becoming immune to poison, which was something very surprising in many ways.
Theo took the poison potion, then got into the bath full of green poison and started to meditate using the technique: Body of a Thousand Poisons.
No matter how much Theo was used to bathing in the poison, the pain was still unbearable. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to have a body that was immune to poison, he wouldn't have undergone this kind of masochistic training.
Worse, the girls were interested in learning this technique and skill.... 'Well, they can take it easy so it won't be as bad as it is right now for me,' he thought.
While distracted by the thought, Theo almost screamed in pain as the poison penetrated his skin and entered his body. If it weren't for the technique he had used, he would be in serious trouble.
Getting rid of all unnecessary thoughts at that moment, Theo concentrated on using the technique: Body of a Thousand Poisons.
- Some hours later…-

Body of a Thousand Poisons achieved: Initial; High Advance

Theo, upon seeing this, smiled but did not relax. It was still not enough; he would only be able to withstand some level 6 poisons.
Buying another bottle of poison, this time level 6, Theo took it and continued to meditate.
His body looked like it was being burned and corroded inside, but Theo was able to take it. Now, although not much, it became easier for him to bear the poison's deleterious effects.
- Two hours later…-

Poison King - Reached: Level 6
