You’re from a poison clan, right? That means you understand ingredients, reactions, mixtures, and doses better than anyone here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha fidgeted with her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... but Master... I excel in poisoning people, not improving supplements that help people. It’s different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed loudly, leaning back in his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mersha, have you ever heard this sentence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a finger dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’All things are poison, and nothing is without poison. Only the dose decides if something is not a poison.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha tilted her head. \"I’ve... never heard that before, Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled and explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly what I said. Anything can be poison.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped the glowing bottle on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And anything poisonous can become useful if the dose is right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha blinked, confused. \"So... you mean... the only difference between poison and medicine is the amount?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct. You already understand how to calculate lethal doses. That means you also understand how to calculate a safe dose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know how to create danger... which means you can create safety too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha lowered her gaze, her voice small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... I never learned healing formulas. Or medical mixtures. Or proper supplement care. I don’t know anything about creating beneficial things...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion gently tapped her forehead with one finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s why you’ll learn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha looked up at him, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion pointed toward the massive divine door leading back into the dojo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The[Divine Dojo]has a library filled with books about herbs, medicines, alchemy, and advanced brewing. All the knowledge you need is there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha blinked softly, unsure. \"...Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded with his arms crossed, proudly smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dozens of books. Auto-organized. They float to you if you ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped her forehead gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just need to read. And test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha frowned, fingers tapping against each other nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I’ll try, Master. But what if I mess up?\" She rubbed her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if I accidentally make actual poison instead? And... I can’t test it. We only have cadavers. No living subjects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked, already expecting that question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry about that. I’ve already figured it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around. \"Follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha hurried behind him like a tiny ghostly shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion led her toward the very back of the Divine Cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Down a short hallway, he stopped in front of a door with a glowing symbol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed it open, and Mersha’s eyes widened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside was a room filled with strange, shiny equipment she had never seen in her entire life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha covered her mouth. \"W-What is all this...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stepped inside proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome to the supplement lab of the[Divine Cafeteria].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spread his arms wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is where you will learn, create, test, and perfect every supplement for the God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha took slow steps inside, her eyes darting from machine to machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place... it feels like another world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled. \"It should. My special relic made most of this. Even I’m still learning some of the functions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then walked to a small pedestal and pointed at something lying on top of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a simple-looking doll with neutral expressions and a soft body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha tilted her head. \"...A doll?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion picked it up and held it in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn’t just a doll. This is a[Divine Doll].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped its chest, and lines of light spread across its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This doll can be preset to match any body type, any physical condition, and any cultivation stage... up to the second realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha gasped softly. \"It... it can mimic a real person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. Whatever supplement you feed it, whatever mixture you spray, inject, or test... It will react like a real living human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wiggled the doll’s arm at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you don’t need real test subjects. Whatever happens to the doll will tell you the effect precisely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha walked closer, eyes shining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amazing... I never thought something like this would exist...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stroked his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, this is the God Gym. We don’t do things normally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled shyly. \"True...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion then led her to another large piece of equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was something shaped like a massive box with a glowing rectangle on the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a giant, magical flat-screen television.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here,\" Garion said, patting the side, \"is where you can check all current God Gym supplement formulas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screen lit up instantly, displaying formulas for[Demonic Creatine],[Demonic Protein], and other terrifying supplements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha gasped again. \"I can read all of this...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And modify it. Combine it. Improve it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he pointed at a floating crystal next to the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this is connected to the God Gym’s main spatial storage. You can summon any ingredient we have: herbs, minerals, beast parts, essence powders, anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha’s jaw dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W–Wait... anything? Even precious items from the sect treasury?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded casually. \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha waved her hands nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"B-But Master! Those are valuable! Rare! Shouldn’t we save them?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked and placed his hand gently on her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mersha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A treasure is only valuable if it’s used. Herbs sitting in a chest are useless. Supplements made from them can strengthen our disciples and strengthen our sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled his hand back and crossed his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we hoard everything out of fear, our enemies will just become stronger and take those treasures anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha lowered her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...That makes sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smiled warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So. Use everything you need. Don’t hold back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the lab again, filled with shimmering tools, glowing shelves, and the divine doll slowly blinking awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart thumped with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Master,\" she whispered, \"I’ll do it. I’ll learn everything. I’ll make supplements that help everyone grow strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion nodded proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s what I want to hear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped aside and gestured toward the lab, offering her the entire room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mersha of the God Gym. From today onward, this is your domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she stepped forward into the center of the lab. Her hands trembled with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t disappoint you, Master Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you won’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around to leave but paused at the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Mersha?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion gave her a dangerous grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s create something this world has never seen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha smiled for the first time with genuine confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1079,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.542Z",1,"novelbin.me","7ff56af9a2ae49ef7c87ea036b1ea9262ef59b7e3defbaaaba5e96af9d057688","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-244","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-242",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
