VIII: Go Crazy! Do You Eat Poison as Food?

"This is……"

I saw the red umbrella and white pole, and the brightly colored spirit mushroom.

Lu Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but think of a widely circulated proverb in his previous life.

Red umbrella, white pole.

I ate together and lay down the board.

If he guessed correctly, this should be a poisonous mushroom, right?

"Elder, is this... a phantom mushroom?"

It's different from Lu Yuan who is feeling distressed in his heart.

When other outer disciples saw this spiritual mushroom, their eyes lit up, as if they had seen some treasure.

"That's right, this is the phantom mushroom that my Qingyun Sect has successfully cultivated at a cost."

"Although this product has some side effects, it has extremely strong medicinal power and can help you get into the road quickly."

"At that time, Elder Sun Xiao took a phantom mushroom every day and his cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, and he was able to become a powerful soul in the Soul Palace realm in just thirty years."

The old man in black robe was very responsible and explained in detail to everyone without getting tired of it.

"And this top-grade phantom mushroom is a new product recently developed by Liandan Hall, and its medicinal power is 40% stronger than that of ordinary phantom mushrooms."

"And the price is very fair. Each plant only costs three low-grade spirit stones. If you are interested, you can buy it directly from me."

The old man in black robe smiled and induced him step by step.

When other outer disciples heard this, they were all a little moved.

Because the price of ordinary phantom mushrooms requires two spirit stones per plant.

But the medicinal power of a top-grade phantom mushroom is 1.4 times that of ordinary phantom mushrooms.

If converted.

If you buy a top-quality phantom mushroom, the cost-effectiveness is even higher.

"Elder, I wonder how long the medicinal power of this phantom mushroom can last?"

An experienced outer disciple immediately asked.

"It's no basis for saying it. You can tell whether this medicine is powerful or not at first glance."

The old man in black robe smiled slightly and then looked at the disciple in Maiyi: "Today I will make a good relationship with you, and this phantom spirit mushroom will be sold to you as two spirit stones."

"But elder, the disciple is short of money..."

The mai-clothed disciple stared at the phantom mushroom in the other party's hand, and a strong desire was conveyed in his eyes.

Although he was from a humble background, he had naturally heard of the effects of phantom mushrooms for so long after entering Qingyun Sect.

It’s a pity that his family is barely barred and can’t afford such spiritual objects with the little money of the outer disciples?

"It's okay, I can owe it for the time being."

"It doesn't matter if you really can't pay it back. My alchemy hall will develop a variety of new elixirs every year. Then you can help me test the medicine a few times to get rid of this debt."

The old man in black robe smiled heartily and handed the phantom mushroom over as he spoke.

"Test the medicine?"

When the Mayi disciple heard these two words, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Just as the old man in black robe said.

There is no fixed law, and the momentum is not constant.

The alchemy in this world is also imaginative, and there is no fixed alchemy recipe. It all depends on personal performance and mood at that time.

Therefore, the new medicines refined by those alchemists often have various side effects, and it is common to eat them to death.

"I heard the truth in the morning and died in the evening. Our monks are dedicated to seeking the truth and have long put life and death aside."

"Is your life more important than the martial arts belief you have persisted in for many years?"

The old man in black robe looked dark and scolded without hesitation.

When the Maiyi disciple heard this, he hesitated for a long time, then glanced at the Jinyi disciple again, and finally gritted his teeth and picked up the phantom mushroom.

"The child can teach you."

The old man in black nodded slightly, showing a hint of relief on his face.

Under the gaze of all the disciples.

The disciple of Maiyi stuffed a handful of phantom mushrooms into his mouth and chewed them in big mouths.

A few strands of bright red juice flowed down from the corner of his mouth, and combined with his tough expression that was not crazy and unable to survive, it looked quite ferocious.

Not long after.

He swallowed a whole plant of phantom mushrooms into his belly, and the medicinal power also took effect.

"Himmer~"

The Mayi disciple burped, and his body suddenly swayed back and forth, staggering, as if he was drunk.

Moreover, the skin around the body quickly turned red, looking like a cooked prawn, so bright red.

But his expression was extremely excited, as if he had encountered something extremely happy.

Sometimes I laughed to the sky, sometimes I roared excitedly, sometimes I cried loudly, and cursed loudly, as if I was complaining about God's injustice.

"Would you rather have a genitals in the kings, princes, generals and ministers!"

"The world is not yet determined, you and I are all dark horses!"

"You are just looking handsomer than me, and your cultivation is better than me. You only have a few bad money at home. What's so great about it?"

"Why am I shameful and I must live like a mouse in the gutter!"

"When a great responsibility is given to this man, he must first suffer his heart and mind and muscles and bones. I am the true son of destiny!"

"Hehe, I've beat you too much!"

The mai disciple cried and laughed, punched and kicked the air, saliva flowed in his mouth, and an abnormal smile on his face, looking like a devilish mania.

But as he was immersed in the illusion, his breath suddenly surged, and he stepped into the eighth level of body-building in just a dozen breaths!

"Is this the best phantom mushroom? The medicinal power is indeed powerful!"

Seeing this, the other disciples couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.

But Lu Yuan's scalp was numb when he saw it.

This world is indeed terrible and he actually takes poisonous mushrooms as spiritual medicine.

Moreover, after hearing the meaning of the old man in black robe and many outer disciples, they seemed to have become accustomed to this and have regarded various illusion-causing pills as necessary for cultivation.

"It's three parts poisonous, not to mention that they take poison as food. It would be strange if they don't go crazy forever."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

If the practice method of self-only taught by the old man in black robe still has certain advantages.

However, this method of entering the Taoist path by taking poison pills is terrible and will sooner or later become possessed by the devil.

Half an hour later.

The red color on the surface of the skin of the Ma Yi disciple gradually faded away and finally returned to normal.

And he woke up from the illusion like he woke up from the dream.

"Wake up so quickly?"

The Mayi disciple looked a little regretful, as if he was still feeling unfulfilled, and he did not want to end the dream so soon.

However, when he noticed his rapid growth in strength, he was overjoyed and wanted to have another phantom mushroom.

"Although the phantom mushroom is powerful, if taken multiple times, it will become dependent and the efficacy will be much worse than before."

The old man in black robe seemed to have seen the inner thoughts of the disciples in Maiyi and immediately warned him.

"However, the Phantom Spirit Pill does not have this limitation. This pill uses Phantom Spirit Mushroom as the main medicine and has added many precious auxiliary materials."

"The medicinal effect is not only several times that of the top-grade phantom mushrooms, but also has extremely minor side effects."

"If you buy from me, you can still enjoy a generous discount."

While speaking, the old man in black robe took out a longan-sized pill from the storage bag.

The pill was red all over, with a faint pattern on the surface.

As soon as it appeared outside, a rich fragrance of pill spread in the air.

"What a horrible toxicity."

Lu Yuan's face changed slightly, and he immediately held his breath, fearing that he would be eroded by the fragrance of elixir.

But when other outer disciples smelled the fragrance of pills, they couldn't help but take a deep breath, and an extremely enjoyable expression appeared on their faces.

They breathed heavily, panting like a cow, a trace of confusion flashed in their eyes, and they wished they could immediately grab the red pill and stuff it into their mouths!

"This pill is powerful, and only disciples in the Linghai Realm can bear it."

"However, if you take this pill from the ninth level of body-building, you will also have the miraculous effect of quickly breaking the realm."

"There are three months left to be the inner gate competition. You don't want to miss this opportunity, right?"

The old man in black robe glanced at the disciple in brocade clothes and said with some meaning.

The disciple in Jinyi's expression moved slightly when he heard this.

He looked up at the Mayi disciple and felt the eighth level of body-building breath coming from the other party.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, as if he had made up some determination.

"Elder, I..."

However, the disciple of Jinyi was about to say something, but was interrupted by the old man in black robe.

"Okay, this sermon ends here. If you need it, come to the Alchemy Hall to find me."

After sucking everyone's appetite.

The old man in black robe put away the phantom spirit pill and floated away.

As for other outer disciples, in order to compete for the remaining elixir incense in the air, they all rushed to inhale their breaths.

But the next moment.

Those outer disciples who were breathing heavily suddenly stiffened their bodies and their faces turned green immediately, and they cursed with anger.

"vomit!"

"Who is so immoral that he actually makes a secret fart?"

"And it's chicken-flavored?"

Smelling the disgusting stench, some powerful and wealthy outer disciples immediately left.

But those disciples from poor backgrounds were unwilling to waste this hard-won opportunity. They could only pinch their noses, distorted their faces, and continue to breathe happily.

Seeing the scene of demons dancing in front of him, Lu Yuanren was stunned.

People can't, at least they shouldn't!

People in this world are indeed terrifyingly confused. They can do everything they can to compete for the fragrance of pills!

Lu Yuan couldn't bear to look at him and immediately turned around and left the hall.

"There are three months left before the inner gate competition, and this period should be enough for me to enter the middle stage of the Spirit Sea."

Lu Yuan walked in the Qingyun Sect and thought while walking.

Unlike other outer disciples, he has the talent of [Refining the Fake to Be True], and he does not have to deceive himself, and he can successfully practice a martial arts to the perfect state.

What's more, the exercises after the refining of [Fake Fakes and True] are all perfect true teachings, and the cultivation speed is thousands of miles a day.

"And although the idealist martial arts in this world are crazy, there are other benefits."

"For example, those practitioners treat various hallucinatory poisons as treasures, but instead do not pay much attention to those spiritual medicines that increase their spiritual power, blood and blood."

"In this way, I can acquire a large amount of cultivation resources at a lower price."

"But before, in order to break through the Spirit Sea Realm, I have spent all my savings. It seems that I have to find a way to earn spirit stones."

Lu Yuan murmured to himself.

According to the rules of Qingyun Sect.

All outer disciples can receive five low-grade spirit stones from the sect for free every month.

However, this little spirit stone is just a drop in the bucket compared to the massive resources required by cultivators.

In addition to the monthly money every month, if the outer disciples want to obtain more spirit stones, the best way is to take over the sect tasks and earn contribution points.

These sects have different tasks and a huge difference in rewards.

Like some simple tasks, the reward is only half a low-grade spirit stone.

But if it is those extremely difficult dangerous tasks, you can often get hundreds of low-grade spirit stones and many rewards by completing them once!

"The dangerous tasks take too long, so my top priority is to improve my strength."

"First take some simple tasks, as long as you can earn the resources you need for cultivation."

Lu Yuan weighed the pros and cons and quickly made a decision.

Do it when you think of it.

After leaving Chuangong Hall, he did not return to his residence, but went directly to the mission hall.

Not long after.

A large number of connected pavilions appeared in Lu Yuan's sight.

The area of ​​this place is much larger than that of the Chuangong Hall, and people come and go, and there are often outer disciples here to receive tasks.

Lu Yuan even saw more than a dozen inner disciples wearing purple robes.

These disciples have strong auras and strong strength. Almost everyone has at least the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.

They stood in the crowd, looking extremely conspicuous.

"The inner disciples have a noble status and can obtain a large amount of resources. They can receive hundreds of low-grade spirit stones for free every month, and they can be considered high-level within the Qingyun Sect."

"If I were an inner disciple, I could just make Manager Wang kowtow and apologize with just one sentence. How could I do it myself?"

Looking at the majestic inner disciples, Lu Yuan also sighed in his heart.

Immediately, he shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He walked to a notice board and began to browse the tasks posted above.

"Simple task, go to Mianshui City to deliver a letter and pay half a spirit stone."

"On ordinary mission, go to the Five Poison Valley to collect ten blood saffrons and reward five spirit stones (requires cultivation level in the later stage of body training)."

"Dangerous mission, for the Alchemy Hall to test medicine, reward fifty low-grade spirit stones (requires cultivation level in the Linghai Realm)."

...

There are many types of tasks on this notice board, with at least hundreds of tasks.

Lu Yuan browsed a little bit and found that most of the tasks were rewarded pitifully low.

However, when he looked at the long-term mission hanging above, his eyes suddenly froze and his expression became serious.

"Long-term mission, kill a disciple of the Taixuan Sect Body Forging Realm and reward fifty low-grade spirit stones."

"Kill a disciple of the Taixuan Sect Spirit Sea Realm and reward one thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

"Kill a powerful man in the Taixuan Gate Soul Palace realm and reward him with a low-grade spirit stone of 100,000 yuan, and you can be directly promoted to the elder of the inner gate!"

"Taixuanmen?"

Seeing these three words, the originally vague information in Lu Yuan's mind gradually became clear.

The Dali Dynasty had a vast territory and possessed the land of the four seas and nine provinces.

There are many sects in the dynasty, and there are many strong people.

The scope of influence of this Taixuan Sect happens to be bordering the Qingyun Sect. It is the most powerful sect within a radius of thousands of miles. It always wants to annex Qingyun Sect.

So for many years.

These two major sects are fighting openly and secretly, and they are like water and fire. I don’t know how much blood and deep hatred have accumulated.

In addition, the Dali Dynasty was fueling the fire behind the scenes, and the disciples of the two sects faced each other's life and death as soon as they met, reaching the point where they were never stopped.

Lu Yuan's biological father and mother were unfortunately killed by a disciple of Taixuan Sect because he was involved in the struggle between the two sects.

The hatred of killing your father is irreconcilable.

It can be said.

Lu Yuan was born with Taixuan Sect and had a deep hatred that could not be mediated! (End of this chapter)
