The panacea they held in their hands was Peiyuan Pill.
Pei Yuan Pill is a relatively common type of Xuan Grade Pill. When many alchemists try to refine Xuan Grade Pill, they will choose it as a starting point. It is also one of the necessary panacea for practitioners to cultivate. There is a great market in Wu Dalu.
As long as they are cultivators, even sword cultivators and knife cultivators who don't like taking drugs have more or less come into contact with Peiyuan Dan, Yi Xuan and Sheng Yunshen are no exception, not to mention Wen Qiao who eats the pill as jelly beans.
After the three of them looked at the color and shape of the panacea in their hands, they began to smell its smell, scraped off the powder of the panacea, twisted it on their fingers, and continued to observe its color and taste. Sheng Yunshen even licked it.
Seeing this scene, Yi Xuan's eyes twitched slightly. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Ning Yuzhou say, "Senior Brother Sheng, it's better not to eat this panacea."
Sheng Yun looked at him in horror, "I just licked it, it will be fine."
"If the number is small, nothing will happen."
Sheng Yunshen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a long while, Yi Xuan put down the panacea in his hand and said, "Junior Brother Ning, forgive me for being incompetent, it is no different from the usual Peiyuan Pill."
Sheng Yun said deeply: "Yes, yes, Junior Brother Ning, it is the top-grade Peiyuan Pill, and its appearance is quite good."
Before meeting Ning Yuzhou and the others, Sheng Yunshen always felt that top-grade pills were already very good, and top-grade pills were something that he never dared to hope for, and top-grade pills were already very good.
Then they looked at Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao said: "There is a strange smell, it's not very pleasant, and the taste is also strange."
Yi Xuan rarely showed a look of surprise.
Sheng Yun looked at her in shock, and said, "Junior Junior Sister, could it be that the panacea we take are different? We can't smell anything, and we don't think it smells weird."
As he said that, he picked up Wen Qiao's observation panacea in disbelief, sniffed, touched, and... shut up in time, and didn't lick it, feeling that it was no different from other Peiyuan pills.
Sheng Yunshen was a little puzzled, it was the same, there was no difference.
Yi Xuan asked Ning Yuzhou: "Junior Brother Ning, are you right?"
Ning Yuzhou smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to take a panacea from the jade box, broke it into two halves, the cut surface was like jade, the quality was very good, there was really nothing to see.
He said: "Ah, what you said is right. It doesn't taste good, and the smell is also bad. From the outside, this Peiyuan Dan is no different from ordinary Peiyuan Dan. It's hard to distinguish it from its appearance alone. .”
Yi Xuan was expressionless, Sheng Yunshen still looked disbelieving, Wen Qiao blinked and smiled slightly.
"Of course, the smell is very faint, almost negligible, and only people with a keen sense of smell can smell it."
After his explanation, Sheng Yunshen groaned, "It turns out that it's not that we have poor eyesight and can't see it, but that our sense of smell is not as sensitive as yours. Forget it, Junior Brother Ning. You are an alchemist, and you have come into contact with many elixir, so your sense of smell is more sensitive." It's normal, why is my junior sister's sense of smell so sensitive?"
Wen Qiao said calmly: "I am very talented."
As a half-demon whose main body is Lingzhi, her five senses are naturally sharper than normal humans, which is indeed a gift.
After Yi Xuan and Sheng Yun listened deeply, they didn't think much about it, thinking that she was very talented and had a better sense of smell.
Sheng Yun deeply thought of a question, "Junior Brother Ning, you said that there is something wrong with these panacea, if there is no one like you who has a good sense of smell and can't find the problem with the panacea, what about those who have eaten it?"
Without waiting for Ning Yuzhou to answer, Yi Xuan thoughtfully said: "Could it be that those crazy people in Taize City are related to this panacea?"
"What?" Sheng Yun was dumbfounded.
Ning Yuzhou nodded, "Yes, they should be caused by taking too many of these problematic panacea during their usual practice. The earlier the time of madness, the more time and quantity of panacea they took. Leave it alone, after a while, those crazy people will become walking dead, and there is no possibility of treatment."
"How come?" Yi Xuan was a little surprised, his eyes fell on the spirit pills in the jade box, and he couldn't imagine that these spirit pills were so powerful.
They bought so many problematic spirit pills from two shops in the city today, one can imagine the number of black-grade pills sold in Taize City in the past.
If it is really a problem with the spirit pills, it can be seen that there are indeed a lot of problematic spirit pills that have been taken in Zecheng.
So, where do these elixirs come from? Who made it? for what purpose...
A series of questions flashed through his mind, and Yi Xuan was a little confused.
Sheng Yunshen was still struggling with Ning Yuzhou's words, and asked in horror: "Little brother, do you mean that those crazy people will become walking dead in the future?"
Ning Yuzhou hummed, "If you don't save them, that will be the end."
Hearing this, Sheng Yunshen and Yi Xuan were secretly startled.
The main messenger who planned all this behind the scenes was really sinister, and used the elixir to harm so many practitioners.
Wen Qiao also looked at the panacea on the table, thoughtful.
She seems to understand a little bit.
At this time, I heard Yi Xuan ask: "Junior Brother Ning, can you explain clearly? What is going on with this panacea?"
Sheng Yunshen also looked at him nervously.
The two brothers and sisters are still confused, although they understand, there is still a layer of veil between them.
Ning Yuzhou smiled and said: "You don't have to worry too much. Since we can find out in advance, it proves that things are not too bad. Second senior brother, the reason why the practitioners in Taize City go crazy is because these panacea contain A kind of power of Yuan Sha. Yuan Sha is a negative and evil thing, which is contrary to the spiritual body of the practitioner. If the cultivator is in contact with it for a long time, the body will be corroded by the evil spirit, and the spirit body will be damaged at the slightest, and the cultivation base will regress, and the mind will be lost. , turning into a walking dead monster."
As soon as this remark came out, the room was silent.
Yi Xuan and Sheng Yunshen were already shocked by what Ning Yuzhou said, and they never thought that the secret hidden in this panacea would be so dangerous.
Only Wen Qiao had a look of surprise on her face, and finally understood the other half of what her husband didn't reveal last night.
When she was in Tiandan Valley, she had an intuition that something would happen. She didn't expect that the problem would erupt after just over two years. This time is quite fast.
After a while, Yi Xuan said with a serious face: "Junior Brother Ning, tell us everything you know, so that we don't have to guess again."
Sheng Yunshen was full of confusion, what did Junior Brother Ning know
Ning Yuzhou didn't hide anything, he still had a gentle and calm appearance, and asked Sheng Yunshen: "Senior brother Sheng, do you still remember the person who won the first place in the Xuan-level alchemist competition in the Wucheng alchemy meeting two years ago? "
"Of course I remember." Sheng Yunshen said without hesitation, "It's a disciple of the Wang family of the Five Cities of the Danmeng League, named Wang Qirong, and she also has a holy-level alchemy furnace."
For Wang Qirong, Sheng Yunshen has a deep memory, there is no way, her pill furnace is too enviable.
Suddenly, he yelled again, finally came to his senses, and said with a horrified expression: "Junior Brother Ning, why did you suddenly mention her? You don't want to tell us that these panacea were made by that woman, do you?"
"That's right." Wen Qiao answered it naturally, "My husband's reminder is so obvious, Brother Sheng, can't you think of it?"
Sheng Yunshen: "..."
No, it's too hard to believe, he'd rather be stupid.
With a cold face, Yi Xuan kept his surprise in his heart and listened to them continue.
Ning Yuzhou went on to say: "Auntie is right. Wang Qirong's holy-level alchemy furnace is contaminated with the spirit of Yuan Sha. When she uses this alchemy furnace to make alchemy, the pills produced will naturally be stained with Yuan Sha. If the cultivator has long-term Taking the Pill of Containing Evil, the Qi of Yuan Sha accumulated in the body will increase until their souls are eroded by Yuan Sha and become walking corpses, going mad is a manifestation of Yuan Sha eroding their minds."
Having said it so clearly, both brothers Yi Xuan understood what was going on with the strange disease in Taize City this time.
Sheng Yunshen couldn't believe it, and couldn't help but said: "Isn't that a holy-level alchemy furnace? When did it get the aura of Yuansha? It can't be the latest, right?"
"Impossible." Yi Xuan analyzed for the stupid junior brother, "General Yuan Sha refers to a type of Earth Sha, and it will definitely take a long time for a holy-level alchemy furnace to be stained with Yuan Sha's aura. I'm afraid that the holy I don't know where to get the high-level alchemy furnace, before Wang Qirong got it, it was already stained with the spirit of Yuansha."
Ning Yuzhou nodded, and praised without hesitation: "Second Senior Brother is right."
Sheng Yun looked at him deeply aggrieved, and accused him, "Junior Brother Ning, why didn't you tell us earlier?"
When he was in Tiandan Valley, he recognized the holy pill furnace at a glance. It can be seen that with his strong eyesight, he would definitely not fail to see that the pill furnace was still stained with Yuansha, but he didn't say anything at that time. Where did they go? Can you guess it
Ning Yuzhou said without sincerity: "I forgot."
Sheng Yunshen: "..." Oh, I'm so angry, I feel like I've been perfunctory.
Yi Xuan understood why Ning Yuzhou didn't say anything.
Because at that time, they were not disciples of Scarlet Heaven Sect, but just two casual cultivators from remote areas, so they naturally had to be more cautious in their actions. Now that the two have joined the Scarlet Heaven Sect, they have become disciples of the Scarlet Heaven Sect. With the protection of the Scarlet Heaven Sect, they are not afraid of encountering troubles. In addition, this matter is also their task, so it is natural to discuss it clearly.
After understanding the origin of the panacea and the reason why the cultivators went crazy, they began to discuss Wang Qirong's purpose for this.
Putting such a large amount of problematic panacea into the Central Continent, and being able to do so without anyone noticing it, did not attract the attention of various forces in the Central Continent. It can be seen that it is not something that a Danmeng royal family can do. There must be someone behind the scenes. helper.
Also, did Wang Qirong's behavior mean Danmeng, the Wang family, or Wang Qirong herself
Besides, what is their purpose
"The Wang family of Anqiu City is a member of the Danmeng, and they are very powerful in the Danmeng. Except for the Shang family of Huaiyin City who can control one or two of them, the other three families are weaker than these two." Yi Xuan said slowly.
"The Wang family has always wanted to control the Dan League and get the right to speak in the Dan League." Sheng Yunshen added.
"The Wang family is not strong enough to arrange it so secretly. There should be other helpers." Ning Yuzhou continued, "We can investigate several mysterious forces in the Central Continent—the three sects, four sects, and five clans can be put aside first."
"Could it be related to the Demon Sect..."
…
The three men expressed their opinions one by one, adding doubts and questions slowly.
Wen Qiao sat aside calmly, took out a bottle of panacea, handed one to Wen Tutu who jumped over, took one herself, and continued to listen to their guesses.
Sheng Yunshen racked his brains and told what he knew. In the end, he found that he couldn't keep up with their train of thought. He couldn't help thinking depressingly, could he be really stupid
In the midst of self-doubt, suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person and a rabbit who were distributing the elixir, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Wen Qiao, and said, "Little Junior Sister, don't you want to express your opinion?"
Wen Qiao said calmly: "You are all finished, what shall I say?"
Sheng Yunshen: "..."
What she said made sense, but it made him look stupid because of his efforts. And how could the little junior sister sit there so calmly, not caring about anything
"My husband is here." Wen Qiao said confidently.
Sheng Yunshen once again: "..."
What she said made sense, Junior Brother Ning's brains alone were stronger than those of them, so he tried so hard to keep up with his train of thought, wasn't he just asking for trouble? There is a gap between people, why should he compare his own shortcomings with others' strengths
Wen Qiao handed him a panacea for him to make up for, finally know the difference between himself and a genius, right
So don't embarrass yourself, just do what you have to do, Wen Qiao has always adapted well, and there are smart people in front of her, so she doesn't need to rush to perform. Let her show off when no one is smart enough to stand up to her.
Sheng Yunshen took a top-grade pill, and finally felt better. He decided to listen to his junior sister, don't compare his own shortcomings with others' strengths, and squat aside to eat the elixir and sunflower seeds with his junior sister and Wen Tutu.
When it was almost finished, Ning Yuzhou said, "There is one more question."
Everyone looked over with great support, and then heard him say: "I don't know how many panaceas like this have flowed outside. Is there only one Taize City, or the cultivation city of the entire Central Continent."
Yi Xuan's iceberg face finally got a little heavy, "This matter really needs to be investigated, but I don't think there is anything to be found."
Ning Yuzhou nodded, "Don't worry, if there is such a panacea in other places, it will spread out sooner or later."
No, it's impossible to hide the cultivator's madness.
If it wasn't for Ning Yuzhou who came this time, the other alchemists didn't have his eyesight and knowledge, and they couldn't find the reason in the end. The fate of those crazy practitioners can be imagined. Let it go.
Yi Xuan's tense face finally improved a lot, and he asked, "Junior Brother Ning, if you want to find out the problematic panacea, should you let some cultivators or monsters with a keen sense of smell do it?"
Hearing this, Wen Qiao couldn't help looking at Ning Yuzhou.
She and Ning Yuzhou were able to discover the problem of the panacea, not only because they had a keen sense of smell, but also because they possessed the supernatural blood, and their five senses were more sensitive than ordinary people.
Unless those people are also people with magical blood.
But is it possible? Other than them, people who could awaken the supernatural bloodline met only one Wang Qirong, and it wasn't very good.
Ning Yuzhou said: "I can't guarantee this. If you want to ensure that you can find it, you can use mutant monsters. Mutant monsters have a more sensitive sense of smell than ordinary monsters."
"So that's how it is." Sheng Yunshen looked at Wen Tutu, who was eating the elixir, and said in an amazed tone, "So our Wen Tutu is so powerful."
Wen Tutu gave him a look of charity, did you know that the little boy is so powerful now
Sheng Yun deeply understood the meaning of Wen Tutu's eyes, and his expression was a little weird.
He heard that the spiritual intelligence of mutant monsters is higher than that of ordinary monsters. He didn't believe it before, but now he believes it.
