Chapter 466: The source of erysipelas! Follow the clues [Please subscribe for a monthly ticket]
After listening to Han Duguan's description of the "crazy devil", three words of "magic elixir" appeared in Chu Chen's mind.
The symptoms of people who died suddenly were almost 80% to 90% similar to those after taking the magic pill.
It's just that the people who died suddenly and prematurely did not take the magic pill.
Of this, he was certain.
He personally investigated the matter and confirmed from the corpse to the family members of the deceased that it was clear that the person who died suddenly had not taken any magic pills before his death.
To say the least, the magical elixir is a panacea no matter what. It is very valuable and cannot be accessed by ordinary people.
"Could it be that the common people are infected with madness because they come into contact with practitioners who take magical pills?"
Chu Chen couldn't help but have this idea pop up in his mind.
The monk's energy and spirit are so strong that even if they are corroded by the magic elixir and cut with swords and axes, their shortcomings will not be revealed for a while. The troubles will gradually appear over time.
The situation is different for ordinary people who are weak.
When the madness enters the body, the spirit is high day by day. For example, if you take a tonic medicine day and night, you may be excited for a while, but in fact you are trading your life for it. Soon your body will be exhausted, and you will eventually die suddenly.
The thought came together, and he thought about it carefully, and it made more sense to him.
Immortal Court worked hard to find the source of the spread of "madness", and even many monks with great supernatural powers took action themselves.
If the spread of "madness" came from the hands of demons, I'm afraid they would have been brought to justice by the monks with great supernatural powers and wiped out.
But what if the person spreading "madness" is a righteous monk?
The "madness" in the elixir is contagious and can pollute the surrounding creatures?
The monks who took the elixir were kept in the dark, and outsiders could not see through it.
It's scary to think about it.
The more Chu Chen thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.
Everyone discussed in the meeting hall for a full hour before they dispersed.
After leaving the Du Guan compound, Chu Chen, full of thoughts, went straight to Huanghao courtyard, came to his study, took out the Nine Nether Order, and contacted Toad Jingtuntian.
[Fellow Taoist Tuntian, where can I buy magic elixirs?]
The next day.
There is a mountain valley in Longling Mountain, full of green mountains and gurgling streams.
Chu Chen descended here on three-colored auspicious clouds.
"Fellow Taoist Tuntian, I'm here."
"Crash!"
As Chu Chen finished speaking, water splashed in the deep pool in the mountain col, and a black shadow flew out of the pool.
At first glance, it looked like a giant toad with a flowery back. It turned around and transformed into a human form, appearing in front of Chu Chen.
"Fellow Daoist Lingxiao, you are finally here."
When Toad Demon Tuntian saw Chu Chen, a half-smiling expression appeared on his face, and he teased:
"Is the magic pill useful? Guaguagua~"
Chu Chen looked embarrassed.
Last night, he gave a serious lesson to Tuntian and the two black wind demons. The water of the immortal elixir is too deep, and you two demons cannot control Yunyun.
As a result, before the whole night passed, he approached Tuntian to buy the elixir.
What is this called?
This is called the magical elixir. The water is too deep. You can't control it anymore. Let the poor Taoist come.
This is a perfect villain script, and it's the kind that hits you in the face at the speed of light.
However, in order to get things done and prevent the tragedy from happening again for thousands of families, he still managed to save a little face.
"Ahem~ Pindao went back and asked around. It turns out that many people take the magic pill. I misunderstood. I apologize."
Chu Chen made up a sentence casually.
"I had guessed that you would come back to me."
Tuntian grinned, then put away the smile on his face and stopped teasing, for fear of making Chu Chen unhappy.
As the saying goes, many friends mean many paths.
It was very optimistic about Chu Chen and felt that this Taoist friend was expected to become a monk with great supernatural powers in the future, or be at the center of the Immortal Court, or be a high official in a border area, with vast supernatural powers and overwhelming power.
It's too late for him to fawn over this kind of hidden dragon, so how can he offend him?
After befriending this kind of latent dragon, one day the flying dragon will be in the sky. Not to mention how much blessings it will be given, at least it will be able to take care of it.
Not to mention anything else, as long as it does not violate the taboos of the Immortal Court and commits major crimes, it will have the opportunity to save its life at the critical moment with this incense love.
Thinking of this, Toad Jingtuntian quickly found a step for Chu Chen and said:
"Fellow Taoist Lingxiao, you're too polite. In fact, I also doubted the magical elixir at first, and it made a joke at one time. I understand it deeply."
"Really"
Tuntian was very understanding of human nature and the atmosphere was quite harmonious after what he said.
The man and the demon didn't chat much, and soon Tuntian took Chu Chen to a valley in the mountains that was shrouded in clouds and mist and never saw the sun all day long.
"Old ghost! This great sage has introduced business to you. Hurry up and welcome the guests!"
Not long after, in the dark valley, a gust of sinister wind swept over, and a human-shaped ghost cultivator with a horn on his head came stepping on the evil spirit.
This one-horned ghost cultivator must have a seventh-level Taoist practice and possess extraordinary supernatural powers. When it saw Chu Chen, its face instinctively showed a look of caution.
Tuntian was polite to Chu Chen, even a little fawning, but in front of the fairies and ghosts in the mountains, he was very proud:
"Old ghost, what are you looking at! This is Fellow Taoist Lingxiao, a friend of this great sage for many years, not an outsider. Put down your vigilance and don't offend the distinguished guests!"
When Chu Chen was introduced, Tuntian felt quite proud for some reason, subconsciously feeling that it was extremely honorable to know Chu Chen and become friends with him.
Chu Chen quickly answered the words and was quite polite:
"Fellow Taoist, Taoist Taoist Tuntian asked me to take the elixir last night. It's very effective. I'd like to buy some more if I'm interested."
Hearing this, the one-horned ghost cultivator looked up and down at the man and the demon. Then he felt relieved and invited people into the valley to entertain them.
"Old fellow Taoist ghost, how do you sell this magical elixir?"
Just as the old one-horned ghost was about to speak, Toad Spirit Tuntian spoke:
"Five thousand pills, old ghost, don't talk nonsense. I've asked around, and this is the lowest price outside. I don't care if you sold it too high before. Now my friend is asking for pills, and you have to pay this price no matter what."
The one-horned old ghost smiled bitterly and finally nodded:
"Okay, Senior Ling Xiao, five thousand, how many do you want?"
Chu Chen nodded secretly, five thousand a piece was not cheap anymore, the ones Tuntian bought before were even more expensive, which proved that Tuntian and Black Wind were quite generous.
"How many do you have on hand?"
Chu Chen asked calmly.
When the one-horned old ghost heard this, he suddenly became energetic and the big customer came.
"I have sold a lot of elixirs in the past few days, and there are only thirty left. If you want, I can give them to you. If they are not enough, new ones will be available in two days."
When Chu Chen heard this, he immediately became interested and asked casually:
"Your magical elixir sells really well. I heard that many fellow Taoists in Qingzhou City are taking it."
The one-horned old ghost "Jie Jie" laughed strangely:
"Yes, the sales in Zhoucheng City are very good, and the supply exceeds the demand. I'm afraid, senior, you can't buy it in the city, so why not come to Longling Mountain?"
Chu Chen smiled and said nothing.
The one-horned ghost cultivator in front of me looks like a small figure in front of the stage, and there must be someone supplying him behind the scenes.
If you follow this clue, you will surely gain something.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen waved his hand and said:
"Okay, I'll wrap up your thirty magic pills."
The one-horned ghost cultivator burst into laughter when he saw Chu Chen's generosity.
"Senior is so courageous!"
"Fellow Taoist Lingxiao, you are really rich."
Tuntian's face was full of envy.
Chu Chen smiled. If it weren't for the purpose of getting the marriage done and for the old ghost to contact his family, he wouldn't be a big culprit and spend money to die.
"Brother Tuntian, there is an emergency in the city, I will leave first."
Toad Jing Tuntian stuck out his tongue out of habit and said, "Hey, I originally wanted to treat fellow Taoist Ling Xiao to a drink. Since you have something to do, don't delay. We'll talk about it next time."
"Okay, let's talk about it next time!"
After saying that, Chu Chen left without chatting and drove away in the three-color auspicious cloud.
Halfway through the flight, Chu Chen used [White Crane and Purple Zhi Escape] and turned into a white crane, turning back and flying towards the gloomy valley.
Not long after, Chu Chen turned into green grass and hid in the valley, waiting for the one-horned ghost cultivator to contact his home.
"Senior brother, be sure to let him spit out all the money with interest later. Fifteen thousand jade can buy a lot of incense. It's such a waste of incense."
The little devil was filled with indignation and murderous intent.
Chu Chen was bored waiting, so he joked:
"Little devil, how much incense can you buy with 150,000 jade? If you answer correctly, I will reward you with 10,000 jade incense."
a long time.
The little kid had a tangled look on his face and was about to burst into tears: "Brother, you are making things too difficult for me."
