Chapter 98: Illusion Demon Liquid

As long as Gu Yao is not pushed to the forefront, plus the fact that Chi Changye can see that Gu Yao is also very tempted after listening, he did not make another move to stop it.The people on Danfeng Mountain were not on guard and did not intend to harm those who were unconscious, so after bribing a few people, Jiang Yan smoothly got what he wanted and personally delivered it to Gu Yao.Gu Yao did not avoid Xu Chen and initially asked for the help of Senior Xu Chen. Although he was a master of potion in the interstellar world in his previous life, the world of cultivation in this life is much broader and more vast than his previous life. There are many things he has not come into contact with, and he would not be arrogant based on the abilities of his previous life, otherwise, what would be the difference between him and those alchemists on Danfeng Mountain?Using homemade instruments and after a series of refining steps, Gu Yao obtained a tube of eerie blue liquid."Senior, is this the Illusion Demon Liquid that caused those students to fall into a coma?"Xu Chen observed through Gu Yao's eyes: "It is and it isn't. Although it has been refined many times, it is still not pure. However, it's already quite an achievement to get to this step. It's just a pity that to refine the antidote pill for Illusion Demon Liquid, your current level is not enough."When Jiang Yan brought the blood from the unconscious students for the first time, Xu Chen immediately recognized the cause of their coma, because they had absorbed a special poison, Illusion Demon Liquid, which can blend into the air colorlessly and tastelessly, and be inhaled by people unguardedly. By the time it is discovered, it's too late.The greatest toxicity of Illusion Demon Liquid is that it can slowly corrode a cultivator's spiritual consciousness and then destroy a person's sea of consciousness. Therefore, after recognizing it, Xu Chen did not allow Gu Yao to use his own spiritual consciousness to come into contact with this substance, to avoid contamination."Illusion Demon Liquid, produced by the Illusion Demon Vine, is the juice from the Illusion Demon Vine. They should feel lucky that what they encountered was an Illusion Demon Vine with less than a thousand years of age. Otherwise, they would not be able to walk out of the range of the Illusion Demon Vine and would become nourishment for the Illusion Demon Vine. Of course, it is extremely difficult for the Illusion Demon Vine to break through a thousand years, as it requires special growth conditions."Listening to Xu Chen's introduction, Gu Yao guessed: "Does this mean that there are places in the Quqiu Mountain Range where Illusion Demon Vines grow, and they accidentally entered causing the current situation? Was this incident man-made or an accident? The previous anomalies should be related to this, right?"Xu Chen had not seen the scene and could not judge whether it was man-made or accidental, but he said: "Actually, Illusion Demon Liquid has another effect...""What is it?" Gu Yao asked curiously, wondering what kind of effect made Xu Chen hesitant to mention it until now."Have you heard of the legends of the ancient hundred tribes?" Xu Chen asked.Gu Yao pondered differently: "I've read some books that mention it as a legend, but what does it have to do with the hundred tribes?"Xu Chen sighed and said: "In ancient times, there was a special race that I have only seen in books, called the Illusion Demon Race. The Illusion Demon Race was naturally good at cultivating Illusion Demon Vines and extracting Illusion Demon Liquid to enhance their cultivation and combat enemies. But let alone the Illusion Demon Race, even the Illusion Demon Vine, I have never seen in my life. I didn't expect it to appear in such a place. Gu Yao, do you remember I mentioned that a female cultivator seemed to have a special bloodline?"Gu Yao's pupils shrank slightly: "Yes, I remember Senior mentioned it." He was referring to Bai Xiuer, a fellow student who entered the academy with them, who was particularly good at making delicious flower cakes. Now thinking about it, he would specifically go to buy them as snacks.Xu Chen said, "I guess she is one of the remnants of the ancient hundred tribes. Of course, it's very likely that her bloodline is very thin. She is relatively good at tending to flowers, and perhaps this Tianfu Academy itself is a refuge for these remnants, and there are more than just that female cultivator with special bloodlines, right? Gu Yao, haven't you noticed?"Noticed? How could Gu Yao say? He scratched his head in confusion; he himself also carried a special bloodline, having come to this Tianfu Academy by a fluke. However, the bloodline he carried was not so easy to activate. The original body's uncle left a method, but several of the required items were rare treasures. At that auction, he was lucky to encounter one and successfully bid for it, but he had no leads on the others yet.Xu Chen continued to speculate: "It seems that this Tianlin Continent is special, perhaps this is the last remnant of the ancient hundred tribes. However, the cultivation environment here is getting worse, and perhaps after thousands or tens of thousands of years, these special bloodlines will all disappear."Xu Chen felt some regret. When he first guessed this speculation, he was quite excited, having the chance to witness the ancient hundred tribes of legend, even if it was just the remnants with thin bloodlines. It is said that some tribes are good at cultivating various spiritual flowers, some are good at cultivating spiritual herbs, which are innate talents and skills, different from today's spiritual plant cultivators."Cough cough," Gu Yao quickly brought Xu Chen's wandering thoughts back, "Senior, we were discussing Illusion Demon Liquid, as well as the possibility of removing it to treat the unconscious cultivators.""Oh," Xu Chen's voice carried a hint of regret, as if he still wanted to continue the discussion, "It's both easy and not easy. If there were Illusion Demon Race members here, it would be very easy to resolve the crisis of those people. But as I said before, detoxifying is not easy, maybe after you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you can try.""Can't other methods be used?" Gu Yao asked."You can try." Xu Chen said with a smile.Of course, Gu Yao would try. Giving up without trying was not his style. Moreover, Xu Chen did not understand the world of his previous life. Although people in the interstellar world could not fly through the sky or escape through the earth with their physical bodies, nor could they achieve immortality through cultivation, the interstellar world also had its own unique aspects. Not to mention that his mental strength compared to spiritual consciousness was like having a natural divine ability, the insect race, humanity's natural enemy in the interstellar world, was somewhat different from the insects in the cultivation world. In order to deal with the insect race, research on potions also had its unique aspects.Mental strength seemed to be the most mysterious existence, yet in the struggle against the insect race, potions related to mental trauma and mental recovery had long been developed and continuously improved by later generations.

Chi Changye stood beside Gu Yao, holding a transparent test tube in his hand, and the liquid inside the test tube gradually turned red."Jiang Shixiong." Gu Yao still had a happy expression on his face. When he saw Jiang Yan calling someone, Chi Changye also nodded slightly and quickly turned his gaze back to Gu Yao."Jiang Shixiong, have you heard of the Illusionary Elixir?" Gu Yao handed the test tube to Chi Changye. This time, the results were most ideal, but whether it could be successful or not had to be tested on the poisoned person.Jiang Yan's face trembled. Illusionary Elixir? He murmured, "Could it be that they were poisoned by the Illusionary Elixir? No wonder, no wonder they have these symptoms. Since Junior Brother Gu knows, can you cure it?"Gu Yao hesitated and said, "Whether it can be cured or not depends on whether anyone dares to try it. After all, I have never come into contact with this thing before. I can only study it based on the blood samples brought by Shixiong. I can't say for sure how effective it will be."Jiang Yan was overjoyed, "Junior Brother Gu, give me the elixir. I will find an opportunity to have someone take it. It can't be worse than the current situation, right?"Gu Yao nodded, "Yes, the worst-case scenario is the current situation. There won't be any worsening of the condition."Having researched and developed the remedy himself, Gu Yao was confident. He believed there was a seventy to eighty percent chance of curing the poison in those people. The remaining task was to rehabilitate and recover from the injuries. If he took charge of the people, perhaps he could restore them to their original state.Jiang Yan was even more delighted, "Thank you, Junior Brother Gu. I will take care of it."Gu Yao didn't delay any longer. After organizing his confirmed prescription, he started the alchemy process in the alchemy furnace. Chi Changye then asked Jiang Yan and the others to leave the alchemy room and wait outside.Whether the antidote took the form of a potion or an elixir, it was not a problem for Gu Yao. Therefore, he quickly refined a batch of elixirs, and Xu Chen watched in admiration from the spatial realm.
