Chapter 299 The most poisonous poison
Following Elder Sun flying down the platform, we walked into the picturesque Zhishen Valley again.
Qin Ran looked around and saw the disciples of Zhishen Valley busy in the spiritual fields on the roadside. He chatted with Elder Sun and said, "The cultivation of spiritual medicine is really a big deal."
"Yes." Elder Sun nodded in approval, "Many spiritual medicines can only grow in a specific environment and cannot be cultivated in spiritual fields. No matter how good the spiritual plant master is, he can't cultivate them."
"From this point of view, the cultivation of spiritual medicines has indeed affected the development of alchemy." Qin Ran said.
"Oh, no..." Elder Sun was stunned and smiled, "In my opinion, if spiritual fields cannot be cultivated, someone needs to be found to buy them, and the cost of alchemy will be much higher."
When the cost is high, the profit from selling pills will be less. Qin Ran looked at Elder Sun and knew what he meant.
He wanted to talk about the future of spiritual medicine cultivation, but Elder Sun said this, and he shut up consciously.
Qin Ran looked at the scenery in the valley and suddenly found that there were more people in the valley than the last time he came, and the traffic was busier. There were more people reciting medicinal materials and pharmacology on the benches on the roadside.
"Is there something big happening in the valley?" he asked Elder Sun.
"Elder Qin has a good eye!" Elder Sun praised, "In a few months, at the end of the year, it will be the Medicine God Ceremony of Zhishen Valley, which is held once every sixty years. At that time, it will take almost a whole twelve months to conduct an assessment to examine the three abilities of the new disciples in terms of academic, alchemy, and martial arts."
"Like these..." He pointed to the disciples who were concentrating on studying, "These are all children who cram at the last minute."
Medicine God Ceremony?
Qin Ran had heard of this, and it was the same as the Dao Jianmen's knocking on the door. However, the Dao Jianmen was simple and rough, and they just fought and finished it, while the Zhishen Valley side had more tricks because of the alchemists.
"Another group of great alchemists have come out!" He congratulated politely.
However, upon hearing this news, his mind had already been racing.
Medicine God Sacrifice?
Isn't this the right time to do something? !
If the assessment is messed up, or... all the disciples who are taking the assessment are poisoned to death, won't the entire generation of disciples in Zhisheng Valley be cut off soon?
Thinking of this, Qin Ran couldn't help but get a little excited, and immediately began to plan an action plan...
No, you can't do this!
He stopped his thoughts in time.
It was not because of anything else, but because he suddenly remembered that when Daojianmen knocked on the door in front of the Dao, Jian Yuanjie was undercover to that extent, but he didn't dare to do it. This shows that a sect attaches great importance to such occasions. This time is suitable for doing something, he knows, and Zhisheng Valley also knows that Zhisheng Valley's defense will be unprecedentedly high.
This idea will be temporarily shelved...
However, Qin Ran suddenly thought of another plan that is somewhat feasible.
After the knocking on the door in front of the Dao, it is the time for Daojianmen to accept a new generation of disciples. Then after the Medicine God Sacrifice, it must be the time for Zhisheng Valley to widely accept disciples.
Since Zhisheng Valley can place undercover agents in Daojianmen, why doesn't Qin Ran place undercover agents in Zhisheng Valley?
After the Medicine God Ceremony, Zhisheng Valley will be at its peak of recruiting disciples...
"Elder Qin? Elder Qin?!"
Just as he thought of this, he suddenly heard Elder Sun calling him. He quickly came to his senses and looked at Elder Sun with a smile on his face, asking, "What's the matter, Elder Sun?"
"What good things are you thinking about, Elder Qin? The smile on your face is a little scary." Elder Sun looked at him and said, "I called you several times, but you didn't respond."
"Ahaha, I remembered something happy." Qin Ran returned to his normal expression.
This was the first time Elder Sun had seen Qin Ran's face-changing technique. He was secretly shocked and directly regarded Qin Ran as a strong opponent.
He asked Qin Ran with a smile: "What's the happy news? Elder Qin, I'm happy to hear it out."
"My wife gave birth... Ahem! It's something private..." Qin Ran perfunctorily passed it off and asked, "What did Elder Sun call me for just now?"
Elder Sun didn't ask further and followed Qin Ran's words and said, "If Elder Qin is not in a hurry, how about we drink and have fun tonight and talk about the elixir tomorrow?"
"As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. When you are in Elder Sun's territory, you will naturally listen to Elder Sun." Qin Ran said.
"Elder Qin is straightforward!" Elder Sun really admired Qin Ran a little. No matter if he was stupid or arrogant, he was poisoned by him last time, but he dared to agree to his banquet this time. He praised, "What a generous man!"
So, the two talked, each with his followers, and went to the pavilion again... the cafeteria.
At the banquet, the host and the guest sat down according to their status. Yan Yi sat next to Qin Ran, sitting obediently, like a kindergarten kid... If he put his hands behind his back, it would be even more like that.
During the banquet, Yan Yi was trembling, and every word and action was like walking on thin ice. Qin Ran didn't drink, so he didn't drink. He dared to eat the dishes that Qin Ran had eaten.
All this had a reason. He remembered what Qin Ran had told him before they arrived at Zhishen Valley:
"The danger of purchasing mainly comes from Zhishen Valley. And in Zhishen Valley, there are masters of playing with poison. If you can prevent poison, you will be 90% safe. "You have eaten my Hundred Poison Pills, so ordinary poisons will not work on you. But this is not 100% safe, you still need to pay attention to other things.
"Don't eat anything that I haven't eaten, such as tea, wine, rice, vegetables, etc. Don't touch anything in the valley, plants, animals, tables, chairs, etc. Don't talk to people easily when I'm not around..."
"Is it really that dangerous?" He couldn't believe it.
"For the sake of your life, you'd better be careful." The head monk warned.
In this way, the whole banquet lasted for several hours, and he didn't dare to drink a single sip of wine, because his wine was in his cup, Qin Ran didn't drink it, but only ate a few bites of vegetables.
When someone asked about it, Qin Ran helped him cover up and said, "This child has been fasting recently, so it's not convenient for him to eat too much." No one paid much attention to him.
After the banquet, Qin Ran was drunk, and Yan Yi carried him on his back and sent him to a resting place under the leadership of a disciple of Elder Sun.
Yan Yi put Qin Ran on the bed, and the disciple said to him: "Let's go, I'll take you to another room."
"No need..." Yan Yi refused directly, he smiled, "We are all cultivators, don't worry too much. The chief is drunk, so I will meditate here tonight and take care of the chief."
Since Zhishen Valley is so dangerous, he can't let the drunk chief be here alone at this time.
The disciple looked Yan Yi up and down, and didn't persuade him anymore. He just took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Yan Yi, saying: "He is a kind-hearted person. I have a good impression of you. This bottle of middle-grade Qi Gathering Pill will be given to you."
Yan Yi has used Qi Gathering Pills. Although it is only a low-grade Qi Gathering Pill, it is enough for him to imagine the efficacy of the middle-grade Qi Gathering Pill.
It can be known that as long as he takes this bottle of pills, he will break through to the middle stage of foundation building in a very short time.
He also clearly knows that in the future, he will take bottles of pills from this person that he never dared to think about before.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted. He couldn't even fool himself.
But he decided to refuse.
He avoided looking at the bottle of medium-grade Qi-gathering Pill and said, "This pill is too expensive. I can't afford it."
He added, "It's late at night. Please go back! Don't disturb the rest of the master."
The disciple didn't take the pill back. He put it on the cabinet beside the bed and smiled, "It's just a small token of my appreciation."
He bowed, left the room, and wished, "Sweet dreams."
However, Yan Yi was destined not to have a good dream tonight.
He looked at the bottle of Qi-gathering Pill in the dark, wandering between gods and demons.
