After listening to Han Duguan's description of the "crazy devil", three words came to Chu Chen's mind - Immortal Pill.
The symptoms of people who died suddenly were 80% to 90% similar to those who took the elixir. They were almost exactly the same.
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 case 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 elixir before his death.
To take a step back, the magical elixir is a panacea no matter what, it is very valuable, and ordinary people have no access to it.
"Could it be that the common people are infected with madness because they come into contact with practitioners who take magical elixirs?"
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. Over time, the consequences will gradually become apparent.
But the weak ordinary people are different.
The madness enters the body, and the spirit is high every day. It is like taking a tonic medicine day and night. For a moment, you are excited, but in fact you are trading your life. The body will soon be exhausted, and finally die suddenly...
The thought came together, and he thought about it carefully, and it made more and 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 personally.
If the spread of "madness" came from the hands of demons, I am afraid that 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's scary to think about it.
The more Chu Chen thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
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 the elixir?]
...
The next day.
There is a mountain valley in Longling Mountain, full of green mountains and gurgling streams.
Chu Chen came 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 also taught the two demons Tuntian and Heifeng seriously that the water of the immortal elixir was too deep and you two demons could not control Yunyun.
As a result, before the 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 man 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 handle the case 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. Please forgive me."
Chu Chen made up a sentence casually.
"I had guessed 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 magical 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 making friends with 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 has this incense and love, and it is a chance to save its life at the critical moment.
Thinking of this, Toad Jingtuntian quickly found a step for Chu Chen and said:
"Fellow Taoist Lingxiao, you're too polite. In fact, I was also skeptical about the magical elixir at first, and it made me laugh at one point. I understand it very well..."
"Really..."
Tuntian is very understanding of human nature, and after what he said, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
One person and one demon didn't chat much, and soon Teng Tian 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, come out quickly to 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 with evil energy on his feet.
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. He is not an outsider. Put down your vigilance and don't offend our distinguished guests!"
When Chu Chen was introduced, Tuntian felt quite proud for some reason. Subconsciously, he felt that it was extremely honorable to know Chu Chen and become friends with him.
Chu Chen answered quickly and was quite polite:
"Fellow Taoist, Taoist Taoist Tuntian asked me to take the elixir last night. It is very effective. I am interested in purchasing some more."
Hearing this, the one-horned ghost cultivator looked at the man and the demon up and down, 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 one-horned old 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 the two demons Tuntian and Heifeng 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. The big customer came.
"I have sold a lot of magic pills in the past few days. There are only thirty pills 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 come to Longling Mountain."
Chu Chen smiled and said nothing.
The one-horned ghost cultivator in front of him looked 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 Daoist Lingxiao, you are really rich."
Tuntian's face was filled with envy.
Chu Chen smiled. If it weren't for handling the case and letting the old ghost contact his family, he wouldn't be the wrongdoer 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. Let's talk about it next time."
"Okay, let's talk about it next time!"
After saying that, Chu Chen left without any small talk, riding on the three-colored auspicious clouds.
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, you must let him spit out all the money with interest later. 150,000 jade coins can buy a lot of spiritual 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 so difficult for me..."
