Zheng Yichen smiled and handed a dical report to Lin Yaoyao. After reading it, Lin Yaoyao showed a troubled expression, "That sandworm must be terrifying..."
"Compared to the terrifying sandworm, I’m more surprised that you can understand this report?" Zheng Yichen said to Lin Yaoyao who had concluded.
"Brother Chang Qing~ I’ve also studied in other worlds, of course, I can understand these simple reports." Lin Yaoyao expressed so minor displeasure. She had been working very hard in her dical studies, although she had gone sowhat astray in her original intentions because of her parents’ issues.
She even began researching poisonous concoctions, but... she had never slacked off in the main areas that she needed to learn.
Understanding such a small report was simply too easy, especially since this report was obviously processed additionally, not intended for professionals to read, but specifically for layn like Zheng Yichen.
If she couldn’t understand it, wouldn’t all her previous studies be in vain?
Only by understanding did she realize how special this hallucinogenic substance was. Poisons generally act continuously to cause damage within the target’s body, while so people with strong Inner Strength are able to briefly or completely isolate the effects of the poison.
After isolating the poison, they use the blood serving as a carrier to expel it from the body. Blood Asura inner force is very effective in this respect, but the hallucinogen contained within Zheng Yichen’s blood was directly integrated into his body.
Unless one’s Inner Strength control could reach a higher precision of ticulous operation, it would be difficult to isolate the effects of such a hallucinogen, let alone remove it. Once rged into the body, any additional stimulation to the body could potentially cause changes in the hallucinogenic substance.
And these changes were linked to the body’s own changes, so attacking the poison with another poison wasn’t effective unless that poison also had the characteristic of high-degree intricate integration.
The effects of this hallucinogenic substance... were simply disgusting.
According to the report, in a certain amount, it would not be lethal and even soone with strong constitution might recover from it, but the effects
could persist for a long ti before recovery. The report also ntioned that the purpose of this hallucinogenic substance was to store food for the producer of the hallucinogen.
"Does that an that if we continue practicing with Brother Chang Qing’s blood, we will inevitably be affected by this hallucinogen?" Liu Hongzhao was concerned about this issue.
Lin Yaoyao frowned slightly in thought, "We should be affected..."
"This hallucinogen has been integrated with Brother Chang Qing’s blood. Even if we transform it during our practice, we cannot guarantee the complete removal of the hallucinogenic component. We could try a small amount."
"...Do you guys really want to try it?"
Zheng Yichen’s eyelid twitched – his intention was not for this to happen. At other tis, he wouldn’t mind providing his blood for martial arts training, as his unique blood was precious and rare to so special entities, but for Zheng Yichen, it wasn’t valuable.
What others found rare, for him, was naturally produced. He wasn’t the type whose strength depended on his blood, that would diminish with blood loss. If they had a need, Zheng Yichen could simply take a jar and let out a lot of blood, then head to the southern forest or hunt anomalies.
No extra recovery needed.
"Because when practicing with Brother Chang Qing’s blood, there’s a feeling of being embraced by Brother Chang Qing," Liu Hongzhao whispered, "So I want to try it."
"Let’s start with just a little bit then."
Although the hallucinogenic substance was potent, Lin Yaoyao’s analysis wasn’t far off; there indeed was so residual effect from practicing with the blood, but this was not the direct absorption of the hallucinogen. The Blood Asura’s cultivation was not simply about bloodsucking.
Though the martial arts did involve a part related to ’bloodsucking,’ that kind of bloodsucking forcibly took others’ blood to replace the depletion caused by a Blood Sacrifice Burst, desperately using others’ blood for Blood Combustion Transform to Origin.
In regular combat training, it was about transforming the enemy’s blood into a type of inner force akin to the Blood Asura’s, which was then refined by the Blood Asura inner force. Such a way of bloodsucking was also like using external blood as coal, the heat emitted from its burning forging and enhancing one’s own physical power.
And in battle, the fighting spirit emitted by the enemy served as a catalyst, making the coal burn even hotter.
In any case, the influence was minor, but Zheng Yichen looked at Liu Hongzhao, whose eyes seed a bit cloudy, the corner of his eye twitching slightly. He didn’t know what the girl had seen, while Lin Yaoyao couldn’t help but start crying. They were affected, but clearly not as severely as Zheng Yichen had been initially.
Even though they still had clear self-awareness, the effect of the hallucinogen was not solely ntal.
It primarily exerted influence on the body, and even if one’s spirit was strong enough to withstand the ntal issues caused by the body being affected, the physical influences were unavoidable. Just as a person with a strong spirit still cannot force their eyes to see if the optic nerve is damaged, nor could they prevent a wound from bleeding. That was the truly nauseating aspect of this sandworm hallucinogen.
They were ntally alert, yet their bodies, being affected, still inevitably produced so ’illusions.’"
"This stuff is way too extre," comnted Qi Xiangyun as she watched the reaction of the two of her age, her mouth twitching. She hadn’t practiced cultivation, mainly because one of them needed to stay alert, and also because tomorrow was the day when Yi Nan and Zheng Yichen would get better. If Liu Hongzhao and Lin Yaoyao did not recover, her being normal could at least keep the situation steady.
She wouldn’t let Zheng Yichen’s next actions be delayed. Additionally, Zheng Yichen had ntioned this to her during a al not long ago. At the ti, she didn’t take it too seriously because, after all, Zheng Yichen wouldn’t harm her.
But now it seed... this stuff was genuinely formidable, and Liu Hongzhao, among the three, had the most resolute will, yet even she couldn’t resist it.
"You can extract a portion of the hallucinogen from my blood and store it," said Zheng Yichen.
Lin Yaoyao quickly nodded her head, as she would not refuse such a kind offer from Zheng Yichen.
"Whew—I’m fine." After a while, Liu Hongzhao finally spoke up. Her eyes flickered between being unfocused and sharply focused, as she, with a clear state of mind, tried hard to break free from those ’illusions.’
But hallucinations that physically manifested were not so easy to shake off. A resilient spirit could slightly influence the body, but the effects brought on by hallucinogens couldn’t be eased through normal bodily regulation.
She saw very beautiful hallucinatory scenes, which nearly lted her heart, yet these scenes also jolted her, making her ntal state even colder, as she knew that so of the things pictured would never materialize!
"I want to know, Brother Chang Qing, how did you resist these illusions at first?"
