568: Chapter 360: Terrifying Plague_2 568: Chapter 360: Terrifying Plague_2 Xu Yuan saw it, but his expression did not change, and he continued to rotate his cultivation technique while watching.
After a silent few monts,
Xu Yuan suddenly asked with all seriousness,
“This Jing Xuelan’s cultivation should be at the Great Grandmaster level, right?”
“Right.”
Luo Xiran replied softly, while raising a hand and placing it on the exposed abdon of Jing Xuelan.
The Black Death Mycelial Mat, transford into gossar, seeped through Jing Xuelan’s wounds and into her body.
Upon this action, as the foreign substance entered her body, Xu Yuan saw Jing Xuelan, laying flat on the stone bed, appear to be stimulated, her fair skin turning rosy, her feet clenched tightly, and her slender waist arching like a crescent moon.
Subconsciously increasing the speed of the rotation of his cultivation technique, Xu Yuan continued to ask in a low voice,
“Even a Great Grandmaster cannot escape this kind of dicine?”
“Isn’t there already an existing example?”
Lou Ji scanned him up and down with a pair of eyes, and cracked a frivolous smile,
“Also, Changtian, don’t you be harboring improper thoughts.
If you engage in deep intercourse with her, your cultivation level will definitely contract this epidemic…”
“Vulgar and dissolute.”
Before Lou Ji could finish speaking, Luo Xiran’s cold gaze had already swept over, her voice crisp and clear, “With the situation being so grave here, does Chief Lou still have the mind to speak such indecent words?”
“Oh?”
Lou Ji raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a hook.
Seeing her sister’s expression, Xu Yuan sighed inwardly.
It was starting again…
He should have expected this.
Luo Xiran and Lou Ji’s characters were almost two extres.
One, an old fossil who had stuck to rules for ten thousand years; the other, a rry person who flouts all conventions.
It would be strange if they didn’t fight.
While Xu Yuan was thinking this, Lou Ji suddenly retracted the frivolous smile from her face,
“Sir…
it seems you have discovered sothing?”
Although she enjoyed watching the fun, she was very clear about priorities.
Compared to refuting the other person, Jing Xuelan, who had been infected with the bizarre dicine at this mont, was indeed more important.
Luo Xiran also stopped condemning Lou Ji for her licentiousness, speaking softly,
“This blood-like secretion is different from what I originally thought.
It doesn’t act directly on the cultivator’s will-spirit.
The previous separation between will-spirit and physical body was just a secondary symptom.”
Saying this,
Luo Xiran’s expression was flat as she extended a finger and gently lifted the cloth that was partially covering Jing Xuelan’s shoulder, revealing the smooth and tender skin beneath.
What Xu Yuan saw was a patch of red that looked like a burn.
Circular, not large, roughly half an inch in diater.
Xu Yuan’s narrow eyes slightly squinted,
“Has Jing Xuelan been forcibly administered this dicine?”
“If it really was intentionally planted by soone, then there’s no need for such concern.”
Lou Ji shook her head but her eyes were full of seriousness, “She simply got infected by the blood of those afflicted when she was killing the diseased, and beca insane.”
“…..”
After a silent pause, Xu Yuan unconsciously licked the corner of his lips.
‘Cangyuan Chronicles’ described similar cases in the ten-thousand-man dungeon instance, but most of the strange dicine transmissions were to lower-rank cultivators.
After all, the level of the ten-thousand-man dungeon was not too high, rely a level forty-sothing quirky instance.
And now, it could actually contaminate a Great Grandmaster.
This matter,
seed to be getting bigger and bigger.
And the words from Lou Ji’s mouth did not stop, looking at the laid-out jade body in front of her, she said in a low voice,
“From when she got contaminated with the blood to becoming completely infected, it only took half a month.
“And also, Changtian,
“She could actually operate her cultivation to resist the spread of this epidemic, but she is unwilling to do so.”
“….” Xu Yuan was taken aback.
The light was dim, the storage quiet.
Lou Ji narrowed her eyes, slowly uttering four words,
“She revels in it.”
“…..” Xu Yuan fell silent.
After a while, Xu Yuan softly asked,
“How did you co to know of this?”
Lou Ji pointed to Jing Xuelan, who had stopped struggling on the stone bed,
“She told herself.”
“Is it credible?”
“Based on the ssages passed back by Zong Qingsheng and Yuan Hao, as well as the symptoms of several other people with the disease, what Jing Xuelan says can be believed.”
“…..”
After a brief silence, Xu Yuan’s expression turned slightly strange, “But why would she tell you about this?”
Lou Ji slightly pondered, sowhat uncertain, “Hmm…
probably because she finds it quite interesting.”
“….” Xu Yuan.
“Interesting, huh…”
Hearing this conjecture, Luo Xiran’s eyes betrayed no surprise.
After contemplating for a mont, she examined the differences between Jing Xuelan’s constitution and that of an ordinary person using the mycelial mat, while murmuring softly,
“If what Chief Lou said is true, that these plague-stricken people still possess their intelligence, only their sensuous desires have overwheld the rationality within their hearts?”
Lou Ji slightly nodded her head in agreent:
“You could say that.”
Luo Xiran lifted her hand from Jing Xuelan’s lower abdon and glanced at Lou Ji:
“I believe I understand now.
“Based on my investigation just now, this peculiar dicine is not too complex; it rely causes the physical changes due to the illness, leading to an altered consciousness, which in turn causes the will-spirit to beco chaotic.”
“….”
Xu Yuan stroked his chin, pondered for a mont, and roughly understood the aning of his sworn sister.
Change the body’s chanism to cause a change in cognitive awareness.
Before, lascivious as a demon; after, holy as a Buddha.
The state of the body can indeed influence a person’s cognitive judgnts.
Subconsciously glancing at the nearby Lou Ji, he saw a hint of sothing unusual in the elder sister’s eyes.
Lou Ji had not expected that the conclusion she had confird through various ans along the way, this ancient woman from ten thousand years ago, could casually deduce it during their light conversation….
Squinting her eyes slightly under the influence of the Dao Domain, Lou Ji could clearly sense those fine brown-red silks belonging to Luo Xiran systematically moving within Jing Xuelan’s body.
Realizing this, Lou Ji imdiately understood.
This was sothing she could not do.
Because this bizarre dicine from Wanyao Valley was highly contagious.
Although she could force her powerful Origin Qi into the other’s body for investigation, afterward, this Origin Qi would be contaminated.
If she were to take it back into her body, she too would be affected.
Perceiving Luo Xiran’s technique closely, Lou Ji suddenly laughed softly and asked,
“Your technique is truly exquisite, but would you be willing to make a deal with ?”
“Does Chief Lou wish to learn this thod of mine for controlling objects?”
Luo Xiran saw through the licentious woman’s intention and did not refuse, simply stating, “Learning this technique is quite simple, first, Chief Lou willingly becos a ghostified being, second, like , becos a spirit-charm fiend.”
Ghostification…
Lou Ji’s eyes, bright as the moon, sensed the red silk and spoke gravely,
“Is this…
the Black Death Mycelial Mat?”
Luo Xiran openly confird the other’s guess:
“Yes.”
“….”
Lou Ji’s eyes flickered for a mont, before she let out a deep sigh.
The Black Death Mycelial Mat, the object that arose in tandem with ghostification, surely would not be affected by its poison.
What a pity…
She was quite aware of how beneficial this mycelial mat was to the path of dicine.
Not only could it precisely control the variables of dical principles, but it could also ignore nearly all dicinal effects.
Such a tool was incomparable to any object.
Thinking this, Lou Ji’s enticing eyes still unconsciously reflected a hint of disappointnt.
And at that mont,
Xu Yuan suddenly interrupted,
“Sister, this mycelial mat can also be refined by ordinary people, but it requires a long-term supply of Origin Qi as nourishnt for it to consu.”
Lou Ji glanced toward Luo Xiran.
Luo Xiran did not conceal anything:
“What this youth says is true, but such a rudintary thod of refinent surely will not satisfy Chief Lou’s needs.”
Continuing,
She looked at the sensuous woman dressed provocatively before her and said seriously,
“You and I both know just how demanding the precision required for studying dicine is.”
Xu Yuan thought about the process of refining the Black Death Mycelial Mat initially and the sensation of the mat becoming a part of his body after ghostification, as if an extension of his limbs, and spoke softly,
“The thods of refinent can surely be improved…”
“Changtian…”
Lou Ji suddenly raised a jade finger to poke the cheek of the man beside her, the slender finger adorned with a ring bearing the image of a parrot and phoenix, with a charming smile,
“I appreciate your concern, brother.
Let’s leave the matter here for now~ You go deal with the matters regarding the two young girls upstairs, and leave the rest here to and your sworn sister~”
“….”
Xu Yuan looked at Lou Ji, then at Luo Xiran, and finally at Jing Xuelan, who was scantily clad.
After a mont of silence,
Knowing his presence would not be of any help, Xu Yuan turned and walked toward the door.
However, he made a ntal note of the matter regarding the mycelial mat.
Perhaps one day, through his complete ghostification experience, he might be able to surprise his elder sister.
