Chapter 268: The Red Domain Xiao Clan is destroyed, the raw materials for the longevity pill
Li Changxiao only gave this charming woman a light punishment, allowing her to experience the truth of ten reincarnations, but it was enough to terrify her.
Li Changxiao saw it all and felt a little sad in his heart. The other party's Taoism was weakened. If this charming woman really wanted to experience the complete meaning of the dream, she would probably die on the spot.
The charming woman's lips were trembling constantly. She dared not hide anything and told everything she could.
It turned out that this alluring woman's real name was Lin Shi. Before her spiritual energy was exhausted, she was a casual cultivator. She also worked hard all the way and cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage.
This respect is very similar to Li Changxiao.
Three hundred and fifty-three years of seeking change.
By chance, she came into contact with the Way of Stealing Life and became a black market merchant on this longevity road, using this way to steal fate. However, the Way of Stealing Life is not the Way of Taking Life, and the black market merchants of the Way of Stealing Life do not possess terrifying killing power like the warriors of the "Way of Passing Through the Acupoints", so they have always kept a low profile.
Mainly selling various things.
The things they sell are often very cheap.
One part is paid in money, and the other part is paid in life span. Of course, the buyer is unaware of the mystery.
The things sold by black market merchants cannot be bought everywhere, such as silk, rice... these daily necessities, even if they are sold cheaply or even given away, cannot steal your life.
Only rare and precious items sold at low prices can "steal lives" be effective.
This is one of the secret rules of black market traders.
Therefore, it is not easy to be a black market merchant. One must have a wide network of contacts, collect strange and eccentric things from all over, and have people to buy them.
"It's all for survival." Lin Shi said helplessly. Fortunately, this method was useful. The fact that she did not show any signs of old age was the best proof.
However, this brings up another problem.
Black market merchants often face the situation of having nothing to sell and no one to buy.
Firstly, it is difficult to get rare and exotic items, and secondly, the customer base is unstable.
The milky white pill sold by Lin Shi is called "Longevity Pill". It is a new product launched a hundred years ago. It is said that eating it can prolong life and the effect is very good. It has been continuously improved over the years, which can be seen from the color of the pill.
But she didn't know who refined it.
At that time, a mysterious merchant spread the news and was looking for someone to sell this pill. Many people competed for the sales rights, but in the end, the black market merchant Lin Shi won it by offering her beauty.
After obtaining the longevity pill, Lin Shi came to Lijiu City and sold it at a low price. Unfortunately, she failed to "steal life" with the longevity pill. She didn't know why it didn't work. Logically speaking, this longevity pill was a rare item.
Later, Lin Shi changed her strategy and used elixirs of longevity to lure those wealthy businessmen into buying the rare items she had collected from all over. In this way, she would no longer have trouble finding buyers for her rare items and she had a stable customer base.
By the way, you can sell the longevity pill at a high price through auction and make a lot of money.
Li Changxiao asked, "This elixir can prolong life, have you ever taken it yourself?"
Lin Shi shook his head. One of the secret rules of the Ghost Market merchants was that since the goods were commodities, the Ghost Market merchants could not use them themselves, otherwise the stolen life spans would be mixed up and there might be bigger troubles.
Li Changxiao asked again: "In your opinion, is this longevity pill useful?"
"Of course there is." Lin Shi did not dare to hide it, "It can make mortals live longer, otherwise those elderly people would have died of old age and turned into dust long ago."
"Then do you know that the strange disease in the city recently was caused by this longevity pill?" Li Changxiao asked with a faint smile, looking at Lin Shi vaguely.
Lin Shi did not dare to hide it. Although this man's performance had been extremely stable, even dull, so far, that invisible deterrent force had always been like an invisible hand, tightly grasping her heart.
"Guess... I guessed a little." Lin Shi replied, "But they don't take the path of longevity. They are just ordinary mortals. Just by taking a few pills, they can live longer than others. Even if they die of illness in the end, it's not a loss."
After Lin Shi finished speaking, she felt a little nervous, but to her surprise, the man opposite her actually nodded in agreement.
The source of the strange disease has been figured out.
Actually, here.
The strange illness case in Lijiu City has come to an end.
But what happened afterwards is what Li Changxiao really wants to know.
He asked, "I remember you mentioned before... the Red Domain Xiao Clan... the ancestral lineage... and other words. Can you tell me more about it?"
"You don't know?" Lin Shi was obviously stunned, "You are not from the Xiao family in the Red Domain?"
"Of course not." Li Changxiao shook his head.
Lin Shi murmured, "This is strange. Even if you are not from the Red Domain Xiao family, you should know about this. That incident caused quite a stir."
Li Chang smiled but said nothing. He certainly didn't know that he had been seeking change for more than 70 years and had been dormant for 457 years.
A time span of nearly four hundred years.
He missed a lot of news.
Lin Shi did not dare to delve into it, so he just said, "The Xiao family in the Red Domain has been destroyed, and its members are scattered all over the place."
"Destroyed?" Li Changxiao was stunned and his pupils shrank.
"Yes."
Lin Shi said, "After the spiritual energy dried up, the Xiao clan members in the Red Domain went into demonic possession for no apparent reason. And it wasn't just one person, but many people. It's really ironic that this family, which is known as the 'Wind' family in the world, would be possessed by demons. As a family possessed by demons, the harm is naturally huge. If left unchecked, it will endanger countless people."
"Tens of thousands of cultivators formed a team to attack and wiped out the Xiao family in the Red Region with lightning speed. They paid a heavy price and some cultivators died as a result."
"The descendants of the Xiao family are scattered all over the place. Some of them resent the cultivators of the world and are waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, while others are hiding."
When Lin Shi saw Li Changxiao performing the Fuhua technique, he mistakenly thought that he was a member of the Xiao family, seeking revenge on the cultivators of the world.
Li Changxiao frowned, then he asked a few more questions and learned that at noon tomorrow, the mysterious merchant who produced the "longevity pill" would give Lin Shi new goods to sell.
Li Changxiao's mind moved, and he decided to follow Lin Shi to meet the mysterious businessman.
……
The next day.
noon.
Lin Shi met the mysterious merchant in a corner of Lijiu City. The other party was dressed in black and his true face could not be seen clearly. He handed over money and goods to Lin Shi.
Li Changxiao followed the mysterious merchant and walked about ten miles.
Came to a valley.
This valley is covered with dense trees, which block the view. The terrain is also very unusual, blocking out the sky and the sun, and mixed with a bit of filth and dirt.
In short.
Those who occupy this place usually have bad intentions.
Deep in the valley, there is a building, a fiery red bamboo building. The bamboo has a long history. It is a fire-resistant bamboo grown in another dangerous place: a barren fire land. According to Li Changxiao's understanding, this bamboo is also one of the raw materials for making black fire ropes.
Li Changxiao's body was covered by a flash of blue light, and a spiritual energy that seemed real and fake covered his entire body. It seemed as if all traces of him were completely wiped out.
This is another wonderful use of “true and false conversion”.
The breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation Realm brought him a huge improvement. In Li Changxiao's opinion, the Spirit Transformation through Ten Divine Essences was not his greatest achievement.
He blew another breath of air and pinched the "Heavenly Seal" with his left hand. The "Heavenly Seal" was one of the Ten Immortal Seals. The Ten Immortal Seals could be used together or separately, and they were all wonderful methods with endless uses.
The Fuhua Wind turned into the Tianyin Wind, and wherever it blew, Li Changxiao could see every detail.
He spread this message to all directions.
Inside the scarlet bamboo building, the first thing that caught my eye was a huge cauldron, scarlet in color, and as tall as three people, with a fire burning brightly underneath.
Next, there were several men adding firewood to the bottom of the furnace, and next to the furnace, there were some corpses piled up.
"This wind is quite comfortable." The high temperature in the bamboo building made the men sweat. At this moment, a gust of wind blew from outside, which brought them some coolness.
Li Changxiao could vaguely see that Mr. Wang's body was among the corpses, pressed at the bottom.
He was right.
The raw material of this longevity pill is indeed... "human"
To be precise, it refers to people who have lived for more than a hundred years.
A hundred years is a natural chasm.
Only those who live over a hundred years can be used as medicine.
The reason why the bodies of Mr. Wang and his servants disappeared was because they were also the raw materials of the "longevity pill".
The reason why this longevity pill causes strange diseases.
I'm afraid it has something to do with the raw materials.
There may be people suffering from chronic diseases who were used as medicine by them.
