Alchemist Lu, Poison Master Lu, Poison Master
Lu Ping felt that he might have misunderstood Little B.
It turns out it hasn't changed at all.
It was Lu Ping himself who changed.
Therefore, Lu Ping chooses A.
[You chose A.]
[You begin refining the first batch of Spirit-Chaos Lure.]
[The Moon Palace Fire-Devouring Furnace landed, the Four-Legged Green Toad suppressed the Earthfire, and the Fire-Swallowing Patterns on the furnace's belly lit up, immediately confining the fire energy in the alchemy chamber.]
[The Artisan Spirit takes effect.]
[Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement effective.]
[My I Love Working is now in effect.]
[Overtime work effective.]
[Half a day later, the stove lid was opened.]
[Twelve portions of grayish-black medicinal powder are suspended on a jade plate; you only need to hand over one portion.]
[Seven days later, the first batch of combat records of the Spirit-Chaos Lure were sent back to the Third Medicine Camp.]
[The realms of Demon Race and Human Race differ somewhat.]
[Divided into the Spirit Awakening Stage, Core Condensation Stage, Transformation Stage, and Heavenly Demon Stage.]
[The Spirit Awakening Stage is equivalent to the Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment in the Human Race.]
[The Core Condensation Stage is equivalent to the transition from Golden Core to Nascent Soul in the Human Race.]
[The Transformation Stage is equivalent to the Human Race Spirit Transformation to Void Refining.]
[A five-person Foundation Establishment team, working in conjunction with the Spirit-Chaos Lure, counterattacked the encirclement composed of fifty Spirit Awakening Late Stage Demon Race.]
[A Demon Cultivator in the Early Condensation Core Stage was killed by a five-person Foundation Establishment team using the Spirit-Chaos Lure.]
[A Core Formation Late Stage Tiger Demon, having been poisoned by half of the Spirit-Chaos Lure, was beheaded by a Golden Core Sword Cultivator.]
The way they look at you in the Medicine Camp is starting to change.
Regardless of whether they are at the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, or Nascent Soul, they all politely address you as "Alchemist Lu".
[A month later, the battle reports from the Spirit-Chaos Lure piled up.]
[A Demon Race leader has ordered that anyone who smells the colorless, strange fragrance must immediately retreat thirty miles.]
[In the Third Medicine Camp, the title "Alchemist Lu" gradually became less common.]
More people are starting to call you "Master Lu" (a nickname implying madness or poison).
[The Spirit-Chaos Lure you submit daily has increased from one to two.]
[The Medicine Camp will no longer allocate you any other Pills quotas.]
[Chen Zhao, the Camp General the Third Medicine Camp, even granted Yi-Seven Alchemy Chamber a separate authority to source materials.]
Two months later, very few people in the Third Medicine Camp called you by name.
When they see you, they only whisper a single word.
"The Poison Master."
[You've gone from an ordinary Alchemist to a symbol: a poison master.]
[Chen Zhao, please set aside your exchange quota separately.]
"Lu Ping, you exceeded your target for the Spirit-Chaos Lure this month."
"According to wartime regulations, military merits can be exchanged for medicine."
What do you want?
[You hand over a Jade Slip.]
Chen Zhao took the Jade Slip and scanned it with his Divine Sense.
[The Jade Slip contains many medicinal herbs.]
[Marrow-Chaos Vine, Vein-Reversing Sand, Breath-Concealing Flower Sap, Azure Soul Root, Poison-Dissolving Leaf, Mysterious Bone Fungus, Seven-Star Rotten Wood...]
[Most of these are commonly used medicinal materials for treating Poison Pill.]
[Several herbs belonging to the Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder have been scattered among dozens of medicinal herbs by you.]
[Chen Zhao's expression remained unchanged when he saw what was ahead.]
[He paused for a moment after his Divine Sense swept over the last few lines.]
"The Yin-Yang Love-Tribulation Flower?"
He looked up at you.
[This herb is too conspicuous.]
Even without knowing the Pill Formula for the Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder, any Alchemist knows the medicinal properties of the Yin-Yang Love-Tribulation Flower: it incites passion, disrupts desire, and disturbs the mind.
[You said calmly,]
"Your subordinate wishes to try several types of mind-dispelling poisons."
"The bloodlines of the Demon Race are mixed; some fox demons, spider demons, and snake demons are born with aphrodisiac poisons."
"If we can deduce the medicinal properties, perhaps we can devise a method to suppress it."
Chen Zhao looked at you, but didn't speak immediately.
"Wartime Level 4 clearance, can be exchanged."
[Then, Chen Zhao said calmly.]
"The Medicine Camp gave you the herbs to refine elixirs, not to cause trouble."
"I don't need to ask how to test it in the Alchemy Chamber."
"Once you leave the Alchemy Chamber, if you cause any disciplinary problems, the War Oversight Office won't care whether you're Alchemist or not."
[You lower your head.]
"Your subordinate will keep this in mind."
Three days later, the medicinal herbs were delivered to Yi-Seven Alchemy Chamber.
[The other medicinal herbs are all stored in Storage Bags.]
[The Yin-Yang Love-Tribulation Flower was sealed separately in a jade box.]
[The petals are half crimson and half snow-white, with fine black lines running through them, emanating a cloying, warming sensation.]
[Effective for Heavy Tomato Users.]
[This is effective on Salty Fish.]
You were completely unaffected.
The young Alchemist delivering the medicine stood at the door; the moment he caught a whiff of its scent, his ears turned red.
He immediately used a hand seal to suppress his sense of smell and fled the Alchemy Chamber as if his life depended on it.
[Close the Alchemy Chamber.]
[The first batch of the Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder has begun.]
[The Moon Palace Fire-Devouring Furnace swallows the Southern Bright Separation Fire.]
[As the Crimson Desire Lotus Seed dissolved, pink medicinal mist rose from the furnace.]
[When the Heart-Locking Herb was placed in the furnace, the medicinal mist turned dark purple.]
[As soon as the Soul-Severing Vine landed, the poison-isolating array in the entire Alchemy Chamber trembled.]
[You threw the Yin-Yang Love-Tribulation Flower into the furnace.]
[Four Azure Toads on the furnace body open their mouths simultaneously.]
[The Artisan Spirit takes effect.]
[Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement effective.]
[My I Love Working is now in effect.]
[Overtime pay applies, triple earnings.]
[You have refined the first batch of the Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder, a total of three portions.]
[When the ash powder fell into the Jade Bottle, a layer of red patterns immediately appeared on the surface of the Jade Bottle.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Submit the Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder in exchange for military merit.]
[B: Personally took the Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder (断缘合欢散) to analyze its properties and deduce the antidote.]
[C: Find a high-level female demon/cultivator, feed her the Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder, then replicate the actions described in the 50,000-word text to increase your cultivation level.]
Lu Ping looked at B, and his teeth ached a little.
The Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder is said to specifically harm the foundations of female cultivators.
That's what Jiang Mutian said, and that's what Si Wangshu said too.
Will it be effective for a male cultivator to personally consume it?
Is Little B really trustworthy?
But it is, after all, Earth Grade Poison Pill.
Lu Ping, on the contrary, wanted to take this opportunity to see if Heavy Tomato Users could withstand the effects of the Earth Grade Poison Pill.
It'll also be good to explore the background of this Trait.
The last time we couldn't completely defend against it was with the Divine Sense Annihilation Pill, which specifically targets the Divine Sense.
Later, after practicing for a while, I developed immunity.
When the Spirit-Winding Threads were refined again, they were completely protected.
I'll trust you this once, Little B 're unreliable.
Lu Ping chose B.
[You chose B.]
[You take out a dose of the Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder and consume it.]
[As the medicine entered his stomach, the old injury in his Dantian jolted violently, and a chilling medicinal force sank down his meridians.]
[Effective for Heavy Tomato Users.]
[This is effective on Salty Fish.]
Most of the toxicity is blocked by the outer layer.
[But the Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder is not an ordinary aphrodisiac; it corrupts the foundation of one's spiritual path.]
[Your foundation already has debts to begin with.]
[So you immediately understood one thing.]
[The so-called "Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder" only targets female cultivators because it is most effective within them by utilizing the balance of Yin and Yang to overcome emotional tribulations and establish a foundation for cultivation.]
[Pills of Earth Grade and above possess the power to rival the creation of heaven and earth.]
[If a low-level cultivator is caught in this trap, neither men nor women can escape.]
[The only difference is that the female cultivator's foundation collapses first, while the male cultivator's soul is thrown into chaos first; ultimately, both are dragged down to the same fate by the effects of the medicine.]
[You take out the Jade Slip and begin recording the medicinal properties.]
[The first dose of medicine will show you the principle behind the Yin-Yang Love-Tribulation Flower's use of Yin and Yang to resolve love tribulations.]
[The second dose of medicine will make you see clearly: the Soul-Severing Vine is responsible for guiding the soul, Heart-Locking Herb is responsible for locking the foundation of your Dao.]
[When the third dose of medicine was ingested, a sharp pain shot through the old crack in his Dantian.]
[You almost crushed the Jade Slip.]
[This is effective on Salty Fish.]
[My I Love Working is now in effect.]
[The Artisan Spirit takes effect.]
[The Hundred-Forged Medicine Body Formula is activated, converting the already analyzed medicinal power.]
[Your physical body had already reached the limit of the Hundred-Forged Medicine Body Formula, and now it shows signs of further improvement.]
[You have a premonition that once you advance to the Golden Core stage, your Hundred-Forged Medicine Body Formula will immediately reach the third level.]
[The Azure Origin Dao Canon operates, and the medicinal properties gradually take shape within the Jade Slip.]
The four characters Mind-Cleansing Jade Lotus) appeared at the top.
[Below in order are Cold-Soul Herb, Spirit-Calming Ganoderma, Desire-Cutting Fruit, and Meridian-Washing Spring Sand.]
The antidote for the "Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder" is complete.
[You stared at the Jade Slip for a long time, then the Jade Slip fell into your Storage Ring.]
[The stone that had been weighing on your heart for so many years has finally loosened.]
[You feel like you've accomplished something important again.]
[This time, although I was conscripted, it doesn't seem so bad.]
[You might even think that after this great battle, you could go to Great Forest Temple to find Wuming and discuss becoming a monk.]
[At that moment, an uproar erupted outside the camp, and the heavens and earth trembled.]
