Chapter 138: Five Emotions And Seven Destroyers
Su Chen slowly walked towards the peak of the medicine mountain.
Nothing special happened along the way.
Apart from the poisonous gas in the surroundings, there were no other special toxins.
Su Chen stopped and rested for a while, suddenly noticing a brightly colored flower in the dense forest that caught his attention.
This flower was very peculiar, emitting a faint fragrance.
Su Chen spoke, "Help me find out if the old man at the foot of the mountain mentioned this toxin."
The Daoist quickly found information about this toxin.
"It's called the Seven Emotions Flower. After consumption, it can change one of a person's emotions. Because it is not helpful for alchemy, it is classified as a poisonous herb."
Strictly speaking, this medicinal material is not considered a toxin, and its effectiveness seems to be insignificant.
However, Su Chen's eyes lit up.
He summoned Tongtong from the spiritual realm.
"Tongtong, take a look at this Seven Emotions Flower. Can it change the direction of emotions?"
Tongtong nodded and replied, "This herb is useless. Alchemists generally don't pay attention to it. But as an alchemy spirit, I am familiar with all kinds of medicinal materials. However, this herb is indeed useless. It cannot be integrated into the production of any pill, and as a toxin, its toxicity is not strong enough. Why are you asking about this?"
Su Chen smiled.
He thought this poisonous herb had great potential.
If it could be directed to change emotions, it would be even more effective.
Su Chen said, "Collect all the nearby herbs of this kind and store them in the Entering Spirit realm."
Although he didn't understand what Su Chen wanted to do, Tongtong still complied.
With the presence of the alchemy spirit, picking these herbs was a breeze.
After collecting the herbs, Su Chen stood up and continued walking towards the medicine peak.
Soon, the second type of toxin appeared, which was a strange plant.
The appearance of these plants was very peculiar, with lush branches and an unusually thick trunk. There were also some strange vines on the trunk.
These huge toxins blocked Su Chen's path completely.
If Su Chen wanted to pass through these vines, he would definitely have to touch the toxins, which were highly poisonous.
Su Chen smiled and took out the Spirit Qi Pill from the spiritual realm.
The Spirit Qi Pill could provide a temporary boost of spiritual energy, and this kind of spiritual energy was obtained from the pill, not the cultivator's own spiritual energy.
Originally, this pill was used to temporarily enhance spiritual energy and thereby increase the cultivator's combat power.
However, Su Chen had a sudden idea.
Since he couldn't touch the vines and the toxins could corrode spiritual energy, Su Chen used the spiritual energy from the Spirit Qi Pill to surround and protect himself.
Su Chen consumed the Spirit Qi Pill, covered himself with spiritual energy, and then attempted to touch the vine.
Su Chen's arm touched the vine without any change.
Indeed, Su Chen's guess was correct.
The toxicity of these vines could only corrode the spiritual energy of cultivators and had no effect on the spiritual energy provided by the Spirit Qi Pill.
After confirming this, Su Chen consumed two more Spirit Qi Pills and walked into the vines.
On the medicine sect, Zhang Lao nodded in satisfaction.
This kid is quite clever. Based on the two pills he took out from Su Chen's body, Zhang Lao knew that Su Chen's alchemy skills were definitely not a problem.
If it were an ordinary alchemist, Zhang Lao would definitely make an exception and let Su Chen enter the medicine sect.
Just by taking out these two mysterious-grade pills, it proved that Su Chen was not an ordinary alchemist.
With this level of alchemy skills, Su Chen was fully qualified to enter the medicine sect.
However, Zhang Lao was even more curious about the extent of this young man's abilities.
Zhang Lao took a sip of tea and continued to watch patiently.
Successfully passing through the vines, Su Chen continued towards the Medicine Peak.
The surrounding poison gas began to thicken.
Now, at least a Yellow Stage 7th Grade pill is needed to resist the poison.
It seems that the Medicine Sect has high requirements for alchemists.
Being able to refine a Yellow Stage 7th Grade Poison Expelling Pill would already earn great favor from major sects outside, but here, it is just an opportunity to enter the Medicine Sect.
Walking through the dense forest, Su Chen suddenly felt the surroundings becoming dim.
Then, poison gas surged from all sides.
This kind of poison gas is different from the usual kind; even a Profound Stage Poison Expelling Pill cannot resist it.
Su Chen felt his mental power being impacted.
Su Chen sniffed the scent of the poison gas and found that it was the same as the fragrance of the Seven Emotions Flower from earlier.
Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Lao suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Oh no, it's the Five Emotions Seven Annihilation Formation!"
"I forgot to remove the formation set up in the forest."
Zhang Lao became somewhat anxious.
Zhang Lao highly recognized this young man's talent in alchemy.
The Medicine Sect hasn't had such a good seedling in many years.
If he accidentally dies in this Five Emotions Seven Annihilation Formation, it would be a waste of a genius.
Zhang Lao stood up and prepared to go down the mountain to take a look.
In the courtyard, a young disciple approached.
"Master, where are you going?"
"I'm going down the mountain to save someone."
The young disciple was taken aback.
"Master, it's not time to go down the mountain yet. Besides, the people down the mountain haven't fallen ill yet."
Zhang Lao shook his head and said, "I'm going to save an alchemist."
After speaking, Zhang Lao quickly left.
The young disciple was puzzled. Why would the alchemist down the mountain be worth his master personally saving?
Could it be an old friend of his master?
At this moment, Su Chen was trapped in the Five Emotions Seven Annihilation Formation.
The poison gas slowly eroded Su Chen's mental power, but Su Chen had the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, so this type of poison had no effect on him.
Su Chen remained calm. This was a good time to test the effectiveness of the Seven Emotions Flower.
The old man from the Daoist Classic and the Golden Dragon also knew that Su Chen had the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart and would not be affected by this poison gas. They looked relaxed and were not worried about Su Chen's safety.
Su Chen raised his hand and took out the alchemy furnace from the Spirit Realm.
A small square cauldron appeared in Su Chen's hand, and then it grew incredibly large, turning into a huge alchemy furnace in front of Su Chen.
Su Chen released his spiritual energy, and flames immediately appeared beneath the alchemy furnace.
Su Chen took out the Seven Emotions Flower from the Spirit Realm.
Then, he called out to the little medicine boy, Tong Tong.
Originally, Su Chen planned to use the Seven Emotions Flower to refine a poisonous pill. A poison that could change a person's emotions would definitely have a miraculous effect.
But in this situation, it was a good opportunity to test the effectiveness of this medicinal ingredient.
"Tong Tong, in the process of my alchemy, pay attention to the direction of emotional regulation and incorporate this change into the medicinal effect."
