Chapter 58 Is this a sign of poisoning or a serial trap...
For the first time, Wu Che wanted to test his own limits. Although the people who challenged him became more and more powerful, he became more and more courageous.
Seeing that Wu Che was difficult to win over, the people in the audience had no choice but to contact Sheng Tianyun.
"Big Brother, this guy has a spirit-replenishing pill that can quickly restore spiritual power. And the way he eats the pill, it's as if he doesn't need spirit stones to buy it. No matter how many people we have, we can't sustain him."
Sheng Tianyun felt unhappy when he heard this, and asked in a gloomy tone: "What do you want?"
"Big Brother, can you lend me some powerful magical instruments..."
His tone sounded somewhat flattering and humble, but Sheng Tianyun could tell that this person seemed to have figured out his intention to suppress Ci Jianfeng and wanted to take advantage of him.
Sheng Tianyun said, "He has some nourishing pills, and you have some too. Just take them. Why are you being so stingy with those pills? You just need to hold out. The Wu guy has been fighting on the stage for a long time. I think a turning point will come soon."
After saying that, Sheng Tianyun cut off the conversation.
Although he spoke in a strong tone, he was secretly surprised in his heart. What kind of elixir could quickly replenish spiritual power?
As the chief disciple of the sect master, the spiritual replenishing pills that Sheng Tianyun used on a daily basis were definitely of the best quality. However, there was no such pill that could directly replenish spiritual power without the need for breathing exercises!
Sheng Tianyun was also puzzled just now. Why did Wu Che need to adjust his breathing for a while at the beginning, but later he stopped doing so and just stuffed the pill in his mouth and continued to fight the challenger.
Is there really such a powerful spiritual elixir in this world?
If it really existed, it would probably cause the monks to scramble for it.
After all, the period of recuperation after taking the Soul-Replenishing Pill is extremely dangerous. Many people have died from exhaustion of spiritual energy in battles with others or monsters. If the Soul-Replenishing Pill can replenish spiritual energy without the need for respiration, wouldn't that mean an inexhaustible supply of spiritual energy?
Thinking of this, Sheng Tianyun felt a little excited. If he could control the source of the elixir...
But he soon felt it was impossible. How could such a heaven-defying spiritual elixir appear in this world? Anyway, he was not willing to believe it.
Soon, he thought of another explanation for this phenomenon: what the people of Cijian Peak swallowed was not a spiritual elixir at all, but a forbidden drug that allowed them to have an endless supply of spiritual power!
The more Sheng Tianyun thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and the more certain he became.
But what if it isn’t?
Such a voice sounded in his mind.
If not... Sheng Tianyun curled the corners of his mouth and revealed a cruel smile. It would be a good opportunity to ruin the reputation of Cijian Peak.
The people from Yaowang City and the Beast Taming Sect are here, and they will spread the bad reputation of Cijian Peak to the entire continent.
In that case, Junior Sister will definitely be very happy, right?
Sheng Tianyun turned his gaze to Luo Qingyao who was fighting on the ring. There were not many people challenging Luo Qingyao. Most of the male cultivators took care of Junior Sister Luo/Senior Sister Luo and were unwilling to challenge her. Most of those who challenged her were female cultivators.
Although the female cultivators were not happy with this situation, they had no choice because she was the sect leader's disciple.
The fight was in full swing, and Wu Che soon became one of the few people who were among the first group to defend the ring and still remained on the stage.
The disciples had a new impression of their junior brother Ci Jianfeng, and they also had a lot of good feelings towards Ci Jianfeng.
Wu Che felt a little dizzy and his body was out of control.
He was a little panicked, but he quickly understood what to do. So when the next person came up to challenge him, he exchanged a few moves with the person, took the opportunity to reveal a flaw, and lost to the other person.
Wu Che staggered off the stage, his vision blurry. He glanced around blankly, with only one thought in his mind: Go back to my senior brothers and sisters!
He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he knew that his senior brothers and sisters would definitely be able to save him.
There were many people around, some praising and some encouraging him, but Wu Che did not respond at all, which made some people unhappy. They thought that Wu Che was a little too proud after winning more than 20 competitions.
"Move aside, I'm here to pick up my junior brother."
When Wu Che heard the voice, he instinctively walked in that direction. After a while, he was supported by a familiar person: "Sixth Junior Brother, are you unable to see or hear clearly?"
Wu Che nodded gently, his head still feeling heavy.
Li Yunqi said in a high voice: "You are poisoned, take an antidote pill quickly!"
Wu Che was a little confused and didn't quite understand what this meant. Li Yunqi quickly took out a detoxification pill and stuffed it into Wu Che's mouth.
Soon the elixir entered his tendons and veins, "melting" the things that blocked his five senses, allowing him to gradually regain clarity, and the fellow disciples in front of him appeared much clearer and more vivid.
"Am I poisoned?" Wu Che asked in surprise.
He thought he had taken too many elixirs, which led to this kind of aftereffect!
Li Yunqi deliberately shouted loudly: "Yes! During the first round of drawing lots, the light streamer rushing towards our Cijian Peak hid a silkworm! That insect was poisoned!"
The Great Elder took back all the drawn streams of light and also drew out a few silk-thread light insects from the streams of light, which was witnessed by everyone.
But after listening to Li Yunqi's words, everyone realized that these things were actually aimed at Cijian Peak.
The people around immediately started talking:
"Is what she said true or false?"
"Anyway, it's true that the Great Elder caught the bug from the stream of light."
"I think it's real too. Remember the first streak of light that was taken back? That streak of light has been hovering near Cijian Peak. Our peak is close to Cijian Peak, so we could see it clearly!"
"Hiss... Tell me, who has such a deep grudge against Cijian Peak? If the matter of the filamentous lightworms hadn't been discovered, wouldn't the people from Cijian Peak have been poisoned in the arena?"
"That way we'll lose the competition miserably, right? Tsk tsk..."
The more people around talked about it, the more they felt that the person behind the scenes had sinister intentions. He was targeting the people who wanted to destroy Cijian Peak!
Everyone in the sect knew that although Cijian Peak was a first-class peak, their master had been missing for several years and only a few disciples were left to support it.
If we lose the competition this time, Cijian Peak will probably be reduced to a level lower than even a third-class peak, and will be bullied even more by then.
Although people usually feel that Ci Jianfeng is indeed occupying the toilet without doing anything, now that they find that they are being targeted like this, basic empathy still makes everyone feel a lot of sympathy and understanding for Ci Jianfeng.
Wu Che was supported by Li Yunqi and returned to the stands. He asked in a low voice, "Fifth Senior Sister, did you do that on purpose just now?"
My fifth senior sister is a person who doesn't like to show off or show her face, but she just spoke so loudly, which is somewhat inconsistent with her personality.
Li Yunqi's face flushed red at this point, and she said, "I did it on purpose, but if you ask me to do it again, I wouldn't dare."
Wu Che couldn't help but laugh. His senior sister really didn't have that much courage.
"I was just furious, and I was worried that others would misunderstand you and our Cijian Peak, so I just called it out. Calling it out now is easier than going back and dispelling the rumors."
Li Yunqi couldn't help but explain in a low voice.
Wu Che responded with a "hmm," "Fifth Senior Sister, you're braver than before, and so am I. This time in the competition, I discovered that I'm actually quite formidable."
As his body gradually recovered, Wu Che's desire to speak also slowly returned, and he couldn't help but chatter about his feelings about this fight.
Back in the stands, Cong Chen silently took Wu Che from Li Yunqi's hands. Wu Che was still screaming, "I don't need your support, I can walk by myself!"
Cong Chen pressed him down on the chair without saying a word.
Everyone at Cijian Peak asked about what had just happened, and Wu Che and Li Yunqi told them what they had just encountered.
Hua Shengqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thankfully, Fifth Senior Sister was quick to react and discovered that it was poison. Fortunately, she arrived in time."
The other brothers also praised him generously.
Li Yunqi regained her usual gentle and reserved demeanor and said shyly, "I also felt something was wrong with me, and then I realized it. Fortunately, Junior Sister's detoxification pill is very good. Just one pill was enough to remove the poison. It's not all my credit."
Yuan Qing'an praised her, "You were very attentive and noticed the signs of poisoning. You are indeed the first to do this. But why do you think the poison came from the filamentous lightworms?"
Li Yunqi said frankly, "I was just guessing. We at Cijian Peak haven't come across anything strange these days. Only the few streaks of light from the lot drawing seemed strange, and the Great Elder caught a ray of light insect from it, so I had a hunch it was that."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Although there was no empirical evidence, the logic was very reasonable.
"So, this was done by Luo Qingyao, right? Not only does she want to send all of us from Cijian Peak to the arena, but she also wants us to be defeated miserably in the arena. It will not only be embarrassing, but also make Cijian Peak lose its qualification as a first-class peak. What a vicious mind!" Hua Shengqing was so angry that he kept cursing.
Liang Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to say that since there was no evidence, it was Junior Sister Luo who did it, but it was not so easy for him to convince himself now that this matter had nothing to do with Luo Qingyao.
The only group of people who had such a deep hatred for Cijian Peak and were willing to lay their hands on the Great Elder's lottery-drawing instrument were that group of people.
Even if Luo Qingyao hadn't done it herself, it must have been those people who were treating Ci Jianfeng this way just to curry favor with her. No matter how you look at it, this matter is inseparable from her.
After hesitating for a while, Liang Xiao couldn't say it out loud after all.
Even Zhou Lixing, who was mild-mannered and rarely angry, was furious this time and said bitterly, "This is really too much!"
Anyone who has experienced the events in the Luoshui Secret Realm and the Strange Fire Secret Realm will hate Luo Qingyao to the extreme.
"We have to think of a way, whether it's revenge or counterattack, we have to let that bastard know how powerful we are, otherwise there will be endless trouble in the future."
Just as everyone was discussing this, a disciple from the Discipline Hall suddenly came over and said expressionlessly, "The Sect Master and the Great Elder are summoning Li Yunqi and Wu Che, disciples of Cijian Peak. Come with me!"
Yuan Qingan put down his teacup, frowned, and asked, "Can you tell me what it's about?"
The man seemed particularly impatient, but when he saw Shangyuan Qing'an's cold eyes, he couldn't help but shudder and answered honestly: "Someone suspects that the elixir they took is a banned drug. I request that the sect master and the great elder check it out."
