Like spiritual potions, energy potions are also products of Western alchemy!
The formula of the energy potion is not complicated. You only need to stimulate the spore powder of the dark night moss with spiritual energy, and then inhale it to gain the effect of restoring and strengthening energy.
Of course, the energy potion prepared by this crude method is not very effective.
With the development of alchemy, various materials were used to combine with the spore powder of dark night moss, thus producing some more effective energy potions.
However, this most primitive energy potion has been preserved and is one of the introductory courses in Western alchemy.
Because it is simple to prepare and there will be no problem if it fails, it is the best choice for novices to practice.
But why would the energy potion appear in the foundation-building field?
Su Mu had just checked and found that the foundation formation had indeed not been altered. As for Qu Jin himself, it was unlikely that he would use energy potions.
If you really want to improve your energy, there are many better pills and potions than this, so why choose this?
Moreover, this primitive energy potion has a serious drawback...
The plant of night moss originally grew only in Iceland. As its application in potions was developed, it went through several generations of improvement before it was cultivated on a large scale in many potion forests in Europe and provided to potion makers for research and development and production.
When the East and the West began to exchange culture and spiritual practice, dark night moss was brought to the East and studied as a new type of medicinal material.
During this research, the alchemists discovered that the spores of the night moss were safe and harmless in most cases. However, once they came into contact with the scent of the lavender grass, they would produce an adverse "chemical reaction" and turn into a hallucinogenic poison.
Once the dosage reaches the standard, people will lose their minds and fall into madness!
This pharmacological reaction is like the 18 anti-reactions in traditional Chinese medicine.
Therefore, when making medicine with the spores of dark night moss, it will first go through a special process to eliminate this problem.
This original version of the energy potion has obviously not been processed.
The campus of Qingcheng Mountain Xiuzhen University is planted with Xunling grass because this grass has the effect of repelling mosquitoes. There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, and the presence of this grass can reduce the damage caused by mosquitoes.
Now is August, the time when the lavender grass blooms.
Even in the foundation-building room, one could smell the faint fragrance of the spiritual grass wafting in from outside.
Qu Jin did not have any effects from the poison, probably because the transformed toxins had not yet reached the amount that was effective. However, his state of mind had been affected by the toxins, and his negative emotions such as pessimism and depression were amplified.
If things continue to develop in this way, it won’t be long before the toxins accumulated in Qu Jin’s body reach the target and explode!
Therefore, this energy potion was definitely not used by Qu Jin himself.
Is someone trying to harm Qu Jin? Or is he trying to harm all the students who are preparing to build their foundation in the foundation-building field?
Because he was sure that Qu Jin would not be in danger in the short term, Su Mu made up an excuse so as not to alert the enemy.
At the same time, we are also looking for ways to conduct further investigation.
Qu Jin, who didn't know he had been poisoned, walked into the foundation-building formation again and asked, "Teacher Su, can I start?"
"Let's start." Su Mu nodded.
Since he didn't want to alert the enemy, he had to act out the whole play. After all, he didn't know whether the person who injected the drug was hiding in the foundation-building field or among the auditors.
Qu Jin began to build his foundation, and the auditors held their breath, not daring to disturb him.
After watching for a while, Su Mu found the reason that was bothering Qu Jin - a problem with his breathing rhythm.
At first, Qu Jin's breathing rhythm was still in accordance with Su Mu's requirements. But when he caught the feeling of building the foundation and was about to sprint with all his strength, his breathing would involuntarily return to the rhythm he was used to before.
As the breathing rhythm changed, the circulation of spiritual power also changed, causing a series of chain reactions, which ultimately led to Qu Jin's failure.
It was just that this kind of problem caused by habit was difficult for Qu Jin to detect. Every time he failed to build his foundation and reviewed it, he did not notice this situation.
The problem has been found, and it is not too difficult to solve.
It’s just that Su Mu wanted to take this opportunity to conduct further investigation.
Stopping Qu Jin, Su Mu said, "I need to study your question carefully. Is there any vacant foundation-building room in the foundation-building field?"
"Ah? Yes, yes." Qu Jin was obviously frightened.
In the past, whenever those students encountered problems in building their foundation, Su Mu would know the reasons after just one look and could give solutions immediately.
Why did I have to study it carefully? Is my problem so serious that even Teacher Su feels embarrassed? Is there no hope for me to build my foundation?
Qu Jin felt his legs go weak and he couldn't even stand up.
Su Mu didn't want to scare him, but he had no other choice. Seeing that he was frightened, he couldn't bear it, so he comforted him: "Your problem is not too serious, it's just a little complicated. I need to think about how to solve it. Don't worry, there must be a solution."
Qu Jin reluctantly stood up and kept saying, "Please take care of it, Teacher Su."
Su Mu left Qu Jin's foundation-building room and specially chose a foundation-building room that was farther away, saying that he wanted to use the place for 'meditation'.
Those auditors who were sitting in on the class for free were naturally too embarrassed to follow along, so they gathered in twos and threes, discussing in low voices what they had just seen and heard.
In the foundation-building room, the first thing Su Mu did after locking the door was to activate the foundation-building array.
Sure enough, the spiritual energy emitted from this foundation-building formation also contains elements of energy potion.
This proves that the person who drugged him was not just targeting Qu Jin, he was targeting all the students who were building their foundation!
Even including those students who have successfully built their foundation in recent days.
Because the spores of the night moss will remain in the human body for a period of time. During this process, even if no new spores are inhaled, as long as the scent of the lavender grass is smelled, the dose of toxins will still be increased.
At the same time, it also proves that the person who drugged the person may have put the drug in the pipeline that transports spiritual energy, or in a spirit gathering formation buried deep underground.
Because the original version of the energy potion was not very effective, no one noticed anything unusual.
"The foundation-building field was drugged, and it should have happened in the last ten days or so. Because before, whether I was building a foundation or guiding others to build a foundation, the krypton gold plug-in did not find the energy potion. Before, I overclocked the foundation-building array, which caused the spiritual energy in the distant foundation-building room to lose pressure. The school sent a construction team to inspect it. Could it be that at that time, someone drugged the pipes?"
Su Mu quickly shook his head again: "No, if the drug was given at that time, the krypton gold plug-in should have been activated long ago, it would not have waited until now."
After a moment, he had a new guess: "There is another possibility - someone long ago secretly planted the dark night moss in the pipeline that transports spiritual energy or the spiritual gathering array. And calculated the time accurately. In these two months, the spores matured, left the spore sac, polluted the spiritual energy in the foundation-building field, and just happened to come into contact with the fragrance of the spiritual grass, producing toxins."
Such a big thing is not something Su Mu can handle, and he has never been a person who shows off his abilities.
He immediately took out his cell phone and called Wen Wubin.
"Principal Wen, is it convenient for you to talk?"
"I'm in the office, there's no one else around, what happened?"
"It's like this..."
Su Mu told Wen Wubin about his discoveries and speculations in the foundation-building field.
Wen Wubin snorted coldly and said, "They really didn't let go of the foundation-building field. Oh, they even used the opposite principle of drugs? It seems that among these rats, there is at least one person who is familiar with Eastern and Western pharmacology."
There is a lot of information revealed in this sentence.
Su Mu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are there other places that have been tampered with?"
Wen Wubin did not hide the truth from him: "In addition to the library and the foundation-building field you just discovered, the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, the Herb Hall, and several research institutes and laboratories were all found to have been tampered with by someone in secret."
"What a big deal... Do you know who did it?" Su Mu asked.
Wen Wubin replied, "It's not clear yet, but it is certain that it is related to the upcoming third secret realm. As more and more signs appear, evil spirits with ulterior motives have emerged one after another, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to make a profit. But they are so brave to target our Qingcheng Mountain Cultivation University!"
Su Mu analyzed, "I feel like these people are deliberately doing things in multiple places to distract our attention. It would be even better if they could cause a riot - for example, making the students in the foundation-building field and the students who have recently successfully built their foundation go crazy and hurt their companions. In this way, not only can they conceal their true purpose, but they can also take advantage of the chaos to succeed."
Wen Wubin said, "We suspected the same thing. To be honest, it's just right that these rats are making trouble now. The deeper and longer they hide, the greater the harm they will cause to us. Okay, I already understand the situation at the foundation-building field. You don't have to worry about it. Just pretend you don't know. Don't act on your own."
"I understand." Su Mu replied.
For such a big event, the school must have a comprehensive plan, just cooperate. Although I have a cheat, I don't have ninety-nine lives - can an ordinary person tamper with the foundation-building field quietly? Do you really think that the twelve zodiac bronze statues guarding the foundation-building field are just attractions?
Just as he was about to say goodbye and hang up, Wen Wubin suddenly said, "By the way, I just heard from Old Chen, who is in charge of the library, that the book spirits sent him a report, wanting to purchase Yangxinxiang from you? You are really good, you have done business with the book spirits, that's amazing. Let me tell you, the book spirits in our school are very innocent, don't teach them bad things!"
Su Mu complained, "Principal Wen, I am only thinking about the school. You see, the school can get a share of the profits when it purchases the Yangxin incense from me, right? The Yangxin incense can also help the students in the library focus more on their studies. In other words, for every stick of incense I sell to the school, the school gets twice the profit. How great! Besides, I am such a good person, how could I teach the book spirits bad things? They will only get better and better if they learn from me."
Wen Wubin said: "Well, that's how I responded to Lao Chen."
After a brief pause, they both laughed.
“Great minds think alike!”
"Pooh!"
