Chapter 387: Love Poison

"How am I getting more and more addicted..."

In the concealed formation, Lu Xun had a slight headache.

After over half a month, he and Ran Bing had both become somewhat addicted.

Although such a thing that pleases body and mind easily leads to addiction.

But now it's clearly problematic.

Lu Xun tried every method, even refining some pills in his spare time, yet he could not solve the problem.

The most crucial point is,

Lu Xun discovered that, as time passed, Ran Bing was also undergoing some changes.

Her desire grew stronger and stronger.

If this continues, Ran Bing is very likely to become a slave to desire.

Not only her, but Lu Xun himself would also be affected.

Undoubtedly,

This is completely Gu Yao's doing.

Gu Yao was manipulating everything from behind the scenes.

Although Gu Yao has not yet shown herself, this move of hers is exceptionally difficult to counter.

Compared to her coming out directly to clash with Lu Xun head-on, this is far harder to solve.

Lu Xun truly isn't afraid of a head‑on clash with her.

The Nine Tribulations Demon‑Sealing Formation is complete; Lu Xun's demonic power surpasses his, and his spirit is no weaker than Gu Yao's current state.

What does she have to fight Lu Xun with?

Even if she continues to grow stronger by relying on the Reincarnation Mark, given the binding, the stronger she becomes, the stronger Lu Xun becomes.

To Gu Yao, this is unsolvable.

Yet Gu Yao does not do that.

"We need to think of a plan."

Lu Xun thought it over but couldn't find a particularly good solution.

It's not that there is no solution.

For example, Lu Xun confined Ran Bing within the inner realm.

He isolated himself from Ran Bing.

He endured it with strong willpower.

Ran Bing cannot; over time her will would be affected, possibly even dissipating, after which Gu Yao would win completely.

Therefore, Lu Xun had to abandon this method.

But continuing like this would also affect Ran Bing.

In other words, no matter what Lu Xun does, the outcome seems unchangeable.

It's merely a matter of sooner or later.

Seeing that Xiao Jin and the phoenix were still in the star, Lu Xun pondered and decided to first look for a solution.

Xiao Jin was about to absorb enough energy; now it is equivalent to an Eighth Realm being, and staying here poses no problem.

As for Xiao Fenghuang, upon reaching the star, this place practically becomes its home, so there should be no issue.

Thus, Lu Xun returned to Lan Xing, and through Director Xu of the War Mansion, found a Seventh Realm healer.

"Young friend, your qi flows smoothly, spirit and true qi circulate unhindered, the heavenly circuit is unobstructed. Even rarer is that your flesh and blood are like a rainbow, all meridians open—such a perfect state is truly rare. I'm ashamed, ashamed; this old body of mine cannot find a single flaw."

However, this Seventh Realm healer noticed nothing amiss.

"Uncle Xu, can you contact an Eighth Realm healer?"

Lu Xun asked Director Xu.

"Little Xun, physicians who specialize in meridians live longer than ordinary people, but their growth speed is somewhat limited; currently the finest physicians are only at the Seventh Realm, with no Eighth Realm physicians yet."

Director Xu said.

All right.

This physician is already the best.

"Uncle Xu, I'd like to meet Master Fei; is that possible?"

Lu Xun thought of Fei Tai'a.

Fei Tai'a would surely be powerless in his current situation.

But don't forget, he still has a Flower Demon named Ahui by his side.

"Of course; they're at the 18th Spirit Herb Garden in the Taihang Secret Realm—take this token and go there."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Xu."

"Don't mention it~"

After bidding farewell to Director Xu, Lu Xun made his way all the way to Great Road Mountain.

After Lan Xing ascended to a higher dimension, many secret realms arose on its famous mountains and rivers.

The Taihang Secret Realm is one of them.

Different secret realms have different uses.

For example, the Cellar Secret Realm imprisons alien peoples and star‑space oddities, serving as a testing ground.

The Taihang Secret Realm appears to be used for cultivating spirit herbs.

Lu Xun made his way to Five Terrace Mountain, where a cluster of imitation‑ancient palaces stands.

The entrance to the Taihang Secret Realm is right here.

After Lu Xun handed over the badge, he was able to enter.

Really big.

This Taihang Secret Realm seems like an extension of the Taihang Mountains; inside, it is not ordinarily large.

Between the mountains, one can see patches of cultivated spirit fields.

What is grown inside is spirit medicine.

No wonder the annual procurement quota of 5000 cubic meters of dark energy spirit medicine given to the Lu Clan Group by the authorities is not too burdensome.

The spirit medicine garden here is numbered 18; it is the No. 18 spirit medicine garden.

If the preceding 17 were all this large, then even though spirit medicine requires years to cultivate, the annual output would be extraordinarily considerable.

Once the state apparatus gets moving, it is far more formidable than private groups.

The spirit medicine here is mainly supplied to official institutions and organizations, such as Beidou Hall and Qingxu Palace, which have official backing; these major powers can likewise obtain a share from these spirit medicine gardens.

Lu Xun's case, however, is an exception.

After all, his Lu Clan Group lacks official backing.

"Lu Xun, they are over here."

The manager of the spirit medicine garden led Lu Xun.

In such a vast spirit medicine field, the manager's ability is not insignificant; he has reached the late stage of the Six Realms.

Moreover, combined with the formations here, even someone at the Seven or Eight Realms would find it difficult to cause trouble here.

Not long after, they found where Fei Tai'a was.

"Haha, Lu Xun, you've come just in time; this is the wine I just brewed—come, have a taste."

Fei Tai'a saw Lu Xun and smiled broadly.

His days here have been going well.

Every day, together with Ahui, he works from sunrise to sunset; in his free time, he also brews wine and tends flowers.

As a flower demon, Ahui has some advantages in cultivating spirit plants that ordinary people lack.

Some spirit plants, under her cultivation, show a noticeably longer growth rate and improved medicinal efficacy.

This has made her increasingly valued.

"Madam, I want to ask: does a snake demon have any method that makes people aroused yet leaves them unaware of any abnormality?"

After Lu Xun spent some time drinking wine with Fei Tai'a, he then explained his purpose.

"A snake demon?"

Ahui asked for the details.

Lu Xun was reluctant to mention the ancient demon, merely saying it was a very powerful snake demon.

Then he also described the situation.

"It should be love poison."

Ahui pondered for a moment, then said.

"Love poison?"

Hmm, love poison—probably not an ordinary love poison, otherwise there would be no awareness; once this love poison takes hold, if one cannot find a way to resolve it, they will gradually sink into it, and ultimately their will shall be utterly destroyed, turning into a doll-like woman.
