Chapter 272 Chelation Pill

……

Li Chengqian is not mentioned.

Wu Wen turned his gaze to his master, Li Chunfeng, his eyes full of curiosity, and asked him about his experiences in the Pantheon during this period.

Li Chunfeng smiled slightly, but a hint of helplessness and solemnity was hidden in that smile. Then he sighed softly and said:

"Well... that's a long story."

Moreover, the matter is quite complicated. I will explain it to you slowly when I have more free time later.

As he spoke, Li Chunfeng turned to look at Grandmaster Zhiyuan, as if he had anticipated what Wu Wen was about to ask, and said:

“Your grandmaster has been with me these past few days.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen thought to himself that his master must have encountered a thorny problem in the Pantheon, otherwise he wouldn't have specifically asked his grandmaster to come and help him.

"Tell your teacher, what have you been through lately?"

Li Chunfeng smiled at Wu Wen, his eyes full of concern.

"Master, Grandmaster, please have a seat!"

Wu Wenxian invited his master and the patriarch to sit down.

He then slowly recounted his experience, telling the two of his stories without reservation, except for some confidential details that needed to be kept secret.

After listening, the two remained silent for a moment, seemingly digesting what Wu Wen had said.

Then, Master Zhiyuan said in a deep voice:

"Curse Technique!"

"Unexpectedly, the remnants of the ancient Ailao people still possess this forbidden technique that has been lost."

"If the Jiuli Miao people find out about this, it will probably cause quite a commotion."

"The Jiuli Miao people have a deep connection with the art of curses. They have always regarded this art as a forbidden domain and will never allow others to touch it."

As he spoke, Grandmaster Zhiyuan warned Wu Wen with a serious expression: "About this matter, you must not reveal it to any outsiders other than me and your master Li Chunfeng, otherwise it will definitely bring you a lot of trouble."

Li Chunfeng chimed in, "That's right, Wu Wen, you must not tell anyone else about the art of curses except for me and your grandmaster."

“Yes!” Wu Wen nodded solemnly in response.

Master Zhiyuan continued, "And as for Buddhism, you should no longer contact them. It's too complicated, and you can't handle it."

Wu Wen nodded in response, keeping his master's admonition firmly in mind.

This concludes my summary of my experience traveling to the Kingdom of Dharani.

Li Chunfeng smiled and asked Wu Wen, "You just said that you recently created the 'Enlightenment Pill'? Tell me about it in detail."

Wu Wen replied, "This Enlightenment Pill is something I learned from observing my senior master Yuan Tiangang refine the 'longevity elixir' that develops intelligence. I then conducted my own research and refined it."

Although its effects are similar to those of his senior brother Yuan Tiangang's "elixir of immortality," it also has the effect of developing intelligence.

However, the Enlightenment Pill I refined did not have the effect of strengthening the body while developing the mind, unlike the Longevity Pill.

Therefore, the requirements for taking it are relatively high.
A certain level of physical constitution is required to withstand the effects of the medicine.

"But because of this, my Enlightenment Pill does not have the side effects of the Longevity Pill."

"It can be said to be a near-perfect medicine."

As he spoke, Wu Wen introduced Aman, who had come with him, to his master and grandmaster.

"Master, Grandmaster, please take a look."

"This subordinate of mine took the Enlightenment Pill that I refined."

Although his body didn't fully absorb the Enlightenment Pill's effects due to insufficient physical capacity, judging from the current results, his intelligence is now no less than that of an average person of average talent.

Upon hearing this, Li Chunfeng and Grandmaster Zhiyuan stood up at the same time and looked Aman up and down.

Their eyes were sharp as they scanned Aman from head to toe, as if trying to see right through him.

"Ah, very good!"

Grandmaster Zhiyuan nodded with a look of satisfaction, his eyes full of approval.

Then, with a serious expression, he said to Wu Wen:

"Remember this: the Enlightenment Pill should not be given to anyone other than those you have already chosen and are preparing to nurture."

As he spoke, the tone of Grandmaster Zhiyuan carried a warning undertone:
"It is especially important to remember that all information about drugs that can enhance a person's mental state must not be widely circulated in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen was somewhat puzzled. Why would his grandmaster say such a thing?

Logically speaking, a medicine that can develop the intelligence of the entire population should be a good thing that benefits all people and should be widely circulated.

How come, according to my master, this medicine seems to be a forbidden substance, something that cannot be used by too many people?

Grandmaster Zhiyuan noticed the confusion in Wu Wen's eyes, so he walked up to him and earnestly explained:

“Wu Wen, your cultivation time is still short and you have experienced too little. There are some principles you still don’t understand.”

"This medicine is indeed a good thing, but as the saying goes, every blessing has its curse, and it also has a great danger."

As he spoke, Grandmaster Zhiyuan asked Wu Wen, "When our Taoist sect accepts disciples, the requirements are extremely strict. Besides talent, what is the most important thing we look for?"

"Character and morality!" Wu Wen answered without hesitation.

“That’s right!” Grandmaster Zhiyuan nodded: “When our Taoist sect accepts disciples, we first and foremost emphasize moral character. Do you know why?”

Wu Wen replied, "It is to prevent the emergence of those who betray their teachers and ancestors, and bring disaster to the country and its people."

Grandmaster Zhiyuan nodded, but then shook his head: "What you said is right, but not entirely right."

A person of high moral character also has a good heart.

In my Taoist practice, mind and character are extremely important.

why?
Because during the cultivation process, as one's cultivation level increases, one will encounter inner demons.

The so-called inner demons are those who, when a person gains wisdom and power, are gradually led astray by that power.

This is what it means to be possessed by a demon!

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen nodded in agreement.

It's like a poor person suddenly acquiring a large sum of money. This kind of sudden wealth in a short period of time can easily lead to a distorted mentality, resulting in some extreme behaviors.

The same principle applies.
If an ordinary person who was originally weak and unable to even kill a chicken suddenly gains great power, this change will also cause a change in his mentality.

Not to mention those who cultivate themselves. Take Wu Wen himself as an example.
With the knowledge and power he now possesses, ordinary people are no different from ants in his eyes.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to call himself a god!
Thus, Wu Wen finally understood why his master had instructed him to prohibit the widespread dissemination of this medicine that could develop human intelligence.

It is precisely because ordinary people, once they gain intelligence, will encounter all sorts of problems.

As people become smarter, they also have more ideas.

This is like being freed from constraints, making it extremely easy for lawless behavior to occur.

The harm caused by intelligent people is far more serious than the harm caused by foolish people.

After understanding his master's meaning, Wu Wen immediately told him that he would strictly control this medicine in the future and would never allow it to leave his hands.

Upon hearing this, Grandmaster Zhiyuan was finally relieved.

At this moment, Li Chunfeng, Aman's master who had been observing him for a long time, asked Wu Wen:

"You just said that in order to enable him to meet the requirements for taking the medicine, a method of cultivating evil qi was specially created for him."

Tell me quickly what exactly it is.

Just now, in order to make his master and grandmaster understand, Wu Wen used the term "煞炁" to describe the energy of radiation.

When Wu Wen heard his master ask the question, he explained it to him in detail.

He explained while gesturing, trying to help his master understand more intuitively.

After listening, Li Chunfeng stroked his beard slightly with his right hand, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"What a brilliant method of cultivating evil energy!"
To put it more vividly, you simply set up a formation inside his body.

Then, this formation absorbs and transforms the evil energy between heaven and earth, thereby strengthening his body.

Overall, this cannot be considered a new method of cultivation.

"The most important point is that you actually used a magical treasure to place this evil energy in his body, which is not worth it at all."

As he spoke, Li Chunfeng turned to look at his grandmaster, Zhiyuan, and said with a smile:

"If I remember correctly, there is a forbidden technique in the secret methods passed down in my Louguan Dao sect, which is also specifically for cultivating the evil energy of heaven and earth."

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen immediately turned to look at the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Upon seeing this, Grandmaster Zhiyuan laughed: "Indeed, there is such a forbidden technique."

However, this forbidden technique has extremely high requirements for practitioners.

It requires not only extremely high talent.

Moreover, the cultivation process is extremely difficult, and the slightest carelessness can endanger one's life.

At the same time, the qualifications for obtaining this lineage are quite high.

"but……"

Grandmaster Zhiyuan suddenly changed the subject, staring intently at Wu Wen: "With Wu Wen's talent and ability, he could try cultivating."

Moreover, he had contributed the 'Immortal Body Secret Technique' to the Taoist sect, thus rendering meritorious service to the sect, therefore…

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen immediately bowed to his grandmaster and said sincerely, "Please teach me, grandmaster!"

With a smile on his face, Grandmaster Zhiyuan slowly said, "In that case, I will pass on this forbidden technique to you."

I hope you can comprehend its mysteries, but remember, the path of cultivation is extremely perilous. Do not be greedy for quick results or act rashly, and even more so, do not harbor evil thoughts, or you will surely suffer the consequences.

As he spoke, Grandmaster Zhiyuan leaned down and whispered the forbidden scriptures into Wu Wen's ear.

After listening to the teachings of Master Zhiyuan

Wu Wen was momentarily stunned.

The reason is that the forbidden technique passed down to him by his master was far too simple and crude.

Specific cultivation methods.

The idea is to first find a place with malevolent energy and stay there to receive its cleansing.

Once you get through this ordeal, your body will naturally undergo a transformation, and you will be able to absorb evil energy.

In Wu Wen's view, this was no different from sending himself to a place with radiation.

So, is it possible to bet that after prolonged exposure to radiation, one will not die, but instead undergo optimized mutations in the body?
What's the difference between this success rate and surviving a fall off a cliff?
No wonder it's called a forbidden technique.

After receiving the inheritance, Wu Wen couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

To be honest, he was quite disappointed.

Fortunately, this forbidden technique is not entirely without merit.

The forbidden technique records that during the cultivation process, one must take a specially prepared elixir for a long period of time.

Wu Wen called it "chelation pill".

Through internal simulation and analysis, Wu Wen discovered that the effects of this chelation pill were truly miraculous.

Its function is actually to detoxify during the cultivation of evil qi.

Its core mechanism is to bind with metal ions in the body, such as lead, mercury, and uranium, through chelating agents, forming stable compounds that are then excreted from the body.

Chelating agents are compounds that can form stable cyclic structures with metal ions through coordination bonds.

Its function is similar to that of a crab claw "clamping" metal ions, hence the name "chelation".

In the interior.

Through the deduction of the chelation pill refining method in forbidden techniques.

Wu Wen has already analyzed its components and functions.

Sodium dimercaptosuccinate: As a core detoxifying agent, it is used to neutralize radioactive heavy metals, such as uranium and potassium, accumulated during "radiation energy" cultivation.

Sodium edetate: It helps with detoxification and prevents electrolyte imbalance caused by radiation training.

Ferrous ferrocyanide: Used as a special additive to block the absorption of radioactive isotopes such as cesium and thallium by the body's digestive system...

……

"It's alright, it's not like we gained nothing."

"This forbidden technique, just this chelation pill alone, has brought me considerable gains," Wu Wen thought.
