I can't live forever, so I have to reincarnate infinitely

Chapter 338 One after another bad news
The major sects can ignore the mortals living in the mortal world.

The sentence "There is a difference between immortals and mortals" is enough for their own consciences to cope with it.

What's more... most monks don't care about what happens in the mortal world.

Du Youqian bets that at least two-thirds of the monks are still unaware of a super-large plague that has not appeared in the world for thousands of years.

But the blessed land is the foundation of all major sects.

Most of the new blood recruited by each sect are found from the blessed land.

Because most of the mortals in the blessed land are descendants of monks.

Coupled with the abundance of spiritual energy in the blessed land, the mortals in the blessed land are healthy and the probability of spiritual roots appearing in their offspring is much higher than in the mortal world outside.

If all the mortals in the blessed land die, the major sects will also be dug up. In the future, there will be no new blood to join the sects, and they will only die slowly.

Therefore, under the call of Taihe Zong, the Xuanmen Zongzong camp united as never before and worried about mortal affairs for the first time.

Even the Demon Sect camp pretended to send an "exchange group" composed of some alchemists to assist in the development of elixirs.

Even during the demon disaster hundreds of years ago, each sect sent people to the mortal world, but their purpose was only to eliminate the demon clan, not to protect mortals.

Only a few monks fight sincerely to protect mortals.

The real person almost copied Du Youqian's proposal. Some monks went to manage the mortal world and banned population movement; some monks went to investigate the starting point of the spread of the plague, thinking that this might be able to find key clues to cure the plague; monks who knew how to make alchemy brainstormed and I specially found a cave in Taihe Sect, where I ate and slept every day, and tried to prepare cheap elixirs that could cure diseases.

Du Youqian felt that since all the major sects paid attention to it, and this matter was not related to interests and there was no internal fighting, the plague should be solved soon.

He soon discovered that he had thought things too simply.

First of all, there are the monks who are sent to maintain order in the mortal world. Many of them are self-taught in "fishing" skills and do not take care of things seriously at all.Mortals fled everywhere as usual, bringing the plague to all parts of the world, and almost no place was spared.

Then there are the monks who went to investigate the origin of the plague. Basically, people in several places where the plague originated have died. They have cut off all traceable clues and spent a lot of time. They still can’t figure out where the plague started. Why.

Finally, there are the monks who are responsible for researching elixirs. Most of them are useless. This majority means that nine out of ten are useless.

They are all accustomed to using the best spiritual materials and spending a lot of time to carefully refine the highest quality elixirs.

I have never thought about using the simplest and most common medicinal materials, hastily refining it, and refining a large pot (yes, a pot, not an elixir furnace) at a time. thing.

They don't have this idea at all!
Even though Du Youqian repeatedly emphasized and demonstrated personally, most of them still felt that this approach was insulting to their status as alchemists and were unwilling to compromise.

Du Youqian could only smile politely but awkwardly, and then watched those alchemists spend a lot of time, burn many precious medicinal materials, and do a lot of useless work.

You use medicinal materials worth three thousand spirit stones to refine a batch of only three pills every two days, which can easily cure diseases. What's the use of that?

Billions of mortals are waiting for treatment.

If Du Youqian had the power of life and death, he would really hang up these ungrateful guys and give them a good beating.

pity.

Although he is publicly recommended as No. 1 in the world and has a lofty reputation, it is impossible for him to command these monks who regard individual power and personal cultivation as the most important things.

Being able to coax them to help a little bit is already the limit.

It is really impossible for the monks to obey orders and prohibitions.

No one in this world can do it.

Du Youqian can only give up his fantasy and work harder if he can.

After many attempts, but unable to prepare a low-level elixir that was effective, Du Youqian changed his mind. He wanted to find out the original birthplace of the plague through divination, and tried to see if he could find any clues. He also tried to pass Divination to find the right herb.

When the divination results came out, Du Youqian's mood became heavier.

The suitable herb was not found.

Moreover, the hexagrams show that this plague is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!

But who did it?

Because there were too few known conditions, the hexagrams obtained by Du Youqian's divination were also very vague, and no reliable conclusion could be drawn.

Du Youqian privately ordered several monks to investigate the source of the plague, hoping that they would collect as many clues as possible to help him enrich the conditions for divination.

Before anything useful could be found, the situation became more serious.

On this day, Elder Wufei personally came to the cave as the epidemic research institute and visited everyone talking and laughing.

Then he called Du Youqian into a secret room with an extremely serious expression.

"Fellow Daoist Youde, something serious has happened."

Du Youqian suddenly became nervous.He knew that Elder Wufei would never do anything wrong, "Fellow Taoist, please tell me, what exactly happened?"

Elder Wufei took a deep breath and said, "Three young friends working in the mortal world are infected."

The word infection was proposed by Du Youqian. Because it is easy to image, it spread quickly.

Du Youqian also gasped, "What kind of cultivation are they?"

"Practice Qi."

"What about the symptoms? Are they the same as those of ordinary people?"

Elder Wu Fei said, "We are still observing. These three little friends have only been infected for two or three days. They are currently feeling weak, unable to concentrate, and it is difficult to gather mana. We have to look at the rest."

"Then, let's take a closer look." Although he said it calmly, Du Youqian actually had a strong foreboding.

Originally, monks were not infected at all. Every monk, even in the early stages of Qi training, had a physique comparable to that of a mortal innate martial arts master. He was immune to all diseases and was not afraid of cold or heat.

Get ill?Impossible.

But now, even monks are infected. What does this mean?
Moreover, what Du Youqian wanted to find out was, did this plague infect monks from the beginning, or did the plague virus evolve after a period of spread?
What virus is so powerful that it can’t even be killed by a monk’s essence and blood?

Now only Qi-training monks are infected. In the future, will foundation-building monks also be infected?
The mortality rate for mortals infected by this plague is quite high.

What about monks?
Will he also die from illness?
Du Youqian felt like his head was going to explode.

too difficult!
Who on earth could have committed such a heinous act!
What is the purpose?
It would be great if we knew the other party's purpose, at least we could resolve it in a targeted manner.

The most troublesome thing is this enemy hidden in the dark.

You don't even know if the enemy is real!
Although Du Youqian's divination concluded that this plague was a man-made disaster.

But it is also possible that some people accidentally created it, and it does not necessarily mean that someone is deliberately spreading the virus!

This possibility is not small.

Divination is not a panacea. When the level of the position is too high or the current information you know is too little, it is difficult to divine detailed things.

Du Youqian felt that since Xuetu and Jiangshan Duojiao left and Pang Zhenren was killed, there should be nothing in Monan that was of such a high rank that he could not predict.

Even things related to Zhenren Pang would be divined by himself back then.

This shows that with the personal blessing of the great supernatural power of "Knowing the Destiny" and the inexplicable improvement in status after meeting the emperor in the dream, there is a certain probability that people and things at the sixth level of divination can be divined.

Therefore, as long as you know more details about the plague, you may be able to deduce the cause of the plague through divination, and even divination into how to cure the plague.

The good news is no.

Bad news comes every day.

Infected monks are being added every day.

And a month later, the worst news came.

One of the three monks infected in the first batch died.

This is the case of the First Death Monk. This fact makes the monks fearful of going to the mortal world to manage mortals.

It's just that the real person is frowning, and the beautiful Taoist nun often has a sad look in her eyes.

More and more monks are infected, and those alchemists who are unwilling to put down their dignity and study cheap treatment pills finally have a place to use.

Their research and development progress is pretty good, and it is estimated that they will soon be able to refine a relatively expensive elixir for treating the plague for monks.

Only Du Youqian is still leading a few alchemists to continue to develop cheap medicines for mortals. He currently has a clue, but it still takes time.

But what is lacking most is time.

A rough estimate is that in just two months from the discovery of the plague until now, more than a quarter of the mortals in the Monan Land have died.

And this speed will continue to increase.

The most frightening thing is that among mortals who have been infected and recovered by luck, there are also cases of secondary infection.

If this continues, Du Youqian's original estimate that only one tenth of the mortal population will die was too optimistic.

Perhaps, due to repeated infections, only one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand, or even fewer mortals would die.

There is no doubt that this is the biggest catastrophe in Monan. The key is that no one knows who is behind it.
