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

Chapter 340 Finally got a clue
Du Youqian judged that this plague was not an infectious disease, but a magical power, naturally because:
There is absolutely no way there is any virus in this world that can be infected and spread through the spiritual consciousness of monks!

Divine consciousness is not an entity, but an extension of spiritual power.

What kind of virus can be parasitic on spiritual consciousness and spread through spiritual consciousness?

Unless it's not a virus!

The reason why Du Youqian targeted this plague as his magical power was naturally because no spell in the world was so powerful.

The infection caused by magic can never infect the immortal Jie Dan.

Only supernatural powers!
"Fellow Taoist Wuai, are you infected with this plague?" Du Youqian asked in a deep voice.

Aunt Mei didn't answer.

She was hesitant to tell the truth. If she didn't tell the truth, it would be troublesome if fellow Taoist Baili accidentally came into contact with her.

If he told the truth, fellow Taoist Baili would be worried and would even do something regardless of his own safety...

With a "squeak", the door was pushed open. In the stunned eyes of Taoist Sister Mei, Du Youqian appeared in front of her, with a slight smile on his sickly face, "It seems that you are infected."

"Fellow Taoist Baili, close the door quickly! Don't come into contact with Pindao. Pindao must be infected." Taoist Aunt Mei turned around.

"It doesn't matter. Don't move, let me take a look." Of course Du Youqian was not lustful and wanted to appreciate the beauty.

Instead, he will use his spiritual consciousness with all his strength, observe the details, and try to discern the evidence that Taoist Beauty is infected by supernatural powers.

The beautiful Taoist nun turned around and saw that he was staring at her face with bright eyes. She felt a little shy for some reason, so she continued to turn her back to him.

Of course this was just self-deception... How could she not feel it when Du Youqian used his spiritual sense to see through it?
And using spiritual consciousness to gain insight is more detailed than seeing with eyes.

Not much to say, I understand everything I understand.

But Du Youqian's move was not to tease the beauty, so he did not use his spiritual consciousness to penetrate into the beautiful Taoist nun's sensitive parts. The beautiful Taoist nun could naturally feel it. Did not stop.

But the more this happens, the more exciting it becomes.

This made the beautiful Taoist nun feel embarrassed and anxious, but it was hard for her to get angry.

If Du Youqian really stopped his consciousness to penetrate her sensitive parts, she would have become angry a long time ago.

"Fellow Taoist Baili, what are you doing?" Taoist Sister Mei's voice was trembling.

"Don't move." Du Youqian did not explain.

Fanghua snorted angrily in the room.

Under constant observation, Du Youqian finally discovered some faint traces wrapped around the golden elixir of the beautiful Taoist nun.

That must be what he is looking for, the magical poison that spreads the plague!
And that level of entanglement means that the magical power of the plague has been highly integrated with the spirit of the beautiful Taoist nun, and they are entangled together, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

Those traces are really difficult to detect. If you don't look for them consciously, you will probably ignore the clues.

Du Youqian's expression became serious.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Select a few mortals who are confirmed to be infected, Qi Practicing Monks, and Foundation Establishing Monks, and send them to a room together. I'm going to take a look."

Taoist Aunt Mei also noticed and was a little surprised: "Fellow Taoist Baili, have you made any new discoveries?"

"Yes," Du Youqian thought for a while and decided to reveal something, "This is not an ordinary plague. I suspect that this is a plague created by a certain Master Jiedan with his magical power. Therefore, the mode of transmission, infection speed, and fatality rate are all different. Far more than an ordinary plague. I will carefully examine the people you find. If it is confirmed that this is a plague created by magical powers, then we will have to adjust what we do next."

Taoist Aunt Mei nodded: "Then the source must be killed to completely end this plague."

Taoist Aunt Mei is not shy about talking about killing people. She kills when she needs to. She is very decisive and will never be merciful at a critical moment.

"In addition," Du Youqian added, "we need to keep a close eye on all those Demon Sect camp disciples who came a few days ago. I suspect that some of them are connected with those behind the scenes spreading the supernatural plague."

Soon, Master Wuai followed Du Youqian's instructions and arranged a cave to place some mortals, Qi Practitioners and Foundation Establishment Monks infected in it.

After Wu Fei, the leader of the Demon Sect camp, informed Nong Jiasong, he personally came forward to ask Gu Kechen and Feng Yi to give up their resistance and accept house arrest, pending investigation.

There is nothing you can do about it. If you don't accept house arrest, then you will be beaten to death. Let's investigate the body...

Du Youqian ignored the investigation for the time being.

He checked every mortal and monk in the isolation cave.

It was finally determined that they were infected with the same magical poison.

Although the infection methods were different, and the symptoms of the disease ranged from mild to severe, traces of the seemingly invisible magical poison were found in their bodies.

Of course, the magical poison they were infected with was not without difference.The biggest difference is that the magical poison that mortals are infected with penetrates into the qi and blood of the whole body. It is very light and thin, and it is impossible to find it if you don't search for it deliberately.

Although the poison in every mortal's body is extremely diluted, mortals' bodies are weak and unable to resist. The condition often worsens after a few days of infection, and death occurs in 10-20 days.

The poison in the body of the qi-training monk also penetrates into the qi and blood of the whole body.

Qi-training monks have stronger bodies, but the magical poison seems to be able to automatically adjust and grow according to the strength of the receptors. The poison in the body of Qi-training monks is much stronger than that in the bodies of mortals, so there is nothing that Qi-training monks can do. If you keep it for too long, if you don't get treatment, you may die in about 20 days.

The situation of the foundation-building monks is different.

The magical poison was completely entangled with the Dao Foundation of the foundation-building monk. This reminded Du Youqian of his initial state in this life. The poison was completely entangled with his spiritual roots, making it difficult to separate.

So far, there have been no cases of death among the foundation-building monks, but if the disease persists for a long time and cannot be eradicated, it will become increasingly weak, it will be difficult to gather mana, it will be almost impossible to fight, and the realm will fall.

Du Youqian suspected that it was not that the foundation-building monks would not die from the plague, but that it would take a longer time. When the foundation was completely destroyed, they would die.

This is just speculation, but it is not without evidence. These foundation-building monks who were sent here have been infected with the disease for different lengths of time. Some of their foundations have been eroded to the point where it is difficult to maintain the realm of foundation-building, while others are only slightly eroded.

It shows that this kind of magical poison is aimed at the monk's foundation in the body of the foundation-building monk.

It's like, in the body of the real person Jiedan, there is a golden elixir for monks.

After people contract the disease and die, they will not turn into zombies initially.

But perhaps the other party's magical power has been strengthened recently. All mortals who die will automatically transform into zombies within two days after death. There is no need for any method of corpse refining. This really makes some demon monks who study corpse refining amazed. .

Qi-training monks take less time to transform into zombies, and can often transform into zombies within a day.

You know, monks who study corpse refining often spend several years, or even more than ten years, before they can cultivate the corpse of a Qi-training monk into a qualified zombie.

And it also requires special crypts, some specific evil spirits, and special formations, which are very expensive...

Seeing the speed at which these infected people transformed into zombies, their eyes turned red.

The key is, it's still free.

If the mastermind behind the scenes promised to teach them this method of transforming zombies, they would probably all rebel collectively...

Of course, this kind of quickly transformed zombies are inferior to zombies transformed by orthodox methods in terms of physical fitness and maneuverability.

But it’s fast and free, so what else do you need for a bike?

Du Youqian thought to himself that if he were a monk specializing in corpse cultivation, he might not be able to withstand this kind of temptation.

After confirming his conjecture, Du Youqian remained silent and first participated in the interrogation of Master Feng Yi, Gu Kechen and others.

Then combine the existing clues to perform divination.

The results of the divination naturally surprised him.

After knowing that the plague was a magical poison, Du Youqian conducted divination based on all known clues and learned about drugs with potential for symptomatic treatment.

Then secretly prepare the medicine, and use medicines with different values ​​​​and refine them using different techniques for pill formation, foundation building, Qi training monks and mortals.

The medicines refined for mortals are large in quantity and full of potency. They use common medicinal materials that can be found all over the mountains and plains, and the refining speed is extremely fast.

For Qi-training monks, first-level medicinal herbs are used to refine first-level elixirs.

For foundation-building and elixir-forming monks, because the poison of magical power has become entangled with their Tao foundation and golden elixir, relatively expensive medicinal materials are needed. After taking the medicine, a special secret method of movement is needed to coordinate with the detoxification.

Du Youqian single-handedly managed all of this, and then he found the real person Wu Fei.

He asked Master Wu Fei to summon the top monks from Monan for a meeting.

Those attending the meeting were not all the leading figures from the first, second and third level sects.

Some of them were ranked second and third, because the first ranked Master Jiedan had already contracted the disease.

The bad situation in the past few days has left the monks in a bad mood, full of anger and despair.

The death toll continued to increase, and the sick monks became more and more seriously ill.

Even the Jie Dan monks have been infected a lot.

Amid the commotion, Du Youqian said nothing.
