Infinite simulation from lock dragon well

Day 132. Facing the inquiry of the Queen Mother of the West, you showed no sign of panic. Coiled in the hall, you countered, asking the Queen Mother if the immortal elixir in her possession was lacking in any way.

You were well aware of the origin of the immortal elixir you had consumed, and therefore, you were not afraid to confront the Queen Mother.

Upon hearing your counter-question, the Queen Mother of the West was visibly stunned. Then, a smile appeared on her face, and she shook her head, stating that the immortal elixir was not missing. This was the very thing that puzzled her. She could clearly sense that you had consumed the elixir, yet none was missing. This was something she found difficult to comprehend.

Hearing the Queen Mother's words, you secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, you stated that whether you had swallowed the immortal elixir or not was not important. What mattered was that the elixir had never been missing. Wasn't that enough?

The Queen Mother of the West shook her head upon hearing this, indicating that she was satisfied knowing the elixir was not missing. However, she sensed that the immortal elixir within you had not been fully digested. She had invited you here simply because she wanted to help you resolve the problem within you.

As she said this, the Queen Mother of the West gave you a meaningful look, asking if you knew that the immortal elixir had significant drawbacks.

You were stunned for a long time upon hearing this and asked the Queen Mother what the drawbacks of the immortal elixir were. The Queen Mother then told you that the origin of the elixir was not so simple. Long ago, the immortal elixir was something despised by everyone. At that time, it did not possess the power to turn the rotten into the miraculous, as it does today.

According to the Queen Mother of the West, the former immortal elixir was a strange medicine that could revive the dead. However, the revived beings would become extremely ferocious.

The Queen Mother paused and then asked you if you had ever heard of the divine being, Yayu…

The divine being Yayu?

And the predecessor of this immortal elixir was a strange medicine that could revive the dead, but would cause them to become extremely ferocious?

Ji Zheng remained at the bottom of the Huai River, recalling a mythological story from the past.

The divine being Yayu, he certainly knew. A deity from legends, with a human head and a snake's body, possessing great power.

However, there were no related battle achievements, only a story related to it.

It was said that this Yayu, for some unknown reason, was jointly killed by a divine being named 'Erfu' and a divine being named 'Wei'.

However, this Yayu seemed to have a relationship with the Heavenly Emperor. After learning of this, the Heavenly Emperor was furious and imprisoned Erfu and Wei in a mountain, never to be released.

Afterward, the Heavenly Emperor couldn't bear to let Yayu die like this, so he had a wizard revive Yayu with divine medicine. But unexpectedly, after being revived, Yayu turned into a ferocious beast with the body of an ox, a human face, and horse hooves. Furthermore, he was mentally unstable, biting anyone he saw, and was extremely ferocious. The Heavenly Emperor seemed to have no way to deal with this, so he put Yayu into a river, hoping that he would have a chance to regain his sanity in the future.

However, later, when the ten suns appeared in the sky, causing chaos in the human world, Yayu rushed out of the river and launched an attack on humans.

His final fate, like Dafeng and Jiuying, was to be shot and killed by Dayi.

"This divine medicine is the original immortal elixir."

Ji Zheng quickly deduced this through the information in the simulation.

According to the Queen Mother of the West, the original immortal elixir was a strange medicine, and with the story of this Yayu, it was easy to deduce.

In mythology, the strange medicine that revived Yayu was the immortal elixir, but that was the initial version, without any other abilities.

The immortal elixir he consumed was the later, improved version.

This was also easy to see. That initial strange medicine was the earliest version of the immortal elixir.

Because the two had many similarities.

Especially this revival ability, and the ability to transform after revival.

As far as Ji Zheng knew, three beings had consumed the immortal elixir. The first was Yayu. After Yayu died, he consumed the immortal elixir and turned into a ferocious beast, without any sanity.

The second and third were Gu and Qinpei. These two things had swallowed half a stalk of the improved version of the immortal elixir, and both had transformed in appearance after death.

He didn't seem to really know what abilities the improved version of the immortal elixir had.

However, according to the Queen Mother of the West, this immortal elixir had other drawbacks.

Ji Zheng felt a little uneasy.

He seemed to have figured it out now.

Ji Zheng could only continue watching the simulation now.

With complex emotions, he raised his dragon head and continued to look at the screen in front of him.

…

You naturally knew about the divine being Yayu, so you recounted the story of Yayu to the Queen Mother of the West.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West was stunned for a moment, looked you up and down for a while, and then stated that what you knew was not far off. Yayu had consumed the earliest version of the immortal elixir, which had great drawbacks at that time.

Even though the immortal elixir had been improved now, possessing the power to turn the rotten into the miraculous, it still had drawbacks. The main drawback was the fear of the power of Yin Yang and the Five Elements. As long as they came into contact with the power of Yin Yang and the Five Elements, beings who had consumed the immortal elixir would be directly obliterated.

In addition, there were many other drawbacks, such as the fear of the Heavenly Emperor's power. The Heavenly Emperor had once despised the immortal elixir, so he had applied power to it. The immortal elixir naturally feared the Heavenly Emperor's power. As long as you came into contact with anything stained with the Heavenly Emperor's power, you could be easily killed.

Hearing what the Queen Mother of the West said, you were moved. You thought of the scene where you were once attacked by the Bow of the Setting Sun, and you suddenly realized that perhaps you didn't lose to the power of the Bow of the Setting Sun and the power of humans, but to the drawbacks on your body.

You also thought of Dayi, who had also fought you with the Bow of the Setting Sun, but could not kill you. After thinking for a while, you understood that the gap between Dayi and you was too great. Even with the Bow of the Setting Sun, it was useless. Even if you had drawbacks, it was useless in the face of such a huge gap.

Moreover, Dayi's performance in the battle of Buzhou Mountain was brilliant enough. In a situation where many human powerhouses, such as Dayu and Tang Yao, were swept away by you, Dayi could continue to fight you, which turned out to be because of the Bow of the Setting Sun.

Seeing you like this, the Queen Mother of the West understood that you had already thought of many things, and then told you that although the immortal elixir had many drawbacks, it also had many benefits. Enhancing combat power was only the basics. The most powerful thing about the immortal elixir was the ability of immortality. Unless you were directly obliterated, you would be able to quickly recover your combat power and continue fighting. Its ability could almost make you immortal. After listening, you trembled in your heart, not knowing whether the benefits outweighed the drawbacks, or the drawbacks outweighed the benefits…
