155: Chapter 155 The Addiction to Elixirs, the Addiction to Daoist Companions

The Luo brothers were overjoyed when Fang Huai agreed, and after thanking him profusely, they hurriedly headed out.

Their destination was certainly not the legitimate Medicinal Pill shops on the main street, but rather the Loose Cultivator market in the southeast corner of Ningyun City.

Upon entering the market, Fang Huai did not notice anything unusual. The scent of Medicinal Pill was overpowering, refreshing to smell.

It was just that the pill toxin content in the scent was quite high, clearly indicating that the alchemist's methods were crude.

After entering the market, the Luo brothers had a clear objective and hurried toward an inconspicuous small stall in the depths.

"Stall owner, do you have any spirit recovery pill?"

The stall owner smiled broadly: "Naturally, I have this kind of Medicinal Pill."

Having said that, he waved his palm, and dozens of jade-green bottles containing spirit recovery pill appeared on the stall.

Luo Xiao squeezed his eyes: "The spirit recovery pill I'm talking about doesn't just recover Spiritual Qi; it also needs to restore spirit and vitality."

The stall owner showed an 'I understand you' expression, then waved his palm again.

The jade-green bottles turned into blue jade bottles.

Luo Wei scratched his head and said: "Is your Medicinal Pill pure? Don't let me buy inferior goods."

The stall owner said solemnly: "Fellow Daoist, these words truly hurt my heart. If it were a regular spirit recovery pill, my Alchemy technique might not be as good as others, but for the kind of spirit recovery pill you are talking about, my Alchemy technique is absolutely superb."

Having said that, he poured out three pills from the blue jade bottle and handed them to Fang Huai and the Luo brothers respectively, saying: "These three are for a trial, no charge."

The Luo brothers immediately swallowed them, and after a few breaths, satisfied expressions appeared on their faces.

Fang Huai, however, stared at the spirit recovery pill in his hand without making any other move.

This spirit recovery pill refined with a special method was indistinguishable from an ordinary spirit recovery pill in terms of appearance, scent, or other aspects.

If it were placed among ordinary spirit recovery pill, an average person would definitely not be able to tell the difference.

Even someone as strong as Fang Huai, with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, could only identify its special nature through the label.

Seeing this, Luo Xiao tentatively said: "Brother-in-law, your future is bright, naturally you don't need this kind of thing. Do you want me to eat it for you?"

Fang Huai nodded, and Luo Xiao immediately snatched the spirit recovery pill and stuffed it into his mouth, while Luo Wei, seeing this, slapped his thigh, regretting being a step too late.

【spirit recovery pill】

【Evil Power Infusion】

【Evil Power Infusion: A spirit recovery pill containing Flesh Tai Sui. The recovery effect is extremely poor. Consuming a small amount can soothe the Dao Heart, but consuming a large amount is prone to addiction】

This thing can also cause addiction?

Glancing at Luo Xiao who had eaten two spirit recovery pill, he saw an 【Evil Power Erosion】 tag had appeared on him.

【Evil Power Erosion: The addictive poison of Flesh Tai Sui has entered the body. Withdrawal difficulty: Mild】

Fang Huai tentatively asked: "This stall owner, is this Medicinal Pill refined with a special method not forbidden from sale?"

The stall owner laughed: "What's the matter with that? The Danxia Sect doesn't care, so everyone sells it. Besides, Alchemy techniques vary, and the pill toxins are different. Who stipulated that pill toxins cannot have the effect of relaxing the body and mind?"

The Luo brothers each bought a bottle of spirit recovery pill and returned to the inn with Fang Huai.

Although these two were greedy for pleasure, they understood that this item should not be taken too much, otherwise it would be difficult to quit.

So they only bought a few days' worth, planning to secretly take a few pills each time while Luo Yao was out.

After returning to the inn, out of boredom, the Luo brothers taught Fang Huai a leisure activity called "Immortal-Demon Chess".

The chessboard is a five-by-five grid, with one side being Immortal and one side being Demon.

There are fifteen Immortals, in groups of three, located at one end.

There are two Demons, located at the other end.

Regardless of Immortal or Demon, they can only move one square horizontally or vertically each time. Immortals cannot kill Demons. When a Demon is adjacent to an Immortal, and there is no piece in the square in front of the Immortal, the Demon can jump over that Immortal and eat it.

The victory condition for the Demon is to eat all the Immortals or force the Immortals into a position where they cannot move.

The victory condition for the Immortals is to surround the Demon, making it unable to move and unable to eat the Immortals.

Although Immortal-Demon Chess is simple, it is extremely addictive. Fang Huai and the Luo brothers played until dusk.

But from the first game, Fang Huai had never lost. He controlled the Demon pieces and slaughtered the Immortal pieces every time.

After the Luo brothers lost more than a dozen games in a row, they exclaimed that Fang Huai was truly a celestial being, joking that if he were truly a Demon, he would probably turn the Immortal Realm upside down.

When Luo Yao returned to the inn, she saw the unusual behavior of the Luo brothers at a glance. Just as she was about to scold them, the Luo brothers looked at Fang Huai.

"Come in."

Luo Yao beckoned Fang Huai into the room, sniffed him carefully, and then said: "Fellow Daoist, your Foundation is deep. You must not learn from my two younger brothers. Some things, once started, are irreversible."

Fang Huai laughed: "Listening to your words, it sounds a bit like a nagging wife, but I must remind you that we are only in a cooperative relationship, not real Dao Companions."

Luo Yao hummed softly and said: "Becoming the Dao Companion of the eldest Young Miss of the Changfeng Chamber of Commerce is a wish that countless people dream of. In your mouth, it's worthless."

Fang Huai wrapped his arms around Luo Yao's waist and laughed: "Since you are unwilling to let me get addicted to Medicinal Pill, then let me get addicted to a Dao Companion."

The night was deep, and Fang Huai gently moved the hand Luo Yao had placed on him.

Luo Yao whispered: "Where are you going?"

Fang Huai tapped her nose with his finger and said: "I can't sleep, I'm going out to move around."

Luo Yao held his hand: "Don't go out, stay with me."

Fang Huai shook his head, his figure turned into a meteor, leaping out of the window frame.

He didn't have time for romance with Luo Yao. He had asked the stall owner who sold the spirit recovery pill during the day, and the other party was closing the stall before midnight.

He needed to find the other party again before they closed the stall.

After Fang Huai left, Luo Yao sighed.

Although she hadn't known Fang Huai for long, she had an inexplicable feeling for him in her heart.

As the eldest Young Miss of the Changfeng Chamber of Commerce, she was immensely glorious, but only Fang Huai had ever done anything inappropriate to her.

She should have hated Fang Huai, but for some reason, ever since she was swallowed by the Formation-Breaking Demon that day, she had hoped that this person could become her true Dao Companion.

In the market, Du Hai scanned the passing Cultivators like a hawk.

He was the stall owner who sold the spirit recovery pill to the Luo brothers during the day, and he was currently worried because he hadn't met his sales target.

There was only half an hour left before closing the stall. By then, the Pill Tyrant Huang Long would inevitably use the Heart-Piercing Curse to torture him if he saw that he had only sold this many Spirit Stones today.

The Heart-Piercing Curse specifically attacked a Cultivator's Divine Sense and was unsolvable; every experience of it was worse than death.

But he had no choice but to go back; after all, he was already addicted to Flesh Tai Sui.

The concentration of Flesh Tai Sui in these spirit recovery pill he sold was not high enough to alleviate his pill addiction.

"Damn it, it's all the fault of those bastards from the Profound Sword Sect for promoting Blood Jade Worm Gu Cultivation. The hallucinogenic effect of Blood Jade Worm is far higher than Flesh Tai Sui. Everyone has gone to cultivate Gu, so who is still coming to buy these Medicinal Pill made of Flesh Tai Sui!"

"Huang Long is also shameless, actually wanting me to sell thirty Spirit Stones worth of Medicinal Pill every day. He doesn't even look at what kind of bullshit he's refining."

Muttering while cursing, his hands didn't slow down. If he went back late, he would have to endure the Heart-Piercing Curse for another incense stick of time.

Just as he finished packing his bags and was about to leave, a low voice came from the corner.

"This Fellow Daoist, I wonder if you can refine high-quality Medicinal Pill that can restore spirit and vitality?"
