It's only three years old, what kind of whitewashing system is this?

Chapter 341 Red Talisman

Inside the box were several mutilated bodies.

Men, women, and children were stuffed into boxes, with only half of their bodies remaining, yet they were still alive.

They let out pitiful howls, their expressions filled with pain, but the soundproofing array blocked their cries, preventing them from disturbing the beautiful scenery at the mountaintop.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone's expression changed, and they all felt uncomfortable.

What is the purpose of this cruel scene at Hongxing Cliff?

Zhou Nanchu, the master of Hongxing Cliff, smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. He's just a mortal."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions relaxed.

There is a difference between immortals and mortals. What is the difference between a group of mortals and ants in the mountains?

The reason he didn't kill anyone was simply because he was afraid of damaging other cultivators' property and causing trouble.

The crowd smiled again, but the same pitiful scene could no longer evoke any sympathy.

Even the kind-faced and benevolent monk Bu Chi only uttered a single Buddhist chant.

But the muscles in his face also relaxed.

Cultivators, even the most inept ones.

As long as one is a cultivator, that's enough.

Zhou Nanchu smiled: "There is a technique in the Hidden Gate that, when planted in ordinary people, can motivate them to work."

"But no matter how it is corrected, it will cause extreme pain, making it impossible to even live a normal life."

"Therefore, today we invite Master Bilu and his beloved disciples to come."

"We hope to pool our wisdom and efforts to find a suitable solution."

Everyone nodded, understanding: "Mortals are indeed lazy and need to be spurred on."

"It means finding a method that makes people indistinguishable in ordinary times, and only triggers when needed."

"Isn't this easy? What's so difficult about it?"

Listening to the group's discussion, Zhou Nanchu sighed, "We've tried everything we can think of, but we still can't solve the problem of the gate."

"Therefore, I would like to ask you all to help me find a better way."

As he spoke, he unleashed a spell, prompting everyone to exclaim in amazement, "What a mysterious spell!"

"This talisman technique... is truly cunning; no wonder it's so difficult to balance."

"Even a Saint Realm expert, once caught in this spell, would likely not be able to escape!"

"But if the sage does not die, perhaps there is another way."

A red spell struck the woman inside a box.

Her eyes immediately rolled back, and she let out a shrill, terrifying scream, her whole body trembling like a leaf.

The extent of the suffering is evident!

If death were an option, a woman would probably be willing to pay any price.

But this is Hongxing Cliff, and the surrounding area is full of doctors who treat and save lives.

How could we allow her to die?

Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhou Nanchu nodded with satisfaction: "The new red talisman is half complete!"

With the help of Jieyuan Mansion, Hongxingya developed a red talisman that could control people's hearts and minds.

Those forces that came to seek medical help were all secretly planted with red talismans, thus being controlled from within.

As a result, Hongxingya developed rapidly and almost won the imperial treasure.

Later, they suffered a blow, and the connection between the red talismans was broken by the Quasi-Emperor with force.

Hongxing Cliff was not only impacted, but also retaliated against by sects and families whose leaders and elders had died.

In the end, less than one in a hundred survived, and the rest were transferred to the Red Apricot Paradise.

After reconnecting with Jieyuan Mansion, Hongxingya devoted herself to research and created a new red talisman.

These red talismans have stronger control abilities, but they also have the drawback of causing extreme pain.

The deaths of mortals are not a pity; we can simply plunder from the outside world to replenish our resources.

However, if one wants to control a cultivator, the red talisman causes extreme pain and is therefore completely useless.

Master Chengbi has already helped develop the red talisman, but as for reducing pain, he hasn't found the trick yet.

Only elite students can come to discuss this together.

Originally, Jieyuan Mansion was full of elites, but those who came to listen to Xuncao Pavilion's lectures were even more knowledgeable in pharmacology.

We might discover a pleasant surprise and find a solution to the problem.

Soon, a student stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Student Li Hui, please open the altar to prepare the medicine."

The master of Chengbi Furnace nodded slightly.

Zhou Nanchu extended her hand: "Please!"

Immediately, a student named Li Hui summoned a pill furnace, and dozens of medicinal herbs floated into it.

In the blink of an eye, a large fire ignites in the furnace, extracting the medicinal properties from the ingredients.

Zhou Nanchu smiled: "Your skills are superb, and your prescriptions are well-balanced. You're a promising talent."

Cheng Bi nodded: "The Cliff Master is blessed."

Zhou Nanchu shook his head: "Unfortunately, good fortune is yet to come."

"This combination alone cannot relieve the suffering caused by the red talisman."

hum!

When the alchemy furnace was opened, a fragrant aroma filled the air, and the aroma of the alchemy permeated the air.

The crowd gasped in surprise. Li Hui's alchemy skills were already top-grade; if he were in the outside world, he would probably be the object of contention among various powerful forces.

Anyone from Jieyuan Mansion could become a sect leader, clan leader, or family head in the outside world.

The strength they displayed was astonishing and quite surprising.

Zhou Nanchu smiled: "Excellent skill."

Li Hui said confidently, "Please try the pill!"

Zhou Nanchu released a wisp of pure energy, which swept over a pill and stuffed it into the mouth of the person in the nearest box.

The man was still struggling in pain, the chains and shackles clanging.

But once the pill entered his mouth, he immediately became still.

His eyes widened, and a feeling of happiness welled up inside him.

When suffering lasts too long, even a brief moment of peace can be sweet.

Li Hui smiled: "I used..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man let out a bloodcurdling wail, his body thrashing wildly, oblivious to the wounds and cuts inflicted by the shackles.

Click!

The man painfully twisted his own neck and died completely.

This time, the disciples of Hongxing Cliff did not offer any assistance.

His mission is complete, as he can be used to observe the efficacy of drugs.

Li Hui's expression froze.

Zhou Nanchu smiled, not caring at all that someone had just died: "It's a pity, but it was also excellent. The medicinal herbs from Hongxing Cliff will be replenished."

"In addition, I will give you three more top-grade spiritual herbs. I hope you will accept them."

Li Hui was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, senior."

I didn't expect that even in failure, there would still be gains!

Zhou Nanchu said, "I only hope that you will have more exchanges with me in the future, and discuss medical methods together."

Li Hui greedily recited the name of the Heavenly Grade Elixir, nodding with satisfaction.

However, they did not notice the greed that also flowed in Zhou Nanchu's eyes.

Expensive bait naturally attracts expensive fish.

Then, several more students came up to the stage.

Each of them performed brilliantly and earned Zhou Nanchu's approval.

One person uses the principle of mutual generation and restraint of medicinal properties to kill the meridians while nourishing the flesh and blood, so that the pain of the body cannot be transmitted to the consciousness.

But unexpectedly, the pain directly affected the soul, having no effect.

One person used poison to numb all senses, including the soul. But the pain was so intense that it overwhelmed the poison.

One person attempted to improve the red talisman by focusing on magical techniques. However, due to its excessive difficulty, the attempt failed on the spot.

Zhou Nanchu shook his head. As expected, the difficulty was still too high, and there was no point in looking for this group of people.

It seems the only option is...

"Senior, let this junior give it a try." At that moment, a voice came from below.
