A wisp of a sinister sneer flashed on the corners of Xu Lingchong's mouth as he withdrew a small yellow pill from his bosom and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word. This was precisely the antidote that he'd prepared for himself in advance.
Before he'd apologized to Lin Yi earlier, he'd already expected that Lin Yi wouldn't trust him, and it was only logical that he'd brought up the matter of exchanging wine cups. Thus, he'd added supplementary ingredients into the entire jug of spirit wine that he'd prepared. No matter who drank it, no matter which cup of wine they drank, they would surely fall for it, and there was no possibility of escaping.
Just as Lin Yi had speculated earlier, the supplementary ingredients that Xu Lingchong had added into the spirit wine weren't some potent ingredients with obvious effects. After all, the current situation was too sensitive. It had to be known that the great figures seated downstairs were all people with remarkable abilities, and even the slightest bit of unusual movements wouldn't be able to escape their perception. Thus, even if it was a drug that was added into the wine, it had to be a drug that wouldn't cause others to suspect it.
The drug that Xu Lingchong used this time was called Immortal Intoxication, and it was a type of simple hallucinogenic drug. During the period when the drug took effect, it would cause one's mind to be in a trance, and thus achieve the same effect as drunkenness.
According to legend, this was a type of drug that specifically targeted at confusing the divine sense of cultivators. Although its effects weren't considered violent and wouldn't cause death, and there weren't any side effects afterwards, but when the drug took effect, even immortals wouldn't be able to endure it. Thus, it had the name of Immortal Intoxication.
Immortal Intoxication was colorless and tasteless, and its effects were exactly the same as drunkenness. Thus, even if Laner and Lin Yi were to drink it in front of so many great figures, and even if the drug took effect, it wouldn't arouse any suspicions. It was even to the extent that the person involved might not be able to notice it. This was the unique point of Immortal Intoxication.
Perhaps this effect wasn't formidable, but if it was placed in some special situations, it was extremely practical and practically didn't carry any risks. Just like right now, it was a superb weapon to help Xu Lingchong succeed.
After the Drunk Immortal was taken with the spirit wine, it would slowly take effect over a period of time, and the medicinal effect would gradually increase from weak to strong. This was like the process of boiling a frog in warm water. When the medicinal effect reached its peak, even the gods would not be able to withstand it, let alone a mere Lin Yi.
According to Xu Lingchong's original plan, before Shanghai Laner and Lin Yi went upstairs, he would make them drink the Immortal Drunk. This way, when the effects of the drug were at its strongest, both of them would be in a trance. At that time, if he wanted to do anything, it would be completely up to him, Young Master Xu, and it would be effortless!
But now, Lin Yi had drunk the Drunk Immortal, but Shanghai Laner had not. If Xu Lingchong wanted to smoothly execute his next opportunity, he would have to spend a little more effort.
Fortunately, Shanghai Laner's strength was weak. With the strength of Xu Lingchong's Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, it was really easy to deal with her without leaving a trace. Moreover, he could guarantee that he wouldn't expose any clues.
While Xu Lingchong was scheming and preparing for the next step, Lin Yi followed Shanghai Laner to the third floor. Although he had been carefully feeling every change in his body, he still didn't feel any obvious abnormality.
Lin Yi couldn't help but mutter in his heart. There were only two possibilities to explain this. Either Xu Lingchong didn't drug her, or he really did drug her, and the drug was just as he had speculated, the medicinal effect wasn't fierce or fatal.
Just as Lin Yi was muttering, the Little Curly Bear next to him began to act up. The little guy stumbled, swayed his body, and jumped up and down everywhere. When he saw a table, he would climb, and when he saw something, he would smash it. He had the posture of a child who had gone berserk.
Lin Yi looked at this scene dumbfounded. He had never seen the Little Curly Bear be so violent. He couldn't help but be speechless and asked curiously, "What's wrong with it?"
Shanghai Laner, on the other hand, had an expression as if she was used to it. She shrugged and said, "What else can it be? This little guy is acting crazy because of the alcohol. In the past, every time he secretly drank wine, he would be like this. But today is a little strange. Why is it like this after just one cup? In the past, he would drink a lot, but his alcohol tolerance isn't so bad!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi shook his head thoughtfully, "No matter how good the little guy's alcohol tolerance is, it also depends on what kind of wine it drinks. Even if it can drink a thousand cups and not get drunk, there are some wines that it will get drunk after drinking only one cup."
"What kind of wine is it drinking? Xiao Bai used to drink spiritual wine, so there's no difference. "Shanghai Laner seemed to understand but didn't understand.
Lin Yi smiled and didn't speak. He walked to the side and sat down cross-legged. He began to circulate his mental cultivation method to get rid of the effect of the spiritual wine he just drank.
Through the performance of the Little Curly Bear, Lin Yi could now be 100% sure that the situation he had just speculated was completely correct. Xu Lingchong really added supplementary materials to the spiritual wine.
The endurance of the Little Curly Bear was far worse than that of a cultivator, so the effect of the medicine took effect so quickly. If it was Lin Yi himself, it should take a while for the effect to take effect.
No matter what, as long as it was not a violent and fatal poison, Lin Yi had a way to deal with it calmly. He himself was a healing master, and being poisoned was also a kind of internal injury.
However, Lin Yi soon discovered that although the medicine in his body was not violent and fatal at all, it was continuous. Every time it felt like it could be easily removed, but every time it came back immediately. After a long time, there was no sign of it being eradicated.
"This thing is really hard to deal with." Lin Yi shook his head, speechless. He'd always been confident that he'd be able to recover quickly no matter how heavy his injuries were, but this little medicine that wasn't even close to being fatal was like a sticky plaster that wouldn't go away no matter how hard he tried, leaving him helpless.
Lin Yi still didn't know that he was in Drunk Immortal at the moment. Even gods could only get drunk, how could it be so easy to get rid of it?
However, even if he couldn't completely remove the medicine in a short time, Lin Yi must try his best. This way, he could still control the situation in his body and not go crazy like the Little Curly Bear.
If nothing unexpected happened, Xu Lingchong should take action soon. Otherwise, he couldn't just put some medicine to help him get drunk.
"Little Junior Brother, what are you doing?" Seeing Lin Yi's weird look, Shanghai Laner couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing, I can't handle the alcohol, so I'm trying to get rid of it." Lin Yi smiled noncommittally.
"Get rid of the alcohol? Little Junior Brother, you just drank a cup and you can't handle the alcohol? How are you going to socialize with these old foxes in the future? It seems that Little Senior Sister has to get you a few jars of top-grade spirit wine in the future so that you can practice well! "Shanghai Laner still didn't understand the reason and giggled.
