Bai Ruohuan screamed in disbelief, “This is impossible. Phantom Serenity Incense is a treasure that even I, the Bai Family, can rarely get. H-How did you know?!”
Xi Yue looked at him with a mocking grin. “So, you’re the one who brought the Phantom Serenity Incense. But do you know why it’s so rare?”
Dumbfounded, Bai Ruohuan looked at her with a confused look.
Phantom Serenity Incense was precious, but why? In fact, Phantom Serenity Incense was stolen from the Bai Family. He had known its effects well—it could cloud a person’s mind, making them act foolishly. If left untreated for three days, it would start eroding their divine sense and even lower their cultivation.
With such powerful effects, wasn’t its rarity only natural?
Xi Yue pressed a hand on the formation platform. Soon, a faint green powder appeared—Phantom Serenity Herb. “Phantom Serenity Incense is powerful, but it doesn’t work easily on those with strong divine senses. Plus, the herb itself isn’t completely colorless or odorless. The scent is faint, but someone with sharp senses can still pick it up. And just inhaling a small amount won’t do much.”
Bai Ruohuan finally couldn’t hold back and asked, “So, why is Phantom Serenity Herb so rare?”
The students who had been sighing over yet another failed prank on Xi Yue couldn’t help but perk up their ears, eager to hear the answer.
“That’s because Phantom Serenity Herb isn’t an average medicine, but a powerful catalyst.” Xi Yue smiled slightly and pressed a hand on the formation platform. Soon, next to the faint green powder, a small plant appeared, its color shifting between blue and pink.
“This is Serene Herb. On its own, it has a faint scent, but when ground into powder and mixed with Phantom Serenity Incense, it becomes completely colorless and odorless. Even a tiny bit of this mist can make a person feel weak and drowsy. If a Void Darkness Stage cultivator inhales too much without preparation, they wouldn’t be able to resist its effects either.”
Xi Yue looked down at the crowd and spoke slowly, “Phantom Serenity Incense mixed with Serene Herb—this is the infamous Drunkard Incense that even warriors fear. So, tell me, is Phantom Serenity Herb rare or not?”
As soon as Xi Yue finished speaking, Bai Ruohuan, who was closest to her, suddenly staggered and collapsed onto his seat.
He shook his head forcefully, but his eyelids grew heavier. His body felt weaker, as if he were about to collapse completely.
The same thing was happening to others in the classroom. Several students slumped weakly in their chairs, their expressions a mix of shock and fear as they looked at Xi Yue.
Yun Wenjing gritted his teeth, struggling to keep himself upright as he glared at Xi Yue. “How did you do this?”
Xi Yue flipped a hand, revealing a long, narrow green leaf between her fingers. Her eyes swept over the crowd with a faint smile. It wasn’t gentle but dripped with cold mockery. “You can look down on instructors, you can look down on me, but at least have the qualifications to do so. If you’re not skilled enough and still insist on making a fool of yourselves, be my guest.”
“You!” Jun Hongbo burst into fury, shooting to his feet, ready to strike. But his body wavered, and in the end, he could only collapse back into his seat, powerless.
Xi Yue acted as if she hadn’t noticed and continued, “One more thing. I should remind you that the poison of Drunkard Incense isn’t difficult to cure, but the antidote must be prepared with absolute precision. Any mistake in the process, or delaying treatment for more than a day, could lead to permanent mental damage—turning one into a mindless fool, never to recover.”
