Chapter 1070: Chapter 1042: Symbiotic Gu

"Gu?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s judgment, even Zhong Tian couldn’t help but change his expression slightly.

He knew a bit about Gu Poison, but Zhong Tian had never seen a real Gu Poison firsthand.

He only knew that, compared to martial artists, Miaojiang’s Gu arts belonged to a completely different system.

Of course, although this system was small, it couldn’t be considered weak. Because, in legends, those invisible killing Gu Poisons are even more terrifying than martial artists.

Li Chen looked at Zhong Tian and began to ponder.

Gu Poison was not unfamiliar to him; he had even had personal contact with it. The so-called Gu Poison is merely a type of parasitic lifeform similar to insects lurking in the human body.

When one’s strength reaches a certain level, they can even force the Gu insect out of their body on their own.

But the thing found on Zhong Tian’s body made Li Chen find it somewhat strange.

Because it differed from typical parasitic or biotic Gu insects; what was found in Zhong Tian seemed more like a symbiotic state.

In other words, if he forcibly removed the Gu insect from Zhong Tian’s body, it would also harm Zhong Tian himself.

"This thing is a bit different." Li Chen furrowed his brows tightly.

After pondering for a good while, Li Chen still hadn’t found the best solution. Because, although forcibly removing the Gu insect would injure Zhong Tian, with some recovery time, he should be fine.

However, Zhang Yuwei was not a martial artist; forcibly removing the Gu insect from her, given her now weakened condition, might directly lead to exhaustion and death.

"Senior Brother, have you figured out a way?" Zhong Tian asked Li Chen with some unease.

"It’s a bit troublesome." Li Chen said, "Let me check the girl later to be sure."

"Alright! Sorry to trouble you, Senior Brother." Zhong Tian said hurriedly.

Li Chen smiled and tapped Zhong Tian’s head, "Don’t talk about trouble. When Master sent you out, he instructed me to take care of you. If I don’t handle your troubles, who will?"

Zhong Tian fell silent.

He wasn’t stupid; he knew Li Chen was telling the truth, and he also knew that Li Chen had indeed become angry just now.

He didn’t want to use the Ginseng Doll’s blood either, but Zhang Yuwei’s condition was terrible at the time, and he couldn’t find any useful medicine, so he had to rely on the Ginseng Doll.

"Ah... Brother Tian, and you two, the food is ready." At this moment, Zhang Yuwei suddenly popped her head out from the kitchen and said.

Looking at Li Chen and An Qin, Zhang Yuwei suddenly remembered she hadn’t asked for their names yet, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I’m Li Chen, and this is An Qin." Li Chen looked at the girl and smiled, "Mm, you can consider us as Zhong Tian’s family."

"Big Brother Li, Sister Qing, hello." Zhang Yuwei blushed slightly and whispered.

An Qin’s expression was somewhat strange. Li Chen saying he was Zhong Tian’s family was true, but she hadn’t even met Zhong Tian a few times, so what did he mean...

An Qin’s expression blushed faintly but quickly recovered.

"You probably already know, that kid knows a bit of martial arts, but he hasn’t learned it thoroughly. I came here, afraid he might get into trouble."

Li Chen examined the girl in front of him and smiled, "But, looking at it now, you indeed seem to have encountered trouble?"

Zhang Yuwei nodded shyly.

An Qin, sitting next to Li Chen, reached out a Jade Hand discreetly to Li Chen’s waist.

Li Chen’s expression changed abruptly, becoming serious instantly.

"Alright, let’s save the chit-chat for later. Let me take a look at you first." Li Chen said cautiously.

"Mm, thank you, Big Brother Li."

Li Chen waved his hand, "I’m not that old, just call me Brother Cheen."

The next moment, the soft flesh on Li Chen’s waist began to spin and jump.

Li Chen’s mouth twitched slightly, daring not to say anything further.

After a while, Li Chen withdrew his hand, his expression unusually calm.

"It’s nothing serious, it’s just that your illness is somewhat unusual, so most people haven’t heard of it. Mm... give me two days, I’ll visit my hometown and definitely cure your illness when I return." Li Chen said with a smile.

"Really?" Zhang Yuwei exclaimed with joy, "Thank you, Brother Cheen!"

"No problem." Li Chen smiled, waving his hand.

After the meal, Zhong Tian and Li Chen went downstairs.

Only then did Li Chen’s expression become heavy.

"As expected, it’s indeed a symbiotic Gu." Li Chen looked at the tense-faced Zhong Tian beside him and said.

"For martial artists, it might not be very lethal, but for ordinary people, it’s troublesome." Li Chen said.

"Senior Brother, what should we do?" Zhong Tian hurriedly asked.

Li Chen said helplessly, "This symbiotic Gu grows with the host’s development, increasing its demands. If initially, you had a Yellow Rank suppressing the Gu insect for her, until her natural death, your power could infinitely suppress the Gu insect, but now, the starting point of this Gu insect is too high."

"Once her body lacks the support of your True Qi, with her ordinary physique, within a month, the Gu insect may directly drain her life essence." Li Chen said.

"Ah... I..." Zhong Tian was somewhat bewildered.

"Alright, don’t be too nervous." Li Chen reached out and patted Zhong Tian’s shoulder, "There are two ways to solve the situation now."

Li Chen extended two fingers, "First, find the person who cast the Gu to relieve her of the Gu Poison."

"Second, find a professional to resolve the problem."

"Professional?" An Qin looked curiously at Li Chen, "You mean..."

"Correct." Li Chen nodded, "I plan to have people thoroughly investigate Linchuan and see if we can find the person who cast the Gu. If not, I intend to visit Miaojiang."

"Miaojiang?"

"Exactly." Li Chen looked at the two and shrugged, "I happen to have a reason to visit Miaojiang, it’s probably just a coincidence."

"However." Li Chen’s voice suddenly lowered, "From this girl’s situation, it must be induced artificially. Recently, I’ll have people search around Linchuan, Zhong Tian, you should take her to the Nether Army Base for now."

Li Chen looked at Zhong Tian, "Because, if it is indeed artificial, the person who cast the Gu definitely has motives. I’m not certain what actions they might take upon finding out about this ’unexpected gain.’"

"But..." Zhong Tian wanted to say something but was directly interrupted by Li Chen.

"No buts, this is decided!"

Li Chen’s eyes swept over the surrounding buildings, his gaze sharp.

"No discussion."
