Special circumstances!

Chu Xinghe watched the three Clan Elders being mysterious and didn't ask.

The Second Clan Elder and Third Clan Elder heard that Chu Xinghe was to be placed with Da Hua.

They suddenly looked up at the Great Clan Elder.

"Great Clan Elder, you're not jealous of others' good looks, are you? You're deliberately putting him with Da Hua."

The Great Clan Elder's beard bristled, and he glared at the two Clan Elders.

"At my age, almost with one foot in the grave, how could I intentionally bully someone just because I'm jealous of a young man's good looks?"

Gu He and You Lan sighed, watching the three Clan Elders argue.

"If you don't have the courage, then let me have this Clan Elder position."

As Gu He's voice fell,

The three Clan Elders immediately took action.

Slap, slap, slap.

Three slaps landed consecutively on Gu He's head.

Chu Xinghe felt his hand being pulled.

A cute little girl was pulling Chu Xinghe's hand.

"Big Brother, you're so handsome."

Chu Xinghe squatted down and patted the little girl's head.

"You're very cute too."

The little girl's face broke into two dimples when she heard Chu Xinghe praise her.

"Big Brother, I'll give you a gift."

As the little girl finished speaking, she pulled out a Toad-like Insect from her embrace.

She carefully placed it in Chu Xinghe's hand.

Chu Xinghe wanted to pull his hand back.

This Toad-like Insect had five colors, indicating it was highly venomous.

"Big Brother, don't be afraid, it won't bully you."

Seeing that Chu Xinghe didn't take it,

The little girl thought Chu Xinghe didn't like it.

"Big Brother doesn't like it?"

After saying that, she touched her head, and a palm-sized centipede appeared.

Then she touched her trouser leg, and another insect appeared.

Chu Xinghe didn't know what to say.

"Gu Ling, don't scare others."

At this moment, Gu He hurriedly came before Chu Xinghe.

"Chu Xinghe, this is my daughter, Gu Ling. She's still young, please don't be angry."

Chu Xinghe shook his head.

He naturally wouldn't hold it against this little girl.

He could tell that the little girl had no ill intentions.

A light appeared in Chu Xinghe's eyes.

He saw the little girl's fate.

A house-sized Toad-like Insect emitted a misty fog.

People in the village died one after another.

A masked person stood on the giant Toad-like Insect.

Around him was a vibrant green venomous snake.

It was only palm-sized, with red eyes.

"Alright, first change his clothes. The Holy Emissary hasn't arrived yet."

The Great Clan Elder walked around Chu Xinghe once.

"Young man, just settle down and don't run around. There are Gu worms everywhere here. Even we don't dare to run around, or we might lose our lives."

Chu Xinghe nodded.

Soon, Gu He cleaned a room for Chu Xinghe.

Chu Xinghe also changed his clothes.

The women in the village's eyes lit up when they saw him.

"If this old woman were twenty years younger, I'd definitely ride him."

"Me too."

Many young maidens looked at Chu Xinghe, a little restless.

Such a handsome person had never appeared in the village before.

The Great Clan Elder took out a few books.

"It's better to guide than to block. Take these books; they are all about cultivating Gu worms. See if you can understand them. You can ask me if you don't."

Chu Xinghe took them: "Thank you, Great Clan Elder."

The Great Clan Elder waved his hand.

"Go ahead and read. I'll call you for dinner later."

Chu Xinghe nodded.

He looked at the books in his hand.

Inside were methods for cultivating Gu worms.

First, one must Cultivate their own Gu Spirit.

One could use the Gu Spirit to help themselves Cultivate, or to fight.

Chu Xinghe pondered for a moment.

This thing was similar to beast taming.

It was about continuously strengthening the Gu Spirit's abilities.

The Gu Spirit was related to one's vital blood and Mental Energy.

Gu Spirits also had strengths and weaknesses.

This had no specific definition.

It depended on the individual's cultivation ability.

As long as one had the ability, even an ant could be cultivated to be very powerful.

The following sections introduced the methods of cultivation.

Using poison, or using Spiritual Power, or feeding other Gu worms.

The simplest way was to sacrifice Gu of the same type as the Gu Spirit to one's own Gu.

This was also the quickest and safest method.

Of course, cultivating a Gu Spirit could also lead to death.

In that case, one would also suffer severe damage.

Chu Xinghe looked at the book.

He always felt that these books had some problems.

Chu Xinghe could see that these people in the village had a hidden power within their bodies.

This hidden power occasionally drained their vital blood and Life Qi.

However, it was very weak; if not for his Great Emperor Soul, it would be difficult to detect.

Could this be the ability of the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm?

Chu Xinghe continued to flip through.

The later parts introduced suitable Gu Spirits for cultivation.

Centipedes, snakes, toadies, and various other Gu Spirits.

"Xinghe, can you understand it?"

Gu He looked at the serious-faced Chu Xinghe.

Chu Xinghe nodded.

"Then you can choose a Gu Spirit."

Chu Xinghe shook his head.

Gu He was a little surprised.

"If you don't Cultivate a Gu Spirit, when the Holy Emissary comes, he will discover your tracks. At that time, the Holy Emissary might take you away.

The Holy Emissary is very strong; all of us in the village combined are no match for the Holy Emissary."

Chu Xinghe didn't speak.

He pointed a finger at Gu He's body.

Gurgle.

A Gu Spirit emerged from Gu He's body.

Gu He's eyes widened.

Even the others looked dumbfounded.

How could this be?

Without their active summoning, how could a Gu Spirit emerge from their bodies?

Gu He was also startled, even becoming nervous.

"I've lost my memory and don't know where I came from, but cultivating Gu Spirits is your cultivation method.

You Cultivate Gu Spirits to use them to control Gu worms of the same type for cultivation, absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to nourish yourselves.

But these Gu Spirits you Cultivate are slowly eroding your Life Qi. Instead of helping you, they are harming you."

Hearing Chu Xinghe's words,

Gu He instinctively retorted: "Impossible! The Holy Palace said that this can strengthen our cultivation and enhance our destiny. For so many years, generation after generation has used this method, one after another.

Gu Spirits are our most loyal companions; they couldn't possibly harm us."

Chu Xinghe didn't explain.

He formed a hand seal and placed it into Gu He's body.

Gu He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, he found that his Mental Energy had changed.

He could see inside his body.

He could see faint black lines on his bones.

They exuded decay and antiquity.

His blood was also not bright red; it was somewhat tinged with faint black.

Gu He slumped to the ground.

His head was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"How can this be? How can this be?"

Everyone else also gathered around.

Chu Xinghe looked at the Great Clan Elder.

"Great Clan Elder, do you have nothing to say?"

The Great Clan Elder looked at Chu Xinghe, who was suddenly staring at him.

He sighed.

"Young man, leave. You can no longer stay here."

Seeing the Great Clan Elder's appearance, many people realized.

The Great Clan Elder must know the situation.

Why was all of this happening?
