Chapter 261: Ten Thousand Corpse Gu Poison

However!

The moment he turned around, something unexpected happened to Lin Yu.

Su Li, who was beside him, suddenly lost all her strength without any warning and collapsed limply.

This sudden turn of events instantly caught him off guard.

But out of instinct, he quickly extended his arms and pulled her into his embrace.

At this moment, Su Li’s complexion was still rosy, and her vitality was strong, but her consciousness had completely sunk, falling into a coma.

Looking at the beauty in his arms, Lin Yu’s expression changed drastically.

He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with a fierce glint as he looked at Moxie Battle, who was only a few steps away.

At this time, that old man had a sinister smile on his face, as if he had long known about Su Li’s sudden change.

“Luo Xingchen, haven’t you heard that old people become cunning? Do you think I would let her go without leaving something on her?”

Seeing Lin Yu’s gaze, Moxie Battle instantly felt much better.

From the moment he appeared until just now, all their confrontations had left him at a disadvantage.

Even his own grandson had backstabbed him, making him furious.

But, so what!

He still had a trump card he hadn’t used yet.

He originally didn’t want things to escalate to this point.

He just wanted to get the information he desired, even if it meant a little loss.

But now, it wasn’t about whether he was willing or not.

This kid was actually taking the rune and leaving; not only did he not get the information he wanted, but even the only cross-space communication rune was taken away.

How could he let this kid just walk away!

“System, help me check on Su Li? Are there any treatment methods?”

Lin Yu didn’t reply to Moxie Battle, that old schemer; he directly asked the system in his mind.

His face was cold.

He knew what this old man wanted without asking.

It was nothing more than wanting him to hand over the rune and, incidentally, reveal the method to leave the Gu Breeding Ground.

The rune was fine; it was unexpected wealth, so giving it away was acceptable, but as for the method to leave, even if he told it, this old man wouldn’t believe him.

Moreover, that was a method exclusive to the Lin family; outsiders couldn’t learn it.

If the method was useless, given this old man’s sinister nature, he still wouldn’t let Su Li go.

Anything else would be redundant; he might as well just ask the system directly.

“Lin Yu, your Master’s soul has been afflicted with the Ten Thousand Corpse Gu Poison, which is a relatively high-grade Immortal-tier Gu-type poison, controlled by the Gu caster.”

“Once the Gu Poison erupts, the soul will fall into a coma and will be slowly gnawed away until it perishes. It is a chronic Gu Poison.”

“There are two treatment methods: one is for the Gu caster to voluntarily remove it, and the other is an antidote. However, the antidote is difficult to find. ‘Wan Jiang’ represents tens of thousands of different types of Gu insects refined, and the antidote similarly requires a mixture of herbs that each Gu insect likes to eat, condensed and refined.”

“The most crucial point is that the Gu insects of the Ten Thousand Corpse Gu Poison are not fixed; each type of Ten Thousand Corpse Gu Poison corresponds to a different antidote.”

The system also knew the seriousness of the situation and directly stated the detected results.

“Is there an antidote in the exchange store? How many cultivation points does it cost?”

Lin Yu automatically ignored the poison’s composition.

Moxie Battle, that old man, was so confident; it would be strange if it were easy to resolve.

He wanted a solution.

“Not expensive, three hundred million will suffice. Although this thing is difficult to deal with, the Gu involved are not very high-grade. The reason it’s considered high-tier is entirely due to its refining method.”

That’s good!

Lin Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Currently, there were two sources for cultivation points: one was to completely take down Shangguan Yunxi, and all her destiny points would be directly fed back to him.

Shangguan Yunxi’s destiny points seemed to have increased again; he had checked after coming out of seclusion, and it had already risen from 1 billion to 1.5 billion, very quickly, which should mean she had obtained some other opportunity.

But he couldn’t find her now.

As for the second channel, that was his goal for this trip to the Ghost Domain—to find Gu Ming and continue to exploit him.

Compromising with this old guy was impossible; the cost of compromise would be even greater.

He just needed to make sure Su Li would be fine for a short period.

“Luo Xingchen, you should know what I want. As long as you give me what I want, I won’t do anything to Miss Su!”

Seeing Lin Yu remain silent for a long time, Moxie Battle spoke again.

However, his words were full of mockery.

He could tell that this Su Li seemed quite important to this kid.

He had found this kid’s weakness.

He didn’t believe this kid wouldn’t back down.

On the Eternal Continent, besides him, no one could wake Su Li.

“Hmph, old geezer, just stay in there. This Ten Thousand Corpse Gu Poison, I can cure it myself!”

Looking at Moxie Battle’s smug smile, Lin Yu snorted coldly.

Then, after putting Su Li into his inner world, he turned and walked away.

This old man wanted to threaten him? Simply wishful thinking.

However, after only a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, revealing a sinister smile as he turned back and said:

“Oh, I forgot to tell you, your Mo family is nothing to me. I, Luo Xingchen, have an Immortal King as my backer, hahahaha…”

With that, he completely ignored the shouts and threats from the old man behind him and left directly.

As for that last sentence, it was purely a malicious prank, deliberately meant to disgust the other party.

Luo Xingchen’s grave was probably already overgrown with weeds; he could spread rumors as he pleased.

Anyway, it had nothing to do with Lin Yu.

However, for the rest of his journey, he really couldn’t leisurely stroll along anymore.

Instead, he had to head directly to the Ghost Domain in the Central Region.

Although Su Li’s problem was not fatal for now, she would weaken with each passing day, so there was no time to delay.

Crack~~

He punched out, and the terrifying force instantly tore a crack in the void.

Immediately after, he stepped in and disappeared from his original spot.

This place was not close to the Ghost Domain in the Central Region at all.

If he were to still travel by spirit boat, it would take at least half a year.

Now that his strength was sufficient, he could completely shatter the void and use space to travel.

This would drastically reduce the time.

Meanwhile, at the village entrance, Moxie Battle watched Lin Yu disappear into the void, and his heart instantly turned cold.

He had originally thought that by grasping Su Li’s lifeline, he could control Lin Yu.

But he never expected that the kid was actually a junior from an Immortal King’s faction.

In front of an Immortal King, his Gu Poison was indeed useless and could be resolved with a flick of a hand.

He didn’t doubt Lin Yu’s words in the slightest.

Being able to instantly recognize his methods was definitely something no native of the Eternal Continent could do.

Moreover, at such a young age, he could already shatter space and travel through it, which only cultivators at the Loose Immortal realm could do.

To say there wasn’t a strong backer behind him, he wouldn’t believe it even if he were beaten to death.

To possess such terrifying strength at the age of twenty-something, even during his Mo family’s most glorious period, they hadn’t produced such a genius.

Other than an Immortal King’s disciple, he couldn’t think of any other possibility.

“Sigh, I miscalculated. If only I had known, I would have just befriended him!”

He sighed deeply, a look of regret appearing on his face.
