Chapter 388 (2/2)

The youth obeyed Ji Chimei’s instruction. After stripping off his clothes, he obediently lied on the bed.

Ji Chimei raised her hand and pressed the youth’s Great Spirit point, Great Pivot point, and Life Gate point, these three big acupoints. As her fingers moved, an amazed expression could be seen on her old face.

“Raise!”

Ji Chimei turned her hands. The youth’s body levitated midair. In a flash, Ji Chimei’s figure drifted up. with her feet floating in the air, her hands constantly flapped the youth’s back and abdomen. After more than a minute, she then floated down.

“How is it?” After seeing the youth’s body back to bed again, Tang Xiu quickly asked.

“Venerable Lord, I know what kind of Gu Poison is in his body.” Ji Chimei respectfully replied after knocking out the youth with her hand, “I had once fought an old Demon Ancestor called Black Heart in the Immortal World. He was an expert in all kinds of Gu Poison. Originally, he had harmed a lot of people, poisoning some of them with this type of Gu Poison.”

“What is it, exactly?” Tang Xiu curiously asked.

“It’s the Heart-Brain Gu, an extremely vicious Gu Poison.” Ji Chime replied with all seriousness, “This type of Gu Poison can discharge beyond removing someone’s root of life and star destiny thread together and link up his brain area and heart. Once this root of star thread is broken, the victim implanted with it will die instantly. Additionally, this kind of Gu Poison releases its poison from time to time and will erode the person’s blood essence, corroding his bone marrows. However, the person who used this Gu Poison has poor ability. His low cultivation resulted in the Brain Heart Gu not being up to much, thus, this youth can still live until now.”

“Can you cure him?” Tang Xiu asked the issue he was most concerned about.

“I can. But I need some things.” Ji Chimei nodded.

“What kind of things?” Tang Xiu asked.

“Crepe Myrtle Kindle Symbol.”

“Have you considered whether I can make this ancient symbol?” Tang Xiu knitted his brows and forced a smile.

“In those days, Venerable Lord was able to move unhindered in the Immortal World and had innumerable divine abilities.” Ji Chimei said with a smile, “This subordinate only had a meager status at that time. Even though this one did hear Venerable Lord’s glorious deeds, this one never knew that you could craft this Crepe Myrtle Kindle Symbol.”

“I’m indeed able to craft this Crepe Myrtle Kindle Symbol. But my current cultivation is limited.” Tang Xiu smiled and said, “Even if I exhaust all my strength, I’m afraid I can only produce one in a day. Furthermore, the effect is also much worse. I don’t know whether it would still have an effect.”

“It won’t be a problem!” Ji Chimei nodded. Having said that, there was a look as if she wanted to say more, but was hesitant in doing so.

“What else do you want to say?” Tang Xiu asked when he noticed it.

There was a surprised flash in Ji Chimei’s eyes as she said, “Boss, I suspect that there are some inextricably link between Earth and the Immortal World. After all, this Gu Poison is extremely rare even in the Immortal World. Furthermore, ever since I arrived on Earth, I found many things which can be considered as peerless treasures in the Immortal World.”

Tang Xiu himself had long been aware of the special connection between Earth and the Immortal World. Therefore, he nodded and said, “In fact, I have also noticed some of the things you said. However, there are only a handful of cultivators at present. Those few in the cultivation world that I know of don’t know many secrets either. Hence, even if we want to investigate it, I’m afraid we can’t find out anything. Some people on Earth probably have some connections with the Immortal World. That, or some cultivators from Earth who had ascended to the Immortal World are using some divine ability to transport some things from there to Earth. In short, there are all kinds of possibilities.”

“Do you want me to secretly investigate it?” Ji Chimei asked, “Perhaps we’ll have unexpected discoveries.”

“Not for the time being.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “Your most important duty is to protect Yan’er and refine medicinal pills. As for other matters, wait until I have thoroughly cured Yan’er. It won’t be too late to conduct further investigations later.”

“I understand!” Ji Chimei respectfully said.

“Go buy the things needed to inscribe the symbol!” Tang Xiu said, “After you buy them, I’ll immediately craft the Crepe Myrtle Kindle Symbol.”

“Affirmative!”

After Ji Chimei departed, Tang Xiu didn’t awake the youth, instead, he went to the living room. Dao Master Ziyi and Miao Wentang stood up upon seeing him, as Tang Xiu then said, “We can save your disciple, but we need a special ancient symbol. I’ve ordered Ji Chimei to buy the materials needed. After I craft the symbol, she then can start the treatment.”

“You can really treat it?” Dao Master Ziyi was pleasantly surprised.

“Well, I’m someone who attaches importance to promises.” Tang Xiu said with a smile, “Naturally, if I don’t have the cure, I won’t say anything that slaps my own face just to look imposing. Rest assured and wait!”

“I’ve been waiting for a long time, it’s not a problem to wait for a while more!” Dao Master Ziyi nodded, and then said with a smile, “Benefactor Tang, don’t tell me you don’t want to have a look at the cauldron furnace.”

Tang Xiu looked at the wrapped furnace on the tea table. He then walked over gently unwrapped it.

_Hiss…_

When Tang Xiu looked at the golden yellow quadruped cauldron furnace, his eyes were wide like saucers. He couldn’t help but inhale a cold breath.
