Chapter 562 Lingzhu cures diseases, Qingyan Pharmaceutical

She is finally dying.

Fairy Jin Feng was half awake and half asleep, unable to tell reality from illusion.

Sometimes, her mind was filled with the eyes of her lover who couldn't close when he fell down, with disgusting and strange poisonous insects crawling out of them, leaving only two pitch-black holes.

When she opened her eyes, she seemed to see herself again, and felt a numbness on her stomach, no, in her stomach... there was something crawling inside.

She didn't dare to think too much, so she closed her eyes again and thought of the rice field again.

In the pitch-black rice field, countless small gray dots flew up, like dust, but they seemed to have eyes and chased her.

Fairy Jin Feng didn't care about her lover and turned around and sped away.

Behind him, there were the panicked screams and painful wails of mortals, and the most terrifying thing was the final dead silence.

The gray spots spread very quickly. She didn't look back and ran for her life, but she couldn't escape. Gradually, she heard a buzzing sound in her ears.

She thought she was doomed.

But the Yuanci formation that Jiushan Sect had just built saved her.

Drum beats sounded on the black mountain, and then a golden light lit up. With the mountain top as the center, it spread out in all directions like a circular golden carpet.

Golden light enveloped her and shone into the gray haze behind her, like sunlight illuminating shadows.

Then, she saw the Nine Mountains disciples flying towards her and fainted.

When she woke up again, she saw herself lying in a room, her acupoints were foggy and even her golden elixir was not as bright as before. She knew that she could not escape and could only wait for death.

The door rang.

She opened her eyes slightly and looked towards the door.

I couldn't see his face clearly, but the sunlight outside the door shone on the visitor, as if he was inlaid with a golden edge.

She fainted again. Before she fainted, she heard a familiar voice shouting:

"Senior Sister."

…

"Senior Sister, this Gu worm seems to be different."

Zheng Fa looked at the Golden Phoenix Fairy with a silver gleam in his eyes. At this moment, he did not care about the difference between men and women and looked at the Golden Phoenix Fairy inside and out.

Even Senior Sister Zhang didn't care and was observing the situation of Fairy Jin Feng.

"This poisonous insect is extremely tiny and easy to kill, but it spreads very quickly. No, it reproduces very quickly," explained the disciple who was watching over the place. "Any living thing that gets infected will turn into this thing..."

The disciple paused, then found a phrase that was very characteristic of Jiushan: "Automated machine tools."

“…”

Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang burst out laughing and asked, "Have you collected them?"

"The sample has been saved."

Zheng Fa nodded to Senior Sister Zhang, who held the Pure Bamboo in her hand and brushed it towards the Golden Phoenix Fairy on the bed.

Green light with golden fragments sprinkled on the bed. Fairy Jin Feng's body trembled, and a black gas spurted out of her ears and nose. The brows that had been frowned for half a month finally smoothed out.

"It seems everything is fine."

"She's lucky." Senior Sister Zhang also nodded. "She was close to the formation, wasn't poisoned too deeply, and her cultivation is pretty good, so she was able to hold on until now."

Zheng Fa's expression grew heavy upon hearing this.

The loss suffered by Jiushan Sect this time was not small - although those who died were all mortals and cultivators who originally belonged to Haori Mountain, Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang also regarded them as the wealth of Jiushan Sect.

"How is the Shenxiao Fleet?"

"Thank you, Fairy, for your rough but meticulous approach. The Shenxiao warship can also connect to the Yuanci formation, so the response is very fast." Senior Sister Zhang shook her head. "We also lost three teams."

The three teams consist of thirty Shenxiao warships and nearly a hundred disciples.

Just like what Senior Sister Zhang said, as a vanguard, this loss is actually not that big, not to mention that the cultivation level of this group of disciples is relatively low.

But this was also a rare major loss for the Jiushan Sect.

Zheng Fa dared to say that Jiushan Sect had invested a lot of effort in every disciple.

Seeing his unhappy expression, Senior Sister Zhang asked, "Is it the Gu God?"

"That should be it. I went to the front line to investigate the origins of these poisonous insects, but found nothing."

Senior Sister Zhang nodded gently: "With your strength, if you can't find it, then it must be the Dao Fruit. In this case, among the Three Demon Ancestors, at least we can be sure that the Gu God has arrived."

Zheng Fa said nothing. He looked at the situation of Fairy Jin Feng again. Not wanting to disturb her rest, he took Senior Sister Zhang and others out.

This is a newly built courtyard located in a barren mountain with no human habitation around, in order to prevent the spread of poisonous insects.

After discovering the poisonous insect, Jiushan Sect immediately built more than 20 new "battlefield wards". He took Senior Sister Zhang to visit all these wards before arriving at a hill on the front line.

Xie Qingxue, Uncle Pang and other senior members of the Jiushan Sect were all on the top of the mountain, looking towards the direction of Haori Mountain.

"How's it going?"

"There are more and more of them." Uncle Pang's expression was grim. "Over there, it's simply a nest of insects."

Zheng Fa looked ahead and saw a distinctly colored line on the ground.

On this side of the line is the territory occupied by the Jiushan Sect. The soil is yellow, the grass is green, and the golden light of the Yuanci Array keeps sweeping across.

On the other side, there was a land of black and gray, mixed with blood red and pale green, with waves surging on the ground.

"Is this a Gu insect?"

“It’s all…”

Looking at the black "tide", Zheng Fa felt a chill in his heart.

The swarm of insects was so densely packed that there was no gap at all, and it was boundless, extending all the way to where the sea and the sky met, forming another boundary line on the horizon.

The swarm of insects moved slowly forward, leaving dark green slime on the ground.

Anyone could see that the land opposite was no longer habitable.

Not only can people not live there, even plants and trees cannot survive.

The fate of the mortals and monks on the land can be imagined.

"How effective is the Yuanci Array's defense?"

"More than ninety-nine percent." Uncle Pang made a joke with a hint of humor. "The disciples' favorite task right now is to clean up those insect corpses. I heard from the disciples of the Alchemy Academy that they are very useful and worth some money."

"Anything else missing?"

"We only discovered this recently." Uncle Pang's eyes lit up with silver light. "Look in the air."

Zheng Fa also used his Dongxu Spirit Eyes to look into the air and immediately noticed something unusual.

Countless white dots are floating in the air.

These white spots really look like dust, without any vitality or spirit. They just have a long and thin tail, like little white tadpoles, floating in the air.

"Is this... insect eggs?"

"We think so, too. This thing has no spiritual energy, so the Yuan Magnetic Array can't detect it. But if the disciples inhale it, within three to five days, mushroom-like poisonous insects will grow on their heads... Fortunately, these insect eggs are ignorant and inanimate, so the Dust-Clearing Talisman and the Disease-Removing Talisman can defend against them."

Zheng Fa was silent for a moment, then looked at the elders and asked, "What do you think?"

Uncle Pang and the old man exchanged a glance, and it was the old man who spoke up: "Our idea is to stop for a while. The Shenxiao Fleet has also suffered a bit."

"Most importantly, what's the point of occupying that area?" The elder pointed at the insect swarm. "It's a completely barren land, and there are all kinds of diseases."

This is also what Zheng Fa thinks - among the three demon ancestors, the Gu God is probably the most troublesome one for the Jiushan Sect.

It's not because of anything else, it's just because the Jiushan Sect relies on a large number of people and has even more Gu Shen Insects. If a large number of them die, this person doesn't seem to feel any pain.

The disciples of Jiushan Sect dare not consume so much energy.

On the other hand, Zheng Fa also had to calculate the benefits of war.

That piece of land has been contaminated by the insect swarm. To any immortal sect, its value is extremely low. It can be said to be pure rotten land.

Adding the investment in eliminating the insect swarms, it is really a loss.

This Gu God can be said to have taken the art of clearing the fields and fortifying the city to its extreme.

"Master, do you mean to focus on defense?"

"Unless we can find the Gu God."

This is even more troublesome.

If the Gu God shows up, they can try to capture the thief and the leader, which may be feasible.

But when Zheng Fa ventured to investigate before, he didn't even touch the hair of the Gu God. He even felt that the Gu God seemed to be deliberately avoiding him.

"It's strange. This Gu God doesn't seem to want to attack us." Xie Qingxue said, "The power of these Gu insects is limited. As long as the disciples are careful, the damage won't be too great."

"Given his true immortal demon ancestor's strength, he should have more powerful methods."

Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment before he finally understood: "You mean, the Gu God wants to drag us down?"

"Very likely."

Zheng Fa frowned slightly when he heard this. Xie Qingxue said this to oppose passive defense - he didn't know what the Gu God wanted to do, but it was definitely not a good thing.

He looked at the swarm of insects, and one of the white beetles raised its compound eyes and looked at him.

"Is this Zheng Fa?"

In a city on Haori Mountain, the naked Gu God leaned against the railing, not avoiding the gazes of people inside and outside the surrounding buildings - because there was no one else in the city.

There were only a few people from Lu Yunluo's three clans serving beside her, and they didn't dare to look at her at all.

Hearing her question, one of the Lu clan members looked up at Zheng Fa, who was frowning in the light curtain, and nodded, "That's the thief! Your Majesty, why don't you..."

"After hiding for so many years, I didn't expect Xuanwei to produce such a great man again."

“Your Majesty…”

"That formation is very powerful." The Gu God's expression was grim. "I have lost many descendants."

Descendants... The people of the three tribes felt a pang in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, the backbone of the Jiushan Sect is Zheng Fa. As long as he is killed, no matter how powerful the formation is, it will be useless!"

The Gu God glanced at him, seemed satisfied, and smiled: "You have a lot of ideas."

"I... uh, uh..."

The Lu tribe man who was speaking covered his neck and slowly fell down. A gorgeous mushroom grew on his head.

"A brain with ideas is the best for cultivating Thousand Silk Gu."

The other disciples from the three tribes took a few steps back in horror.

The Gu God continued, "That Zheng Fa is not easy to deal with."

“…”

"They're afraid." A green moth flew out from the Gu God's fingertips. "Every Gu that comes close to him is afraid. This person must have something that can restrain me."

"What should I do?"

"What should we do?" The Gu God chuckled. "I stopped them for you, isn't that good?"

"Can……"

"Who do you think you are, Haori Mountain?" the Gu God said coldly, "Let me fight for your life and death?"

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Remember, bring more people with you. Those with cultivation skills are best." The Gu God looked at the flood of Gu insects on the street. "I have lost too many descendants. I need to raise more."

Several people from the Lu clan looked at the man lying on the ground, not daring to speak, but feeling sad in their hearts:

The Jiushan Sect hadn't attacked yet, but the area under the jurisdiction of Haori Mountain was almost empty.

The Gu God didn't care about their thoughts at all. If it weren't for the original relics, she wouldn't care about Hao Ri Mountain at all.

Zheng Fa should have some tricks up his sleeve. If I fight him, won't that give Bai Gu and Zao Hua a chance?

Thinking of this, she looked back at Haori Mountain. After the matter of Haori Mountain was settled, the people of Jiushan Sect would also be food for her children.

Now, his descendants are enough to deal with him.

…

"This is very strange." Zheng Fa led Senior Sister Zhang down the mountain, his brows furrowed. "There are three Demon Ancestors, and only one Gu God has come. This is very wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"If they don't care about Haori Mountain, then the Gu God could have simply not come. But if they say they care, then only one person came, and it's obvious that they're stalling for time."

Senior Sister Zhang nodded in understanding and asked, "Do you think they have more important things to do?"

"Yes, and they are in the Nine Lights Heaven." Zheng Fa nodded, "Otherwise, these three Demon Ancestors wouldn't have been squatting there all this time."

Jiuyaotian...it might be related to the absence of Fusang tree.

The Fusang wood can be said to be a Taiyi-level opportunity, enough to drive the three demon ancestors crazy. If it is said that Jiuyaotian has other great opportunities, the probability is relatively small.

Originally, Zheng Fa was not in a hurry because the opportunity behind the Fusang tree would not run away.

But now that the three Demon Ancestors are watching, things are different.

In this case, it becomes more urgent and necessary to go to Jiuyaotian to explore.

But leaving aside the danger of Jiuyaotian, the Jiushan Sect was not foolproof either - they had not yet figured out the methods of the Gu God. If Zheng Fa left, and something went wrong with the Jiushan Sect, he would naturally regret it.

If he wants to leave, he also has to make arrangements for the Jiushan Sect.

The two walked to a courtyard on the mountainside, but did not enter the door. Instead, they shouted outside:

"Qingyan!"

"Master!" Zheng Fa's second disciple Mu Qingyan walked out and bowed to Zheng Fa.

"Can we go in?"

"Yes! It's been taken care of."

The two walked into the yard, which was a pharmaceutical laboratory with petri dishes, beakers and other things.

Most of the poisonous insects they had collected before were also sent here for research.

In the laboratory, there is also Elder Xiong, the master of alchemy, and there are some disciples from the Alchemy Academy beside him.

His eldest disciple Gu Chang walked out of the side room and was now walking towards him.

"What results have been achieved?"

"We have found the special medicine that Master mentioned."

"So soon?"

Elder Xiong laughed and said, "Fairy Mu's speed in developing new medicines is unheard of in all my years of alchemy... I'm truly impressed!"

Mu Qingyan smiled lightly and lowered her head.

Zheng Fa also felt a little proud. To be honest, Mu Qingyan's pharmacy group's achievements have not been very great - the accumulation of Xuanwei Dandao over the years is really not something that Jiushan Sect can catch up with in just a few decades.

But in terms of research and development speed, Mu Qingyan, with his modern research system, is enough to crush Tai Shang Dao.

The Gu God has not appeared in Xuanwei for a long time, and none of the sects have elixirs to deal with the Gu insects, so Mu Qingyan just happened to be of some use.

This is also the reason why Zheng Fa transferred Mu Qingyan here before.

Seeing Zheng Fa's admiring look, Mu Qingyan quickly said, "Senior brother's discovery is much more impressive than mine!"

"Gu Chang, what did you find?"

Gu Chang saluted Zheng Fa before speaking, "I seem to understand how the Gu worms transmit information... or rather, how the Gu God controls so many insect swarms."

Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

He had never really thought about this. He was able to control the disciples of Jiushan Sect at will because of Tongjian.

If the Gu God wants to control the Gu insects, he should have a set of methods, which may even be more sophisticated - you know, these Gu insects are numerous and have low IQs, so it is not easy to command them.

I didn’t expect that Gu Chang could actually discover something?
