At the same time, Southland.
The Min Gu Po was using her Gu magic to heal the Min woman. She had been injured earlier by the backlash of the Heart-Eating Gu and had yet to recover, requiring daily specialized healing techniques.
The person who is most proficient in witchcraft in the South today is Min Po.
The Fujian woman sat cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed. The Fujian woman chanted something, guiding the poisonous insect in the Fujian woman's body to restore her vitality. Suddenly, she felt something in her heart and her breath was choked.
"Ah, mother?"
The Fujian girl saw her mother suddenly stop talking, opened her eyes and looked to the side.
"Oh, mother!" Min Nu crawled to Min Po's side.
Veins popped all over Min Po's body, her hair turning from black to white at a visible rate, and gray-black sweat began to drip from her cheeks. Her fingertips suddenly grew longer, digging fiercely into her own abdomen, pulling out several poisonous insects and throwing them to the ground. After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief, covering her eyes and gasping for breath.
The Fujian girl's eyes turned red.
The three poisonous insects lay on the ground twitching, and gradually became silent.
In a palace in the South.
The visitor was in a hurry and knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the hall: "Min Po said that the Five-Colored Gu King is dead!"
The people in the hall took a deep breath, their faces turning dark blue.
"How could this be?" The man suppressed his anger.
"Could it be that he, a Central Plains person, captured our Gu woman and used her blood to remove the Gu?"
“How cruel!”
Liuyue Villa.
Although someone wanted to ask where the poisonous insect came from, it was not Eryi himself who asked the question.
The origins of the Gu worm and the organization behind this man were particularly important to Liuyue Villa. As a prominent force in the Jianghu, Liuyue Villa's Penalty Department was filled with capable individuals. Following Sang Xuezhen's instructions, they immediately imprisoned the man in the dungeon for a thorough interrogation.
As soon as the martial arts competition ended that day, Liuyue Villa was about to invite all the martial artists to come under the pretext of a celebration. In fact, it was to seriously discuss the matter of many people in Liuyue City being parasitized by poisonous insects.
"Time and again, these things think I'm a nobody in the Central Plains!"
First it was Alliance Leader Xiao, then it was Manor Master Sang. The Jianghu people were filled with rage, with nowhere to vent their anger.
"When we return, we will have our disciples wipe out his Southern Kingdom!"
Everyone responded.
Eryi had mixed in with them, just to fulfill Sang Xuezhen's request and investigate whether any of these Wulin people were still carrying the Gu worm or were infected. While the Wulin people were enthusiastic, she was absent-minded, silently calculating.
This new feature, [Automatic Energy Absorption Program], arrived suddenly. I used it without giving it much thought at the time, but I still have many questions afterward.
According to Ling Ling Ba's explanation, from now on, Er Yi only needs to use a part of his body to directly contact an object that can be converted into energy, and he will automatically absorb the object and convert it into energy. However, those already infested with Gu worms still need to be within the scope of the treatment station to remove the Gu worms from their bodies.
"So if I take the crystal core, gold, or silver directly with my bare hands, will it be converted directly?"
【Yes. 】
"Can this feature be turned off?"
[You can start or stop it by calling 008 or freely choosing it in the control panel.]

After absorbing the eight poisonous insects in the bottle, plus the five-colored poisonous insect king, a total of 34,600 energy points were obtained.
Speaking of the Five-Colored Gu King, Ling Ling Ba exclaimed, "The energy contained in this insect has already surpassed the peak value of a single object in this plane. What's its origin?"
Assuming that the energy value triples to five times with each level increase, a 12,000 energy value is roughly equivalent to a sixth-level crystal core in the Apocalypse Plane. However, the only remaining fifth-level crystal core in the Apocalypse Plane is currently under the control of the Central Security Zone, which is currently selecting its user. It's in short supply.
Eryi stayed for a while, and seeing that nothing was unusual, he took his leave.
Seeing this, Madam Sang personally escorted her out. Compared to Manor Master Sang, who remained handsome even at fifty, Madam Sang was plain. But she had a masterful way of interacting with people, and conversation with her was like a gentle breeze. She appeared gentle and kind, with a perpetually approachable smile that easily let people down. This, in turn, made Eryi understand why, despite Sang Xuezhen's actions, Liuyue Villa could continue to thrive.
Before leaving, Madam Sang gave Eryi a jade token: "Without Mr. Er's help this time, I'm afraid this matter would not have been resolved peacefully. If you have any urgent matters in the future, feel free to come to Liuyue Villa to find me."
After Sang Xuezhen was attacked in the early years, Liuyue Villa received assistance from certain individuals, helping them overcome several difficulties. Because this favor could not be repaid with ordinary gifts, Madam Sang gifted each of these individuals a specially crafted jade token, allowing them to command anyone from Liuyue Villa in the Central Plains. Few possess this jade token, and currently only two individuals in Liuyue City possess it: Xiao Tianhua and Eryi.
After accepting the jade token and saying goodbye to Madam Sang, Eryi led several hosts who were still unconscious and took the Liuyue Villa carriage back to the clinic.
The three black poisons only provided Eryi with a total of 4,000 energy points, which shows that they are not high-level poisonous insects.
The three had likely been infected only recently, and after absorbing the parasites within their bodies, they experienced no adverse reactions. Upon waking, they were dazed and had no recollection of the events surrounding the infestation. Seeing that they were not seriously injured, Eryi allowed them to return home.
…
The next day, Sang Xuezhen sent his disciples to the clinic to find Eryi, hoping to buy Eryi's incense recipe.
"Let Master Sang come here in person. I have something to discuss with him." Er Yi refused.
Two hours later, Sang Xuezhen arrived slowly in a carriage. His Spring Breeze Technique and Detoxification Technique had long since lost their effectiveness, so he naturally couldn't freely activate his internal energy to perform Qinggong.
As soon as Sang Xuezhen entered the room, his entourage again asked to buy the incense recipe.
The three large boxes of gold from yesterday were still in the hall, untouched. "Give the gold to the miracle doctor as consultation fees," the attendant replied.
However, Eryi refused Sang Xuezhen's request for spices. She wanted to collect the medical fee, but she wanted to keep all the boxes of gold.
"Master Sang, from today on, if you have nothing else to do, you can come to my clinic every day to regulate your breathing."
"Why?" Sang Xuezhen asked.
"Come with me." Er Yi led Sang Xuezhen into a single room set aside for him. The room was simply furnished, with a basic treatment bed to reduce fatigue. Next to it was a small table that he had bought for a few dozen coins in the martial arts world.
Those who needed to use the Spring Breeze Technique included not only those possessed by the martial arts realm but also those with special abilities from the Doomsday realm. Master Sang lived in the same realm and city as her, and with his exceptionally high Qinggong skills, he could have made the journey in less than a cup of tea.
But the situation was different for those in the Doomsday Plane. To reach the central safe zone, those from other bases had to cross a vast expanse of land infested with alien plants, zombies, and mutated animals. A round trip could take three to five days, but longer distances, and if any unexpected incidents occurred along the way, could take up to a month, potentially resulting in casualties. Naturally, the storage devices were reserved for them first.
The day before, on her way back to the clinic from Liuyue Villa, Eryi had come up with a new idea: she bought a new incense burner from a shop in Liuyue City, found some random incense powder, and pretended it was medicine powder.
Light the incense before casting a spell, then cast the spell directly, claiming that all the effects are due to the incense recipe. This way, you don't need to save the skill in the memory before using it, reducing the loss of skill effects.
"Master Sang, please regulate your breathing here. When the incense formula takes effect, remember to take this opportunity to align your internal energy." A martial artist closing their eyes to regulate their breathing is equivalent to Er Yi's meditative state. Regulating their breathing on the treatment bed can simultaneously regulate their internal energy and reduce fatigue, killing two birds with one stone.
Eryi placed the lit incense burner on a small table nearby, and while Sang Xuezhen was regulating his breathing, he quietly released the detoxification technique and the Spring Breeze Technique on him.
"Let the people brought by Master Sang go back first."
…
From that day on, Sang Xuezhen reported to the clinic early in the morning and left at dusk. Able to freely mobilize his internal energy and perform Qinggong, he no longer brought any followers and did not ask Eryi why he came every day.
Apart from the fact that the incense used in the clinic seems to be more pungent than before, there are no other disadvantages.
A few days later, Xiao Tianhua also came to report with him.
"I heard that Divine Doctor Er also has a unique method for regulating internal energy?" Although the parasite in Xiao Tianhua's body had been removed by Er Yi, the meridian disruption it had caused would take some time to fully resolve. It was uncertain how long the martial arts world would remain peaceful. Upon learning of a method to quickly regulate internal energy, Xiao Tianhua immediately followed Sang Xuezhen to report.
This involves the formal fee. Using the Spring Breeze Technique once costs one hundred and ten taels of silver, or ten taels of gold.
Although Xiao Tianhua doesn't seem to spend much money on weekdays, as the leader of the martial arts world, he is rich but not obvious. He casually took out a thousand taels of silver.
"Dr. Eryi has dedicated himself to the Gu worm treatment. He even removed the worm that had plagued me for years without charging a cent. Don't worry, just tell me how much it costs." After spending some time in Liuyue City, he finally came to believe that Eryi was a money-loving person. Earlier, when Eryi had removed the Gu worm for him without charging a cent, he had mistakenly believed that Eryi treated money like dirt.
…
The Punishment Hall used the Jinguang Pavilion's True Face Fluid to remove the disguise on Xi Yi's face. His original appearance was similar to Lin Jinzhi, with only minor modifications. Since then, he has been subjected to various torture methods for three days and has remained silent.
Eryi kept a close eye on the progress daily, as this involved a significant amount of energy. She pondered for a long time, remembering the name she'd seen in Xiyi's profile that day. Unsure if it would be a clue, she made up a random excuse and shared Xiyi's name with the people at the Punishment Hall.
The Punishment Hall wasn't sure if the source of this information was reliable, but the man was incredibly stubborn, and physical torture alone wasn't enough to pry him open. With no other options, they chose this name to set up a trap.
People like Xi Yi, even within the organization, don't exchange their names, only code names. If they could really get their name, the Punishment Hall would have a hundred ways to get information out of such people.
It took only half a day to get the real name and get all the information out of this person.
This person is not from the South.
He is from the northern Sand Country.
It was precisely because he wasn't from the South that he didn't know someone in Liuyue City had already removed the Gu worm from Xiao Tianhua's body. Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so rashly. The Gu worm was merely something the Sand Country had exchanged for from the South Country, but what the exchange was for was unknown.
After learning the news, Sang Xuezhen and Xiao Tianhua drank together in the backyard of Liuyue Villa all night.
The next day, the two went to visit the Third Prince's residence.
