"snort."

Qin Yi stared at Li Zhiming and laughed.

This smile made Li Zhiming feel creepy.

"Elder Qin, please stop staring at me and smiling."

"What on earth did that witch do to my body?"

Qin Yi stood up, walked to the bookshelf in the stone chamber, and began to look for books. "That witch has cast a spell on you."

"again……?"

Li Zhiming stopped his subconscious words in time.

"What again?"

"Unlucky again... again."

Li Zhiming let out a long sigh.

In fact, he wanted to say that he was poisoned again. Last time, it was that bitch Tian Yaoyao who poisoned him.

But he managed it by resetting the system's status.

But now he doesn’t have a status reset function, so the function can only be used once, and his cultivation will disappear after using it.

He had just recovered his strength not long ago and didn't want to be left with nothing again, so he had to start practicing all over again.

"Elder Qin, why can't I detect where this poisonous insect is in my body?" Li Zhiming asked.

"This Gu technique is called Tongxin Gu, and it is not an ordinary Gu technique. It is an ancient method. There are only two forces in the entire Dongxuan Region that know this Gu technique. One is the Gu Clan in the primitive forest in the southern part of Dongxuan Region, and the other is the Hehuan Sect in Longji Mountain."

"The Hehuan Sect was founded more than 8,000 years ago. According to legend, one of its founders came from the primeval forest in the south. Even if he was not a member of the Gu Clan, he probably had a close connection with the Gu Clan."

"The Hehuan Sect has a relatively pure method of practicing Gu arts. The fact that Ji Ling'er can learn Tongxin Gu shows that she has inherited the Gu arts of the sect."

"You know, in the entire Hehuan Sect, which has been established for more than 8,000 years, only three people have passed the trial and inherited the Gu technique. Ji Ling'er has become the fourth one."

After Qin Yi finished speaking, he took out a book from the bookshelf and threw it to Li Zhiming.

Li Zhiming took the book and opened it. It said "Compendium of Gu Techniques".

"Elder Qin, is there any method to cure the poison here?"

"How could the Gu Clan's unique skills be spread around the world at will? Take this book and read it. Although it does not contain any method to remove the Gu, it does give a general introduction to various Gu techniques and their effects. After understanding them, you can be prepared."

Qin Yi returned to the table and sat down.

Li Zhiming has no time to read now. He just wants to remove the time bomb in his body as soon as possible.

"Elder Qin, what exactly is this Tongxin Gu? Is there any way to solve it?" Li Zhiming put the book away.

"To untie the bell, you must find the person who tied it. If you want to untie this Tongxin Gu, you must find the person who put the Gu in your heart. No one can untie it except her." Qin Yi said with a smile.

"Elder Qin, why are you still laughing? I am so anxious."

Li Zhiming saw Qin Yi smiling and was confused for a moment.

Elder Qin was not worried at all even though he himself was entangled by Ji Linger's strange witchcraft. He was also laughing so happily. It was really outrageous.

"Hahaha."

"I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing at Ji Ling'er. She's really crazy. She actually used the Heart-to-Heart Gu on you. What kind of magic power do you have?" Qin Yi looked at Li Zhiming with interest.

"Elder Qin, please stop keeping us in suspense. Tell us what exactly this Tongxin Gu does. How much time do you have?"

"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore."

"This Tongxin Gu is not really a poison. It just ties your life to that of the Hehuan Sect's demon woman." Qin Yi touched two fingers together and explained vividly.

"What's the meaning?"

"To put it simply, the demon girl from the Hehuan Sect has taken a fancy to you. This Tongxin Gu is usually a method practiced by dual cultivation Taoist couples, and it has many benefits for dual cultivation people."

"The twin Gu has the female eggs as the main part and the male eggs as the secondary part. The demon woman uses her own blood essence to nourish the female and male eggs. When she needs to use them, she injects the male eggs into your body. The male eggs grow slowly under the nourishment of your body. When they become adult insects, the twin Gu is complete."

"Your life is now linked to Ji Ling'er's. Her physical and emotional changes will be transmitted to you through the Gu worm. Of course, your physical and emotional changes will also be transmitted to her through the Gu worm."

"Does that mean that if I get hurt, she will know?" Li Zhiming asked.

"Yes, not only will she know, she will also experience your pain and be seriously affected!" Qin Yi nodded with a smile.

"Elder Qin, please don't misunderstand me. I have nothing to do with that witch. We just met for the first time. Who would have known that she would directly give me the same heart poison? There must be some unknown plan in this!"

Li Zhiming hurriedly explained.

"Don't worry, if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have said so much nonsense to you."

Qin Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Zhiming so embarrassed.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. What you used to block Zhuge Xun's sneak attack was some kind of dual cultivation martial arts, right?" Qin Yi's expression became serious.

"yes!"

Li Zhiming nodded and replied without hesitation.

Now that it has been discovered, there is no need to hide it. Being honest is the best way to deal with it.

"You don't have to worry. I'm different from those stubborn old guys in the inner sect. The fact that you can practice a powerful technique is your own ability."

"There is no distinction between good and evil in martial arts. It just depends on how the practitioner uses it."

"I will keep this matter a secret for you. Try not to perform it in Zhenyuan Sect, so as to avoid being discovered by those old stubborn people in the inner sect and causing trouble for you." Qin Yi said with a faint smile.

"Thank you, Elder Qin!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiming bowed in thanks.

"I guess Ji Ling'er's use of the Heart-to-Heart Gu on you might have something to do with the martial arts you used. I think your martial arts are very similar to the Double Evil Seal of the Hehuan Sect. Perhaps..."

"To be honest with you, Elder Qin, what I used was the Hehuan Sect's Earth-level martial arts, the Double Evil Seal, which I obtained from a Hehuan Sect disciple before." Li Zhiming replied.

"I see. However, that is a dual cultivation technique. Only a male and female Taoist couple with a rapport can perform the perfect Double Evil Seal. You can perform it by yourself. Such a talent for martial arts is truly amazing."

"It seems like Ji Ling'er cast the Heart Gu on you because of the Double Evil Seal," Qin Yi analyzed.

"Is it related to the Twin Evil Seals...then what exactly does Ji Ling'er want to do?" Li Zhiming couldn't figure it out.

"But you don't have to worry. This Tongxin Gu won't affect your cultivation. It's just that when the female insects are too far apart, they will become violently emotional."

"Then the poisonous insect will tear your flesh apart, forcing you to find the mother insect as soon as possible and reunite with her."

"Apart from this, Tongxin Gu has almost no disadvantages."

“If you practice dual cultivation with Ji Ling’er, you might be able to advance faster.” Elder Qin touched his chin and said softly.

"Elder Qin treats me like a second parent. How can I turn to the Hehuan Sect?" Li Zhiming hurriedly stated his attitude and position.

"Okay, you don't need to explain. I trust you."

"That witch cast the Heart-to-Heart Gu on you. It must have been a risky move. You must have something she wanted. But she couldn't do anything to you at that time, but she didn't want to let you go, so she simply cast the Heart-to-Heart Gu on you."

"When the poisonous insect hatches, at a certain time, if you don't look for her, you will have to endure the pain of being bitten by the poisonous insect. If you look for her and are within a certain range, she will be able to sense your location and capture you."

Qin Yi expressed his guess.

"I see."

Li Zhiming nodded and began to think about how to break the impasse.

Although the Tongxin Gu does not affect one's own cultivation.

But his life was tied to Ji Ling'er, and he felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly.

That crazy woman is extremely insane and does things without considering the consequences. If something happens to her someday, I will be the one to suffer as well.

“Eh…”

Qin Yi looked at Li Zhiming, frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"I can't quite fathom your current realm, kid. But you must be at least at the late seventh rank."

"You have recovered your cultivation in such a short time and have made some progress. Your talent is amazing."

"My disciple was able to recover his cultivation thanks to Elder Qin's support during this period of time."

"Without your support, I would not be able to recover my strength. I am lucky to be alive now."

Li Zhiming said respectfully.

He said this from the bottom of his heart. During this period of time, Elder Qin really helped him a lot, which made him very grateful.

Elder Qin couldn't see through his realm because of the Primordial Qi.

After the Taichu Heart Sutra reached the second stage, he was able to skillfully use the Taichu Qi to conceal his breath.

As long as he does not expose himself voluntarily, it is difficult for a first-grade warrior to see through his specific realm.

"Alright, alright. I don't have anything else to do. You can go back now."

"Disciple, I'm leaving."

Li Zhiming bowed and left the stone chamber.

He has become the captain of the patrol team and now lives on the third floor.

There are only two disciples who live on the third floor permanently, one is myself, and the other is Senior Sister Mingzhu.

The rest of the patrol disciples were all based in the living area above the Abyss, and only needed to come down and stay for a few days when it was their turn.

Although he is now valued by Elder Qin, he has been promoted to patrol captain.

But he was still labeled a traitor, and the Punishment Hall could not avoid punishing him.

He had no way of entering and leaving Xuyuan Prison freely like other patrol disciples.

After returning to his residence, Li Zhiming checked his body again.

The eggs of the Tongxin Gu still haven't been found.

According to the introduction in the "Compendium of Gu Techniques", the Tongxin Gu is one of the top-level Gu techniques with extremely mysterious properties.

Those top-level witchcraft techniques are ancient secret recipes and are rarely seen in today's era.

Even among the Gu tribe in the south, there are only a few people who can learn the ancient Gu technique, and they are all the most talented people in the tribe.

The possibility of getting these people to help me get rid of the poison is very slim.

"Forget it, I won't look for it anymore."

After searching for a long time without any results, Li Zhiming had to give up temporarily.

In this case, he must leave Xuyuan Prison as soon as possible and go to Longji Mountain to find the evil woman Ji Ling'er.

Of course, there is another way, which is to wait for the poisonous insect to come out and let it bite your flesh and blood.

Anyway, Ji Ling'er will suffer the same pain as herself.

When the time comes, we’ll see who can’t hold back first!
