When this was mentioned, Qu Feiyan suddenly realized, "Oh right! Didn't the young master poison Zhu Wushi before, saying that once Zhu Wushi entered the early stage of the Celestial Realm, his internal energy would start to dissipate on the third day, until he fell back to the Great Grandmaster Realm Perfection?"
"Unless he re-enters the early stage of the Celestial Realm, Zhu Wushi will still have to obediently serve as the leader of the Azure Dragon Society and dare not rebel against it."
At this moment, Lin Shiyin spoke up: "Although you used poison to make Zhu Wushi's cultivation level regress to the peak of the Grandmaster realm, Zhu Wushi is cultivating the 'Absorption Technique' after all. In addition, there is the Number One Manor in the world. Could it be that he has used the 'Absorption Technique' to re-enter the Celestial Realm during this period?"
Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "The poison I gave him was rather special. It was targeted at his upper dantian. Moreover, the upper dantian is mysterious. Once the medicinal properties sink into the upper dantian, they will take root and completely weld the hidden meridian connecting the upper dantian to the sea of qi. It will take a year for these medicinal effects to dissipate."
"During this process, even if Zhu Wushi were to use the 'Absorption Technique' to absorb ten Celestial Realm martial artists, he would not be able to enter the Celestial Realm. Instead, he would only end up suffocating himself."
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan suddenly clicked her tongue twice and said, "For no reason at all, he has fallen from the early stage of the Celestial Realm back to the peak of the Grandmaster Realm, and he won't be able to break through in the next year. If I were Zhu Wushi, I would probably be furious."
Chu Qinghe remained calm in the face of Qu Feiyan's words.
Although trouble often comes knocking on your door unexpectedly.
But more often than not, some troubles are self-inflicted.
If Zhu Wushi hadn't wanted to use Chu Qinghe, Chu Qinghe wouldn't have bothered getting involved in the affairs between him and the Azure Dragon Society.
"Misfortune and fortune have no fixed gate; they are summoned by oneself!"
Beijing
Hulong Mountain Villa.
Inside that secret chamber, which was made of refined iron on all four sides.
Zhu Wushi sat cross-legged in the secret room, with strands of true energy slowly swirling around his body as if they were tangible.
However, at this moment, in this secret room, apart from Zhu Wushi, there are nearly a dozen corpses on the floor.
In the corner, two mid-stage Innate Realm cultivators, whose pressure points had been acupunctured and whose hands and feet were bound by special shackles, stood stiffly against the wall.
The two of them would sometimes look at the lifeless corpses on the ground, and sometimes at Zhu Wushi sitting cross-legged on the ground beside them, their eyes almost overflowing with terror.
"puff"
However, at this moment, Zhu Wushi, who had been circulating true qi continuously with his eyes closed, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The true qi in his body also receded rapidly like a receding tide, shrinking back into his lower and middle dantian.
Feeling the true energy within his body surging to the point that it felt like it was about to burst his meridians, Zhu Wushi's eyes turned red as he roared incessantly.
The Iron-Blooded Marquis, who used to be calm and composed and whose expression remained unchanged even when Mount Tai collapsed before him, now seemed to have been possessed and was acting like a madman.
He blurted out unconsciously, "No, why is it still not working?"
After saying that, Zhu Wushi suddenly raised his head and looked at the two remaining martial artists in the room.
When they saw Zhu Wushi's fierce eyes looking in their direction, both of these mid-stage Innate Realm martial artists widened their eyes, and a chill instantly rose from the bottom of their hearts.
As Zhu Wushi raised both hands, his five fingers forming claws, two powerful suction forces instantly burst forth from Zhu Wushi's hands and quickly slid the two mid-stage Innate Realm martial artists toward Zhu Wushi.
The next second, as the two were pulled in front of Zhu Wushi, Zhu Wushi quickly slammed his hands down on their heads.
In an instant, the two martial artists at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm felt their power being devoured as if mercury were leaking out.
After absorbing all the power of the two Innate Realm martial artists, Zhu Wushi exerted a little force, and two bursts of energy from his palms directly pierced through the tops of their heads.
In contrast, Zhu Wushi, after absorbing the power of the two Innate Realm martial artists into his body, closed his eyes and once again focused on circulating the true energy within his body.
"puff!"
However, half an hour later, Zhu Wushi spat out another mouthful of blood.
However, this time, after spitting out a mouthful of blood, Zhu Wushi's face turned red at a visible speed.
Furthermore, his lower dantian, middle dantian, and even the meridians throughout Zhu Wushi's body all felt a distinct swelling and tearing sensation.
Under such intense pain, he couldn't help but show a pained expression on his face.
Only after Zhu Wushi actively released some of the true energy from his dantian and body did his pained expression subside.
After the pain in his body subsided, Zhu Wushi, whose expression had calmed down, had a terribly gloomy face.
"I have absorbed the Qi of seventy-three Innate Realm martial artists during this period, and my body has more true Qi, so why can't the hidden meridian in my upper dantian be opened? Why? What is wrong with this 'Absorption Technique'?"
More than half a month ago, while Zhu Wushi was handling government affairs, he suddenly discovered that the true essence in his body was slowly being lost.
Moreover, what was lost was not ordinary true essence, but rather one's natal true essence.
In the time that followed, no matter how Zhu Wushi tried to stop it, he still could not prevent the true essence from slowly leaking away.
Even after consulting a familiar and highly skilled doctor, no one could detect anything wrong with his body.
In just three days, Zhu Wushi watched his power gradually diminish and eventually fall back to the peak of the Grandmaster realm.
