Gu has a variety of uses. It can harm people, save lives, change luck, and seek wealth... The purpose of each Gu can be roughly judged based on its color. For example, the golden silkworm Gu used to seek wealth has a golden surface, as if it were made of gold; the lucky luck Gu used to change luck has a purple surface, symbolizing good fortune; the peach blossom Gu used to seek a mate is pink, and the more powerful love Gu is red... and the five-color Gu is the king of all Gu. Once the sorcerer drives it, it is omnipotent and has few nemesis. This kind of Gu is not easy to cultivate, and even the most powerful sorcerer can only obtain it by luck.
Cultivating a five-color Gu King in two months, it is obvious that Lin Dan is superior to others in both luck and strength.
The man moved closer to look at Lin Dan's gorgeous face, with inquiry, appreciation, and a hint of heat in his eyes. This little girl really surprised him; she broke his preconceived impression of her time and time again.
Lin Dan turned his head away to prevent the man from getting too close, then he grabbed the colorful scorpion and put it into his mouth.
Yu Yeying stared at her stupidly with her eyes wide open. After a few seconds, she pounced on her and shouted anxiously, "You can't eat it. You will be poisoned to death!"
The man also sighed and said, "You are willing to eat the Five-Colored Gu King. It's really a waste of nature's gift."
Lin Dan hugged Yu Yeying, patted her back gently, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I won't be poisoned to death. My body is very special. I can only feel full after eating these things."
Yu Yeying searched her up and down, and seeing that she was indeed fine, she lay down exhausted.
The two men rested in the cave for a while. Seeing that it was getting dark, they cut two wooden sticks to use as crutches and slowly walked down the mountain. The dense forest was filled with steam and thick fog, blocking their vision. Yu Yeying hurriedly reached out to grab Lin Dan's hand, but was horrified to find that the other person had disappeared!
"Little girl, the consequences of your karma have come to haunt you, be careful." The man suddenly chuckled in Lin Dan's ear, causing her to quickly tense up.
The man loved to laugh, and his laughter was extremely pleasant to the ears, often making Lin Dan feel his ears numb. But his smile now was filled with malice, as if he was expecting something.
Lin Dan looked around and saw only thick fog. Yu Yeying had disappeared at some point. The big trees were like ghostly shadows, emitting an ominous aura. Lin Dan threw away the stick and ran two quick steps, but he still couldn't see what was hidden on the other side of the thick fog. The quiet forest had turned into an abyss that swallowed her.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air behind her head. Although she dodged it in time, a few strands of her hair were cut off and fell to the ground. She turned around suddenly, but found that there was no one behind her, as if the previous fatal attack was just her illusion. She immediately took out a machete and held it across her body, ready to fight to the death.
"It's useless, hehe!" A gloomy voice came from behind her. She looked back quickly, but almost saw a ghost face that was very close to her. That was Shi Gui, who turned into a fierce ghost after his death. He came to seek revenge on her!
If an ordinary person encountered such a thing, he would probably have been scared to death, but Lin Dan didn't even blink and swung his sword fiercely. Shi Gui's figure turned into mist and dissipated, then condensed behind her. He waved his hand and released a gust of Yin energy, knocking Lin Dan over. She was like a puppet, swept by Shi Gui's negative energy, constantly bumping into tree trunks or rocks, and vomiting blood.
Ghosts are invisible beings, and physical attacks cannot harm them at all. No matter how sharp the machete in Lin Dan's hand was, or how strong his body was, he could not do anything to Shi Gui. But in just a few minutes, she was covered in wounds and was dying.
The man was suspended in the air, watching the scene with great interest, and seduced: "Little girl, lend me your body, and I will solve this problem for you."
Lin Dan gritted his teeth and said nothing. She hated the feeling of being suppressed at will, and hated her own powerlessness even more. But deep in her mind, there was a faint voice telling her that she could easily kill this evil spirit if she wanted to. And all she had to do was to borrow a little power from the Holy Gu.
She subconsciously activated the Holy Gu, and then she felt a stream of hot air bursting out from where the Holy Gu was, that is, her Dantian, flowing through her limbs and bones, quickly healing the scars all over her body. Her eyes were as black as ink, her skin was as pale as paper, but her lips were bright red, which looked a little creepy from a distance. Her nails began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, and slowly took on a faint green glow. The tips were thin and sharp, like steel blades.
She slowly got up and spat out a mouthful of blood. There was no trace of cowardice in her eyes, only ferocity. When Shi Gui released another wave of Yin energy, she did not dodge but went straight for it. She formed her five fingers into claws to wave away the Yin energy and fiercely inserted it into Shi Gui's forehead.
"It's useless, I'm a ghost and you're a human, you can't hurt me!" Shi Gui smiled proudly, but his eyes widened the next second.
Lin Dan pulled his hand out from between his eyebrows and took out a bead emitting gray light. Now, with the help of the power of the Holy Gu, she has transformed into a half-human, half-ghost form, and can naturally touch evil objects.
Shi Gui's body began to twist and then broke into pieces. The pain of his soul being torn apart made him scream with his head raised, almost going crazy.
Lin Dan watched him quietly until he completely disappeared between heaven and earth. Then she lowered her head to look at the bead in her palm, then stretched out her tongue and licked her bright red lips. The bead was emitting a strong fragrance, just like the pills she used to catch poisonous insects, which greatly aroused her appetite.
The man fell from the sky and chuckled, "This is a soul bead. Only powerful ghosts can condense it. Shi Gui may have devoured the souls of the eighteen resentful ghosts he killed. That's why he is so powerful."
Deep cultivation means abundant energy... Thinking of this, Lin Dan no longer hesitated, raised his hand and swallowed the soul bead. As soon as this thing entered the mouth, it turned into a cold liquid and fell into the stomach. Since Lin Dan used the power of the Holy Gu during the battle, the colorful scorpion had long been absorbed by the Holy Gu. Now he was starving, but the soul bead relieved the hunger in time. Its energy was even more than that of the Gu King, enough for Lin Dan to sustain for a while.
Having unexpectedly found a new food, Lin Dan's usually expressionless face broke into a faint smile.
The man looked at her with burning eyes and chuckled, "Is it delicious?"
Lin Dan did not ignore him as he did in the past. Instead, he looked straight at him and said, "You are also a fierce ghost, and your Taoism is deeper than Shi Gui, so you should also have a soul bead."
The man was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Yes, I also have a soul bead." He suddenly moved closer to Lin Dan, his nose touching hers, and his voice was low and hoarse: "You want to eat me?"
The man's handsome face was so close to her, but Lin Dan's breathing didn't even become disordered. She looked at him quietly for a moment, nodded and said, "One day I will eat you."
Her expression was serious and her eyes were cold, she was totally unaware of the ambiguity implied in her words. The man was amused by her. He stroked her smooth hair with both hands, then held the back of her head and said word by word: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
What he had thought before was indeed correct. If Lin Dan lived in the same era as him, he would definitely be his rival. Although she is still young, she has already sharpened her claws and is ready to kill.
"Little girl, I really like you more and more..." The man whispered in Lin Dan's ear like a lover, and then disappeared. At the same time, the thick fog quickly dissipated, revealing the original appearance of the dense forest. Yu Yeying was standing not far away, anxiously calling Lin Dan's name. There was fear in her voice, but no despair.
She hit the surrounding trees hard with a stick, trying to find Lin Dan as soon as possible. Her well-behaved little face was filled with hostility. Lin Dan had no doubt that if she met a stranger at this moment, she would pounce on him without hesitation and tear him to pieces. Once a person who is extremely repressed goes crazy, he can be extremely cruel and brutal.
"Ye Ying, I'm here." Lin Dan shouted, and the manic Yu Ye Ying immediately calmed down and slowly turned around.
"Lin Dan, are you okay?" She ran to Lin Dan in small steps, her eyes red, like a harmless little rabbit, and the hostility on her face had long been replaced by worry and concern.
"I'm fine, I just ran into a ghost wall." Lin Dan squatted down and said calmly: "Come on, I'll carry you, so we can walk faster and we don't have to worry about getting separated."
After hearing this, Yu Yeying immediately climbed onto her back, with the corners of her mouth raised high, looking very happy.
…………
While Lin Dan was catching insects and making poisonous insects, he was also helping his two burdens treat their illnesses. Two months had passed in the blink of an eye. Zhou Nan's broken leg has healed, and Yu Yeying's hidden illness has also healed. Coincidentally, they are both from Haicheng, so they can go back together.
Lin Dan originally planned to send the two away and concentrate on refining Gu, but the insect-attracting powder she invented was too effective and had attracted poisonous insects from a hundred miles around. If she didn't leave, there would be no more insects here, and it would become a barren land in a few years. On the contrary, the world outside the mountains is vaster, which can not only broaden her horizons but also update her diet. Why not go out and take a look?
Thinking of this, Lin Dan decided to go with Zhou Nan and Yu Yeying, first go to Haicheng to see the world, and then find a dense forest to catch insects.
Yu Yeying pulled her clothes and said, "Lin Dan, actually poisonous insects are not only found in the forest, but also in the city. Those large garbage dumps can breed tens of thousands of poisonous insects, and they grow up eating chemical raw materials. Their toxicity is far greater than that of the poisonous insects in the forest. You will know if you go and take a look."
Lin Dan's eyes lit up, and his attitude became more resolute: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Yu Yeying immediately smiled and rubbed her arm.
Zhou Nan's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt speechless. Lin Dan is a straightforward person. He says whatever he wants and can see through things at a glance. Yu Yeying, however, grew up very fast. She went from being afraid of him and rejecting him to looking at him as if he were a dead object. If Lin Dan hadn't been there to calm him down, Zhou Nan had no doubt that Yu Yeying would have killed him with a knife.
Did Lin Dan know that while she was refining the Gu, the little girl beside her was gradually turning into a poisonous Gu?
