But now the master says that these people have soft skin, just like ordinary people.
Another problem is the mutation time, which is actually one incense stick's time.
According to records, it takes about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, or even less.
From a cup of tea to a stick of incense, the time difference is not small.
Su Ruojin fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Fu Linglong finished her porridge. She also heard the conversation between the two and said, "Xiao Jin, could it be that the records are wrong? Perhaps the person who was afflicted by the Demon Gu King's Gu should have been like this."
Hearing Fu Linglong's words, Su Ruojin raised her head and said thoughtfully, "Fifth Master, do you think it's possible that the records in the pavilion are correct, but that the problem lies with this Demon Gu King?"
Fu Linglong was taken aback and exchanged a glance with Ye Xunzhi. They had been focused on researching how to cure the Demon Gu King's poison and hadn't thought of this aspect.
"Fifth Master, you said that it would take Gao Hongyuan about two years to raise the Demon Gu King. Now that the time hasn't come yet, why has the Demon Gu King appeared in the world?"
Fu Linglong understood Xiao Jin's meaning, "You mean Gao Hongyuan used some method to make the Demon Gu King emerge ahead of schedule, so those who were poisoned by the Gu were not as powerful as recorded?"
“That’s exactly what I suspect. Fifth Master, I’ve read the records in the pavilion. It seems that this demonic Gu King develops sentience in its later stages of development. If that’s true, perhaps it’s telling Gao Hongyuan itself how to raise it ahead of time,” Su Ruojin said.
Fu Linglong's face showed an incredulous expression. The Gu worm had developed sentience?
How terrible that must be.
In the past, Su Ruojin would not have believed it either.
How could a tiny insect possibly have intelligence?
But she thought of Mao Mao, and the volcanic rock toads in Shenyu Mountain.
There are many wondrous things in this world, beyond her imagination.
Mao Mao has intelligence, and the volcanic rock toad seems to understand some things as well. So what's so strange about the Gu worm that almost destroyed the Nine Provinces on its own developing intelligence?
It doesn't need to develop any intelligence to communicate with the outside world; it only needs to be able to communicate with the person who raises the Gu.
Moreover, the Gu worms that can nurture a Demon Gu King are no ordinary insects.
In this way, everything can be explained.
"Fifth Master, let's not concern ourselves with how Gao Hongyuan raised the Demon Gu King ahead of time, but one thing is certain: compared to the records in the book, the Demon Gu King is like a premature baby, so the mutant's abilities have also been reduced."
This explains why there are differences between the records and reality.
Fu Linglong listened and nodded, "That makes sense. This is actually a good thing for us."
“That’s right. The mutation time is longer after being bitten, which is enough for us to operate a lot of things. Yanluo, bring the things here.” Su Ruojin turned to Yanluo and said.
Yanluo brought over a box, which, when opened, revealed the Lixin Fruit that Madam Wang had given to Su Ruojin.
Fu Linglong and Ye Xunzhi had been researching methods to remove the Gu for a long time, and they immediately recognized it as the Glass Heart Fruit.
Fu Linglong couldn't help but exclaim, "Xiao Jin, where did you get such a big Glass Heart Fruit? It must be hundreds of years old!"
Su Ruojin nodded. "If it were the size of an adult male's fist, it would probably be at least three hundred years old. This was a gift from the wife of the Minister of Works of the Great Chu. I remember that the Glass Heart Fruit was a key ingredient in Fifth Master's recipe, right?"
"Yes, these Crystal Heart Fruits are hard to find. The ones I used were from younger years, so their effects are much weaker."
"If we use this Glass Heart Fruit, how much do you think the medicine's efficacy will be enhanced?" Su Ruojin asked.
"Quick, quick, help me to try it out." Fu Linglong was eager to lift the covers and get out of bed to examine it.
She felt dizzy and might have fallen if Aya hadn't caught her.
Su Ruojin quickly comforted him, "Fifth Master, no rush. You've just been detoxified and your body is still weak. Let's rest for another day and start tomorrow. I also have some things to arrange first."
After leaving Master Wu's tent, Su Ruojin called Liu Jing over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Liu Jing clasped his hands in a fist salute, turned, and left, saying, "Yes!"
