I named the little princess Aya, took her with me, and taught her the art of Gu poison.
After saying everything, Fu Linglong fell silent.
Ye Xunzhi looked at her with heartache, opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed it back.
"Senior Fu, did Gao Hongyuan contact you again afterward?" Su Ruojin thought of this question.
Given Gao Hongyuan's character, he wouldn't be at ease until he saw Fu Linglong die with his own eyes, since Fu Linglong was the only person in the world who knew that he was raising a demon Gu King.
If this matter were to spread, all the righteous people of the Nine Provinces would surely want to eliminate him, and how could Gao Hongyuan possibly live in peace?
"I don't know exactly how Gao Hongyuan became the Grand Preceptor of Xiaoyue, but after he became the Grand Preceptor, he did search for me everywhere and even sent people to Cangming Mountain many times."
Unfortunately, he was too impatient back then. If I had waited two more years to reveal his true colors, I would have taught him the formation, and he would have been able to find me easily.
With this formation in place, Gao Hongyuan's men have been unable to find me, and I have been researching ways to break the Demon Gu King all these years, without ever leaving the mountain.
At this point, Fu Linglong sighed again, "That's all I know."
"Senior Fu, I have a question for you. According to you, Gao Hongyuan needs to keep the Demon Gu King in his heart and nourish it with his heart's blood. Will this have any effect on him?" Xiao Yanchu, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked.
"It will definitely have an impact. Nourishing the Gu worm with heart blood will make the host very weak, requiring different methods to nourish the body."
Depending on the type of Gu worm, each Gu master has a different method of nourishing themselves. Some Gu worms don't require much heart blood, so the Gu master only needs to supplement their nutrition by eating more chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and increasing their food intake.
Some require daily supplements, especially blood-nourishing herbs. Others engage in yin-yang replenishment to provide nutrients for the parasites within their bodies.
"You want to ask Gao Hongyuan how he nourishes the Demon King by keeping it in his heart, right?" Fu Linglong guessed Xiao Yanchu's intention.
“Yes, senior, we have met Gao Hongyuan a few times, but he looks rosy-cheeked and no different from an ordinary person,” Xiao Yanchu replied.
Actually, he simply wanted to know Gao Hongyuan's methods of nourishing the body, so that he could use this as a starting point when he had to face him in the future.
Unexpectedly, Fu Linglong shook her head, "I don't know either. The Demon Gu King is very special. I know that there are only two people in the world who can cultivate it, including Gao Hongyuan. It must require a lot of blood and sweat. Only Gao Hongyuan knows how he keeps his body unaffected."
Gao Hongyuan is the Imperial Advisor, and with the Xiaoyue Imperial Palace as his backing, he has everything he could want, not only nutritious food but also tonics and beautiful women. Perhaps this is why he maintains such good health.
Su Ruojin grasped the key point in Fu Linglong's words, "Senior Fu, have you figured out a way to break the Demon Gu King?"
"No, the Demon Gu King is too special, and I haven't been able to find a way to defeat it yet. But based on the characteristics of the Demon Gu King recorded in ancient books, I have developed a potion."
If the Demon King of Gu were to place the Gu seed on someone and have that person drink this medicine, it should be able to suppress the onset of the Gu poison, changing it from half a cup of tea to an hour.
If the venomous worm inside this person is killed within this time frame, or if the person afflicted by the venomous worm is killed, the harm caused by the Demon Gu King can be alleviated.
I have only tested this potion on Gu worms that are similar in behavior to the Demon Gu King but much less potent, and I am not sure if it will be effective on the Demon Gu King.
"The best way is still to prevent Gao Hongyuan from raising a demonic Gu king," Fu Linglong said.
