Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 279 Yin Domain Gu Cultivation (22)

"Grandmother..."

Hearing Xiao Qingyue say that her grandmother was probably already dead, Jiu Ji completely collapsed, weakly looking at her grandmother who was frozen in place and shouted.

Chen An was afraid that Jiu Ji couldn't handle it, so he could only use a stronger Sleep Aid Technique on her, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.

"Let's take her to my room to sleep first."

Chen An said to Xiao Qingyue.

Xiao Qingyue didn't say much, directly using a teleportation array to send Jiu Ji over, and then teleported back alone.

"Husband, how should we handle this?"

Xiao Qingyue encountered such a difficult situation for the first time and didn't know what to do for a moment.

In the past, she mostly sat in the position of the sect master, overseeing everything, and had never experienced such a scene of separation and death of a loved one.

Chen An thought for a moment and said, "First, remove the gu worms on her face, then use ice spells to freeze her body and see if there is any way to revive her in the future."

"Okay, I understand."

Xiao Qingyue nodded and walked up to Jiu Huayu.

She condensed a small and sharp ice knife in her hand and carefully cut the lump on Jiu Huayu's face, removing the gu worm that was immobilized inside.

"Hmm?"

Seeing the gu worm in her hand, she was slightly stunned at first, and then revealed joy, "Husband, the gu worm parasitizing in grandmother's body doesn't seem to be a corpse gu!"

"Not a corpse gu?!"

Upon hearing this news, Chen An immediately became alert.

Xiao Qingyue held the gu worm and explained to him, "The body of a corpse gu looks like human skin, with many worm-like flesh strips growing on it."

"But the gu worm in my hand has an extremely hard body, with no flesh strips on it at all, completely different from the corpse gu I have seen before."

"Most importantly, this gu worm has very few teeth in its mouth, only a few scattered sharp teeth, which completely contradicts the characteristics of a corpse gu."

"Then what kind of gu worm is this?"

Chen An also looked at the gu worm in Xiao Qingyue's hand and asked her this question.

Xiao Qingyue shook her head and said, "I don't know either, this is the first time I've seen this type of gu worm."

After hearing this, Chen An no longer paid attention to the gu worm and immediately used his divine sense to perceive Jiu Huayu's physical condition.

The vitality of the physical body was weak, but there was still a trace of vitality.

As for the divine soul, it was healthy and undamaged.

This was a living being.

She hadn't died.

It was a false alarm.

Also, if Jiu Huayu had really died, as a Void Refining realm cultivator, he would not have been unable to sense it.

Jiu Ji influenced me and caused me to make a wrong judgment.

In the end, I am still too young, less than fifty years old, and most of my life has been spent on alchemy, lacking communication with others, making it difficult for me to calm down and think through problems.

Thinking of this, a smile spread across Chen An's face.

As long as Jiu Huayu is not dead, he was truly afraid that Jiu Ji wouldn't be able to handle the blow.

"Husband, how is grandmother?"

Xiao Qingyue's divine sense was not as strong as Chen An's, so she couldn't perceive the faint vitality in Jiu Huayu's body.

Chen An replied, "Grandmother is still alive."

Still alive? But why can't I sense any vitality in her body... Xiao Qingyue couldn't understand and asked again, "Husband, I still can't sense any vitality in grandmother's body."

"You can't sense it because almost all of the vitality in grandmother's body has been depleted, only a very weak trace remains."

Chen An explained.

After speaking, he took out a "Universal Pill" and stuffed it into Jiu Huayu's mouth, replenishing the vitality that had been lost from her body.

In just a moment, Jiu Huayu, who had originally looked lifeless, woke up. Her hollow and lifeless eyes slowly regained their former brilliance, and even the scars on her face healed completely.

"What happened to me?" Jiu Huayu looked at Chen An and Xiao Qingyue with confusion, not understanding what had happened.

Chen An took the gu worm from Xiao Qingyue's hand and placed it in front of Jiu Huayu, asking, "Grandmother, do you recognize this worm?"

Jiu Huayu glanced at the gu worm and asked in confusion, "This is the worm that the son-in-law of Hu Qiniang's family raises. Is there anything strange about this worm?"

"This worm is a gu worm?" Jiu Huayu couldn't believe it.

She calmed her emotions and asked, "Son-in-law, is this true? You're not joking with me, right?"

"Grandmother, I'm not joking. When you were still parasitized by this gu worm just now, you looked like a walking corpse, lifeless and devoid of any vitality," Chen An said.

After finishing his words, he continued, "Jiu Ji just found out that you were cursed and thought it was a corpse curse. She was completely devastated. Now she's in my room, forced into a sleep state by my spell, resting."

Jiu Huayu was not interested in her granddaughter Jiu Ji at the moment, but rather puzzled, "Why would the son-in-law of Hu Qiniang's family raise so many gu worms?"

"Perhaps he is from the Yin Domain," Chen An speculated.

"Yin Domain?" Jiu Huayu and he were equally ignorant.

Because she had lived her whole life in Fox Village as the village chief, she had never set foot outside of Fox Village.

The reason why her mother was able to give birth to Jiu Ji was because of her fox spirit nature and an accidental encounter with a male cultivator who happened to travel to Fox Village. They had a one-night stand, and she ended up getting pregnant.

She wanted the male cultivator to be her son-in-law, but he refused.

The male cultivator wanted to take her away, but she also refused.

"Grandmother, the Yin Domain is the most powerful force in this realm. There are many underworld cultivators who breed gu worms there," Xiao Qingyue explained.

After hearing this, Jiu Huayu frowned slightly, not caring about visiting Jiu Ji, and directly used a teleportation array to go to Hu Qiniang's house to find that son-in-law.

Chen An and Xiao Qingyue exchanged glances and also used the teleportation array to follow.

They arrived in front of Hu Qiniang's house in the village.

Jiu Huayu stepped forward and knocked on the door, saying, "Hu Qi, come out and open the door. I have urgent matters to discuss with you!"

There was silence inside the house.

No response at all.

Jiu Huayu furrowed her brows and turned to Chen An behind her, asking, "Son-in-law, can you sense what's happening inside the house?"

Chen An shook his head and said, "Grandmother, there might be an Innate Spiritual Treasure-level consciousness-blocking Law Weapon inside the house. My consciousness cannot extend inside."

Just then, the door of the house creaked open.
