Longevity Gu Dao: Start From Refining Infatuation Gu

Chapter 105: Shadow Demon Sect Suffers Heavy Casualties, City-Wide Manhunt

"It's actually the Poisonous Blue Demon?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sui's pupils contracted. As a high-grade alchemist, he was well-versed in various spiritual medicines and poisons, so he naturally knew what this thing was.

The so-called Poisonous Blue Demon was a name given to it because it was a nameless poisonous plant that grew in a deserted and miasma-filled valley, nourished by the blood of a Seven-Step Snake. When the plant bloomed with blue flowers, it would be fed to the poisonous Seven-Step Snake. The two poisons would clash and counteract each other, causing the snake's body to turn blue. By cutting off the first two drops of blood from the snake's tail and using the subsequent three drops, the poison could be extracted with a blood-waiting needle and a silver needle, resulting in a blue poison with the aura of the Seven-Step Snake, hence the name Blue Demon.

The toxicity of the Blue Demon was fierce and not "gentle" like other poisons. When someone was poisoned, their whole body would be enveloped in a blue light. Once the blue color spread to the head, the poison would enter the brain, causing the person to die in an instant.

The reason Leng Yuxi was still alive was simply because she had many spiritual medicines to assist her, coupled with her Foundation Building cultivation forcibly suppressing the toxicity. Otherwise, she would have long died from the poison.

It was simply impossible for her to have survived until today.

"But how did you get poisoned?" Zhou Sui asked.

"It's just a despicable trick from the Shadow Demon Sect," Leng Yuxi clenched her fist.

She explained that on the day she attended the auction at the Xuanbao Tower in Misty Cloud City, she bought a Core Formation spiritual item and planned to return to the Immortal Mist Sect to prepare for Core Formation.

Who could have expected that it was all a trap?

The so-called Core Formation spiritual item was deliberately placed in the Xuanbao Tower auction by the Shadow Demon Sect, with the purpose of luring her out.

Then they ambushed her in Misty Cloud City.

At that time, she was eager to achieve Core Formation and didn't think much about it, resulting in her falling into the Shadow Demon Sect's scheme.

She was ambushed by five or six Foundation Building demonic cultivators.

The two sides fought fiercely outside the city.

Fortunately, she had treasures and many talismans to protect herself, so she managed to escape.

But even so, she was still poisoned by the Shadow Demon Sect's Poisonous Blue Demon.

In order to detoxify, she had no choice but to stay in Misty Cloud City.

Unfortunately, even after more than two years had passed, she still couldn't remove the toxins from her body.

Instead, as time went on, the toxicity became more intense.

If she couldn't find a solution soon, she would definitely die from the poison.

And because the poisoning was so deep, even if she returned to the Immortal Mist Sect, she might not be able to find a way to detoxify.

Even if she did find a way, due to the long duration of the poisoning, it might damage her foundation, and she would lose all hope of achieving Core Formation.

Perhaps it was because of this that the two Gold Core elders of the Immortal Mist Sect were unwilling to take the risk to save her.

After all, a Foundation Building cultivator without any value was not worth the Immortal Mist Sect taking such a big risk.

Even though Leng Yuxi used to be the saintess of the Immortal Mist Sect.

But once she fell from grace, she was no longer valued.

"That's the situation. Even if you really save me, with my current cultivation level, I might not be able to find a Foundation Building Pill for you," Leng Yuxi looked at Zhou Sui seriously.

She originally wanted to hide her situation.

After all, if she really spoke out, she would be abandoned for having no use.

But for some reason, she just didn't want to lie in front of this man.

"I see. That's easy. As long as we solve the severe poison in Senior Leng's body, it'll be fine," Zhou Sui rubbed his chin, indicating that he understood the general situation.

If that was the case, once he refined a detoxifying gu worm, he would be able to solve the problem on Leng Yuxi's body. By then, he would probably gain a Foundation Building powerhouse.

Regardless, it would be a profitable deal.

"Didn't you hear clearly what I was saying? I am infected with the highly toxic Blue Demon poison, which even the alchemists of the Immortal Mist Sect cannot cure. Even if I return to the Immortal Mist Sect, there is no hope for me."

"If you exert yourself, it will only be in vain."

Leng Yuxi couldn't help but speak.

"It's okay, the person I, Zhou Sui, want to save cannot be taken away even by the God of Death."

"Let me handle the poison on your body."

Zhou Sui looked at Leng Yuxi seriously.

"Hmph, suit yourself."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuxi's heart warmed instantly. Although he was a scumbag with three lovers, he still couldn't bear to give up on her despite knowing her situation. He should be a good person.

But she still had a bit of a tough mouth.

................

At this moment, in Misty Cloud City, the battle among Foundation Building cultivators finally came to an end.

The desperate struggle of the Patriarch of the Lu Family, Lu Hongran, had caused great damage to the Shadow Demon Sect.

Just the aftermath of the battle had killed dozens of Qi Refining stage disciples.

Even his final blow before dying had killed two early Foundation Building stage demonic cultivators and severely injured four Foundation Building stage demonic cultivators.

This resulted in heavy casualties for the Shadow Demon Sect, making the remaining Foundation Building cultivators furious.

"Damn old ghost Lu, do you think everything is over just because you're dead?"

"Stop dreaming. Convey my order to capture every descendant of the Lu Family. I want to exterminate the Lu Family for nine generations."

A Foundation Building elder of the Shadow Demon Sect became extremely angry, almost losing his temper.

Originally, they could have occupied Misty Cloud City without any losses and achieved a glorious victory.

But who could have expected that Lu Hongran would choose to die and take a few people down with him.

As a result, two out of the six Foundation Building cultivators died, and four were severely injured.

A great victory instantly turned into a narrow victory.

Although Lu Hongran was already dead, the descendants of the Lu Family were still alive, so they immediately became their targets for revenge.

Numerous cultivators from the Shadow Demon Sect immediately set out to search for the remaining descendants of the Lu Family.

Each of them swore to flay and dismember them, making them wish they were dead.

"Oh, what about that woman, the Immortal Mist Sect's Junior Sect Master Leng Yuxi? Have they found her?"

At this moment, a Foundation Building elder immediately asked.

After all, they had paid a huge price to break through Misty Cloud City, and their main goal was to capture Leng Yuxi alive.

If Leng Yuxi managed to escape, their plan would be completely ruined.

"Reporting to the elder, there are too many people in Misty Cloud City, and Leng Yuxi deliberately hid herself and hasn't shown up at all. We can't find her whereabouts right now."

A disciple of the Shadow Demon Sect immediately reported, feeling a cold sweat, afraid of being seen as incompetent and punished.

"Hiding? Misty Cloud City is not that big. Where else could she hide? She must be hiding somewhere in Misty Cloud City."

"You don't need to worry about that woman. Although she is a Foundation Building cultivator, she has been poisoned by our Shadow Demon Sect's highly toxic Blue Demon poison. She is as good as dead, with no strength left in her body. She may not even be comparable to a late Qi Refining stage cultivator."

"Search systematically. I want to see her before tonight."

The Foundation Building elder gave the order.

"Yes, elder."

Upon hearing this, numerous disciples of the Shadow Demon Sect began to act, completely surrounding Misty Cloud City and conducting a systematic search to find Leng Yuxi's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that Leng Yuxi had long been hiding hundreds of meters underground.

No matter how they searched, they couldn't find any trace of her.
