d yuan bills, saying: "It seems you're not doing well either. Take this money for now."An Yimo pushed the money back, saying firmly: "No, I can't take your money. You've already helped me so much toda...Ye Bufan stared at the golden beetle before him, his heart rippling with shock and awe.

If the worm had just given him a faint sense of threat, now that feeling has become extremely intense, even making him want to turn and run.

I don't understand, how can such a small thing bring me so much pressure

Long Xiaoyue excitedly said: "Little brother, thank you for your help, my natal Gu worm has finally advanced."

Ye Bufan said: "Can I take a look to see how powerful it really is"

Long Xiaoyue held the seven-colored Gu worm and said, "Little darling, little brother wants to see your skills. Show him a performance."

The seven-colored worm as if understood her words, its two wings gently fluttered once, and instantly vanished from her palm.

This speed is too fast, it's unbelievably fast. The human eye can't see how it flies at all, it's like it disappears halfway in an instant.

Disappearance lasted only a second or two, then it reappeared.

Although the time was short, Ye Bufan was frightened to his core. As someone with a divine consciousness, he had just seen it clearly.

This seven-colored centipede instantly pierced through a large tree at the entrance to the cave, its thick trunk proving useless as a barrier.

Such overwhelming speed and penetrating power, it's likely that even a Tier Earth Warrior's protective Qi couldn't withstand it. No wonder it gave me such intense pressure.

Ye Bufan suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, "How would this natal Gu worm of yours fare against a Heaven Stage martial artist"

Long Xiaoyue said, "I don't know about that. I've never seen a Heaven Rank warrior before, and my insect just advanced recently."

Ye Bufan said, "If I give it the other fruit as well, will it be able to advance further"

Long Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "It's useless, a single fruit can only work once. Eating it again is pointless."

"Oh!" Ye Bufan was slightly disappointed.

He desperately wanted to make this insect powerful, ideally strong enough to threaten Shangguan Xiong of the Shangguan family and force him to hand over the antidote for Sleeping Beauty.

"By the way, this is Yinling Pill refined from Xuan Yin Zhu Guo. See if it's useful to you."

After finishing his words, he directly took out a pill and presented it to the seven-colored silkworm.

The gu worm gently touched the pill twice, as if smelling it, then shook its head and turned away, clearly showing no interest in the pill.

Long Xiaoyue said: "Little brother, the gu worms are only interested in natural things. They won't eat pills."

Ye Bufan regrettably shook his head, holding the dan...

Ya gave the pill to Long Xiayue and said, "Here's a pill for you. It can help you break through the bottleneck of the Earth Rank and improve your cultivation."

Long Xiaoyue said a little embarrassedly: "Little brother, but I just took a Xuan Yin Zhu Guo from you."

"It's okay, as long as you do one thing for me."

Long Xiaoyue said earnestly, “Little brother, you saved my life and helped me so much. If you want me to do something, just say it directly. You don't need to exchange it with pills.”

"Here, take it." Ye Bufan said, "The thing I need you to do is very difficult and requires a very high level of cultivation."

"Oh! Well, thank you little brother."

Long Xiaoyue finished speaking, then took the Yinling Pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

Feeling her trust in him, Ye Bufan jokingly said: "You trust me so much, aren't you afraid I'll give you poisoned food"

"Of course I'm not afraid, Young Master is a good person, he definitely won't hurt me."

Ye Bufan smiled and said, "How do you know I'm a good person"

Long Xiaoyue said: “I can tell if someone is good or bad at a glance.”

"Besides, Xiaoge has no reason to harm me. Otherwise, he wouldn't have saved me, and there wouldn't be all this trouble."

Ye Bufan said: "Alright, hurry up and cultivate. I'll protect you."

Long Xiaoyue nodded, crossed her legs on the ground, and began to circulate her true qi to absorb the Yin Spirit Pill.

After about 20 minutes, a surge of energy suddenly emanated from Long Xiaoyue's body, breaking through the bottleneck of the Earth Rank in an instant.

Even after the breakthrough, the Yin Spirit Pill's effects still lingered, and true qi surged upwards once more.

After breaking through the initial and middle stages of the Earth Rank, Long Xiaoyue's true qi finally stabilized after two more breakthroughs.

Ye Bufan wasn't too surprised by the result. He had seen during the diagnosis that this woman had a yin attribute physique, capable of maximizing the effects of Yin Spirit Pill.

She tightened her grip again. Long Xiaoyue opened a pair of glistening eyes and exclaimed excitedly, “Little brother, your pills are truly amazing! I've actually improved so much.”

Ye Bufan said, "It's nothing, it's because of your good aptitude."

Long Xiaoyue said, "Little brother, what do you want me to help you with"

Ye Bufan said, "You just said you also studied medicine, right"

"Yes, I've studied Miao medicine."

"Have you ever heard of Sleeping Beauty, one of the top ten deadliest poisons"

Long Xiaoyue said: "I read it in an ancient book..."

(To be continued, please turn the page)

"Watched."

Ye Bufan asked, "Do you know how to wake the Sleeping Beauty"

Though he had seen records of Sleeping Beauty in the ancient medical school's teachings, they were very simple and lacked much detail. He hoped there would be other detoxification methods available.

Long Xiaoyue shook her head. "In the ancient book I read, it said that besides the person who administered the poison, there is no antidote for this poison, which is why it is ranked as one of the top ten deadliest poisons."

Ye Bufan felt a little disappointed in his heart and asked again, "Do you know where I can find the soul-awakening grass"

"Spirit-awakening Herb I've never heard of such a medicinal herb." Long Xiaoyue asked, "Little brother, has someone around you been struck by the Sleeping Beauty curse"

Ye Bufan said, "My girlfriend was poisoned with this. This trip to Xiangxi Miao Village is to find the antidote."

Long Xiaoyue said angrily, “It's too despicable. Who did this”

"It's not quite certain yet, but the preliminary guess is that it's probably the Shangguan family."

Ye Bufan said, "You are familiar with Xiangxi. Can you tell me about the prominent families in Xiangxi"

Of course.

Long Xiaoyue said: "In Xiangxi, the most prominent families are the Shangguan family, the Zhu Yu family, and the Gu Wang."

Zhu Youjia's reputation is the best, often treating villagers nearby.

Their resurrection techniques are the most magical, often able to bring people back from the dead. However, this kind of magic can only be performed by members of the Zhu Yu family and is never taught to outsiders.

Ye Bufan nodded. He had heard of the Art of Controlling the Elements, but as Long Xiaoyue said, this technique was never passed down publicly. There wasn't much recorded about it in the ancient medical school's lineage either.

Long Xiaoyue continued, "The Gu King is the most revered being in Xiangxi. Whether he's good or evil is debatable; he only upholds the interests of the Miao villages in Xiangxi."

Here, many people have received the grace of the Gumi King, yet no one has ever seen his appearance.

"Why is that Doesn't the Gu King ever see people" Ye Bufan asked curiously.

“No, the Gu King often comes out to heal the villagers. He always wears a mask though, so no one has ever seen his true face.”

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded slightly.

Long Xiaoyue continued, "The last one is the Shangguan family. They are arrogant and domineering on a daily basis, but they have profound attainments in necromancy and sorcery, so no one dares to provoke them."

Moreover, the people of the Shangguan family are narrow-minded and vindictive. They will never forgive anyone who offends them.

Fortunately, with the Gu King and Zhu Youjia suppressing them in Xiangxi, they have somewhat restrained themselves.
