Chapter 371: Chapter 364: The Onset of the Poisonous Gu_1

Last time when Ah Niu eradicated the He Family, he obtained a very good cultivation technique called Dragon Elephant Art.

This technique is mainly used for combat.

Xiao Qing had already cultivated the Medicine King Sutra, while the techniques cultivated by Tang Cai Xian and Wang Wanyan should be quite ordinary. Switching to high-level techniques was also a good way out for them.

Because their current cultivation levels were still quite shallow.

“Does my husband have any techniques suitable for women to cultivate?”

Wang Wanyan asked with interest as soon as she heard this.

Though her family background was not bad, the techniques she could afford to buy were basically ordinary ones costing around a dozen silver money per copy.

A little better than what one would find at a street stall.

One could ensure that they were buying the genuine technique, and they were written by Acquired Realm experts who had achieved a small degree of success in their cultivation.

With a bit of luck, one might even be able to purchase a technique scroll written by an Innate Realm powerhouse.

To obtain anything better, one usually had to resort to incomplete scrolls, life-nurturing techniques, or flawed techniques with major defects.

For instance, the Everlasting Spring Technique that Qin Niu had bought was not only a life-nurturing technique, but also an incomplete scroll.

Techniques that cost thousands of silver money per scroll were virtually impossible to come by by sheer luck.

Not to mention the techniques worth thousands of silver money, even those valued at a hundred taels of silver money were hard to get by chance.

After all, every bookstore had its professional appraisers.

Smaller technique shops often had the owner doubling as the appraiser.

These owners often had experience working as appraisers in other technique shops before they set up their own business.

Just as many restaurant owners come from a chef background.

“What kind of techniques does Wan Yan prefer to cultivate? According to my understanding, except for a few special techniques, they generally are not gender-specific.”

Qin Niu looked up at his wife.

“Hmm… I want to cultivate a powerful technique, preferably one that can make me strong, protect my youth, and prevent my face from aging.”

She pondered seriously before answering.

“Cai Xian, what about you?”

Qin Niu looked at his concubine.

Marrying two such beautiful girls at the same time was undoubtedly the dream of every man.

As a new husband, Qin Niu was incredibly indulgent towards his wife and concubine.

He would try his best to satisfy whatever they needed.

“I wish to cultivate a technique that allows me to fight and become an Immortal Master. The lifespan of ordinary people is too short, and since Ah Niu dislikes partings, then I will strive to cultivate diligently, so that I can accompany you for as long as possible.”

Even after marrying into the family, Tang Caixian was still wholeheartedly devoted to Qin Niu.

She only wanted to be his wife forever.

“It seems that the techniques you two want are basically similar, both aiming to cultivate beyond the Spirit Qi Realm and for combat. After we finish eating, I’ll satisfy your wishes.”

Qin Niu decided to hand over the Dragon Elephant Skill for his wife and concubine to cultivate.

After dinner, he called his wife and concubine into the room and handed the Dragon Elephant Skill to Wang Wanyan.

“For the time being, you two can even contemplate this technique together at night. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask me anytime. Once you have entered the doorway of cultivation, I will find ways to help you quickly improve your cultivation and advance to the Innate Realm as soon as possible.”

Qin Niu spoke these words with great confidence.

With a vast fortune, the Ancient Banyan Tree as a tremendous treasure, and such an advanced technique as the Dragon Elephant Art, as long as their talent for cultivation wasn’t abysmal, it was certain they could advance to the Innate Realm within just a few short years.

By then, his family would become incredibly powerful.

“Oh right, on our wedding night, I only gave a piece of soft armor to Wan Yan but not a good weapon, which is like a tiger without teeth. This sword is for you; its quality is about the same as the one Cai Xian has.”

Qin Niu handed over the treasured sword he had obtained from killing Elder Mei to Wang Wanyan.

Now, her equipment was both offensive and defensive, and she was fully equipped.

Tang Caixian looked on from the side, filled with envy.

“Caixian, when the right opportunity comes next time, I’ll get you a set of armor or soft armor. You and Wan Yan are both my women, and I will definitely treat you both equally without favoritism.”

Qin Niu pulled Tang Caixian closer, comforting her.

“Ah Niu treats us so well! Marrying you must be the luckiest thing of my life.”

Tang Caixian rested her head on his shoulder.

The faint fragrance of her hair, mixed with the subtle scent of her body, assaulted Qin Niu’s nose.

It made Qin Niu’s heart race, and he felt his heartbeat quicken.

The more agitated his ‘heart-monkey’ became.

Just then, he felt as if a strange energy was gathering inside him, followed by waves of pain radiating from his abdomen and spreading throughout his body.

He was now an Innate Realm powerhouse, almost invulnerable to all diseases.

The dinner they had that night couldn’t possibly be the problem.

A sudden stomach ache likely meant that the Black Spider Gu that had burrowed into his body last time was acting up.

A chill settled in Qin Niu’s heart; he couldn’t let his wives find out about this.

They wouldn’t be able to help, and would only end up worrying.

“Alright, you two go practice the Dragon Elephant Art,” he said, pressing down the pain in his abdomen with a gentle tone.

“Then we’re off! Don’t overexert yourself, and remember to rest. I’ve noticed that you’ve been looking quite haggard these last few days,” Wang Wanyan observed attentively.

Qin Niu had been trying every possible means to find a way to rid himself of the Gu poison lately, bearing immense psychological stress, truly not resting well.

As he watched the two women leave, Qin Niu shut the door, opened the cover to the underground chamber, and went straight in.

Because he didn’t know what it would be like when the Black Spider Gu acted up.

If he screamed in agony by accident, his wives would easily hear it.

Elder Mei was a Spirit Qi Realm powerhouse, and even Elder Mei suffered unimaginably when the Gu poison flared up. Qin Niu, being at the Innate Realm, would only fare worse.

No sooner had he hidden in the underground chamber than he felt a gut-wrenching pain in his abdomen.

At the same time, his head began to tighten progressively with each pulse, hurting more intensely with each wave.

It was like the legendary Tightening Band Spell had been placed on him.

The Black Spider Gu inside his body seemed to be ‘chanting spells’.

“Ah…”

He clutched his head, writhing in pain on the ground.

The pain at that instant made his world go dark, and his breathing became difficult.

It was excruciating.

It felt as though countless blunt knives were ceaselessly cutting inside him, as if he were being quartered and slowly flayed alive.

“Damn creature, unleash all you’ve got. Don’t think I don’t know your weakness; if I stop providing you with food, you will eventually die bit by bit. I’ve always been someone who cannot be coerced; the more you try to use pain to force me to find better sustenance for you, the more I refuse to comply. If you don’t believe me, you can try. I’d rather be shattered jade than an intact tile… Ah!”

Qin Niu screamed again, rolling on the ground in agony.

The pain in his stomach was becoming intense.

It was no longer intermittent but a continuous, severe ache.

Sweat started to bead on his forehead, quickly forming a layer, drenching his hair.

The veins on his neck bulged, one by one.

The fear induced by the Gu poison was indeed extraordinary.

Far surpassing the endurance limits of an ordinary person.
