Chapter 63: The Origin of the Heart Devouring Gu

When the Heart Devouring Gu was removed, the young man lying on the bed regained his breath. However, his complexion remained pale, lips dark blue, and his heartbeat was intermittent, indicating that the poison had not been completely eradicated.

Qin Feng exhaled deeply, “This insect is called the Heart Devouring Gu. Young Master Qian’s illness is all caused by this creature. Although I have removed it, ensuring Young Master Qian’s safety, to completely cure him, we still need thirteen medicinal herbs. Who will fetch them for me?”

Qin Feng listed the thirteen medicinal herbs, most of which were common, except for a couple that were relatively rare. The attending physicians quickly gathered the common herbs, while the rare ones were acquired by Qian Fugui, who had regained his senses, by paying a hefty sum from various pharmacies.

Following the instructions from the “Book of Strange Insects,” Qin Feng meticulously prepared a soup by boiling all the herbs in specific proportions and sequence. Strangely, although the soup was prepared by repeated heating, the moment the medicine was ready, it emitted an astonishing cold air, forming a layer of white frost on the edge of the bowl.

Two physicians carefully helped the young man up, and Qin Feng fed him the medicinal soup.

The effects were immediately apparent. In just a short moment, the dark blue color on the young man’s lips faded, and his face gradually regained some color.

At the same time, within Qin Feng’s Divine Sea, Literature Qi surged. In the blink of an eye, it filled one-tenth of the third level ladder!

Qin Feng remained composed on the surface, but he was secretly thrilled. At least he could confirm that the path of rapidly accumulating Literature Qi through medical practice was viable!

“The poison from Young Master Qian’s body has been removed, but complete recovery will require some time for recuperation,” Qin Feng calmly stated, suppressing his excitement. The attending physicians looked at him with admiration.

This mysterious and baffling illness, which had left everyone puzzled, was easily discerned by Young Master Qin. He had removed it using a special method, earning the respect of the physicians.

Qian Fugui bowed deeply, apologizing, “I misunderstood Young Master Qin earlier. I hope Young Master Qin can forgive me.”

Qin Feng waved his hand and asked, “Where did Young Master Qian go before? Did you encounter anything unusual? This kind of insect is extremely rare.”

He had scanned Qian Fugui’s body with his X-Ray eyes but did not find any traces of the Heart Devouring Gu. It seemed that the young master of the Qian family had accidentally come into contact with this strange creature.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

After pondering for a moment, Qian Fugui recounted his recent travels in detail.

He had accumulated his wealth by trading goods and frequently traveled for business. To familiarize his son with the family business, he had taken him along this time. They followed the usual routes for merchants, mainly along mountain paths and rivers for safety.

“According to the records in the book, once the Heart Devouring Gu enters the human body, it attaches itself to the heart, sucking the blood from the heart. Unless summoned by the mother insect, they won’t wake up. But this one...” Qin Feng frowned and muttered to himself.

Beside him, Lan Ningshuang, curious, asked, “Could there be a mother insect of the Heart Devouring Gu in Jinyang City?”

Qin Feng shook his head, “Heart Devouring Gu summoned by the mother insect wouldn’t be so aggressive. They would hide inside the human body, manipulating the host. It seems that this one is no different from an ordinary person.”

Doctor Song suddenly spoke, “Could it be that the Heart Devouring Gu was stimulated by something?”

Qin Feng nodded. He also thought so. But what could be the stimulus for the Heart Devouring Gu? Even in the book ‘Strange Insects,’ there was no relevant information about this.

Suddenly, Qin Feng had an idea. Young Master Qian fell into the Chuanyan River three days ago, and he didn’t show any abnormal signs on his way back until he went to Moonlit Pavilion!

In other words, something inside the Moonlit Pavilion stimulated the Heart Devouring Gu, forcing it to wake up and go crazy!

“Could it be the alcohol?”

The alcohol in Moonlit Pavilion was distilled uniquely, with extremely high alcohol content. Alcohol also has a sterilizing effect, so this possibility was quite high.

Qin Feng immediately took out a cup of The Drunken Immortal from his storage ring and poured it into the basin. However, the Heart Devouring Gu remained unaffected.

“It’s not alcohol.” Qin Feng pondered for a long time, then slapped his forehead. Young Master Qian was so young; how could he possibly drink alcohol? He must have been focused on eating hot pot.

“Wait a minute, hot pot!” Qin Feng seemed to have realized something. He took out a crimson fruit from his storage ring.

If there was something that set the Moonlit Pavilion apart from other places, it was the hot pot broth made from this crimson fruit!

Qin Feng swallowed nervously, carefully placing the crimson fruit into the basin. The previously unresponsive Heart Devouring Gu instantly became agitated!

It really is this thing!
