Chapter 132: Love Making Poison Gu
Chapter 132: Love Making Poison Gu
Yun Tian Chen and Lou Zhan Tian had different reactions after listening to the conversation between the two.
Lou Zhan Tian exuded a chillsecretly hunting down his granddaughter just for some pills, those people truly deserved to die.
Meanwhile Yun Tian Chens eyes revealed slight confusion, If its for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, then shouldnt they try to catch Lou girl? Why do they want to assassinate her instead?
The purple-clothed man looked at Lou Mu Yan meaningfully and smiled: What do you think, little girl?
If the enemy kingdom had a person who owned Marrow Cleansing Pills, and who could also refine the Energy Nourishing Pill, but was the granddaughter of a Great Marshal who cant be used for themselves, then what would you all do if it were you? Lou Mu Yan asked with a light smile.
Yun Tian Chen answered: Naturally kill.
Then he pondered for a while and said: So thats how it is. It seems that the mastermind behind that force is an enemy kingdom of Yanzhou Kingdom.
Paternal Uncle Emperor, have you ever felt tired recently during the day, but at night, youd be as vigorous as a dragon and as lively as a tiger. Lou Mu Yan looked at Yun Tian Chen with a smile that wasnt quite a smile.
Yun Tian Chen was taken aback and smiled somewhat awkwardly: There has indeed been such a situation in recent months. Could there be something wrong?
He had long suspected that something was wrong with his body, but the Empires Physicians and Alchemists had all checked him and there was no major problem.
Of course somethings wrong. Lou Mu Yan continued: Can I feel your pulse?
Sure! He didnt doubt Lou Mu Yans medical skills. He had never told outsiders about his symptoms, so since she could tell his symptoms, then she must have an extraordinary side.
Lou Mu Yan probed Yun Tian Chens pulse and furrowed her brows unconsciously, Theres a type of toxin hidden in your body, but it hasnt broken out yet, so other Physicians or Alchemists cant detect it. But if you wait for them to be able to detect it, then Paternal Uncle Emperor, your entire cultivation base would probably already be lost.
What kind of poison is it? Yun Tian Chen, as the monarch of an entire kingdom, indeed had a heart that was fearless against danger. Even if he was shocked inwardly, but he didnt display it.
A kind of love making poison1. Seeing the confusion in Yun Tian Chens face, she added: Paternal Uncle Emperor, when night arrives and you find that youre really energetic, is it when you go to Imperial Noble Consort Gus place?
Yun Tian Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and concealed the dark light in his eyes. He hadnt felt it before, but in retrospect, it was indeed true.
Every time he was full of energy and when the fire in his abdomen was burning like a stove, hed always inexplicably walk to Gu Yan Tings palace. As long as he made love for the night, the next day hed feel refreshed. This situation was as if he had no control over it.
The only person he loved was Lou Mo Zi, and yet he was extremely infatuated with Gu Yan Tings body. This was already incompatible with the calming method he cultivated. It seemed that there must be hidden circumstances.
You mean Gu Yan Ting poisoned me?
I once smelled the trigger for this sort of love-making poison on Imperial Noble Consort Gu, so just now when I saw that Paternal Uncle Emperor had abnormal bloodshot eyes, and there were blue eye circles, I guessed that you were affected with this kind of poison.
Lou Mu Yan retracted the hand on Yun Tian Chens wrist, After checking your pulse now, I can be certain that youve been poisoned by Love Making Poison.
Hearing Lou Mu Yans words, coldness couldnt help but rise in Lou Zhan Tian and the purple-clothed mans eyes. There were indeed many obscurities and much darkness in the palace, but Gu Yan Ting poisoning Yun Tian Chen with Love Making Poison stepped on their baseline.
It was undeniable that Yun Tian Chen was the present ages most righteous monarch, and at Middle-Phase Sword King cultivation base, he could live at least two or three hundred years.
After he was inaugurated, he exerted himself in prospering the country, ensuring the kingdom was rich and the people were strong, and Yanzhou Kingdoms territory had also expanded a lot. If there was no accident, hed rule and manage Yanzhou Kingdom for another hundred years. He was also the best candidate for a monarch.
But if the toxin in his body broke out and he lost his cultivation base, then hed most likely die after living for another hundred years. The period in which he was poisoned could also give other kingdoms an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
[CRACK!] The teacup in Yun Tian Chens hand was crushed by him and his face carried some fury.
Lou Mu Yan glanced at Yun Tian Chens teacup that was shattered into power, and the corners of her lips curled up as she continued: The loss of cultivation base is just a symptom of the early onset of the Love Making Poison. If the poison isnt cured, then in the later stages, as long as one adds in a type of insect gu2, those that are infected by the gu poison would slowly become a puppet and be controlled by the person who planted the gu.
When she turned into a normal human and studied medicine in the human word, she once entered a continent that prospered in the Art of the Gu and learnt the skills of poisoning with gu and curing gu. She just so happened to know about the Love Making Poison Gu that Yun Tian Chen was poisoned with.
You know so much about this Love Making Gu, then Lou girl, you must have a way to solve it? The purple-clothed man turned the Buddhist beads in his hand much faster.
Yun Tian Chen was his grandson. That girl from the Gu Clan dared to have such ideasshe truly deserved to die.
Indeed it can be cured. She was here to do business, and this was just a bait for the transaction.
Is it difficult to cure? Yun Tian Chen still had a smile on his face, but there was no temperature in his eyes.
Lou Mu Yan replied: The Love Making Poison hadnt yet broken out for the first time, so its easy to cure. If your cultivation base was lost in the future, and one planted a gu in you, then itd be difficult to cure.
In fact, Paternal Uncle Emperor can ask the Imperial Physician of the Empire to examine the centre of the sole of your feet. There must already be initial symptoms of poisoning there.
No need. Little girl, you can cure this poison, so Ill naturally seek you to cure it. Yun Tian Chen displayed trust on his face.
Lou Mu Yan smiled and said: Then Ill have to go back and prepare a few Spiritual Herbs and treat it for you in a few days.
She also added in her heart: And also give you time to investigate this kind of poison.
Alright. The cure will depend on Lou girl then. After curing it, Paternal Uncle Emperor will thank you greatly.
Yun Tian Chen was also anxious inwardly. If it truly was like what Lou Mu Yan said, then hed face the complete loss of his cultivation base and end up being under Gu Yan Tings control. He naturally wouldnt be reconciled.
Originally, Gu Yan Ting was just a bait placed by the Imperial Family on the surface of the water, wanting to catch the big fish in the lake, yet who knew that he was poisoned by the bait after the wrong move. It truly was ironic.
Lou girl, you said before that you wanted to make a deal with the Imperial Family. It shouldnt just be to cure your Paternal Uncle Emperor, is it? The purple-clothed man smiled enigmatically.
This girl was even more crafty than Lou Zhan Tian that old little kid and Lou Mu Yu that slippery head. Bringing up Yun Tian Chen being poisoned first was probably so that she could have an extra bargaining chip for the subsequent negotiations.
If Lou Mu Yan knew Ancestor Yuns guess, shed probably clap her hands and paise him the older the ginger, the spicier it was2.
Naturally it isnt only about the poisoning of Paternal Uncle Emperor, thats just in addition to. Lou Mu Yan smiled sweetly and blinked her eyes at the purple-clothed man, Imperial Ancestor, what if I said I still have Marrow Cleansing Pills?
HAHA The purple-clothed man raised his head and laughed, restraining the shock and joy in his eyes, I just knew that you, girl, is even more crafty than your grandfather.
Speak, how do you want to trade?
Although he suspected that Lou Mu Yan still had Marrow Cleansing Pills in her hand, but he wasnt certain. After all, it was already incredible that so many such Heaven-defying pills could spread around. Who knew that she really had some left in her hands.
It seemed that the hidden Master behind little Lou girl really pampered her dearly. No matter what conditions she made, their Imperial Family wouldnt suffer too much.

1this was a bit tricky to translate. is the name of a type of plant, the silk tree or acacia tree idk, Im not good with botany lol. But its also a euphemism for make love. I just went ahead and translated it into the euphemism meaning because it makes more sense and thats exactly what the poison is
2Im sure everyone knows what gu is, what with the super popular Reverend Insanity being all the hype these days HAHA (at least, it was everywhere in the FB groups I joined). But gu has also been used in a lot of c-novels too. Its mostly, if not always, depicted as a type of insect and depending on the novel, the explanation of how to raise gu is different. In general, and in mythology, gu is a type of black magic, I guess, described as a type of poison where several venomous creatures (centipede, spider, snake etc.) are put into a closed container where they devour one another and eventually concentrate all their toxins into the lone survivor. There are some differing versions of the story, including things like what the gu is used for, where it originates etc. but thats about it in general.
