"Senior Bai, you misunderstand." Chen Ze suddenly interrupted him. "When I said it would be troublesome, I didn't mean it couldn't be cured."
With a thought, he directly contacted Qingyao. "I need an antidote or method that can cure the Soul-Eating Gu. Help me check whether the Myriad Things Shop has one."
"Searching for you now." Qingyao's voice rang out in Chen Ze's mind.
"There are two solutions for the Soul-Eating Gu antidote: the first is the eighth-grade pill, the Nether-Purifying Gu-Transforming Pill, which requires thirty million Points.
"The second is cultivating the Saint-tier Cultivation Technique, the Gu-Devouring Spirit-Transforming Art. It can transform all gu poison into spiritual power to nourish its host, and requires fifty million Points."
After thinking briefly, Chen Ze immediately made his decision. "Exchange both the eighth-grade Nether-Purifying Gu-Transforming Pill and the Gu-Devouring Spirit-Transforming Art."
"Exchange successful."
In an instant, a pill and a jade slip appeared in Chen Ze's hands.
"Senior Bai, I have two methods."
"The first is taking the eighth-grade Nether-Purifying Gu-Transforming Pill. It can completely remove the gu poison, but it will cost you half your cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Bai Wuyai's withered fingers suddenly clenched tight, his knuckles turning white.
A drop of three stages in cultivation meant that he would very likely fall from the Spirit Severing Realm back into the Nascent Soul Realm—perhaps even lower.
However, compared with enduring the agony of the Soul-Eating Gu and facing imminent death, a fall in cultivation no longer seemed impossible to accept.
"And the second method?" he asked hopefully.
"The second is to cultivate the Saint-tier Cultivation Technique, the Gu-Devouring Spirit-Transforming Art. It can transform all gu poison into pure spiritual power, and may instead help your cultivation advance."
"How is that possible?" Bai Wuyai's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
