"[Golden Silkworm Gu Poison]?"
At those words, Princess Taiping's gaze suddenly sharpened.
As one of the world's extraordinary poisons, Golden Silkworm Gu Poison had a dreadful reputation she had naturally heard of.
It was the deadliest poison of the Miao Borderlands, said to be "untouched by water or fire; once it enters the five organs, the six viscera perish."
When it flared, it felt like ten thousand silkworms devouring the heart, bringing agony beyond endurance. Worse, it could corrode the meridians and dissolve true qi. It was vicious beyond measure!
"Precisely."
Lu Changfeng nodded and explained its properties in detail. "This poison is extremely difficult to refine. A special method must be used to meld Golden Silkworm Gu larvae into one's own organs, then nurture them with true qi for a thousand days. Only then can they merge perfectly with true qi, becoming formless and intangible. But for that very reason, once the gu matures, gu and qi sustain each other and become difficult to separate. Implanting it in someone else's body is equally difficult."
"But the mastermind's methods were ruthless. They used True Person Mingyang as a living crucible, first merging the Golden Silkworm Gu with Mingyang's Fifth Realm true qi, then using the Sacrificial Gu's self-detonation as cover to turn blood qi into poisonous qi. Only thus could it enter Your Highness's body along with the true qi. It has now taken root, becoming deeply entangled with your source true qi and constantly devouring your cultivation. If left unchecked, once it grows strong..."
Lu Changfeng did not finish, but Princess Taiping already understood.
When that time came, she would lose all her cultivation and endure the torment of ten thousand insects devouring her heart. Her life and death would lie entirely in another's hands!
What a vicious intent!
