Chapter 71 Exorcising the Gu Poison
The last page of the notebook was surprisingly an introduction to the Spiritual Life Species.

The Life Seed is a fifth-tier treasure containing abundant life essence, capable of replenishing the life force of pets or humans whose life force has been exhausted.

It is one of the key components for synthesizing the seventh-tier treasure, the Heart of Life.

Although this treasure is rated as tier 5, its specialness and rarity mean that its value may be equivalent to that of a tier 6 treasure.

After use, the Life Seed will enter the body of a pet or human, growing or dying together with it.

Before a pet or human dies, the Life Seed can be removed from their body for reuse.

Ye Bai's heart skipped a beat, but he still closed the notebook as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't even seen the last page.

Ye Bai felt a sense of urgency; if the life seed were discovered inside Da Hui, Da Hui would die.

Never underestimate the greed in human nature, or the tenacity of some people who are on their last legs to survive.

It seems we need to find a way to completely conceal the life essence within the Big Gray's body.

If some secret technique were to be able to track the aura of the life spirit seed, then the Great Gray would be in grave danger!
Suna smiled, revealing a meaningful smile.

She leaned back, and countless clods of earth piled up behind her, forming a chair made of clay.

This is her pet's unique talent for manipulating the soil.

Since there's no one in the ring right now, there's no need to stay on the ring.

Suna sat quietly in the chair, reading a book, looking serene and content.

After defeating Boxing Rabbit and Fluorescent Jellyfish in succession, the remaining students believed that they were not capable of defeating Ye Bai's Myriad Transformations Silkworm.

They didn't want to embarrass themselves or become a laughing stock.

So, no one went up to challenge Ye Bai on the number one arena all morning.

At this moment, Zhang Lingxue came to the small house where her grandfather lived once again. This time, she came prepared.

Upon seeing Zhang Lingxue approach, Principal Zhang frowned: "Xiaoxue, didn't I tell you I'm fine?"

"You don't need to come over every few days, I'm in great health."

"With you coming over every few days, how can you concentrate on your research?"

As soon as Principal Zhang finished speaking, that burning sensation returned.

He endured the pain, his teeth chattering.

After a few days of relief, the chronic illness flared up again.

Zhang Lingxue could also sense that the blood gu in Principal Zhang's body had begun to become active again.

"Grandpa, I have found a way to cure your chronic illness."

Zhang Lingxue released the Blood Gu Butterfly from her pet space.

This beautiful and alluring butterfly is dancing gracefully in mid-air.

Beams of blood-red light fell from the butterfly wings and spread over Principal Zhang's body.

Principal Zhang suddenly felt the burning sensation inside his body subside at that moment.

"Xiaoxue, what exactly happened?"

Principal Zhang was greatly puzzled.
"Grandpa, after I took a blood sample from you, I found a lot of tiny worms in your blood."

"After consulting with the teacher, I learned that you have been poisoned by a type of Gu poison called Blood Gu."

"This blood gu is one-tenth the size of a normal cell, and it even has its own consciousness."

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Lingxue continued, "Normally when we draw blood, it hides inside your body's organs and doesn't come out."

"So we haven't discovered the existence of the Blood Gu until now."

"If it weren't for the nutritional supplement I gave you, which put this blood worm into a dormant state, I wouldn't have discovered this clue."

"This is why so many renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctors couldn't diagnose it."

"The more rare and precious herbs you consume, the more the blood gu will multiply."

"And this Blood Gu Butterfly evolved into a fourth-tier pet beast by using the Gu poison extracted from your body."

"Its ability is to manipulate Gu poison, which can completely remove the blood Gu from your body."

The Blood Gu Butterfly is essentially the king of the Blood Gu.

"Haha, Xiaoxue has grown up and can now help Grandpa with the chores."

"This Blood Gu Butterfly must have evolved from your Hundred Transformations Silkworm."

"You stumbled upon a completely new evolutionary path."

Principal Zhang said with great satisfaction.

"Then let's begin the treatment."

Zhang Lingxue nodded to the Blood Gu Butterfly.

The Blood Gu Butterfly opened its mouth and emitted a type of infrasound.

Humans cannot hear this infrasound; only blood worms can receive this audio.

As if heeding the king's call, countless blood worms surged toward one direction.

Principal Zhang suddenly felt his veins throbbing, and when he raised his hand, his fingers swelled up at a visible speed.

At this moment, the Blood Gu Butterfly extended its mouthparts, which resembled syringes.

Its mouthparts, like a dragonfly skimming the water, touched each of Principal Zhang's ten fingers one by one.

After the fingertip was cut, what gushed out was a milky white liquid, which was an army of blood gu made up of countless tiny blood gu.

The Blood Gu Butterfly opened its mouth and sucked the milky white liquid into its body.

Principal Zhang felt much better physically.

However, Zhang Lingxue discovered, while manipulating the skill with the Gu poison, that the Gu poison on Principal Zhang's body had not been completely removed; approximately two-thirds of the blood Gu remained. After communicating with the Blood Gu Butterfly, Zhang Lingxue realized that absorbing this much blood Gu was already the Blood Gu Butterfly's limit.

It needs time to transform these blood gu into something that the blood gu butterflies can use.

This conversion process takes three days.

Zhang Lingxue was slightly disappointed, but these three days were still within a controllable range.

The nutritional supplements can put the blood worms in Grandpa's body into a dormant state, and I believe they will soon be able to expel the stubborn illness from Grandpa's body.

"By the way, Grandpa, my teacher is coming to visit you next week."

"She wants to see your condition and then visit my lab to see my latest research results."

Upon hearing this, Principal Zhang's expression changed drastically: "Nonsense! How can I let Academician Su come to see me?"

"She is a national treasure-level scientist in our Yan Kingdom Alliance."

"Her safety is the most important thing."

"Why are you only telling me about something this big now!"

Principal Zhang paced back and forth on the ground with her hands behind her back. Academician Su has many important projects under her control, and she cannot afford to have any problems.

"However, given Su Qingxian's stubbornness, once she makes a decision, she won't change it."

"How about this, your senior brother, President Wang, and I will discuss it and see how to arrange her schedule."

Zhang Lingxue nodded: "Grandpa, remember to take the medicine I prepared for you on time."

"I will come back to treat you in three days."

In fact, Zhang Lingxue had another idea: to cultivate more Blood Gu Butterflies so that she could solve all the problems at once.

Her grandfather was fully recovered and joined the teacher's security team to ensure the teacher's safety.

If something were to happen to one's teacher here, the consequences would be unimaginable.

When Zhang Lingxue returned to the research institute, she found it deserted and no one answered her calls to Ye Bai.

Where did that kid run off to?
Where is the promised information on the Blood Gu Butterfly?
Just then, she suddenly slapped her forehead. That's right, today is the arena competition, and Ye Bai has gone to the arena to compete.

After finishing lunch, Ye Bai saw that no one was willing to challenge him, so he discussed it with Director Su Na.

"Director Su, I see no one is challenging me here, and I'm just standing here doing nothing anyway. How about I leave my pet here and go for a walk?"

Ye Bai asked tentatively.

"It seems you're quite confident in the strength of your pet."

"However, if your opponents' pets are generally tier one, while yours are tier two, then you do have that ability."

"Okay, go ahead, just be careful."

"But don't cry if your pet loses the arena later."

Suna smiled and turned to another page of her book.

The Myriad Transformations Silkworm was still fast asleep on the arena; it had been exhausted lately.

The evolution that splits the creature into two clones is practically the death knell for the Myriad Transformations Silkworm.

Its mouth was wide open, and a pool of crystal-clear liquid flowed from the corner of its mouth.

As soon as Ye Bai returned to the laboratory, he noticed a busy figure.

Zhang Lingxue only realized Ye Bai had returned after hearing the noise.

"Isn't this a ring match?"

Zhang Lingxue asked curiously.

"After my pet defeated the boxing rabbit and the fluorescent jellyfish, no one challenged it anymore."

"I've been just standing there in the ring all morning."

Ye Bai shrugged and placed the completed experimental reports on the Blood Poison Moth and Blood Gu Butterfly on the table.

"Based on my test results, the cellular activity of the Hundred Transformation Silkworm, which wants to evolve into the Blood Poison Moth and Blood Gu Butterfly, is higher than that of the ordinary Hundred Transformation Silkworm."

"They are more sensitive to the smell of blood nuclei."

"Teacher, if you want the Hundred Transformation Silkworm to evolve into the Blood Poison Moth and the Blood Gu Butterfly, then you need to select another batch of Hundred Transformation Silkworms."

Ye Bai said sincerely.

"That's it."

Zhang Lingxue thought for a moment.

"Then let's go to the Hundred Transformations Silkworm Farm and pick out a batch of Hundred Transformations Silkworms."

"Let's do it your way and use the blood core to test it, and see which of those ever-changing silkworms reacts first."

Ye Bai first discovered the evolutionary path of the Hundred Transformations Silkworm through his Eye of Insight, and then reversed the process to deduce the commonalities among those Hundred Transformations Silkworms that enabled them to evolve.

Ye Bai discovered by chance that the blood core was attractive to those ever-changing silkworms.

"The nearest farm to us is in the suburbs where Jiaying City and Changhe City meet."

“I’m quite familiar with the manager of that farm, so I can go in and choose the various silkworms.”

"Let's not delay, let's set off immediately."

Zhang Lingxue said impatiently.

After Ye Bai left, the students on the Wanbian Silkworm's side started to get excited.

Since Ye Bai, the beast master, isn't around, does that mean they can take advantage of the situation?

Then a rock-type pet beast with flames all over its body hopped and leaped onto the arena.
