”Because a Gu Poison Man is no longer considered a living person.”

Lu Tianxing said heavily, ”A Gu Poison Man suddenly has a human appearance, but their entire being, including their blood, is filled with venom, and like Gu Worms, they are kept in captivity and need constant feeding, so they are called Gu Poison Men.”

”Filled with venom all over?”

Lin Yafei heard this and said, ”Tianxing, is there a way to restrain this poison?”

”There is!”

Lu Tianxing did not hesitate and directly said, ”Actually, the venom carried by the Gu Poison Man is very easy to dissolve; at least, someone slightly versed in pharmacology can dissolve it. However, no one who has been poisoned by it has survived.”

This time, before Lin Yafei could speak, Bai Zhiqing, sitting beside her, couldn’t help but ask, ”Nobody can survive? Tianxing, what do you mean by this?”

Given that the venom on a Gu Poison Man is easy to dissolve, why is it that no one survives? Isn’t this somewhat contradictory?

”Little Qingqing, the reason is actually quite simple. The venom on the Gu Poison Man is indeed easy to dissolve, but no one can last long enough to prepare the antidote, am I right, young man?”

With that, Lin Yafei glanced at Lu Tianxing.

”Correct.”

Feeling Lin Yafei’s gaze, Lu Tianxing nodded lightly and said, ”Darling, Lin Demon is right. The venom on the Gu Poison Man is indeed easy to dissolve, but no one can endure long enough to make the antidote, because the venom is terribly corrosive. Once poisoned, even a trace will penetrate your heart in no time. The stronger your power, the quicker you die. If a Yellow-level Martial Artist can last ten breaths, then a Late Stage of Mythical Martial Artist might only last three breaths before inevitably dying. At that moment, do you think you can endure until the antidote is prepared?”

”Isn’t there a way to prepare the antidote in advance to ensure foolproof safety?”

Bai Zhiqing again raised her question.

”Darling, it’s useless.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing, shook his head, and said, ”The frightening thing about a Gu Poison Man, aside from the deadly venom, is this: the venom can adapt to their desires, creating different toxins. Even if you have an antidote, what’s the point? As soon as they have a whim, they can modify the venom within themselves. How can you neutralize it!”

Saying this, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath; this is the most terrifying aspect. You know the poison you’ve contracted can be easily dissolved, yet you lack the ability and time to sustain yourself until the antidote is prepared. This pain of wanting to live but being unable to is truly the most fearsome thing.

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing and Lin Yafei were momentarily silent, speechless, because the poison from a Gu Poison Man is the easiest to solve, but equally the most terrifying.

”Tianxing, does this mean Chen Changwu has been turned into a Gu Poison Man?”

Lin Yafei suddenly asked, ”What’s the connection between blood drinking and a Gu Poison Man?”

”Of course, there’s a connection.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Lin Yafei and said, ”Lin Demon, I told you before, a Gu Poison Man is no longer strictly speaking a living person, so they don’t have the body warmth of a human. Naturally, their blood is cold, and as is well-known, when night falls, the yang energy weakens to the extreme, and the yin energy thrives. As a Gu Poison Man, their blood is cold, and when the yin energy thrives, their blood changes, gradually freezing, accompanied by heart-wrenching pain. If the Gu Poison Man doesn’t want to die because their blood freezes, they must find a way to resolve the problem of internal blood freezing.”

As Lu Tianxing finished speaking, Lin Yafei’s voice immediately rang out: ”That resolution is to consume live human fresh blood?”

”Correct, that’s the resolution.”

Lu Tianxing nodded and said, ”The blood of the living is different from that of the dead—the blood of the dead is cold, whereas the blood of the living is warm. They can relieve the freezing problem in their blood by consuming the hot fresh blood of the living, surviving the night, but from now on, they must consume fresh blood every night, or inevitably face death.”

After hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lin Yafei frowned deeply and said solemnly, ”Tianxing, according to what you said, is Chen Changwu a Gu Poison Man?”

”I’m not particularly sure.”
