Chapter 71: Expelling the Gu Poison

The last page of the notebook was actually an introduction to the Life Spirit Seed.

The Life Spirit Seed is a Tier 5 treasure that contains vast life essence, capable of replenishing the vitality of Pet Beasts or humans whose life force has been exhausted.

It is one of the important cores for synthesizing the Tier 7 treasure, the Heart of Life.

Although this treasure is rated as Tier 5, its value could be equivalent to a Tier 6 treasure due to its uniqueness and rarity.

After being used, the Life Spirit Seed enters the body of the Pet Beast or human, growing or perishing along with them.

Before the Pet Beast or human dies, the Life Spirit Seed can be retrieved from their body and used again.

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

Ye Bai felt a sense of urgency; if anyone discovered the Life Spirit Seed inside Dahui, Dahui would die.

Never underestimate the greed of human nature, nor the persistence of those at the end of their rope to keep on living.

It seems he must find a way to completely hide the aura of the Life Spirit Seed inside Dahui.

If there were some secret technique capable of tracking the aura of the Life Spirit Seed, then Dahui would be in danger!

Su Na's lips curled, revealing a meaningful smile.

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

This was the unique talent for manipulating soil possessed by her Pet Beast.

Since there was no one on the arena stage at this moment, there was no need to keep standing on it.

Su Na sat quietly on the chair, reading a book in silence, looking as if the world were peaceful and serene.

After consecutively defeating the Boxing Rabbit and the Fluorescent Jellyfish, the remaining students believed they did not have the ability to beat Ye Bai's Baibian Can.

They also did not want to embarrass themselves and become a laughingstock in others' mouths.

Therefore, an entire morning passed, and no one came up to challenge the No. 1 arena where Ye Bai was.

At this time, Zhang Lingxue arrived once again at the small cabin where her grandfather lived; this time, she had come prepared.

Seeing Zhang Lingxue arrive, Principal Zhang frowned: "Xiao Xue, didn't I tell you that I'm fine?"

"You don't need to come over every few days; my body is quite sturdy."

"If you keep coming over every few days like this, how will you have the heart to do your research?"

Just as Principal Zhang finished speaking, that burning, scorching sensation struck again.

He endured the pain, his teeth making a *clack-clack-clack* sound.

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

Zhang Lingxue could also feel that the Blood Gu inside Principal Zhang's body had begun to stir once more.

"Grandfather, I have already found a way to treat the chronic illness in your body."

Zhang Lingxue released the Blood Gu Butterfly from her Pet Beast Space.

This beautiful and enchanting butterfly danced gracefully in mid-air.

Rays of blood-red light fell from the butterfly's wings, scattering over Principal Zhang's body.

Principal Zhang suddenly felt the burning, scorching sensation in his body subside at this very moment.

"Xiao Xue, what exactly is going on?"

Principal Zhang was deeply puzzled.

"Grandfather, after I sampled your blood, I discovered that there are a large number of tiny insects in your blood."

"After consulting with my teacher, I learned that you have been infected with 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: "Usually, when we draw blood, they hide inside your body's organs and don't come out."

"That is why we haven't discovered the existence of the Blood Gu until now."

"If it weren't for the Nutritional Potion I gave you, which could force this Blood Gu into a dormant state, I wouldn't have discovered this clue."

"This is the reason why so many national medical experts couldn't see it."

"The more precious medicinal herbs you consume, the more the Blood Gu multiplies."

"And this Blood Gu Butterfly is a Tier 4 Pet Beast that evolved by feeding on the Gu poison extracted from you."

"Its ability is Gu Poison Manipulation, and it can completely clear the Blood Gu from your body."

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

"Haha, Xiao Xue has grown up and can share the burden for Grandfather."

"This Blood Gu Butterfly must have evolved from your Baibian Can, right?"

"You stumbled upon a brand-new evolutionary path."

Principal Zhang said with immense gratification.

"Then let's begin the treatment."

Zhang Lingxue nodded at the Blood Gu Butterfly.

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

Humans cannot hear this type of infrasound wave; only the Blood Gu can receive this frequency.

Countless Blood Gu seemed to hear the call of their king and surged toward one direction one after another.

Principal Zhang suddenly felt his blood vessels swelling; he raised his hands, and his fingers also swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, the Blood Gu Butterfly extended its needle-like mouthparts.

The mouthparts tapped against each of Principal Zhang's ten fingers like a dragonfly skimming the water.

After the wounds appeared on his fingertips, what rushed out was a milky-white liquid; this was the Blood Gu army composed of countless tiny Blood Gu.

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

Principal Zhang felt his body become much smoother.

However, through the skill Gu Poison Manipulation, Zhang Lingxue discovered that the Gu poison in Principal Zhang's body had not been completely removed, and about two-thirds of the blood Gu remained.

After communicating with the Blood Gu Butterfly, Zhang Lingxue discovered that absorbing so much blood Gu was already the limit for the Blood Gu Butterfly.

It needed time to convert these blood Gu to make them usable for the Blood Gu Butterfly.

This conversion process required three days.

Zhang Lingxue felt a little regretful, but these three days were still within a controllable range.

The Nutritional Potion could make the blood Gu in her grandfather's body enter a dormant state, and she believed the stubborn illness in her grandfather's body would soon be expelled.

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

"She wants to see your condition, and then visit my Laboratory to see my recent research results."

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

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

"Her safety is the top priority."

"Such a big matter, why are you only saying it now!"

Principal Zhang paced back and forth on the floor with his hands behind his back; Academician Su had many major projects in her hands, and she could not afford any accidents.

"But with Su Qingxian's stubborn temper, once she decides on something, she won't change it."

"How about this, I will discuss it with your senior fellow apprentice and President Wang to see how her itinerary can be arranged."

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

"Three days later, I will come over to treat you again."

Actually, Zhang Lingxue had another idea, which was to cultivate a few more Blood Gu Butterflies; she wanted to solve all the troubles at once.

To let her grandfather recover completely and join her teacher's security team to ensure her teacher's safety was foolproof.

If her teacher were to have an accident here, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After Zhang Lingxue returned to the Research Institute, she found the Research Institute empty, and no one answered when she called Ye Bai.

Where did this kid run off to?

What about the promised data on the Blood Gu Butterfly?

At this moment, she slapped her forehead suddenly; right, today was the arena competition, Ye Bai must have gone to compete.

After Ye Bai finished his lunch, seeing that no one was willing to challenge the arena, he discussed it with Director Su Na.

"Director Su, look, no one is challenging my arena, and since there's nothing to do standing here anyway, how about I leave my Pet Beast here and go out for a stroll?"

Ye Bai asked tentatively.

"It seems you are quite confident in the strength of your Pet Beast."

"However, if the opponents' Pet Beasts are generally Tier 1 and your Pet Beast is Tier 2, you indeed have this capability."

"Fine, you go ahead, just pay attention to safety."

"But if your Pet Beast loses the arena later, don't come crying to me."

Su Na smiled and turned another page of her book.

The Myriad-Change Silkworm was still sleeping soundly in the arena at this time; it had been truly too exhausted lately.

Evolving and adding two Clones was simply killing the Myriad-Change Silkworm.

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

As soon as Ye Bai walked back to the Laboratory, he discovered a busy figure.

After Zhang Lingxue heard the movement, she realized Ye Bai had returned.

"Aren't you at the arena competition?"

Zhang Lingxue asked curiously.

"After my Pet Beast defeated the Boxing Rabbit and the Fluorescent Jellyfish, no one came to challenge the arena."

"I've been spacing out in the arena for the whole morning."

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

"According to my test results, for the Baibian Can to evolve into a Blood Poison Moth and a Blood Gu Butterfly, their cell activity must be higher than that of an ordinary Baibian Can."

"They are more sensitive to the scent of the Blood Core."

"Teacher, if you want to let the Baibian Can evolve into a Blood Poison Moth and a Blood Gu Butterfly, you have to select another batch of Baibian Can."

Ye Bai said sincerely.

"Is that so."

Zhang Lingxue thought for a moment.

"Then let's go to the Baibian Can breeding farm to pick a batch of Baibian Can."

"We'll follow the method you mentioned, use the Blood Core to test them, and see which of those Baibian Can react the fastest."

Ye Bai had first discovered the evolution route of the Baibian Can through the Insight Eye, and then worked backward to deduce the common points that allowed those Baibian Can to evolve.

The attraction of the Blood Core to those Baibian Can was also something Ye Bai discovered by accident.

"The breeding farm closest to us is in the suburbs at the junction of Jiaying City and Changhe Shi."

"I am quite familiar with the manager of that breeding farm, so we can go into the breeding farm to select Baibian Can."

"There is no time to lose, let's set off immediately."

Zhang Lingxue said impatiently.

On the side of the Myriad-Change Silkworm, after the students saw Ye Bai leave, their minds began to stir.

Since Ye Bai, this Pet Beast Master, was not around, did this mean they could fish in troubled waters?

Thus, a rock-type Pet Beast with flames all over its body jumped onto the arena.
