Chapter 228: Parasitic Qi and Blood; Li Chonghe Abstains from Lust

Found it, it's you! Zhou You spent half the night reading through all the intelligence and locked onto the head Disciple Li Chonghe as his target.

This guy is a lecherous scoundrel who can't live without carnal pleasure; the intensity of his desires makes one wonder if he's part-terrier.

Those who practice martial arts have abundant and overflowing Qi and blood, and with such vigorous energy, using women to vent is common behavior.

For example, Wang Laohu has several concubines, not out of lust or indulgence, but purely for health preservation.

But someone like Li Chonghe, tsk tsk, that's the behavior of a pure stallion.

As the saying goes, flies don't land on seamless eggs; Li Chonghe is the flaw of Golden Crane Mountain, and the biggest flaw at that.

A plump little worm wriggled in Zhou You's palm, its outline appearing and disappearing, almost merging into one with his flesh.

The flesh and blood composed of this worm can switch into a state of Qi and blood, merging into the body of a martial artist without any obstruction.

Under normal circumstances, it has two states: Dormant and Parasitic.

In the Dormant state, it wakes and sleeps intermittently, able to enter and exit the human body at any time, traveling through blood vessels, meridians, and internal organs; this stage has no lethality and can be freely transferred between different human bodies.

The Parasitic state is different.

He plotted against his own companions by using female companions as a medium.

Li Chonghe has eight concubines alone, not to mention his secret lovers and the occasional fresh virgin courtesan he samples; there are more than enough opportunities to strike.

Zhou You first explained to his parents that he needed to help a fellow Disciple he was on good terms with and would be away from home for 2-3 days.

After leaving the city, he found a secluded spot where no one was around and set off in the identity of Lu Zhigang.

Golden Crane Mountain is the local tyrant in town, whose word is law, and his four Disciples also have special status, with no one daring to provoke them.

With a little bit of inquiry, he knew the few places Li Chonghe frequented.

As an outsider and a stranger, Zhou You was prone to attracting attention, so he simply rested during the day and prowled at night to gather information.

With his Lightness Skill, he could drift past ordinary people and make them turn a blind eye.

Usually, a gust of cold wind would blow by, and Zhou You would swagger past, with seven or eight people unable to see his back.

Private residences, flower houses, pavilions...

Zhou You followed Li Chonghe for 3 days and 3 nights, finally selecting the place to strike.

This martial artist in the late stage of Qi and blood, upholding the principle that both domestic and wild flowers are fragrant, spread his favors far and wide, enjoying himself outside while not forgetting to irrigate the delicate flowers at home.

These past few days, he had been particularly fond of his eighth concubine; this concubine was in the bloom of youth, and to vie for favor, she had recently learned the arts of the bedchamber, leaving him with no time to be distracted.

Zhou You had personally watched the live broadcast time and again, his heart as calm as an ancient well.

One day, taking advantage of the concubine napping alone at home, Zhou You landed without a sound and placed the Qi and blood into her ear.

The plump little worm crawled into the small, exquisite ear canal, wiggled its tail a few times, and vanished without a trace.

The concubine frowned slightly, turned over, muttered a few words in her sleep, and continued sleeping.

That night, Li Chonghe returned from a banquet, dead drunk; looking at the beauty under the lamp, the concubine's intimate undergarments were exceptionally charming and alluring, making his mouth dry and his tongue parched, and he pulled her directly into the bed curtains.

A night of thunder and fire, red candles overturned, curtain shadows swaying, dark clouds in disarray, branches pressed low.

When passion reached its peak and Qi and blood boiled in chaos, under Zhou You's manipulation, the Qi and blood suddenly turned into a wisp of warm current, surging backward from the concubine's abdomen into Li Chonghe's body, where it coiled and entered the Parasitic state.

"Done!"

In a corner not far away, Zhou You opened his eyes.

The Qi and blood took up residence in Li Chonghe's body, intercepting a portion of his Qi and blood to swallow and disguise itself, taking root completely.

From this moment on, even the most brilliant physician would be unable to detect the existence of the Qi and blood within Li Chonghe.

This also meant that Li Chonghe's life and death were now under Zhou You's control. Zhou You sensed it slightly and realized the power of the Qi and blood was truly heaven-defying.

For example, the Qi and blood is like a wireless module, receiving Zhou You's instructions, compiling and transcoding them, and inputting signals for Li Chonghe to execute.

Even if Zhou You ordered Li Chonghe to kill his master or even commit suicide, he would resolutely execute it.

The next day...

Li Chonghe practiced his fists in the morning, practicing the "Heming Fist" personally taught by Golden Crane Mountain.

Although he was lecherous, he was very diligent in practicing martial arts, otherwise he wouldn't have reached the late stage of Qi and blood.

Master Golden Crane Mountain had long since provided Instruction on weapon techniques, but he suffered from not having suitable gauntlets, so he couldn't practice in depth.

He didn't care for ordinary leather; if he wanted them, he wanted Martial Master Skin gauntlets.

Unfortunately, Martial Master Skin is extremely precious; how could someone in the late stage of Qi and blood get his hands on it?

Suddenly...

A strange glint flashed in Li Chonghe's eyes, and he suddenly threw out a completely different set of fist techniques.

A tiger's roar could be faintly heard in the wind; it was, shockingly... Tiger-Subduing Fist.

At this very moment, the Qi and blood coiled in his mind, controlling his thoughts and actions, reacting according to Zhou You's remote control.

He had never learned this set of Tiger-Subduing Fist, yet now he performed it with extreme proficiency; there was no need to ask, it was Zhou You's handiwork.

"Experience Points +10, Experience Points +10..."

An unexpected joy arrived; under the manipulation of the Qi and blood, Li Chonghe could even harvest Experience Points while practicing his fists.

This isn't Qi and blood at all; it's simply a Trojan virus, directly turning Li Chonghe into his own bot, mining for him...

Zhou You touched his conscience; fortunately, it didn't ache! Using Li Chonghe to assassinate his master and then using him as a bot to increase Experience Points, he was truly a devilish capitalist.

After most of the day, Li Chonghe stopped, drenched in sweat, and looked around in a daze.

What was going on? He couldn't remember what had just happened; his mind was a complete blank.

He wasn't at the age of senility and forgetfulness, so how could such a situation suddenly occur?

Terrible, could the folk legend that excessive indulgence damages Qi and blood, leading to the melting of the brain marrow, be true? Li Chonghe's expression was uncertain, and he immediately turned and walked toward the largest medical clinic in town.

A few days later, he sat at home sighing and groaning, his heart heavy with worry.

He had seen countless physicians and taken countless famous medicines, but the problem of forgetfulness not only failed to disappear, it became even more severe.

Often when no one was around, he would unconsciously do some incredible things, and afterward, his mind would be a blank, unable to remember anything at all.

Furthermore, every time his tongue felt excruciating pain and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, it was actually caused by him biting the tip of his tongue himself.

Once or twice would be fine, but every single time like this was far too strange.

This ailment didn't seem like much usually, but at a critical moment, it could be fatal! If by any chance Master found out...

Li Chonghe thought of this and couldn't help but shudder, feeling that the surroundings were incomparably cold.

At this moment, his concubine brought over a bowl of hot medicinal soup, walking toward him gracefully with a seductive gaze, a fragrant breeze blowing into his face.

"Get out! From today on, I, Li Chonghe, am abstaining from lust!"

With a *clatter*, the soup bowl shattered into pieces, and the concubine was so frightened her face turned ashen.

And so, the town's biggest joke of the year was born: Li Chonghe is abstaining from lust.

The matter once became a huge sensation, and even Golden Crane Mountain came to inquire, worried about whether their head Disciple had suffered some kind of shock that caused such a drastic change in temperament.
