Venerated Venomous Consort

Before he could ask Long Siye for this favor, he decided to send someone off again. Moreover, it took him a few days, and he had not returned until now.

”What if it would affect another student’s future if he recovers?”

Gu Canmo frowned, ”What do you want to do? And why is it related to another student?”

Gu Xijiu casually said, ”Because someone stole Qian Lingyu’s power! We must find the student if we want to save Qian Lingyu and get him to return the power he stole.”

Gu Canmo was confused, ”What do you mean?”

Gu Xijiu sighed, ”Fine; then I’ll just tell you straight to the point. Qian Lingyu wasn’t losing control; the strange illness wasn’t the side effect of losing control. Someone has cast a spell on him!”

Gu Canmo was shocked, ”What! What kind of spell? Impossible, I did suspect that and invited a magic expert to check, it wasn’t like what you said.”

Gu Xijiu shook her head and said, ”It was a special spell as it was only a general spell but a venomous one. It was the Gown Poison.”

Gown Poison was created by Gu Xijiu as she recalled the Gown Magic in one of the Wuxia novels. She decided to explain the characteristics of the poison spell, ”The reason for its name was because the power he got can never be used by himself, as though the girls who made the gowns couldn’t get married even after making so many gowns for others. The victim who got the spell would lose his power to the one who cast the spell via the same venomous worm. The more the victim practice the Kung Fu, the faster he loses his power and the one who cast the spell would be stronger…”

Gu Canmo was shocked as he listened. He was an old ginger, and he knew who the culprit was. He frowned and asked, ”Do you mean Qian Lingtian was the one who cast the spell?”

Gu Xijiu nodded, ”Yes.”

”What proof do you have? Are you just speculating?” Gu Canmo did not wholeheartedly believe.

Gu Xijiu smiled and said, ”Of course I have the evidence, but I need you to help me get it. Of course, it’s your call whether you want to find out the truth.”

Gu Canmo was good with the plan, ”Go ahead; I’ll not be biased to anyone, just tell me what do you need.”

Gu Xijiu answered, ”It’s straightforward. There’s a special trait to control the spell which the victim and the culprit will need to practice Kung Fu at the same time. Whenever the victim starts to practice, the culprit would know, and he would do the same. I told Qian Lingyu to practice at random hours and realized both of them were doing the same thing at the same time. You can ask someone to observe them and see whether they practice at the same time.”

Gu Canmo nodded, ”That’s easy! But, that’s difficult to conclude if you only base it on this.”

Gu Xijiu smiled, ”Of course that’s not the only key thing. Stealing power from someone is an evil deed, and the stolen power would not be under control. Thus, the culprit would need a pill to override the power for his use.”

”What kind of pill?”

”The Fire Lava Pill!”

”Impossible! Making the pill is complicated. He will need to eat it every day if he steals Qian Lingyu’s power every day! It was a heavy usage, and he needs more than 300 pills a year! Tianju Hall doesn’t even have such a huge number of supply!”

”No, he doesn’t need to eat it every day. He needs a daily dose if he takes a grade-one pill, but if he takes higher grade pills, then it could last him for a few days. For example, the grade-two pill could last three days, the grade-three pill could last for seven days, and the grade-four pill could even last for a month!”
