Chapter 447: Chapter 446: Medicine Man

Feeling the evil Qi emanating from Lin Tian, everyone believed that he wasn’t just boasting. If pushed to that extent, he really would dare to kill all those Japanese.

What kind of young man was he to possess such awe-inspiring aura? Originally, Li Yue disliked Lin Tian very much, and hearing him talk about killing people should have made her dislike him even more, but instead, she found him less repulsive.

"Lin Tian, you... don’t need to do this," Miss said firmly, looking at Lin Tian with a soft voice.

"Don’t look at me like that, it might lead to misunderstandings," Lin Tian suddenly reined in his evil Qi and said something utterly hilarious yet inappropriate for the occasion.

However, Miss had no way of dealing with him. It was supposed to be a touching atmosphere, yet he made a comment that was laughably absurd; this bastard always managed to make people laugh when they were supposed to be sad, and to infuriate them to the point of tears when they should be laughing.

"You don’t need to argue anymore; I still have a way to counter the Gu," Li Qingyun suddenly said.

"What way?" Lin Tian and the others asked unanimously.

"Years ago, I traveled to the South Ocean and witnessed the cursing techniques there. The essence of cursing techniques is to use uniquely characteristic Gu worms or Gu medicine as a catalyst, unknowingly afflicting someone, inducing a special medicinal effect on the body to achieve a certain purpose of subjugating," Li Qingyun explained unhurriedly.

Without giving Lin Tian a chance to ask questions, she paused and then continued, "Although cursing techniques have evolved from Gu techniques, they have their unique aspects. The use of Gu medicine is particularly noteworthy, so I can use Gu medicine to counter the Gu."

After finishing her explanation, she turned and walked to an altar table. Under the altar table, there were several drawer-like storage compartments. Li Qingyun pulled open one of them, revealing a book inside, under which was a stack of yellow papers. She picked up the book and returned.

The cover of the book bore a single character: ’Talisman’. Upon opening it, it was filled with symbols that looked like ghostly scribbles, incomprehensible to Lin Tian.

"Look at this symbol, it’s called the Enchanting Gu Talisman. If I refine a special Gu medicine and use it to make special ink, and then draw the Enchanting Gu Talisman on Mr. Lin’s body, Mr. Lin will temporarily become a Medicine Man," Li Qingyun pointed at a symbol in the book and said.

"What is the function of becoming a Medicine Man?" Lin Tian asked.

"Once you become a Medicine Man, as long as there are Gu worms around you, they can sense it and will consider you the best nourishment. At that time, your attractiveness to the Gu worms is fatal; they will spare no effort to parasitize you. Therefore, you can attract the Soul-devouring Gu from Mr. Qi’s brain, and I will give you something to capture it," Li Qingyun explained in detail.

"The thing I give you can temporarily preserve the activity of the Soul-devouring Gu, otherwise, once it leaves its original host, it will parasitize you, or it might die after too long, and then it won’t be possible to refine a medicine that provides immunity against the Soul-devouring Gu," Li Qingyun said in detail.

Although she didn’t mention the danger of this method, everyone heard it. After Lin Tian became a Medicine Man, he would become a target for all Gu worms wanting to parasitize and devour him. It was like being surrounded by a swarm of sharks while cutting oneself to bleed, using the scent of blood to attract the sharks, a rhythm of courting death.

"Doesn’t that mean Lin Tian will be in constant danger?" Xiao Manxue said, unable to accept it.

"Of course, it’s more dangerous than the previous method. If he becomes a Medicine Man and encounters Gu worms even more formidable than the Soul-devouring Gu, then the danger is extreme. Worse still, if he encounters many formidable Gu worms, they could swarm over and eat him till nothing is left," Li Qingyun revealed a hint of a ruthless smile, scrutinizing Lin Tian as she spoke.

"Lin Tian, say something; this method is too dangerous, we should just leave," Miss urged anxiously.

"Who said I’m backing out? Life is too boring, and here’s something fun to do. How could I miss it?" Lin Tian said with a nonchalant attitude.

Miss thought Lin Tian said this because he didn’t feel psychologically burdened for her sake.

"Lin Tian, you are just a bodyguard for the Xiao Family. The Xiao Family isn’t worth you doing so much," Miss said softly as she looked at Lin Tian.

"Remember, on my first day as the Second Miss’s bodyguard, I told her I was her peerless hero. In her times of peril, I would arrive cloaked in the Golden Armor and riding a rainbow cloud to rescue her. A man’s promise is eternal and unchanging," Lin Tian declared decisively.

Although he was joking with Xiao Manxuan using a classic line from ’A Chinese Odyssey’ at that time, a promise is still a promise, whether joking or not, and that’s how Lin Tian saw it.

"You jerk, always saying things that make people cry." Hearing this, Miss’s eyes actually welled up, and she secretly turned her head to wipe her eyes. However, when she turned back, her eyes were still red.

Is Miss misunderstanding something? I was saying that to the Second Miss, not to you. Why are you crying? Lin Tian shook his head, not understanding, as this was completely unlike Miss’s style.

Professor Xue looked up at the sky, indicating he saw nothing.

"Since it’s decided, before crafting the Gu Medicine, I’m still missing one critical ingredient—Mr. Qi’s blood. Mr. Lin, go get it for me now. The sooner we can craft the Gu Medicine, the better, lest we encounter any mishaps along the way," Li Qingyun told Lin Tian straightforwardly.

"Okay, wait here, I’ll be right back," Lin Tian said as he turned to leave.

"Wait, when you draw the blood, take it from the back of the neck. Here’s a small vial for the blood; fill it up," Li Qingyun added, pulling out a brown glass vial from a drawer and handing it to Lin Tian.

"I want to come too," Miss said.

"Miss Xiao, you mustn’t go. Your payment to me has yet to be fulfilled—six drops of Ancient Martial Artist’s blood, which I’m very much looking forward to," Li Qingyun objected.

Lin Tian waved his hand, telling her to wait, and quickly left the house. However, as he was driving, he suddenly thought of something. Li Qingyun regarded the Ancient Martial Artist’s blood so importantly, and Miss had her monthly periods; isn’t that a huge waste?

Damn, I can’t believe I even thought of that. I’m definitely no gentleman, Lin Tian shamelessly thought.

This time, the drive wasn’t stop-and-go; Lin Tian quickly returned to the Qi Family. With no Zhou Botong as a hindrance, he entered the villa area without any worries, picking up speed and arriving once again at the back yard of the Qi Family Mansion.

Before entering, Lin Tian had already surveilled with X-ray vision; Qi Dapeng and two women were not in, having gone out. He approached the house, took off the golden wire from his wrist, and imitated Zhou Botong’s method to pick the lock.

Zhou Botong needed to rely on the feel of his hands to pick locks, but Lin Tian directly visualized the internal structure of the lock through X-ray vision, making it easy for him to unlock it after a few attempts.

Mr. Qi, having taken a life-extending potion, was still asleep—a pitiful playboy. Lin Tian made no fuss, directly piercing the vein in the back of his neck with the golden wire and slowly filled up a vial with blood.
