Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

"I've been poisoned by such an incurable poison! There are very few experts in the world who can cure this poison! Heavens! May I ask which divine being helped me?" Wen Long's face changed instantly upon hearing that he had been poisoned by such an incurable poison! Heavens! Who helped me cure this incurable Gu poison! "Xiu Chen!" Sitting down in front of Wen Long, Han Hu solemnly said to Wen Long.

Wen Long, who had been poisoned by a Gu poison in Linghai City at some unknown time, survived thanks to the equal deal made by Li Xiuchen and Han Hu. After learning that Li Xiuchen had helped him and cured him of this incurable Gu poison…

“Li Xiuchen! How could it be! How could it be him! He has always only had a relationship of mutual exploitation with our Wen family! I don’t think he would help me! Besides, such an incurable Gu poison!” Wen Long looked incredulous.

"Actually, I wasn't sure if he could cure this poison, after all, this Gu poison is almost incurable by anyone in the world! I didn't expect that he could actually cure it! Of course, if I begged him, Li Xiuchen would definitely not help us! I naturally expected that!" Han Hu tilted his confident face and glanced at Wen Long with an extremely intelligent look!

Wenlong sneered at Han Hu, punched Han Hu in the chest, and said, "Alright, just tell me already! Stop teasing me!" He then glared at Han Hu.

"Do you still remember Weiwei?" Han Hu stared wide-eyed at Wen Long.

“I remember! I recall that Weiwei was kind to Li Xiuchen. Why bring her up? Could it be related to curing the Gu poison?” Wen Long asked, his face full of doubt.

"Of course, this Weiwei is extremely useful in saving you! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have had the leverage to help you get this antidote!" Han Hu solemnly teased Wen Long, who looked puzzled.

"Han Hu! What exactly happened? Tell me now! Stop keeping me in suspense! You're making us wonder!" Wen Long shouted impatiently at Han Hu!

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore! I'm telling you seriously now!"

"It's precisely because Weiwei has done Li Xiuchen a favor that I've made an equal exchange!" Han Hu winked at Wen Long and continued speaking.

"I told Li Xiuchen that Weiwei was poisoned by Gu, and that if she didn't take the antidote in advance, the Gu poison in Weiwei would take effect this year and cause her to explode and die! In return, I can obtain the antidote for the Gu poison in the girl who saved Weiwei! We are just exchanging what we need for each other!" Han Hu said seriously.

So that's how it is! Although it was a mutually beneficial arrangement, the potency and terror of the Burning Heart Pill's poison far surpassed the poison Weiwei had been afflicted with. Thinking of this, Wenlong felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards Li Xiuchen. Turning to Han Hu, he said, "Although it was a mutually beneficial arrangement, he risked his life to obtain the Ice Soul Grass to save my life! If he had known Weiwei was poisoned, how could Li Xiuchen not have found the antidote? He didn't do that; instead, he risked his life to gather the Ice Soul Grass to save me. If it weren't for him, I might have completely lost my mind and become a dried-up corpse! I, Wenlong, will forever remember this great kindness!"

Upon hearing Wen Long's words, Han Hu felt a surge of emotion, realizing that Wen Long was absolutely right! He then remembered that the antidote to save Weiwei was still in his possession, so he bid farewell to Wen Long, saying, "What you say is very true. Now that you have recovered, I will go and deliver the antidote to Li Xiuchen as soon as possible, and express my gratitude to him."

"That's wonderful! Go quickly!"

After saying goodbye to Wenlong, Han Hu went straight to Li Xiuchen's place.

As evening approached, Li Xiuchen returned from Wen Chong's place and began thinking about how to recover his fourth-day spiritual energy. While meditating, several abrupt sounds shattered the tranquility.

"Boom boom boom!"

Who is it? It's already evening, who could it be? I wonder, could it be Han Hu? Or could it be Wen Chong coming to ask me something again? Just then, Li Xiuchen stopped meditating, stood up, and opened the door.

Upon opening the door, Li Xiuchen stared in astonishment at Han Hu standing outside: "It's you?" Although he had guessed it was Han Hu, he was still taken aback to see him. He then invited Han Hu in and offered him tea.

"Li Xiuchen, thank you so much for saving Wenlong's life! I will never forget such a great kindness!" Han Hu expressed his sincere gratitude to Li Xiuchen as soon as he entered the room and sat down.

In fact, Li Xiuchen had anticipated their gratitude and didn't make a fuss or push. He was preoccupied with Weiwei's great kindness and wanted to quickly obtain the antidote to the poison afflicting her. Concealing his eagerness, Li Xiuchen politely replied to Han Hu, "It's alright! I dare not accept such a great favor. We are mutually benefiting. Although I saved his life, Weiwei's life is still in your hands! So please fulfill your promise and give me the antidote to Weiwei's poison as soon as possible!"

"Oh dear! Look at me, so careless! I forgot the important matter! Besides expressing my unforgettable gratitude to Wenlong for saving my life, the most important thing I've come to do is to bring you the antidote to the Gu poison that saved Weiwei!" Han Hu paused for a moment, then took out the antidote from his person and respectfully handed it to Li Xiuchen.

The antidote Han Hu handed to Li Xiuchen was a small, pale pink pill. Just holding it, one could feel its power; a cool sensation shot through his body the moment he touched it, instantly clearing his mind! A fragrant aroma filled the air. This demonstrated the pill's immense potency! At that moment, Li Xiuchen only wanted to immediately go to Weiwei and get the antidote for her.

Seeing Li Xiuchen's anxious expression, Han Hu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Pfft! Cough cough! Xiuchen, don't be in such a hurry! This medicine isn't as simple as just taking it!"

What do you mean? It's not just about eating it? Is there some special step required? Li Xiuchen, looking puzzled, waited for Han Hu's explanation.

"This antidote needs to be dissolved in a small cup of cool water for half an hour, then drunk in one gulp. Immediately afterwards, circulate your internal energy to absorb the medicinal effects and spread them throughout your body to completely remove the Gu poison from her body," Han Hu explained in detail.

Chapter 1269 Awkward Atmosphere

I see! I never imagined that such a small pill could be so troublesome to take!

"Thank you for letting me know!" Li Xiuchen hadn't expected it to be so troublesome. He was still very grateful to Han Hu for telling him. He couldn't help but think of his anxious behavior just now, and suddenly felt a little helpless.

Han Hu was a sensible man. Knowing that Li Xiuchen was in a hurry to get the medicine for Weiwei to detoxify, he took his leave.

After Han Hu left, Li Xiuchen carefully put the antidote on his person and went out to find Weiwei.

Wen Chong, who had just reconciled with Li Xiuchen, was still thinking about "Li Xiuchen, Li Xiu" even after seeing Li Xiuchen off. He paced back and forth in the room. Suddenly, he remembered that he had just had dinner with Weiwei, and it had ended badly!

Weiwei must be angry with me! I acted like that again! Even though Weiwei likes Li Xiuchen, that doesn't stop me from liking her, and besides, who knows if Li Xiuchen even likes Weiwei back! Right! At worst, it'll be fair competition! Maybe Weiwei will be moved by my sincerity! But what about my behavior at dinner today… will Weiwei be angry with me? Will she have a bad impression of me? Should I go apologize right away? Thinking this, Wen Chong got up and walked out, intending to find Weiwei, apologize to her, and win her back.

Thinking it over, Wen Chong got up and walked out. As he walked, he pondered how to apologize to Weiwei, what to say! Still hesitant, Wen Chong reached a tree not far from Weiwei's door, pondering his next move. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure knocking on Weiwei's door! Who could it be? Looking closer, he recognized him—it was none other than his good friend Li Xiuchen, whom he had just reconciled with! What was he doing here so late? Was he here to steal Weiwei from him? Or did he think Weiwei had told him about his past and was blaming her? Or perhaps Weiwei had arranged to meet him to confess her feelings and say she liked him! Oh no! Weiwei cared so much for him when Li Xiuchen wasn't around! Now that Xiuchen was here, they had time alone together; Weiwei would be overjoyed! Wouldn't that further strengthen their relationship? No, no, then I wouldn't have any chance at all! Li Xiuchen! I, Wen Chong, will compete with you fairly! Weiwei is mine! Only mine! I want Weiwei to be with me willingly!

Wen Chong rushed up after him, put his arm around Li Xiuchen's shoulder, winked at Weiwei, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Hey! Good evening! What are you guys doing? Can I join you?"

Just as Li Xiuchen knocked on Weiwei's door, before he could even greet her, he was interrupted by Wen Chong, who suddenly appeared from behind him. At that moment, Weiwei's mind, heart, and eyes were filled with nothing but Li Xiuchen's image! It was as if he were the only person in the world who could enter her heart. "Knock, knock, knock!" Hearing the knocking, Weiwei reluctantly got up and opened the door, only to find her beloved, whom she had longed for day and night, standing there! Just as she was about to speak to him, Wen Chong suddenly appeared, utterly disappointing! She cursed Wen Chong countless times in her heart! But helplessly, she still invited him in!

Li Xiuchen originally had important matters to discuss with Weiwei, but Wen Chong unexpectedly appeared halfway through, so it seemed he would have to trick Wen Chong into leaving first. It wasn't that he intentionally wanted to hide Weiwei's poisoning from him; he just felt it was better to avoid trouble. After all, Wen Chong was also a member of the Wen family, and Weiwei had been poisoned by the Wen family's Gu poison. Letting Wen Chong know would only damage his relationship with the Wen family, especially since Li Xiuchen knew Wen Chong liked Weiwei!

Weiwei invited the two to sit down and offered them tea. Whether it was because she missed Li Xiuchen too much or because she couldn't control herself, Weiwei kept looking at Li Xiuchen a few more times. As a result, when Weiwei poured the tea, she didn't pay attention and spilled the tea outside the teacup.

"Weiwei, is it because I, Wenchong, am too charming that you can't even pour water properly? Hurry up and wipe yourself!" Wenchong teased Weiwei with a playful smile, but in his heart, he knew that Weiwei hadn't even glanced at him. He simply couldn't stand Weiwei like this; it felt like her world consisted only of her and Li Xiuchen! He felt like an extra person!

Making a fool of oneself in front of the person one loves is embarrassing enough, but Wen Chong's words made one blush even more! The atmosphere was extremely awkward!

"It's alright, I'll wipe it!" Li Xiuchen noticed Weiwei's slight embarrassment and wiped the tea stains off the table with a cloth. He intended to break the awkward atmosphere, but his actions unexpectedly elicited different reactions and thoughts from the two women. In Weiwei's eyes, Li Xiuchen not only eased the awkwardness for her but also showed his warm and caring side, making her face even rosier! However, in Wenchong's eyes, Li Xiuchen's actions were nothing short of a slap in the face! He had teased Weiwei earlier, only to have it backfire! But Li Xiuchen's actions had also taken away his chance to impress Weiwei! At this moment, Wenchong felt somewhat helpless, completely lacking his initial confidence and pride. Wenchong even felt like he was superfluous in the room! He even had a slight urge to escape.

"Um, well... Li Xiuchen, is there something important you need to see Weiwei about? Well, why don't you two talk first, and I'll come back to bother Weiwei tomorrow!" Wen Chong stood up, hoping that Weiwei would ask him to stay, but things didn't go as planned!

"In that case, I won't keep you any longer. It's getting late, so go home and get some rest. Let's have breakfast together tomorrow!" Actually, Weiwei had wanted Wen Chong to leave for a while, but she was just being polite. Her invitation to Wen Chong to have breakfast with her the next day was merely a pretext to have breakfast with Li Xiuchen, but she was afraid Li Xiuchen would refuse, so she brought Wen Chong along as an excuse!

Although Weiwei didn't try to persuade him to stay and chat with them as he had hoped, she invited him to have breakfast with her the next morning. Wen Chong couldn't help but feel a little excited! It seemed that Weiwei had forgiven him for the unpleasant incident at lunch today!

Chapter 1270 Helping Weiwei Detoxify

When Wen Chong announced his departure, Li Xiuchen felt a wave of relief. She had been plotting to trick him into leaving, but he hadn't expected him to say he wanted to go himself. Since that was the case, it suited his wishes. This way, he could help Weiwei get rid of the poison as soon as possible, thus putting a major concern on his mind.

After seeing Wen Chong off, Weiwei turned to look at Li Xiuchen. Good heavens! Wasn't this the man she'd been longing for day and night?! Why had he come to see her so late? Did he miss her? Oh dear! What's wrong with me? How could I think like this! Right! When Wen Chong said he was leaving, I could clearly feel Li Xiuchen's aura instantly relax! Why was that? Could it be that Li Xiuchen wanted to tell me something private that Wen Chong couldn't hear?

At this moment, Li Xiuchen instantly relaxed after Wen Chong left. But another troublesome problem arose: how to tell Weiwei that she had been tricked by the Wen family and afflicted with a very serious Gu poison? Just as he was lost in thought, trying to figure out how to tell Weiwei, she interrupted him.

"Xiuchen, where did you go? Why did you leave without saying goodbye? It was quite worrying!" Weiwei asked Li Xiuchen with her big eyes full of doubt.

"Ah? Oh, it's nothing, just went to an old friend's to pick up something." Li Xiuchen was incredibly conflicted. How should he tell Weiwei? Oh well, might as well try anything; what's meant to happen will happen eventually. Li Xiuchen took a deep breath and made up his mind to tell Weiwei about the Gu poison she had been poisoned by.

What's wrong with Li Xiuchen today? He seems hesitant and stammering; something's not right! Could something have happened? Could it be related to me? What's wrong with him? Weiwei felt extremely uneasy, wanting to ask but not daring to.

"Um, Weiwei, there's something I actually want to tell you, but I don't know how to bring it up!" Li Xiuchen said somewhat awkwardly, not daring to look Weiwei in the eye.

What's wrong with Xiu Chen today? Why is he in such a difficult position? Li Xiu Chen's behavior made Weiwei's heart pound: "It's okay, Xiu Chen, just tell me, you're scaring me!"

"Weiwei, have you felt unwell or anything since you saved me?"

"Hmm, no! I feel fine! Everything is normal!" It's just that I like you more and more, and love you more and more. Don't you, Li Xiuchen, understand Weiwei's feelings?

"That's good! That's good!" Li Xiuchen said incessantly.

"Xiuchen, just say what you want to say! Has something serious happened?" The more Li Xiuchen acted like this, the more uncomfortable and uneasy Weiwei felt.

"Don't worry, it's just... it's just that you've been poisoned by some kind of Gu poison!" Li Xiuchen gritted his teeth and said with determination.

"What! Me? I'm poisoned? Is there a mistake? How could I be poisoned? It's impossible! I'm perfectly fine! Everything is perfectly normal! What happened? Xiu Chen, tell me!" Weiwei asked Li Xiu Chen with a face full of doubt and anxiety.

"Weiwei, don't worry, let me explain slowly! The poison in your body won't take effect before you turn 18; it will only activate on your 18th birthday..."

"What! It will flare up on my eighteenth birthday! That's this year! Xiu Chen, what should I do? Will I die?! Huh? Xiu Chen!" Weiwei looked at Li Xiu Chen with a pitiful expression and a face full of anxiety!

"Weiwei! Weiwei! Don't be afraid! Don't panic! There's a way, of course there's a way, I have the antidote!" Li Xiuchen quickly comforted Weiwei, telling her that there was an antidote to calm her anxious and panicked state of mind.

As Li Xiuchen spoke, he took out the small pink pill from his person. The room was instantly filled with a pleasant fragrance as he pulled it out. Weiwei's mood gradually calmed down upon seeing the antidote. Li Xiuchen pulled Weiwei to a seat and slowly explained to her how to take the medicine: "First, we need to find a small teacup, put a small cup of tea in it, and then put this pill in the water. After it dissolves in half an hour, you can take it. But that's not all. When you take it, you also need to circulate your internal energy to allow the medicine to be fully absorbed into your body so that the Gu poison in your body can be completely eliminated."

"Oh my god! The Gu poison in my body is so hard to cure! Thank goodness for you, Xiu Chen! Without you, I might not be able to enjoy the wonderful life ahead. Thank you, Xiu Chen!" Weiwei was extremely grateful to Li Xiu Chen. Now, she was even more captivated by Li Xiu Chen's personal charm!

"Weiwei, you can't say that. After all, you risked your life to save me before; if it weren't for you, I might not be able to see the sun today!" Li Xiu teased Weiwei to help her relax.

Vivi gave a sweet yet shy smile.

"Weiwei, let's get started!" Li Xiuchen urged, eager to find a cure for Weiwei's poison.

“Okay!” Vivi replied cooperatively.

So they began the simple yet complex steps. Under Li Xiuchen's guidance, Weiwei took the antidote. Then she began to circulate her internal spiritual energy. After taking the antidote, Weiwei's complexion was rosy, and her breathing was steady. She closed her eyes and meditated, activating all her spiritual energy to circulate the antidote throughout her body.

After taking the antidote, Weiwei immediately felt relaxed and light-hearted; a clear and wonderful feeling permeated her entire body.

Li Xiuchen stayed by Weiwei's side, assisting her by channeling spiritual energy and constantly monitoring her for any changes, fearing something might happen during the absorption of the antidote. Li Xiuchen's heartwarming actions would likely touch any girl, let alone Weiwei, who was already in love with him.

After Weiwei was completely cured of the Gu poison, Li Xiuchen bid her farewell as it was getting late.

Chapter 1271 Before Chaos Was Created

After Li Xiuyuan cured Weiwei of the poison, he watched her leave and felt a lot of emotions.

Weiwei saved him, how could he not know her feelings? However, he came here with the Holy Buddha System, experienced many worlds, and came into contact with such a complex world and people. He has met all kinds of women, and his heart is as still as water. He is no longer the Li Xiuyuan before he transmigrated.

The reason he's curing Weiwei's poison now is because she saved him before, and he's trying his best to heal her in order to settle this karmic debt. It's not because he has feelings for her. As for Weiwei's feelings for him, he can only apologize to her in his heart. After all, he's just a passerby in this world, like a floating duckweed, a bird without feet, with nowhere to rest.

A sense of exhaustion welled up from the depths of Li Xiuyuan's heart. Having experienced so much, he had acquired too many and too varied cultivation techniques. He was like a large dye vat filled with paint, having long lost his original intention. In recent days, he felt that the meridians in his body were in complete chaos, and he was afraid that if this continued, he might suffer a qi deviation.

"It's time to return to our true selves and wash away the superficialities."

Li Xiuyuan let out a long sigh, secretly making up his mind. This couldn't go on. He had to find a way to reset all the complex techniques in his body and start over. Only by returning to his true self and becoming his original self could he comprehend his true self and attain enlightenment.

"Then how can I start cultivating again and get rid of this cultivation?"

Li Xiuyuan rubbed his forehead and pondered deeply. He had come to this world because of the Holy Buddha System, so the Holy Buddha System must have a way to help him start cultivating again. Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan silently summoned in his heart: "Holy Buddha System".

"exist."

The system's cold and ruthless voice rang in Li Xiuyuan's mind. No matter how much time had passed, the Holy Buddha System was still just a system, and it remained devoid of any human touch, mechanically responding to Li Xiuyuan's call.

"Could you reset my cultivation level to zero?"

Li Xiuyuan had made up his mind. A relieved smile appeared on his resolute face as he asked calmly.

"Does Master mean he wants to reset his cultivation level?"

The cold voice of the system sounded again.

"Yes."

Li Xiuyuan said it decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
