Only then did Mr. He turn his gaze towards Chu Yunxi. Chu Yunxi bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. He."

He Lao didn't waste any words. He walked directly to Chu Yunxi, asked her to lower her head, lifted her hair, looked at the back of her neck carefully, and said, "You have been poisoned for nearly ten days, right?"

Chu Yunxi said: "That's right, how did Mr. He see that?"

Old He snorted, "I have been playing with Gu all my life. If I can't even figure this out, then I have lived in vain. Come in with me."

Chu Yunxi glanced at Xiao Mubei, who smiled encouragingly at her, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Chu Yunxi nodded and looked at Chu Zhongxi again. Chu Zhongxi patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Mr. He is very powerful."

Chu Yunxi took a deep breath and walked into the house. She saw that it was completely different from an ordinary home. There was only a bed and a chair. However, in the corner of the house, there were transparent boxes one by one. There was a small insect wriggling in each of them, which gave Chu Yunxi goose bumps.

Mr. He asked Chu Yunxi to sit in the middle of the room. He selected four boxes from the densely packed boxes and placed them in the four corners of the room. Then he took out a pot of wine, poured it around each box, and opened the four boxes.

I saw all the poisonous insects inside crawling out, but as soon as they crawled to the side of the wine, they immediately retreated, which was equivalent to being trapped in a circle.

After doing all this, He Lao walked towards Chu Yunxi with a sharp dagger in his hand, and stopped in front of her, "Stretch out your hand."

Chu Yunxi obediently stretched out her hand, and Elder He cut a knife on the tip of her index finger. Blood immediately gushed out. Elder He said, "Put your hand down, don't move."

Chu Yunxi lowered her hands as she was told, and blood dripped onto the ground. Old He picked up the dagger, cut his own fingertips, and dripped a drop of blood into each of the circles of poisonous insects in the four corners.

The four poisonous insects became visibly excited and circled around the drop of blood. Chu Yunxi felt something move behind her neck, but she dared not move. Slowly, she saw a slight crawling under the skin of her arm. She held back her nausea and watched the living thing under her skin crawling down, crawling over her arm, the back of her hand, and her fingers, and finally falling off the wound with a "pop", and then crawling towards the poisonous insect in the corner in the front right.

Chu Yunxi was sweating profusely from nervousness. Only until the poisonous insect left her body did she dare to gently exhale the breath she had been holding for a long time. She still didn't dare to move her fingers.

"It turned out to be a heart-eating insect."

He Lao sneered, took out the transparent box he had prepared long ago, and placed it in front of the Gu worm. The Gu worm was fooled and crawled directly in. He Lao closed the lid and put it aside. He also collected the four Gu in the four corners, and then said to Chu Yunxi: "Okay, you are fine now."

Chu Yunxi took out an alcohol cotton ball and pressed it against the wound, saying, "Thank you, Mr. He. May I ask, Mr. He, what is the Heart-Erosion Gu?"

"It's the Gu that corrodes the heart. When it attacks, do you feel severe pain in your chest?"

"That's right. Mr. He just used four Gu to attract this Heart-Eroding Gu. But because he didn't know what kind of Gu it was, he used four different Gu?"

Chu Yunxi guessed that the four Gu she had just observed did not look the same and should not be the same species.

Old He glanced at Chu Yunxi calmly and said, "Girl, you are quite smart. Do you know that those four are not ordinary Gu, but the Gu Kings of each type of Gu?"

"Gu King?" Chu Yunxi was shocked. For an ordinary person, it was already amazing to cultivate a Gu King. She didn't expect that Mr. He could cultivate four at once. It was really amazing.

"I have spent my entire life studying Gu. These four Gu Kings have consumed almost all of my life's efforts. They can solve almost all Gu techniques in the world. It's a pity that there is no one to succeed me."

He Lao sighed and said to Chu Yunxi, "You can go now."

Chu Yunxi's mind moved, and she asked, "Master He, why don't you accept a disciple?"

"Raising Gu is very time-consuming, and many people are intimidated by the sight of these Gu, and don't even dare to get close to them, so how can they raise them?"

Indeed, even Chu Yunxi felt sick when she saw these little bugs. How many people could afford to sleep with poisonous insects every day like Mr. He did?

Chu Yunxi left the room. Xiao Mubei was pacing anxiously outside. When he saw Chu Yunxi coming out, he rushed over, held Chu Yunxi's shoulders and asked, "How is it? Is the poison gone?"

Chu Yunxi smiled and nodded, and Xiao Mubei breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy stone had finally fallen from his heart. Seeing Mr. He following Chu Yunxi out, he hurried forward to thank him.

He Lao waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me. If Zhong Xi hadn't led his troops to rescue me from Nan Di, I would have died long ago, and I would not be able to save you today. So, everything is destined by heaven. If you want to thank someone, thank your second brother."

Everything goes according to the law of nature. Chu Yunxi had a deeper understanding of this sentence. It is never wrong to do good things. If it were not for Chu Zhongxi's kindness, the detoxification would not have been so smooth today.

"Thank you, second brother."

Chu Yunxi held Chu Zhongxi's arm, and Chu Zhongxi scratched her nose, "Don't go into danger alone again in the future."

"Got it." Chu Yunxi wrinkled her nose, thought for a moment, took out a box of medicine from her bosom, handed it to Elder He, and said, "This is a special medicine for treating leg atrophy. This is a three-month supply. If you take the medicine on time, after three months, Elder He should be able to throw away his crutches and walk without any problems."

Mr. He took the medicine with doubt, "Really?"

Chu Zhongxi smiled and said, "Mr. He, my little sister is a well-known doctor in the capital. Her medicine is worth a fortune."

"Really? In that case, thank you very much, young lady." Mr. He was also very happy. His legs would hurt whenever it was cloudy or rainy, and it was difficult for him to walk normally, so he used crutches, but there was no way to relieve the pain.

Chu Yunxi explained the usage and dosage in detail, then pulled He Lao aside and whispered, "He Lao, if my trip goes smoothly and I complete what I need to do, can I come to you and learn how to raise Gu?"

She had just thought about it and realized that her medical skills were okay, but she knew nothing about witchcraft. If she encountered someone who died from poisoning in the future, unless the person was like Empress Xian, who had turned into bones, it would be hard to tell that it was a poison. A normal autopsy might not be able to find it out. Then, what could she do as a coroner?

Although Gu is disgusting, Chu Yunxi feels that she should be able to overcome this problem.

Mr. He looked at her in surprise, "You want to learn?"

Chu Yunxi nodded and said firmly: "I want to learn."

Mr. He was extremely happy. "Well, I will stay in Jumu Village and wait for you to come and learn."
