Chapter 36: Heart Eater Gu

Chen Yu was confused and at a loss at this time. There was a little fear in my heart, a little remorse, and more of a dazedness. Although he tried his best to delay until now, he still couldn't come up with a way to get out, and he was completely panicked.

He is still too young to deal with an old man like Hai Lao, and the two are not on the same level at all. Hai Lao's eyes have been staring at him without blinking since he finished roaring. In addition, he was flustered at the moment, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he pretended to be calm, and the small means of his expression remained unchanged were still discovered by Hai Lao, and he completely exposed his stuffing in front of Hai Lao.

Hai Lao stared at Chen Yu with a smile, very satisfied with the huge pressure he had caused to Chen Yu. He has always believed that only when Chen Yu is uneasy can he let the other party confide in the truth and let him handle it.

"Do you think I've been deliberately slacking off and unwilling to do my best?" Chen Yu was completely stunned by Hai Lao's laughter, he breathed a long sigh of relief and tried his best to stabilize his mind.

"Boy, what do you say? You haven't broken through to the fourth layer for more than a year, do you really think I can't see your careful thoughts? The first three layers, you have already practiced in less than half a year, but when you reach this last step, you have not moved for a year. Even if it is difficult to break through the third layer, without the assistance of medicine, you will not make no progress in a year!" Hai Lao's tone was cold, and his voice became sharp as he said that his two eyebrows were upside down at the end. It seems that he has long been dissatisfied with Chen Yu, and he has endured it until now before it completely broke out.

"It seems that no matter what I say, Hai Lao will not believe it, and he will not want to listen to it anymore. Chen Yu secretly smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that his careful thinking about concealing his progress was the main reason for his current embarrassing situation. He really lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot. But he doesn't regret it, he just doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to turn his face with Hai Lao in advance and uncover the mystery of all this.

"Well, indeed, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, and you don't need to say anything more. Whatever you've done before, listen to me. Now I only want to ask you one sentence: Give you half a year, can you break through to the fourth layer?" Hai Lao snorted coldly, and slowly said the most important sentence of the day and the one he cared about the most. Then he stared at Chen Yu without blinking, waiting for Chen Yu's answer.

Chen Yu gradually calmed down at this moment, and his thoughts turned sharply. He knew very well that the answer to this question was not only related to Hai Lao's life after a year, but also the key to whether he could continue his journey to another world. If he dared to say half a word, he had no doubt that the other party would never let him walk out of the room alive today.

"I think you know very well in your own heart that I can't give you a definite answer. Come on, let's unravel my acupuncture first. Chen Yu's tone changed, and the whole person relaxed. He thought very clearly, since the other party had a request for him, at least he had the conditions for negotiation, so his tone became a little presumptuous and frivolous.

When Hai Lao heard Chen Yu's answer, his expression softened, and he couldn't help but have a hint of approval for Chen Yu in his eyes. But he was still lying on the Taishi chair, and did not unlock the acupoint for Chen Yu, but carefully took out a square delicate jade box from his arms.

"Boy, I don't feel at ease. If you keep promising me that as soon as you go out, you will immediately change your mind and run away, or you deliberately continue to delay and refuse to cultivate well, then what is the difference between me and before, I can only wait for death. For the sake of your life and mine, I don't think you would object to me adding a layer of insurance. The corners of Hai Lao's mouth showed a sinister smile, and he said with some ill intentions.

He carefully opened the jade box, only to see a small lilac pill lying quietly in the center of the jade box. Even though Chen Yu was full of medical books, he couldn't remember the name of the pill.

Hai Lao got up and walked slowly in front of Chen Yu. Chen Yu secretly scolded the old fox, walking so slowly, but it is difficult for ordinary people to move one-tenth of it. Hai Lao stopped in front of Chen Yu, his arm swinged, Chen Yu only felt relieved, and before he could move, Hai Lao handed the jade box containing the pill to his eyes.

"I don't need to say anything more, I think you're a smart guy and you should know how to do it. Hai Lao narrowed his eyes, and said kindly.

Chen Yu moved his hands and feet, which were a little numb, and reached out to take the jade box in Hai Lao's hand, without saying a word. He gently pinched the pill in the jade box, and swallowed the pill into his stomach without looking at it in front of Hai Lao.

"Boy, have the courage. As the saying goes, those who know the times are handsome, as long as you do your best to help me return to normal, your benefits are indispensable. I don't blame you, now you and I can't do it, but I guarantee that it will be easy for you to be prosperous and rich in your life. Hai Lao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, quite satisfied with Chen Yu's performance. In order to worry that Chen Yu was not active enough, he promised a heavy reward.

"I wonder if you have forgotten something, Hai Lao, now should I tell me what the pill is just now, lest I accidentally commit a big taboo and lose my life. I, Chen Yu, have a cheap life, but when the time comes, your old man will ....." Chen Yu was not moved by Hai Lao's promise at all, but he was held by the other party for so long, and he was a little bachelor when he spoke, and he wanted to be a little cheap in his words.

"Hehe, this pill is called 'Heart Devouring Gu', it stands to reason that he is not a medicine, but a Gu worm egg produced in the land of the Southern Barbarians and brewed with a secret method. After eating, it can lie dormant in the body for a year. You can rest assured that you will be completely safe for a year, and it will not affect you from doing anything. As long as the antidote is taken within a year, it will disappear on its own, leaving no hidden dangers. But if there is no antidote after a year, hehe, then the eggs will break out of the shell, first eat your internal organs, make you suffer for a few days and nights, and then slowly eat your heart, let you suffer from heart-devouring, and slowly die. Hai Lao viciously said the horror of the pill, and while warning Chen Yu, it could be regarded as a tribute to Chen Yu.

After Chen Yu heard the viciousness of the pill, his body trembled slightly. His face gradually turned pale and became extremely ugly. He struggled to hold back the almost uncontrollable anger within him.

"By the way, I heard that you also have a good big brother named Han Qing in the door, right? I heard that there is also a missing female disciple named Han Yu. I don't know if they're doing well, but I care about them very much. But what does Han Yuan Xinggui think about being the marshal of a country....." Hai Lao slowly turned around and walked towards the Taishi chair, and said in a serious voice.

Chen Yu's face turned from white to iron, and the anger in his heart had completely overwhelmed him, but only the remaining reason told him that the fangs of Hai Lao, the old fox, were truly exposed.

He bit his lip and tried to sober himself up, for fear that he would do something unwise or give up his dignity and beg the other party. He can ignore himself, but he can't trap Han Qing in danger.
