"Bursting out of the body?" Qin Xuan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. With a hint of anger, his voice gradually turned cold, "Doesn't that mean my sister's life is over?"
Miao Shi felt the surrounding temperature plummet and shivered in fear. He quickly explained, "No, no! As long as it's resolved within five days, the Soul Devouring Gu worm will sense the return of life and won't burst out of the body. Moreover, five days is more than enough time to reach the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Once we get the Spring of Nature, everything will be fine."
Hearing this, Qin Xuan's expression returned to normal.
"Are you sure you're fine?" Although Qin Xuan knew he wouldn't dare lie, as his life was in Qin Xuan's hands, he still asked again.
Miao Shi raised three fingers and swore solemnly, "I swear on my honor, I'm fine! The Turtle Breath Gu is just a very weak Gu and doesn't cause any harm to the human body!"
"If the Soul Devouring Gu senses that its host has lost vital energy, it will digest and absorb the vital blood within the host's body for five days, so there won't be any commotion."
After finishing, seeing that Qin Xuan had no further questions, Miao Shi spoke again, "Then... when should I place the Gu on your sister?"
Qin Xuan glared at him coldly and said, "No need. For turtle breath, my method is far more effective than your trash Gu worms."
"..."
Compared to the Turtle Breath Gu, the method in Qin Xuan's mind was far more practical. For martial artists, turtle breath was merely a flick of a finger, unlike witch doctors who had to place Gu and control them, a process that was extremely complicated. This was the reason for the gap between martial artists and witch doctors. While you were still controlling Gu worms to prepare to place the Gu, a martial artist would unleash their internal energy and deliver a punch. How could you fight against that?
Above Jiangbei City, a private jet flew towards the outskirts. Inside the plane, apart from the pilot, were Qin Xuan, Miao Shi, and Qin Lin, who was lying on a temporary bed. Leng Xi was supposed to come along too, but Qin Xuan refused. Although the Black Tiger Gang and Li Shengtian were dealt with, Jin Gong remained. So, Leng Xi was asked to stay in Jiangbei to continue protecting Tantai Yue.
Miao Shi looked at the luxurious interior of the plane, his heart filled with envy. It was truly good to be rich; one didn't have to take the bus when traveling, but could directly fly a plane. It seemed he would have to scam more foolish rich second-generation heirs like Tang Ze in the future, striving to get the Miao Gu tribe a few planes as well, so they wouldn't have to walk when going out.
Speaking of the plane, Qin Xuan had to thank Wang Yuyan. Knowing Qin Xuan was going on a long trip, she directly offered her private jet to take him. This made Qin Xuan feel quite embarrassed, but because Qin Lin's safety was at stake, Qin Xuan didn't refuse. As for Qin Lin, Qin Xuan didn't have Miao Shi place the Turtle Breath Gu on her. Instead, he personally used his internal energy to temporarily put Qin Lin into a state of turtle breath. When the internal energy was dispersed, Qin Lin would wake up, which was much more convenient than the so-called Turtle Breath Gu that Miao Shi spoke of.
Although it was a plane, the journey of thousands of miles to the Hundred Thousand Mountains still took four to five hours to reach a suburban airport outside the mountains. Qin Xuan, carrying Qin Lin on his back, alighted from the plane with Miao Shi. The pilot waved to Qin Xuan, "Master Qin, after you finish your business, call me. I'll be waiting here for you."
"Thanks," Qin Xuan nodded. Then, he and Miao Shi flagged down an old-fashioned three-wheeled vehicle. The Hundred Thousand Mountains had no roads, so the three-wheeled vehicle driver took the three of them to the end of the road and then returned. Miao Shi pointed to the distance and said, "This is the entrance to the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
Qin Xuan looked in the direction Miao Shi pointed. It was a vast expanse of lush forest, with each tree being much thicker than ordinary trees.
"Let's go. There's still a long way to go. It's noon now, and we'll likely have to walk until midnight." Qin Xuan nodded, glanced at Qin Lin on his back, and then followed Miao Shi into the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
