The reason for Gu's immortality must be due to his special blood, and it must be related to the various poisons and medicines he had taken in his mother's womb.
Han Yunxi gave Gu Qishao the list of ingredients Gu Beiyue had gotten from Gu Yuntian and said seriously, "Look through it carefully and see if this list is complete. It's very important to figure out your body's constitution." "Oh," Gu Qishao docilely accepted it.
"Long Fei Ye, have Xu Donglin send a letter to the Tang Sect later and have Ling 'er come over to help," Han Yunxi said seriously.
Mu Ling 'er was a pharmaceutical genius, so it was best to have her help. Although Gu's pharmaceutical skills weren't inferior to Mu Ling 'er's, one more person meant one more helping hand. Perhaps Mu Ling' er would discover something that Gu didn't.
Gu's lips twitched as he chuckled. "Don't scare that girl, okay? She'll cry. "
Han Yunxi finally realized that Mu Ling 'er didn't know about Gu's immortality. She hesitated. After all, this was Gu's private matter. Even if she was doing it for his own good, she had no right to publicize it for him.
After a long moment of hesitation, Han Yunxi said, "You decide for yourself."
"Seventh Young Master, let's study this medicine list first. If we can't figure it out, then you can consider whether to invite Miss Ling 'er over. What do you think? "Gu Beiyue asked seriously.
"It's done, it's done, whatever you say," Gu Qishao said indifferently.
Han Yunxi looked at the blood-colored seed and was about to speak when Gu Beiyue brought over a flower pot.
"Princess, we can't experiment on Seventh Young Master's body, but we can experiment on the seed and blood vines." Gu Beiyue said seriously, "The Blood Vines are planted in the soil, in the flesh of ordinary people and animals. They can be controlled by Seventh Young Master, but they are not immortal and immune to all poisons. But if it was planted in Seventh Young Master's flesh, it could also be controlled, just like Seventh Young Master. There are many things worth pondering. "
Han Yunxi was secretly impressed. Gu Beiyue was indeed the best doctor in the world.
She said seriously, "I once saw a cruel medical experiment in a book. They extracted the essence from the five elements, implanted it into the human body, and used it to grow. Over time, it would become one with the human body."
As soon as he said this, Gu Beiyue's gentle eyes immediately lit up. Gu's gaze also became complicated. Only Long Fei Ye frowned, not understanding.
He was a complete layman when it came to medicine and poison, and he had no intention of learning them.
He leaned against the high platform at the side and listened to them while sizing up Gu's hand. He clearly noticed that Gu's left hand, which was hanging by his side, hadn't moved since just now. It seemed to be a little stiff.
Of course, he only saw this in his eyes and had no intention of saying it out loud.
"Let me give you an example. Of the five elements, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, let's take metal as an example. If we can extract the essence of metal from metal and implant it into the human body, the human flesh and blood will become one. The human body will become as hard as metal and not easily damaged. If we can extract the essence of water from water and implant it into the human body, the human body will become as flexible as water and can even liquefy and flow. "
After Han Yunxi said this, whether it was Gu Beiyue, Gu, or the layman Long Fei Ye, they all looked at her in disbelief.
Han Yunxi was helpless and hurriedly explained, "This is just a medical experiment idea I've seen before. It's just an idea. At least from what I know, this experiment hasn't been realized. However, we can't rule out the possibility of this experiment succeeding once it's done. "
"Princess, you mean … Seventh Young Master accidentally ate the essence of plants when he was taking medicine all year round. Therefore, it's very likely that his blood shadow contains the essence of plants and can nourish the thorny vines? And Seventh Young Master's body is affected by the essence of plants. He's both a human body and a plant body. It's not strange that he can control the thorny vines that were nourished with his essence blood, "Gu Beiyue muttered.
The moment he said this, Gu immediately looked down at his body and laughed. "Haha, so I'm really not human!"
Everyone looked at Gu sternly. His joke wasn't funny at all!
"If that's the case, how do you explain immortality and immunity to poison?" Long Fei Ye also spoke up.
Han Yunxi frowned and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, she looked up at everyone and exclaimed, "It's very likely that Seventh Young Master isn't immortal and indestructible. Instead, he has an extremely high recovery ability, so he won't die from injuries. Previously in the maze, I detected poison in his body. This means that poison can still remain in his body, but it's ineffective against him. His body should be immune to it! "
"Recovery ability and immunity … could it be the plant essence in his blood that gave them to him?" Gu Beiyue muttered.
"Then how do you explain immortality?" Gu couldn't help but ask.
"Seventh Young Master, many animals and plants have a longer growth cycle than humans, and their lifespans are also longer than humans. Among plants, there are trees that grow on the ground and ginseng that are buried underground. Among animals, there are turtles, fish, snakes, and many other species that we don't know about. They can all live longer than humans, ranging from hundreds to thousands of years, "Han Yunxi said seriously.
"So it's not that he doesn't age, but that he ages slowly …"
Long Fei Ye sized up Gu thoughtfully. Gu laughed out loud. "Poison Lass, that makes sense!"
"If this hypothesis is true, then the thorny vines that you used your blood to nurture wouldn't have enough plant essence without the nourishment of his blood. That's why they could only be controlled by you and not be immortal and indestructible like you. Meanwhile, the thorny vines in your body are constantly sucking up the essence of the plants in your blood. Just like your body, they're undying and impervious to all poisons, "Han Yunxi explained.
"Princess, if that's the case. Then what will happen to Seventh Young Master when all the plant essence in Gu's body is absorbed? "Gu Beiyue hurriedly asked.
Han Yunxi naturally couldn't answer this question. Everything she said today was just a guess. The cruel experiment she heard about in the modern era was also just an illusion.
She shook her head. "Everything is just a guess."
"Princess, what if we follow Gu Yuntian's prescription and experiment with rats?" Gu Beiyue asked seriously.
"It's a way!" Han Yunxi was very certain.
Perhaps they could find a way to let Seventh Young Master return to normal, or perhaps they could only figure out why Seventh Young Master's constitution had become like this. No matter what the result was, it was better than knowing nothing about Seventh Young Master's constitution.
Gu Beiyue looked at the medicine list and said seriously, "I'll go prepare the medicine now!"
At this moment, Long Fei Ye spoke up. "In that case, is the principle behind nurturing Poison Gu humans similar to the plant essence that you guys mentioned? Back then, the snow wolves fed on poisonous plants. Does the plant essence exist in those poisonous plants? What's the secret behind the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion being able to neutralize the poison of Poison Gu humans? "
Long Fei Ye's words reminded everyone that although Bai Yanqing and Gu's constitutions weren't exactly the same, there were still some similarities.
Everyone seemed to be deep in thought as they remained silent.
Back then, they'd seen records of the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion in the Poison Sect's altar and learned the reason why the snow wolves were undying and indestructible.
The Snow Wolf's indestructible physique wasn't born with it. Instead, it became an indestructible physique after eating the poisonous grass in the sinkhole. Later, when the Poison Sect members saw that the snow wolves were undying, they began to search for the reason behind it. They discovered a large patch of withered poisonous plants in the Sky Pit without any fruits. Those fruits were the poisonous fruits that the snow wolves had eaten.
There were a total of forty-nine types of poisonous plants in the Sky Pit, and the ten stalks of poisonous plants planted in the glazed walls of the altar were among those forty-nine types.
The Poison Sect's members collected the forty-nine dead poisonous herbs and refined them into toxins. They also studied them together with the ten living poisonous herbs in the Colored Glass Wall in an attempt to create a medicine that could make a person immortal and indestructible. In order to confuse everyone, they named it the Poison Gu Man so that people would think it was a nurtured constitution. In truth, an undying constitution didn't need nurturing at all. All they needed to do was take a medicine called the Undying Poison Pill.
As for the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion, it was made from the remains of the forty-nine types of poisonous herbs, crushed and mixed with the Ten Thousand Year Corpse Water. It took three years to make. The Perplexing Butterfly Illusion combined with the Poison of the Five Elements and Ten Thousand Poisons could neutralize the effects of the poison pill.
From start to finish, the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and the Poison Gu Man were just a cover.
It was said that the one with the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion could rule the world because it could restrain the Poison Gu Man. The real saying was that the one with the undying Poison Gu Man would rule the world.
If the Poison Sect could concoct countless Undying Poison Pills and nurture countless undying beings, then it would be easy for them to take over Cloud Realm Continent.
Recalling the records on the altar, Han Yunxi pondered over Gu's constitution and murmured, "There's only one difference between Bai Yanqing and Seventh Young Master's constitutions. Bai Yanqing will age, but Seventh Young Master won't. Bai Yanqing's growth cycle is the same as a normal person's, but Seventh Young Master's is a bit longer. Could it be … "
Gu Beiyue said anxiously, "Could it be that the poisonous fruits Snow Wolf ate all those years ago contained plant essence, and the medicinal herbs Seventh Young Master ate in his mother's womb contained plant essence as well? It's just that the two kinds of plant essence are different! If the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion can neutralize Bai Yanqing's undying body, does that mean there's something that can neutralize Seventh Young Master's as well? "Long Fei Ye asked seriously.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other. While they rejoiced that they hadn't used the nine poisonous teardrops on Bai Yanqing, they were also worried that Han Chen would use them up instead!
"I still have some Perplexing Butterfly Illusion left. We have to get the nine poisonous teardrops back. There must be something we can figure out from them! "Han Yunxi said seriously.
"That's right! Princess, we have to get Bai Yanqing back as well! We can use him to verify the plant essence. If our hypothesis is correct, we might be able to find a way to save Seventh Young Master! "Gu Beiyue said seriously.
Han Yunxi made a prompt decision. "Long Fei Ye, let's go to the underground palace right now!"
"Senior Han Chen might not hand over the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and Bai Yanqing to us," Gu Beiyue said worriedly.
"Let's go and have a chat. At worst …" Han Yunxi narrowed her eyes. "I'll threaten him! I don't think many people on the Mysterious Continent know about the Wolf Sect's background! "
