Han Yunxi and the others built a large iron cage and locked it in an underground secret room. The iron cage fit perfectly into the walls of the secret room.
This kind of cage naturally couldn't hold an immortal old man like Bai Yanqing for long, but it could hold him for the time being. It was only after Bai Yanqing was released that everyone found out how badly Bai Yanqing had been tortured by Han Chen and Su Xiaoyu.
At this moment, Han Yunxi and the others were standing outside the cage, looking at the unconscious Bai Yanqing. According to Su Xiaoyu, Bai Yanqing had been tortured until he fainted.
Although they didn't know what had been discovered by the bloodstains on Bai Yanqing's crotch, everyone knew that Bai Yanqing was basically crippled.
Gu squatted beside him and lifted his chin. Just as Su Xiaoyu had said, not a single tooth was left.
Gu turned to look at everyone and asked, "How long will it take for his teeth to grow back?"
"With his recovery speed, I don't think it'll take too long." Han Yunxi supported her waist with one hand and stroked her belly with the other. The smell of pregnancy was getting stronger and stronger.
"Princess, there's only one set of nine poisonous teardrops. It's best to use it with caution. Let's take his blood first to grow the thorny vine seeds. What do you think? "Gu Beiyue asked.
"That's a good idea!" Han Yunxi said seriously.
Gu Beiyue hurriedly brought over a few small porcelain bottles for Gu to collect blood from.
Gu stayed in the dungeon to keep watch while Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue seized the time to do their experiments. As for Long Fei Ye, he didn't have time to watch the show. He had a pile of things to take care of.
When Baili Yuanlong found out that Bai Yanqing's matter had been resolved, he immediately urged him to return to the army. Indeed, he couldn't delay any longer. However, he burned Baili Yuanlong's letter immediately after reading it. He didn't even want to let Han Yunxi know.
After all, Gu Beiyue couldn't recognize poison, and Gu had to guard Bai Yanqing. Without Han Yunxi's help, Gu Beiyue would be in trouble.
No matter what, they had to wait until they figured out Bai Yanqing and the nine poisonous teardrops before leaving.
A few days later, Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue followed Gu's instructions and used Bai Yanqing's blood to grow the thorny vine's seed into the blood vine's seed.
The Thorny Vine was a plant that fed on the bones of animals. Once it absorbed enough of the essence of the flesh, it would germinate and grow very, very long within two hours. The blood vine, on the other hand, was obtained from Gu's own blood and could grow instantly.
In order to distinguish them, Han Yunxi named the seed grown from Seventh Young Master's blood Sevenblood Vine and the seed grown from Bai Yanqing's blood Whiteblood Vine.
After the Whiteblood Vine's seed was grown, they planted it in the soil and into the flesh of animals. They found that the Whiteblood Vine was just like the Sevenblood Vine and could grow instantly. The only difference was that the Whiteblood Vine was highly toxic!
This result made Han Yunxi and the others more and more convinced that their hypothesis of "plant essence" was correct.
They took advantage of the fact that Bai Yanqing was still unconscious to conduct experiments in the prison. If the Whiteblood Vine's seed in Bai Yanqing's flesh could become undying and impervious to all poisons, just like the Sevenblood Vine in Gu's body. This meant that Gu's constitution was very similar to Bai Yanqing's. Perhaps the method to neutralize the Poison Gu Man could also neutralize the Seventh Young Master's undying body.
Gu personally took the seed and planted it into Bai Yanqing's wrist.
Han Yunxi, Long Fei Ye, and Gu Beiyue stood outside the prison and watched in silence.
What would the result be?
Gu Qishao should've been the most nervous one, but he was completely carefree. He only chuckled before planting the seed into the ground.
Han Yunxi and the others all stared at Bai Yanqing's wrist. Who would've thought that after staring for a long time, Bai Yanqing's wrist didn't move at all?
"How can this be?" Han Yunxi was very surprised.
The Whiteblood Vine's seed would germinate immediately after being planted in the soil or the flesh of animals. Bai Yanqing's hand shouldn't have been so silent!
"This … why?" Gu Beiyue was also shocked.
Who would've thought that Gu would laugh out loud and reveal the seed hidden in his palm. "Because I haven't planted it yet!"
"Gu!" Han Yunxi was so angry that she wanted to give him a kick.
Gu Beiyue, on the other hand, had a good temper. He smiled and shook his head helplessly.
"Poison lass, don't be so nervous. At most, I'll age a little slower and marry your daughter when the time comes! "Gu said with a chuckle.
"Don't even think about it!"
"You're courting death!"
It was obvious that the first sentence was said by Han Yunxi and the second by Long Fei Ye.
Gu wanted to retort, but Gu Beiyue stopped him. "Seventh Young Master, stop fooling around. Hurry up and plant it. It'll be troublesome if Bai Yanqing wakes up."
Gu Beiyue looked at Gu's smile and a trace of sadness flashed past his eyes. Gu Qishao's jokes had always been the truth, but now they were all lies.
How could he marry the princess' daughter?
It was unknown whether he could survive this tribulation. In fact, he was immortal and didn't have much time left.
Only then did Gu plant the White Blood Vine seed. The moment the seed entered Bai Yanqing's flesh, a thorny vine actually broke out of the skin and flew out.
This vine was not much different from the one that grew in Gu's body. The only difference was that this one was poisonous!
Han Yunxi was delighted. "Seventh Young Master, hurry!"
Gu immediately swung his sword to cut the vine, but found that it couldn't be cut.
This time, Gu was also pleasantly surprised. "Fire, bring me fire, hurry!"
Long Feiye tossed a torch inside while Gu Qishao used fire to burn the vines. Once again, the results were a pleasant surprise: the vines didn't burn.
"It's the same!" Gu was delighted.
"Your Highness, give it a try!" Gu Beiyue said anxiously.
As soon as Gu moved aside, Long Fei Ye activated the Lustbite power and slashed down with his sword.
They saw … saw the vine being cut in half …
This result made all four of them very excited.
A vine suddenly flew out of Gu's right sleeve and attacked Long Fei Ye. Long Fei Ye naturally knew what he meant, but Long Fei Ye still used the Lustbite power to deal with it.
Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue watched nervously as Long Fei Ye's sword fell and Gu's vine was cut into pieces.
After this sword strike, the room fell silent.
Gu looked at Long Fei Ye in disbelief and was a little dumbfounded. After a while, he muttered, "Long Fei Ye, you can really kill me!"
Han Yunxi was so happy that she almost couldn't speak. She pulled Long Fei Ye's hand and said excitedly, "Our guess is right! It's right! There's no such thing as an immortal body! It's just that his tolerance and immunity are stronger than ordinary people. The Lustbite power doesn't only kill Poison Gu people! "
"Yes! Senior Han Chen is right. There's a power more powerful than the Lustbite power on the Mysterious Continent that can kill Poison Gu people and Seventh Young Master! "Gu Beiyue was also pleasantly surprised.
"Our guess is right! The principle of Bai Yanqing's immortality is the same as Seventh Young Master's! We can definitely find a way to break Seventh Young Master's immortality! We definitely can! "
Han Yunxi smiled. "Gu, let's concoct the antidote first. If something happens to Seventh Young Master's body one day and we can't treat it, we can just take the antidote and return to normal. If nothing happens, do you want to grow old with us or accompany the little thing? It's your choice. "
Gu subconsciously looked at Gu Beiyue. Gu Beiyue was also looking at him.
Poison Lass was so thoughtful. Unfortunately, she didn't know that something had already happened to his body.
Gu had a narcissistic look on his face as he said loudly, "A loyal person like me naturally has to grow old with you guys!"
As he spoke, he walked over to Long Fei Ye and hooked his arm around Long Fei Ye's shoulder. He chuckled and said, "Long Fei Ye, how about your daughter acknowledge me as her godfather in the future? To make up for my regret of not being able to marry her? How about that? "
Long Fei Ye didn't say anything, but he grabbed Gu's other hand and slid his fingers into his sleeve.
From Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue's point of view, Long Fei Ye was only trying to pull him away. However, Gu froze in that instant. Because Long Fei Ye had felt the abnormality in his arm.
Long Fei Ye quickly let go of Gu. It was just a cold look, but Gu didn't dare to speak anymore, as though he had been threatened.
Long Fei Ye often shut Gu up with just a look, so Han Yunxi and Gu Beiyue didn't think much of it.
Gu Beiyue said seriously, "Princess, why don't we take some Poisonous Gu human blood as backup and use it to cure Bai Yanqing's poison?"
Han Yunxi had already combined the nine poisonous teardrops into a small bottle of antidote. She had also done a detailed analysis of the detectable toxicity and medicinal properties, and even compared it with the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion that she had left. She recorded all the data in detail and handed it to Gu Beiyue.
If the nine poisonous teardrops were tested individually, they would still be very corrosive. However, when the nine poisonous teardrops were mixed together to form a poisonous teardrop medicine, the corrosive properties would weaken. Not to mention a human's flesh and bones, it wouldn't even corrode a blade of grass or a tree.
Han Yunxi could only confirm the corrosive properties of the poisonous teardrop medicine, but she didn't know what it could corrode.
If their hypothesis of the plant essence was correct, then the poisonous teardrop medicine should be able to corrode the plant essence in Bai Yanqing's body.
This was still just a guess. They needed to put it into practice.
They needed to see how the nine poisonous teardrops would neutralize Bai Yanqing's Poisonous Gu human body. They also needed to see how Bai Yanqing's body would be after the poison was neutralized, and what changes there would be in the composition of his blood.
Moreover, they also needed to neutralize Bai Yanqing's undying body. Otherwise, this cage wouldn't be able to trap Bai Yanqing.
Gu didn't say anything and immediately went to collect Bai Yanqing's blood. Then, Han Yunxi handed the poisonous teardrop medicine to him. Gu glanced at everyone. Seeing that everyone nodded, he forced the poisonous teardrop medicine into Bai Yanqing's mouth. Gu Beiyue hurriedly went forward to take his pulse.
"His pulse is weakening again!" Gu Beiyue said seriously.
Han Yunxi couldn't help but go forward to take his pulse. Just as Gu Beiyue said, Bai Yanqing's pulse was weakening again. His body seemed to be deteriorating, and there were signs of death.
"He won't die, right?" Han Yunxi was worried.
"His body is deteriorating. Check his breathing!" Gu Beiyue was a little anxious. Gu checked his breathing and was shocked, "His breathing is very weak. Could his internal organs be corroded?"
"No, it's normal exhaustion." Gu Beiyue was very sure.
The poisonous teardrop was the antidote. It could only neutralize the undying body, but it couldn't kill Bai Yanqing!
How could this be? Bai Yanqing wouldn't die like this, right?
