Chapter 425: Subdue the Ghost Master
The fifth courtyard of the Gui family
After Hua Yan popped the pill, she was about to leave in style, but before she took two steps, her body became uncontrollable. She thought to herself that this was not good and she had underestimated her enemy.
The moment Gui Lao took the pill, he started taking his antidote, then looked at Hua Yan with a smile, waiting for the poison to take effect.
Seeing Hua Yan frozen in place, Gui Lao knew there was no escape from her trap this time. Before his smile could spread, his internal organs began to ache, and large beads of cold sweat streamed down his forehead.
At this point, neither of them cared about each other and began to feel their own bodies.
Hua Yan saw that Ghost Old Man had also been poisoned by her, and he had lost his previous calm demeanor. She knew that her poison was a bit too strong and that the old man would not be able to cure it in a short time. She simply sat down where she was. She had no antidote, so she could only force the poison out, because it was too late to prepare it now.
"Qiubao, help me protect the law."
Although no one came in, Hua Yan still cautiously summoned Qiu Bao. This detoxification method can only be tried when no one is disturbing you.
Hua Yan did not enter the Plum Blossom Valley because she did not want to reveal her cards.
The sudden appearance of Qiu Bao in the room did not attract Gui Lao's attention at all, because he was fully focused on detoxification.
Among the skills that Guiguzi taught Hua Yan, there is a method to force toxins out of the body. Hua Yan had never used it before. This was the first time she used it.
Because so far, only Ghost Elder had made her Hundred Poison Elimination Pills ineffective. The first time she used the Hundred Poison Elimination Pills in this place, she didn't expect it to fail at the last moment.
With her eyes slightly closed, Hua Yan felt the toxins in her body move away and activated her skills. The tension at this moment was no less than dodging a bullet head-on.
Qiu Baoma used all his strength and scanned Hua Yan's surroundings to ensure that Hua Yan would not be distracted in the slightest.
Time was infinitely extended, and Hua Yan's consciousness scanned her body. The toxins that were rapidly rushing towards her internal organs were intercepted by Hua Yan and then forced out of her body bit by bit.
Hua Yan didn't dare to act hastily, fearing that something might go wrong.
"Qiu Bao, I'm entering the space. I feel like it will take a long time to force everything out. I'm worried that before I'm done, this old guy will have already detoxified."
Seeing that Gui Lao was unable to take care of himself, Hua Yan wanted to use the time difference between the space and the outside world to quickly detoxify to avoid any accidents.
Qiu Bao followed Hua Yan into the space and asked in a low voice:
"Jiu'er, take one of these Hundred Poison Elimination Pills. It can at least partially eliminate the poison, even if it can't completely cure it."
"I took one before, and now it doesn't work."
"That's because the active ingredients were used up by the previous poison. Maybe taking another pill will have an effect."
Hua Yan obeyed and threw another pill into her mouth.
As time passed, Hua Yan's poison was gradually expelled from her body, and the Hundred Poison Elimination Pills also neutralized some of it. By the time all the toxins were completely eliminated, it was already two hours later.
Hua Yan's spiritual power was too much, and she plunged into the spiritual spring pool. The fatigue brought her sleepiness, and she fell asleep with her eyes slightly closed.
A "clang" sound woke Hua Yan up. She opened her eyes and looked at Qiu Bao.
"The man outside looks like he's about to die from the poison."
Qiu Bao had been observing the movements outside and knew that Gui Lao was now on the verge of life and death.
The old man tried various methods to detoxify, but with little effect. After struggling for more than half an hour, he was exhausted. He fell to the ground without paying attention and knocked over the table on the tatami.
Hua Yan was only concerned about herself and had forgotten that she had a life-and-death opponent. Her spiritual power had almost recovered, and she flashed out of the Plum Blossom Valley.
"Ghost Master, are you okay?"
Hua Yan looked at Gui Lao with a smile, looking like he deserved a beating.
"Ah? You cured me of the poison? How... is that possible?"
Gui Lao looked so surprised that he had forgotten the pain.
"Don't you know what it means that there are always people better than you? Nothing is impossible."
"Then... please help me... get rid of the poison, please..."
Gui Lao knew that if he didn't detoxify himself, he would die.
"I detoxified the poison you gave me myself. Why should I help you? Who would do such a stupid thing if there is no benefit?"
"What...do...you...want...?"
At this point, Gui Lao's facial features were distorted with pain, and he tried his best to finish his words.
"Ghost family."
Gui Lao didn't understand what Hua Yan meant. He looked at Hua Yan with confusion, lying on the ground with his body hunched and twitching.
"From now on, the Gui family will be mine, and you must obey me in everything."
Hua Yan spoke shamelessly about her ulterior motives.
"Ah! Ah! I'll give you half of the ghost family's property."
The ghost was still bargaining when he was about to die, and refused to give up his own interests.
Hua Yan shook her head calmly, leaving no room for negotiation.
After three breaths, Gui Lao nodded reluctantly, but he had other plans in mind.
"I can cure your poison, and I can give you another one, even more poisonous than this time. Don't think you can just deal with me temporarily and then destroy the bridge."
Hua Yan is like a cheetah that has successfully hunted, playing with its prey in a good mood.
Gui Lao didn't expect that his thoughts were seen through by others, but he still didn't give up his original intention. He just wanted to destroy the bridge after crossing it.
"Take these two pills, and then I'll help you detox."
Hua Yan gave Gui Lao a pill that can eliminate all poisons, and the other one was a pill that controls consciousness, which contained a trace of Hua Yan's consciousness.
The Baidu Jinxiao Pill can only eliminate part of the toxicity. The rest must be eliminated by blocking the heart meridian and using detoxification techniques.
"Isn't this... the... antidote?"
"Yes, it can only partially cure this poison. I haven't developed an antidote for this poison yet, so I have to resort to other methods."
At this moment, Gui Lao couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that this girl was just like him, aiming for mutual destruction. However, he was still slightly inferior and was defeated.
After taking the pill, Gui Lao felt the pain ease. Hua Yan asked him to sit cross-legged, but he couldn't stand up, so he just sat there holding on to the wall.
Hua Yan didn't waste any time and began to detoxify. Then, when Gui Lao's consciousness was at its weakest, she let her spiritual consciousness take the dominant position.
If it weren't for the fact that Gui Lao was seriously injured, Hua Yan's consciousness control pill would never have worked, because it requires active acceptance and gradual occupation. If it were to forcefully invade and encounter an expert, Hua Yan's consciousness would be pushed out and she would be counterattacked.
So every time Hua Yan feeds this pill to people, it is either to crush them with her strength or to make them accept it willingly.
Fortunately, no one came to disturb Hua Yan while she was detoxifying Gui Lao. This was because Gui Lao was a suspicious person and no one dared to come in without his call.
After all, it was a poison developed by Hua Yan herself, and her pharmacology and properties were very clear. The remaining toxins could be excreted from the body within an hour.
Seeing the limp Gui Lao, Hua Yan didn't act like Huang Shiren, but allowed him to rest for a while. She also kindly gave him a bottle of peach juice to help him recover quickly.
"Xiaohua, are you really not considering becoming a member of the Gui family?"
The old ghost, who had recovered some of his strength, still hadn't given up on his restless heart. He thought his poison was unbreakable, but Hua Yan easily detoxified it, and he himself was poisoned by her but couldn't get rid of it. Such a person, if he didn't stay in the Gui family, he would be a sinner of the Gui family.
"The Gui family is mine, why should I be a member of the Gui family?"
"what?"
Gui Lao remembered what Hua Yan said before she saved him, and he was stuck for a moment.
"I agreed, but what if others disagree?"
"Aren't you the head of the family? You've already listened to me, so why would anyone object?"
"But……"
"No buts, only obedience. Only by obeying can you survive. Disobeying will only lead to death."
Hua Yan spoke with great confidence. Although she looked like a child, Gui Lao did not doubt her words at all.
