The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3121 Love Tribulation and Poison
All the beauty began to dissipate before he and the woman returned to the Supreme Sect, and then Du Xing's tragic fate began.

Just before he and the woman entered the sect, their love blossomed. Finally, when they spent the night together at the inn, they couldn't restrain themselves and broke through their final barrier, enjoying a night of passion and marital bliss!

That night was arguably the happiest time for Du Xing. After a night of lovemaking, he realized that life wasn't just about cultivation, but also about physical intimacy and overflowing love. Especially when he was with the woman he loved, that was the ultimate and most unparalleled enjoyment.

But the very next day, when Du Xing woke up, he thought this might be the most pleasant morning of his life. Unprepared, without caution, only overflowing with love. But when he opened his eyes to look at the woman who had been with him, he found she was no longer beside him.

Originally, Du Xing didn't care much. When he woke up, the woman was not there. Maybe she went outside to wash up, maybe she was preparing breakfast, or maybe she had something to do.

However, after searching for a whole day, Du Xing found no trace of the woman.

Du Xing immediately became anxious. Could it be that the woman had encountered some danger and thus disappeared?

In a moment of panic, Du Xing didn't even have time to return to his sect and began frantically searching for the woman.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he searched, even mobilizing his fellow disciples and everyone he could find to search for the woman, he still couldn't find her. It was as if the woman had vanished from the world after their one-night stand.

Some people advised Du Xing to stop looking, suggesting the woman might be deceiving him, but he didn't believe it. After all, the entire journey back with the woman, and the scenes of their one-night stand, all showed how deeply she loved him.

Furthermore, if the woman deliberately approached him to obtain something, but he suffered no loss, it suggests that something may have happened to the woman.

Seven days of searching, turning the surrounding area upside down, yielded no results; the woman had simply vanished without a trace.

Seven days later, while Du Xing was still frantically searching for the woman, someone found him and gave him a letter.

Normally, cultivators could use jade talismans to send messages, but this time they didn't. Instead, they sent a letter with black and white writing on paper!
After opening the letter, Du Xing discovered that it was written to him by a woman.

This made Du Xing extremely happy. Finally, there was news of the woman, and perhaps he could see her again through the contents of the letter.

But after he finished reading the letter, he felt a chill run through him from head to toe!
He knew where the woman was, but there was no need to anymore!

He came to a nearby valley and found the woman's belongings in a clean cave.

A dried-up remnant, and a small storage bag placed on a nearby stone.

That's all the stuff we have, but the woman has already passed away!
Looking at this patch of dried-up remains, Du Xing didn't know what to say. He was even unable to speak or breathe.

In the end, he could only kneel on the ground, in great pain, but unable to make a sound!

The woman explained everything clearly in the letter, but Du Xing would rather not receive it. What he saw in the letter was not love, but hatred, the satisfaction of avenging a great grudge, and a heart full of no regrets.

And at the end of the letter, she said "I'm sorry!"

The woman approached him for revenge. There was a deep-seated hatred between her and Du Xing, a blood feud stemming from the massacre of her entire family. During a mission, Du Xing had wiped out her entire clan, and she sought revenge by getting close to him. The letter was written long ago, on their journey back to the Supreme Sect after completing their gathering mission.

Then, seven days ago in the morning, she asked someone to deliver a letter to him seven days later, explaining everything in the letter.

Du Xing then realized that he too had been poisoned, by a type of Gu poison that was feared and dreaded by all cultivators in the cultivation world.

Love Tribulation Poison!

A very rare type of Gu poison. This toxin is colorless, odorless, and impossible to guard against; one may not even feel anything after being poisoned. Only after the poison takes effect will one realize they have been poisoned. Furthermore, even after the poison takes effect, one may not know that the poison is the Love Tribulation Gu poison.

Furthermore, there is no antidote for the Love Tribulation Gu poison; it cannot be cured, and one can only wait to die after the poison takes effect. The Love Tribulation Gu poison can only be transmitted through a sexual encounter between a man and a woman, and both parties must be willing, mutually attracted, and completely devoted to each other for the poison to take hold.

After being poisoned, a small red dot will appear on the chest area, which is also a characteristic of the Love Tribulation Gu poison.

Now, Du Xing has a tiny, almost negligible red dot on his chest, indicating that he has been poisoned by the Love Tribulation Gu.

In the cultivation world, the Love Tribulation Gu poison is so terrifying that cultivators turn pale at the mere mention of it and avoid it at all costs. Some even kill the Love Tribulation Gu worms they see or even witness. This is not only because there is no cure for the Love Tribulation Gu poison, but also because the person who poisons it must be someone they love, and the poison can only be transmitted after a willing and wholehearted night of passion.

The Love Tribulation Gu Poison is extremely rare in the cultivation world, and it has been eradicated by all cultivators, making it even more difficult to find.

In the cultivation world, only a few demonic sects cultivate love-tribulation worms.

The Love Tribulation Gu worm is specifically designed to target cultivators; ordinary people would not be able to withstand its toxins.

It is quite complicated to make someone fall under the spell of the Love Tribulation Poison.

After all, the Love Tribulation Gu worm is not only difficult to find, but also difficult to breed.

First, after finding the Love Tribulation Gu worms, it's essential to have a male and female pair. Then, you must raise the Gu worms from their larval stage. This way, the Gu worms will recognize their master, and it will also make it easier to poison people later.

The Love Tribulation Gu worms always appear in pairs, male and female, and the two worms will stay together for life. If either worm dies, the other worm will also die seven days later. No matter how far apart they are, if one dies, the other worm will definitely die seven days later.

Therefore, this characteristic of the Gu worm is why it is called the Love Tribulation Gu worm.

When raising Gu worms, they must be fed with the blood of the breeder's heart. Of course, not every day, just one drop a month is enough. After seven years of this process, the Gu worms will transform into adult worms.

After the Gu worms become adults, both the male and female Gu worms will produce a Gu worm toxin in their bodies. This toxin is called the Love Tribulation Poison.
