The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3122 Escaped

If you want to use Gu worms, it's very simple. Just swallow any Gu worm. After entering the body, the Gu worm will find the heart meridian on its own, then reside on the heart meridian, feeding on the host's heart blood to survive.

Then, keep the other unswallowed Gu worm alive, or place it elsewhere, just make sure it survives.

At this moment, the host's body contains toxins, which can be transmitted to others.

To poison someone, sexual intercourse is necessary. Therefore, if the target of revenge is a man, the host must be a woman; if the target of revenge is a woman, the host must be a man.

After infection and poisoning, a small red dot will appear on the chest, indicating that the poison has been transmitted. However, to transmit the Love Tribulation Poison, both parties must be mutually in love and affectionate, and must be willing during sexual intercourse without any lingering resentment. Only in this way can the poison be transmitted to others.

Moreover, as long as the worm being raised does not die, the host will not die, and the person poisoned by the worm will not experience poisoning.

Furthermore, the poisoned person will gradually develop a deeper love for the host, eventually becoming unwaveringly loyal. This is a rather criticized aspect of the cultivation world; after being poisoned, as long as the Gu worm is not killed, the poisoned person will gradually fall in love with the one who poisoned them, and with unwavering loyalty at that.

If you want someone to die from poisoning, you kill the worms you're raising. The worm inside the host's body will die seven days later, and the host will also die at the same time. After another seven days, the poisoned person will show signs of poisoning.

However, the poisoned person will not die after seven days, but will be tormented by the poison.

Those poisoned are all cultivators, but after being poisoned, their cultivation level will stagnate. If they try to cultivate again, they will suffer from qi deviation due to the poisonous insects. Furthermore, their cultivation level will gradually decline over time, eventually leading either to madness due to qi deviation or to becoming an ordinary person due to the decline in their cultivation level.

However, if you stop cultivating, the Gu worms will keep erupting, causing you unbearable pain. You'll be tormented by the Gu poison every day, with unbearable pain, numbness, and itching all over your body. Only cultivation can alleviate the suffering. But cultivating can lead to qi deviation and demonic possession—it's a truly difficult choice.

When they finally lose their cultivation and become ordinary people, they will die seven days later from the moment their bodies begin to fester and itch unbearably.

It can be said that once poisoned, one's life is no longer one's own, but in the hands of others and controlled by them.

This is also one of the reasons why the poison of love tribulation is hated in the cultivation world.

Therefore, this toxin is highly problematic, yet impossible to prevent. After all, the host must wholeheartedly love the other person in order to transmit the toxin.

Sometimes, even after being poisoned, couples fall in love and ultimately don't kill the insects, remaining together until old age.

However, this did not happen with Duxing.

After Du Xing was poisoned, he was initially unaware of it and was still thinking about finding the woman he loved.

But seven days later, after receiving a letter, he learned of his poisoning. The woman had already passed away by the time he received the letter. It was from the address on the letter that he found the dried blood and the storage bag.

Through the description in the letter, Du Xingcai learned about this woman's past.

A woman's name sounds beautiful, suggesting she should be a poetic person. Song Wanxi has a classical feel, and also conveys a sense of gentleness and grace.

Before she turned twelve, her family was considered a well-off middle-class family in the area. Everyone in the family lived a happy and fulfilling life. Her parents were still alive, and she had several older brothers and sisters. The whole family doted on their youngest sister. The family was living happily until they offended another family in the area over a dispute about land.

Furthermore, this family had disciples cultivating in the Supreme Sect, and they happened to have a good relationship with Du Xing. When Du Xing was passing through this area on his mission, he took the opportunity to check on the situation of his fellow disciple's family.

Unexpectedly, the patriarch of this family, who was also the father of that fellow disciple, made a false accusation and, in a series of sophistry, portrayed the Song family as a local tyrant.

Despite the fact that his fellow disciples' families were the local tyrants, his father accused the Song family of being a local bully who had done all sorts of bad things.

At the time, Du Xing was in a hurry and wanted to investigate, but his fellow family members hired someone to put on a show, which made him think that the Song family was not a good family. They even bullied men and women in front of him.

Therefore, as a Golden Core expert, he easily wiped out the Song family!

The Song family, from top to bottom, more than a hundred people, were all killed by Du Xing because of his biased listening and wrong actions, except for Song Wanxi.

Song Wanxi happened to be preparing a late-night snack for her parents in the kitchen when she heard about the murder, and she managed to hide in the kitchen cellar and escape the attack.

Of course, it can't be said that he kept it from Du Xing. Rather, when he was killing someone, he found a little girl hiding in the cellar. He thought she was the cook's daughter, so he didn't attack her and let her go!
A Golden Core cultivator treats mortals like ants; their life or death is entirely at his discretion. Therefore, even when he attacked the Song family, it was a casual act. However, he didn't kill the Song family's servants, cooks, and other personnel, sparing them like ants.

That's why Song Wanxi wasn't killed.

After all, it is absolutely impossible to evade the divine sense of a Golden Core cultivator.

Destroying an ordinary family was truly something Du Xing did casually.

In fact, Du Xing had no intention of killing ordinary people. It was only when he saw the Song family members being staged that he felt the wickedness was so strong that he decided to kill them. In his heart, he believed that he was acting on behalf of God and killing bad people.

However, he never expected that all of this was a performance staged for him by his fellow disciple's family. Therefore, due to his mistake, he wiped out the entire family, and ultimately, he had to bear the consequences of this error himself. Especially since he casually spared Song Wanxi as if she were an ant, this ultimately led to Du Xing's tragic life.

After Du Xing wiped out the Song family and left, his so-called fellow clansmen gathered their forces and massacred the Song family again, sparing no one. Whether they were members of the Song family or servants, maids, cooks, etc., they were all wiped out. It was as if even shaking an egg would break the yolk.

This was all planned in advance; when Du Xing took advantage of the situation, they followed him and wiped out the entire Song family.

The massacre of the entire family was somehow managed to shift the blame onto Du Xing, while his fellow disciples' families escaped any responsibility. The person who devised this plan after Du Xing's appearance, implemented it in such a short time, and then cleaned up the mess afterward—that's truly a genius.

As they had assumed, after the locals investigated, they discovered that it was the work of a cultivator, and that was the end of it; the matter was dropped.

But no one knew that the Song family had a girl, a twelve-year-old girl, who escaped the calamity.
