The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

Although it's unknown whether he has caught up with his cousin Bai Yifei, it's clear that he wouldn't easily pass on his skills to others.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, I can't grant you this request..."

Madam Mingzhu spoke softly, refusing Jiang Chuan while playfully winking at him.

It must be said, she is a rare beauty.

She has a charming face and a stunning figure.

Even Jiang Chuan, a normal man, was somewhat tempted.

But he was not like the King of Han, who could only watch helplessly as the meat was being manipulated at will, without ever actually getting a bite.

With a king who can't even distinguish between dreams and reality and is always in a daze, it's no wonder that the sky in Korea is so dark, shrouded in night.

"You have no right to refuse."

Jiang Chuan appeared unusually tough.

Madam Mingzhu had one more thing to say.

The next instant, the firelight flickered.

Upon seeing this, Madam Mingzhu felt a chill run down her spine.

He immediately realized that it was an illusion.

Seeing that she was not cooperating, Jiang Chuan decided to use force and prepared to use illusion magic (good job!) to forcibly extract the secret of Gu-making from her.

Lady Mingzhu wanted to use her internal energy to resist the illusion.

However, after circulating the energy, he realized that the meridian-severing technique within his body had not yet been lifted.

She had no special skills.

Therefore, one can only resist illusions by relying on one's own will.

It must be said that Madam Mingzhu has a very strong will.

Without Ru Shuang's presence to torment Lady Mingzhu's will, she actually withstood the effects of the Fire Charm Technique.

But even the strongest will has its moments of wavering.

Jiang Chuan's words drifted into Madam Mingzhu's ears.

These words all concern her and Bai Yifei's secrets.

Upon hearing about these extremely important matters, Madam Mingzhu appeared indifferent on the surface, but in reality, she took them very seriously.

Her heart began to waver.

As her heart began to waver, the Fire Seduction Technique seized the opportunity.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Squeezing Lady Mingzhu Dry

In an instant, Madam Mingzhu became a puppet once again.

Much of the knowledge of Gu techniques and the methods of casting illusions that Bai Yifei had taught her, fell into Jiang Chuan's ears through Madam Mingzhu's words.

Although there were many things that Jiang Chuan couldn't understand.

But that's not important. What he needs is the process of Lady Mingzhu imparting her knowledge and skills.

His many doubts will naturally be resolved once he enters that misty space.

This time, Jiang Chuan's decision to seek out Madam Mingzhu and learn Gu techniques from her was not a sudden whim, but rather something he decided to do after careful consideration.

As expected, the Fire Rain Agate case is about to begin.

The start of this case, with Liu Yi's death, will directly lead to the return of Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei.

Lady Mingzhu, this must be the moment you've been waiting for.

Of course, Jiang Chuan could also choose to prevent Liu Yi's death.

But no one can say for sure whether Bai Yifei will return if Liu Yi is not dead.

Because, according to the timeline, it was indeed time for him to return home in triumph.

Liu Yi's death was a trigger, but definitely not the main reason.

When he returns, will Madam Mingzhu tell Bai Yifei what happened to her?

Even Madam Mingzhu's life and her secrets were now in his hands.

But Jiang Chuan couldn't guarantee these things.

Therefore, he must have sufficient self-protection capabilities.

Admittedly, Bai Yi is not very strong, and Ru Shuang is not weak either. With Ru Shuang protecting him, his life will be safe. He will simply have to give up his position in front of Ji Wuye and choose to flee.

Even before fleeing, he could use Yin Baiyifei to expose his secret plots, causing Ji Wuye to break with him.

But these are all measures taken only as a last resort.

Before that, Jiang Chuan must find a way to defeat Bai Yifei.

The deadly poison transforms into a withered gu, its congealed blood staining white robes.

This is not just a line of poetry, but also the biggest secret about Bai Yifei.

Jiang Chuan already knew this secret from Madam Mingzhu.

As Bai Yifei's cousin, Madam Mingzhu was trained by Bai Yifei to be his helper when she was very young. Although they are cousins, Bai Yifei is actually older than people imagine. He is old enough to be Madam Mingzhu's father.

It was only because she cultivated a secret technique originating from the southern border that she was able to maintain her appearance and remain youthful.

Over the years, Madam Mingzhu has done countless things to help Bai Yifei practice his skills.

In addition to refining Gu worms, he also secretly sent many beautiful young girls from the palace to Bai Yifei.

As for why it's a teenage girl?

Naturally, this is because Bai Yifei needs to drink the blood of pure young girls to practice his martial arts.

He used the blood of young girls to maintain his appearance, and then used their blood to cultivate the Gu worms in his body. As long as the Gu worms in his body did not die, he could maintain his appearance forever and his power would never cease. Even if he was injured, he could recover quickly by consuming the blood of young girls.

Blood is the source of his power.

It was because he learned from Madam Mingzhu that Bai Yifei's cultivation technique was an extremely powerful Gu technique, in which he used himself as a vessel to raise Gu within his body.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan wanted to learn the Gu technique from Madam Mingzhu in order to find Bai Yifei's weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

Perhaps Bai Yifei held back a trick or two when he taught Madam Mingzhu the art of Gu poison.

But it is not important.

Importantly, Jiang Chuan needs to understand Gu techniques.

Even if Bai Yifei had some tricks up his sleeve, he could still deduce and uncover Bai Yifei's secrets by working backward from the same source of Gu techniques after he had figured them out.

Half the night passed.

Jiang Chuan had gained a lot of useful knowledge about making Gu poison from Madam Mingzhu, and felt that the time was almost up.

The Fire Charm spell was immediately dispelled.

Maintaining the Fire Charm for a long time was actually a burden for him.

Even though he possessed the Fire Virtue Body, which gave him an advantage when casting fire-based spells, he had not yet reached the Innate Realm, so his power was quite limited. Therefore, he felt slightly tired after the power was dispelled.

After the Fire Charm spell was lifted, Lady Mingzhu regained her senses.

She looked at Jiang Chuan, her expression grim.

"Madam's teaching is really good, but unfortunately, her tone of voice is indifferent and lacks any emotion, which is not good."

"So I hope you'll be teaching when you're fully awake next time."

Jiang Chuan looked at Madam Mingzhu and said something.

Madam Mingzhu wanted to speak, but in the end, she obediently shut her mouth. After all, what's done is done, and saying anything now would only make her seem like she was just raging incompetence, and it wouldn't do any good.

"By the way, please don't tell anyone about what happened tonight, Madam."

Jiang Chuan reminded Madam Mingzhu again, and then left Madam Mingzhu's palace, disappearing into the vast night.

Madam Mingzhu watched Jiang Chuan leave, her expression changing repeatedly, but in the end she said nothing.

To conceal her secret, Lady Mingzhu had virtually no guards near her palace.

After all, her palace held too many secrets.

With so many people around, it's easy to get caught up in the crowd.

This also gave Jiang Chuan the opportunity to infiltrate this place.

Using the concealment technique he learned from Ru Shuang, Jiang Chuan hid his aura and then quickly left the place by using his lightness skill.

Although, when it comes to internal strength, he is only at a first-rate level.

However, his mastery of various martial arts techniques has reached a level that is almost akin to the Dao, a pinnacle of skill.

To this day, Jiang Chuan still doesn't understand the true nature of his cheat ability.

But after such a long time, we eventually figured out some useful methods.
