What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

I sighed and explained somewhat helplessly:

Moreover, that little thing didn't get along well with the snake egg that Master Liu entrusted to me.

"As long as I open the jade box containing the snake eggs that day, it refuses to enter my bedroom no matter what I say, and can only wander around in the hallway or living room."

"What happened to you last time served as a reminder to me."

I looked at Jin Wanliang, my tone becoming very serious.

"We can't just leave it like this anymore."

That Gu poison is extremely potent. If it were to wander around the teahouse and accidentally injure someone who was unaware of its danger, then even a miracle wouldn't be able to save them.

Therefore, it must be sealed in a special container.

After listening, Jin Wanliang nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Don't worry! Leave this to me!"

Jin Wanliang patted his chest.

"I'll go to the black market first thing tomorrow morning to inquire. Even if I have to turn Jiangcheng upside down, I'll get you the best Gu box."

"I'll keep that ancestor locked up tight!"

Seeing his enthusiastic attitude, I couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, then I'll leave this to you."

"I'll cover the cost, don't worry about the money, the quality has to be top-notch."

After explaining the matter, I said goodbye to Li Qing again, then pushed open the door of the ward and walked out.

By this time, it was completely dark outside.

The rain poured down, and the wind, mixed with the rain, pounded against the glass windows of the hospital corridor.

I retraced my steps back to the car and drove straight to Tingyuxuan.

……

Last night, the rain was torrential, and the wind, mixed with the rain, lashed against the wooden window frames of Tingyuxuan.

The storm gradually subsided at dawn.

I sat cross-legged on the futon in the center of the bedroom and slowly opened my eyes.

Within his dantian, the evil pill was rotating steadily, and viscous evil energy flowed through his limbs and bones, bringing waves of full-bodied power.

Because of the rain last night, I did not choose to go out on "patrol".

Instead, he spent the entire night meditating and regulating his breathing to completely stabilize the cool energy and malevolent energy that had accumulated during this period.

You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to go step by step.

I've always understood the principle that haste makes waste.

Moreover, the time before the next surgery is not far off.

I calculated that in three days at most, I would be able to gather enough coolness.

Especially in times like these, I need to take the opportunity to adjust my mindset.

By this time, it was already bright outside the window.

The air in Jiangcheng after the rain was filled with the fragrance of earth and grass.

"Knock knock knock—"

Just as I got up to wash up, there was a knock on the door.

"Brother Chen, are you awake? It's me, Lao Jin."

Jin Wanliang's voice, though deliberately lowered, still couldn't hide his excitement, came from outside the door.

I walked over and opened the door, and saw Jin Wanliang standing outside.

He was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and his chubby face had two obvious dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept all night.

But his small eyes were shining with excitement, and he was tightly clutching a square object wrapped in apricot-yellow silk.

"Come in and sit down."

I turned to the side and beckoned him into the house. I then walked over to the tea table and started boiling water to prepare tea.

Jin Wanliang carried the object and tiptoed into the room.

As he entered the room, his gaze unconsciously swept over the door frame before he quickly looked away and strode to the tea table to sit down.

"Old Jin, your efficiency is just too high!"

As I washed the teaware, I asked with a smile.

"You got the stuff in just one night?"

"Absolutely!"

Jin Wanliang patted his round belly, a proud look on his face.

"I, Jin Wanliang, will do my best to handle the matter that Brother Chen entrusted to me, even if it means running myself ragged."

Last night, after leaving the hospital, I went to the underground black market in Jiangcheng and found a few dealers who specialize in dealing in old items from southern Xinjiang.

I also used my connections to knock on the doors of several old collectors, and finally managed to get this treasure for you.

As he spoke, Jin Wanliang carefully untied the apricot-yellow silk cloth on the table.

As the silk cloth was lifted, a wooden box, about the size of two palms, appeared in my sight. It was dark purplish-red in color.

The material of this wooden box is very special.

Its surface is not painted, but it has a layer of lustrous sheen like patina.

The four sides and top of the wooden box are carved with many intricate and ancient totems of southern Xinjiang.

Upon closer inspection, they resemble various insects and beasts weaving among the vines.

I put down the teapot in my hand, walked over and sat down at the table, and carefully examined the wooden box.

"This is good stuff."

I could sense the extraordinary nature of this wooden box with just one glance.

At this moment, it exudes a faint woody fragrance.

Just one whiff of it can bring a sense of peace.

"Of course it's good stuff."

Jin Wanliang lowered his voice, as if he were introducing some rare treasure.

"Brother Chen, you said last night that the giant centipede was extremely venomous."

I suspect that anything that can follow you must be something extraordinary.

If you just put it in a random iron or jade box, it will not only anger it, but also affect its spirituality.

Jin Wanliang stretched out his chubby fingers and gently stroked the totem on the wooden box, continuing:

"For professional matters, you need to use professional tools."

The old swindler in the black market calls this box the Purple Wood Spirit Box.

It is said that this wood comes from the heartwood of a thousand-year-old purple-gold tree deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains, and is naturally endowed with the power to calm the mind and soothe the spirit.

As he spoke, he gently activated a hidden mechanism on the side of the wooden box.

With a soft "click," the lid of the wooden box slowly popped open.

I took a closer look and found that the design inside the box was quite ingenious.

It is not an empty cavity, but is divided into upper and lower layers.

The bottom layer is covered with a special dark red soil, on which grow some tiny, shimmering moss.

"Look at this lining."

Jin Wanliang pointed to the inside of the box and explained.

"The soil underneath is a secret recipe made from insect-attracting incense unique to southern Xinjiang and various medicinal herbs."

The upper compartment is a mesh bag woven from the finest silk mixed with silver thread, which is extremely breathable.

There are also twelve tiny air holes hidden around the box.

Not only does it ensure the Gu worms can breathe freely inside, but most importantly, once the lid is closed, the box completely isolates the Gu worms from emitting any scent.

Jin Wan picked up the cup of hot tea I had just poured and drank it all in one gulp to moisten his throat.

"The old magistrate patted his chest and assured me that in the past, this thing was a professional tool used by the great Gu masters in the Southern Frontier to raise their natal Gu."

Putting the Gu worm inside provides excellent nourishment, far more comfortable than letting it roam freely in the wind and sun.

"A perfect match for your major, you can't go wrong!"

After listening to Jin Wanliang's introduction, I nodded with great satisfaction.
