Wang Kun furrowed his eyebrows, "Is it Liang Bingchuan from Xuanhe International?"

Liu Zixuan asked, "Do you know him?"

"Can't really say I know him, just heard of him. Alright, let's not talk about this now, let's go rescue the person first." Wang Kun hurriedly said.

Liu Zixuan nodded, "Okay, we can chat later."

Following Wang Kun into the villa, Liu Zixuan was amazed by the interior of the spacious and luxurious villa.

Rich people are really something, living in a place like a damn palace.

He thought to himself, he must build an even more luxurious palace in Lingxiu Village, and marry ten wives to live the good life.

Wang Kun led Liu Zixuan and Jiang Yiyi to a bedroom and pointed to the man on the bed, "Brother Zixuan, please help and take a look."

Liu Zixuan stepped forward.

In front of him lay a man who appeared to be close to fifty, slightly bald and somewhat overweight, though not obese.

The man had his eyes tightly shut, a dark greenish hue on his forehead, lips purple and slightly cracked.

The veins in his neck bulged, his breathing rapid, and his cheeks were covered in sweat.

Strangely enough, the sweat didn't flow like liquid but clung to the skin like solid moisture.

"He had no prior illness and has always been careful about his health. He was supposed to discuss an official project with me today, but suddenly fainted during the meeting and ended up like this." Wang Kun explained, looking at Liu Zixuan, "Brother Zixuan, what kind of illness is this?"

"This isn't an illness!"

Liu Zixuan shook his head.

"Not an illness? Then what is it?" Wang Kun was puzzled.

"Is he poisoned? Look at his purple lips, it resembles poisoning somewhat." Jiang Yiyi chimed in.

Liu Zixuan shook his head again, taking the man's wrist, revealing a black line extending from his wrist to his arm about twenty centimeters long.

"This isn't poison, it's Gu!"

"Gu?" Wang Kun was surprised, since he had only ever heard others talk about it, never actually seen it.

"Gu? Isn't that something found only on the southern border and northwest?" Jiang Yiyi asked, also surprised.

"I have my doubts about this too."

Liu Zixuan chuckled awkwardly, "The person who inflicted the Gu on him must be skilled. This Gu might have been on him for three months, hidden initially consuming his energy, then triggering the Gu poison at a certain time causing him to faint, awaiting death!"

"This is..." Wang Kun furrowed his brow, "You're saying someone intended to harm him?"

"I'm afraid dealing with him isn't that simple!" Liu Zixuan shrugged, "This Gu is called Five Poison Gu. Five toxic plants, five toxic insects, five toxic substances, these three groups of five refined over forty-nine days. As far as I know, this Five Poison Gu is internationally banned."

"Where was it most prevalent before being banned?" Wang Kun asked.

"Witch Country." Liu Zixuan murmured.

"Hiss!"

Wang Kun gasped, "How did he provoke people from Witch Country?"

"Those Witch Country scoundrels, only they could concoct such vicious things." Jiang Yiyi said angrily.

Liu Zixuan chuckled, "As for how he was poisoned with Gu, we'll have to ask him. For now, let's help him get rid of the Gu. Otherwise, he won't last until tonight."

"Can it be removed?" Wang Kun asked.

"Are you trying to embarrass me?"

Liu Zixuan said irritably, "It's just a little Five Poison Gu, this young master can easily handle it."

"Don't brag, you just said, five toxic insects, plants, and substances—if we want the antidote, we need to know what these fifteen things are to treat properly." Jiang Yiyi stared at Liu Zixuan.

"Wow, you know a bit, don't you?" Liu Zixuan smiled.

"I don't know."

"Then how do you know?"

"Isn't this how it's always portrayed in TV dramas?" Jiang Yiyi said casually.

"..."

Sweat appeared on Liu Zixuan's forehead; TV dramas sure are misleading!

However, Jiang Yiyi is right; if one wants to remove this Five Poison Gu, it's crucial to know those fifteen toxic insects, plants, and substances to treat correctly.

But don't forget, Liu Zixuan has a variety of awesome tools, so he can skip that step entirely.

He took out two needles from Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles and put the other Silver Needle aside for backup.

"Prepare a bucket and some cold water, preferably ice-cold." Liu Zixuan said to Wang Kun.

Wang Kun nodded and hurriedly asked someone to prepare.

Jiang Yiyi watched Liu Zixuan with doubt, "Hey, can you really do it?"

"Do you know what happens to women who underestimate me?" Liu Zixuan teased.

Jiang Yiyi instinctively asked, "What happens?"

"I end up sleeping with them all!"

"You!"

"Haha, just watch how the young master shows off..."

"Shows off?"

"Watch how the young master removes the Gu!" Liu Zixuan coughed, nearly messing up his act in front of Jiang Yiyi, which would be embarrassing.

When the servant brought the wooden bucket and ice water, Liu Zixuan placed the Profound Spirit Silver Needle in the ice water and held the Profound Cloud Silver Needle between his fingers.

Meanwhile, a scarlet light suddenly flickered in Liu Zixuan's eyes, activating the Blazing Dragon X-ray Eye.

His gaze swept across the black line on the man's arm, directly peering into the bone.

Upon seeing the location where the Gu insect developed, Liu Zixuan decisively pierced with the Profound Cloud Silver Needle.

"Uhhh..." The man groaned in discomfort.

Liu Zixuan smirked, "A mere Gu insect dares act arrogant in front of the Ghost Gate Needle? Die!"

With the word 'die' spoken, Liu Zixuan suddenly pulled the man up, making him lie face down.

Then, he took the Profound Spirit Silver Needle from the ice water and directly pierced the acupunctural point at the back of the man's neck.

Next, several needles were simultaneously pierced in. Liu Zixuan's hands moved as if creating an imprint, swiftly maneuvering on each needle.

His fingers lightly pinched a few times; to an onlooker, it might seem like a performance, but true experts know the movement and frequency for each needle are precise.

About twenty minutes later, Liu Zixuan warned, "Stand back and cover your nose and mouth!"

Wang Kun and Jiang Yiyi quickly moved back a few steps and followed his instructions.

Suddenly, Liu Zixuan struck the man's back with a palm filled with Inner Strength.

The man abruptly opened his bleary eyes, mouth wide open.

"Ugh..."

In an instant, the man spat out disgusting insects into the wooden bucket, and the previously clear ice water turned completely red!
