Chapter 1258: Chapter 1261: Expelling the Gu (Part 2)

That kind of gaze carried a sense of being highly sought after.

It was as if a beautiful girl had joined a class of civil engineering students.

Lin Xi remained calm, always wearing a smile on his face.

Regarding this, he had also gained some understanding.

Even those stationed outside the Leqing Sect do not have the opportunity to go out often.

Relatively speaking, over seventy percent of the people within the sect have never been stationed outside.

So for women who haven’t seen men for seven to eight years, or more than a decade, they are definitely curious.

Especially since, yesterday, he had single-handedly turned the tide of events dramatically.

So it was strange if the ladies didn’t have a budding romantic interest.

However, because the Sect Leader and the four elders were always around him, they didn’t approach him or flirt.

If Lin Xi were alone, he wouldn’t feel out of place feeling like he was surrounded by wolves.

When it was their turn in line, Lin Xi noticed it was three middle-aged women making breakfast.

Their speed was extremely fast.

After all, these three women also possessed the power level of a novice King of Soldiers.

He ordered six meat buns, two steamer baskets of soup dumplings, two bowls of noodles, and two bowls of rice noodles, along with quite a lot of soy milk and milk.

The three women, "...."

The five, including Yue Chan, stood there in amazement.

Others also slightly opened their mouths, their expressions exaggerated.

But the next moment, all their expressions returned to normal, as if they had realized something.

Lin Xi vaguely heard a girl say, "Could he be that powerful?"

During breakfast, Yue Chan seemed like she wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Xi enjoying his food, she temporarily put the thought aside.

After he finished eating, Yue Chan finally spoke,

"Lin Xi, there’s something that needs your help!"

"Is it about the three elders?" Using a piece of sect-specific scented paper to wipe his mouth, Lin Xi asked.

Yue Chan nodded, and the other four elders didn’t appear surprised either.

Obviously, they also knew Lin Xi could guess.

However, Yue Chan thought for a moment and shook her head, "It’s not just the three elders."

"There are five other elders as well!"

"Five elders?" Lin Xi pondered.

At this time, Elder Mei spoke, "It’s not just us three who got caught in the trap!"

"The other five elders in secluded cultivation also got trapped!"

Hearing this, Lin Xi nodded.

No wonder.

The three elders were honestly under Yue Ying’s control and dared not resist.

If they resisted, all the elders would perish.

Then the entire Leqing Sect would be in trouble.

Moreover, he suspected, counting the five unexposed elders, there were eight in total.

These eight were probably all the elders of the Leqing Sect.

"This is not a big problem!" Lin Xi said, "Just find an absolutely quiet place."

To him, removing Gu Poison was really not a big issue.

He didn’t even need to use the Nine Divine Needles of Heaven-Reversing to drive out the Gu Poison.

About half an hour later, the six of them arrived at the back mountain of the Leqing Sect.

Of course, this back mountain was absolutely a quiet place.

You could say, except for the Sect Leader, the elders, and a few disciples responsible for delivering meals, others were not allowed to come to this forbidden area of the back mountain.

This forbidden area was also where all the elders of the sect practiced closed cultivation.

After they arrived, they didn’t immediately call out the elders in closed cultivation.

Actually, those in closed cultivation were in a worse state than Elder Mei, Elder Ying, and Elder Shuang.

These three were allowed to rest the Gu Insects for Yue Ying’s use.

But in the forbidden area, she kept those Gu Insects active but not to the point of instantly killing the elders.

The elders had to constantly consume True Qi to suppress them.

Actually, this was also an agreement between Elder Mei, Elder Ying, and Elder Shuang with Yue Ying to ensure the safety of the elders.

Otherwise, Yue Ying would have already killed all these elders in closed cultivation.

"Just sit cross-legged on the ground!" Lin Xi said, and the three elders did not hesitate, immediately following his instructions.

After all, the entire sect was saved by him.

Thus, he had no reason to harm their sect.

Or even if he intended harm, he wouldn’t have to use this method.

Because his strength was so great.

"Will there be any major problems?" Princess Consort Le was still a bit uneasy.

Last night, they spent several hours rechecking the records to confirm it was indeed Gu Poison.

But to fully control it, relying on their own strength would still take several days.

However, Lin Xi’s miraculous performance yesterday made them have no choice but to believe.

They had never heard of someone who could control the Gu Insects within them just by touching them.

This completely overturned the accounts in the records.

And at the same time, it made them trust Lin Xi’s words even more.

Moreover, even if they could suppress or find some solution in a few days, the risk was tremendous.

Additionally, those fellow disciples in closed cultivation might not hold on.

Yue Chan also stared at Lin Xi, waiting for his reply.

Lin Xi gave the two women a reassuring look, then sat behind Elder Mei.

The small wooden box appeared in Lin Xi’s hand in a manner that was unnoticed by Yue Chan and Princess Consort Le.

At this point, they didn’t overthink it either.

The silver needles were inserted one by one into Elder Mei’s back, and in less than ten minutes, the needles on Elder Mei’s back began to tremble slightly.

Even under the strict watching eyes of Yue Chan and Princess Consort Le, Elder Mei did not move.

The next moment, they saw Lin Xi pressing several points on Elder Mei’s back.

Elder Mei’s brow furrowed as if enduring some painful experience.

Suddenly, her mouth opened, expelling a small black insect.

The insect looked sinister, about the size of a pinky finger.

Once it emerged, it immediately darted toward an unoccupied area.

"Kill it!" Lin Xi said.

The next moment, Yue Chan’s sword flashed, and the insect was sliced in two.

Instantly, it was dead beyond recovery.

Elder Mei’s complexion returned to normal, and she opened her eyes to look at the insect, as did the other two seated elders nearby.

"Is this the Gu Insect?"

Lin Xi nodded, not saying much, and removed the silver needles from Elder Mei’s back, then sat behind Elder Ying.

Repeating the same method!

At this time, everyone’s expressions were not as tense as before.

After all, Lin Xi’s previous method indeed looked very relaxed.

Of course, they surely couldn’t achieve such ease.

But one thing was certain: Lin Xi’s earlier statement about it not being a problem was truly accurate for him.

Thus, there were no more safety concerns.

Next, Elder Ying and Elder Shuang spat out an insect similar to the one Elder Mei had spat out before.

Both were also cut down by Yue Chan’s sword.

The elders in closed cultivation were also called out by Yue Chan while Lin Xi treated them.

However, when Lin Xi saw the five, a hint of doubt flashed across his face.
