Chapter 26 Demon Blood Jade

Zhao Mu had naturally heard of the rumors that the current queen had a special physique that could extend the life of the new Emperor Chu.

Back then, he had discussed this matter with Hua Xinzi and Jiang Hongyun.

But he didn't pay too much attention to it at the time.

After all, if the new Chu Emperor prolongs his life, living to be over a hundred years old will be nothing to him.

It's just that he didn't expect that the rumor would actually destroy Zheng Jing's family today.

"The older people are, the more they fear death, and I am no exception. In order to extend my life, I started secretly investigating the queen a year ago."

"I discovered that the queen is not named Zheng Meng at all. Her true identity is Wang Daoquan's daughter Wang Mengzhen."

"Wang Mengzhen once got a piece of demon blood jade when he was a child. Legend has it that it was made from the condensed blood of demons."

"Under the influence of that strange demon blood jade, Wang Mengzhen's physique has changed unknowingly as she grows older, which can extend the life of the man who sleeps with her all year round."

At this point, Zheng Jingren suddenly punched the wall with his fist: "I am really too greedy. After getting the news about the demon blood jade, I was so obsessed that I sent someone to sneak into the queen's palace to steal it."

"As a result, the demon blood jade was not found, but the queen discovered that I was investigating her."

"What I didn't expect was that that dead old woman turned into a feathered monster that night and rushed into the house and killed my whole family."

"Of course, what the old witch wanted to kill most was me. Unfortunately, I escaped through a secret passage and disfigured myself to pretend to be a beggar."

"In the past three months, the old witch has been sending people to track down my whereabouts. She thought that I had already escaped from the capital, but she never thought that I have been in the capital all the time, even near the Zheng family's house."

"Hahaha, if the old witch knew this, I'm afraid she would be mad, right?"

Zheng Jingren became more and more excited as he spoke, with strong hatred and regret bursting out of his eyes.

After all, he killed his entire family because of greed.

"Why!"

Zheng Jingren let out a long sigh: "Brother Zhao said back then that I have been fighting for my future with my life, and one day I will die because of it."

"I had won too many fights, so I didn't listen to his advice at all. As a result, I finally lost the last time, and my whole family was killed and silenced."

"If I had known this earlier, I would never have wanted to extend my life, let alone steal some damn demon blood jade."

"It's a pity... there's no turning back." Zheng Jingren fell silent.

Zhao Mu patted him on the shoulder and said no words to comfort him.

At this time, what others say is meaningless.

Only those who have truly experienced it will understand the hatred of annihilation.

He asked: "What are your plans next?"

"Can I still be saved?"

"I can allow you to live for up to three more years. After all, the damage caused by the demonic energy can only be completely solved by immortal cultivators of the same level."

"Very good. Life is rare in the past seventy years. I am already over seventy years old. I will be lucky if I can live for another three years."

"Then do you want revenge?"

"Are you asking me if I want to kill the queen?"

Zheng Jingren's eyes were cold: "Hey, don't say that I don't have the ability to kill the queen. Even if I have the ability, I won't do it."

"Why?" Zhao Mu was confused.

"Because she will feel more uncomfortable alive than dead."

Zheng Jingren's eyes smiled ferociously: "I know that the queen's recent changes occurred because her body was aging and could no longer withstand the power of the demon blood jade."

"She has been favored by others since she was a child and has enjoyed a lifetime of glory and wealth. Especially during the years she has been a queen, she has long been accustomed to being aloof and regards herself as the most noble person in the world."

"Such a person suddenly turned into a monster one day. I can almost imagine that she must be living in fear every day."

"Why did she kill my whole family? Isn't it because she was afraid that her secret would be leaked and that the world would know that the noble queen was actually a monster?"

"Hahaha, I want her to live. I am in panic every day. I worry every day that my secret will be leaked."

"Whenever I feel happy, I will reveal her secret to the world and make her despised by everyone in the world, hahahaha..."

Zheng Jingren laughed loudly.

It was as if he wanted to let out all the regrets he had accumulated for three months at once.

Smiling and laughing, he cried again.

At the age of over 70, he cries as sadly as a child.

"Let's go. I'll find a place for you to stay first. As for future plans, we'll talk about it some time later."

Zhao Mu shook his head, helped Zheng Jingren and left.

The two of them came all the way to Banyue Street.

Zhao Mu rented an independent courtyard and settled Zheng Jingren.

Today, Zheng Jingren has disfigured himself and is not afraid of being recognized.

As for treating Zheng Jingren, Zhao Mu did not take action immediately.

After all, Zheng Jingren was injured by evil spirit. This kind of injury must be carefully studied before he dared to take action.

It was not until two months later that Zhao Mu finally determined the treatment method.

In a secluded room.

Zheng Jingren calmly sat cross-legged on the bed.

Zhao Mu instructed: "Wait a minute and I will use silver needles to seal the 108 vital points all over your body to prevent the evil spirit from backlash."

"After that, I will use my true energy to build a channel in your body and slowly guide out the demonic energy entangled in your internal organs."

"This process is tedious and dangerous, so you must cooperate with me wholeheartedly, otherwise you will definitely die once the evil spirit riots, understand?"

"I understand." Zheng Jingren nodded seriously.

"Okay, let's start."

Zhao Mu opened the needle box, which contained hundreds of silver needles stacked in layers.

He moved as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, 108 silver needles accurately pierced 108 acupuncture points.

Then he took a deep breath and injected the innate true qi into Zheng Jingren's body, forming a true qi channel between his palm and his internal organs.

Finally, he took out the jade Gu nest of Shengwen Gu and let Zheng Jingren hold it in his hand.

As if feeling a delicious meal, the mother Gu of Shengwen Gu in the Gu nest suddenly felt a strong sense of excitement.

The next moment, the Gu nest suddenly produced a small but strong suction force, which actually sucked out the evil spirit in Zheng Jingren's body slowly along the true qi channel.

As soon as the evil spirit entered the Gu nest, it was swallowed by the mother Gu inside.

Zhao Mu clearly felt the satisfaction from the mother Gu. It was obvious that it liked this kind of power from the same demon.

One hour... two hours... five hours...

This process lasted for a whole day and night.

It was not until the evening of the next day that Zhao Mu finally stopped the treatment.

At this time, about 80% of the demonic energy in Zheng Jingren's body had been sucked out.

As for the remaining 20%, it had penetrated into the bone marrow and completely merged with Zheng Jingren's body, and could no longer be guided out.

Zheng Jingren was so tired that he fell asleep.

Zhao Mu covered him with a quilt and checked the mother Gu's condition, and found that the mother Gu had fallen into a deep sleep.

He could clearly feel that the mother Gu had begun to grow at an astonishing speed after swallowing the demonic energy.

It is estimated that after waking up, the mother Gu should be able to advance to the best in advance and become a demon.

"This is really an unexpected surprise." Zhao Mu smiled.

Some remaining demonic energy can make the voice-hearing Gu advance in advance, which makes him very interested in the queen's demon blood jade.

If I get the demon blood jade, can I use the demon energy in it that is higher than the martial arts level to find a way to embark on the immortal road?

Zhao Mu had some expectations in his heart.

But this matter cannot be rushed.

Let’s not talk about the queen herself, how strong she is after being demonized.

Just say that there is a master sitting in the palace, and my current cultivation level is not strong enough to enter and exit the palace safely.

Don’t worry, the old witch will get older and older, and one day she will be completely unable to withstand the power of the demon blood jade.

I have plenty of time to wait, and it’s not too late to plan then.
