Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 486 Is there no way to cure the Gu poison in my sister's body?

If you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it at all.

Gu Qingyue listened carefully; the sound of water was there, but it was very distant.

"Could that be the rift valley?"

Feng Shuyan eagerly ran a few steps forward, stood on a large rock, and pointed at the waterfall.

He grew up in Meng County and had never heard of any legends about the abode of immortals.

He was so excited when he heard we were coming here!

He definitely wanted to go and see for himself.

Upon hearing this, the group also moved to the left and climbed onto the large rock.

Standing on high ground, one can finally see the bottom of the waterfall, which, sure enough, plunges into a bottomless crevice.

Clearly, the rift valley is not far away.

The group perked up and immediately headed towards the waterfall.

Just a few hundred meters away, a wide and deep rift valley stretched out before us, diagonally ahead.

Like a sharp sword piercing the hill in front, opening up a wide expanse of the earth.

The valley is magnificent, with lush greenery providing ample shade, and a wide river flows quietly into the unknown.

Towering trees rise from the ground, and amidst the dense greenery, vast expanses of colorful flowers cover the entire valley like a torrent.

Like a magnificent landscape painting of wildflowers, it suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

The visual impact left everyone stunned for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, completely silent.

"What a beautiful place," Xiao Nian broke the eerie silence.

Gu Qingyue nodded. She had to admit that it was somewhat like the prehistoric landscape maps she had seen in movies when she was a child. There was no trace of human activity at all. It seemed to be the original state of the earth, full of wildness.

Mu Yun Chu turned to look at Gu Qing Yue, and Gu Qing Yue was also looking at him.

"This should be it," Gu Qingyue said softly.

Mu Yunchu nodded. "We should be able to find it by following the riverbank."

The two exchanged a glance, their understanding unwavering.

What followed was a difficult and long journey.

Two days felt like two years. The rift valley was teeming with snakes, insects, rodents, and poisonous vines—everything imaginable and unimaginable was incredibly poisonous.

There were naturally some who were injured or poisoned, but fortunately, Gu Qingyue's medical and poison skills were no longer what they used to be.

Many of the powders and pills she had prepared came in handy.

Finally, after rounding a tall, continuous mountain and passing through a large swamp, a wide-open plain appeared before everyone's eyes.

As you continue along the valley floor, dozens of houses of varying sizes come into view.

The valley is shrouded in mist, with lush flowers and plants, and houses appearing and disappearing in the distance. This must be the Valley of Immortals.

"We've arrived," Gu Yuanen stared at the house in the distance, his eyes narrowing dangerously. "Is that saintess really here?"

As he was speaking, he prepared to step forward again, but Gu Qingyue grabbed his arm.

They were currently in a slightly elevated area, with jagged rocks surrounding them, obscuring their view.

"Let's wait and see," Gu Qingyue understood Gu Yuanen's feelings all too well, but it was still best to be cautious.

In particular, from this distance, she could see that there were quite a few people patrolling the area.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanen stopped in his tracks. "Little sister, it's getting dark. Shall we wait until it's dark before going in?"

Gu Qingyue looked at Mu Yun Chu, "What's your opinion?"

“Then let’s wait until it gets dark before we take action,” Mu Yun Chu nodded.

So everyone sat down where they were; after walking for so long, it was a good time to rest.

Gu Qingyue sat down next to Mu Yun Chu and lowered her voice, "Let me take a look first."

"Hmm," Mu Yun Chu glanced around and saw that everyone was resting with their eyes closed. He immediately sat up straight, blocking Gu Qing Yue's view.

Gu Qingyue found it amusing. She wasn't doing anything, so why was she afraid of being seen?

In an instant, mental energy was released.

Gu Qingyue's eyes quietly scanned the maximum area she could reach.

Shenxian Valley truly lives up to its name.

In the vast valley, the houses are built very tall and sturdy, many of them made of marble, either jade-colored or black, solid and mysterious.

She looked around and immediately noticed a woman in white.

He was around thirty years old.

Others were either inspecting the fields, reading, making medicine, cleaning, or watering the herb fields.

The woman, however, lay on the ground, her face covered in cold sweat, screaming in pain.

Gu Qingyue looked around. The door to the house she was in was ajar. It didn't look like a dungeon or anything like that, and there was no one guarding it.

What's even stranger is that people pass by the door from time to time, their expressions indifferent, but no one goes in to take a look.

She was the only one struggling on the ground, trembling all over.

Gu Qingyue felt a little sorry for her, but then she remembered her current clothes and realized that she was likely a lackey and accomplice of the Wizard's Hall, so she felt relieved.

At this moment, in Gu Qingyue's eyes, the woman struggling was none other than Nian Yuwei.

Her poison has taken effect.

It was all because Lao Wu sent a message back to Songzhou that the antidote for the Crimson Blood Gu had been stolen, and all the valuables in Changsheng Garden had been looted.

This news could only be reported to the Holy Maiden by her.

As expected, he wasn't beaten today, but the saintess's medicine powder triggered a Gu poison.

Now, it feels as if a million poisonous insects are gnawing inside her body, making her want to die, but she ultimately doesn't have the courage and can only endure the torment.

She closed her eyes, thinking that she had been in pain for more than an hour, and that it would pass if she just held on a little longer. She gritted her teeth and couldn't hold back her tears.

She was just a walking corpse, she thought.

"Sister Wei," a familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Gu Qingyue was originally planning to go look around elsewhere, but unexpectedly saw a chubby little girl quietly push open the door and slip inside.

She became interested again.

"Sister Wei, can you still hold on?"

The little girl glanced around discreetly, and finding no one, immediately reached out and helped Nian Yuwei up, leading her to the couch next to her.

Nian Yuwei just fell off this bed because it was in so much pain that she couldn't control her body at all.

"Xiao Yuan, what...why are you here?" Nian Yuwei's teeth were chattering as she spoke.

Xiao Yuan? That's quite fitting for her name. Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow and continued reading.

"Grandma Yu said you didn't eat anything at noon, and then in the afternoon... she sent me to check on you," said the girl named Xiaoyuan, her eyes reddening.

She reached into her pocket, pulled out a paper packet, and stuffed it into Nian Yuwei's hand. "Sister Wei, have some."

"Thank you for me, thank you Grandma Yu. I'm fine, I'll get through this," Nian Yuwei said, squeezing Xiao Yuan's hand and the paper package.

She has neither the appetite nor the energy to eat right now.

Seeing Nian Yuwei's pained expression, Xiao Yuan wiped her eyes and said, "When will this end? The Gu poison in my sister's body..."

Xiao Yuan said in a low voice, "Is there really no way? Is the Crimson Blood Gu really that powerful?"
