Chapter Fifty-One: Golden Silk Wasps

  This young man looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old, somewhat resembling Murong Yong, but his face had no blood color and was basically in a semi-dazed state. As soon as Gu Yun came out, Murong Yong immediately went up to him and said: "Mr. Gu, please help me take a look at my son's condition. He has been like this for half a year, and I have taken him to see over ten doctors, but none of them can cure him. I don't know if Mr. Gu can lend his expertise, no matter the outcome, I will be eternally grateful."

  Ancient Cloud looked at Murong Yong's worried face as he gazed at his son, and thought to himself, "No matter what kind of person this is, at least he's a good father." He then spoke up, "Lord City, these are unnecessary words. Saving people is our duty as medical practitioners; how can we not treat someone who is ill?"

  Murong Yong was overjoyed as soon as he heard this and exclaimed, "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Then, he led the young man towards his original residence, with Gu Yun following slowly behind.

  Arriving at the young man's room, Gu Yun had him lie down on the bed and then grasped his right wrist. The power of the yuan god slowly seeped into every corner of the young man's body. The condition of the young man's body was clearly presented before Gu Yun's eyes. As soon as he saw the situation inside the young man's body, Gu Yun immediately exclaimed "Golden Silk Wasp", and his voice even carried a hint of surprise.

  "What is Golden Silkworm", Murong Yong asked with great puzzlement. However, it also made him feel very surprised, because in the past when he took his son to see those doctors, none of them could say what disease his son had contracted, and now Gu Yun could say it out loud, how could it not make him feel surprised?

  He thought of Murong Yong's old age and his son, who was usually cherished like a treasure, but unexpectedly fell into a coma six months ago and became the current state of being awake and asleep at times. This made Murong Yong anxious, taking his son to see doctors everywhere every day for half a year, almost running through all the medical practitioners' homes in the realm, but no one could say what was wrong with his son. The medical practitioner from Huichun Realm couldn't even be seen, so he had no choice but to bring his son back here, looking at his son who was half asleep and half awake every day, Murong Yong's heart was filled with pain. Until the appearance of Gu Yun, he saw a glimmer of hope, now Gu Yun really found out his son's condition, he was overjoyed in his heart. He even thought that as long as Gu Yun could cure his son, no matter what requirements were made, as long as he could do it, he would definitely do it, even if he wanted to be the city lord, he would let him take over.

  "Golden Silk Worm is a type of worm that specifically parasitizes the human brain, relying on absorbing human spiritual energy to survive. Moreover, it can release a gas that bewilders people, causing them to hallucinate and live in an illusory world day after day. As time goes by, the person being parasitized will eventually die from exhaustion of their vital energy. At this moment, the Golden Silk Worm will emerge from the brain of the person being parasitized and continue searching for its next target."

  Muyong Yong hastily grasped Gu Yun's hand and said, "Mr. Gu, do you have any way to treat this? As long as you can cure him, I'll agree to any condition you set."

  Looking at Murong Yong's anxious face, Gu Yun's heart also trembled. If he were in the same situation, his parents would probably be just as worried. He shook his head and said, "To cure Lord Murong's illness, it's not impossible, but it's not easy either."

  "Oh, Mr. Gu said it's all true." Murong Yong said with a joyful face.

  "This Golden Silkworm has a special characteristic, if the person it's parasitizing doesn't exhaust their energy, it won't come out. To lure it out, Young Master must die." Gu Yun said.

  "Ah, is there really no other way?" Upon hearing Gu Yun's words, Mu Rongyong, who had just been beaming with joy, suddenly turned ashen and sat down. He hadn't expected that after all the discussion, his son would still have to die.

  "Murong Cheng, don't worry too much. When I said that the young master must die, it's not really death, but a fake one. The purpose is to lure out the Golden Silk Wasp." Upon hearing Gu Yun say this, Murong Yong's ashen face finally regained some color. He hastily asked: "Fake death, how do we do it?"

  "It's actually quite simple, just make the Golden Silkworm feel that there is no more energy in Young Master's body for it to absorb, and it won't stay inside his body anymore."

  "How can I make him feel that there is no energy left in my body?" As soon as he heard that his son was saved, Murong Yong immediately regained his spirit.

  "This is a bit troublesome, to extract your son's soul from his body, the Golden Silk Wasp will come out quickly, and then it can be caught." Gu Yun said with a furrowed brow.

  "Mr. Gu, if there's any trouble, please speak up. I'll do whatever it takes to make it happen, even if it means going all out." As soon as he heard that Mr. Gu had some trouble, Murong Yong hastily spoke up, not wanting to let the opportunity to cure his son slip away after finally finding someone who could help him.

  "Murong Chengzhu must also know that it's not difficult to extract the soul from the body, but putting the soul back into the body is a different story."

  Murong Yong nodded, cultivators before reaching the stage of enlightenment, their souls have not solidified and cannot freely enter or leave the body. Therefore, to draw out their souls, one must use the primordial spirit to guide them from the spiritual sea, just like Gu Yun did when treating the two women last time. Moreover, it can only be guided into the spiritual sea; otherwise, it would not be easy to let the soul re-enter the body. Murong Yong naturally knew this and asked after a moment of contemplation: "Does Mr. Gu have any good methods?"

  "In order to draw out the soul of Lord Gongzi from his body, it must be done by someone close to him whose yuan shen enters his body. Otherwise, he will resist instinctively. Therefore, this task can only be carried out by Mu Rong City Master. After City Master draws out Lord Gongzi's soul into your body, City Master will immediately use your yuan shen's power to cut off all external perceptions, so that the Golden Silk Wasp cannot sense where Lord Gongzi's spirit is. Then, my yuan shen will draw out the Golden Silk Wasp. At that time, it will be enough to simply return Lord Gongzi's soul back into his body."

  "Alright, I'll do as Mr. Gu said." Murong Yong didn't say another word and agreed to it right away, which surprised Gu a little. By doing so, he had put his and his son's lives in Gu's hands. Because during the time when Gu would be extracting his son's soul, he wouldn't be able to make any moves, so if Gu were to make a move against them at that moment, he could only watch helplessly. It seemed that he really cared about this son of his, Gu thought to himself.

  "Since that's the case, let's get started now. Just remember, the shorter the time it takes to lure Young Master's soul out of his body, the better, in case that Golden Silk Wasp catches up." Seeing Mu Rong Yu's urgent appearance, Gu Yun didn't say anything else.

  He nodded, and Murong Yong helped his son sit up, and he himself sat cross-legged opposite him. As soon as they were seated, a stream of golden energy emerged from Murong Yong's brow, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a person who looked exactly like Murong Yong, shining with golden light. This person nodded at Gu Yun before entering through his son's brow, while Murong Yong's son merely trembled all over for a moment before calming down again.

  Gu Yun watched from the side, holding a jade bottle in his hand, which was used to hold the golden silk bee. In just a few short breaths, Mu Rong's primordial spirit emerged from his son's body and transformed into a golden light, re-entering his own body. Gu Yun also inserted his own primordial spirit power into his son's body at this time, and then immediately withdrew it. As expected, a fine golden light that was almost invisible to the naked eye shot towards Gu Yun along with his primordial spirit power, its speed as fast as lightning, even Gu Yun was shocked, if he hadn't been prepared, he might have been caught off guard. He raised the jade bottle in his hand and cast a seal at the mouth of the bottle, instantly, a massive suction force emerged from the small mouth of the jade bottle, and the golden light that followed Gu Yun's primordial spirit power was immediately sucked into the small jade bottle. With a flick of his wrist, Gu Yun sealed the bottle with a closure spell and stored it in his cuff.

  Just as Gu Yun put the jade bottle into his cuff, Murong Yong's primordial spirit also sent his son's soul back to his body. Although he couldn't speak or move, he was still aware of everything outside. That flash of golden light, he knew it wouldn't be easy to dodge even if he wanted to. Seeing Gu Yun effortlessly collect it, he became even more convinced of Gu Yun's identity as a senior expert who had achieved rejuvenation. In fact, whether it was Weng Yuan and the others or the current Murong Cheng, they all regarded Gu Yun as that kind of senior expert who had achieved rejuvenation. Because the abilities Gu Yun had displayed so far were something they had never heard of anyone possessing at his age. So as soon as he opened his eyes, Murong Yong bowed to Gu Yun and said: "Mr. Gu's kindness in saving my son is etched in my memory, I won't forget it even if I lose all my teeth. If Mr. Gu has any instructions for me in the future, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not decline." He was now extremely eager to curry favor with Gu Yun, and in his opinion, Gu Yun was at least a late-stage physician, someone he normally found it difficult to meet even once, so how could he let slip this opportunity that had presented itself?

  Gu Yun smiled and said, "No need to be polite, Master Murong. I'll still be staying here for a while, and there will be many places that require your care later on."

  Wish you all a happy National Day!
