Chapter 502: Chapter 503: Seeking an Audience with King Miao

Mu Lin looked at Lin Chen at this moment, his eyes filled with an ardent expression, ”Mr. Lin, you just said you have detoxified the Heart-Eating Poison, then why do you say the Gu Poison has not been resolved?”

Lin Chen smiled and said, ”The Miao King gave Mu Ling two kinds of Gu Poison, one is the Heart-Eating Poison, and the other is Bone-Breaking Poison. The Heart-Eating Poison is not hard to resolve, but the Bone-Breaking Poison requires a certain medicinal ingredient, which I don’t have, so I can’t resolve it.”

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Mu Lin gasped in astonishment, this fellow was simply monstrous to have such mastery over the Miao King’s Gu Poison.

”Mr. Lin, if that’s the case, is there no hope for Ling’er?” Mu Lin asked with an ugly expression on his face.

Lin Chen sighed and said, ”To untie the bell, the one who tied it must be the one to untie it. Whether the poison can be detoxified depends on Mu Ling’s fate.”

After all, Mu Ling’s Bone-Breaking Poison had seeped into the marrow, so Lin Chen did not dare to delay and immediately drove Mu Ling’s Audi A8 towards Miao Village.

In the car, Mu Ling was filled with shock.

”Mr. Lin, I remember now, I went with that girl to see an old man, could it be that the old man is the Miao King you mentioned?”

Lin Chen let out a wry smile, ”That should be the case. You’ve hooked up with a pretty awesome girl, the Miao King’s granddaughter. It’s strange that you’d be poisoned if you dumped her.”

Mu Ling also showed a helpless face, ”Actually, I didn’t really want to dump her, but the thought of living in that small mountain ravine with her for the rest of my life, I couldn’t bear it, though I actually like her a lot.”

Lin Chen sighed and said, ”Forget it, everything is up to your fate now. I’ve saved your life for you, but whether you can keep your leg, that’ll depend on whether they can forgive you or not.”

After all, the Miao King was a grandmaster in the Ancient Martial Arts World of China, and Lin Chen respected him greatly.

Therefore, if the Miao King did not agree to detoxify the poison, Lin Chen would not start a fight with him. This time, Lin Chen was indeed intending to treat Mu Ling’s Gu Poison, but another important reason was to make the acquaintance of this Miao King.

The car slowly left the highway, ahead was a bumpy mountain road.

After following the rugged mountain road for over an hour, the car slowly entered a small mountain village.

Lin Chen looked toward the small mountain village, which still maintained a simple folk custom, the village was still in a primitive state.

At that moment, Lin Chen’s gaze suddenly fell on an isolated house at the foot of the mountain.

That house was no different from the other houses, even somewhat dilapidated.

However, a cold murderous aura permeated from within that house, even Lin Chen felt an extreme sense of danger.

Lin Chen got out of the car and pointed to that civilian house, asking, ”The house that girl took you to that day, was it this one?”

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Mu Ling was startled, his face showing a shocked expression, ”How do you know?”

Lin Chen smiled slightly, ”This house is isolated and at the foot of the mountain, suggesting the owner is very special, and the guardian god of this mountain village. There’s only one person who fits that bill, and that is the Miao King.”

Listening to Lin Chen’s words, Mu Ling’s face tensed, ”Mr. Lin, I dumped his granddaughter, the old man won’t let the Gu insects eat me alive on sight, will he?”

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one is scared of well ropes for ten years, at this moment Mu Ling was terrified to his bones by the Gu Poison.

Lin Chen snorted coldly, ”Since you had the guts to start this, you should be brave enough to bear the consequences, that’s what being a man is all about.”

With that, Lin Chen walked straight towards the thatched cottage.

Although Mu Ling was fearful, he still steeled himself and followed.

As Lin Chen walked along the path, his brow furrowed.

The cottage appeared tranquil, indistinguishable from an ordinary pastoral scene, but both the ground and the plants were teeming with Gu poison.

If Lin Chen had not possessed the ”Vitality System,” he would have already been poisoned by now.

Accompanied by Ling’er, Lin Chen approached the door of the cottage and gently knocked, ”Excuse me, Lin Chen seeks an audience with the Miao King.”

After a while, a series of coughs came from inside, followed by an elderly voice, ”Come in!”

Lin Chen, together with Ling’er, pushed open the door and walked into the cabin, where he saw an old man squatting on the floor, fiddling with a pot of small plants under the dim lamplight.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Miao Shan appeared startled, his gaze filled with a hint of shock.

After all, his doorstep was set with a Gu formation, meaning once someone entered the vicinity of this house, the Gu would have been planted within their body.

However, when Miao Shan’s gaze fell upon Lin Chen, he was amazed to find that there were no signs of Gu poisoning on him.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Miao Shan asked Lin Chen in a calm voice, ”May I know why the young master has sought me out?”

Bowing slightly in respect, Lin Chen replied, ”Senior Miao, this young man has been poisoned by your Gu, and I realize there may have been some misunderstandings in the past, I hope you can give him a chance and cure him of the Gu.”

Miao Shan’s eyes landed on Ling’er and suddenly his pupils dilated sharply.

”The Gu in your head has been cured, who did it?” Miao Shan asked in shock.

Lin Chen offered a faint smile, ”It was I who cured it, Senior Miao. Ling’er was in critical danger, and I had no choice but to intervene.”

You!” Miao Shan’s gaze swept up and down over Lin Chen.

”Was it truly you who cured my Gu poison?” Seeing Lin Chen’s youth, Miao Shan asked again.

It should be noted that Miao Shan’s Gu poison was the result of decades of meticulous blending, presumed to be incurable by anyone other than himself. He had never imagined that this young man could actually neutralize his Gu poison, and he found his curiosity about Lin Chen growing.

Lin Chen nodded and said, ”Indeed, it was I.”

Lin Chen had always held great respect for Miao Shan, not out of fear but because Miao Shan had once single-handedly driven the martial artists of eight nations out of China—such heroism was worthy of Lin Chen’s respect.

”Now tell me, how did you cure it!” Miao Shan demanded, keeping his gaze fixed on Lin Chen.

Lin Chen recounted the steps he took to cure the Gu, and upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Miao Shan suddenly burst into laughter.

”So it is, my Gu poison can indeed be cured in that way. You’ve done well, lad; to cure Miao Shan’s Gu poison, you are the first in the world.”

”It was merely a stroke of luck,” Lin Chen replied with a smile.

Miao Shan waved a hand dismissively, ”I knew you were no ordinary man the moment you entered; no one can penetrate my Gu formation, yet you walked right through it without being infected by my Gu poison, which proves you are extraordinary.”

”Thank you for the compliment, Senior Miao, but about curing the Gu...” Lin Chen looked at Ling’er, who was visibly anxious, and inquired.

Miao Shan cast an icy glance over Ling’er, his voice cold, ”Had it been someone else, I might have considered your request, but his Gu poison, I cannot cure.”

Hearing Miao Shan’s words, Ling’er’s face turned ghostly pale, and even Lin Chen was taken aback.

”Senior Miao, though Ling’er has erred in his actions, he has since shown remorse and acknowledged his mistakes, so I beseech you to be magnanimous and forgive him,” Lin Chen continued to plead on Ling’er’s behalf.

”No can do!” Miao Shan rejected the request without room for negotiation.
