Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Luo and Li Yan went upstairs to change their clothes and came down to see Qin Ming walking in.

Chu Luo glanced behind him and asked in surprise, “Where’s Anya?”

“Making a call.”

Qin Ming shut his mouth after saying that. When the two of them came downstairs, he said to Li Yan, “That group of people has already entered XX Desert.”

XX Desert was also known as the Desert of Death. If a person wanted to go to the legendary ruins of the Loulan Ancient Kingdom, they could only pass through the desert. If they drove a helicopter, they could only see yellow sand in the sky and couldn’t tell the direction.

Nowadays, everyone would usually drive an off-road vehicle or a motorcycle when they went over. However, halfway to the Loulan Ancient Kingdom, they would pass by the?Karst¹?landscape and the death sand dune. Without a guide, no outsider would usually be able to walk out of these two places.

Even with a guide, there was a high chance that those who went there wouldn’t be able to return.

Even so, in the face of absolute benefits, there would be people advancing one after another.

Li Yan said, “Find a way to bring that Gu Master back before they enter the Karst landscape.”

“Okay.”

After saying that, Qin Ming turned around and walked out of the door.

He had just walked to the door when Anya came in with the phone.

When Anya saw Qin Ming, she snorted at him. It was obvious that she was still bearing a grudge against him for making her do the horse stance just now.

Qin Ming expressionlessly walked past her.

Anya walked in and wanted to say something to Chu Luo, but when she saw Li Yan standing beside her, she shut her mouth.

Chu Luo looked at her strangely. “Say what you have to say.”

Thinking that Li Yan should know anyway, Anya said, “My older brother said that he’s coming to the capital today.”

“Isn’t he going to look for that ancient tomb? Why is he here in the capital?”

“He heard that I was here, so he wants to come here and see me. He even asked if I wanted to hang out with him.”

At this point, Anya’s expression was a little complicated. “I was crazy to follow him to explore the ancient tomb.”

Chu Luo smiled when she heard this.

At this moment, the butler brought someone in to serve breakfast.

The three of them walked towards the dining table.

As Chu Luo walked, she asked, “Since your brother is coming to the capital, you should go back to the embassy, right?”

Anya didn’t want to go back, but she wasn’t close to her brother at all and didn’t want him to stay here. She nodded and said, “Yes.”

After breakfast, Anya left.

Chu Luo also went to the villa at the back.

In the morning, she and Elder Hu walked around the herb garden. Just as she was about to go to the laboratory, she suddenly received a message.

Chu Luo took out the message and said to Elder Hu happily, “Grandpa Hu, the herbs we’ve been waiting for have arrived.”

“Really! Where is it? This is great!”

“I’ll get the butler to help me collect the parcel.”

After saying that, Chu Luo called the butler.

The two of them stood in the front yard for a while before the butler walked over with a box.

“Miss Chu, your package.”

Chu Luo quickly took it and walked into the villa with Elder Hu.

When they reached the living room of the villa, Elder Hu couldn’t wait anymore. “Little Chu, open it here and let me take a look.”

Chu Luo nodded and carried the box to the coffee table. She opened the package. The herbs contained in special equipment actually looked like they had just been plucked.

Elder Hu took out his reading glasses and magnifying glass from his pocket and studied them carefully for a while. Then, he laughed out loud. “Not bad, not bad. This herb looks exactly like what’s recorded in the books.”

“Then let’s try it now.”

“Try! As long as this is the real thing, we might succeed in the experiment soon.”

As the two of them spoke, they took the herbs and walked towards the herbs refining room.

They stayed there from morning until past four in the afternoon.

When the smell of the medicine was finally completely masked, the four people in the laboratory laughed.

“That’s good. We just have to wait for this herb to be sent in large batches before we start the experiment.”

“If the experiment is successful, our experiment can undergo clinical trials.”

“Haha.”

Everyone was very excited and was full of enthusiasm as they experimented.

For the next two days, they did experiments on animals. The success rate of the experiments went from 30% to 50%, then to 80%, and finally to 95%.

In the past two days, the news that the exact location of the legendary ancient tomb had been confirmed had spread throughout the capital and even the entire upper-class circle of the empire.

In order to stop everyone from having designs on the ancient tomb, the Duanmu family had continuously issued a few orders to stop anyone from entering except the national archeological team.

However, who could care so much now?

In the past, the Duanmu family and the Qin family were the only ones with power. Now that the Qin family needed a large amount of money to turn the tables, the other families wanted to take the opportunity to wash their cards.

This time, countless people surged towards the northwest desert from all directions.

Early on the fourth day, Chu Luo received a call from Professor Tu.

Professor Tu told her on the phone, “Little Chu, I’ve already told the higher-ups what you told me last time. The higher-ups have decided to send more people to protect us, so we’ll leave today.”

What else could Chu Luo say? She only said, “Professor Tu, be careful when you go over.”

With that, the two of them hung up.

When Chu Luo went downstairs, she realized that Qin Ming was also reporting this matter to Li Yan.

Qin Ming said, “There are already dozens of batches of people rushing over. The first batch to enter the desert has already reached the Karst landscape.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she quickly asked, “Have you caught the person who cast the Gu poison on Teacher?”

“No,” Qin Ming said.” The Gu on that person is too powerful. Even though our people used your Invisibility Talisman, they were poisoned by his Gu when they approached him.”

“There’s actually such a powerful Gu poison master in this world?” Chu Luo frowned.

“That person is the most powerful Gu poison master in Southern Xinjiang.”

“Where are the people who were poisoned by the Gu poison?” She wanted to see how domineering the Gu poison master’s Gu poison was.

“They have been sent out of the desert and are now staying in a small town at the edge of the desert.”

historical

“How did the people who were poisoned by the Gu react?”

“It’s like all the capillaries in their bodies have ruptured. They’re bleeding all over.”

As she walked downstairs, Chu Luo frowned as she thought about what Gu could possibly cause this reaction. When she walked down, she sat beside Li Yan and said to him, “Yan, show me the exact situation of that person.”

Li Yan nodded and initiated a video call on his laptop.

The video call was picked up quickly. A man with a crew cut and a masculine face was seen standing there straight. He was wearing a pair of shorts and a dark-colored bedsheet that was dyed even darker by blood. Even so, one could feel the blood flowing from his body through the screen.

That person greeted respectfully, “Master, Miss Chu.”

Li Yan nodded at him.

Chu Luo said, “Take off the bedsheet and get closer to show me.”

The man lifted the bedsheet and immediately revealed his strong body that was bleeding non-stop.

“Can you feel anything wrong with your body?”

“There seems to be worms crawling inside my body. Wherever I go, more blood will flow.”

Chu Luo already knew what Gu worm it was and asked him, “Did you bring XX and XX medicine along when you went over?”

“Yes.”

“Apply those two medicines on your body. When you feel where the worms in your body are..”

At this point, Chu Luo asked, “Do any of you know how to cure Gu?”

“Yes, but he can’t cure this Gu.”

“Very good. Get the person who knows how to cure the Gu to do this..”

When Chu Luo ended the video call with the person on the other end, it was already more than ten minutes later.

After turning off the video, she thought for a while and said to Li Yan, “Looks like I have to meet that Gu Master personally.”

Li Yan didn’t want her to participate. He thought for a while and said, “Let Neeson’s robot go over first and see if it can bring the person over.”

When Chu Luo heard this, her eyes lit up. “How did I forget his robot?”

Li Yan stood up and pulled her up. “Go have breakfast first. After you’re done, I’ll talk to Neeson about renting his robot.”

“Okay.”

After the meal, Li Yan left first.

Qin Ming didn’t follow.

Chu Luo was about to walk towards the villa behind when she received a call from Anya.

Anya complained to her on the phone, “Chu, I’m going crazy. My brother has been dragging me around every day since he arrived. My legs are almost crippled.”

Chu Luo asked casually, “Where did you guys go?”

Anya: “The National Museum, all kinds of famous ancient sites, and old alleys in the capital. He clearly said that he would leave in two days. For some reason, he suddenly changed his mind. Not only did he not leave, but he even said that he would hold a banquet to invite the famous young masters and young mistresses of the capital to attend the ball tonight.”

Chu Luo said straightforwardly, “Is he preparing to hold a blind date dance?”

Anya agreed. “I think so too! My brother is really baffling. He obviously wanted to go to the tomb to join in the fun, yet he suddenly wanted to hold a banquet.”

Chu Luo said, “Maybe he has other motives.”

Anya: “I don’t care what his motive is. I’m going back to the villa. I’m bored to death staying here.”

Chu Luo replied, “Up to you.”

The two of them hung up.

Chu Luo put away her phone and looked up to see Qin Ming’s expressionless face.

Chu Luo asked him with a look, “Is something the matter?”
