Cultivation: The Heaven's Fated Useless Genius-Chapter 84 – The Truth about the Blood-Crying Infant Gathering Pill
"The Gu poison for breaking through cultivation was nothing more than a meticulously laid trap by the Nine Tribulations old thief..."
Ji Qin's withered body trembled slightly as he spoke with venomous resentment.
Back then, when Ji Qin had broken through to the Elemental Infant Realm, he was full of vigor. He immediately seized the opportunity to lead the witch soldiers to conquer lands while the chiefs of the other three villages had yet to break through in their cultivation.
In just ten short years, he expanded the territory governed by the White Tiger Witch's Village by more than double.
As the chiefs of the other three villages successively broke through, the four major Witch's Villages finally stood on equal footing, with the White Tiger Witch's Village becoming the most powerful of them all.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.
Ji Qin gradually discovered that his mood had drastically changed, becoming irritable and quick to anger.
Moreover, every day at noon, he would feel unbearably hot, his eyes emitting a chilling red glow, like a beast with a strong bloodthirsty urge.
At those times, he couldn't help but bite through the neck of a witch servant, drawing fresh blood, especially that of young, inexperienced women, which had a deadly allure for him.
At first, he asked the Nine Tribulations Witch King what was happening.
The other simply told him calmly that it was all normal.
Because the Gu poison was a product of seizing the creation of heaven and earth, forcibly boosting his cultivation to the Elemental Infant Realm.
So there were some deficiencies that needed to be compensated with the extremely yin blood, and it would be fine after a while.
Ji Qin believed him, so every noon he would feed on the women of the Witch's Village, indulging in bloodthirsty pleasure without restraint, naively thinking he would eventually return to normal.
However, what he didn't expect was that this bloodthirsty state persisted, and as the years went by, it only intensified, showing no signs of stopping.
In recent years, Ji Qin found that even absorbing new blood couldn't suppress the turmoil of the True Core and Elemental Infant within him.

His physical body was rapidly decaying and withering, not just declining but as if it had already died, rotting and wilting bit by bit.
For the past two years, Ji Qin tried to contact the Nine Tribulations Witch King, but the other seemed to have vanished, no matter how he searched, it was all in vain.
What terrified Ji Qin even more was that he felt the Elemental Infant within him had turned into a crimson demon infant, clawing and unruly, completely out of his control, erasing his spiritual soul and consciousness bit by bit.
Ji Qin couldn't imagine what kind of existence this mutated Elemental Infant would become once his consciousness completely disappeared!
"Cough cough..."
A violent cough racked Ji Qin's frail frame, and he spoke viciously, "If my guess is correct, this must be the Nine Tribulations old thief's treacherous scheme!"
Gu Feng was utterly shocked, suddenly thinking of Gu Kun far away in Heroic Spirit City in the Eastern Region, almost certain that the boy's experience was exactly the same as Ji Qin's!
No wonder the Nine Tribulations Witch King would travel such a long distance at Gu Huaisheng's invitation to help Gu Kun.
Where in the world would you find such a convenient thing?!
Not to mention what price Gu Huaisheng paid, the Nine Tribulations Witch King providing Gu poison to help Gu Kun break through in cultivation must have been with malicious intent!
He might even be targeting the Gu Family directly!
Gu Kun is now like a ticking time bomb planted by the Nine Tribulations Witch King in Heroic Spirit City, ready to explode at any moment, catching everyone off guard!
Thinking of this, Gu Feng broke out in a cold sweat.
Although he didn't know the exact purpose behind it, he had to admit that the Nine Tribulations Witch King's move was extremely clever.
"I know, Wenxuan will definitely lead troops back to the Witch's Village to seize the power of the chief..."
At this moment, Ji Qin didn't notice Gu Feng's unease, he struggled to support his body, slowly emphasizing, "You must tell him, never to trust any promises from the Nine Tribulations old thief, and not to follow in my footsteps..."
Seeing Ji Qin's desolate gaze, Gu Feng could feel his unwillingness and regret.
No matter who it is, being harmed like this without the ability to fight back would be immensely painful.

"Rest assured."
Nodding, Gu Feng said calmly, "I will definitely remind the Third Young Master to practice diligently and revitalize the White Tiger Witch's Village."
At this moment, Gu Feng was speaking sincerely, intending to support Ji Wenxuan in taking the position of chief of the White Tiger Witch's Village and then capturing the Nine Tribulations Witch King alive, this scourge.
As for the future, the White Tiger Witch's Village could relatively exist independently, serving as a cornerstone for Gu Feng's future campaign into the Northern Wilderness.
A slight relief appeared on Ji Qin's face full of decaying flesh. He knew his situation was beyond salvation, he only hoped his descendants could revive the Witch's Village, so he could die in peace.
"After I die, have Wenxuan quickly extract the Elemental Infant from my body to prevent any changes..."
Pausing, Ji Qin's eyes flashed with a sinister look, gritting his teeth, "As for this body of mine, just burn it to ashes, don't leave any benefit for the Nine Tribulations old thief!"
"If... I mean, if... Wenxuan can spare Xuanming and Xuanyang, let him do so for the sake of brotherhood, and spare their lives..."
Ji Qin chuckled bitterly, even he found it laughable to say such words.
In this world, there is never love without reason, nor hatred without cause.
The coldness and torment Ji Wenxuan suffered since birth were unimaginable to outsiders.
He endured countless humiliations and injustices without a word.
He struggled to cope with numerous crises and schemes.
Forgiveness is simple, but why must he be required to do so?
Without experiencing others' suffering, don't persuade them to be kind...
If the situation were reversed, Ji Xuanming and Ji Xuanyang would never spare Ji Wenxuan.
This is reality!
In the struggle for power, no one is truly innocent.
For the development of the Witch's Village, for absolute power in his hands, and for the long-term peace of the White Tiger Witch's Village.
Ji Xuanming and Ji Xuanyang must die!
Gu Feng remained silent, as if watching an ordinary old man arranging his affairs.
The atmosphere in the cave dwelling was inexplicably somber.
"Is there anything else you need to say, Senior?"
Gu Feng asked calmly, knowing this was his last meeting with the old chief, and there would likely be no opportunity to converse again.
Ji Qin's current demeanor was no different from most elderly nearing the end of their lives, besides arranging his affairs, he was more concerned and reluctant about his descendants.
"Nothing more..."
Ji Qin slowly lay down, his deformed shell deeply embedded in the bed, Gu Feng couldn't see his expression, only hearing the old man's hoarse, aged sigh.
"Alas... I fought all my life, never expecting this end... If there's a next life, I'd rather be born into an ordinary mortal family, working at sunrise, resting at sunset..."
With a deep bow, Gu Feng paid his last respects to a cultivation senior who defied the heavens.
He slowly exited the room, where a witch servant was tremblingly waiting.
The servant knew that every noon, the chief needed to feed on the blood of young women, and he had already prepared the best blood meal, just waiting for Gu Feng to come out and send it into the room.
Gu Feng ignored him and walked out of the White Tiger Cave on his own...
Outside the cave, a witch servant was driving two young girls, no more than thirteen or fourteen, into the cave dwelling.
Gu Feng knew these two girls would likely soon become Ji Qin's blood meal.
The cruelty of this world was evident.
Without strength, with a weak heart, even a peaceful death is an extravagant wish.
He looked up at the blazing sun, silently swearing in his heart.
"I won't be as foolish as you, my fate will be in my own hands! I will never be at the mercy of others!"
