My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife-Chapter 478: Wild Gu Poison
```
Huh?
Qin Yu looked at the Red Crystal in Phoenix's hand, shimmering with flowing radiance, and revealed a doubtful expression.
He couldn't help but blurt out, "But why did you deny being sick last night and even hurt me?"
Thinking about it, that slap he got was really unjust!
"Heh... If I had admitted you were right at that time, it would have meant that everyone present would know that the Red Crystal would end up in your hands. Do you think you could have kept the Red Crystal safe with your current condition?"
Phoenix curled the corner of her mouth and said with a cold laugh.
"Uh... makes sense!"
Qin Yu nodded.
He had seen the situation then; those people were crazy for the Red Crystal and nearly everyone wanted to claim it for themselves.
If they knew it would eventually be in his possession, he probably would have been killed and robbed that very night.
It had to be said that not only was Phoenix stunningly beautiful, but she was also extremely meticulous in her thinking.
The core disciples from such top powers were certainly no fools.
"So, what exactly is wrong with me?"
Phoenix's wrist flipped, and the Red Crystal disappeared. She looked at Qin Yu indifferently, as if to test him.
"I can only tell that you don't have long to live. As for the specific illness, I need to take your pulse!"
Qin Yu steadied his mind and said.
Although the Red Crystal was in Phoenix's hands, curing her to get it was definitely not going to be easy.
If it had been some minor illness, Divine Doctor Du would have been able to identify it at that time.
Therefore, Phoenix's illness must be extremely tricky, which is why she was willing to offer a precious Red Crystal to seek a cure.
"Good!"
Phoenix gently pulled at her sleeve, revealing a section of her snowy white and delicate wrist.
"Then please excuse my forwardness!"
Qin Yu knew that the greater the power, the more rules there were. Phoenix being so young was likely unmarried, so it was better for him to be more cautious.
Then he extended his index and middle fingers and gently placed them on Phoenix's wrist.
It was very smooth and also cool to the touch, which probably had something to do with her illness.
After about two or three minutes, Qin Yu frowned and withdrew his fingers.
"How is it, what's wrong with me?"
Phoenix asked softly with her lips slightly parting.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're not sick... you've been poisoned by Gu!"
Qin Yu said somewhat uncertainly.
Because it was only after meeting Miao Xian'er that he knew of Gu poison, and having stayed on Leigong Mountain for a while, he was relatively familiar with it.
But he was far from being an expert.
"Oh..."
Phoenix was noncommittal and after a few seconds, nodded, "You're right, I am indeed poisoned by Gu. Do you have a way to remove it?"
"This... may I make a phone call to ask my friend? She's from Miaojiang and very skilled in Gu techniques," Qin Yu said, showing an embarrassed expression.
If it were any other problem, he could pretty much handle it with the Peach Blossom Nine Needles. But Gu poison was too mysterious, and he didn't dare to boast carelessly. If he couldn't handle it in the end, given the temper of these people, he would get a beating at the least, or at worst, it could cost him his life.
"Miaojiang?"
Phoenix showed a slight disdain, "It's just us... never mind, what's the point of telling you? Go ahead and ask!"
"Okay!"

Seeing that Phoenix seemed to know about Miaojiang, Qin Yu couldn't help but wonder if there was some connection between her and Miao Xian'er that Miao Xian'er didn't know about.
Forget it, he would make a trip to Leigong Mountain during the New Year and perhaps Miao Dongfang would know something.
After making up his mind, Qin Yu took out his mobile phone and dialed Miao Xian'er's number.
Beep beep...
After two rings, Miao Xian'er's surprised voice came through, "Qin Yu, don't tell me you're planning to come to Miaojiang!"
"Heh, I wanted to ask you something!"
Qin Yu said with a smile.
```
"Hmm, go ahead!"
Miao Xian'er crisply said.
"I've encountered a... patient here, she's been struck by Gu poison, her pulse is extremely weak, it seems like her life signs could fade away at any moment. Do you know what kind of Gu this is?"
Qin Yu asked with careful wording.
"Could it be... the Soul-Separating Gu? I've only read about this kind in ancient texts, no one on Leigong Mountain breeds this type of Gu. It's even more formidable than the Golden Silkworm Gu I have in my hand."
Miao Xian'er wasn't entirely certain.
"Wait a moment..."
Qin Yu put down his phone and looked at Phoenix, "Are you affected by the Soul-Separating Gu?"
"That's correct!"
Phoenix nodded slightly.
"Yes, Xian'er, it is the Soul-Separating Gu. Is there a way to extract it?"
After receiving an affirmative response from Phoenix, Qin Yu picked up his phone again and asked.
"Hmm... The Soul-Separating Gu likes to hide in soft, warm places, absorbing the essence of the person stricken by the Gu. If you can locate exactly where the Soul-Separating Gu is hiding, you could lure it out with fresh blood,"
Miao Xian'er said after thinking for a while.
"Uh... Don't we need to find the person who cast the Gu?"
In Qin Yu's experience, to remove a Gu, one must first find the person who cast it, and only with their cooperation could the Gu be removed.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so thoroughly dealt with by Miao Xian'er previously.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, the Soul-Separating Gu only exists in the wild, no one has successfully tamed it. So, there's no such thing as a Gu caster in this case."
Miao Xian'er explained.
"Alright, I've got it. I have something to do now, I'll hang up first!"
"Hmm!"
After Qin Yu hung up the phone, he couldn't help but feel speechless.
This Phoenix was truly out of luck, having been struck by wild Gu poison.
Actually, so-called Gu poison is created by cultivating natural poisons like snakes, centipedes, scorpions, geckos, and toads together in a vessel, allowing the last survivor to become the Gu.
Of course, this is just entry-level Gu. Like the most powerful Golden Silkworm Gu in Miao Xian'er's hand, it was definitely cultivated with a special secret technique.
So, the existence of wild Gu poison is not surprising.
"What did your friend say?"
Seeing Qin Yu zone out a bit, Phoenix took the initiative to ask.
"She said that the Soul-Separating Gu is found in the wild and likes to hide in the soft and warm parts of the human body. If you can find its hiding place, it can be lured out with fresh blood,"
Qin Yu snapped back to reality and shared the information he had learned.
"I know about this method, I've tried it, it's useless!"
Phoenix frowned slightly, shaking her head, a trace of disappointment in her eyes.
"What if, I could use silver needles to trap the Soul-Separating Gu in place?"
Qin Yu knew the reason why Phoenix said "it's useless" was that the Gu poison was alive and would quickly move around the body when sensing danger, only causing more pain to the afflicted person.
The only method was to use the Silver Needle Technique to close off nearby acupoints, creating an impenetrable barrier to trap the Gu, after which the rest would be easy.
"I've sought out many skilled Divine Doctors, who are adept with silver needles. Still no use!"
Phoenix still shook her head.
"What about the Peach Blossom Nine Needles?"
Qin Yu was also feeling anxious inside. If the Peach Blossom Nine Needles were of no use either, it would mean he and this Red Crystal weren't fated to be.
"Peach Blossom Nine Needles? You've learned it?"
Phoenix's eyes lit up momentarily; she, too, knew of the Peach Blossom Nine Needles.
"Hmm, my grandfather taught it to me!"
Qin Yu nodded.
"Then it's worth a try."
Hope flared in Phoenix's eyes.
"But where on the human body is the softest and warmest?"
Qin Yu's gaze landed on Phoenix's slender and graceful figure, estimating the softest part on a woman's body, which must be around her chest, right?
