Assisting the male protagonist to become a god: The first spiritualist

Chapter 578 Life-Giving Gu

Hearing the fairy attendant's words, Fu Sheng said, "No need."

She knew Huaijin wouldn't be able to accept it, but she didn't expect him to leave so decisively.

For the next few months, Fusheng dealt with matters in the Immortal Realm.

Since the March Blood Incident, the strength of the Immortal Realm has been greatly reduced. If the Demon Clan takes advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack, it will be extremely difficult to deal with.

However, before the demons could take action, trouble struck the immortal realm again.

One after another, alchemists and artifact crafters died inexplicably; more than a dozen died in just one week.

Alchemists and weapon refiners are the lifeblood of the immortal realm, especially alchemists. If they die, the most direct consequence is a shortage of healing pills, which greatly reduces the chances of immortals and gods surviving in battle. This loss to the immortal realm is even more devastating than the loss of so many immortals and gods during the Three Blood Moons incident.

The God Lord's alchemy and weapon crafting skills were no less than any of those in the Immortal God Realm. Fu Sheng personally examined the corpses of those immortal gods who had died suddenly and finally discovered that the Gu they had been afflicted with was an extremely rare Gu species called Fu Sheng.

Once the Gu worm is introduced into the body, it will parasitize the host's body for up to three years. During these three years, the host's body will be no different from that of an ordinary person, and the Gu worm will not affect the host in the slightest. However, once the three years are up, the host will die instantly without any chance of survival.

In other words, this scheme was set up three years ago, and these alchemists and artifact crafters were already under the influence of the "Life-Giving Blessing" three years ago.

—A traitor has emerged in the realm of immortals and gods, and now is merely the time for the other side to close the net.

There is an antidote for the Life-Giving Gu, but it is extremely difficult to make because the raw materials are very scarce. With the raw materials currently collected in the Immortal Realm, at most ten can be made. The most terrifying thing about the Life-Giving Gu is that when it lies dormant in the host's body, it does not show any symptoms at all. Before it fully erupts, it is impossible to know whether the host has been infected by any means.

In other words, unless all the alchemists and weapon crafters who haven't yet experienced an outbreak are given the antidote, there's no way to be completely at ease.

There are over two hundred alchemists and artifact crafters in the immortal realm, but the raw materials for creating life-giving items are far from sufficient.

"It's over, it's over... What are we going to do? Five more alchemists and weapon crafters have died today, including Elder Yun. Elder Yun is a god-level alchemist..."

"Now, more and more alchemists and weapon crafters are dying every day. If this continues, in less than a month, all the alchemists and weapon crafters in our Immortal God Realm will be dead."

"I've heard that the Life-Giving Gu is extremely difficult to cultivate, with only one being able to be raised every hundred years. Who on earth is this, and how could they cultivate so many Life-Giving Gu?!"

"Sigh, are we just supposed to sit here and wait to die?"

Inside the hall, several divine ministers offered various opinions.

Fu Sheng has already made the matter of the Life-Giving Gu public, and now everyone is in a state of panic, with a somber atmosphere throughout the hall.

"Alright." Fu Sheng looked a little tired. She rubbed her temples and interrupted the discussion among the immortals and gods. "I will find a way to get the antidote. I will be away for a while, and the Divine Palace will be temporarily managed by the Divine Judgment Bureau."

"Is Your Majesty searching for the immortal herbs needed to create the Life-Giving Gu? These past few days, I've sent all my apprentices out to search. The most difficult herb to find for creating the Life-Giving Gu is the Fallen Flower, which only blooms once every ten years. All the Fallen Flowers that have grown in the world are already in the Divine Palace; there are no other Fallen Flowers left. Even if Your Majesty goes out to search, you won't be able to find them," said an old man with white hair who looked quite advanced in years.

He is Elder Crane, who manages the Pill Sect in the Divine Palace, and is the only person in the entire Immortal God Realm whose pill-making prowess can rival that of the God Lord.

Of the ten antidotes for the Life-Giving Gu that she had made, Fu Sheng gave one to Elder He to take first. As for the remaining nine, she asked Elder He to distribute them to the nine most outstanding alchemists who were still alive.

“It’s alright.” Fu Sheng’s expression remained unchanged as he listened to Elder He’s words. “There is still a way to get the antidote.”

"Ah?" Old Crane's eyes widened in surprise.

Fu Sheng didn't say anything more, but lowered her eyes to hide her emotions.
