Ancient Sorcerer did not look at Fang Miao, as all his attention was focused on Fang Daoming. At this moment, Fang Daoming was already gasping for air, reaching the most critical point.
Du Quan also fixed his gaze on Fang Daoming, understanding that Ancient Sorcerer hoped to make Daoming expel the Golden Silkworm from his stomach in this way.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Fang Daoming knelt on the ground, his hands pressed against the dirt. He felt a creature writhing inside his body, tearing through him like a hard Stranger cutting a "bloody path." Having faced life and death on the battlefield, what kind of pain had he not endured?
At this moment, the agony within his body left him at a loss for words to describe it. He wished he could faint, but it was impossible; instead, his mind remained painfully clear, with every ounce of suffering transmitted to his brain!
What made Fang Daoming feel even more tormented was the uncontrollable dry heaving!
First, he expelled everything from his stomach, then bile, and finally nothing at all, yet he continued to retch, as if his throat were on fire.
Suddenly, Fang Daoming felt all the blood in his body surge towards his head. His vision darkened, and his stomach contracted violently. An unprecedented wave of intense nausea surged up; with nothing left to vomit, he opened his mouth, and something suddenly slipped out of his throat.
“Vomit~~~~~~”
Fang Daoming did not know what it was. Instinctively, he opened his mouth, and the incoming substance fell out.
Fang Daoming had no idea what it was, but Du Quan and the others could clearly see that it was a dark-colored Blood Clot about the size of a fist!
As soon as the Blood Clot fell from Fang Daoming's mouth, it hit the ground with a "thud," splitting open and filling the entire Yard with a foul odor.
“Ah! What is this disgusting thing? Brother Tian, is this what you referred to as the Golden Silkworm!?”
Luo Tieniu walked to the place where Blood Clot had exploded, crouched down, and immediately saw a worm slowly crawling in the bloodstains.
"Yes, indeed."
The Ancient Sorcerer was seeing the legendary Golden Silkworm for the first time, which is also known as a Gu. It was not very large, only about the size of a grain of rice, but it radiated a golden light all over, like gold under the sun. At the same time, it also emitted a strange dark hue. The combination of these two completely different colors gave a chilling feeling.
Du Quan looked at the worm slowly moving in the bloodstains and didn't know what to say.
"This worm is inside my body?"
At this moment, Fang Daoming had slowly regained his senses. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that such a thing could happen to him—a living worm inside his body—while all the checks he had done earlier had failed to detect it. Was this miraculous or eerie?
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
Fang Miao rushed over at this time. She stared at Fang Daoming's face and noticed that although he still looked pale and lacked color, it was clear that his spirit had started to improve. Even the dark energy at the center of his forehead, Yintang, had disappeared, revealing a brightness.
Fang Daoming was taken aback; he had been so focused on the worm that he only now remembered his own body when his granddaughter asked him.
Slowly standing up, Fang Daoming was pleasantly surprised to find that his legs were actually strong. Slowly and with some hesitation, he took a few steps.
"Ha! It seems I'm better!"
Feeling the strength within his body, Fang Daoming excitedly waved his hand; this feeling hadn't been experienced in years!
"Really? That's great!"
Fang Miao was surprised to see her grandfather able to walk without assistance. However, just as she finished speaking, she saw Fang Daoming stumble and fall forward with a loud thud.
Startled, Fang Miao rushed over to help Fang Daoming up, then looked at the Ancient Sorcerer with a trembling voice, saying, "Ancient Sorcerer, what is going on? My grandfather was fine, so why did he fall again?"
Having just witnessed her grandfather walking on his own only to see him fall again, she was caught in a whirlwind of emotions, almost losing her mind.
"It's nothing; he just needs to rest a bit," the Ancient Sorcerer said with a hint of amusement. Fang Daoming had brought this upon himself. He was indeed better, but after being ill for so long, his body was extremely weak. Celebrating by waving his hands was just asking for trouble; it was perfectly normal for him to fall.
Fang Daoming forced a smile, realizing he had gotten too excited.
"It's fine; the Ancient Sorcerer is right. I haven't exercised in a long time, so I just stumbled."
"Fang Miao, help your grandfather back to his room to rest, and then find a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe something for him. He'll be fine in ten days or so."
Fang Daoming had been afflicted by the Golden Silkworm, but now that the golden egg had been expelled using Pomegranate Juice, he was already cured. The remaining task was just recovery, and the Ancient Sorcerer knew that Fang Daoming had access to skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, so there was no need for him to intervene.
"Okay, thank you."
Fang Miao nodded and helped Fang Daoming back toward the room.
After Fang Miao and Fang Daoming left, only the Ancient Sorcerer, Jiu Ye, Tie Niu, and Du Quan remained in the yard. Their attention returned to the Golden Silkworm lying on the ground.
"Brother Tian, this worm..."
Luo Tieniu poked the Golden Silkworm on the ground with a stick, and the insect before him looked weak and seemed harmless.
"Just kill it; this thing will harm people if left alive."
The Golden Silkworm has very little mobility after leaving the human body, but once it enters, it will drain a person's essence and blood, making it a deadly weapon that must be eliminated.
"Okay!"
Tie Niu picked up a hoe from the side and swung it down at the worm.
"Clang!"
A sound like metal striking metal rang out, and Tie Niu was momentarily stunned. It was just a worm; he had an iron hoe in his hand, and logically, that blow should have killed the worm!
But the reality was clearly different. The worm, which was hardly bigger than a grain of rice, remained completely unharmed and slowly crawled out of the dirt.
Luo Tieniu kept trying to get the worm onto a stone, then raised the hoe and began to pound it down with "bang bang bang."
"This time, you’ll definitely be reduced to dust!"
Luo Tieniu was very strong; with each strike, the stone was smashed to powder. How could that little worm escape?
But Luo Tieniu's face immediately fell, his eyes wide open like copper bells. From the powdered stone emerged a worm—it was indeed the Golden Silkworm spat out by Fang Daoming!
"Is it invulnerable to metal and fire?!"
Du Quan recalled a legend that said the cultivated Golden Silkworm, also known as Gu, had an extremely strong life force, impervious to water and fire, making it very difficult to kill. He had always thought that this was just an exaggeration by those who raised Gu to instill more fear in others, but he never expected to witness it with his own eyes today.
The Ancient Sorcerer was also somewhat surprised; it was his first time dealing with Gu, and he did not expect it to be so extraordinary.
"Tie Niu, find a bottle to put this creature in. We can deal with it another day."
Du Quan was eager to know how to kill the Golden Silkworm, but seeing that the Ancient Sorcerer had no intention of explaining, he had to suppress his curiosity.
"Mr. Luo, let's find a place to sit and have something to eat."
The Ancient Sorcerer had started treating patients as soon as he arrived, hardly having a chance to drink water. Now that Fang Miao had taken Fang Daoming to rest, Du Quan temporarily took on the role of host.
"Right! Prepare some food and drinks; we need to celebrate with a good drink."
Seeing that Fang Daoming was better, Jiu Ye was quite happy; after all, he was a brother who had fought alongside him through thick and thin.
"Ha! No problem!"
Du Quan laughed heartily and led the Ancient Sorcerer and the others outside.
