Finally, one more point was also very crucial. If the "Twin Gu's" senses were not strong, and if they could not sense each other after being separated by just a few zhang, the result would be that they would either self-destruct in advance, or when this thing was refined into a human body, the connection would be cut off due to spiritual power obstruction and other reasons. That would be tragic for the two people.
It must be said that the word "love" confuses the human heart and can make people go crazy.
That Golden Core female cultivator, as if possessed, constantly researched. Failure after failure did not make her retreat in the slightest.
She was still unable to separate the "Twin Gu." Either she killed one in advance, or both died at the same time...
But she became more courageous with each setback. After nearly eight years, she actually successfully separated the first pair of male and female "Twin Gu."
After the two were separated, they should have both sensed each other's existence, so the "Twin Gu" did not self-destruct in the first instance.
But this joy only lasted for less than five breaths. After five breaths, the two "Twin Gu" became abnormally irritable.
Under the astonished gaze of the Golden Core female cultivator, they both exploded and died again.
But as long as they could be separated, this already made the Golden Core female cultivator extremely excited.
In the following three years, she continued to try and cultivate various refining techniques, and finally made an important discovery.
She just needed to refine the male and female "Twin Gu" separately onto the heart meridians of a pair of male and female living creatures, even of different species.
By refining the other party's Essence Blood into the "Twin Gu's" body, a mutation would occur due to the fusion, which could achieve the effect of deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea.
A pair of male and female "Twin Gu" would not self-destruct and die after separation.
However, the refining process here was very important. The time difference between the two "Twin Gu" entering the body could not exceed five breaths.
Otherwise, one of them would self-destruct first. This point was also quite harsh for using the "Twin Gu."
In this way, her preliminary plan was completed. The next step was to research and test the longest sensing distance between the two "Twin Gu."
If the sensing distance was too short, all her hard work over the years might be in vain.
The result made this Golden Core female cultivator overjoyed. Because the "Twin Gu" were separated from the same soul, even if they were separated by thousands of miles, the connection between them still existed.
From this, she could also roughly guess that the "Twin Gu" should be like the Soul Lamps in the sect. As long as they were on the same plane, the divine soul connection would probably not disappear.
After everything was done, this Golden Core female cultivator finally did use this technique on her Dao Companion, and her Dao Companion was completely unaware of it.
This matter was only accidentally discovered later after an accident.
After that male cultivator achieved great success in his cultivation, there were more women who admired him. Many years later, he really did fall in love with another woman.
After the Golden Core female cultivator of Never-Parting Peak tried to stop him several times to no avail, she, in her disillusionment, committed suicide in front of her Dao Companion and many others.
Under the astonished gazes of the others, while the male cultivator, whose cultivation had already reached the initial-stage of Nascent Soul, was still in a daze, his physical body suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
Although his Nascent Soul escaped in time and did not perish, he also knew that the other party had quietly done something to him.
And this kind of method already existed in Never-Parting Peak. It was just that this Nascent Soul cultivator's heart was extremely cold at this time, and he himself was unwilling to carefully recall the past.
His physical body had become a cloud of blood foam, and it was even more difficult for outsiders to find the root cause. For a time, this matter became a mystery in the hearts of many cultivators in the Malevolent Spirit Sect.
But due to the deterrence of that Nascent Soul cultivator, no one dared to investigate the reason.
And that Nascent Soul cultivator immediately went into seclusion to heal his injuries, ignoring outside affairs. Not long after, he quietly left the Malevolent Spirit Sect alone, and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since.
It has to be said that this Golden Core female cultivator of Never-Parting Peak was also a cultivation genius of her generation, but she was trapped by "love" all her life.
At that time, when Li Yan saw this introduction, he was also speechless about this Golden Core female cultivator. If two people's love could not be mutual, why force it to the point of death?
After the Golden Core female cultivator of Never-Parting Peak died, her Nascent Soul stage Dao Companion was already extremely angry with her and did not touch any of the Golden Core female cultivator's things again, until he later left quietly.
All of the Golden Core female cultivator's things were eventually inherited by one of her female disciples.
This disciple later, when sorting through her master's relics, discovered a secret cave that contained a breathtakingly large number of jade slips. The sheer number of jade slips left her dumbfounded.
At first, she thought she had obtained secret cultivation methods or pill formulas, refining methods, or something collected by her master, and was very pleasantly surprised.
But when she later looked at them, she was even more shocked. All the jade slips in the secret cave revolved around one thing: the insights and feelings her master had left behind from refining the "Twin Gu" time and time again.
And she also learned from them why her Nascent Soul stage martial uncle's physical body had suddenly self-destructed.
Looking at the jade slips piled up like a small mountain before her, that disciple was also speechless for a long time. What kind of person could have such an obsession with one thing?
After this matter, although this disciple of the Golden Core female cultivator still strictly kept the matter secret, as she established her own lineage and after she ascended, the matter was slowly spread.
Finally, others combined the Golden Core female cultivator's refining method and renamed this Gu the "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu."
It was just that this technique was quite insidious and vicious. As long as one did not clearly know about it, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would not be able to react in time to treat it.
The Malevolent Spirit Sect was afraid that the disciples in the sect would use this Gu to secretly attack their fellow disciples. By then, even if they knew, it would be too late. If they lost core disciples because of this, the price would be too great.
Therefore, in the end, they strictly ordered Never-Parting Peak to only research this technique for discussion and not allow their own disciples to cultivate it.
It wasn't until after several thousand years, and after generations of Never-Parting Peak disciples continuously improved the technique for refining the "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu," that the sect finally allowed the transmission of the refining technique.
Li Yan also knew about the improvements.
That was that the current refining technique had to be transformed into a special spiritual power cage and forcefully driven in. It could not be done silently without the other party's knowledge.
In this situation, as long as the other party was not controlled, anyone would know that someone had planted the "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu" in them.
In addition, the improved refining technique made it possible to remove a pair of "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu" after they were refined into the body, even without a cultivator above the Nascent Soul realm forcefully stripping them.
When the two bodies with a pair of "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu" were no more than three chi apart, another set of incantations could be used to eliminate the magical suppression on the "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu's" divine soul.
This would allow the pair of "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu" to resynchronize their divine souls, and then they would instantly fly out of the heart on their own and merge again into a true "Twin Gu."
Li Yan's memory of this strange Gu-insect was still fresh. He remembered that when he wanted to learn about the Gu-insects of Never-Parting Peak, it was Zhao Min who had lent him a lot of jade slips.
Among them was an introduction to the "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu."
It was just that Li Yan would never have thought that Zhao Min would also refine a "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu" and carry it with her.
The actual attack power of this type of Gu-insect was very weak, and its uses were very few. And the entire refining process was also extremely painful, requiring one to slowly nourish and fuse it with their own Essence Blood.
This was to take the opportunity to slowly adjust the divine souls of the two "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu" to begin to synchronize with one's own.
And the divine souls of this pair of "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu" would slowly develop a crack under this subtle influence, so that it could be successfully refined in one fell swoop at the right time.
Li Yan finally knew the meaning of Zhao Min's message. This was a result he had never been able to imagine.
For a moment, Li Yan's mind was buzzing. He would not be able to forcefully expel this thing until he reached the Nascent Soul realm.
When his own life would end was also completely out of his control. This was a situation that Li Yan had been most unwilling to see happen to him in the past.
"Why did Senior Sister plant this kind of thing in my body? For love? The feelings between us don't seem to have reached the point of life and death..."
For a moment, Li Yan was a little confused, and all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts flooded his mind.
After a full half an incense stick's time, after the initial worry, Li Yan began to calm down.
He raised his hand and pressed the jade slip against his forehead again. Zhao Min's cold and emotionless voice echoed in his mind over and over again.
Finally, Li Yan's mind settled on Zhao Min's sentence, "Many treatments were fruitless, and my life was in peril!"
After a long time, Li Yan put down the jade slip with a complicated expression. He had finally figured out the meaning of Zhao Min's words.
This was originally something that was easy to understand, but the problem should have been with the White Demon Clan Nascent Soul demon general that Zhao Min had pledged allegiance to.
This was what had forced Zhao Min to have to leave a hidden hint and a contingency plan.
The sentence "Many treatments were fruitless, and my life was in peril!" was a deep sense of helplessness after Zhao Min had taken him everywhere to find life-saving medicinal pills or methods.
It was just that Li Yan had somewhat ignored it at the beginning. This was the Forsaken Continent. Here, Zhao Min had no relatives or friends and would not get help from anyone.
She was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a female cultivator with not much strength.
Li Yan certainly knew what it meant for such a peerless female cultivator to be alone outside.
And there were only two ways to save him: either to rob, or to go to the market.
Once Li Yan thought this through, he quickly got more results. With Zhao Min's cultivation and appearance, the degree of danger was multiplied compared to Li Yan.
At every moment outside, she could encounter unexpected problems. Therefore, Zhao Min had long considered many consequences.
So she had planted the "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu" on herself and Li Yan in advance. If something untoward happened, at least there would be a better final outcome for Zhao Min, so that she would not become someone else's captive.
For example, if she encountered a Golden Core cultivator, in that situation, the probability of Zhao Min's demise would be very high.
If something happened to her, he, in his coma, would just be waiting to die anyway. In fact, there was not much difference, just a matter of a few days earlier or later.
And what was most feared was that Zhao Min would be captured alive. In that case, she might have a restriction placed on her by the other party and suffer all kinds of humiliation.
However, he, on the other side, without anyone to take care of him, would probably die soon. In that case, Zhao Min would also suddenly perish afterwards, saving her from subsequent humiliation.
Everything Zhao Min did was a move of desperation, burning her bridges.
"To face life and death together!"
Li Yan muttered to himself with a complicated expression.
At that time, if Zhao Min had abandoned him, as long as she acted carefully and hid her tracks, her own safety would of course be greatly improved. There would be no need to use the "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu."
As for why Zhao Min did not take out the "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu" after someone saved him, Li Yan could still guess Zhao Min's thoughts at that time.
One was that Zhao Min becoming a disciple and letting the Nascent Soul stage demon general treat him could be seen as a transaction. Zhao Min was preventing the other party from saying one thing and doing another.
If the other party secretly attacked him, or was detrimental to him later on, in this way, Zhao Min would be able to know his real situation without the other party's knowledge.
Even in the instant before his body exploded, Zhao Min would probably have some sense of it.
But in this way, Zhao Min's life would be tied to his. If he died in the future due to other matters, it would be difficult for Zhao Min to be spared.
Of course, the same was true for him. If Zhao Min died, Li Yan would die.
