Upon opening the jar, she saw numerous small insect corpses inside and her face instantly fell. Da Bai roared at the little girl, then with a flash in its eyes, its massive paw struck towards the girl like lightning. The little girl caught Da Bai’s tiger paw with a counter-grab, displaying immense strength as she flung Da Bai away. With a thud, the White Tiger’s body smashed into the ground. The little girl pouted, "Are you asking for a beating? When I left the mountain, you sneakily followed me. And if you were going to follow, just follow, but why keep launching surprise attacks? How many times has it been now? You never learn." Da Bai rolled over on the ground, then got up and bared its teeth at the little girl with a menacing growl. The little girl sighed, "Do you take after your tiger dad or your tiger mom? If I didn’t find being alone too boring, just based on your temperament, I’d have no choice but to slap you to death." After saying that, she rolled up her sleeves. Da Bai zipped to the side in an instant, but this made her laugh, "You’re hopeless." She then picked up the rough clay jar from the ground, dumped out the dead insects, and opened another jar which contained many live ones. This young girl was naturally Dong Huiying, who had left Taihang Mountain a month prior. She was recently studying the Poison Gu Art. Back on Three Finger Peak of Taihang Mountain, some memories had unexpectedly surfaced in her mind, revealing that she was under the influence of a Gu Insect. Combined with meeting Dong Dabao’s mother at the time, she didn’t know how to face her feelings and left in low spirits. She decided to capture some poisonous insects to see if she could refine Gu from them. Since Taihang Mountain had too few poisonous creatures, but the neighboring Qingfeng Mountain in Qingfeng Prefecture was famously abundant with them. She had caught quite a few insects here, but unfortunately, most of their poison wasn’t strong enough. She then had the brilliant idea to concoct her own poison and feed it to the insects. During this month-long period, she attempted Gu Refinement many times but only succeeded eleven times. Dong Huiying wondered if her low success rate meant she lacked talent in this area? What she didn’t realize was that her achievements were already quite defiant of the heavens. Other Gu Refiners usually received legacies and had elders teaching them, taking every advantage, but they could only refine twice at most in a month because each refinement process was exceedingly long. Before evolving into Poisonous Gu, the toxicity of the little insects varied. Although Gu Refinement emphasizes survival of the fittest, she was skilled in medical arts, and the paths of medicine and poison originally stemmed from the same root. Using her medical skills to create poisons, feeding and then evolving these poisonous insects into Gu, despite many failures within a month, she succeeded eleven times. If other Gu Refiners knew of this, they would be utterly astonished. Furthermore, Dong Huiying had once seen a reference to the Poison Gu Art in a classic text on mysterious studies, but it had no detailed instructions—she was merely groping her way across the river by feeling the stones. While other Gu Refiners were benefiting from the groundwork laid by their predecessors, Dong Huiying was practically creating a system of her own, finding the evolution techniques for the Gu Insects herself. When compared, it was clear to see who was stronger and who was weaker. Taking out a few small insects from the clay jar, she fed them some water mixed with poison powder, then left them inside the jar without further attention. Murmuring under her breath, she summed up her failed experiences, which aimed to improve her Gu Refinement success rate in the future. Afterward, she took out a small porcelain bottle and released a beautiful, colorful butterfly.
