Ye Qing took the black pill without any hesitation and swallowed it directly into his stomach, without considering whether the Gu God might harm him.
In fact, given Ye Qing's current situation, the Gu God had no need to harm him. The twin Gu larvae in his body had already started showing signs of hatching. If the Gu God really wanted him dead, he just needed to wait an hour and Ye Qing would succumb to the twin Gu larvae. Why bother to harm him deliberately?
After taking the black pill, the Gu God took out some silver needles and began acupuncture treatment on Ye Qing. Ye Qing barely managed to hold on at first, but after a while, his eyelids felt increasingly heavy. Before long, he slowly drifted into sleep.
Seeing Ye Qing completely asleep, a gleam flashed in the eyes of the Gu God. He did not continue treating Ye Qing but instead picked up Ye Qing's Seven-Star Ancient Sword and slowly caressed it.
