The Peddler's Exclusive Technique

Zhang Gunli really didn't expect Feng Chongli to come. He just wanted to win over the number one talented woman in Pro State today and have a good night with Shen Rongqing. He didn't expect Shen Rongqing to risk her life and put on such a good show for him.

This was indeed a well-executed show. Zhang Gunli had received news of Ma Wu's death before he came, and he took it seriously. When he came to collect the debt, Zhang Gunli was caught off guard.

But being caught off guard doesn't mean he'll suffer a loss. Over the years of collecting debts, Zhang Gunli has encountered countless unexpected situations. Surprised as he was, Zhang Gunli wasn't too worried.

Looking at Feng Chongli, Zhang Gunli smiled slightly, "Zhang Gunli and Feng Chongli, we both have the character 'Li' in our names. Although our Daoist sects are different, our methods of doing things are quite similar."

At this point, Zhang Gunli paused for a moment, his tone becoming more serious. "Brother Feng, what's going on? We're both businessmen, it's just a little money, why are you making such a fuss with me?"

He Jiaqing shook his head and said, "That's not just a little money. When Brother Feng told me the amount, I felt sorry for him."

Zhang Gunli stretched out his right hand and pointed at He Jiaqing: "Kid, this is no place for you to speak, and you won't have the chance to speak again."

After saying that, Zhang Gunli continued to look at Feng Chongli: "When we lent you the money, we clearly stated the rules regarding the interest rate. If you think my offer is too high, you can just not borrow from me. I didn't force you to lend me the money, did I?"

Now you say you can't pay it back, but that's not entirely unnecessarily unresolved. If you say a few kind words to me, do you think I'd drive you to your death?

He Jiaqing chuckled, "Zhang Gunli, how many people have you driven to their deaths over the years?"

"He Jiaqing, I just told you, you have no right to speak here!" Zhang Gunli pulled out an IOU from his pocket. He had many IOUs in his hand, some from new business deals today, and others from debts dating back hundreds of years. But Zhang Gunli could tell which IOU belonged to whom with just a flick of his wrist.

"Brother Feng, this IOU is yours. I've put it here. Now, kill He Jiaqing, and I'll tear up this IOU immediately. We'll be even from now on."

Otherwise, I'll demand the debt from you right now, and if you can't pay it back, don't blame me for being ruthless!

As soon as the words were spoken, puffs of smoke rose from the IOU.

Feng Chongli felt his limbs were heavy and he couldn't move for a while.

With Loan Cultivator and Debt Mountain Overwhelming, Feng Chongli felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, restricting his movements in every way.

Feng Chongli wanted to use Merchant Cultivator Skill to break the Debt Mountain Overwhelming technique, but Zhang Gunli saw through his intention.

Zhang Gunli casually scratched a mark on the IOU, and Feng Chongli couldn't use any of his techniques.

Loan Cultivator skills, Scraping Bones and Drawing Sinews.

"Brother Feng, you owe me money, and you still want to fight me? Do you think you're tough enough? Do you believe I can just scrape off a couple more layers and kill you?"

I'll say it again: if you kill He Jiaqing, this matter will be considered closed; otherwise—"

Midon!

Whoosh!

He Jiaqing pulled a lever, and the floorboards on the second floor of the mansion opened to both sides.

The entire floor was covered in silver dollars, which poured down like water onto the first floor. If Shen Rongqing hadn't dodged quickly, he might have been seriously injured.

He Jiaqing looked at Zhang Gunli and said, "Brother Feng has paid back the money he owed you."

Zhang Gunli was pleased, not expecting He Jiaqing to be so well prepared. Even if He Jiaqing produced a check, Zhang Gunli could deny it and say that the check was fake.

But with silver dollars right in front of him, Zhang Gunli couldn't just lie through his teeth.

There was no doubt about their authenticity; both Feng Chongli and Zhang Gunli could distinguish the purity of the silver dollars. However, Zhang Gunli could not accept the payment, otherwise he would lose control of Feng Chongli.

Zhang Gunli said, "Old Feng, let me remind you, you're robbing Peter to pay Paul. Paying off my debt is useless; you still owe He Jiaqing money, and you still have to pay that back. That kid is even more ruthless than me!"

"If you just kill He Jiaqing, you won't have to pay me back. I'll just tear up the IOU. That's the only way to address the root cause!"

He Jiaqing laughed and said, "You think you can just tear it up like that? What if you turn your back on it later? Who will Brother Feng complain to then?"

Zhang Gunli's face darkened. "He Jiaqing, I've said it twice, this is none of your business—"

He Jiaqing said, "You have no right to speak now. All your words are just empty talk; I've put real money right here!"

These words were meant for Feng Chongli's ears. The two had agreed beforehand to join forces against Zhang Gunli, but anything could happen before the battle. If Feng Chongli changed his mind, He Jiaqing wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Now that He Jiaqing has paid off Feng Chongli's debt, let's see how Feng Chongli will respond.

Zhang Gunli returned the IOU: "Old Feng, it's not that I don't want to take your money, but I haven't counted the amount yet. I can't give you this IOU until I've counted it."

1

Zhang Gunli planned to delay, but Feng Chongli refused to back down.

"When it comes to counting money, we're both experts. This amount is more than enough. Money and Goods Cleared, and neither of us owes the other anything. Brother Zhang, if you try to cheat me again, then you're in the wrong."

The IOU in Zhang Gunli's hand suddenly caught fire, and Feng Chongli's Money and Goods Cleared technique came into play. Whether Zhang Gunli agreed or not, the money was considered to have been repaid.

Without the IOU, Zhang Gunli lost control of Feng Chongli, but he still had the confidence to control the situation.

The techniques of Loan Cultivator largely rely on IOUs, but there are also plenty of people who, after repaying the money and taking back the IOU, want to turn their backs and seek revenge.

Even without the deed, Zhang Gunli had other means. He calmly continued negotiating with Feng Chongli: "Brother Feng, you've already paid back the money, and the IOU has been destroyed. It seems this matter has nothing to do with you anymore."

He hit the nail on the head.

You can't blame him for being insidious, because what he said was indeed reasonable. Feng Chongli had solved the debt problem and no longer needed to fight for He Jiaqing. He could leave at any time. If it were someone like Zhang Gunli, he really could do such a thing.

But Feng Chongli was different. "I run a legitimate business, unlike you who lend money at exorbitant interest rates. I value integrity in business. Lao Zhang, just lend me your head so I can repay the favor to Young Master He!"

As Feng Chongli flicked the abacus beads, with a series of crackling sounds, Zhang Gunli's flesh and blood exploded layer by layer.

Merchant Cultivator Skill Full Calculation.

Feng Chongli was calculating the score, while Zhang Gunli was getting beaten. The faster they calculated, the harder they were beaten.

Despite his body being covered in blood and gore, Zhang Gunli remained calm, and dozens of silver coins flew up from around him as he rushed towards Feng Chongli.

This is Loan Cultivator technique, Money Offering Treasure, which means that the Loan Cultivator service actively gives you money to spend.

This technique is extremely vicious. Some people are wary of Loan Cultivator and won't lend money to them regardless of what they borrow, but this trick can be used to force them to lend money.

These silver dollars are now all Zhang Gunli. Once they hit Feng Chongli, the silver dollars will immediately penetrate his flesh and enter Feng Chongli body. Even if they are loaned out, because there is no loan agreement, the binding force on Feng Chongli will be weaker.

However, in a fight at this level, any restraint could lead to certain death. Feng Chongli immediately abandoned his Full Calculation tactics and swiftly dodged the silver coins thrown by Zhang Gunli.

These dozens of silver dollars caused Feng Chongli a lot of injuries, but fortunately he was still quite agile and didn't let a single silver dollar penetrate his flesh.

Zhang Gunli was also injured, but when he touched the two walnuts in his palm, all his wounds healed rapidly, and he was completely fine.

Feng Chongli looked at the walnut in Zhang Gunli's hand. Zhang Gunli twirled the walnut around twice and said, "I have this magic weapon; you can't hurt me in the slightest."

I see him rubbing these two walnuts every day, but I never knew what they were for. I never imagined they were so powerful.

It would be difficult to seize the magic weapon from him, but if he couldn't take it, he couldn't harm Zhang Gunli. Feng Chongli was pondering a solution when he suddenly heard He Jiaqing say, "Brother Feng, don't be fooled. Those two walnuts aren't magic weapons; they're his warehouse keys."

His wounds healed because he had a new set of skin and flesh. He has plenty of skin and flesh stored in his warehouse. Brother Feng, keep hitting him. Let's see how long he can last.

1

Feng Chongli flicked the abacus beads, and his skill in Full Calculation once again fell on Zhang Gunli.

This technique may seem simple, but it is actually extremely difficult to defend against and is one of the killer moves of the merchant.

Zhang Gunli parried the techniques while glancing at He Jiaqing, surprised that this young man knew so much about him.

Those walnuts were indeed the keys to the storeroom. Zhang Gunli could borrow flesh and blood, and naturally he needed to repay it with flesh and blood as well, so he stored some flesh and blood in his storeroom.

But these flesh and blood could not withstand the wear and tear of skill. With one kick from Zhang Gunli, the mountain of silver coins in the room flew up.

The technique of Money Offering Treasure couldn't control so many external objects, which puzzled Feng Chongli. He muttered to himself, "Is this Strength Cultivator Skill?"

Zhang Gunli laughed, "Good eye! I can borrow the cultivation of a hundred schools, so naturally I can use the methods of a hundred schools. Brother Feng, watch closely, a single silver coin hitting you could be the death of me!"

Avoiding the silver dollars wasn't difficult; what worried Feng Chongli was Zhang Gunli's next move.

He Jiaqing said, "Brother Feng, don't overthink it. He's not after you; he wants to use these silver dollars to kill me."

Zhang Gunli nodded. "You talk too much and cause too much trouble; you really deserve to die."

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver coins flew towards He Jiaqing, but before they could even touch He Jiaqing, they all fell to the ground.

Zhang Gunli testified, only to see He Jiaqing laugh and say, "You don't know the techniques of a hundred schools; you've used a magic weapon to cultivate with force. The Loan Cultivator sect has rules: external things are shared, but cultivation remains unchanged."

What you've accumulated—including gold, silver, magical treasures, flesh and blood, internal organs, and bones—are all external possessions. If you want them, keep them; you're responsible for the profits and losses.

The only thing related to cultivation is that you can only lend it out; you can't use it yourself, including techniques and combat power. This is an ironclad rule of your Daoist sect. Am I wrong?

While fighting Zhang Gunli, Feng Chongli listened to He Jiaqing explain Zhang Gunli's fighting tactics.

This benefited Feng Chongli greatly, and during their exchanges, he had already come up with many strategies to deal with Zhang Gunli.

Zhang Gunli forced Feng Chongli back and looked at He Jiaqing, saying, "Young man, just how much effort have you put into seeking revenge against me?"

He Jiaqing laughed and said, "It would be worth all the trouble to take your life."

Zhang Gunli cracked a walnut, and a man and a woman descended from the sky, attacking He Jiaqing from the left and right.

He Jiaqing stood still and did not make a move. He watched as the man and woman approached, but instead of attacking He Jiaqing, they began to fight each other.

The man tried to hit He Jiaqing, but the woman instead attacked the man.

He Jiaqing laughed and said, "Lao Zhang, these are a pair of craftsmanship puppets, right? Since you don't have craftsmanship skills, you can only let them do things according to their own abilities. I do have craftsmanship skills, so these puppets are mine now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the male puppets stopped fighting and stood obediently beside He Jiaqing.

These puppets were made by Chu Shaoqiang. Chu Shaoqiang has recently fallen on hard times and urgently needs money. He borrowed money but can't repay it, so he can only use these puppets to pay off his debts.

Without proper crafting techniques to control them, these puppets can only fight on their own, essentially making them a pair of wooden robots.

They can only exert up to 20% of their combat power.

Zhang Gunli originally intended to use the puppet to restrain He Jiaqing, but to his surprise, He Jiaqing didn't even raise his hand and directly took away the two wooden robots.

Does a thief have such skill? Even if they could steal the techniques, they wouldn't be able to use them so proficiently.

Zhang Gunli was very surprised, but he didn't dare to be distracted, as he still had to continue fighting with Feng Chongli.

As the two walnuts collided, smoke and mist rose from Zhang Gunli's body, flames flickered, dust flew, and a faint chanting sound lingered around him.

This is Zhang Gunli's most ruthless tactic.

Too many people use magical artifacts to pay off debts; his warehouse is full of them.

He knows how to use all these magical items, but no one knows which one he uses.

Feng Chongli felt a wave of panic. He Haisheng, who was standing at the door, and Shen Rongqing, who was hiding in the corner, both felt that they would die at Zhang Gunli's hands in the next second.

This isn't because they're cowardly; they've fallen victim to Loan Cultivator scheme, a tactic Power Kill Paulownia Scare.

In the debt collection business, they will stop at nothing, and intimidation is their most common tactic.

Zhang Gunli doesn't need to do anything; he just needs to strike a murderous pose, and everyone present will feel afraid.

The time was ripe, Zhang Gunli prepared to make his move.

Feng Chongli covered his eyes with both hands, spread them apart, and stared intently at Zhang Gunli.

Zhang Gunli twirled the walnut in his hand, and a matchbox flew up. A match jumped out of the box, struck the matchbox, and turned into Fierce Flame that rushed towards Feng Chongli.

Feng Chongli was already prepared; a spittoon flew out of his backpack, carrying a jar of phlegm.

First, extinguish the match, then coat the remaining thick phlegm on the box, thus controlling the matchbox as well.

Zhang Gunli was startled. Why was Feng Chongli on guard?

Did you guess it based on experience?

The walnuts collided again, and a pipe spewed out a large amount of smoke towards Feng Chongli.

Feng Chongli was prepared, and flicked out a sandalwood fan from his sleeve.

The fan waved on its own, creating a strong wind that dispersed the smoke, rendering the pipe useless.

Twice in a row, they took precautions in advance; this wasn't just a fluke.

Zhang Gunli did not tell anyone his intentions, and he did not have a fixed order or habit in using the magic weapon.

The only reasonable explanation is that Feng Chongli saw through his intentions and made a prediction in advance.

The key question is, how was this prediction made?

It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous at all, but Zhang Gunli was still able to handle it calmly. He had his own secret weapon, and he knew that Feng Chongli also had many. Businessmen traveled all over the country, and it was hard to say whose resources were more substantial.

But he knew that Feng Chongli was in a difficult situation. He had sold all the better magic weapons. If it really came down to a battle of wits, Zhang Gunli was not afraid of him.

Tap! Tap!

The walnuts collided twice, Zhang Gunli's figure disappeared.

This was a concealment artifact; no one knew what Zhang Gunli's methods were, nor when he would strike. Feng Chongli disassembled the abacus in his hand, flung it forcefully, and the abacus beads flew out, hitting Zhang Gunli on the head.

The abacus beads embedded themselves in the flesh and then exploded.

Covered in wounds, Zhang Gunli jumped to the window.

He was worried that Feng Chongli would pursue him, so he distanced himself from Feng Chongli.

This was the first time he felt fear towards Feng Chongli. Feng Chongli could always anticipate his intentions, which reminded him of a very rare technique.

"You used the Honesty with Old and Young?"

Feng Chongli nodded. "That's a businessman's duty."

Zhang Gunli was skeptical. "This is Peddler's unique technique."

Feng Chongli did not answer.

Zhang Gunli asked again, "Are you a disciple of the Peddler?"

Feng Chongli remained silent.

Zhang Gunli didn't want to fight anymore; he realized he might have underestimated Feng Chongli.

He Jiaqing knew Zhang Gunli inside and out, and this matter had been worrying Zhang Gunli for some time. Now, he had encountered the Peddler's personal disciple. If they continued fighting like this, he would definitely not gain the upper hand. If he attracted the Peddler's attention, his life would be in danger.

While rubbing the walnuts, Zhang Gunli tried to summon a magical artifact to cover his escape.

Ta-da!

This sound is wrong.

These aren't my walnuts!

Zhang Gunli looked down at the two walnuts in his hand and was shocked. He wondered who had switched the walnuts in his hand with He Jiaqing's.

He was a thief repairman, and his skills were indeed remarkable. But he was standing right in front of Zhang Gunli, and Zhang Gunli didn't see him move. How did he manage to switch the walnuts?

If he had that ability, he wouldn't have been driven to such a dead end by Green Flower.

The walnuts must be taken back; they are a matter of his family's wealth.

Zhang Gunli appeared in a flash, standing in front of He Jiaqing, and plunged one hand into He Jiaqing's chest.

Loan Cultivator skills, Knocking Bone Sucking Marrow!

This will drain He Jiaqing's Bone Marrow, his blood, and even his soul.

He Jiaqing shouted, "Help me!"

Zhang Gunli was pleased. "That's all?"

Is this all He Jiaqing is capable of?

Seeing Zhang Gunli rush over, He Jiaqing not only failed to dodge, but also failed to counter the technique.

Is this He Jiaqing?

Feng Chongli did not go to rescue He Jiaqing; he was exhausted and dared not fight Zhang Gunli again.

He Jiaqing didn't cry out for help; instead, he shouted, "Master, save me!"

Master?

Who is his master?

Zhang Gunli went all out, but he couldn't suck out the Bone Marrow or the blood; he only managed to suck out a wisp of soul.

This is not He Jiaqing, this is a dead soul!

No, it's not just one dead soul, it's Ghost Servant pieced together from several dead souls!

Because this Ghost Servant looked so much like He Jiaqing, and he and He Haisheng appeared at the same time, with He Haisheng guarding the door, Zhang Gunli really mistook him for He Jiaqing.

Who is this Ghost Servant's master?

Who could have such an ability?

Could it be him?

Zhang Gunli vanished into thin air once more. He was about to leave the mansion, but this time he did not hesitate at all.

Just as he was about to pass through the wall, a person came from the opposite direction, smiling and saying, "Lao Zhang, where are you going? Old friends are here, don't you say hello before you leave?"

The Smiling Ghost King, Gui Jianchou!

Only then did Zhang Gunli realize the origin of the ghost he had just captured.

This is Gui Jianchou's Ghost Servant, disguised as He Jiaqing. He can impersonate him so convincingly; he's probably a theatrical cultivator!

The ability to control puppets likely requires some skill or expertise.

He also neutralized the previous Strength Cultivator Skill, so it's estimated that there was another power cultivator mixed in. The three high-level dead souls have become a Ghost Servant, which seems to be something only Gui Jianchou could do.

A wave of yin energy swept over him, and before Zhang Gunli could get out, his invisibility spell was broken by Gui Jianchou!

Zhang Gunli frowned and said, "A'Gui, our score has long been settled."

"The debt is settled, but I remember the grudge!" Gui Jianchou's smile remained unchanged. "Your interest calculation almost bankrupted me!"

Zhang Gunli gritted his teeth and said, "This has been the way of calculating debts since I entered the Daoist sect. I didn't force you to borrow money from me."

You all admitted your mistakes back then, so why are you seeking revenge now?

Gui Jianchou laughed and said, "Lao Zhang, you know in your heart that someone is definitely looking for revenge against you. With your character, you'll die sooner or later because of your business."

?

Zhang Gunli said, "I've survived all these years, and it just so happens that I'm dying today?"

Gui Jianchou nodded. "It's neither too early nor too late now; it really is the day you have to pay with your life. Take my advice: accept your fate!"

"Accept your fate? You don't deserve it!" Zhang Gunli wasn't exaggerating. He had real skills to make this business what it is today. Gui Jianchou, Ye Jianhuang, and Qiao Wuzui had all borrowed money from him. He wasn't afraid of any of them coming at him one by one.

Even if Gui Jianchou and Feng Chongli came together today, Zhang Gunli is confident he can escape.

Swish!

Zhang Gunli felt a chill down his spine; a gash had appeared on his back.

Mu Yuejuan stood behind him with a calligraphy brush in her hand, the tip of which was still dripping blood.

Zhang Gunli turned and glanced at Mu Yuejuan: "Miss Mu, we don't have that much of a grudge between us, do we? When I did business with you, I didn't charge too much interest, did I?"

Mu Yuejuan said innocently, "Oh dear, Brother Zhang, so many people attacked you, why are you only making things difficult for me?"

She said those words.

Gui Jianchou laughed and said, "Lao Zhang, saying things like that makes me look down on you. Mu Yuejuan really has no grudge against you, but there's something to be gained here."

Amidst the hustle and bustle, driven by profit, you, Zhang Gunli, still don't understand the ways of the world? You're destined to die here.

"Wouldn't Miss Mu try to take advantage of this?"

"Are you all trying to take advantage?" Zhang Gunli scanned the crowd.

Mu Yuejuan said with a regretful expression, "After you die, I will leave you a painting. I will paint a broken drum that everyone beats. Then you won't hold a grudge against me."

"Yeah, a broken drum gets beaten by everyone," Zhang Gunli laughed. "Why did you bunch of idiots gather together like this?"

"Don't rush to ask, you might find out in a few days." Gui Jianchou his hand, and a group of Ghost Servant pounced on Zhang Gunli.

Zhang Gunli, armed with magical treasures, fought against the Ghost Servant. Mu Yuejuan drew a nine-headed spirit snake, which tightly bound Zhang Gunli.

Zhang Gunli wanted to use Water Cultivator weapon to wash away the painted spirit snake, but the Water Cultivator magic weapon disappeared.

He wanted to use a magical artifact to repel the Ghost Servant, but the artifact had disappeared.

One by one, the magical treasures on his body were lost, and Zhang Gunli suffered repeated heavy blows.

He Jiaqing stole it, and he's still hiding it in the shadows!

Feng Chongli inserted the broken abacus into Zhang Gunli's chest. The abacus tumbled inside Zhang Gunli's body, rendering him unable to resist.

Mu Yuejuan quickly dismembered Zhang Gunli's body with a series of strokes of her pen.

Gui Jianchou took out a porcelain bottle, heated the mouth of the bottle with a candle, and directly captured Zhang Gunli's soul.

After the bottle was corked, Zhang Gunli was completely cleaned up.

A large number of IOUs were scattered on the ground. Mu Yuejuan sighed, "These are all loans that haven't been repaid. These people really got off easy."

Gui Jianchou laughed and said, "If you don't want them to get away with this, just take the IOU and make a living collecting debts for them."

Mu Yuejuan shook her head and said, "I'm not doing this kind of business. I don't want to end up like him."

Besides, I don't even know the person on this IOU. It's a bargain, but some things shouldn't be taken for granted. Don't you agree, Mr. He?

Zhang Gunli had been focused on the Ghost Servant, unaware that the real He Jiaqing was hidden inside the silver dollar, and had switched his walnuts while he and Feng Chongli were fighting.

He Jiaqing stepped out from the mountain of silver dollars and said to the crowd, "Esteemed seniors, I have no intention of taking advantage of you. Zhang Gunli's pair of walnuts are in my hands. I will hand them over to you all for safekeeping."

After saying that, He Jiaqing handed a walnut to Gui Jianchou.

Gui Jianchou a smile, "Give it to me? You trust me that much?"

He Jiaqing nodded. "I have heard of Senior Ghost King's reputation."

Mu Yuejuan was displeased. "What are you saying? Is Hundred Flowers Danqing reputation less than his? If it weren't for my matchmaking, you wouldn't have been able to get this done, would you?"

He Jiaqing handed another walnut to Mu Yuejuan: "I will never forget this kindness. With these two seniors taking charge, I believe this matter can definitely be resolved fairly."

Gui Jianchou a walnut, Mu Yuejuan has a walnut. Only when the two of them tap their walnuts together can they unlock Zhang Gunli's treasure trove.

Given their status, would they really covet Zhang Gunli's measly possessions?

Greedy, truly greedy.

Zhang Gunli's stuff is really good.

Gui Jianchou said, "Miss Mu, Young Master He said he wants justice. So, who should speak of justice, you or I?"

Mu Yuejuan fiddled with her hair. "You have a sweet tongue, go ahead and say it, I'm listening."

Gui Jianchou said, "Alright, let's settle this fairly today. First, let's talk about money and magic weapons. Zhang Gunli has a lot of money, and his magic weapons are all top-notch."

"Among those of you present, I'm one, Miss Mu is one, Boss Feng is one, and Young Master He is one. The four of us really put in the effort. How about we divide these things among ourselves, Miss Mu?"

Mu Yuejuan snorted and said, "Do you even need to tell me? Do you think I'd let you hog it all and leave everyone else behind?"

Gui Jianchou added, "It can be divided, but not equally; it depends on how much effort is put in."

Mu Yuejuan frowned and said, "What, you contributed the most?"

Gui Jianchou waved his hand. "I never said I contributed the most. The one who contributed the most today was Boss Feng. Boss Feng led the charge, got injured, and broke his own weapon. His abacus is obviously unusable now. Boss Feng should take a larger share of the money and magic weapons. You all have no objections, right?"

He Jiaqing nodded and said, "I agree."

Mu Yuejuan was somewhat unconvinced, but she nodded nonetheless.

Gui Jianchou continued, "I lost a Ghost Servant sewn together by a theatrical cultivator, a craftsman, and a laborer. I don't need to explain the price; you need to give me some change. Zhang Gunli's soul is mine. Can you all agree to that?"

He Jiaqing nodded and said, "I agree."

Mu Yuejuan laughed and said, "Fine, it's yours. But if you dare to use Zhang Gunli Ghost Servant, don't regret it if you die at his hands one day."

Gui Jianchou continued, "The fact that we fought so smoothly today is inseparable from my contribution. I'm not bragging, but if we hadn't found out Zhang Gunli's background beforehand, we might not have been able to defeat him today."

Mu Yuejuan said, "I was just about to ask you about this. Where did you get this information? Zhang Gunli is always very secretive. You even know exactly what kind of walnuts Zhang Gunli has."

Gui Jianchou sighed, "I really put in a lot of effort to get revenge."

Mu Yuejuan smiled but remained silent.

What's the point of putting in the effort?

This is Zhang Gunli's secret for survival, Gui Jianchou can't find it no matter how hard he tries. There must be a master guiding him from behind.

Who could this expert be?

Gui Jianchou continued, "Since I've put in so much effort, I'll take a little more. Refining Ghost Servant requires flesh and blood, so Zhang Gunli's flesh and blood are all mine. Are you all willing to agree?"

"I agree." He Jiaqing agreed readily, but something was on his mind.

What does Gui Jianchou need Zhang Gunli's flesh and blood for? If it's just for refining Ghost Servant, there's no need to use so much.

Zhang Gunli's cultivation level was Above the Clouds, and He Jiaqing was very clear about the value of his flesh and blood, after all, he had once possessed the Mystic Life Crimson Lotus.

Could the whereabouts of Mystic Life Crimson Lotus be related to Gui Jianchou?

Gui Jianchou explained everything clearly and glanced at Feng Chongli out of the corner of his eye.

Honesty with Old and Young.

He actually knew the Peddler's unique skills.

Should we tell Sun Tiecheng about this?

Tell him that it doesn't seem to Gui Jianchou any good.

If we don't tell him, and Sun Tiecheng suffers a loss, Gui Jianchou will be in big trouble, and it won't be as simple as just breaking an egg.

Outside the mansion, Boss Lu, the owner of Lu Family Bookstore, held two books and hesitated whether to go inside.

He came to deliver a book to Shen Rongqing, but it seems he was a little late.

It's alright if the book hasn't arrived yet; we can send it another day.

But I did hear some things, and these things are very important.

P. S.: Honesty with Old and Young, this technique was crucial for Sun Tiecheng.
