"Let's write down what happened today."
After saying that, his figure flashed and disappeared from the place like a ghost.
It wasn't until the oppressive feeling completely disappeared that Gu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gu Sheng in disbelief.
"Little brother, when did you become Third Pavilion Master of the Linlang Pavilion? In just a few months of Great Desolation City, you not only obtained the Venerable Cang Long inheritance, but also..."
"Brother, don't get me wrong."
Gu Sheng interrupted him with a smile.
"This token was just a gift from a friend. I was just taking advantage of the opportunity to bully others. I met the senior management of the Linlang Pavilion by chance before. When we parted, the other party lent me the token for self-defense. I didn't expect it to come in handy."
Gu Feng is doubtful.
"To be able to give out such tokens easily, I'm afraid the people you make friends with at the Linlang Pavilion are not ordinary high-level officials, right?"
"Brother is joking."
Gu Sheng spread his hands with a natural expression.
"I am only Yellow Martial Realm, how can I really become a high-ranking Linlang Pavilion? The man in Tsing Yi was also frightened. If he asks a few more questions, he may reveal his secret."
Ye Jianjia stood aside, silently adjusting his collar that was cut by the sword energy.
Her clear eyes stayed on Gu Sheng's face for a moment, and then quickly moved away - she knew full well that Gu Sheng's words were not entirely true.
When she was in Xuancheng, she saw with her own eyes the respectful manner Linlang Pavilion shopkeeper Huang Ting treated Gu Sheng. That was definitely not the way he treated ordinary guests.
"Jianjia, are you okay?"
Gu Sheng turned to Ye Jianjia with concern in his eyes.
"No problem."
Ye Jianjia shook his head slightly.
"That person just asked about the whereabouts of Miss Nangong and did not hurt me."
Gu Sheng nodded and asked again.
"What is your connection with the Nangong Family clan? Why did the man in Tsing Yi come to you?"
Ye Jianjia was silent for a moment and then whispered.
"The Nangong Family clan was originally a large clan in Xuancheng, and its strength is comparable to that of the Imperial Sect. A few days ago, a group of mysterious people led hundreds of warriors to attack Nangong Family at night. Only Nangong Qingyue and an old lady managed to escape."
"Kill the whole family overnight?"
Gu Feng took a deep breath.
"Who is so bold?"
"Not sure."
Ye Jianjia shook his head.
"But to be able to achieve this level, the opponent must have at least one Earth Martial Realm peak powerhouse in charge."
Gu Sheng looked solemn in his eyes. With his current level of cultivation, facing the Earth Martial Realm peak would be like hitting an egg against a stone.
He secretly clenched his fists - he must improve his strength as soon as possible!
"Jianjia, tidy up."
Gu Sheng said suddenly.
"We will return to Great Desolation City early tomorrow morning."
"So fast?"
Gu Feng was stunned.
"You've only been back for a few days."
"Brother, the main reason for returning home this time is to pass on the inheritance of Venerable Cang Long."
Gu Sheng explained.
"Great Desolation City there are still many matters waiting to be dealt with. Moreover"
He paused.
"I have a bet with someone, and I need to be promoted to the Black Tortoise Realm within three months."
"Three months? From the Yellow Martial Realm to the Black Tortoise Realm?"
Gu Feng eyes widened.
"How is this possible?"
Gu Sheng smiled and did not answer, but patted Gu Feng on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I have my own plan."
Gu Feng Looking at his younger brother's confident expression, he suddenly felt that the relative he had grown up with in front of him became a bit strange. In just a few months, Gu Sheng has become filled with too many mysteries. But in the end he just sighed heavily.
"No matter what happens, the Gu family will do their best to support you."
This sentence made Gu Sheng feel warm in his heart.
He recalled that every time he got into trouble when he was a child, his eldest brother was always the first to stand up and defend him.
As soon as Gu Sheng stepped out of the backyard threshold, the voice of Gu Feng came from behind.
"Gu Sheng, wait a minute."
He paused in his steps, and when he turned around, his robes brought a breeze, and the jade pendant hanging around his waist swayed slightly.
"Brother, is there something wrong?"
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and the sunlight cast mottled light and shadow on his face through the gaps between the leaves.
Gu Feng quickly approached and his eyes fell on Gu Sheng's waist.
"Did father ever give you the jade plaque that mother left behind?"
"You mean this?"
Gu Sheng Turned his right hand over, and a jade tablet with a green body and strange lines engraved on the edge appeared in the palm of his hand.
The jade plaque glows with a bright luster in the sun, and there is a vague aura flowing around it.
Gu Feng stared at the jade sign with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Not only a magic weapon, but also a token."
"Token?"
Gu Sheng His fingers rubbed the surface of the jade plaque, feeling warm and cool to the touch.
He injected spiritual power, and the lines on the jade plaque immediately shimmered, but soon dimmed again.
"I've tried it a few times, but apart from being able to store a small amount of spiritual energy, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it."
"That's because you haven't found the right usage yet."
Gu Feng smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice.
"The sect corresponding to this jade card is at Great Desolation City. If you have the opportunity, you can go there with the card. As for which sect it is specifically?"
He scratched his head.
"My mother spoke vaguely back then, and my memory is a little fuzzy. You might as well ask your father before you leave."
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed, and he put the jade token back into the storage ring.
"Thank you for informing me, brother."
Seeing that Gu Sheng had no intention of asking further questions, Gu Feng was a little surprised.
"Don't you want to know more?"
"You will know when you need to know."
Gu Sheng The corner of his mouth raised slightly.
"Besides, if eldest brother was willing to say it, he wouldn't have kept it secret just now."
Gu Feng laughed and patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder.
"Your temperament is becoming more and more like my father's."
The two exchanged a few words, then Gu Sheng said goodbye and returned to his room.
When he opened the door, a faint smell of dust hit his face.
Gu Sheng stood at the door and glanced at the familiar furnishings - the bookcase by the window, the weapon rack in the corner, the landscape paintings on the wall. Everything was the same as when he left, except that the figure who always liked to secretly clean up the room while he was practicing was missing.
"Qing'er."
Gu Sheng sighed softly, and ran his fingertips across the dusty desktop. Thinking of that girl's Vermilion Bird Spirit Body, he made a secret calculation.
"Blazing Heaven Sacred Land is indeed more suitable for her. When I have the opportunity to go to the Central Continent, I have to find a way to advance Vermilion Bird Spirit Body."
Shaking his head to get rid of his thoughts, Gu Sheng sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a High-grade Spirit Stone in each hand, and started running Nine Dragon Qiankun Art.
The spiritual energy in the spirit stone poured into his body like a river flowing into the sea, rushing through his meridians.
If any outsiders were present, their jaws would be dropped - it would take a normal Yellow Martial Realm warrior a day or two to absorb a High-grade Spirit Stone, but Gu Sheng only needed a cup of tea to turn two spiritual stones into powder.
"It's still not enough."
Gu Sheng opened his eyes, frowned at the spirit stone residue in his palm. Nine Dragon Qiankun Art requires a massive amount of spiritual energy for each step forward. At this rate, it will take at least three days to break through to the eighth level Yellow Martial Realm.
Without hesitation, he took out new spiritual stones from the storage ring and continued to practice. In this way, when the fourth spirit stone of the day was sucked dry, it was already dusk outside the window.
"Huh——"
Gu Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling the surging spiritual power in his body, and nodded with satisfaction.
Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly frowned. Within the range of mental perception, a Qin Family warrior was running towards this direction in a hurry.
Sure enough, within three breaths, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Master Gu! It's not good! Something happened to my master!"
Gu Sheng opened the door and saw a sweaty guard kneeling on one knee, his chest heaving violently.
"What's going on?"
Gu Sheng's voice was calm, in sharp contrast to the guard's panic.
"The master went to Golden Crow City to attend an auction. He was attacked on the way back and was seriously injured. He was just carried back!"
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed coldly.
"Who was the attacker?"
"I don't know. Before he passed out, the master only said, 'Be careful Golden Crow.' Master Gu, please go to the meeting hall and have a look!"
"You go first, I'll be there soon."
Gu Sheng waved off the guards, turned around and took out a few bottles of elixirs from the storage ring, and grabbed a handful of spiritual herbs and stuffed them into his sleeves.
Although the mental power has detected that Gu Lie's injury is not fatal, the faint sweet smell shows that things are not that simple.
The meeting hall was brightly lit, and more than ten core members of the Qin Family gathered around the makeshift bed in the center.
Gu Feng was pacing back and forth anxiously. When he saw Gu Sheng entering the door, he immediately came to greet him.
"Gu Sheng! Father him."
Gu Sheng raised his hand to signal him to calm down and walked straight to the bed. Gu Lie was lying there with a livid face, the bandage on his chest was soaked with blood, and his lips were an abnormal purple-black color.
"Poisoned."
Gu Sheng leaned over and sniffed, and the sweet fishy smell became more obvious.
He turned around and asked Gu Feng.
"What exactly happened?"
"My father went to Golden Crow City to participate in the triennial 'Heavenly Treasure Auction' and took a photo of a grand finale treasure. On the way back, he was attacked at Falling Eagle Gorge. Most of the guards were killed and injured, and the treasure was taken away."
Gu Feng His fists were clenched.
"The attacker's weapons were poisoned, the doctor said. They said they had never seen this kind of poison before and were helpless."
Gu Sheng said nothing, pressed Gu Lie's pulse gate, and penetrated with spiritual power. As the investigation deepened, his brows became tighter and tighter - the poison had invaded his heart, and if Gu Lie hadn't been deeply cultivated, he would have died long ago.
"Prepare the alchemy furnace."
Gu Sheng suddenly spoke.
"Alchemy furnace?"
Gu Feng was stunned.
"You want."
"Alchemy."
Gu Sheng spoke concisely and comprehensively, and took out a red spiritual grass that was shaped like a phoenix from the storage ring.
"The father's is 'Blood Dove Powder' and needs 'Profound Yang Heart Clearing Pill' to detoxify it."
There was an uproar in the hall. Alchemists are rare in Chi Yan City, and even the one City Lord's Mansion enshrines is just a dabbler who can barely refine yellow-level elixirs.
"You know how to make pills?"
Gu Feng opened his eyes wide, as if he was meeting Gu Sheng for the first time.
Gu Sheng didn't explain, just urged.
"The sooner the better, the poison is eroding the heart."
"I'll get ready right now!"
Gu Feng turned around and was about to give instructions to his servants, but suddenly stopped.
"What spiritual herbs do you need? I'll ask someone to purchase them."
"No need."
Gu Sheng shook the storage ring on her finger.
"The spiritual herbs given by Miss Tantai are enough."
Gu Feng took a deep breath. What kind of person is Miss Tantai? Any of the spiritual herbs she gave me would be worth a fortune!
In less than half a quarter of an hour, a bronze alchemy furnace half a man's height was carried into the side hall.
Gu Sheng checked it out. Although it was only Yellow Grade Middle Rank, it was barely enough to refine Profound Yang Heart Clearing Pill.
"Everyone, step back three feet away and don't disturb me."
Gu Sheng With a wave of his sleeves, more than ten kinds of spiritual herbs flew out from the storage ring and suspended in the air.
The most eye-catching thing is a small golden flower with natural thunder and lightning patterns on the petals.
"Golden Thunder Flower?!"
Gu Feng An elderly steward behind him exclaimed.
"This is the main ingredient for refining Xuan-level elixirs!"
Gu Sheng turned a deaf ear, flicked his fingertips, and a wisp of green flame fell into the alchemy furnace. The flames grew when they saw the wind, and in a blink of an eye the furnace was already a blazing fire.
He skillfully put in the spiritual herbs one by one, and his movements were smooth and fluid, leaving everyone stunned.
"This is at least the technique of a Xuan-level alchemist!"
The old steward's beard trembled with excitement.
Gu Feng stared at the back of Gu Sheng, feeling a turmoil in his heart. After not seeing each other for just half a year, what happened to him? Not only did his cultivation level skyrocket, he also became an alchemist.
Just when everyone was shocked, Gu Sheng suddenly said "Huh" and frowned.
He withdrew the spiritual power to explore Gu Lie's injuries, and his expression became extremely solemn.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Feng's heart tightened.
Gu Sheng said in a deep voice.
"The situation is more complicated than I thought. The poison in my father's body is not just Blood Dove Powder."
"What do you mean?"
"Blood Dove Powder is mixed with another poison, and"
Gu Sheng said.
"It's 'Cold Marrow Induction' specifically for fire attribute warriors."
Gu Feng, who was standing aside, was shocked when he heard this and almost dropped the pill furnace in his arms.
He quickly stepped forward and placed the alchemy furnace on the stone platform three feet away. The furnace body made a dull sound when it came into contact with the ground.
"Second brother, father."
Gu Feng's voice was trembling.
Gu Sheng didn't look back, just raised his hand and made a gesture.
"First infuse father with Qi and stabilize his injuries. I will deal with the poison."
Gu Feng didn't dare to neglect, and immediately sat cross-legged on the other side of the bed, putting his hands on Gu Lie's back. Light cyan energy surged out from his palm and slowly flowed into Gu Lie's body.
At this moment, an old voice sounded in Gu Feng's mind.
"Boy, your father's lucky number is Five Poisons Heart-Eating Powder."
Gu Feng's heart skipped a beat and he responded in his mind.
"Does Your Majesty recognize this poison?"
"Hmph, I have lived for hundreds of years, what kind of poison have I not seen?"
Venerable Cang Long's voice was somewhat proud.
"This is Five Poisons Sect's sect-killing poison, which is made from five extremely poisonous substances. Thirty years ago, Five Poisons Sect used this poison to wipe out three small sects in one night. The poisoned person's body festered and died in seven days, and his death was extremely miserable."
Gu Feng turned pale and quickly conveyed the information to Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng's hand that was inspecting the alchemy furnace paused slightly, and the coldness in his eyes became even worse.
"Five Poisons Sect?"
He sneered.
"Keep holding dad still, I'll make the medicine."
Gu Sheng waved his sleeves and the lid of the alchemy furnace opened in response.
With a flick of his fingertips, a wisp of red flame jumped into the bottom of the furnace, instantly lighting the entire alchemy furnace red.
Gu Feng was stunned to see it - the flame actually took on the shape of a lotus, and every fire leaf was clearly visible.
"Red Lotus Karmic Fire?"
Venerable Cang Long exclaimed in Gu Feng's sea of consciousness.
"Where did this kid get the heaven and earth fire?"
Gu Sheng kept moving, taking out elixirs one after another from the storage ring.
His technique was astonishingly fast, and the elixir drew a series of afterimages in mid-air, and accurately fell into the alchemy furnace. Every time a plant is put in, the flame in the furnace changes color, and the aroma of the medicine gradually becomes stronger.
"Purple Lingzhi, Thousand-Year Snow Ginseng, Seven-Leaf Soul Grass."
Venerable Cang Long identified the medicinal materials one by one, his voice becoming more and more shocked.
"These are all Fourth-grade Elixir's materials, does he want it?"
Gu Feng had beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead. While maintaining the flow of Qi, he couldn't help but ask.
