Chapter 224 The weak and the strong
After crying her fill, the stunningly beautiful girl wiped away her tears and asked Zheng Jianfeng how he had obtained these elixirs.
When she learned that it was obtained in exchange for the Burial God Flower, and that the Burial God Flower was utterly useless, the girl couldn't help but cry again.
I hate myself for only knowing how to eat, drink, and have fun when I was in the sect.
If she had read more about the elixir of immortality, if she had learned more about the world and all things.
The three senior brothers certainly wouldn't try to steal the Burial God Flower.
If they hadn't fought the demons for the Burial God Flower, the three senior brothers wouldn't have been injured, poisoned, or died.
After this incident, the girl finally understood why her annoying father always said that cultivation was not enough; cultural knowledge was also necessary.
Sometimes, seemingly useless knowledge can be life-saving in critical moments.
Unfortunately, she realized this too late; her three senior brothers would never return.
"Senior brother, I will never be playful again. After I leave, I will learn from that annoying old man, Dad."
The girl wiped away her tears and choked out.
"it is good."
"Junior sister can do anything."
Zheng Jianfeng and the other two looked at the girl, feeling extremely distressed.
In their view, it was their fault for failing to protect their innocent and pure junior sister.
If they hadn't been so incompetent, how could my junior sister have been poisoned?
However, the junior sister blamed herself for the incident.
The innocent junior sister seems to have grown up.
"Senior brother, who is Master Gu?"
Zuo Yuer looked up at Zheng Jianfeng, her bright red almond-shaped eyes fixed on him.
"do not know."
Zheng Jianfeng shook his head; how could he dare to inquire about Gu Qing's background so rashly?
Although he was a disciple of a powerful Xuan Shen, even a disciple of a Celestial King was useless in the Dawn and Dusk Sea Secret Realm.
Without real strength, even a powerful background is useless.
"Luckily I met Master Gu, otherwise..."
Jin Xiaohong looked terrified, shook her head, and couldn't continue speaking.
Zheng Jianfeng wholeheartedly agreed. After his junior brothers and sisters were poisoned, he watched helplessly as the three of them slowly lost their lives. This sense of powerlessness drove him to despair and collapse.
He begged countless people, even kneeling in the city lord's mansion, hoping that the city lord would lend him a few antidote pills out of respect for his sect.
However, the city lord didn't even glance at him, regarding him as an ant, and ordered him to be thrown out of the city.
"Yes, we can't forget to repay the life-saving grace. After we get out, I'll have my annoying old man give Master Gu some treasures as a token of my gratitude."
Zuo Yuer said earnestly.
"Yes!" The three nodded in unison, their expressions solemn.
Zheng Jianfeng's eyes flashed with a sinister killing intent: "It's all the fault of those scum from Guangxian City."
They were true disciples of the Immortal King's lineage, and they were well-prepared before entering the Dawn and Dusk Sea.
They prepared no less than ten bottles of the mere Crossing-the-Tribulation Pill, along with countless other elixirs and treasures, making them a veritable divine arsenal.
The seven fellow students, full of vigor and lofty ambitions, were determined to make a name for themselves.
However, to his utter surprise, as soon as he entered Heguang Immortal City, he was harassed by the city's scoundrels and officials.
The city lord dropped all pretense and arrested them on trumped-up charges, taking away their divine gear.
It was precisely because they no longer had the elixirs and treasures prepared for them by their sect that they found it so difficult to move forward in the Dawn and Dusk Sea Secret Realm.
……
Time flies, and four months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Gu Qing refined all the immortal pills from the cultivators outside, including the hundreds of batches of immortal pills that he had Zhi Meng buy.
Practicing alchemy continuously for a year must be exhausting.
However, effort and reward are proportional; Gu Qing obtained many pill formulas, and his alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds.
If Gu Qing borrows the power of the Calamity Black Dragon, he can create a pill furnace in the void and refine nine batches of immortal pills at the same time.
"I told you not to work so hard, but you wouldn't listen. Are you exhausted now?"
Zhi Meng tenderly took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Gu Qing's forehead.
"It's alright. We'll be refining them all anyway. With so many orders, if we deliver the pills too quickly, it's bound to arouse suspicion."
Gu Qing smiled. "Hundreds of batches of immortal pills."
Although they are all mid-to-low grade immortal pills, if they were all sold, they would probably be worth several hundred billion immortal crystals.
It is worth mentioning that he has now joined Tianbao Trading Company as an honorary guest elder.
These elixirs can be sold directly to Tianbao Trading Company; there's no need to worry about them being difficult to sell.
Moreover, at Dawn and Dusk, one can also receive the protection of Tianbao Merchant House, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Looking at Gu Qingjun's incomparably handsome face, Zhi Meng's beautiful eyes shimmered with light as she softly said, "My disciple is truly amazing. He has only been ascended for two years, yet he has already achieved status and acquired immortal crystals."
"Others struggle and tread carefully in the dawn and dusk, risking their lives for a few immortal crystals, but they are not as good as you refining a batch of immortal pills."
Gu Qing felt embarrassed by the praise. Looking at Zhi Meng so close to him, her fair and flawless skin came into view, and her fragrance was intoxicating.
Gu Qing quickly looked away and changed the subject. "I heard that Tianbao Trading Company is going to hold a trade fair. Has it started yet?"
"Three more days, are you going?"
"Yes, Master, remember to call me when it's time. I'll meditate for a while."
"it is good!"
Zhi Meng smiled, feeling that her disciple was becoming more and more interesting.
"Whoo~"
After Zhi Meng left, Gu Qing let out a long breath, suppressing the restlessness in his heart, and a smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
Although Zhi Meng is a bad seed, she wants to give her closest relatives the best of everything in the world.
Three days flew by.
Gu Qing and Zhi Meng put on masks, completely covering themselves, and used a secret technique to change their aura.
Upon entering the trading area, there were over three hundred people, all completely covered up, as if afraid of revealing even a little bit.
Only one person sat upright in the main seat, with a dignified and imposing demeanor, without any attempt to conceal himself.
This man was none other than Liu Liangsheng, the city lord.
Others fear flaunting their wealth and attracting unwanted attention, but Liu Liangsheng, at the peak of the Celestial God Realm, is fearless.
After waiting a moment, when the time came, the gate closed, and Liu Liangsheng looked around and smiled.
"Now that everyone is here, let's begin the transaction."
"A new alchemist named Gu Qing has recently come to our city. Do you know anything about his background?"
Without even thinking, everyone shook their heads.
Even if they knew, they wouldn't tell Liu Liangsheng for free.
"I am willing to purchase this information with a divine artifact."
Trade fairs are not only for trading treasures, but also for information and other valuables.
Anything of value can be traded.
The specific price depends on the needs of both parties.
Upon hearing that Liu Liangsheng was willing to offer a divine artifact, everyone was tempted, but no one dared to speak up.
It wasn't that they didn't want to fool Liu Liangsheng with fake news, but rather that they needed to make a vow to their inner demons to ensure the accuracy of the information.
"What about Zhi Meng? Has anyone noticed her lineage or lineage?"
Seeing that no one answered, Liu Liangsheng frowned and asked a different question instead.
If you know Zhi Meng's background, it's easier to guess Gu Qing's background.
"Disciple, we can't stay in Guangxian City, and we can't even go back to our cave. He's using his divine sense to observe the whole area right now, so you mustn't give yourself away," Zhi Meng transmitted her voice.
"I know."
Liu Liangsheng's inquiry about him and Zhimeng was definitely not out of curiosity, but rather because he planned to make a move against him.
Once it's confirmed that he's not a descendant of a major alchemy sect, they will definitely take action against him.
Gu Qing now greatly admires Zhi Meng's insightful vision.
If Zhi Meng had revealed her sect from the beginning, even if it was the Starry Sky Dao Sect, Liu Liang Sheng would probably have dared to attack her.
After all, Liu Liangsheng had harmed quite a few members of powerful clans.
With the Immortal King of Light as his backer, and being in the Dawn and Dusk Sea, he had no fear of retaliation.
No sect was willing to seek justice from Immortal King He Guang for the sake of a single disciple.
But the alchemy sects are different. They might refuse to sell you elixirs, and the first people to not let Liu Liangsheng off the hook will be the other city lords of Guangxian City.
Gu Qing became increasingly alarmed as she thought about it.
He was just a low-level alchemist, yet they still had their eyes on him.
The immortal realm was far more dangerous than he had imagined, vividly demonstrating the law of the jungle.
It seems he can no longer use the alchemist's disguise in the Dawn and Dusk Sea Secret Realm.
