Chapter 221: Hoping to be reborn into a better family in the next life
For these masters who know how to forge and refine medicine, their own strength is not actually the most important factor.
What's important is their skill.
In particular, those powerful figures who can forge sacred-grade divine weapons and refine high-level pills are extremely rare.
The weapons and magical treasures they forge, and the spiritual medicines they refine, are so sought after that they cause a frenzy of buying. Every cultivator in the world who thirsts for miraculous medicines and divine weapons is eager to cultivate a good relationship with such figures!
While the Qingyi Divine Palace might rank among the top extraordinary forces, in terms of true sect strength, the Wanjian Immortal Sect is the real leader. Its sect master, a seventh-level Saint, could easily obliterate the Qingyi Divine Palace with just his sword. But such a thing will ultimately not happen.
Because if anyone dares to touch the Divine Healer Palace, they will face a dozen or so other powerful figures closely related to them, who will join forces to kill them.
No one in the world would complain about having too many treasures and elixirs.
Therefore, the man in the black robe felt that things had gotten very serious.
If the person in front of me were just an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, then perhaps I could just deal with him.
While it's true that the other party's cultivation level is at the Integration stage, he is also a master craftsman capable of forging sacred-grade divine weapons!
This is going to be difficult.
With a simple wave of his arm, he could summon people not only those at the Tribulation Transcending stage, but even those at the Mahayana stage, who were willing to do things for him.
To have such a master blacksmith owe him a favor is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The man in black robes was sweating profusely; he desperately hoped he hadn't offended this man, or he might not even have a way to survive.
No, that's not right!
This is not a time to think about the future.
The question is whether he can serve this important man well and ensure his safe departure.
If you can't get rid of them, there's no point in thinking about the future.
"Master, please spare me! I was blind and disrespectful and offended you. Please forgive my rudeness!"
Without much hesitation, the man in black robes knelt down in front of Gu Heng.
The things I brought out were nothing but trash in front of this master who could forge holy-grade weapons.
It's no wonder he felt offended.
Without realizing it, they had already insulted the other person. "Sigh, you..."
Gu Heng stared at the black-robed man who had suddenly knelt down, his eyes twitching violently. He was not exactly dumbfounded, but at least he felt bewildered.
Why is this person suddenly bowing so deeply to me?
"Alright, alright, it's no big deal, get up."
He waved his hand, signaling the man in black to stand up quickly and not act like he'd seen his own father.
Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately got up from the ground, stood respectfully and fearfully beside Gu Heng with his head bowed, and did not utter a word.
Gu Heng glanced at him and frowned.
The man looked to be only in his twenties or thirties, but he had a weathered face. Despite being young and strong, he looked exhausted as if he had been through many hardships. Moreover, his face was covered with acne, which gave him an indelible evil and sharp look, making him wonder what this man had been through.
However, since he had already adopted such a humble attitude, Gu Heng was too lazy to investigate further. "Fine, since you can't offer anything good, then I won't take the compensation."
Gu Heng sighed and decided to take Qin Yiyao away from this troublesome place as soon as possible. If the black-robed man's accomplices came out to check the situation later, it would be troublesome.
This guy is easy to fool, but others aren't so easily fooled. Gu Heng didn't dare to gamble.
His decisive abandonment of the claim immediately relieved the man in black robes. "Thank you for your magnanimity, Master!"
Gu Heng shook his head, "You're welcome. After all, I'm a great philanthropist."
He smiled and touched his smooth forehead.
A great philanthropist...
The man in black scoffed at this, but he didn't show the slightest displeasure on his face. Getting the old man and his apprentice off was the most important thing.
"I'll go and call my apprentice." The man in black robes bowed respectfully, almost saying "May you be blessed."
He was really impatient.
But as soon as Gu Heng turned around, he smelled the stench of blood wafting from inside!
Something is wrong!
Something's happened inside!
Has the group of people who kidnapped them started a killing spree?
Gu Heng's face suddenly darkened, and the black-robed man beside him also sensed this aura, his expression immediately changing as well.
The smell of blood is too strong. Logically speaking, they built the altar very deep in the center of the ruins. They were performing a blood sacrifice inside. How could the smell possibly emanate from there?
"what happened--"
The man in black robes was about to go back inside to take a look when he suddenly felt that his body was out of his control.
His limbs were powerless, and he collapsed to his knees, limp and lifeless.
Then, the pain surged up.
what……"
The man in black robes trembled, his eyes wide open, as if countless worms had suddenly surged into his body, gnawing at every inch of his flesh and bone!
This pain is no less than the torture of being slowly sliced to death.
But he couldn't make a sound.
While he was still lucid, he knew that it was the person next to him who had attacked him.
The man in black robes looked at Gu Heng, his eyes filled with fear and resentment.
"It seems my poison has a significant effect on you."
Gu Heng patted his sleeves.
From the very beginning, he intended to poison this man. Whatever these men in black robes were planning, it was definitely not a good thing. Although Gu Heng had intimidated the gatekeeper, he always wanted to be absolutely safe!
Gu Heng would not let go of the opportunity to poison someone at close range.
The only concern was whether the poison was potent enough; it seems it is quite potent now.
The person collapsed and died within three breaths of being poisoned.
"Sigh, maybe you should do some good deeds in your next life. Look at you, you were poisoned to death by a mere mortal like me. Aren't you ashamed?"
Gu Heng rubbed the black-robed man's face with the sole of his shoe, a gesture that was utterly insulting and left no room for leniency, reducing him to the dust.
mortal?
mortal my foot!
No matter what kind of poison he was poisoned with, it destroyed his meridians and dantian almost instantly, and his Dao power was completely dissipated. This kind of potent poison could probably kill even a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage without any problem!
Could an ordinary person obtain such a poison? Impossible!
This person poisoned him, and yet he still humiliates himself like this?
The man in black robes was already on the verge of death. Upon hearing this, his lips twitched violently twice. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he coughed up black blood from all seven orifices and died.
Gu Heng looked at the expression on his face.
Do not look down.
This is truly frustrating.
But Gu Heng had nothing to say. He had already killed the person. All he could do was pray to God and hope that this fool who had been manipulated by his boss would be reborn into a better life.
