From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 71: Being Deceived
When Xu Xiaogou saw this, he suddenly saw the stall owner reach out and press down the martial arts book.

"Hey, look, you've memorized all this technique. Do you want to buy it or not?"

Sun Gu's tone sounded extremely impatient.

"How much silver?"

Xu Xiaogou asked the price first.

"If it's silver, you can buy it for two thousand taels."

Two thousand taels?
Xu Xiaogou fell into deep thought. He brought nearly 3,500 taels of silver with him, and he could only take out 2,000 taels.

He was just afraid of being cheated.

"Such a precious cultivation technique is only sold for two thousand taels?"

He also wanted to test the other party's strength.

But Sun Gu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think this is a unique copy? These are all rubbings. Selling one is pure profit. Two thousand taels is not a low price. I only guarantee that the skills are authentic. Don't worry about the source of the skills."

"Okay, I'll take this one."

Xu Xiaogou counted out the two thousand taels of silver in banknotes and handed them to Sun Gu. He hid the "Wan Yan Qigong Jue" in his arms and quietly left the black market.

It was a dark and windy night.

Shortly after Xu Xiaogou left, Sun Gu put away the remaining martial arts books, stood up and followed him.

----

Sun Gu is a casual cultivator at the second level of Qi training, and was born in a brothel.

His mother was a prostitute in a brothel. She was already quite old when she became pregnant. She had planned to give birth to the child and then retire from prostitution. However, she fell ill during childbirth and died a few years later.

Sun Gu became an orphan at a young age and grew up in a brothel or art gallery. He was doing odd jobs for a living before he was ten years old.

He was bullied in that environment. Later, when he grew up, he quickly learned to cheat and deceive people with his quick mind, and he was able to thrive among a group of gangsters.

Later, he worked as a thug in a brothel, specifically guarding those disobedient young women who were abducted from other places.

After saving some money, he planned to practice martial arts. If you want to get ahead in life, you need to be able to fight well.

On a whim, he spent a tael of silver to have his spiritual roots tested, and the results revealed five false spiritual roots. From then on, he embarked on the path of cultivating immortality.

It is not easy to cultivate immortality without any family background and only having the worst pseudo spiritual roots.

After learning about the existence of the black market, he used the tricks of deception he had learned from his childhood in the underworld to cheat some resources.

In this way, I reached the second level of Qi training.

He was actually less than fifty years old, and was not considered an elderly person among the Qigong practitioners. His long gray hair and white beard were dyed by him.

He noticed it when Xu Xiaogou stepped into the black market.

There aren’t many new faces in the black market, especially those like Xu Xiaogou who specialize in the cultivation techniques of immortals.

Sun Gu guessed that he was a casual cultivator who had just been detected to have spiritual roots, so he came here to try his luck and buy the immortal cultivation technique.

Sun Gu encountered this kind of situation every once in a while and was used to it. This kind of newcomer to the immortal cultivation world was obviously a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

The cultivation method he sold was fake, except for the first part which was half true and half false. The rest of the content was fabricated by him and just looked like the real thing.

In black market transactions, money and goods are exchanged directly, and there is no "after-sales service".

Even if someone came to him, Sun Gu would say that he didn't have the talent to do it.

Having said that, why would a casual cultivator who had just been diagnosed with spiritual roots fight against a veteran like Sun Gu who had been in the business for many years?

So over the years, Sun Gu has never failed.

This time he set his sights on the fat sheep again to see if he could get some benefits.

The worst thing he had ever done was: he discovered that a lucky independent cultivator had a spirit crystal, so he sneaked into his home, killed his entire family, and stole the spirit crystal.

If a casual cultivator wants to cultivate immortality, he will always prepare some resources. He may have spirit crystals or even spirit stones obtained from somewhere.

————"Let this newcomer to the immortal cultivation world experience the cruelty of the immortal cultivation world, hehe."

Sun Gu sneered in his heart and followed Xu Xiaogou closely.

"Oh, quite cautious."

He found that Xu Xiaogou was going in circles.

After wandering around countless alleys in the city, Xu Xiaogou finally headed towards a house.

Sun Gu followed and noted the location of the house.

If there was no chance this time, he would look for another opportunity. In short, he had set his sights on this casual cultivator, and sooner or later he would snatch away the resources he had worked so hard to obtain.

"This is a wealthy family with high walls and a large courtyard."

In the dark night, Sun Gu looked up at the courtyard wall in the deep alley.

He didn't stay long and turned to leave, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a figure rushing towards him from the corner.

It’s Xu Xiaogou!
Xu Xiaogou had already noticed Sun Gu following him. He quietly wandered around the city and brought him to this remote alley, which was not his home at all.

Faced with the covetousness of the immortal cultivator, Xu Xiaogou had only one thought: get rid of him!
The secret that he has spiritual roots cannot be exposed. This is the most important secret of the Xu family.

"Woo~~"

His huge fist, filled with internal energy and roaring like a tiger, smashed towards Sun Gu's head without holding back.

In the case of close combat, an innate warrior is stronger than a cultivator in the early stages of Qi training!

what?
Sun Gu watched the fist grow larger in his sight, horrified. If it hit him hard, his head would be smashed like a watermelon.

Caught off guard and unable to cast spells, he activated his protective amulet.

A golden light spread from his chest, instantly protecting him.

"Keng!"

Xu Xiaogou's fist made a vibrating sound as if it was hitting steel.

Sun Gu's body flew backwards, and the golden protective shield shattered and turned into golden light spots that spread out.

This interception at the critical moment was enough to save his life. He didn't care about the protective talisman, and used the "light body technique" to touch the ground with his toes and float dozens of meters away.

"How could someone whose spiritual roots have just been detected be a congenital warrior?!"

He couldn't understand how someone could reach the level of an innate warrior only to discover that he had the spiritual roots to cultivate immortality?
He had no intention of competing with Xu Xiaogou, and only wanted to escape. A poor cultivator like him who didn't even know a few spells couldn't possibly be a match for an innate warrior.

"Want to escape?"

Xu Xiaogou had already taken action, so it was impossible for him to let that person leave.

The internal energy flowed into his feet, and with a "bang", he crushed a few bricks and chased after him.

Sun Gu was so panicked that he just wanted to survive, and even hid in someone else's house.

Xu Xiaogou didn't want to alarm others, so he used his unique skills that he had hidden for many years.

"call out!"

The flying sword, made of fine steel with hundreds of forgings, is engraved with grooves to minimize wind resistance.

The flying sword hit Sun Gu faster than the slight whistling sound, piercing through his back and chest with unstoppable power.

Sun Gu didn't react at all. His physique at the second level of Qi training could not withstand the flying sword of the innate warrior.

He lost control of his body and slid and fell forward while fleeing.

After falling to the ground, it slid for dozens of meters.

He died with his eyes open, filled with horror and unwillingness. He was a Qigong cultivator, a high and mighty immortal, so how could he die at the hands of a warrior?

Xu Xiaogou walked up, quickly searched the man's body, picked up the flying sword he had just used, made sure that no one was around to see him, left his body exposed on the street, and quietly left.
