I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

"roll!"

The word "Gu Xiu" was simple, clear, straightforward and decisive, without any hesitation or lingering feelings.

This was clearly just one word transmitted through the jade token.

But at this moment.

But it seemed to have turned into a sharp sword that could cut through everything, piercing straight into Yuchi Chunlei's heart, cutting off all the expectations in her heart, and shattering the expectations in her eyes bit by bit.

The moment she just summoned.

I really hope that Gu Xiu can be like he was five hundred years ago when I was trapped in the Tiangong Holy Land, with only one sword, carrying the world's situation and countless attention.

Go to the holy land.

Save yourself!

Can……

She never dreamed that Gu Xiu's answer would be so straightforward and decisive.

Own……

But I am her senior sister!

Even if she abandoned the sect and left, even if she no longer recognized him, he should still come to save her!

"waste!"

Compared to Yuchi Chunlei's bewilderment, the man holding the jade token was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He suddenly became mad and started to curse loudly:

"Hasn't there ever been a single accomplished person in your Qingxuan Holy Land from beginning to end?"

"You trash!"

"How on earth did you manage to make Gu Xiu treat you so heartlessly? You are a bunch of trash, a bunch of trash!!!"

Frustrated!

Faced with the furious look of the man in front of her, Yuchi Chunlei could only shrink her neck, feeling angry and aggrieved.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

But the fear in my heart became even deeper.

Gu Xiu didn't come to save himself.

That myself...

What should I do?

……

At the same time, on the other side, after seeing Suixing finish replying and handing the communication jade token to him, Gu Xiu casually threw the communication jade token into the storage ring.

There was no emotion on his face at all.

Whether Yuchi Chunlei is dead or alive has nothing to do with him.

As for seeking his help...

In Broken Star's words, this person hasn't woken up yet.

In fact, if Broken Star hadn't insisted that it wanted to reply, Gu Xiu wouldn't even bother to pay attention to her.

"Come, Mr. Gu, have some tea."

At this moment, a cup of fragrant tea was handed to Gu Xiu. "This is the Jiuxiao Ning Tea that my Wanbao Tower specially obtained from the cold region in the far north of the Beiming Sea. Although it is not as good as the famous Wudao Tea, it is also ranked among the four famous teas."

At this moment, Gu Xiu was drinking tea in the private room on the top floor of Wanbao Tower in Yunxiao City.

And pour him tea.

It was the old owner of Wanbao Tower who was elusive.

Wan Chunming.

After breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, Gu Xiu directly boarded the Wanbao Tower's warship and returned to Yunxiao City. When they just came back, the Wanbao Tower organized a grand welcoming ceremony.

Afterwards, Gu Xiu was personally invited by Wan Chunming.

Come here for tea.

Gu Xiu naturally would not refuse the invitation from the real boss of Wanbao Tower. He picked up the teacup and took a look at it.

The color of the Nine Heavens Condensed Tea took on a dreamlike hue, seemingly embodying the colors of the clouds in the nine heavens. As the teacup swirled, the colors of the clouds began to shift and intertwine, each shift like a nebula evolving in the heavens.

I put it close to my nose and sniffed it gently. A fragrance that seemed to come from the sky immediately penetrated my nose through the teacup.

This fragrance is not just any ordinary tea scent, but rather carries an ethereal, lofty charm, as if it contains the pure breath of the beginning of the world. Just smelling it can make one's heart calm down.

The mind is clear and bright.

Gu Xiu glanced at Wan Chunming, only to see a smile on his face. He raised his hand slightly and said, "Please."

Gu Xiu nodded.

Pick up the teacup, bring it to your mouth and take a sip.

In an instant, a majestic yet delicate energy exploded in the mouth like a surging wave, with a strong bitterness, but the moment this bitterness emerged, it became extremely sweet, as gentle as a trickle, slowly flowing down the throat.

Wherever he passed, every part of his body seemed to be rebaptized.

Every pore, meridian and blood expanded, greedily absorbing this magical power from the sky.

That taste.

It has the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers, the profound mystery of flowing stars, and the majestic atmosphere of changing winds and clouds.

Just one sip seems to make people forget the hustle and bustle and troubles of the world, as if they are in a fairyland beyond the clouds.

Dance with the heaven and earth, and keep company with the stars.

Even the realm that had not been completely consolidated because of the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage just now was more solid at this moment.

"A cup of tea comes from the sky, it tastes bitter and makes me frown."

"Just like the hardships of life, after the wind and frost, the flowers bloom."

"This Jiuxiao Ning Tea not only tastes excellent, but it is also extremely beneficial for cultivation. It is especially suitable for stabilizing one's realm."

Wan Chunming smiled and poured another glass for Gu Xiu. He then took out a small square box and handed it to him.

"It just so happens that I still have a hundred or so leaves in stock. Now, Mr. Gu has finally blossomed after weathering the storm. Today, I will give all my stock to Mr. Gu."

"If this tea is a metaphor for human affairs, it must first be bitter before it can usher in the clouds."

"This tea is a blessing for Master Gu to usher in his own glorious future and bloom to the fullest!"

I have to say, as the old owner of Wanbao Tower.

Wan Chunming's work.

Great!

After all, this is one of the four famous teas, and only 749 pieces are grown every year. Many times, they are even reserved in advance by major holy places before they fall, and each piece is worth a fortune.

This box of hundreds of tea leaves alone is equivalent to a top-grade magic weapon!

but.

Facing the box of Jiuxiao Ning Tea handed to him by Wan Chunming, Gu Xiu did not reach out for it. He just took another sip of tea and asked softly:

"Master Wan must have something to say, right?"

"Indeed." Wan Chunming was straightforward. He placed the Nine Heavens Condensing Tea on the table and then pushed it in front of Gu Xiu. He then spoke, "I know that Master Gu will definitely not stay in this corner of the Eastern Wasteland forever. I came to see Master Gu this time because I hope to discuss the business of the Perfect Dao Talisman before he leaves."

Gu Xiu's perfect Taoist talismans have been in constant supply. With the perfect Taoist talismans he provided, Wanbao Tower not only gained a foothold in Yunxiao City, but also radiated to the entire Eastern Wilderness through Yunxiao City.

This business might not bring high profits for Wanbaolou, but it is a solid stepping stone. It can help Wanbaolou achieve many things that were previously impossible, and it can also push Wanbaolou's business to a higher level.

"I intend to raise the price of the talisman."

"From now on, the price we pay for your tribute at Wanbao Tower will be increased to 50 spirit stones per first-level talisman."

"Raise the price?" Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows.

"That's right." Wan Chunming nodded.

"This is only the price for a first-grade talisman. If Fellow Daoist Gu can write a higher-grade perfect talisman, we can charge 200 spirit stones for a second-grade talisman, 500 spirit stones for a third-grade talisman, 1,000 spirit stones for a fourth-grade talisman, and 3,000 spirit stones for a fifth-grade talisman."

"As for higher prices, if Master Gu is willing to sell them to us, the price offered by our Wanbao Building will surely satisfy Master Gu."

As soon as these words came out.

Even though Gu Xiu currently has no shortage of spirit stones, he couldn't help but frown.

Wan Chunming's offer is so sincere!

His asking price has completely exceeded the market price.

but……

Faced with such sincerity.

However, Gu Xiu did not agree immediately.

"I know that when Gu Gongsheng leaves Yunxiao City and even leaves the Eastern Wasteland, he won't have enough time to refine the talismans. Even if he does, it won't be easy for him to hand them over to us."

Wan Chunming seemed to see Gu Xiu's concerns and immediately continued:

"Fellow Daoist Gu, there's no need to worry about this. Wanbaolou won't force you to have a certain amount of talismans. As long as Fellow Daoist Gu has some free time, I can give him a batch of talismans."

"As for how to trade, it's also simple. Daoist Gu won't have to send it all the way back. All I need to do is send a message, and I'll send someone to contact Daoist Gu. It will definitely not affect Daoist Gu's itinerary."

This time.

More sincerity.

"Master Wan should have the conditions, right?" Gu Xiu asked.

"Yes!" As expected, Wan Chunming nodded. "I only have one request. I hope that if Fellow Daoist Gu wants to sell talismans in the future, he won't sell them to any other forces besides Wanbaolou. At least Wanbaolou has the right to purchase them first."

Gu Xiu couldn't help but narrow his eyes at these words: "Master Wan's ambition is so big?"

Wanbaolou is indeed powerful, and is even one of the top chambers of commerce in the Eastern Wilderness, but that is only in the Eastern Wilderness. In fact, outside the Eastern Wilderness, the development of Wanbaolou has always been restricted in many ways, and it is basically impossible to expand that far.

Wan Chunming is now making this request.

It is obvious that they plan to attack other places next.

This ambition.

For a chamber of commerce leader who is not the supreme leader.

It’s really big!

"When doing business, everyone wants to move to the next level, and I have my own reasons for having to do this," Wan Chunming said with a smile.

Gu Xiu raised an eyebrow and asked casually, "So, the plot to bring Qi Shang Qingxuan down was also part of Wan Louzhu's plan?"

As soon as these words came out.

The smile on Wan Chunming's face froze immediately.

However, Wan Chunming nodded quickly and said with emotion, "Five hundred years ago, Fellow Daoist Gu was said to be proficient in both civil and military tactics. Now it seems that his reputation is indeed well-deserved. I thought no one would know about this, but I didn't expect that even Fellow Daoist Gu could not hide it."

This statement is considered an admission.

However, if other people heard this, they would probably be shocked.

The Red-Cloaked Man rose up in rebellion, calling on a large number of sects and forces to attack Qingxuan, which eventually became the fuse for Qingxuan's destruction.

It has been spreading in recent days.

Wanbaolou was never mentioned in this matter.

But who can know.

this matter.

It was actually planned by Wan Chunming!

"I was just lucky."

Gu Xiu shook his head. "In fact, what Lord Wan did was flawless. Not only did no one doubt it, but even if someone had concerns, they couldn't find any evidence at all."

This is the truth.

He did know that Hongyi had always had an ally, and that was Wan Chunming. He and Hongyi were in a cooperative relationship, one openly and the other secretly, and they had been planning for Qingxuan, and had even started preparing many years ago.

But these.

This is what Gu Xiu saw in that dream that lasted for ten thousand years.

In that dream that lasted a thousand years, Hong Yi ultimately failed. Although Qing Xuan was severely damaged, he was not destroyed. Afterwards, he immediately launched a reckoning. Of the sects that participated in the operation, only one in ten survived. This corner of the Eastern Wasteland experienced a bloody storm.

Although Wanbao Tower was not implicated because it was hidden deep enough, it was still severely damaged. It took many years to recover. It was only after several decades that it began to expand beyond the Eastern Wilderness.

And now.

Qingxuan was destroyed, and Wanbaolou's bet was successful. Sects like Baiqi Sect, Jindao Sect, Bibo Sect... have all reached cooperation with Wanbaolou, and now Wanbaolou has made a lot of money.

Naturally.

It is obvious that we have to take action to start expanding outward.

"Mr. Gu is too modest." Wan Chunming hesitated for a long time, but finally asked Gu Xiu in detail how he found out, and nodded openly:

"Wanbaolou can't continue to hide in the Eastern Wilderness."

"I'm going to start expanding outward!"

"And your talisman, Fellow Daoist Gu, is the stepping stone for my outward expansion!"

"I have a question." Gu Xiu asked.

"You said."

But Gu Xiu looked directly at the other person and said, "You should have placed a bet on my game, right?"

When this question came out, Wan Chunming's eyelids twitched a few times, but he finally nodded:

"I did place a bet."

"Which way down?"

"I played..." Wan Chunming pursed his lips:

"You lose."
