I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 121: That girl has quite a background!

So Shang Xiong immediately summoned Qing Yi and ordered him to take action the next day, go to the Gu family medical clinic, and interrogate that mortal!

Qingyi immediately accepted the order.

Shang Xiong felt that it was overkill to have him take the lead.

However, we still have to consider the possibility that there might be experts from the Golden Phoenix Treasure Company secretly stationed in the Gu family's medical clinic. Qingyi is his strongest assassin, so dealing with this shouldn't be a problem!

"What should we do about the guild leader, Qin Yiyao, and that Nascent Soul cultivator whose origins are unknown?"

Yi Gong asked again.

Now that only a mortal remains at Gu's Medical Clinic, dealing with him is a piece of cake. But the two who left home are not so easy to deal with. Especially the new woman in black robes; although her face is unclear, she is definitely a genuine Nascent Soul cultivator. The assassins trained by their Qingfeng Treasure Company are no match for her.

Of course, since he was determined to eliminate the Gu family's medical clinic, this little trouble couldn't stop Shang Xiong.

"Hmph, if we can't handle it, we'll just have to hire a few skilled assassins. They can deal with it easily then!"

Shang Xiong waved his hand dismissively, his sinister eyes filled with a chilling venom.

"President Shang Xiong..."

Suddenly, an even more sinister voice came from the president's room, startling Shang Xiong and Yi Gong so much that they felt a chill run down their spines.

Turning around, they discovered it was a man in black robes.

"Oh! It's you."

Upon seeing that it was that person, Shang Xiong immediately put on a smile. Although in his heart he was cursing wildly, giving the black-robed man's ancestors a thorough dressing-down.

Have you prepared everything I asked for?

The black-robed man's voice was different from usual; although he was still young, it was a bit hoarse. However, Shang Xiong's attention was not on this at all, because when the black-robed man asked for "something," he immediately looked troubled.

"You see, Qingfeng Baoxing is currently facing some trouble. The medicinal herbs you need are not easy to find. How about this, let me get through this predicament first, and then I will send someone to find them for you. How about that?"

Shang Xiong smiled ingratiatingly.

But the man in black robes was already unhappy.

"Heh, this is quite different from the terms we agreed on back then."

As the man in black robes finished speaking, a gust of cold wind swept across Shang Xiong's body, causing him to shiver. "A thousand bottles of Azure Spirit Liquid, plus the subsequent supplies, I've prepared everything, but you've failed to keep your promise, Chairman Shang..."

As soon as the man in black finished speaking, the aura emanating from him caused the temperature in the entire room to drop sharply!

Shang Xiong felt threatened and his face turned ashen, but he dared not get angry.

After all, he felt that this man in black robes must have an extraordinary background!

"Sir, as you know, this Azure Spirit Liquid simply can't be sold right now. Our store has its own difficulties, and we're doing our best to fulfill your request..."

Upon hearing this, the man in black robes burst into laughter.

"What does it matter to me if you can't sell them? Our deal is to exchange medicine for medicine. And since you say you can't sell them, tell me, what are you going to use to complete the deal we agreed on?"

Shang Xiong's heart was pounding, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"I've already made my decision. As long as I kill the person who refined the Golden Spirit Liquid, your Azure Spirit Liquid will have a market!"

"Oh?"

The man in the black robe smiled with amusement.

Shang Xiong quickly continued, "Don't worry, sir, that man is definitely dead, and we will definitely collect the medicinal herbs you need!"

"I hadn't looked into it before. Do you know who refined the Golden Spirit Liquid?"

The man in black robes spoke in a deep and unfathomable tone, leaving Shang Xiong completely baffled.

Shang Xiong said with a trembling heart, "I know! That girl is called Qin Yiyao. She lives in the Gu Family Medical Clinic in the south of the city. She is the one who refined that Golden Spirit Liquid. Moreover, she has no backing and is just a rogue cultivator!"

"Her surname is Qin? What does she look like?"

Shang Xiong was also stumped by the black-robed man's barrage of questions, but he still answered truthfully.

"...Heh, how interesting." The man in black robes curled his lips coldly, his sharp gaze fixed on him. "Remember every word you said today. I will be back."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thick cloud of black mist drifted over and disappeared into the room.

"call……"

Shang Xiong gasped for breath, wiping the sweat from his forehead. He then realized that he was soaked in sweat and looked extremely disheveled.

"Damn! They appear and disappear like ghosts..."

He cursed.

the other side.

The man in black robes appeared in a mountain forest. He took off his hood, and the young face was none other than Lin Yang's!

However, unlike the real Lin Yang, his pupils were completely black, as if he had become possessed by a demon.

"Hmph, the girl my disciple met is actually an alchemist and physician who refined this Golden Spirit Liquid..." "And a rogue cultivator? Guild Master Shang, you are truly a fool, blind to talent."

He murmured to himself, and a rustling sound came from the bushes beside him. Then a demonic wolf pounced out!

Lin Yang didn't even look. A black wind surged, and the demon wolf was instantly cut into more than a dozen pieces.

"Sigh, I need to rest for a while. This temporarily refined body can't hold my soul for too long..."

He found a cave and sat down cross-legged there.

Then, he entered a meditative state.

Meanwhile, in the Thousand Swords Hunting Grounds, Lin Yang was wielding his sword hilt, slaying another demonic beast corrupted by sword energy.

He searched for prey back and forth for an hour or two, when suddenly the black pendant around his neck lit up. Lin Yang quickly found a place to rest and then said, "Master?"

"I just visited Qingfeng Baoxing, but Chairman Shang still hasn't been able to produce the necessary medicinal herbs." The reply came from a strange voice that blended old age and youth.

"Hmph, that guy is such a dragger. It's just some medicinal herbs for refining 'Soul Fusion Pills,' and he still can't find them all after so many days!"

Lin Yang's eyebrows furrowed.

"However, I've heard some very interesting news..."

"what?"

"The girl you met outside the Thousand Swords Hunting Grounds today, she is the alchemist who refined the Golden Spirit Liquid, her name is Qin Yiyao."

Lin Yang remained silent for a moment upon hearing this.

That girl who's at the first level of Core Formation?

Was the Golden Spirit Liquid something she refined?

Lin Yang now realized that he had completely misjudged the situation.

Although Qin Yiyao, with her first-level Core Formation cultivation, didn't even draw her sword, she slapped Hua Yao's face into a pig's head, his initial conclusion about himself began to waver.

But now that he's heard what his master said, it proves that the arrogant and haughty girl really does have a powerful background!

"In my opinion, that girl's sword is of the Heavenly Grade. Although to me, Heavenly Grade weapons are nothing but trash, in a small place like this, for a mere Core Formation cultivator like her to be able to use something like this..."

"She must have a powerful backer, most likely her master!"
