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

Chapter 54: Senior Gu is so generous!

The Thousand Swords Hunting Grounds don't seem to be a place where outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering. Perhaps it's more private, but what can't money solve?

Gu Heng felt that his wallet was still quite full.

Of course, all of this was done for his little female apprentice. He had finally adopted such a charming and lovely girl, so of course he had to spoil her. Whatever his apprentice wanted, the master should try his best to satisfy her!

Seeing Wu Rong's gradually relaxing expression, he knew that his request had definitely been accepted by the old man.

"If Mr. Gu is willing to pay an admission fee... then this matter is entirely negotiable!"

Wu Rong clapped his hands, beaming with joy, "It is indeed not easy to let outsiders into the Thousand Swords Hunting Ground, but... if Mr. Gu is willing to pay some price to allow your disciple to enter, it is not impossible."

Gu Heng's lips curled up slightly.

Sure enough, those from wealthy families all know how to ask for more benefits. Although Qin Yiyao chopped off the hand of this old man's grandson, he seemed to have quickly shaken off the mentality of a distressed old man and was very flexible... Gu Heng felt that this old man had more than one grandson. He said he came to apologize, but he probably didn't really care about the matter.

Maybe it's just to get on his good side.

But is it necessary?

Gu Heng felt that he was just a run-down clinic owner; what did he have that warranted this wealthy landlord's fawning over him?

Gu Heng remained silent for a while before finally nodding: "Alright, then it's settled. Go back and tell the person who can make the decision to come and talk to me."

Qin Yiyao blinked. It was settled so easily? But there's an entrance fee...

She stood behind Gu Heng, wanting to reach out and tug at his clothes, but in the end she held back.

My new master is really willing to spend money on her.

Although Qin Yiyao's distant memories of her past life were not very clear, she knew that no one had ever been so kind to her before. Perhaps it was because she had always lived a solitary life before becoming the renowned Holy Yao Emperor who shook half the realm...

Suddenly, she felt a warm glow in her heart, and the whole world seemed wonderful.

"Oh, by the way, I've made some medicine. Take it back and give it to your grandson."

Seeing that Old Master Wu was also about to leave, Gu Heng had a sudden idea and took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and handed it to Wu Rong.

Wu Rong was stunned for a moment, then quickly and respectfully held the jade bottle with both hands.

"Thank you, thank you! This...this medicine is..." Wu Rong was just worried about not having an excuse to leave, but upon hearing this, he immediately took the medicine and examined it carefully.

Upon seeing this, his eyes widened in surprise!

Two grade seven pills containing cinnabar patterns!

His breathing became heavy.

"Mr. Gu... this, this was made by you?" Wu Rong asked, his hands trembling.

Gu Heng said calmly, "It's just some stuff I casually made myself, but it'll make your grandson feel a little better. Here's one more for you."

The pills in this bottle aren't precious; they're just for replenishing blood and qi. Young people will feel warm all over after taking them, and the elderly will feel refreshed. Wu Rong's grandson had his hand cut off and suffered severe bleeding, leaving him with depleted blood and qi. Although we can't reattach his hand, this medicine can at least help him recover faster.

Wu Rong took a few deep breaths, trying his best not to let the expert before him see his excitement. This was tantamount to exchanging a mere handful of his grandson's hand for two top-grade pills!

Blood earned!

He originally thought that he would have to pay half of his funeral expenses to apologize, but unexpectedly, he lost nothing. Instead, Mr. Gu gave him medicine, and it was a seventh-grade precious pill!

A seventh-grade pill—this is a treasure that you couldn't find even if you turned the entire Nianling Sect upside down!

This reclusive master is so generous even to himself?

Perhaps he only offered the pills because Wu Jie's hand had been broken by his disciple, but if they had established a good relationship from the start, the benefits would have been far more than just two pills!

Thinking about it this way, Wu Rong felt even more furious with Wu Jie, that good-for-nothing grandson, and wished she could go back right now and hang him from a tree and give him a good beating. That good-for-nothing, all he thinks about is his manhood.

Wu Rong composed herself and asked cautiously, "May I ask, Mr. Gu... is this elixir truly for me and my grandson?"

"Of course, I can't let you leave empty-handed since you've come all this way."

Gu Heng waved his hand.

"Then on behalf of my unworthy descendant, I thank Mr. Gu for the medicine!"

“Okay,” Gu Heng waved his hand, “Go ahead.”

Wu Rong quickly bowed and ran off as if he were carrying a treasure. His steps were so fast that he wished he could sprout wings. Gu Heng's eyelids twitched wildly when he saw Wu Rong's swift and agile movements.

This old man is really tough.

"Master," Qin Yiyao whispered close to Gu Heng's ear, "Why did you send that old man medicine?" Qin Yiyao now felt that her request was not very satisfactory.

Why is it that not only does her master want to give Nianling Sect benefits in order to get her into the "Thousand Swords Hunting Grounds"? Before this matter is even settled, he has already given Wu Rong two seventh-grade pills!

What a loss!

Even though Qin Yiyao herself didn't suffer any loss, she still felt like she had been cheated.

Although she knew that for Gu Heng, who had already touched the level of "immortal", this seventh-grade pill was not a precious thing at all, it was not a stone on the roadside that she could just give away!

Qin Yiyao didn't want her master to give her things all the time; he had already been good enough to her.

Gu Heng glanced at her: "Why not give it to him? It's just two sugar pills. Besides, I'm doing this for you."

He stood up and vigorously rubbed Qin Yiyao's head.

She pursed her lips, a sweet feeling welling up inside her. Once she became stronger, she would have to think of a good way to repay her master.

……

Wu Rong quickly returned to Nianling Sect.

However, when he rushed back to his courtyard, he found that Zhu Ling, the sect leader of the Nianling Sect, was already there.

Moreover, his expression was so serious it looked like he was about to kill someone.

His heart skipped a beat.

There's nothing the sect leader doesn't know about what happened in the Nianling Sect. Wu Jie returned carrying a severed hand, and many disciples probably saw it. Naturally, the sect leader couldn't be kept in the dark.

Wu Rong's heart tightened for a moment, but then she felt relieved.

Fortunately, he acted decisively, first lowering his stance and apologizing to Mr. Gu and his female disciple. Now, even if the sect leader wanted to punish him, Wu Rong could refute him, because he still had two seventh-grade pills given to him by Mr. Gu in his pocket! He went to apologize without giving anything in return, and even got two pills back. What does this mean?

This means they no longer care about this matter!

Since all parties involved stated that "this matter is over," Zhu Ling, as an outsider, no longer had any room to offer unsolicited advice.
