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

Chapter 63: Cooperation!

Xiaoyu and Xiaomu exchanged a glance, confirming that they were thinking exactly the same thing.

There's already a solution to the "Azure Spirit Liquid" that Qingfeng Baoxing is preparing to launch... and that is, this blue liquid!

It's easy to make, highly effective, and even after being diluted with water, its potency is still terrifying. How much water can be added to that whole pot of concentrated liquid? How many bottles of healing medicine would that be?

Moreover, even after being diluted with water, its efficacy still far surpasses that of "Azure Spirit Liquid"!

If even Young Master Gu's disciple could refine it so easily, then there couldn't possibly be any difficulty. The prescription must also be very simple. At least a girl at the second level of Foundation Establishment, calling her a master alchemist would be too far-fetched for the two of them.

In this case……

Xiaoyu mustered her courage and asked directly, "Young Master Gu, may I ask if you... or your disciple, would be willing to cooperate with our Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop?"

Gu Heng smiled.

coming.

That's what he wanted.

Originally, Gu Heng only wanted to show these two girls that his alchemy skills were not bad.

But while he was refining the medicine, he actually had an idea in his mind.

Qingfeng Baoxing even went so far as to send assassins to intercept and kill the people from Jinhuang Baoxing, just because of that bottle of "Qingling Liquid" that he considered so inferior... Couldn't he easily obtain a large quantity of such healing medicine? It seems that these two major merchant houses in Yunling City have gone to great lengths to make money from mortals.

This "Azure Spirit Liquid" can only be sold to mortals at best. Its medicinal effects are probably only enough to cure a cold or weakness, and it would never be sold to cultivators.

If the goal is to profit from cultivators, then Gu Heng feels he has no chance to get involved.

But if the goal is to make money from ordinary people's medical treatments, why can't this ordinary person, who has maxed out his "medical skills," get involved?

The medicine I refine myself is definitely of high quality and low price, much better than this Azure Spirit Liquid!

If we can cooperate with Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop, it will be a win-win situation!

Running my own clinic doesn't make me any money, and now I have to support another person, a pretty young girl. I can't just live day by day like before.

At least until Qin Yiyao grows up, he has to take good care of this delicate and beautiful flower.

Watering and fertilizing every day is essential.

Now, he has finally received a personal request from the other party to "cooperate".

A great opportunity to make money has come knocking.

"Hmm... Do you want to cooperate? But I'm not interested in cooperation. I just want you to understand that inferior medicines like 'Azure Spirit Liquid' can be easily refined by my disciples, let alone me."

Gu Heng's face showed no indifference.

Use retreat to advance.

You shouldn't act like a money-grubbing person.

Upon hearing this answer, Xiaoyu wanted to ask more, but when she thought that the other party was the kind of reclusive master who could summon clouds and rain with a flick of his wrist, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Such a person might save her simply because he finds it amusing. In Young Master Gu's eyes, Qingfeng Baoxing and Jinhuang Baoxing, these two small branches in Yunling City, are probably nothing more than shrimp that he could easily wipe out with a single palm strike.

We can't force him; we have to beg him to help Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop!

Moreover, it demands sincerity and humility!

"I am somewhat interested."

Qin Yiyao took the initiative to speak.

Although she knew nothing about alchemy, she completely understood the look in Gu Heng's eyes and gave the corresponding answer. It seemed that her master wanted to make this deal with the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop. Although she didn't know the specifics, she guessed that it must involve spiritual herbs!

In any case, since Master wants to get involved, then let him get involved!

Upon hearing that Qin Yiyao was interested in cooperating, Xiaoyu's expression changed rapidly, almost like switching masks.

"Really? That's wonderful!" Xiaoyu was overjoyed and almost jumped up. "With the help of this spiritual medicine, Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop will definitely be able to completely suppress Green Wind Treasure Shop!"

After she finished speaking, she solemnly bowed to Gu Heng, looking extremely apprehensive. Gu Heng was somewhat surprised by her appearance, thinking to himself that this girl was particularly particular about etiquette.

Seeing this, Gu Heng felt inexplicably pleased. He raised his hand, gesturing for her to get up.

"No need to be so polite. Since my disciple is interested in cooperating, let's go along with her wishes. It will be mutually beneficial."

"Young Master Gu, please rest assured, our Golden Phoenix Pharmacy will cooperate fully." Xiao Yu nodded hurriedly, "We will do our utmost and will not refuse!"

"Hmm..." Gu Heng pondered for a moment, "Miss, it's best not to speak so soon. If I'm not mistaken, there's someone else at Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop who can make the decision, isn't there?"

Although Xiaoyu's attitude made him feel that "this matter is settled," the person in charge of Jinhuang Baoxing might not share her thoughts. After all, Gu Heng was an outsider who had only been in Yunling City for less than a week and had no local connections. The person in charge of Jinhuang Baoxing probably wouldn't trust him so easily.

Sure enough, Xiaoyu paused for a moment upon hearing this before hesitantly nodding, "That's true."

She didn't have the power to decide this matter, and she couldn't agree on behalf of her master.

"It's getting late. If you two ladies don't want to travel in the night, I have an empty room upstairs. Whether you want to stay or not is up to you."

Gu Heng glanced at the screen; it was already late at night.

Xiaoyu and Xiaomu discussed it in hushed tones and decided to return to the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop immediately!

The pursuit by Qingfeng Baoxing has failed. Rather than waiting in Gu Gongzi's clinic until tomorrow morning, it's better to leave now. By the time Qingfeng Baoxing realizes their pursuit has failed, they will have already returned to their own territory.

Moreover, they must report what they find out as soon as possible!

With that in mind, the two of them did not linger any longer. After expressing their gratitude to Gu Heng for saving their lives once again, they quickly left.

Once they were a distance away, Qin Yiyao quietly asked, "Master..."

"Ok?"

"What exactly were you planning just now? Did you want to cooperate with Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop to sell your spiritual medicines?"

She blinked and asked curiously.

Gu Heng shook his head and chuckled, "Of course. Do you think it's easy for me to run this clinic? Now I also have to support you, my little girl. If I don't make some money to supplement the family income, you'll only be able to eat the sugar pills I make every day to fill your stomach."

"Oh...is that all?" So Master's plan really is to cooperate with Baoxing and sell his healing medicine!

She had just been wondering what big secret was behind all this. Was her master really just after money? But he didn't need these things.

Qin Yiyao naturally didn't believe the excuse that it was "to supplement household income".

With all those rare and precious herbs in his medicine cabinet, and those high-grade pills he casually gives away, he could easily buy the entire Yunling City, let alone maintain his clinic.

"Yi Yao, you should know that you have to be careful with your money and pay attention to details when it comes to living a good life."

"You're too young to understand now, but you will in the future, just like I did..."

Gu Heng sighed, patted Qin Yiyao on the shoulder, and spoke earnestly.

He was actually only in his early twenties. Qin Yiyao, however, fell into deep thought…

Master has been in the mortal realm for so long, just to perfect his mindset for the path to immortality. Is it really necessary to experience such human relationships and worldly affairs?

Qin Yiyao began to wonder where she had gone wrong as the Holy Yao Emperor.

Is it simply that the step of "entering the mortal realm" is missing?

The more she thought about it, the further her thoughts drifted away.
