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

Chapter 70: Everyone's Testing Each Other

Feng Wuxin tensed up at this moment. Hearing Gu Heng's words, which seemed to be both amused and somewhat indifferent, she thought that Gu Heng was very dissatisfied with their impromptu "testing" of each other!

It's over.

But Feng Wuxin was quick-witted, and she hurriedly said, "This humble woman is very satisfied! We have absolutely no doubt about Young Master Gu's medical skills!"

Aunt Yuan also stood up and said quite sincerely, "If I have offended you, please don't blame me, Young Master Gu."

What she just ate was a genuine Grade 8 elixir!

That medicinal power has now begun to rebuild her true essence and heal the old injury in her dantian!

Putting everything else aside, just from this generous gift, Aunt Yuan understood that she owed him her life. Favors from alchemists and physicians are never easy to incur, nor are they easy to repay.

But what else could she say?

Perhaps the internal injuries I left behind can be healed from this, and that alone is enough.

"Hey, it's okay. I understand what you did. Why would I blame you?"

"However, Madam Yuan, take this. Add three drops to hot water every day and soak for fifteen minutes. Do this for a month and your body will be completely healed."

Gu Heng handed her the five jade bottles containing the medicinal liquid.

Although it was a test, this beautiful woman did indeed have some serious ailments. In any case, since he had said he would help her cure them, he had to see it through.

"Young Master Gu, this..."

Aunt Yuan didn't know anything about alchemy, but the medicinal fragrance emanating from the jade bottle proved that these freshly refined spiritual liquids were definitely precious high-grade spiritual medicines.

"Take it. Let's keep things separate. We can talk about cooperation, but as I said, I will cure your illness."

Gu Heng's words made Feng Wuxin and Aunt Yuan overjoyed.

Needless to say, Aunt Yuan was also known to Feng Wuxin. This woman, who had watched her grow up, had once been attacked by four or five villains while protecting her, and was seriously injured, leaving her with a chronic illness.

And this young master Gu has already declared that he will definitely cure her illness!

How could they not be happy?

"Gentlemen, please come with me to the back room for a proper chat."

Gu Heng stepped aside, making way for the door leading to the back hall.

……

An hour later, Aunt Yuan and Feng Wuxin bid farewell to Gu Heng and left the clinic.

The expression on Feng Wuxin's face was one of relief and joy.

The talks went smoothly. Gu Heng was interested in the cooperation, but not in personally refining the medicine. However, his female disciple was willing to provide the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop with more effective spiritual medicines, and what he would give in return was simply 100,000 taels of gold per month... To be honest, this cooperation was too profitable, making Feng Wuxin feel somewhat unreal.

As for whether that Foundation Establishment Stage 2 girl could refine the blue spiritual liquid they needed... of course she could!

Feng Wuxin had no doubt about Gu Heng's words.

There is no need to doubt the words of such a powerful person; his strength is the best proof.

Moreover, everything has already been agreed upon. Tomorrow morning, the first batch of "Golden Spirit Liquid" will be delivered to Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop, and it will be enough to fill two thousand bottles!

If Qingfeng Baoxing dares to start a "commercial war" at this time, the outcome will be a complete failure!

This name was given to him by Feng Wuxin.

Qingfeng Baoxing makes "Qingling Liquid," so they make "Jinling Liquid"!

Feng Wuxin took a deep breath, as if she could already smell the scent of victory.

"Aunt Yuan, this is quite an opportunity for us."

Feng Wuxin smiled and sighed.

"Yes, miss!"

Aunt Yuan was also in a good mood. This time, not only was Baoxing's predicament resolved, but she also gained something extra—her hidden injuries were healed.

"Qingfeng Baoxing... it's time to get them out of Yunling City."

In Feng Wuxin's mind, a sharp and ruthless plan had already taken shape!

The two major treasure houses in Yunling City are about to engage in a bloody battle for control. She had thought that the Golden Phoenix Treasure House would be the pitiful creature that would be constantly being ruthlessly cut down by the Azure Wind Treasure House, but now, the tide has turned. When she gets the two thousand bottles of "Golden Spirit Liquid" tomorrow, she can take the initiative and launch an attack. Then the Azure Wind Treasure House will know what pain is.

However, that would be too boring.

Why not wait for Qingfeng Baoxing to make their move, so that they think they have victory in their grasp, before launching a more devastating counterattack?

It makes me really excited!

She believed that Qingfeng Baoxing was destined to meet this fate!

……

Shortly after Feng Wuxin and Aunt Yuan left.

Qingyi, the top assassin of Qingfeng Baoxing, appeared at the entrance of Gu's Medical Clinic.

This time, he also came on the orders of Chairman Shang Xiong.

He learned his lesson and stayed far away. Qingyi knew that Qing Si died at the entrance of Gu's Medical Hall most likely because he was too careless and had no idea how capable the owner of the medical hall was, since Qing Si died instantly.

But as Shang Xiong's most elite assassin, Qingyi knew how Qing Si died.

poison.

Without any external injuries, not even the true source of energy in the dantian is damaged. If a powerful person were to suppress someone with their aura, then the person's entire body's meridians would shatter, the dantian would break, and they would die from disordered energy.

With blood flowing from all seven orifices, it looks like poisoning no matter how you look at it!

If it was poisoning, then it would be understandable.

There are countless poisons in the world, including poisons that can kill even a Mahayana stage expert. There are even more poisons that can kill a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Even a mortal can easily poison a Nascent Soul stage cultivator when they are completely unprepared.

Qingyi is just like that.

When he was just a young orphan, Shang Xiong took him in, and the first person he killed was a cultivator at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage.

At that time, Qingyi was just an ordinary person.

He paid the price of half a hand, watching the Nascent Soul cultivator die with his body rotting away.

It was a deadly poison called "bone-corroding and heart-piercing".

To avoid poisoning himself, Qingyi cut off the half of his hand that had touched the "bone-corroding and heart-piercing" poison and survived. Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul cultivator died, killed by a mortal child.

Since then, Qingyi has been Shangxiong's most formidable assassin, without exception.

"Gu's Medical Clinic... I've never heard of such a clinic in this place. If it's new, we need to investigate it thoroughly."

He observed from a hidden corner.

Qingyi was very cautious. He even used his only "Concealing Qi Pill," a pill that could completely dissipate his aura, along with all his cultivation. Now he was just a mortal... until the effect of the Concealing Qi Pill wore off.

To prevent the possibility that there might be powerful individuals at the Tribulation Transcending or Mahayana stages in this Gu family medical clinic, concealing one's aura and cultivation level is useless.

Only by using elixirs to dissipate one's cultivation can this be achieved.

Of course, Qingyi had to take a Qi-restoring pill within fifteen minutes, otherwise he would truly never regain his cultivation level.

But a quarter of an hour should be enough for him to figure out the clinic.

Seeing two more sickly mortals emerge from the entrance of Gu's Medical Clinic, Qingyi straightened her coarse clothes and headed towards the clinic.
