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

Chapter 79: The Spirit Nian Sect is saved!

But since Xiao Ling has said so, and judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be really interested in money, Gu Heng now has to think about it carefully.

It's not hard to understand why it's free.

They were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, so rich they could take a bath with it; what I could give them was just a drop in the ocean.

But what about the pills he refines?

First of all, it's definitely not for eating!

Such wealthy and powerful families must have their own trained alchemists and physicians, so they don't need to go to other clinics when they get sick, and naturally they have no shortage of elixirs.

So, what was Young Master Xiao's purpose? Gu Heng thought for a long time, and suddenly an answer that he thought was very likely came to mind.

Could it be just for fun?

It's possible!

That girl named Meng Yirou was also a pampered young lady born into a wealthy family. She complained that her life in her secluded chambers was too idle, so she went to find someone to learn how to make medicine. She even thought she had learned a great skill. Then he lectured her in the manner of a "teacher".

Perhaps, this young master Xiao Ling is the same?

However, he's already in charge of affairs, so it's unlikely he'll have the energy to learn alchemy. But Gu Heng thinks he probably just finds it interesting and fun, and wants one of his pills, and then...

Want to keep it?

Or should we feed it to the dogs?

To be honest, he didn't quite understand. After all, these rich people's ideas could be quite unconventional at times, especially since they were so well-fed. None of this really concerned Gu Heng.

If Xiao Ling only wanted this, it would be too easy. He couldn't say for sure what the most precious pills were, but Gu Heng did have some pills that were specially made for aesthetic purposes, the kind with seven-colored variegation.

It does have some effect on treating cough and asthma caused by qi deficiency, but its main purpose is to look good!

"are you sure?"

Gu Heng paused for a moment, then decided it would be better to ask for clarification.

"Uh... if there's anything inappropriate, that's fine too..."

Xiao Ling hesitated.

He was terrified that his purpose might have been too obvious, and that Mr. Gu might have already seen through him. He couldn't see through Gu Heng, but Gu Heng could definitely see through him, knowing that he, at the half-step Tribulation Transcending stage, needed an eighth-grade pill to ensure a successful advancement. He feared that the moment he stepped into the clinic, Gu Heng had already seen right through him.

Therefore, Xiao Ling unconsciously wanted to soften his stance. If he really couldn't get the eighth-grade pill, it wouldn't be a bad thing. It would definitely be better than going back empty-handed or even dying on the spot!

But Gu Heng chuckled and quickly said, "No need! There's nothing wrong with it."

It seems this young master is serious.

He didn't want money, he just wanted a pill, whether for collection or to feed his dog, it didn't matter.

What reason could Gu Heng have not to satisfy him?

He has given away quite a few of these pills to others.

After saying that, Gu Heng got up, walked to the medicine cabinet next to him, opened one of the drawers, and took out a jade bottle.

“Young Master Xiao, in my opinion, the pills I refine myself are not particularly precious, but if you want them, I will give you this.” He placed the jade bottle on the table. Inside the bottle was a four-colored pill, which looked very beautiful. This was something Gu Heng had come up with ingeniously while practicing his “medical skills” proficiency. The main goal was to make it both beautiful and delicious, and it was sweet.

"How about it?"

Seeing Xiao Ling's suddenly frozen gaze and his almost silent breathing, Gu Heng had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. He felt that this pill seemed to have hit the mark with this young master Xiao Ling's aesthetic.

"This is……"

Xiao Ling smelled a faint, mysterious medicinal power, along with a faint, low dragon's roar!

He stared intently at the jade bottle, his eyes gleaming, as if he couldn't wait to swallow it whole.

This elixir has four-colored patterns.

Xiao Ling had only ever heard of a type of pill with this kind of pattern.

Among the eighth-grade pills, the "Emperor" is the Qianlong Pill! This pill requires fourteen kinds of rare and precious materials, combined with ancient dragon essence blood and ancient dragon scales, and can only be made after nearly a month of condensation. Its effect is also very simple: those who take this pill can possess the physical body of an ancient dragon within seven days!

Ancient dragons are the race with the strongest physical bodies. Their dragon scales can withstand the lightning tribulations of the nine heavens, and their bodies can regenerate endlessly!

Those tribulations of advancement that are extremely terrifying to ordinary cultivators, and could even cost them their lives if they are not careful, are nothing more than a drizzle to the ancient dragon!

With this Qianlong Pill, Xiao Ling is not only 120% confident that he will advance to the Tribulation Transcending stage, but he can also rely on this powerful physical body to defeat that desolate force without any chance to fight back!

"Take this, it should be enough for you."

Seeing the excited look on Xiao Ling's face, Gu Heng knew that he must like it, and he had also acted generously enough, so this business deal could be done well.

"This...then I shall accept it without hesitation, sir." Xiao Ling took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and carefully put the Qianlong Pill into his pocket.

He didn't want to say anything to express his gratitude. Perhaps to Mr. Gu, this Rank 8 pill was something he had exchanged for and was not worth mentioning. But Xiao Ling knew that he had invisibly saved the Nianling Sect from annihilation!

And it can go even further!

What was previously taken from the Desolate Blade Sect, Xiao Ling can take back little by little!

"So, we have an agreement, right?"

When Gu Heng saw that Xiao Ling had accepted the pills, his expression immediately relaxed.

Xiao Ling nodded: "No problem!"

After saying that, he took out a white jade token and handed it to Gu Heng.

"The Thousand Swords Hunting Grounds will reopen in a week. Your disciple can enter directly with this certificate." Gu Heng took the certificate, checked it several times, and nodded after confirming that there were no problems. "Alright, I will give it to her."

After the two settled their matter, Xiao Ling didn't linger and hurriedly took his leave with Zhu Ling.

Gu Heng put away the jade token, intending to give it to Qin Yiyao when she returned.

She went to the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop to deliver the spirit liquid, and also to get acquainted with Guild Master Feng Wuxin, so that things would be easier for her in the future.

Outside the clinic, Xiao Ling could no longer contain his excitement. He grabbed Zhu Ling's shoulder and whispered, "Thank God, the Nianling Sect is saved!"

He took out the jade bottle, his hands trembling with excitement!

Qianlong Pill!

After taking this pill, its immense medicinal power will allow him to smoothly advance to the Tribulation Transcending stage. For the next week, he will possess a powerful body indistinguishable from that of an ancient dragon, enabling him to withstand the pain of advancement and giving him a formidable fighting force when facing the desolate power afterward! Although this is only temporary, it is enough!

"Elder, how helpful is this elixir to you?"

Zhu Ling rarely saw Xiao Ling so excited, and she couldn't help but wonder what kind of pill Mr. Gu had given him.

He didn't recognize this high-level elixir.
