Chapter 239: Do You Really Want Me to Participate?
??
Outside the Medicine King Valley’s Mountain Gate, Fang Qinyu’s face flushed red. She wanted to refute the guard’s words but did not know what to say.
Compared to the Medicine King Valley’s status in the southern continent, their Moyu Tower was indeed only a small sect. However, this was not a reason for them to allow others to humiliate them!
At this moment, Gu Xi patted her shoulder and turned her gaze to the guards in front of her, “We were recommended by Tower Master Fang. I hope that you can report this to us.”
“Pui! What bullsh*t Tower Master? I’ve never heard of him before. Hurry up and scram!”
“That’s right. If you don’t scram, don’t blame us for being impolite!”
As they spoke, a few guards drew their swords one after another, as if they were prepared to make a move.
Seeing this, Little Nine frowned, and a faint pressure spread out, covering the entire mountain gate in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, a few guards’ legs went soft, and they couldn’t even hold their weapons anymore. They all collapsed to the ground, and their faces were filled with terror.
Little Nine had entered the Quasi-saint stage, and these guards were only in the Nirvana stage. The slightest release of spiritual power was enough to crush them all.
“Calm down.” Gu Xi shook his head and stopped Little Nine in time.
If he was a second later, the people in front of her would probably be annihilated in an instant.
One had to know that he had a favor to ask of someone, so he could not make things too ugly. Otherwise, if the so-called Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley did not heal him in anger, it would be even more difficult for him to return to the Eastern Continent.
Seeing that Gu Xi had spoken, Little Nine finally withdrew her pressure.
On the other hand, the fear on the faces of the few guards did not diminish in the slightest. The way they looked at Little Nine was as if they were looking at a monster.
“What are you doing?”
At the same time, a voice sounded.
The few of them followed the source of the voice and looked over. They saw a man dressed in the uniform of a disciple of the Medicine King Valley slowly walking over from the valley.
“Senior Brother Cao, these people want to forcefully barge in!”
Seeing the people who came, the few guards could not help but heave a sigh of relief in their hearts. They hurriedly scrambled over to Cao Hua’s side and added oil to the fire.
Hearing this, Cao Hua’s eyes narrowed slightly and his gaze instantly sank. His gaze coldly swept over Gu Xi and the other two as he coldly said, “To dare forcefully barge into my Medicine King Valley, you really have some guts!”
As the sound of his voice faded, Cao Hua’s gaze paused on Little Nine’s body. A trace of lewdness that was difficult to detect flashed across the depths of his eyes.
It was no wonder. With Little Nine’s current appearance after transforming, any man would take a second look at her.
“We are from Moyu Tower and have come to pay a visit to the Valley Master under the orders of Tower Lord Fang,” Gu Xi could not be bothered to explain so much as he indifferently said.
“So you are a guest from Moyu Tower. It’s a little impolite.”
Cao Hua raised his brows and suddenly slapped that guard’s face. He sternly said, “Who asked you to be so rude to a guest? Hurry up and apologize!”
That guard was also stunned. However, due to Cao Hua’s status in the valley, he could only do as he was told. “I’m sorry. I was blind earlier.”
Gu Xi shook his head. He glanced at Cao Hua intentionally or unintentionally as he continued, “It’s alright. Please help us to report this.”
“There’s no need to report. Please follow me.”
Cao Hua chuckled as he turned around and led the way into the mountain gate.
Gu Xi and the other two slowly followed.
However, the few of them had entered the Medicine King Valley for more than ten minutes, yet they did not see a single person. This caused Gu Xi to be extremely puzzled.
“Your timing is quite coincidental. Today just so happens to be our Medicine King Valley’s annual Medicine Refinement Grand Meeting. It is likely that most of the disciples are currently observing in the square.”
Cao Hua seemed to have seen through Gu Xi’s doubts as he explained.
Upon hearing these words, an expression of interest involuntarily surfaced on Gu Xi’s face. He knew a little about pill refinement, but he did not know how this medicine refinement was.
“If the few of you are interested, we can go and take a look.” Seeing Gu Xi’s expression, Cao Hua spoke indifferently.
Gu Xi nodded. Since they had already arrived at the Medicine King Valley, there was no need to delay.
Soon, under Cao Hua’s lead, a large square appeared in front of them.
At this moment, thousands of Medicine King Valley disciples were gathered here. In the center, there were dozens of various medicinal cauldrons that were emitting wisps of green smoke. The air was filled with the smell of various spirit herbs.
“Eldest Senior Brother is here!”
It was unknown who shouted, but many gazes were cast in their direction. Everyone even spontaneously made a path for them.
Cao Hua seemed to enjoy this kind of treatment. The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose a little. Then, he took Gu Xi and the other two and strode through the crowd.
“Who are these people? How come I’ve never seen them before?”
“They’re probably here to ask for medicine again.”
“Look quickly, that woman by the side is quite good-looking!”
As soon as these words were said, more and more gazes fell on Little Nine.
Fortunately, she had Gu Xi’s instructions, so she endured it and did not flare up.
If it was according to her character, these people would definitely dig out their eyeballs if they dared to size her up so brazenly.
“Is this so-called medicine refinement merely refining the essence of the spirit medicine?”
Gu Xi asked somewhat disappointedly as he swept her gaze across the many medicinal cauldrons in the arena.
Cao Hua glanced at Gu Xi strangely when he heard this, but he also nodded his head noncommittally. He said, “Although that’s the case, don’t underestimate this simple word ‘refining’. It’s extremely difficult to refine the essence of the spirit medicine without a single flaw.”
“Is it very difficult?” Gu Xi curled his lips.
“Oh? If that’s the case, how about we make a bet?”
“How do you want to bet?”
“If you can get into the top three here, then I’ll immediately bring you to see the Valley Master. If you can’t, then please go back the way you came.”
“Then we won’t bet!” without waiting for Gu Xi’s reply, Fang Qinyu immediately said.
“If that’s the case, then please leave.”
The smile on Cao Hua’s face instantly disappeared, and his voice became incomparably cold, “Do you really think that anyone can meet our Valley Master as they please? If everyone in the world comes to visit our Valley Master, don’t tell me that even our Valley Master has to meet him?”
One had to know that many people had squeezed their heads out to meet the Valley Master, but they couldn’t even meet him once!
“Are you sure you want me to participate?” Gu Xi’s expression did not change, but he slightly raised his eyebrows.
The reason why he was disappointed with this so-called medicine refinement was because it was not challenging at all.
Refining the essence, to put it bluntly, was just extracting the impurities in the spirit medicine.
There was no one better than him at this kind of work.
