"It's them?" He Wude's surprised voice entered He Yiming's ears.
He Yiming was moved, so he immediately asked, "Grandpa, do you know who they are?"
"They're disciples from Spiritual Medicine Peak, and they're a generation younger than me." He Wude hesitated for a while before he continued, "Their father is an old friend of mine."
He Yiming's eyes flickered. "Grandpa, you treat them as friends, but they might not treat you as a friend."
He Wude wanted to say something, but he hesitated as if he recalled the past. More than 40 years ago, when he was expelled from the sect, there were not many people who really cared about him. Although the elders of the two ladies were from Spiritual Medicine Peak, they were definitely not as close as He Wude, so they did not treat him well.
The conversation between the grandfather and grandson was extremely soft, and they were hidden outside the cave. Although the two ladies were smart, cautious, and as cunning as foxes, they did not expect He Yiming to have such a heaven-defying ability like clairaudience. He could not believe that he could hear their conversation from so far away.
After entering the cave, the two ladies looked at each other, then they took out a bamboo hat at the same time and put it on their heads. Subsequently, one of the ladies took out a jade bottle from her pocket, removed the cap, and shook it under Yuan Lixun's nose.
After seeing their actions, He Yiming's heart inexplicably relaxed. He knew that they didn't have much killing intent. Otherwise, they wouldn't dress up like this and not let Yuan Lixun see their faces.
The smell in the bottle was obviously unpleasant, so Yuan Lixun wrinkled her delicate nose even though she was unconscious. She then slowly woke up.
He Yiming thought to himself, 'As expected of a disciple from Spiritual Medicine Peak, they even have such a high-level knockout drug.' 'An Acquired Master with Level 10 inner force actually needs to use something like that to deal with a young lady with Level 6 inner force.' From this, it could be seen how cautious these two women were.
Yuan Lixun opened her eyes, a look of confusion flashing across her eyes.
Although she was exceptionally intelligent, ever since she started following He Yiming, no matter where she went, she would always receive compliments from others. Especially on the Spiritual Medicine Peak, even someone like Ho Wuji, who was at the pinnacle of Level Ten Internal Force, didn't dare to put on airs in front of her.
So for a moment, she couldn't connect her coma with being kidnapped.
However, when she finally woke up completely, she immediately understood a little after taking in the surrounding environment with her pair of lively big eyes. At the same time, a trace of fear flashed across his eyes.
After all, she was just a young girl. Although she had He Yiming as her strong backing, it was natural for her to panic when she was suddenly trapped in such an environment.
"Little girl, you're very smart. You've saved I the trouble of talking."
An old man's voice came from one of the ladies who was wearing a bamboo hat. Their clothes were thick and wide, and coupled with the bamboo hat that covered their faces, their identities were completely hidden. If He Yiming and Ho Wuji didn't already know their identities, they would have misunderstood after hearing this sentence.
Yuan Lixun forced a smile on her face and said, "Senior, I don't know you. Did you get the wrong person?"
Although she knew that the possibility was very small, at this time, it seemed that she had no other choice but to stall for time.
"Hmph, I and Ho Wuji won't get the wrong person." The old voice continued, "We kidnapped you here to ask you something. If you tell us straightforwardly, we'll naturally let you go."
Yuan Lixun was slightly stunned, but there wasn't much joy in her eyes.
Not to mention the degree of credibility of this person's words, his question alone wouldn't be so easy to answer.
"I don't know what senior wants to ask. I'm just an ignorant little girl. I'm afraid I can't satisfy you."
The old voice sneered and said, "You haven't heard my question yet, and you're answering like this. You're obviously trying to evade."
Yuan Lixun's face changed a few times, and she lowered her head and said, "I don't dare."
That person was about to speak, but saw the other person make a gesture. He suddenly understood and said angrily, "Little girl, you dare to stall for time in front of me."
Yuan Lixun complained in her heart, but her face showed a blank look.
That person snorted and said, "I don't care if you're pretending to be stupid or not. You only need to know that if you want to live, you'd better tell us honestly. Where did He Yiming hide the Primordial Gold Core?"
He Yiming, his granddaughter, and Yuan Lixun, who were both inside and outside the cave, instantly understood that everything was a crime caused by the possession of a jade ring. He Yiming also knew that they must have searched a few rooms when he and Yuan Lixun were not around. But in the end, they didn't find anything, so they thought of Yuan Lixun.
He Yiming's eyebrows twitched, and he stood up. Since he knew the two women's intention, there was no need for him to listen to them anymore.
However, at this moment, He Wude stretched out his hand and pulled him back, stopping him from continuing his action.
He looked over suspiciously and heard the old man say in a low voice, "Let's see how Lixun answers."
He Yiming frowned and asked, "Grandfather, why are you doing this?"
He Wude looked at him deeply and said, "I want to see if she can be the daughter-in-law of the He family and is worthy of you."
He Yiming was slightly startled, then he revealed a determined smile and said slowly, "Grandfather, I trust her."
In the cave, that person suddenly exuded a strong murderous aura that made one's hair stand on end. The moment a Level Ten Internal Strength expert released his aura, it was far from what a Level Six Internal Strength girl could withstand.
"I know He Yiming is refining the pill and will be back soon, so don't be delusional about stalling for time." That person's voice was as cold as ice. "Whether it's you or us, we only have one chance. You have to think carefully. If we don't get the pill, I guarantee that you'll regret being born a girl. "
Yuan Lixun's expression couldn't help but change, and there was even a hint of despair in her eyes.
That person's increasingly cold voice continued, "Don't tell me that he carries the pill with him. If that's your answer, then you should be able to imagine your end."
Yuan Lixun's lips trembled, and she said in a trembling voice, "I, I'm just an insignificant concubine of his. How would I know the whereabouts of the Innate Golden Pill? You've really found the wrong person."
That person laughed and said, "There's still 15 minutes left. If this time passes, then even if you tell us the truth, we won't go up again." Her voice gradually turned cold as she said, "We don't want to face an Innate Master directly."
Yuan Lixun finally gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'll tell you, but you have to promise me that once you know the news, you must let me go."
That person's voice immediately turned gentle and said, "Don't worry, we have no intention of taking your life. As long as we get the Golden Pill, we'll definitely ensure that you'll be unharmed. "
Outside the cave, a sharp and cold light flashed across He Wude's eyes.
Yuan Lixun took a deep breath and said, "Young Master has already sent the Golden Pill to Old Master. It should be with him."
He Yiming and He Wude were stunned. They looked at each other and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Yuan Lixun was also smart. She could tell that since these two people didn't dare to meet He Yiming face to face, they definitely weren't Innate Masters. Since that was the case, she blamed the whereabouts of the Golden Pill on He Wude.
Although He Wude wasn't a Xiantian Master, he was at the pinnacle of Stage Ten Internal Force, which was second only to a Xiantian Master. No matter how capable the two women were, it wouldn't be easy for them to take He Wude down. Moreover, once He Yiming and He Yiming found out that Yuan Lixun was missing, they would definitely be on high alert. It would basically be impossible for them to plot against He Wude.
Inside the cave, the two women looked at each other. They lived on Spirit Medicine Peak, so they naturally knew about the relationship between He Yiming and his grandson. Now that they thought about it, what she said was true. However, to them, there wasn't much of a difference whether the Golden Pill was with He Yiming or He Wude.
That person scoffed and said eerily, "If that's the case, we won't be able to get the Golden Pill."
Yuan Lixun's body trembled. She understood what she meant, but she said, "Old Master He might have the Golden Pill, but he might not have it with him. Besides, he likes to walk around. If you go there now, you might be able to find the Golden Pill in his room. "
That person fell silent because she was very moved by Yuan Lixun's suggestion.
However, right at this moment, the other woman let out a long sigh and said, "Second sister, there's no need to ask." After she finished speaking, she took off her bamboo hat and revealed her true appearance.
The woman who used the ventriloquism was stunned. She hesitated for a while before she took off her bamboo hat too.
Yuan Lixun's expression became increasingly ugly. If the two of them did not remove their bamboo hats, then she would still have a chance to live. However, the actions of the two of them at this moment made it clear that they wanted to take her life.
At this point, Yuan Lixun could no longer suppress the fear in her eyes.
"Young lady, do you want to know who we are?"
"Do I have a choice?" Yuan Lixun forced the skin on her face to move.
"I'm Gu Lianying, and this is my sworn sister, Bei Youhui." The woman with the tenth level of inner force smiled.
Yuan Lixun nodded at them as a greeting, but countless thoughts crossed her mind at the speed of lightning. However, no matter how hard she racked her brains, she could not think of a way to get out of this predicament.
"Big Sister, we can actually try our luck." Bei Youhui sighed, and there was a hint of pity in her voice. After revealing her face and revealing her real name, Bei Youhui understood that the clever and cute young lady could not be kept alive.
Gu Lianying still had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold. "Second Younger Sister, do you think she's telling the truth?"
Bei Youhui was slightly stunned. "Did you see a flaw?"
"No." Gu Lianying answered coldly, "I don't know if the young lady is telling the truth, but no matter what, we can't get the Golden Pill anymore."
Bei Youhui wanted to say something, but she hesitated. It was clear that she was not resigned to the outcome.
Gu Liangying's face sank, and she said, "Second Sister, He Yiming is a Great Heaven Realm expert. A figure like him is too formidable. So long as he notices even the slightest clue, we can forget about hiding it." She looked outside the cave and said gloomily, "According to the pattern in the past, even if He Yiming hasn't finished his alchemy homework, he's almost done. We can't take the risk, not at all. "
Only then did Bei Youhui sigh in disappointment and fall silent.
Gu Qiangying turned his head around. His originally peaceful face immediately turned ferocious as he said, "Little girl, I don't care if you're lying or not, but I'm very angry because I can't obtain the Golden Pellet, so I can only vent my anger on you."
Yuan Lixun was immediately horrified when she made eye contact with Gu Lianying. She was in complete despair.
In the past, she could have used Gu Lianying and Bei Youhui's greed to seek a final chance of survival, but she did not expect Gu Lianying to be so cautious and unwilling to take the slightest risk.
She closed her eyes, and her breathing quickened. Her heart beat like thunder, and she was not willing to die here.
Gu Lianying sneered and raised her hand. "Since you can't satisfy us, we can't go back on our words. Second Younger Sister once said that she'll make you regret being born a girl … "
Yuan Lixun's heart trembled, and even her body began to tremble from excessive fear.
Gu Lianying's laughter gradually became shrill. It sounded like two pieces of glass were constantly rubbing against each other, causing a loud noise.
However, at this moment, a clear voice cut through the air and calmly entered everyone's ears.
"I think you should pray for your own good fortune."
Gu Lianying's laughter came to an abrupt halt, and she looked as if she had seen a ghost. She immediately reacted and reached for Yuan Lixun, who could not resist at all.
However, there was a blur in front of her eyes and Yuan Lixun disappeared in front of her just like that. A living person just disappeared inexplicably like that.
At that moment, Gu Lianying and Bei Youhui felt a bone-chilling coldness rush up, almost freezing them.
Gu Lianying suddenly screamed, "Second Younger Sister, run!"
Bei Youhui turned around without any hesitation and ran toward the entrance of the cave, while Gu Lianying followed closely behind. Nobody stopped Bei Youhui when she ran out of the cave. Once she was out of the cave, she paused and immediately walked on another path. She bent her body to reduce the possibility of being exposed as much as possible, and took the opposite path from Bei Youhui, who was desperately running away.
At this point, Gu Lianying was slightly relieved. She knew that she could no longer have a foothold on Mount Heng after what had happened. As such, she simply gave up on the thought of returning to the mountain. She would be thankful if she could successfully escape.
However, as soon as the thought crossed her mind, she stopped in her tracks.
A young man stood in front of her with his hands behind his back as if he had been waiting there for thousands of years.
Behind the young man, Yuan Lixun, who had regained her mobility, looked at her quietly. Unlike before, Yuan Lixun no longer looked afraid, and there was not much hatred in her eyes when she looked at Gu Lianying. There was only an indescribable pity.
In the blink of an eye, the roles between the two of them had changed.
Gu Lianying's face was ashen, and she turned to look by instinct.
He Yiming smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. My ancestor will take care of your good sister personally, so she won't get lost."
Perhaps knowing that she could not escape, Gu Lianying strangely calmed down. She sighed and asked, "Great Elder He, shouldn't you still be in the alchemy room? How did you find out that Young Lady Yuan went missing?"
He Yiming answered calmly, "You're unlucky. The homework that the Medicine Great Elder gave me today took half of the usual time, so I was able to find Lixun smoothly."
Gu Lianying's mouth twitched. 'So that's the reason. It's not something that I can control.'
He Yiming questioned coldly, "Gu Lianying, you're also a disciple of the Spiritual Medicine Peak, so why did you do something that angers both Heaven and Man? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the sect's rules?"
"Angers both Heaven and Man?" Gu Lianying sneered. "Angers both Heaven and Man? It's just a trick from Innate Masters like you." Her voice became hoarse due to despair. "You Innate Masters actually divided all the Golden Cores and didn't leave us any hope." Her eyes gradually became resentful, and her voice contained a bone-deep hatred. "The sect's rules can only punish ordinary disciples, but they can't restrict Innate Elders. Besides, if you didn't take the Golden Cores for yourselves and distributed them instead, why would I do that? "
He Yiming listened quietly, then sighed in the end. "There are only two Innate Golden Cores, so how do you want us to distribute them?"
Gu Lianying's eyes became even more resentful. She said, "Since you have two, why can't you give me one? Do you care about ordinary disciples like us?"
He Yiming looked at her playfully, then suddenly laughed. "Give you a Golden Core? Why should I? "
Gu Lianying was stunned. "I've been working hard at the Spiritual Medicine Peak for decades, so of course, I'm qualified to receive a Golden Core. It's unfair that you don't give it to me."
He Yiming laughed and said, "There are at least 30 to 40 people in Mount Heng who are qualified to receive a Golden Core. Whether it's in terms of experience or strength, you're only so-so. Even if the Great Elder gives you a Golden Core, you won't have a share. "
Gu Lianying opened her mouth as if He Yiming had hit the nail on the head. However, her eyes were soon replaced by a crazed look.
"I don't care. The Innate Golden Core is mine. Nobody can take it away from me," she screamed.
He Yiming scoffed. All of a sudden, his ears twitched, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He swayed and returned at lightning speed.
Yuan Lixun did not even see how he did it before she returned to her original spot. At the same time, Gu Lianying's body swayed a few times before she finally fell to the ground. However, her eyes were still wide open as if she was complaining about something.
A long sigh was heard from behind the tree as the Medicine Man slowly walked out. He looked at the corpse on the ground and lamented.
