A king-level expert
"This Feng Yuan is quite crafty."
Gu Xuan smiled. Originally, he had thought that if these people didn't know what was good for them, he would directly use violence to deal with them again. Now, it was much easier.
After walking forward for a short while, Gu Xuan smelled a strong medicinal fragrance, mixed with a raw aura and the smell of mud. In front of him were two medicinal fields, sparsely planted with spiritual herbs.
"The ones on the left are first grade spirit herbs, the ones on the right are second grade spirit herbs … Eh, the ones in the middle are …"
Gu Xuan discovered that in the middle of the two medicine fields, there was still a small medicine field that was not too obvious. The spirit herbs planted on it were clearly more than a level stronger than the other two sides.
"Grade three spirit herb Purple Luo Vine, Grade three spirit herb Snake Venom Grass, Grade four spirit herb Blood Lingzhi! A fourth-grade spirit herb, Ghost Grass! Why is there a Tier 4 spirit herb here? "
Gu Xuan was slightly taken aback. In the county city, Grade Two Spiritual Medicine was already considered to be at the top.
There might be third grade spiritual herbs, but very few people could grow them. Most of them were bought from other places at a high price.
As for Grade Four Spiritual Herbs, there was probably no one in the entire county city who could buy them, let alone grow them. Furthermore, he had never heard of such a capable person in the Gu Clan.
"Oh well, I'm here to steal, so why do I care so much? I'll just take them all. These spirit medicines alone are enough to push me to the peak of the Spirit grade!"
Gu Xuan licked his lips and extended his hand to grab a stalk of Grade Three Spirit Medicine.
Weng!
When he was two inches away from the elixir, Gu Xuan felt as if his palm had touched a barrier and was bounced back.
"Restriction? Only those above the King level can set up prohibitions when their flame power has solidified. How come the Gu Clan has one? Does the Gu Clan have a King level cultivator now? "
Gu Xuan was slightly taken aback.
Rumble!
A thunderous voice rang out. An illusory palm swept across the sky and charged towards Gu Xuan.
"External release of the power of fire, a King level master!"
Gu Xuan's expression changed drastically. As a former peerless expert, he naturally understood the strength of the person who had attacked.
He was certain that this person was at the King Realm, or even above it. An existence of this level could no longer be compensated by his means.
"Run!"
Without any hesitation, Gu Xuan executed the Roaming Cloud Steps. His entire person turned into an illusion as he fled frantically.
Gu Xuan clenched his teeth heavily as the invisible large palm covered his head. He poured all the Flame Strength in his body into his feet and raised his speed to the limit. This crazy absorption caused his face to turn a little pale.
Boom!
The huge palm brushed past Gu Xuan's body and landed on the ground. Immediately, the ground cracked and the cracks extended for dozens of feet.
....
A voice filled with surprise came from afar. Clearly, he found it very strange that Gu Xuan was able to escape his attack.
...
The giant palm flew into the sky again, and at the same time, it grew several times larger, engulfing the entire area.
Gu Xuan felt as if he was being pulled by a suction force, and no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to break free.
The Icy Soul Cold Flame in Gu Xuan's body also trembled a little, but Gu Xuan forcibly suppressed it. This kind of difference in strength was not something a Sky level warrior could overcome. If he exposed the Icy Soul Cold Flame, he would be killed.
......
Gu Xuan's resistance was futile. In the end, he was firmly sucked into the palm of the giant hand. Gu Xuan spread his limbs and stuck to the palm like a piece of iron attracted by a giant magnet.
"Brat, how dare you try to snatch my elixirs!"
Unknowingly, a black-clothed elder had appeared beside the elixir field.
The elder waved his hand and the giant hand dragged Gu Xuan over. In the end, Gu Xuan was casually thrown to the ground.
Gu Xuan finally saw the face of the black-clothed man clearly.
Judging from his appearance, this person seemed to be in his early fifties. However, he didn't seem to be in his fifties. It wasn't wrong to say that he was in his seventies or eighties.
After entering the King Realm, one's lifespan would be doubled. Normally, one could live up to one hundred and fifty years old. This person was most likely over one hundred years old. However, because of his high realm, he looked much younger.
"This is the so-called old man, Ghost Elder?"
Gu Xuan cursed in his heart. He cursed the family servant who told him about this a thousand times. He thought this person was just a person of virtue and prestige. He didn't expect him to be such a great expert.
"Kid, tell me. Why did you steal my elixirs?" Ghost Elder sat down and picked up a dirty jug of wine to drink.
"To refine elixirs," Gu Xuan calmed himself down and said calmly.
"To refine elixirs?" Ghost Elder's withered face revealed a playful expression. "This is the first time I've heard that a kid like you can refine elixirs. Hurry up and come up with a reason. Whether it's to heal your father or to repay his kindness by stealing elixirs, make me believe you and I'll let you go."
Ghost Elder looked at Gu Xuan with interest and took a sip of wine.
All these years, he had been in a small place like the Gu Clan. He was too lonely. If an ordinary person dared to touch his things, he would beat them half to death and then throw them out.
However, Gu Xuan seemed to know that he was an expert above the King level. Not only did he dodge his casual palm strike, he was also so calm in front of him. This made him interested.
"I am indeed refining elixirs. If you don't believe me, I can make a bet with you." Gu Xuan glanced at Ghost Elder and said with a smile.
He could tell that Ghost Elder didn't want to kill him. Maybe he just found it interesting. Without any danger to his life, with Gu Xuan's experience, he wouldn't lose his composure in front of an expert that he looked down on in his previous life.
"Bet on what?" Ghost Elder's grain-sized eyes lit up. He was looking forward to it.
When the people of the Gu Clan saw him, they were either submissive or scared witless. Gu Xuan was the first person who dared to say the word "bet" to him.
"Bet on whether I know how to refine elixirs or not!" Gu Xuan said straightforwardly.
"Refining elixirs is good. I like refining elixirs the most!"
Ghost Elder rubbed his hands and became even more excited. "Since it's a bet, we have to bet something. How about this? If you really know how to refine elixirs, I'll take you as my disciple. If you don't, you'll work here every day. How about you be my plaything?"
"Plaything?" A fierce look appeared in Gu Xuan's eyes. After living for two lives, this was the first person who dared to ask him to be a plaything.
Feeling that Gu Xuan's mood wasn't right, Ghost Elder quickly said, "What? If you're not satisfied, don't be angry. Everything can be discussed. How about this? How about you make a bet? No, how about this. If you win, I'll take you as my disciple. If you lose, you'll stay here and do odd jobs. "
"No need. I like to be more direct. It just depends on whether you have the guts to bet with me." Gu Xuan shook his head and then looked at Ghost Elder provocatively.
"What? You're saying that I don't have the guts? " Ghost Elder's eyes widened. "Let me tell you. Back then, I was able to follow the Emperor … Hmph. You won't understand even if I say this! Hurry up and tell me, how do you want to bet? "
