Gu Xuan stopped and slowly turned around.
What he saw was a young lady with delicate features.
The little girl was very thin and weak, giving people the feeling that she was malnourished.
However, Gu Xuan could tell at a glance that this was not malnourishment.
Although the little girl looked to be only sixteen or seventeen, her realm was a solid initial level Saint.
Although martial artists of this level belonged to the lowest level in the Southern Heaven Gate and could be bullied by anyone, in a small, remote place, they could still be considered as a big shot.
The reason why she was thin and weak was because of poison, a poison that would not kill, but would make people wish they were dead.
This poison could only be neutralized by Pill Emperor level alchemists.
However, it was obvious that this little girl was not qualified to meet any Pill Emperor.
Seeing that Gu Xuan did not speak and seemed to be hesitating, the little girl was a little anxious.
"Young Master, although my strength is low, I know the way. With me leading the way, you can save a lot of trouble.
As long as you have a Heaven Rank Spirit Treasure, for an expert like you, killing a few ferocious beasts is enough. "
In the distance, at the intersection of Huarong Road, the middle-aged woman who was also a guide of the Treasure Heaven Trading Company snorted disdainfully.
"What two idiots. One is so cheap that he's willing to be a guide for a Heaven Rank Spirit Treasure. What a disgrace to my Treasure Heaven Trading Company.
A Heaven Rank Spirit Treasure is not even enough for me to buy clothes and accessories.
The other idiot, I know you're poor, but I didn't know that you're so poor that you can't even take out a Heaven Rank Spirit Treasure.
What kind of young master can be as poor as you? "
These words caused the woman from the Snake Lady Clan to laugh loudly.
"Isn't that so? Those who dare to come to Southern Sky Gate, even those poor people who can't even bear to hire a guide, have at least one or two Mythic Spirit Treasures.
These days, those who can't even take out a Heaven Rank Spirit Treasure are rarer than the ants on the ground. "
When the little girl heard these two people mocking Gu Xuan, she could not help but be even more anxious, afraid that Gu Xuan would be mocked and run away.
"Sister Hu Jiu, Sister She Liu, this young master is just short of cash.
If he goes to Southern Sky Gate, he'll definitely have a great harvest. Who knows, he might even earn a few Mythic Spirit Treasures.
A Heaven Rank Spirit Treasure is nothing.
Even if you really can't earn it, you can always buy it on credit. You can give it to me the next time you get it. "
The little girl thought that Gu Xuan was being mocked because of her. Hu Jiu and She Liu didn't like her, so she just wanted to take Gu Xuan up the mountain as soon as possible. She was even willing to accept credit.
Hu Jiu and She Liu laughed so hard that they almost couldn't stand straight.
"I've been a guide for so long, but I've never seen anyone take credit!
Looks like I'll have to broaden my horizons today. "
"Quick, Young Master, let us take a look at your account.
I've never seen such a despicable guide!
I've really opened my eyes today. "
The two of them mocked in unison.
The little girl bit her lips, her face flushed red. She was ashamed and angry, but she didn't dare to act out.
Gu Xuan clasped his hands behind his back, looking up in the direction of the mountain.
"Since you're so sincere, I'll ask you to be my guide.
However, Aunt Hu Jiu and She Liu were right. Heavenly Spirit Treasures were getting rarer and rarer these days.
I really don't have anything on me. "
Gu Xuan's words made Hu Jiu and She Liu laugh so hard that they almost cried.
This guy was so poor that he didn't even have a Heavenly Spirit Treasure, yet he wanted to freeload.
The little girl was obviously disappointed, but she had already made a promise, so she didn't want to break it.
"That's fine. You can give it to me when it's convenient.
Let's go. I'm most familiar with Huarong Road, let's … "
Before the little girl could finish, Gu Xuan interrupted her.
"No hurry, I haven't finished speaking. I don't like to take credit.
I really don't have a Heavenly Spirit Treasure.
However, I do have a Mystical Spirit Treasure! "
Gu Xuan smiled. He opened his right hand, and an upper-grade Mystical Spirit Treasure appeared in his hand.
It was a bell called the Illusory Bell. He took it when he was counting the treasures he got from the Shi Family five years ago.
He planned to give it to Gu Ling to protect herself, but he forgot about it when he went into seclusion.
Of course, Gu Ling didn't need such a small upper-grade Mystical Spirit Treasure now.
The Illusory Bell wouldn't be able to stop anyone who could hurt her.
Gu Xuan deliberately activated a trace of the bell's power, revealing its identity as an upper-grade Mystical Spirit Treasure.
"What are you waiting for? Take it. Lead the way for me. This is the reward you deserve."
Gu Xuan stuffed the Illusory Bell into the little girl's hand.
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then shook her head repeatedly.
"Sir, you're too polite. You don't need so much to ask me to lead the way.
This is enough for you to ask a high-level Profound Sage to lead the way. I'm only a low-level Sage Realm warrior and can't fight. A Heavenly Spirit Treasure is enough.
This is too valuable, I can't accept it … "
At this moment, Hu Jiu and She Liu's eyes widened, and their breathing quickened.
They couldn't wait to snatch the Illusory Bell from the little girl's hand.
If you don't want it, you can give it to us!
Gu Xuan didn't even look at Hu Jiu and She Liu. He just walked toward Huarong Road.
"I said I'll give it to you, so I'll give it to you. Others fight to give it to me, but I don't want to accept it.
You're also unlucky that I happen to have such a piece of trash on me.
Otherwise, I would've thrown out a top-grade Mystical Spirit Treasure. "
Gu Xuan wasn't lying. In the past five years, who knew how many peak Profound Sages had brought high-grade and top-grade Mystical Spirit Treasures to the Emotion Severing Sect just to see him.
Unfortunately, Gu Xuan ignored them all.
Now that the gifts had been brought, these peak Profound Sages were too embarrassed to take them away, so they gave them to Granny Ding and Pill Emperor Sunflower.
The two responded to the call of the first elder, and as long as it was a gift, they wouldn't refuse it.
For the current Emotion Severing Sect, although there weren't many top-grade Mystical Spirit Treasures, high-grade Mystical Spirit Treasures were really common.
The little girl hurriedly chased after Gu Xuan.
"But Sir, I'm really not worth this much.
You'd better take it back. "
Gu Xuan naturally wouldn't take it back.
"I said that this is your reward.
I've never suffered a loss. Since I'm giving it to you, it means that I think you're worth it.
Unless you doubt my eyesight.
Or, you don't intend to serve me wholeheartedly. "
Gu Xuan clasped his hands behind his back and walked towards the top of Huarong Path as if he was taking a stroll.
After hearing Gu Xuan's words, the little girl finally put the Illusory Sound Bell into her spatial ring with a red face.
Gu Xuan's words of "worth it" and "serving him wholeheartedly" seemed to have caused the little girl's mind to drift to something that shouldn't have drifted to.
If Gu Xuan knew what the little girl was thinking at this moment, he would definitely shout that he was wronged. He really didn't mean anything other than to let the little girl lead the way!
Soon, the two disappeared from Hu Jiu and She Liu's eyes one after the other.
Even now, their eyes were still red.
They were jealous!
That young master was so generous, casually giving them a high-grade Mystical Spirit Treasure!
A high-grade Mystical Spirit Treasure was enough to invite the two of them to lead the way, no, invite them to do whatever he wanted!
What kind of eyes did you have? You actually took a fancy to a little girl?
The two of them regretted it so much that their intestines turned green. That young master's identity was definitely not ordinary. If they had known earlier, they would have shamelessly become his guides even if it was free.
Unfortunately, it was all too late.
"Humph! Hu Jiu, you've been slacking off since I'm not here?
Yi, your eyes tell me that you are in a state of regret, pain, and unwillingness. What happened? "
An old man with a goatee and white hair appeared in front of Hu Jiu.
"Ah! Shopkeeper, it's you.
I was just about to contact you. There's a big fish on our Huarong Path.
This person's strength shouldn't be strong, but he's extremely rich … "
Hu Jiu's eyes flashed with greed as she told the old man about Gu Xuan through telepathy.
The old man's eyes were also filled with greed after hearing it.
"Very well, I'll immediately take a shortcut to Huarong Path. Hehe, I'm going to make a fortune this time!"
The old man hurriedly left.
On Huarong Path, Gu Xuan's lips suddenly curled into a smile. "Right, what's your name?"
