Gu Zuo silently felt that his IQ wasn't high enough to be useful.
His big brother could work out many strategies on end for whatever he came across. He simply couldn't keep up. It was now that he recalled those scenes just then, and at last he slowly digested what happened.
Certainly, if he set out to save them prematurely, he could've definitely helped the other side to bear the pressure. In addition, the four of them could've been saved, but if it was like that, they wouldn't have seen the despicable behavior of that senior sect brother Hu and the other woman. And if it was never seen, wouldn't making friends with that kind of person be burying a hidden danger for one's future self? That kind of person was completely unreliable!
On the contrary, by waiting till they faced despair, one could clearly see who had moral qualities between the companions… The results? There were those who were loyal and those who were treacherous.
Naturally, this big brother of his set out to save those two loyal ones.
Seeking these emotional investments, profitable investments, and so on would be worth it.
Should it be said that…his dear big brother deserved to be called the "profiteer" who could expand his clan businesses?
Of course, these words weren't ones Gu Zuo would say out loud. He only praised his big brother in his heart.
On the side, Xun Suying said again: "I wouldn't know, but what plans do you two have now? Will you go back to the sect?"
Liu Wuyan also looked towards the two.
Gu Zuo turned his head and looked at Gongyi Tianheng.
Three pairs of eyes all beheld this exceptional, moonlit young man.
Tianheng calmly said: "I came seeking a breakthrough opportunity. I still have energy left over, so I won't be going back for now. But senior sect sister Xun and senior sect brother Liu have received a shock, so it'd be better to head down the mountain a bit earlier."
Liu Wuyan raised his eyes to look at the sky.
Indeed, after distributing the prey, the sky had darkened. If they didn't get going, they would need to sleep outdoors on the mountain.
And now was clearly not the time for sleeping outdoors.
Gu Zuo stealthily looked at Tianheng. Once he saw him faintly nod his head, he took out two jade bottles from his sleeve. He handed them over to Xun Suying and said: "Senior sect sister Xun, this is the young master's frequently used Qi Linking Pills and Revitalization Pills. You and senior sect brother Liu used up a lot of energy and received injuries…"
If they didn't express any goodwill at this time, then when would they?
Xun Suying clearly gave a distracted look, but she still took them with a smile. She off-handedly asked: "These are ones that junior sect brother Gu refined? Junior sect brother Gongyi is very lucky."
Gu Zuo promptly shook his head: "Where could I have such skills…They're refined by the young master's subordinate suppliers. I just helped the young master carry them."
Xun Suying also didn't feel that they were ones refined by Gu Zuo. Hearing this, she faced him and encouragingly smiled: "Junior sect brother Gu is still young. Wait for a while, and one day, you'll certainly be able to refine these pills."
Gu Zuo's face blushed slightly. He seemed a little embarra.s.sed: "…Thank you, senior sect sister Xun, for thinking highly of me."
This embarra.s.sment really was embarra.s.sment. But he wasn't embarra.s.sed due to praise. Rather, it was because he still wasn't too experienced in lying so casually…
Xun Suying's impression of Gu Zuo was pretty good, and she nodded her head.
If it was on a normal day, let alone the affiliated nominal disciple of an outer sect disciple, even if they were an outer sect disciple, were it not for possessing a background to practice inner sect martial skills, she wouldn't have set aside her arrogance. However, after pa.s.sing through a moment of life and death, she instead restrained her arrogance, and her nature was even a bit magnanimous.
Liu Wuyan had silently packed away everything already. At this moment, he saw that Xun Suying had finished talking with the other two people. He stood up: "This Liu and senior sect sister shall take our leave."
Gongyi Tianheng smiled: "Good bye."
Gu Zuo hastily said: "Have a safe trip!"
After Liu Wuyan and Xun Suying cupped their hands, they both turned around and went down the mountain.
They certainly wouldn't remain here to spend the night. They still needed to go back and find those two who backstabbed them, and settle their debts!
Once the figures of the two completely vanished, Gu Zuo looked to Tianheng: "Big brother, why have me give them medicine?"
Those two should've been much richer than them, and they would've had medicinal pills for treatment. But when he previously received his big brother's transmission, he still thought he'd misheard.
Tianheng answered: "We always need to make even more people aware that I have medicinal pills of outstanding quality. If Xun Suying and Liu Wuyan remember this day's matters, then they could expand a few channels for me."
Gu Zuo understood instantly.
So, the medicinal pills were put to use as advertis.e.m.e.nt, huh… So long as the quality was up to the mark, even if they were looked upon as life-saving gifts, those two could promote a few for them.
Tianheng smiled again: "Moreover, having them use this kind of method is a favor compared to the greedy mouths we'll encounter in the future."
Gu Zuo twitched his mouth: "Big brother won't open his greedy mouth…"
Gongyi Tianheng raised an eyebrow, and had no words to speak.
He only thought in his heart: If he needed to, how couldn't he? It was just that, his attempt this time wasn't for short-term benefits. Rather, he was seeking further cooperation. What his little pharmacist thought and considered was still too straightforward.
Afterwards, the two stayed in the White Crane Ravine for another day and a half.
Regrettably, although Tianheng even went to pick a wild beast that approached grade five like the Violet-Flame Lion and received extremely serious wounds, after slaying that wild beast in a pyrrhic victory, he still couldn't break through.
This could only prove that it probably still wasn't time.
As a result, Tianheng temporarily gave up their adventure in the White Crane Ravine. He whistled for the wild horse that was released, and then they departed.
Gu Zuo's mood was extremely good. In his storage s.p.a.ce, their harvest truly wasn't small.
After counting, the Silken Mist Gra.s.s could be sold for more than one thousand gold…
After returning, Gu Zuo still refined medicine on his own. Dragon Two, who could already be considered his personal bodyguard, was responsible for helping him take the Silken Mist Gra.s.s to Market Street's medicine store to sell.
This time, Gu Zuo's personal funds obtained as much as one thousand gold. Although it still couldn't compare to his big brother's casual spending, earning a little bit of profit was a profit. This little bit was one that he earned through great effort. His heart was quite satisfied.
Now, let's talk about those three pharmacists. Presently, they had enough medicinal herbs for practice that their medicine refinement levels rose substantially every day. Regardless of whether they ardently loved the path of medicine refinement or they wanted to learn more skills, while they continuously advanced themselves, they became even more dead-set on serving their employer, Gongyi Tianheng.
Thus, whatever Tianheng said, they listened. Even though he ordered them to remain in the linked row of houses and not leave arbitrarily, they were all cautious and conscientious, and didn't dare be the least bit negligent.
At the same time, the three could already smoothly refine the Qi Generating Pill, producing nine pills each time. There were at least three high grade pills, and almost no low grade pills. This left them greatly inspired. While continuously practicing with the Qi Generating Pill, they started refining the Rejuvenation Pill, as well as some medicinal pills they were good at.
Gradually, they all had finished products.
Zhang Mingyuan and the others were astounded.
From studying to known them well, no more than a few days had pa.s.sed while the employer went out adventuring.
If this kind of improvement continued, couldn't they quickly become mid grade pharmacists in the future, even higher than first cla.s.s ones… By only thinking about those prospects, their hearts brimmed with feelings of longing.
At this time, Dragon One finally started to acc.u.mulate the medicinal pills they refined based on the different product grades.
Once there was a certain amount, that Market Street's store could formally be opened for business.
The next day, someone came to visit.
This time, it definitely wasn't that rather greedy and evasive Manager Yang. Rather, it was Liu Wuyan.
Gu Zuo walked out of the room, and after seeing Liu Wuyan, he couldn't help being somewhat shocked: "Senior sect brother Liu?"
Liu Wuyan nodded at him, his manners still the same as while on the mountain, without any changes: "Junior sect brother Gu, is junior sect brother Gongyi here?"
Gu Zuo nodded his head: "I'll go call the young master."
Gongyi Tianheng was currently meditating while sitting cross-legged on the couch.
Thus, Gu Zuo scampered back into the room, and brought Tianheng when he came out.
Liu Wuyan naturally exchanged greetings once more with Tianheng.
Tianheng seemed to have some suspicions: "Senior sect brother Liu coming here is…"
Liu Wuyan said: "Yesterday, we were indebted for the rescue. At that time, because this Liu was in a difficult situation, it was inappropriate to speak too much. Today, by senior sect sister's orders, this Liu invites junior sect brother Gongyi and junior sect brother Gu over for a small chat… Senior sect sister has already reserved a feast at Huiren Restaurant. We hope you two don't decline."
Tianheng, indeed, didn't decline, and very refreshingly said: "Senior sect brother Liu and senior sect sister Xun are very hospitable for the invitation. This one is not unreasonable, so I'll go along with Ah Zuo to pay a visit."
When Liu Wuyan heard this, he showed a hint of a smile: "This is great. Junior sect brothers, please follow this Liu."
Gongyi Tianheng also said: "After you."
Gu Zuo didn't understand the twists and turns too clearly, but still obediently followed them out.
In any case, someone was inviting them over for a meal. If it wasn't free, he wouldn't go.
Moreover, he always felt that, with the plans his big brother made yesterday, he reckoned that this invite wasn't purely just that… He still didn't think about it so much. He would naturally become aware of it once the matter came across.
Not long after, Liu Wuyan brought the two to Market Street.
This Market Street was a location controlled by the Qingyun Sect. It was especially unlike the one owned by the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce.
The area was at least twice as large.
