"What Spirit Medicine are you lacking? I'll help you figure it out!" Qin Chu left the trading hall with Gan Lingwu. As for the Medicinal Pill stall, having Lang Lang there was enough; he trusted Lang Lang.
Seeing Qin Chu, Gan Lingwu was very happy and followed Qin Chu to his small courtyard. "Qin Chu, no matter where you go, you always do well. In a place like Holy Martial City, you can even live in an Alchemist Guild's courtyard."
"Sister Lingwu, I'm almost beaten like a dog," Qin Chu said with a bitter face.
Hearing Qin Chu's words, Gan Lingwu's delicate brows furrowed. "What exactly happened?"
Exhaling, Qin Chu explained his current situation to Gan Lingwu.
"The Three Great Saint Clans all want to kill you? Aren't they too shameless? I'll help you!" Hearing that Qin Chu was being bullied, Gan Lingwu became indignant, her fair face filled with anger.
"No, absolutely don't make a move!" Qin Chu tensed up, then explained the existence of the Stop Martial Order. He didn't want Gan Lingwu to impulsively violate Holy Martial City's rules.
After hearing Qin Chu's words, Gan Lingwu fell into thought. Then she looked up, "Qin Chu, if it doesn't work out, just run! Don't stubbornly hold on here; it's too disadvantageous."
Qin Chu poured Gan Lingwu a cup of tea and told her that he could handle it and to not worry. Then he asked Gan Lingwu what medicinal ingredients she needed, and he would figure out a way.
"A sixth-grade Snow Lotus Flower. Small places don't have it, but Holy Martial City should be able to get it," Gan Lingwu said.
Qin Chu told Gan Lingwu not to worry about it, that he would handle it. Although the Snow Lotus Flower was valuable, it wasn't too rare. He would inquire with the Alchemist Guild's elders, and he should be able to get it.
After discussing serious matters, Qin Chu and Gan Lingwu began to chat casually.
Gan Lingwu told Qin Chu that she had a conflict with a Cultivator from the Holy Martial Sect. When two elders from the Holy Martial Sect attacked her, she met an old woman. The old woman's cultivation was very high; she rescued her and forced the Holy Martial Sect's people to retreat. Later, she became the old woman's disciple.
"This is a good thing. Don't think you're strong in Southern Flame Continent, but in Central Continent, there are many strong individuals. It's beneficial to learn more from strong people," Qin Chu said, happy for Gan Lingwu.
Because Qin Chu couldn't go out, the two of them chatted in the small courtyard the entire time.
In the afternoon, Gan Lingwu got up to leave. Qin Chu didn't see her off because he didn't want others to know that Gan Lingwu was connected to him.
As soon as Gan Lingwu left, Lang Lang entered Qin Chu's separate courtyard. "Qin Chu, I look down on you! Isn't one Shang Shuyu enough for you? You still want to monopolize other beautiful women. Are you going to give anyone else a chance?"
"Brother Lang, what are you talking about?" Qin Chu looked at Lang Lang, somewhat puzzled.
"You two stayed in the small courtyard for more than half a day. You could have done anything," Lang Lang's eyes were full of disdain.
"Brother Lang, don't talk nonsense. It's not what you think," Qin Chu explained.
Lang Lang looked at Qin Chu. "Since that's the case, then let this beauty be mine. I'll try to pursue her?"
Hearing Lang Lang's words, Qin Chu was stunned, feeling a little sour and uncomfortable inside.
"See, you're uncomfortable, aren't you? Don't lie to me. I was just testing you. Here are today's Spirit Stones." Lang Lang placed the Spirit Stones obtained from selling Medicinal Pills on the table.
"Thank you, Brother Lang." Qin Chu nodded at Lang Lang.
"Why are you thanking me? Is it because I won't pursue this woman, or because I sold Medicinal Pills? Haha, never mind, I bought some food and wine!" Lang Lang laughed as he took out food and wine from his Storage Ring and set them out.
Qin Chu didn't speak. Lang Lang's words just now had touched him a little, and he wasn't quite sure what was going on with him.
After eating, Lang Lang left. There wasn't much he could do to help Qin Chu now, as he was a sixth-grade King Realm Cultivator and could no longer participate in battles. The only thing he could help Qin Chu with was handling Medicinal Pills.
Lang Lang left, and Qin Chu fell into thought, pondering what was wrong with him. After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure it out, so he drew his Azure Spirit Sword and began to Cultivate sword techniques.
Night gradually fell, and many people gathered at the entrance of the Alchemist Guild. The White Tiger Saint Clan and the Flame Thunder Saint Clan were waiting for Qin Chu to come out to kill him. The Black Tortoise Saint Clan's people were also there; although they hadn't made a move, many knew what they intended to do. Furthermore, Cultivators from various forces and Loose Cultivators were waiting to watch the show. They also wanted to see Qin Chu. The name Qin Chu was extremely domineering now; a young man had made the White Tiger Saint Clan and the Flame Thunder Saint Clan restless, something no one had ever done before.
Many strong individuals in Holy Martial City were also hidden in the dark, all waiting to see what would happen next.
Previously, no one knew where Qin Chu was hiding, nor did anyone know that Qin Chu had returned to the Alchemist Guild. It was Gu Xiaoyou and others who saw Qin Chu in the Alchemist Guild's trading hall, so the news spread.
After thinking for a while, Qin Chu felt that even if he didn't fight today, he could still go out and provoke people.
Straightening his robes, Qin Chu arrived at the entrance of the Alchemist Guild.
Upon seeing Qin Chu appear, the chatting crowd instantly fell silent.
"Hmm! Quite a few people, huh? You're all guarding here for me alone. I, Qin Chu, feel honored. While feeling honored, I also have to say that you are very shameless! Don't be unconvinced; if you think you have shame, step forward and let me see?" Standing at the Alchemist entrance, Qin Chu looked at the various factions.
No one spoke. The White Tiger Saint Clan, the Flame Thunder Saint Clan, and the Gu family members who had joined the White Tiger Saint Clan were all waiting for Qin Chu to leave the Alchemist Guild's gate.
Seeing that no one spoke, Qin Chu took out a jar of wine from his Storage Ring, opened it, and took a sip. "You are all shameless people, why should I bother with you? Taking you seriously seems quite beneath me!"
"You are the most shameless one, a cowardly turtle, afraid to come out!" Gu Xiaoyou cursed.
"Heh heh! So it's you. I remember you. You are one of the unfilial descendants of the Gu family. When you arrived at Heavenly Sword City, you wanted to seize things by force. I can understand seizing things by force, but what I can't understand is that you don't have the strength to seize things by force, yet you still act shamelessly! Of course, I can also understand the reason: because your Gu family, from the old man Gu Zhengxiong down to the little minions, not a single one has any shame, so you don't even know what shame is." Looking at Gu Xiaoyou, Qin Chu cursed the Gu family from top to bottom.
"Stop with the useless talk. Now you're acting like a cowardly turtle." Gu Xiaoyou's face was extremely grim; countless people were watching now.
"You say I'm acting like a cowardly turtle, then I won't! I, Qin Chu, will give your Gu family, including the White Tiger Saint Clan and the Flame Thunder Saint Clan, a chance to be cowardly turtles. Let's find someone from the City Lord's Mansion to be fair. A life-and-death arena battle: if your age is the same as mine, I, Qin Chu, will accept, regardless of cultivation level; if your cultivation level is the same, I, Qin Chu, will accept all, regardless of age. Until death, who will accept? If you don't, then you are all turtle grandsons!" Qin Chu stretched out his arm, pointing his finger starting from the Gu family, then towards the White Tiger Saint Clan and the Flame Thunder Saint Clan.
