“You want Medicinal Pills?”
Inside a Medicinal Pill shop, the Fat Shopkeeper looked at the anxious A Sha and sneered.
“Sure, buy them with yuan crystals. I have as many as you want!”
yuan crystals.
They are condensed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, not only useful for Cultivating but also the most basic currency in the cultivation world.
“I…”
A Sha sadly shook her head.
“I don’t have any yuan crystals…”
“Then get lost, don’t delay my business!”
“But I have this!”
A Sha seemed to recall something, extended her small hand, and pulled out three or four thumb-sized, irregularly shaped transparent crystals.
“Young Lord said these things could be exchanged for yuan crystals.”
“Yao Beast Cores?”
The Fat Shopkeeper’s eyes lit up, a hint of greed flashing through them, but he showed no trace of it on his face.
“They’re just first-tier Yao Beast Cores, not worth much money!”
Yao Beast Cores.
They are the essence condensed within Yao Beasts, and they are an indispensable and precious Material for both refining medicine and Artifact Refining.
Although first-tier Yao Beast Cores are the lowest grade, they are still worth a good amount of money.
The reason Gu Han’s injuries worsened was that he encountered several first-tier Yao Beasts outside the city.
“Then what should I do…”
A Sha was at a loss.
“I only have this much…”
“Alright, alright!”
The Fat Shopkeeper snatched the Yao Beast Cores from A Sha’s hand and casually threw out a bottle of Medicinal Pills.
“I’m a kind person. Seeing how pitiful you are, I’ll take a small loss. Here, take it!”
“Thank you! Thank you!”
A Sha was overjoyed, taking the Medicinal Pills as if they were a treasure. Ignoring the pain in her body, she hurried out of the shop.
Pfft!
The onlookers cursed under their breath, seeing the Fat Shopkeeper’s smug expression as if he had gotten a great bargain.
He’s truly despicable!
Even cheating a fool!
Those few Yao Beast Cores could have been exchanged for at least ten bottles of good healing Medicinal Pills, yet he only gave her one bottle of the lowest-grade Medicinal Pills. He’s truly black-hearted!
The Fat Shopkeeper ignored them.
He glanced at the Yao Beast Cores in his hand, then at the direction A Sha had left, his eyes filled with intense greed.
…
After running for a distance, panting, A Sha saw Gu Han’s figure again.
“Young Lord!”
She raised her small hand, calling out continuously.
“I found the medicine…”
Just then.
A foot suddenly extended from the side.
“Oh no…”
A Sha lost her balance, cried out, and instantly fell to the ground.
The jade bottle fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, a black Medicinal Pill rolling out, covered in dust.
“Oh?”
A sarcastic voice came over.
“Isn’t this A Sha?”
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
Another voice followed.
“Stupid girl, you’re not careful when walking. What, are you so worried about that good-for-nothing?”
It was two men, one tall and one short, dressed as servants.
“Medicine!”
A Sha seemed oblivious, ignoring the pain and wounds on her body. She extended her small hand, gripping the Medicinal Pill tightly, along with the broken porcelain.
“I’m talking to you!”
The tall man’s expression turned cold.
“Are you deaf?!”
As he spoke, he walked over and directly stomped on the girl’s hand.
In an instant, the sharp broken porcelain pierced her palm, and blood continuously flowed from her small hand.
“Medicine…”
The girl cried from the pain, but she still clutched the Medicinal Pill tightly, refusing to let go.
“Young Lord’s medicine…”
“Pfft!”
The tall man’s face was full of mockery.
“She’s truly a fool!”
“Foolish she may be, but her appearance is still good. Let’s deal with that good-for-nothing first, and then…”
“Hahaha! You’re right, Young Lord has given us a good task!”
As they spoke.
The two men, with lewd expressions, walked towards the desperate, hollow-eyed A Sha.
“Take your dog leg…”
Suddenly.
An extremely cold voice, full of killing intent, came from not far away.
“Away!”
“En?”
The tall man secretly shivered, quickly retracted his foot, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
“Gu Han?”
“Tsk tsk, to have survived such severe injuries, you truly have a big life!”
Seeing that it was Gu Han.
The two men immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
A notorious, severely injured cripple, did he think he was still the former Young Lord of the Gu Family?
“A Sha.”
Gu Han ignored the two of them, quickly came to A Sha’s front, his face full of tenderness.
“Are you alright?”
Nourished by the mysterious Sword Intent, not only were his Meridians reshaped, but his cultivation had also partially recovered. Although still far from his Peak, he had reached the fourth or fifth stage of the Ning Qi Realm.
“Young Lord…”
A small, bloodied hand reached out.
“I found the medicine, you don’t have to die.”
“Silly girl!”
Seeing A Sha’s miserable appearance, Gu Han’s heart ached. He carefully and reverently put away the Medicinal Pill.
“No matter how important my life is, it’s not as important as yours!”
He naturally could tell that the Medicinal Pill was of extremely low quality and would not have any effect on his current injuries. He didn’t know where A Sha had found it.
“Zhang Fu, Li Liu!”
His gaze, full of killing intent, fell on the two men.
“You two dogs, Gu Yang sent you, didn’t he?!”
The two were Gu Yang’s household servants, and he naturally recognized them at a glance.
“How dare you!”
Qian Fu sneered.
“Young Lord’s name, how can you…”
Before he finished speaking.
A sword light flashed, followed by a piercing pain!
“Ah…”
A tragic howl.
He swayed, instantly falling to the ground, looking at the leg separated from his body, his eyes filled with horror.
Pfft!
The cold light flashed again!
A gush of fresh blood erupted from his neck. He made two gurgling sounds, his head tilted, and he was completely silent!
Gu Han subconsciously glanced at his long sword.
This sword… seemed much sharper than usual, and also much heavier.
However.
Now was not the time to delve into it.
“Now.”
He swung his long sword, instantly pointing it at Li Liu.
“It’s your turn!”
“You… you…”
Li Liu, seeing Gu Han’s ferocity, had none of his earlier arrogance. He was already trembling with fear, his soul terrified.
“You’re clearly crippled, how could you…”
“You bullied A Sha, you must die!”
“Gu Han… no, no! Young Lord, please spare me…”
Pfft!
The sword light flashed again!
A head fell to the ground!
Rip!
Without even looking at the two corpses.
Gu Han tore off a piece of his clothing and carefully bandaged A Sha’s wound.
“Young Lord…”
She only reacted at this moment.
“Are you alright?”
“En.”
Gu Han stroked her small head, and softly said, “I won’t die for now.”
“That’s great!”
She immediately threw herself into Gu Han’s embrace.
“Young Lord doesn’t have to die!”
“Yes!”
Gu Han gently carried her on his back.
“I didn’t die. Give me some time, and they will be the ones to die!”
With that mysterious Sword Manual in hand, and his injuries largely recovered, he naturally had boundless confidence. As long as he spent a little time, his cultivation would certainly greatly improve!
At that time…
It would be the day for blood debts to be paid!
Taking a deep look in the direction of the Gu Family, he carried A Sha and strode towards outside the city.
…
Gu Family.
Training Ground.
“Gu Han!”
Seeing the two brought-back corpses, Gu Yang was furious.
The two were naturally sent by him to humiliate Gu Han, but who knew that instead of humiliating him, they lost their own lives.
“I will definitely make you die!”
“Commander Gu.”
Taking a deep breath, he looked at the person behind him.
“What do you think?”
“Not simple!”
Commander Gu made a judgment with just one glance.
“Those two also had Qi Condensation Realm third-stage cultivation, but looking at their wounds, they were killed without any resistance. With Gu Han’s current severely injured and dying state, it’s impossible for him to have such strength!”
golden seal!
Gu Yang’s heart skipped a beat.
He subconsciously recalled Gu Tian’s situation that day.
Could it be…
That golden seal is in Gu Han’s hands?
He suddenly felt uneasy.
“Go!”
“Quickly take people to chase him, I want… him dead!”
“This…”
Commander Gu hesitated slightly.
“But Great Clan Elder said…”
“The situation has changed, I’ll go back and discuss it with Grandpa right away! This Gu Han, if left alive, will definitely be a disaster. The Martial Academy qualification competition is in a month, and during that time… I don’t want to be disturbed by anyone, understand?”
“Yes! This subordinate will go now!”
“Gu Han!”
Gu Yang’s face was slightly twisted.
“This time, let’s see how you escape!”
…
Outside Tianwu City.
Gu Han’s steps were unceasing, hurrying on his way.
As for A Sha, she had long since been unable to hold on and was sound asleep on his back.
Outside the city, people were sparse, and it was close to the Barren Forest, where Yao Beasts occasionally appeared. But for Gu Han, outside the city was still much safer than inside.
No matter how terrifying Yao Beasts were.
They couldn’t compare to human hearts!
If he stayed in the city, the Gu Family members, knowing his injuries had recovered, would absolutely not let him go!
After this incident, his mind became even more mature.
“En?”
Suddenly.
He seemed to discover something, and his steps halted.
In the distance.
A man and a woman walked together.
Among them, the woman was exceptionally beautiful, with an elegant and refined temperament. She chatted and laughed with the man beside her, like a perfect couple.
It was none other than Liu Ying!
Liu Ying also saw him.
Their eyes met.
Gu Han’s face was indifferent, while Liu Ying’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, seemingly surprised.
