C693 I'll Pay for Your Lives!
"In the blink of an eye, it's the Elixir Association competition again? I never thought that our Gu family's younger generation would be in such a decline. Even participating in the competition requires new reinforcements. This is truly a disgrace to the name of the alchemist family!" Gu Qin sighed with emotion.
Thinking back to back then, When the Gu family won, they were one of the top five families in the Pill Alliance. Not only had they fallen to the ninth place, but they were also facing the situation of being kicked out. This really made him feel extremely annoyed and embarrassed.
As the patriarch, Kwoo Tan's expression was extremely ugly as well.
He was guessing if the old ancestor was dissatisfied with him.
Gu Fen's eyes flashed with an undetectable joy, and he immediately said, "Previously, the Elders Guild had discussed that the granddaughter, Gu Jiaojiao, was to be betrothed to Master Wuu Fu's disciple, Qi Tong. Now that both sides have formed an alliance, Qi Tong being the son-in-law of the Gu family is not considered as an external helper. What does the Old Ancestor think?
As long as this matter was facilitated, Wuu Fu and his disciple would be his powerful backup in the future. This way, he would be able to fight against his cousin. Perhaps, the position of the family head would fall into their line in the future.
"Master Gu Qin, my disciple sincerely wants to marry the granddaughter of the Gu family. I hope Master Gu Qin can consider this carefully!" Wuu Fu said to Gu Qin.
Although Ling Xiao defeated Gu Qin, However, Wuu Fu did not want to lose all face. As an alchemist, he must have his own unique arrogance.
He was not afraid of Ling Xiao. With Wuu Fu's connections, it was still possible for him to gather a group of experts to deal with Ling Xiao and the others.
He was sure that he wouldn't be able to defeat Ling Xiao in a one-on-one fight.
As long as the Gu family agreed to this matter, everything would be easy!
Gu Qin touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
However, Ling Xiao said decisively, "Jiaojiao is already my brother's wife. No one can take her away.
As soon as he said this, the Gu family members glared at him angrily. Wuu Fu and his disciple had an unhappy expression on their faces. However, because of Ling Xiao's terrifying strength, no one dared to provoke him.
Gu Qin said quietly, "Mr. Ling, this matter concerns the future reputation of Gu family. Is there really no turning back?
Even though he was deeply moved by the failure of the descendants, this matter concerned the reputation of the Gu family for thousands of years. Gu Qin didn't dare to neglect it.
If he really couldn't handle it, he wouldn't mind doing everything he could to keep them here. He really didn't believe that the entire Gu family wouldn't be able to deal with these few people.
Ling Xiao slightly frowned and said... When is the gathering going to start? This young master will help you out once!
"Boss, it's the Grand Competition of the Pill Gathering. We will be heading to the Medicine City in three months!" Ye Yunfeng immediately said from the side.
"Haha, what a joke. You don't even know about the Grand Competition of the Pill Gathering of the Pill Alliance. Do you think it's a combat examination? How ignorant!" Wuu Fu sneered.
"That's right. Although your combat strength is extraordinary, this is a competition between noble alchemists. You can't help even if you want to!" Gu Fen also opened his mouth to speak sarcastically.
"Who said my boss can't help? He's a tier six alchemist!" Ye Yunfeng immediately vented his anger for Ling Xiao.
"Haha... if he is a tier six alchemist... Then I'm afraid I'll be able to reach the realm of a tier eight Saint Alchemist!" Qi Tong was the first to snatch the opportunity to laugh. His expression was filled with disdain.
Alchemists were... There were very few people who were fortunate enough to become an alchemist, and it was even more difficult to become a medicinal Medicine Refining Master of High Grade.
Many alchemists had gone through days and nights of accumulation, tempering themselves thoroughly before walking up step by step. Compared to originally not like martial artists, they could rely on certain resources to accelerate their advancement.
None of them could believe that Ling Xiao would be a tier six alchemist.
It had to be known that alchemists who had reached the sixth grade and above could be called masters. Among the tens of billions of people in Central Region, there would absolutely not be more than 10,000 people who had reached such a high grade.
And alchemists who truly reached such a high grade were all older generation figures.
Ling Xiao looked just like a young man who had just come out of the outhouse. How could they feel that Ling Xiao was a tier six alchemist?
Ling Xiao said disapprovingly, "It's up to you whether you believe me or not. But I must take him away!
"Mr. Ling, don't think that my Gu family can't keep you guys?" Gu Qin had already lowered his attitude and spoke to Ling Xiao. He did not expect Ling Xiao to still be so tough. For the family's honor, he might really force Ling Xiao and the others to stay.
"I think it's better this way. Let Ling Xiao and Qi Tong compete in alchemy on the spot. Whoever is skilled in alchemy will stay behind to help the Gu family. As for the ownership of Jiaojiao, it will be decided in this competition. What do you think?" At this time, Kwoo Tan said from the side.
Gu Jiaojiao's face turned pale after hearing these words. The young miss of the Gu family was treated like a commodity as she was being watched. Anyone would feel extremely uncomfortable.
Ye Yunfeng tightened his grip on Gu Jiaojiao's hand. "Don't worry. Boss will definitely win.
"That's right. I think Tan Er's method is suitable. What do you guys think?" Gu Qin nodded.
Qi Tong looked at his master and immediately replied, "Qi Tong is fine. I'm just afraid that someone won't agree.
When he finished speaking, he looked at Ling Xiao with a provocative look.
He felt that although Ling Xiao's combat strength was astonishing, how could his alchemy skills be his match?
He had to properly shame this so-called First Throne!
Ling Xiao ignored Qi Tong's words and nodded slightly at Gu Qin. "No matter what, you are my brothers' maternal family. I will give you some face. Let the competition begin now. I don't want to waste too much time with this kind of low grade alchemist.
As soon as these words came out, Qi Tong was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
For many years, he had never been said like this by others. No matter which sect or Feudal Lords he went to with his master, those people would have to address them respectfully as "Master Qi.
But this Ling Xiao in front of him was really too detestable. He actually called him a "low grade alchemist." It was simply the greatest insult to him.
"You only know how to talk nonsense. Since you are so confident, then... s. "If you lose, you can give me fifty Sixth Rank Spirit Herb of High Ranks as well. How about that?" As Qi Tong's master, Wuu Fu's expression was extremely ugly as well. He had to make this arrogant young man pay the price.
"Fifty... fifty Sixth Rank Spirit Herb of High Ranks!" Everyone present was shocked.
The value of these 50 Sixth Rank medicinal Spirit Herb of High Ranks was very high. How could an ordinary person easily take them out? This Wuu Fu was clearly making things difficult for Ling Xiao.
"Haha, looks like you have a hundred times more trust in your disciple!" Ling Xiao said with a light smile. After pausing for a moment, he said, "How about I add some more stakes?
"What bet?" Wuu Fu asked.
"One hand each!" Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and said quietly.
"What!" Everyone was moved.
They did not expect Ling Xiao to have so much confidence in them. He actually wanted Wuu Fu and his disciple's hands.
Gu Fen opened his mouth and said, "Sir, aren't you going too far?!
"Then do you have no confidence in this person?" Ling Xiao asked back.
Gu Fen was killed by Ling Xiao all of a sudden. He could not speak.
"You're just a Heavenly Venerable, yet you want both of us to have one hand each? Are you serious that we're easy to bully?" Qi Tong scolded him in a very angry manner.
"If you don't dare, then just admit defeat. I won't make things difficult for you." Ling Xiao said politely.
"Okay, we agree!" Wuu Fu suddenly said loudly, "But it's not easy for us to get our hands. You have to pay the price.
Ling Xiao immediately replied, "If I lose, I'll pay for your lives.
Hiss!
None of the people present had expected Ling Xiao to be so ruthless. He actually exchanged his life for his own. This price was indeed enough!
"Alright. Master Gu Qin will be the witness for this matter." Wuu Fu immediately agreed. Then, fifty Sixth High Rank spirit herbs flew out from the Space Ring.2
Each of these spirit herbs was filled with rich energy, and it made everyone present feel refreshed!
In order to obtain Sixth Rank medicinal Spirit Herb of High Ranks, one had to face Sixth High Rank or peak Sixth Rank medicinal Spirit Beasts in order to obtain them. It seemed like this Wuu Fu had also gone through a lot of dangers.
Ling Xiao didn't drag things out either. Numerous dazzling medicinal Space Rings also flew out from the medicinal Spirit Herb of High Ranks.
A hundred Sixth Rank Spirit Herb of High Ranks flew towards Gu Qin at the same time.
Gu Qin revealed a surprised expression. He immediately put away the hundred stalks of spirit herbs.
"I, Gu Qin, will be your witness. It's just that it's better if you don't add in the extra stakes. Both of you are honored guests of the Gu family. If you suffer any harm here, the Gu family will be very embarrassed!" Gu Qin said indifferently.
"Master Gu Qin, there is no need to say anything. We are willing to do this." Ling Xiao waved his hand and said.
Wuu Fu also said, "That's right. No matter what the result is, it has nothing to do with the Gu family!
Although Wuu Fu and Gu Qin were both Medicine Refining Master of Seventh Grade, he was alone. Naturally, he did not dare to offend the Gu family.
"Alright, since you have decided, I will be the judge this time!" Gu Qin replied. Then, he said to Kwoo Tan, "Go and clear out the pill refinement field. Let them compete there.
With these words, Gu Qin felt relieved. In any case, the Gu family was the one who had risked their lives in order to reap the benefits. He was happy to be the middleman.
Kwoo Tan nodded. Then, he immediately ordered his men to clear the arena.
At this time, Qi Tong said to Ling Xiao with a sinister smile, "Your life is mine!
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and ignored him, as if he was treating him like air.
Qi Tong was very angry. He cursed in his heart, "You can be arrogant. I will let you know how to write the word 'death' later.
The group of people also headed towards the place where the Gu family would offer their future generations of pills.
"Yunfeng, isn't this a little too much?" Gu Jiaojiao asked worriedly.
"Don't worry. It's just one arm. Boss didn't kill them all." Ye Yunfeng comforted her.
"I... forget it. I hope nothing bad happens." Gu Jiaojiao hesitated for a moment but did not say out the worry in her heart.
Actually, she was not worried about Wuu Fu and his disciple but was worried about Ling Xiao's safety.
Although Ye Yunfeng kept saying that Ling Xiao was a tier six alchemist, she had not seen Ling Xiao's alchemy skills with her own eyes. She really did not have confidence.
