Chapter 83: Goodbye Gu Hong
Chapter 83 Goodbye Gu Hong
Gu Hong put down the book in her hands and got up, “Please, honored guests, follow me.”
She was calm as usual and led Li An into the inner hall.
Although he was more at ease with Gu Hong, Li An’s Divine Sense was still fully open, carefully sensing his surroundings.
There were no pre-set traps, formations, etc.
Gu Hong directly brought Li An into his boudoir and closed the door.
“Li ……”
She turned around, her eyes were already overwhelmed with excitement and joy, and she was about to open her mouth, but Li An made a silencing gesture, and then quickly laid down two spell formations.
One of them, can weaken the transmission of sound, so that the sound in this room can not be transmitted to the outside world, of course, this is only a high-level formation, can not shield the detection of the divine sense, so, in this formation is also hidden in a shocking thunder talisman!
-Over the years, Li An had purchased five talismans in the city, two Thrilling Thunder Talismans and three Bursting Talismans, and these things were also done in plain sight, the more this happened, the more people couldn’t connect him with the talisman master Li An.
The other, was a heavy killing array.
After doing all of this, Li An then turned around and looked at Gu Hong with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Gu, goodbye after many years!”
Gu Hong’s eyes were filled with long-lost elation, as if he had a thousand words he wanted to say, but in the end, he just smiled and said:
“Farewell.”
The two sat down, narrating and asking each other about their experiences over the years.
Similar to what Li An had inquired about, back then, Gu Hong brought his master to White Tiger City to join his senior brother, Zhang Deyi, wanting to ask Zhang Deyi for help in finding the medication for the Lesser Returning Pill.
However, to their surprise, Zhang Deyi seemed like a different person, only meeting them once, coldly rebuffing her request, and then kicking their master and disciple out.
Gu Hong had no choice but to stay in the city with her master.
Originally, with Gu Hong and Gu Song Xi’s abilities, they could have a good life in the city, but they were targeted at every turn, as if someone was trying to drive them away on purpose.
In order not to get into a head-on conflict with Zhang Deyi, over the years, Gu Hong and her master had been patient, and in terms of business, they had purposely avoided competing with Zhang Deyi’s side.
“Senior brother was kind-hearted and generous in years past, hey ……”
Gu Hong said with a light sigh.
“The human heart is the most difficult to measure.”
Li An also opened his mouth, but remembered the incident where his second grade crippled inheritance was recognized.
The contrast between the before and after of the …… Chapter Delight as narrated by Care Red was huge!
“Taken over by someone?” Li An couldn’t help but flash this thought in his mind.
It had to be said that it was quite possible.
Alchemy attainments have skyrocketed, his insights are superb, and, moreover, he is extremely repulsed by his past acquaintances ……
Li An had also had an in-depth understanding of taking over.
Generally speaking, after taking over a body, the original owner’s soul did not immediately die out.
Rather, it remains in the body, constantly being squeezed for survival.
During this process of gaming and fighting, if someone or something that the original owner cared about appeared, it might stir up the original owner’s soul’s strong fighting spirit and unwillingness, thus affecting the stabilization of the person who took over the body.
If that was the case, then everything could be explained.
Zhang Deyi must have been very repulsed by Gu Hong’s master and disciple and did not want to see them, so he would mobilize his forces and connections within the city to suppress Gu Hong’s master and disciple, trying to drive them out.
Even before that, there had been gossip that claimed that there was a big shot in White Tiger Mountain who disliked Gu Hong master and disciple, causing all parties to not dare to seek them out for alchemy.
The source of all this should be Zhang Deyi.
Even Li An had concerns, so he was only using Gu Hong and the others as a backup option.
If Luo Yong hadn’t turned against him, Li An might have actually sought out Zhang Deyi to refine the elixir.
But Gu Hong, however, after tenaciously surviving in the city in order to raise the Little Returning Pill medication for his master, Zhang Deyi instead couldn’t cut off all of them, and if Gu Hong’s master and disciples died or something big happened to them, the original master’s soul would struggle violently. It belongs to be a throwaway.
Only to pretend to be invisible.
These thoughts flashed through Li Min’s mind, but he didn’t say a word about them.
Gu Hong and her master were only Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they were not yet in contact with this level, and to say anything would be adding to their troubles.
He also gave a brief account of his own experience, only telling Gu Hong that he happened to be out when the Demon Cult attacked the Square City, and then he hid in the Cold Moon Valley for many years of cultivation, and then after the robbery of the Zhao Family, he came directly to White Tiger City.
“By the way, fellow Daoist Li, you said in your letter that you need to ask my master for help in refining the Foundation Establishment Dan, have you gotten together the materials for the Foundation Establishment Dan?”
Gu Hongfa asked, saying that he took out a few more second-grade spirit medicines, “I’ve collected some over the years, it’s just that Yuan Soul Crystal Cores or Purple Prana Grasses of good texture have been unavailable, however, Brother Li should have prepared himself?”
Seeing this, Li An even couldn’t help but feel a slight warmth in his heart, Gu Hong obviously took his matter to heart, and even raised foundation building materials for him.
“Many thanks to fellow Daoist Gu, but it’s not necessary, I’ve already prepared everything.”
Li An said, “How is Master Gu Dan’s body?”
“His old man has been tempering and storing his strength for the past few years, just to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill for you.”
Gu Hong smiled sweetly, “After all, he is still counting on you to help him purify that Yuan Soul Crystal Core after you hurry to build your foundation.”
–Li An came to Gu Hong four years ago and gave Gu Hong a Yuan Soul Crystal Core and a letter.
The letter bluntly stated that he had come to White Tiger City and was planning for the foundation building.
The Yuan Soul Crystal Core, on the other hand, carries a layer of gray dead gas that cannot be removed. In the letter, Li An explains that he has found a way to do this, but that he needs to succeed in building his foundation before he can purify it.
Therefore, Gu Songxi had been waiting all these years.
This was also Li An’s bargaining chip, that gray dead gas came from the life seed, only Li An could unlock it!
Li An said, “I’ve kept Master Gu Dan waiting.”
Gu Hong said:
“In that case, there’s no time to lose, let’s go find him now.”
“By the way, I didn’t tell Master about your identity, I only told his old man that I helped you refine the Foundation Building Pill, and also as a reward for the Yuan Soul Beast’s crystal core, you don’t need to tell him your real identity.”
Li An was even more slightly impressed, Gu Hong was really thinking of him in every way, in order to keep his whereabouts from leaking out, even his master’s side chose to conceal it.
……
Immediately, the two of them turned to leave, and Li An collected the two formations on the way.
Turning the corner of the corridor, he entered a quiet secret room, which was furnished with simple furnishings, nothing else, only a futon, on which an old man with white hair was meditating and toning, and it was clearly Gu Songxi.
After years of not seeing him, he looked even older.
“Master, that daoist friend who wants to ask you to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill is here.”
Gu Hong opened his mouth.
Gu Songxi opened his eyes and looked at Li An, a hint of scrutiny flashed in his old eyes, then he got up to greet him and said with a smile, “Thank you, this fellow Daoist, for not sparingly and generously giving me the medicine, so that I can prolong my lowly life, I can’t thank you enough!”
Saying this, he gave a slight salute.
Li An returned the salute and said, “Mister Yuan still has to thank Master Gu Dan for his help!”
Gu Songxi said, “There’s no need to be polite, Fellow Daoist Yuan, have you brought all the medicinal materials? You can start now!”
Anticipation was written all over his old eyes!
