Gu Zhicheng knew that he couldnt do anything to Shopkeeper w.a.n.g, so he ordered his attendant to go back and get the money.

In less than an hour, his attendant arrived on horseback.

Gu Zhicheng slammed the money on the table. Can you tell me now?

Shopkeeper w.a.n.g took the money from under his palm, examined them, and immediately smiled. Of course! Miss Gu has reserved the Zengxuan Pill with

Gu Zhichengs heart skipped a beat. What is the Zengxuan Pill? And how many are there?

The Zengxuan Pill is a spirit pill personally refined by the Lord of the Island of

No Return. Only ten are produced each year, and they have all been reserved by

Miss Gu.

Gu Zhichengs pupils contracted, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

The pills personally refined by the Lord of the Island of No Return?

Could they be ordinary pills?

No wonder Gu Qingluans cultivation advanced so rapidly!

If he could have the pills personally refined by the Lord of the Island of No Return, he could also

Shopkeeper w.a.n.g, I want the Zengxuan Pill! I will pay double of whatever price Gu Qingluan paid!

Not for sale, Shopkeeper w.a.n.g immediately rejected without hesitation.

Triple the price!

Head of the Gu family, please leave.

Ten times the price! Ill buy them! Gu Zhichengs eyes turned red.

Shopkeeper w.a.n.g was tempted by the offer, but recalling his masters instructions, he firmly refused.

Seeing that he couldnt persuade him no matter what, Gu Zhicheng left with a dark and gloomy expression.

Outside, the attendant asked, Master, will you just let this matter slide?

Let this matter slide? Gu Zhicheng sneered. Impossible! If Hundred Herb

Hall doesnt want to make that money, Ill find another way!

As Shopkeeper w.a.n.g watched Gu Zhicheng leave, he couldnt help but sigh, Impressive, the master truly has remarkable foresight! One million taels, this

Gu family head is willing to spend!

It was unfortunate that his master had instructed him only to sell information and not the Zengxuan Pill. Otherwise, they could have taken advantage of Gu Zhicheng even more.

He secretly contacted Gu Qingluan, attempting to persuade her.

Gu Qingluan remained composed and said, Lets not involve Hundred Herb Hall too deeply in this matter, to avoid Gu Zhicheng seeking revenge from you later.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper w.a.n.g was deeply touched. So, the master is doing this for the sake of Hundred Herb Hall and for me? Master, you need not go to such lengths. It is our honor to share the burden with you.

The following day, as per Gu Qingluans instructions, he personally delivered the Zengxuan Pill to the Gu residence.

However, before reaching the Gu residence, he was suddenly struck unconscious, and the Zengxuan Pill hidden in his sleeve was stolen.

With the Zengxuan Pill in his possession, Gu Zhicheng couldnt help but burst into laughter. Gu Qingluan, without the Zengxuan Pill, lets see how audacious you can be!

I have never heard of the Zengxuan Pill. Did Gu Qingluan truly rely on it to enhance her cultivation? w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ looked at the porcelain bottle in Gu Zhichengs hand, unable to suppress her doubts.

Narrow-minded woman! There are many things you havent heard of. The Zengxuan Pill is personally refined by the Lord of the Island of No Return. How can it be compared to ordinary pills in terms of effectiveness? Furthermore, if it werent for the Zengxuan Pill, how could Gu Qingluan, a useless person, become so powerful? Gu Zhicheng retorted.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ was at a loss for words.

Five years ago, Gu Qingluan was a cultivational cripple. If someone were to claim that she had reached the Heavenly Realm through talent alone within five years, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ wouldnt believe it either.

Even the most talented individuals in Cloud Plains Continent couldnt cultivate at such a monstrous speed.

Regardless of whether the Zengxuan Pill is as extraordinary as you claim, at the very least, it is crucial for Gu Qingluan. Now that she has lost this reliance, is there any need for me to continue to tolerate and swallow my pride? Gu Zhicheng walked straight towards the exit.. Where is Gu Qingluan?
