Shrouded under the sunlight, Gu Ruoyun’s side profile held a resolute glow, dazzling Xunfeng for a moment. Suddenly, he made a decision. A decision that would affect the rest of his life.
“If you have the power to help me take my revenge, I, Xunfeng, will henceforth obey your orders with my life!”
Actually, Gu Ruoyun had noticed Xunfeng in the crowd from the start. This man was the strongest amongst them, and she had a feeling that his identity was not so simple.
“Don’t worry, since you’ve become my people, I’ll treat you well,” Having said so, Gu Ruoyun paused before she continued speaking, “What I’m holding right now, is Qi Gathering Pills. Once you eat this, your power will grow even faster.”
Qi Gathering Pill?
None of them had ever heard of a Qi Gathering Pill. They unconsciously stared at Gu Ruoyun in a daze.
“Qi Gathering Pill? You... you’re talking about pills?”
Elder Yu shouted in surprise while the crowd was still in confusion.
His eyes bulged out as he stared in disbelief at the porcelain bottle in Gu Ruoyun’s hands. At this moment, even his breathing had tensed up, afraid that he had misheard it.
The others did not know what Qi Gathering Pills were, but how could Elder Yu not know of them as someone serving the Dongfang family?
That was a legendary item, how could she have pills in her hands?
This... this was unbelievable!
Even thousands and thousands of years ago, pill masters had been an extremely precious existence. Furthermore, there were no more pill masters left alive in their world. Even in the Dongfang family, they only had 2 pills which the family head had found in some ancient ruins! They were treasured like family heirlooms.
However, Gu Ruoyun had just casually taken out a bottle of pills? And was going to give them away?
She was such a wastrel!
Elder Yu looked at Gu Ruoyun as if she had betrayed his expectations. He was clearly unhappy with the matter of giving the pills away. Even though these people were her subordinates, there was no need to be this generous.
“Elder Yu, from what I can see, your cultivation has already hit a bottleneck. These Qi Gathering Pills are close to useless for cultivators at a bottleneck, so I didn’t prepare any for you. I’ll make a higher grade pill to help you break through martial general later on.”
Seeing Elder Yu’s expression, Gu Ruoyun rubbed her nose and shrugged helplessly as she spoke.
Wh... what?
Elder Yu’s eyes bulged out.
This girl had just said that she could raise his rank to martial king?
He must have been hearing things.
Indeed, he must have been hallucinating...
In Elder Yu’s eyes, just having this many pills was a miracle in itself, let alone pills that could help a martial general in late stage break through. This was practically indulging in flights of fantasy, something that was impossible.
“Haha, Eldest Miss, this old servant understands your good intentions. However, this old servant does not have great talent. Young Master was worried about letting me accompany him in this state, so he let me live here in retirement, far away from turmoil, taking care of Hundred Herb Hall in passing. This old servant is clear about my own aptitude, there won’t be any more breakthroughs in this lifetime.”
Elder Yu shook his head and smiled.
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun did not say any more on the topic. She smiled and said: “Elder Yu, help me distribute these pills to the crowd. This Qi Gathering Pill can help cultivators gather the spiritual Qi around them to accelerate their cultivation. However, they can only take one pill at a time, and they must wait for the effect to disappear before using another.”
