After Wei Wushuang left the Coastal State, he joined a certain power, and Gao Benli, who considered him his master, naturally also joined this power.
Within this power, there was someone who constantly opposed Wei Wushuang at every turn.
Eventually, when Wei Wushuang lowered his guard, this person ambushed him, poisoning him with a toxin for which there was no cure, leaving him only to silently await death.
Qian Long and his several brothers, as well as the people who had come with him, were all originally disciples from outside the Coastal State, following him back.
It seemed that these four, including Qian Long, were Gao Benli’s sworn brothers. Those disciples who came with them were here to mourn their master, Wei Wushuang.
In fact, Gao Benli had discovered that these individuals were all secretly arranged by the person who had ambushed Master Wei Wushuang to be around him. Even the circumstances of their initial meeting had been secretly orchestrated by this adversary.
Gao Benli was very aware that these few individuals carried Soul Devices with them, capable of timely conveying messages back.
After all, Qian Long and the others were also Soul Martial Artists of the Sky Breaking Realm, and if he acted rashly, they would certainly have time to send the message back, giving the opponent an excuse to dispose of him according to the sect’s rules.
Thus, the best course of action was to use someone else’s hand to have Qian Long and the people following him all executed.
But Gao Benli couldn’t make it too obvious, as after all, Qian Long and his people were not fools.
If it were his grandfather, Gao Yuefei, or some elders within the sect who took action, wouldn’t it be clear that it was Gao Benli’s instruction?
Because if it wasn’t Gao Benli’s instruction, to protect the lives of his sworn brothers, he would definitely step forward to protect them.
He is the current Sect Master of the Wanxiang Sect, obviously the strongest person’s grandson; his sworn brothers being killed by the Sect Master and higher-ups of the Wanxiang Sect openly relates to him.
But if Gao Benli lets these troublemakers act recklessly and agitate the original disciples of the Wanxiang Sect, causing them to kill them, then it simply wouldn’t be his matter.
After all, the impression these disciples currently had of Gao Benli wasn’t very good.
"Master said that once he fully recovers, he could possibly break through his current realm and reach the Heart Realm of the Life and Death Realm. By then, we will have surpassed the opposing realms and need not fear him," Gao Benli said as he rubbed his forehead with frustration.
"Now the trouble is, the disciples of the Wanxiang Sect aren’t strong enough; they simply can’t kill those people. Another issue is that Master was too severely injured initially and always struggles to fully recover."
Gao Benli wore a look of worry, while Wei Wushuang also gave a bitter smile, "Back then the strange potion you gave to your master indeed had miraculous effects, but it is still slightly insufficient for someone at my realm."
"Then just use a better one," Lin Qian said matter-of-factly, his hand producing a transparent crystal bottle.
Inside the crystal bottle, a red liquid slightly lighter than blood gently swayed.
After taking out the crystal bottle, Lin Qian then tossed it towards his master, Wei Wushuang.
Wei Wushuang, somewhat perplexed, caught the crystal bottle and pulled out the stopper, bringing it to his nose to sniff.
Instantly, a fragrance from the potion entered his nostrils, permeating his spleen and lungs, making Wei Wushuang feel entirely comfortable as the latent issues within his body too showed signs of improvement.
"Recovery potion," commonly known as a health bottle in games, is a versatile potion.
In Lin Qian’s view, his master’s injuries, apart from the hidden lingering problems, the original poison as well as the damaged source, had recovered as if new.
Despite some minor hidden dangers within his body that seemed insignificant, it was indeed these subtle internal injuries that prevented Wei Wushuang from taking the final step to full recovery, returning to his peak, and reaching a higher level.
This time, the recovery potion was of much higher quality and upon consumption, it would promote healing throughout the body.
It was this comprehensive treatment that would allow Wei Wushuang to completely eradicate the hidden dangers within his body.
"With this, I’ll be able to recover soon!" Wei Wushuang confidently said, tilting his head back and drinking the recovery potion from the crystal bottle in one gulp, then he immediately closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
Gao Benli curiously picked up the crystal bottle that had been tossed aside and after examining it for a long time, said, "Not bad, Junior Brother. Where did you get this thing?"
"I made it myself," Lin Qian casually replied.
"Hahaha." Hearing Lin Qian’s response, Gao Benli laughed heartily, walked forward, and clapped him on the shoulder. "Come on, Junior Brother, I know you, a rare genius among the specialized jobs, strictly forbidden by the Alchemy Elder, Artifact Refining Elder, Array Formation Elder, and all other specialized elders."
Speaking, Gao Benli shook the crystal bottle in his hand. "If you say this miraculous potion was made by you, I wouldn’t believe it even if you beat me to death."
"..." Lin Qian rubbed his head and helplessly said, "I got this from a relic site, impressive, right?"
"Impressive, impressive. Do you have more? How about sharing some with your senior brother and let me try it?" Gao Benli chuckled while rubbing his hands together, came up to Lin Qian, and nudged him with his shoulder. "Later on, your senior brother will introduce you to some lovely girls, I won’t let you down!"
"Alright, no problem honoring you, Senior Brother, but enjoy the girls yourself. I’m engaged and strictly disciplined," Lin Qian said as he produced another recovery potion and an experience potion, tossing them to Gao Benli.
Gao Benli hurriedly caught them and shouted at Lin Qian’s retreating figure, "You wasteful kid, these things are so valuable, why do you like throwing them around—what if they break?"
"Shut up!" Lin Qian furrowed his brows, unable to bear it anymore, and shouted at Gao Benli.
Seeing Lin Qian get angry, Gao Benli quickly closed his mouth and gave a tight-lipped smile.
"The so-called sworn brothers and subordinates, just leave them to me to deal with. You just wait for the good news," Lin Qian waved his hand and turned towards the entrance.
"Hey? Don’t be rash, kid. Can you handle it?"
Lin Qian didn’t look back, merely waved his hand behind him and stood where he had landed earlier. The array under his feet burst forth with a repelling force, propelling him upward again.
When he returned to the small hut at the entrance, it was already deep into the night.
Stepping out of the hut, Lin Qian leapt fiercely, jumping directly from the backyard of the residence to the outside, arriving at the nearby forest.
A row of black figures emerged from the shadows. Dozens of swift soldiers wearing close-fitting black soft armor knelt on one knee before Lin Qian: "Your Majesty."
"Not only can you gather intelligence, but you are also the strongest soldiers in the night, highly skilled in assassination," Lin Qian’s red-gold Thunder Soul Power emerged from his palm, forming various images in mid-air, stunningly conspicuous in the dark night.
