Chapter 78: No Money Required

Chapter 78: No Money Required Gu Heng observed the two men very carefully.

He is very observant.

First of all, the young man in the lead was in front, and the middle-aged man was behind. Both of them were dressed simply but also exquisitely. This moon-white robe looked like it was made of top-quality fabric, not the coarse linen clothes worn by ordinary people. This was enough to prove that the two men were not ordinary.

Secondly, the young man looked dignified and behaved in a well-educated manner.

Although the middle-aged man retreated in a humble manner, he did not act rudely to others and looked more like a bodyguard of the young master.

Combining the above two pieces of information, Gu Heng was already certain.

This is someone from old man Wu Rong's family!

This young nobleman should be the key person who "can have the final say" as Wu Rong mentioned.

But so young... Gu Heng just felt that this wealthy family was quite open-minded to let a young man take the helm. Perhaps this person himself was also very capable.

"Since you already know our identities, please forgive me for disturbing you."

Xiao Ling bowed and said solemnly.

They never thought that they had thought about so many unnecessary things before they even entered the city. As a result, as soon as they entered the clinic, people already understood their identities and the purpose of their visit.

Nothing can be hidden in front of such a strong man.

Xiao Ling tried his best to keep a low profile. For the sake of Nian Ling Sect, he couldn't be too arrogant when he came to ask for elixirs this time. He couldn't let the other party feel that he could be on equal footing with him, otherwise the matter would be really hard to say.

"Oh?" Gu Heng raised his eyebrows.

This person is quite polite.

Gu Heng thought of Feng Wuxin. The president of the Golden Phoenix Treasure Bank was also so polite and courteous. This made him feel very good. He immediately showed a friendly smile and said, "Sorry to bother you. Please take a seat."

The two looked at each other, and finally Xiao Ling spoke: "Thank you for your hospitality, senior."

"I wonder what your name is?"

Gu Heng asked.

He only asked for the name of the noble young man. As for the guard, he should be only responsible for protecting him and not participating in any decision-making.

"Senior, just call me Xiao Ling."

Gu Heng felt a little puzzled as to why Wu Rong's relative's surname was Xiao instead of Wu. But then he thought, Wu Rong was probably just a distant relative, and the Xiao family was the real master of this family. No wonder Wu Rong said that he could not make the decision.

The person who can make the decision is named Xiao!

Xiao Ling pulled Zhu Ling to sit on the stool beside him, and then heard Gu Heng get straight to the point: "You two also know who I am. Wu Rong came to visit me a few days ago. As for the reason..."

"My apprentice chopped off the hand of Grandpa Wu Rong's grandson. Since you are the one who can make the decision, I want to know, do you think this matter should be put behind us?"

Gu Heng didn't keep anyone in suspense.

The reason is very simple. The other party is a big family with great wealth and they also attach great importance to reputation. Although Wu Rong said that the matter of his grandson's hand being chopped off was over, it did not mean that other people in their family would think so.

"Of course, Wu Rong's grandson has a long history of bad deeds. I have wanted to punish him several times, but because of Wu Rong's face, I can't do anything."

"Let your apprentice teach you a lesson this time, it can be regarded as a warning to him."

Xiao Ling answered immediately.

What a joke, what else can we do if we don't turn the page? The Nianling Sect couldn't even deal with Huang Li, a cultivator who had just entered the Tribulation Crossing Stage, let alone Mr. Gu who even Xiao Ling couldn't see through?

The plaque he saw when he entered the door made Xiao Ling realize that the strength of the owner of this clinic far exceeded his!

It is also far beyond that wild power!

Just now he even dared to be more presumptuous and probe Mr. Gu's breath, but he could not see anything.

That was enough to prove that Gu Heng's strength had reached a point that he couldn't see through!

So don't talk about whether to let the story go on or not. If necessary, Xiao Ling will personally take the lives of Wu Rong and Wu Jie just to win Gu Heng's favor.Gu Heng nodded with a smile: "That's good."

Well, Mr. Xiao is very sensible.

No wonder such a large and wealthy family would let him be the person in charge. It is obvious that he knows right from wrong, and understands the importance of reputation and prestige to the family.

Comparing the two, Wu Rong looks rich and noble, but the simply dressed Mr. Xiao is more dignified.

"Then... let's get down to business."

He straightened his posture.

"My disciple wants to enter your 'Thousand Swords Hunting Ground'. Wu Rong said he can't make the decision, but I also let him convey my idea, which is to give you some 'entrance fees' in exchange for my disciple's admission qualification."

"What do you think?"

"Can."

Xiao Ling was also straightforward.

After all, although Gu Heng seemed easy-going, he certainly didn't like beating around the bush. Xiao Ling simply catered to his preferences and tried his best to win his favor.

"Well, name your price."

Gu Heng waved his hand and said heroically.

He has plenty of money now! President Feng Wuxin just gave him a full 100,000 taels of gold. If he spent the money the way he used to, it would last him until he died. Buying Qin Yiyao a hunting ground admission qualification, wouldn't that be easy?

Even if Mr. Xiao asked for an exorbitant price, it would definitely not be more than one thousand taels. Besides, he is so sensible that he would definitely not ask for that much.

After all, Wu Rong's grandson teased his apprentice first, so they were in the wrong in this matter.

"Well..." S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Xiao Ling began to get nervous.

We have to come to this point after all.

He had to ask Mr. Gu for an eighth-grade elixir! Otherwise, he would never be able to advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage within four days, and the future of the Nianling Sect would be in jeopardy.

However, Xiao Ling still couldn't figure out the thoughts of this senior.

Don't be fooled by his amiable appearance, but from the true meaning of the plaque, Xiao Ling could see a crazy and powerful man who killed people without hesitation!

Even if someone now lives in seclusion in the mortal world to cultivate his mind, it does not mean that his nature will change.

"...Mr. Gu, you know a lot about refining medicine, right?"

After considering for a long time, Xiao Ling spoke cautiously.

"Um."

Although he didn't know why the topic suddenly went so far, Gu Heng still nodded.

"Then, how about giving me a pill that you think is precious enough, the kind you made yourself, in exchange for your apprentice entering the Thousand Swords Hunting Ground?"

After Xiao Ling said this, his heart felt like it was beating like a drum, beating faster and faster, and he even couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

He is really a little nervous now, but if he doesn't say it out loud, it will just be a slow death!

"oh?"

Gu Heng was slightly stunned.

Surprisingly, it doesn't require money?

But you want the elixir he made?

Gu Heng had already planned to spend several hundred taels of gold, but Xiao Ling's request made him a little confused.

In his opinion, there is no elixir that is precious enough and is made by himself...

How can something that you can easily refine be considered precious?
