After a while, under the shocked gazes of Gu Feng and Gu Meng, the group of Xue family servants who were still aggressive all fell to the ground the next moment, begging for mercy like ghosts and wolves.
"This...just one move..." Gu Feng exclaimed.
He just saw the woman's hands wrapped in layers of gauze pushing towards the crowd, and they all flew out.
Even if this group of people is only second or third-grade in strength, it is not something ordinary fourth- and fifth-grade warriors can defeat so easily and effortlessly.
unless……
"Could it be that they are all sixth grade, or even seventh grade..."
Gu Feng no longer dared to think about it. Every move of every high-level warrior was always involved in the changes in the situation in the entire Kyushu.
Even today's Kyushu State Shepherd will pay close attention to the whereabouts of high-level warriors, for fear that if he is not careful, he will cause big trouble again.
There was once a seventh-level warrior who had just been promoted to high-level and failed to control his own strength. As a result, while practicing his own skills, he blasted thousands of people in a small town to pieces with one palm!
This is the strength of a high-quality warrior. Every move he makes conforms to the principles of heaven and earth, and he can borrow the power of heaven and earth at will!
"Old man! We meet again!" Liao Meng paced and came to Gu Feng. He smiled and released the shackles of the eagle net for Gu Meng who was still trapped at the side.
Gu Meng saluted slightly and said, "Thank you, Master, for the rescue!"
"Haha, it should be! It should be!" Jiang Zhiyuan pulled Jiang Xianfeng forward and saluted, and said, "Since you saved my brother, it is only natural that I save you once!"
Jiang Xianfeng scratched his head and said a little shyly, "Thank you Sister Gu for your previous treatment!"
Seeing Jiang Xianfeng's coy look, everyone in the group laughed.
After laughing, Jiang Zhiyuan continued, "We are also heading to Fulong City on the way. How about this? Why don't we go together and take care of each other? What do you think?"
Gu Meng glanced at Gu Feng, exchanged glances briefly, and then said, "I'll thank you all for that! However, before that, I want to briefly dispose of the bodies of these servants..."
Gu Meng declined the help from Jiang Zhiyuan and his party, choosing to silently clean up the bloody and muddy corpses on the ground alone.
Not long after, Gu Meng dug a big pit and collected the corpses of these servants.
The group of people then set off to Nafulong City.
In Fulong City, there is a magnificent and domineering mansion.
The mansion is located in the south of the city. In front of the gate are two majestic huge stone lions guarding the gate. Although the two doorkeepers are dressed in plain clothes, they exude a powerful aura that prevents strangers from approaching.
As for the passers-by, when they see the gold-lettered plaque hanging on the mansion, they can't help but stop and look up for a moment, because this is the Fulong Xue family!
However, at this moment, in the Xue family's mansion, there was a luxuriously decorated and classically decorated wing.
Du Long was sitting upright on the chair. Although he tried to hide the uneasiness on his face by drinking tea, he still couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes.
The tea is good, otherwise it would not be worthy of the exquisite cup it is served in.
The fragrance of green tea leaves and the slightly cool tea water are enough to suppress all unpleasant emotions of tea drinkers.
However, the tea in Du Long's hand had already reached the bottom, and his frown showed no sign of relief.
Opposite him, an old man and a young man were all dressed in snow-white gowns, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance.
The old man is about forty or fifty years old, and his forehead is already covered with wrinkles. The young man is about twenty or thirty years old, and his skin is shiny and delicate.
There are many similarities between the two faces.
"So... you missed it?" the old man asked in a deep voice.
"Not bad!" Poison Dragon replied directly.
The old man was silent for a moment, then waved his hand to let him go down.
However, Poison Dragon remained motionless, as if he didn't even notice the old man's movements.
The old man looked hard and said in a deep voice, "Back off!"
After a full moment, Poison Dragon raised his head, as if he had just heard the old man's words.
"Oh? You want me to step back?" Du Long said with a very surprised expression, "I've finished helping you, and you haven't settled the bill for me yet!"
At this time, the young man on the side said, "You still have the nerve to ask for remuneration? Look at it for yourself. This time you took so many servants from our Xue family and you came back alone! You promised yourself that you would We captured the eldest elder of the Gu family and the eldest lady of the Gu family, but what happened? Now they are not caught, but they have damaged so many of our servants! You! You! You still have the nerve to ask us for compensation?"
The young man looked at the poisonous dragon with a puzzled expression.
However, he stared at Poison Dragon for a long time, but remained indifferent and still sat there steadily, as if an old monk had fallen into trance.
The young man suddenly felt furious. You must know that he is the eldest son of the Xue family in Fulong City today. The sky is full of snow. He will definitely take over the entire Xue family in the future. Except for people from the Gu family and the imperial court, almost no one in Fulong City dares to treat them like this. Father and son.
"Then I don't care. Anyway, I have already helped you. According to the original agreement, now you should give me all the agreed rewards!" Du Long said coldly, his words full of undoubted meaning.
Xue Mantian immediately wanted to turn against him. Although the Poison Dragon was very powerful, if he could win him into the house and become his subordinate, he would be a great help to him. But now that the Poison Dragon was so unruly, there was no need to keep him anymore. , simply kill him in the mansion now to save yourself more trouble in the future.
Just when Xue Mantian was about to find an excuse to go out and summon the elders of the mansion to join forces to suppress the poisonous dragon, his father Xue Mandi suddenly coughed twice, then took out two tightly wrapped jade boxes from his arms and handed them to Poison dragon.
"These are the herbs I promised you before." Xue Mandi said slowly.
Poison Dragon took the medicinal herbs without any courtesy at all, and even opened them and took a look. After confirming that they were correct, he safely put the medicinal herbs into his pocket.
However, after Xue Mandi gave these herbs to Poison Dragon, he took out a jade box from his arms.
"There is also a third-grade herbal medicine here called Ice Heart Lotus..." Xue Mandi said unhurriedly.
The poisonous dragon's eyes were already staring straight at him, with unabashed desire in his eyes.
Most of the first- and second-grade herbs can be purchased from the market, but few of the third-grade herbs can circulate in large quantities on the market. Almost all of them are bought by the big families at large prices as soon as they appear.
For people like Poison Dragon who have no background, it is almost difficult to obtain these rare herbs.
This is also the reason why it is difficult for those alchemists who like to work alone to make breakthroughs.
Not joining a big family means that you don't have to invest a lot of resources. If you want to obtain medicinal materials for research and experiments, you have to earn it yourself.
Although alchemists can earn a lot of money by refining elixirs, these are still a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of researching elixirs.
It often takes a second-grade alchemist to refine elixirs for several years before he can earn enough resources for his research to break through to become a third-grade alchemist. This also requires ensuring that no accidents occur along the way.
And the further you go, the more resources an alchemist needs. Without a stable big family that can provide them with resources, few alchemists can practice to a very high level alone.
Poison Dragon has now understood this truth, so he also chose to join the Xue family, hoping to obtain medicinal material resources with the support of the Xue family, break through to the fourth-level alchemy master as soon as possible, and be promoted to the fifth-level alchemy master!
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Du Long quickly realized what Xue Mandi was thinking, so he said it directly.
Xue Mandi also smiled and asked, "Didn't you just say that you met a group of... powerful warriors? I'd like to trouble you to tell you more about these people!"
…………
Not long after, Du Long walked out of Xue Mansion with a satisfied expression on his face.
As for Xue Mantian, he looked at Poison Dragon's back with a gloomy face and said, "Dad, why are you doing this? Just to ask such a question, did you give these third-grade herbs to Poison Dragon? And the reward, he He is not qualified to receive these rewards at all, so why do you give it to him for free? If you ask me, we will find someone directly and kill him today! A chess piece that we cannot fully control, it is better to abandon it directly! "
"You! Although you have some brains, you don't think comprehensively enough!" She said leisurely on the snowy ground.
"But he caused us to lose so many people!"
"Who told you that those servants are dead?"
"He...isn't he the only one who came back...?" Xue Mantian's voice became softer as he spoke. Only then did he remember that the poisonous dragon just said that when he left, let the servants of the Xue family go with him. That group of powerful warriors fought hard. As for the result of the fight, he himself didn't know.
"You are just too impulsive. Even if these servants died in the hands of those people, at least their Gu family also lost a lot of people, and we are not at a loss this time. The key is that those mysterious warriors and the Gu family What is the relationship, and why do they want to protect the Gu family?" Xue Mandi stroked his beard and said leisurely.
"But……"
"Your structure is still too small. As the head of a big family, you still have a lot to learn!" Xue Mandi sighed and said, "What we have to do now is to get it done as soon as possible. Knowing the origins of those people, we must also step up the elixir refining to end this competition as soon as possible!"
After thinking for a moment, Xue Mantian nodded, then turned and left.
Xue Mandi stood in the room for a while, looking down at a map of Yongzhou on the table. Xue Mandi's old fingers fell on the huge Chang'an City, his eyes full of ambition!
