C63 The Reason Why the Shopkeeper Was in Charge

"I've never heard of such a miracle before. However, even medicine has thirty percent poison. It's not necessarily true if it doesn't have any effect. It's probably just a little less than other pills. "

Guxing was deeply influenced by Xiao Yue. He had a deep conflict with this method of relying on external forces to increase his cultivation base. Although the shopkeeper said that there were no drawbacks to this pill, he still couldn't believe it.

"Hehe, it seems that little brother has his own set of rules regarding cultivation. Furthermore, seeing that little brother values the matter of foundation, I think it should be due to your master's contribution. From what I can see, little brother's foundation is very solid. "

Guxing immediately waved his hand with a modest smile and said: "Senior praises me too much. Junior has only never consumed any medicinal pills or anything like that since young. The words that I expressed earlier were merely some of my own crude insights that cannot be taken seriously. "

"I have never consumed it!"

That shopkeeper was immediately startled. "Little brother, have you never consumed any medicinal pills? Not even Foundation Building Pills?"

Guxing shook his head and said, "Never consumed it before. "

"No wonder, no wonder. "

The shopkeeper was excited and said a few words of 'no wonder' in a row, "No wonder little brother is so powerful at such a young age. He can even jump ranks to fight an enemy without losing. It turns out that his foundation is solid. Being willing to teach disciples like this is enough to see your master's brilliance. I don't know which master he is, but I think I should have heard of him before. "

"Haha, my master is just a rough person in the mountains. He taught me some simple cultivation methods by chance. As for his name, I have never asked him before, so I don't think he has a name. " Guxing had long ago memorized these perfunctory words. Now, it could be said that he could do it as he pleased.

Who was the shopkeeper? He had lived for a long time, and his eyelashes were empty. He could immediately tell that Guxing was just perfunctory to him, but he didn't expose him. Since it was inconvenient for him to speak too much, he naturally wasn't surprised by it.

"By the way, this senior from the First Edge General Assembly wants me to do something for him. I hope the shopkeeper can tell me what he wants me to do. "

After saying this for so long, The reason why the shopkeeper wanted him to participate in the competition had yet to come out, so Guxing could only ask.

"This. . . "

He hesitated for a moment, then said frankly: "To tell you the truth, there is only one reason why I tried so hard to get little brother to participate in the competition, and that is because of the Muscle Wash Marrow Pill. "

Only then did Guxing understand, and then he thought that with the manager's cultivation, he definitely wouldn't need this pill. He couldn't help but ask, "Senior, are you asking for medicine for others?"

Unexpectedly, the manager firmly shook his head and said, "Not really. I am asking for pills for myself. "

Guxing was stunned. No matter how he looked at it, this Muscle Purification Marrow Pill was used to build the foundation for some new martial artists, or to help them break through. With this shopkeeper's skill, he should not be interested in it. Why did he have to be polite to him again and again for such a pill? No matter how he thought about it, he could not come up with an answer.

The shopkeeper seemed to have seen through his doubts and no longer concealed it. "I want this Muscle Wash Marrow Pill not to improve my constitution, nor to improve my cultivation. It's because this Muscle Wash Marrow Cleansing Pill can not only improve my constitution, but also improve my cultivation base. It's also a good antidote pill. "

"Detoxify poison?"

Guxing was stunned. "Senior, what kind of poison did you get?"

The shopkeeper nodded his head, and a trace of hatred flashed across his face. He said in a deep voice, "Fifteen years ago, I was plotted against by a villain, and I was poisoned in tea. This poison is colorless and odorless, and it has been hidden in my body for several hours without acting up. However, once it is channeled, it will immediately be like ten thousand ants corroding my heart. I know that staying behind will only lead to certain death. Naturally, I am unwilling to let this lowly person succeed. He immediately hid himself here overnight, but who knew that this poison would be so overbearing? I used an entire fifteen years of effort to not dissolve it from my body, and now, even though I have already controlled it well. . . But it also took me too much effort. If I don't dissolve it. . . I can conclude that I won't be able to last for the next fifteen years. I will die. "

"So that's how it is. "

Only then did Guxing come to a realization. "It has been fifteen years. Senior, have you not thought of any other way to cure the poison? Furthermore, how is senior so sure that this Muscle Cleansing and Marrow Cleansing Pill can cure the poison in senior's body?"

The shopkeeper paused when he heard this and said weakly, "All these years, I don't know how many methods I've tried, but none of them worked. After that, I really couldn't do anything about it. . . I had to pretend to go around looking for a doctor, and while I was looking for a doctor, I was fortunate enough to meet a master and found out from that master. . . What I planted was a mixture of poison and seven types of poison. Although he knew what these seven poisons were, he was still unable to resolve them. And he told me that not only him, but also the person who poisoned him could not cure himself. Because there was no antidote for this poison, and if he wanted to save his life, Unless he cleaned all the meridians in his body and released the poison from his pores. . . The only way to do this is to use the Muscle Wash Marrow Cleansing Pill. "

"Since that is the case, why did senior not try to get one? I think that although this pill is precious, it is much simpler than those illusory things. Given senior's means, it is unlikely that he would not be able to obtain one even after so many years. Could it be that there is some secret behind it?"

"This. . . Little Brother doesn't know. "

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "The ingredients used for this Muscle Wash Marrow Cleansing Pill are extremely picky. Even with the influence of the royal family, they can only gather 50 sets of ingredients every year. Besides the 30 sets that have been refined, the amount of ingredients that can fall into the hands of the royal family each year will not exceed 20. "

"If the royal family only has that many, then there is no need to think about other people. Plus, I am poisoned, so I do not dare to show myself. I'm even more afraid of involving some of my old friends, so I haven't made any progress in five years. I had no choice but to set my eyes on the First Edge General Assembly. But this pill is so magical, how could I be willing to give it to me? Just like that, another five years passed, and I was prepared to give up. I didn't expect that little brother would suddenly appear here. I saw that little brother was so stunning. A flame of hope immediately lit up in my heart. Only then did I make a move to help little brother out of this predicament. Furthermore, I did everything in my power to keep little brother here. "

Guxing saw how honest he was. There was no need to hide anything from him, and the good impression in his heart instantly increased. At the same time, he felt a trace of sympathy for this old man who had been entangled by the deadly poison for more than ten years. He immediately stood up and asked, "Senior, may I ask when the next batch of First Edge General Assembly will be held?"

The shopkeeper lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he blurted out, "It will be the time next year when the osmanthus flowers will bloom. "

"En, alright. "

Guxing replied. Then, he held his sword and cupped his hands towards the shopkeeper. He promised, "Senior, don't worry. When the osmanthus flowers bloom next year, junior will definitely participate in the competition. I must get a Muscle Purification Marrow Pill for senior. "

The manager was touched and said, " Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, I owe little brother a great favor. If little brother can really help me obtain a medicinal pill, I will repay you even if I have to be crushed to pieces. "

"Senior's words are too heavy. "

Guxing said with a smile, "Going to participate in the competition will not delay me much. On the contrary, there are many strong opponents for me to train and surpass. It is a good thing for me. As for the pills that senior needs, it is just a favor that will go smoothly. If this kid is lucky enough to win, it will be as easy as lifting a finger. It is not worth mentioning. "

When the shopkeeper heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face. After a long time, he hesitantly asked: "This Muscle Wash Marrow Cleansing Pill is so tempting. Little brother, are you not interested?"

"Being moved naturally means being moved. However, compared to senior's life, a mere medicinal pill is nothing. "

The shopkeeper was startled when he heard this. He repeatedly repeated what Guxing had said, "A mere medicinal pill. . . "

After that, he suddenly stopped moving. His eyes, which had been slightly aged, suddenly lit up with two rays of wisdom, as if he wanted to see through Guxing.

He was once a high ranking person, and being paranoid was the common problem of high ranking people. Because of too many considerations, they couldn't truly trust a person. Although he had retired for so many years, he had never let his guard down. However, facing Guxing's fearless gaze, he was somewhat absent-minded.

He had never seen anyone with such a clear and transparent gaze. It was pure and without a trace of impurities. His clear eyes seemed to be able to attract people's attention, and there was a natural intimacy between them. It made people want to trust him. Although he knew that this young man in front of him was not simple, he still couldn't control himself.
