Tao and Heaven

Chapter 51 Zhao Feng is assassinated
【Tian Sui Yi Ke】

One ginseng is only one year of Tiansui?
Gu Wen was slightly disappointed. Ginseng was undoubtedly the most precious elixir among all, but its quantity was very limited, with only four roots.

The quantity of other various medicines such as Polygonum multiflorum, Ganoderma lucidum, Angelica sinensis, Polygonatum sibiricum, etc. ranges from one to ten. The actual number of Tiansui may be less than that of a bag of medicinal fruits.

These spiritual medicines are more valuable than medicinal fruits, and are probably easier to absorb. Gu Wen could actually feel that when ginseng entered his stomach, it was like a warm current, while medicinal fruits were like gunpowder.

In the long run, using this to cultivate would damage his foundation, but with the help of his fate, he did not have this worry. His fate allowed him to attain enlightenment in one day, so the delay of the drug poison in his cultivation could be said to be insignificant.

Gu Wen reached out to the Polygonum multiflorum again. Although the amount of Tiansui was small, it was still an excellent elixir.

Putting aside the Tiansui, eating these spiritual medicines can not only replenish one's mana, but also accelerate cultivation with some of the medicinal properties that the fate does not absorb. The fate does not accept all the medicinal properties of spiritual medicines, and some of them may contain extremely special substances.

It is also possible that this substance itself is called Tiansui. Because of its existence, Daqian is different from others, and only here can Tiansui appear.

Others also cultivated their Taoism through the spiritual medicines grown in the Immortal Land. If there were similar spiritual medicines outside, there was no reason for them to risk squeezing in. Even if there were similar spiritual medicines, at least the spiritual medicines from the Immortal Land were extremely rare outside.

He Huan, who was watching from the side, felt distressed and could not help but said, "Brother Hongchen, it is really a waste of spiritual medicine to take it like this. If you don't know an alchemist, I can introduce one to you."

Gu Wen thought about it and felt that it made sense. Since it was impossible to provide a large amount of heavenly marrow in a short period of time like medicinal fruits, it would be better to refine it into pills. There would be more heavenly marrow, and he could also trade it.

This is exchanging a low-quality asset for a panacea.

"In that case, I'll leave it to Brother He."

He casually stuffed all the spiritual medicines except the medicinal fruit to the other party, with a casual attitude, as if he didn't care at all.

He Huan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother Hongchen, since you trust me so much, aren't you afraid that I will just run away with the medicine?"

Gu Wen was naturally afraid. Although he was not as good as Yao Guo, he still had more than ten years of Tiansui. But just as he was very accurate in judging others, he was even more accurate in judging himself and had a very clear positioning of himself.

His current personality is that of a peerless genius. Will He Huan destroy their friendship for a bag of elixirs?
"I trust Brother He."

Gu Wen's tone was serious, and combined with his usual aloof attitude, he seemed so solemn.

He Huan was touched by the high regard he received, and without even mentioning the reward, he said solemnly, "I will definitely not let Brother Hongchen suffer any loss."

Then Gu Wen took a look at the pitted spear in his hand. Although it was nurtured by the Zhaolie Spear, it was obvious that the speed of blood and energy nurturing could not keep up with the loss, or it could also be a defect of ordinary weapons.

He asked, "Brother He, when can I get the magic weapon you promised me?"

He Huan replied, "It will probably take several months. As the heir of Qianlong Villa is one of the best weapon forgers, many people have asked him to forge weapons. However, if Brother Hongchen does not have any special requirements, I suggest that you just buy the existing weapons, and I will not charge the agency fee."

"Okay." Gu Wen nodded. In his current state, why would he need a bicycle? He didn't ask for a very good one, just that it wouldn't rot during the fight.

"Then let's meet under the Dragon Bridge in a month."

Then the two said goodbye to each other and left in the night, leaving the chaos on Dragon Bridge outside.
-
Gu Wen returned to the bathroom and climbed out of the room through the window. The voices of Jiang Fugui and his personal guards came from outside.

"Master Wen seems to be sleeping soundly. I have woken him up and he will come out later."

At this time, there was still half an hour before the agreed time for the elixir to be produced. Gu Wen put away the medicinal fruit he had snatched and took off his nightgown stained with blood. There were wounds all over his body. Although the Spirit Jade Body Protection Technique could stop the bleeding and the second level of strengthening the muscles and bones also protected the aorta, there was no way to heal the wounds quickly. After the adrenaline of the fight faded, the friction between the flesh and the clothes caused pain.

Then they changed into their usual plain clothes, the coarse linen clothes worn by merchants were even rougher.

Gu Wen stood in front of the door, his eyes became steady, and his whole temperament returned to normal.

He pushed the door open and Jiang Fugui, who had blocked the guards, breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Mian stepped forward and said, "Master Wen, something happened at Longqiao."

"What happened?"

"There was a demon who killed people in the street. He has now been killed by the immortal master in the palace, but the Dragon Bridge is still blocked by the imperial guards. No one can enter."

Matters concerning ghosts and gods, as well as matters concerning the outer world immortal sects, had become commonplace since the day Yu Hua fell on the Dragon Bridge. Even when Qin Mian mentioned them, there was not much excitement, as if they had become commonplace matters.

"Go and have a look first."

Gu Wen took a carriage to the outside of Longqiao and was stopped by the imperial guards in front of the bridge. He then turned around and drove to the palace.

At this time, he was ready to be scolded, with Zhao Feng's half-baked mentality. On weekdays, he looked very well-educated, but once he encountered a disadvantage, he would easily lose control and beat and scold the servants around him.

During the initial period, Gu Wen was whipped a few times, but as his ability to make money grew, he gradually won a little respect.

But he was just a useful minion.

Now is not the time to turn against each other. After seeing the wealth of Tianfusi, Gu Wen felt that he could still find a way to make a few more moves. And after leaving Bianjing, where else could he get so many spiritual medicines?
Gu Wen was a little confused. He had planned to escape from Bian Jing and had some land and connections in Nanshui.

But he had never planned to "find the elixir". He had a clear goal for the future, but was vague about the way to achieve it. Others had smooth roads, with the sect and elders arranging the way, but he had to wade through the turbulent river alone.

I don’t know when I can get ashore?

He looked at the scene in Bianjing outside. The sound of Qin Mian whipping the horse's butt had a certain rhythm. The slight shaking of the carriage made the tiredness after the fighting intensify, and sleepiness surged in his heart.

The carriage suddenly stopped near the palace, and the imperial guards blocked the palace for some unknown reason.

Qin Mian lifted the car curtain and looked at Gu Wen, who was leaning against the car window with his eyes closed and breathing softly.

He did not wake up Gu Wen, but quietly got off the carriage and used his identity as a member of the imperial guard to inquire about the situation. He did not know that the man who fell asleep in the carriage due to fatigue had killed people in Longqiao not long ago. Qin Mian only knew that the other party gave him credit and money, allowing him to gain a foothold in Bianjing.

Before arriving in Bianjing, Qin Mian thought he was here to enjoy life, and in fact, compared to the frontier, this was indeed the case. But he was also suffocated by the layers of relationships in Bianjing. Even the manure carrier in his imperial army camp had to have connections, at least his relative was a general of the imperial army (a squad leader).

Gu Wen treated him well, so even if he knew about it, he wouldn't say a word.

About an incense stick later, Qin Mian returned to the carriage, gently woke up Gu Wen, and said, "Master Wen, something happened in the palace. The Ninth Prince was just assassinated."

Gu Wen's drowsiness disappeared immediately.

Is there such a good thing?
