Chapter 73 Seeking Medicine from the Gods
Because the video went viral, Lei Ping's personal information was exposed overnight. Early in the morning, people blocked the entrance to her parents' house. Lei Ping's parents had a conflict with these people and fainted on the spot. They were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

When the video was released, the comments section was filled with praise, with many saying it was karma for not properly educating his daughter.

Lei Ping's temporary hotel was also exposed. Upon hearing about her parents' accident, she rushed back to her hometown to go to the hospital, only to encounter a group of people taking photos and videos. She was even pelted with rotten eggs and left in a disheveled state. She broke down and cried at the hospital, and was even live-streamed by some bloggers trying to gain attention.

She finally saw her unconscious mother, only to be berated by her own father. She was slapped twice. She had never experienced anything like this before, and her mental state completely collapsed. That's why she went to Gu Xingzhao, hoping that he would release a video to clarify things.

Lei Ping hid in the bathroom, waiting for Gu Xingzhao to reply. Her fingers turned white from pressing the screen too hard: Gu Xingzhao, even if I said some bad things about you, they are still the truth, aren't they?

Lei Ping: You stole my boyfriend in college, and I didn't even hold it against you then. Why are you being so petty and making things difficult for me now?

Lei Ping: Please, I'm being driven to my death by them. I will apologize to you, but you have to help me clarify things first.

Lei Ping was furious and gritted her teeth: Gu Xingzhao, if anything happens to my mother, you will be a murderer!

Lei Ping: I know where you live. Even if I'm driven to my death, I won't let you go!

Upon seeing the message, Gu Xingzhao was so speechless that she couldn't help but laugh out loud. The next day, she was being subjected to moral blackmail and life-threatening threats. Unfortunately for her, Gu Xingzhao had no morals and was not susceptible to threats.

She recorded a screenshot video, blocked Lei Ping, and contacted a lawyer recommended by her roommate, determined to sue Lei Ping as soon as possible and refuse any mediation.

If Lei Ping really dares to cause me trouble, I'll have to strike her into the hospital; otherwise, all that 88,000 yuan I spent on the lightning magic will have been for nothing.

Having arranged a meeting time with her lawyer, Gu Xingzhao lay on the sofa watching Lu Qing and the others set off again. She casually browsed the system's store to see if there were any functions she could use, and wrote them down on her phone in case the system tricked her again someday.

After searching for a full hour, she finally found what she needed: the Refining Technique, which could quickly extract the raw materials from any item for only 25 offerings.

Sulfur and charcoal are not hard to find in modern times. The key is saltpeter, which cannot be bought nowadays, and we can't go to the latrine to extract it ourselves. Let's try to extract it from fireworks and firecrackers first. If the quantity is not enough, let's see if we can buy saltpeter in ancient times. Even if the purity is not enough, we can still refine it.

Moreover, fireworks didn't exist in the dynasty Lu Qing and his people lived in, so they could see if they could sell fireworks to people in ancient times and make a fortune.

She immediately redeemed the feature in the online store and then contacted Yang Hui to purchase a batch of fireworks and firecrackers.

At the same time, ancient times.

The exile caravan had only traveled for half a day when Du Hangwu ordered the caravan to stop and rest. He avoided the crowd and walked away alone. When he returned, his face was particularly grim.

The junior officer came to report on the Lu family's movements that day, "Boss, Lu Xingyan acted like nothing was wrong today. He used to cough every day, but today he looked even more energetic than Lu Zhou!"

The gods of the Lu family are truly amazing. Before, Lu Xingyan looked like he was about to die, but now he looks like he could live to be fifty or sixty.

Du Hangwu pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "Give me back the things you collected in Laiyuan Town before."

The junior officer avoided eye contact, chuckled awkwardly, and stammered, "What is it?"

Du Hangwu, however, extended his hand, leaving no room for his subordinate to discuss the matter.

Knowing there was no way to escape, the junior officer could only take out a jade thumb ring from his pocket and place it in Du Hangwu's hand, feeling extremely pained.

Du Hangwu glanced at the thumb ring, but still felt it wasn't enough, his hand remaining still in front of him. The junior officer gritted his teeth and could only pull out a heavy gold lock from his pocket and place it in Du Hangwu's hand, "Boss, it's really gone."

He racked his brains but couldn't figure it out: how could his boss know that he had received benefits when he was in Laiyuan Town?

Du Hangwu's voice was cold, "If you want to risk your life, you should find a good master. That Yu is a man of Prince Su. Do you think you have enough lives to sell?"

The minor official gritted his teeth. He didn't want to risk his life for Prince Su, but the benefits he would receive for helping Prince Su and his men deliver messages were more than he could ever earn if he stayed in the capital honestly for his entire life.

Du Hangwu didn't try to persuade anyone else. He took the thumb ring and the gold lock and headed towards the Lu family.

At this moment, several members of the Lu family were hungry and were quietly eating instant noodles or gnawing on chicken legs. Lu Xingyao was still holding a chicken leg when he caught sight of the plague god walking over. His heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously stuffed the whole chicken leg into his mouth, leaving only a piece of bone sticking out.

His cheeks were puffed out, and his eyes were fixed on Du Hangwu, looking like he was protecting his food, full of vigilance: Could this guy be here to steal my food?

Du Hangwu ignored Lu Xingyao and went straight to the old man Lu Qing, "Old Lu."

Lu Qing stood up, leaning on his cane, and replied with a smile, "Lord Du, is there something you need?"

Du Hangwu has done a lot of favors for the Lu family these past few days, and Lu Qing has noticed this.

Du Hangwu wasn't one to beat around the bush. He looked around, and those who had initially looked over out of curiosity immediately turned their heads away.

He then lowered his voice and said, "Your medical skills must be superb to save Yu Heng's life that day, Elder Lu. I am not feeling well, so I have some money here and would like to ask you to give me some medicine."

Du Hangwu spoke euphemistically, never mentioning anything about gods, but everyone knew in their hearts that his request for Lu Qing to bestow medicine was actually a plea for divine intervention.

Lu Qing hesitated slightly, but when his gaze fell on the thumb ring and gold lock in Du Hangwu's hand, he remembered that his ancestors had once revealed their love for gold and silver jewelry.
"I need to discuss this with my family. It may not be as you wish."

Du Hangwu nodded and handed the item in his hand to Lu Qing.

When Lu Qing called out to Gu Xingzhao, she was downstairs at work, having just finished settling accounts with her customers, when she heard Lu Qing calling her.

"Is something wrong?"

Lu Qing's voice came through: "Ancestor, Du Hangwu claims to be unwell and wishes to request medicine from the gods."

Gu Xingzhao nestled in his chair and lazily yawned. "I'm just a mortal, not a real god, and I'm not a doctor, so how can I prescribe medicine?"
Lu Qing: "He gave me a jade thumb ring and a gold lock, intending to use them as payment for the medicine."

"!" Gu Xingzhao immediately stood up from his chair. Jin Suo!?

Doctors have such compassion!

She quickly closed the supermarket door, hung up the "Closed" sign, and said to Lu Qing, "Wait for me, don't let Jin Duhangwu get away, I'm coming right now!"

Lu Qing: "."
