Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Gu Changkong naturally understood what Jiang Cheng meant.

He sighed and said with a wry smile: "Brother Jiang, it's not that I don't trust you and won't let you try to refine the third-grade Awakening Pill. I don't know about others, but I believe that you can also improve the skills of Awakening Pill to the level of great success or even perfection. It's just that I can't afford it right now."

"I see."

Jiang Cheng expressed his understanding.

After all, he still owes the other party 100 million or 200 million.

"But I can promise you."

Gu Changkong said solemnly: "When I enter the inner city in the future, I will definitely do my best to help you complete this task."

Once they enter the inner city area, the more powerful Jiang Cheng's alchemy skills become, the more outstanding his performance in the family will naturally be.

"But now, I have no choice but to ask you to continue refining the second-grade tranquilizing pills. Moreover, if possible, the more you refine, the better."

Things have come to this point, Jiang Cheng has no choice but to agree.

Watching the two of them leave, Jiang Cheng sighed softly.

Although he had perfected the art of alchemy and earned nearly one million more every day than before, he only made 1.2 million a month.

This means that it will be difficult for his mental strength to improve in a short period of time.

Because it will take at least two months to pay back the money owed to Gu Changkong, and if he wants to raise his mental power from level four to level five, it will cost about 200 million.

Four months.

Only then can you advance from a fourth-level spiritualist to a fifth-level spiritualist.

Of course, this speed is already fast enough in the eyes of others. After all, even for some geniuses, it is calculated in years.

The good news is.

Four months later, he had already become a first-level Force master. If he was lucky, he might even be a second-level master.

"Take it slow," Jiang Cheng said to himself, "I can only take it slow."

For the next two days, Gu Changkong was in a very good mood.

He seemed to have seen the scene one month later when he handed in the answer and shocked everyone in the family.

Until the evening, a phone call came.

Gu Changkong looked at the word "Big Brother" on the phone screen, a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

Among the brothers of the Gu family, this one is naturally the one most respected by the family.

Not only does his mother come from a large family and has the support of her clan, his own abilities are also among the best among the few people. Most people in the family support him.

When he was young, he had thought about competing with the other party for the position of head of the family, but as he gained more experience, he gradually realized that this was impossible.

What we are doing now is just to enter the core circle and get more benefits.

The phone is still vibrating.

Gu Changkong adjusted his breathing and answered the phone.

"Hey, big brother."

"Yes, the third one."

A man's laughter sounded on the phone: "Long time no see, are you okay out there?"

"pretty good."

Gu Changkong nodded.

"It's fine."

Gu Changlin smiled and said, "Third Brother, I heard that you recently hired an amazing alchemist? In just two or three months, he was able to refine a whole furnace of top-grade tranquilizing pills?"

Gu Changkong's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this. Sure enough, it wasn't just his younger brother who was plotting against him, but also his older brother.

But compared to the former, the latter seemed more patient and only called today.

"How did you know that, brother? Why don't I know?"

He played dumb.

"hehe."

Gu Changlin laughed meaningfully, "Third brother, I wonder if you have ever heard of the saying that there is no wall that is impenetrable. There are many things that you think you have kept secret well, but in fact, in the eyes of others, they are simply a joke."

Gu Changkong was silent.

"Third brother, I know what you are planning. You want to use him to attract father's attention and return to the core circle of the family, right? This matter is easy and difficult at the same time. But for me, it is very simple. It is just a matter of a word."

"Can you be so kind?"

Gu Changkong whispered.

"Hahaha, I'm really not that kind. After all, doing this doesn't do me any good. Instead, I have to give up some of my interests. If it were you, would you do the same?" Gu Changlin asked back.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Gu Changkong frowned.

He felt like he saw through everything in front of this person.

"Let's make a deal."

Gu Changlin smiled slightly.

"Give him to me, and I will speak for you in the family and ask you to come back. I promise that the things I will arrange for you will definitely be more promising than your small-time work in the outer city."

"If I don't agree to you, will you resort to some tricks?"

Gu Changkong felt filled with resentment.

We worked so hard to develop Jiang Cheng, but after just a few days, the people came to pick the peaches. Who would be willing to accept this?
But the problem is, what can he do if he is unwilling? The gap between his strength and the opponent's is too big.

"Third brother, who do you think I am?"

Gu Changlin sneered.

"Although those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters, your words do not qualify me from using some shady means. Moreover, you and I are half brothers after all, and I do not want to bully you. It would be bad if it gets out."

Hearing this, Gu Changkong breathed a sigh of relief.

This eldest brother of his is a bit arrogant. After he said such a thing, he would not say one thing in public and another behind the scenes.

"Brother, Jiang Cheng is the person I want to focus on training, and I don't want to hand him over." He gritted his teeth.

"I understand how you feel. Let me give you two choices."

"The first option is to cooperate with me and work for me. If you have any requests in the future, you can tell me and I will do my best to satisfy you."

"The second option is that you continue to persevere, but I want to give you a piece of advice. You may not be able to keep that person. As far as I know, someone has already made preparations in advance. I'm sure they will know what's going on with you in a few days. By then, hmph."

Gu Changlin snorted coldly.

There was a rare hint of anger in his voice.

Gu Changkong shuddered.

Who else could the person Gu Changlin was talking about be other than their fifth brother, Gu Changjun?

Among their brothers, only the youngest one has the possibility to compete with Gu Changlin for the position of the next head of the Gu family.

"Old Third, you are a smart man. I don't need to say anything extra. Cooperating with me is good for both you and me. If you don't cooperate with me, you will end up with nothing. Or do you want to cooperate with him and become my enemy?

I'll give you a day to think about it, and I'll call you again at this time tomorrow to ask you."

Gu Changlin finished speaking and hung up the phone. (End of this chapter)
