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

Chapter 375 Entering the inner city?

The next morning.

Jiang Cheng felt that something was wrong with Gu Changkong today.

He no longer has the sharpness he once had, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

"Brother Gu, what happened?"

Gu Changkong smiled bitterly and said, "Let's talk on the way."

Jiang Cheng nodded, with a vague bad feeling in his heart.

Soon, the two walked out of the house, and did not go directly to the alchemy room, but walked slowly along the path in the park.

"Brother Jiang, today may be your last day here."

"Why, why?"

Jiang Cheng opened his mouth slightly.

"Just last night, my eldest brother called me. He already knew that the person who attacked you a few days ago was Huang Xing, who was close to my fifth brother..."

Gu Changkong told the story again.

Jiang Cheng's expression gradually became solemn.

"So, if you don't agree, Brother Gu, that matter might soon reach the ears of Gu Changjun's mother?"

"Yes."

Gu Changkong sighed.

"The Bai family is as powerful as our Gu family. That woman also holds a high position in the Bai family. At least she is more than capable of dealing with you and me. My eldest brother seemed to have given me a choice, but he didn't. So, I could only stand on his side and tell him about you."

"So, he'll take me into the inner city?"

"Ah."

Gu Changkong nodded and forced a smile on his face.

"Haven't you always wanted to refine high-level elixirs? If you follow my elder brother, you will definitely have a chance. Not to mention the third-grade, even the fourth-grade elixir, you will have a chance."

"And once you get there, even if Gu Changjun wants to do anything to you, it will be difficult. My eldest brother will also send experts to protect you."

Jiang Cheng's expression remained solemn.

On the one hand, of course, this incident happened too suddenly.

On the other hand, is it really as good as what Gu Changkong said?
At least from what Gu Changkong said before, it can be heard that Gu Changlin is not an easy person to talk to.

That's right, he wanted to refine fourth-grade pills, so that he could make more money from each furnace. The problem was, not to mention whether Gu Changlin was willing to make so many complaints at the beginning, even if he succeeded, could he still get half of the profits like here?
Hearing Jiang Cheng's question, Gu Changkong looked hesitant, but finally told the truth.

"It's a bit difficult. The alchemists under my eldest brother basically take 10% to 20% of the profits. The more capable ones can take 20% to 30% of the profits. But if it's you, it might be a little higher. When he comes, I will also help you fight for it."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

According to Gu Changkong, the probability is that it will not reach 50%, and we would be thankful if it is maybe 40%.

In other words, it would be better for him to stay here than to follow her into the inner city...

"Brother, I know what you mean."

Gu Changkong saw what Jiang Cheng was thinking and sighed, "I also want you to stay here, but the situation is stronger than people. If the truth comes out one day, you will be in a bad situation. Although you will get less money if you follow my big brother, it is very safe. Isn't the premise of being able to spend money to be alive?"

Jiang Cheng nodded.

This is the truth.

And Gu Changkong was indeed thinking about him.

In that case, he might as well go to the inner city and take a look.

If Gu Changlin is a good person, then we can continue to cooperate. Just like his strength has improved by leaps and bounds during his time in the outer city area, he may improve even faster when he moves to the inner city area.

if not……

"Brother, when he comes, you must behave well. It is definitely better to follow him than to follow me."

Gu Changkong’s voice sounded.

"Brother Gu, what about you?"

Jiang Cheng asked.

"I?"

Gu Changkong laughed at himself.

"It will be no problem to enter the inner city, but after that, it depends on other people's attitude."

When he first came to the outer city, he was ambitious and wanted to make a big splash, but later he found that ideals were beautiful but reality was cruel.

I finally saw hope, but it was extinguished in the blink of an eye.

But that's the reality.

About half an hour later, two aircraft landed in front of the experimental building.

One is quite small and looks like it can only seat two people.

The first one is much bigger, more than three times the size of the previous one, and can easily accommodate seven or eight people.

Four men walked out of the aircraft. The three behind them should be bodyguards, all wearing black suits. The leader was a man in a white suit with a faint smile on his face.

It was Gu Changlin.

In front of the experimental building, Gu Changkong and Jiang Cheng had been waiting for a long time.

"Big brother!"

Gu Changkong spread his arms and walked up.

"Hahaha, Third Brother! Long time no see."

Gu Changlin also stretched out his arms, and the two hugged each other, and it took several seconds for them to separate. If Jiang Cheng didn't know something about it, he would have thought that they had a good relationship.

"Brother, this is Brother Jiang Cheng."

Gu Changkong stretched out his hand and introduced Jiang Cheng.

"He's much younger than I thought. It's true that heroes emerge young."

Gu Changlin sighed, his eyes fell on Jiang Cheng, and he looked at him carefully. The latter stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, my name is Gu Changlin, I am Changkong's elder brother, you can just call me Brother Changlin."

"Brother Changlin."

Jiang Cheng spoke up.

"Ah."

Gu Changlin nodded in satisfaction, "I think the third brother has already told you the purpose of my visit this time."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

"Then there's no time to lose. Take me in to have a look."

Gu Changlin said with a smile.

If it wasn't for recruiting Jiang Cheng, he wouldn't want to come to this outer city area that was like a slum.

Several people entered the alchemy room and Jiang Cheng began to refine pills.

Even though there were many people present, he remained focused. After about three hours, a furnace of top-grade awakening pills was freshly produced.

Gu Changkong, who was standing aside, breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really a little worried that Jiang Cheng would perform poorly, but fortunately, he didn't.

"Not bad."

Gu Changlin looked at Jiang Cheng with a more kind look.

"I heard from the third brother that you only spent a few days to improve the benefits of the Awakening Pill to the mastery level? Is that right?"

Jiang Cheng nodded.

"Are you confident that you can improve your alchemy skills again? If so, how long will it take?" Gu Changlin's eyes showed anticipation.

The cost of ten portions of medicinal materials is still too high.

It would be better if there were less.

"Of course I have confidence. If I want to reach the great level, I think a month is enough. As for perfection, it's hard to say for now."

Jiang Cheng was not stupid enough to tell the truth.

"it is good."
