Chapter 136 Mysterious Ice Flower

At the dinner table, Gu Xiaofeng and his son were full of compliments, which naturally made the guests happy.

After three rounds of drinks, Jiang Yuan returned to his room to rest as he was too drunk, leaving Zhong Lin and the other two alone.

"Master Gu, how is the collection of materials for the Barrier Breaking Pill going?"

Zhong Lin put down his wine glass and asked.

If you don't plan for the future, you will have immediate worries. Since reaching the third level, Zhong Lin has already started to prepare the Barrier Breaking Pill. The Gu family helped to collect the materials, while he was studying the refining method.

With the help of the system and Zhong Lin's experience as a fourth-grade alchemist, he would fail once at most. He was confident that he could condense the Barrier Breaking Pill on the system panel. As long as it could be displayed on the system panel, there would be no possibility of failure.

"So Brother Zhong knows that in the past six months, my Gu family has tried every possible means to collect three kinds of precious medicines: bellflower, spirit candle fruit, and golden Yangzhi. We have also heard news about the black ice flower." Gu Ning said with a proud face.

"really?"

Zhong Lin's heart also trembled, full of surprise.

The three precious medicines, bellflower, spirit candle fruit, and golden Yangzhi, are okay. Although they are precious, as long as you are willing, you can still find one or two.

The only thing that is extremely hard to find is the Xuanbing Flower. This flower only grows on ten thousand year old Xuanbing and is difficult to transplant and preserve. However, it is also one of the main raw materials for refining the Barrier Breaking Pill and is indispensable.

Master Yin Daoyan had been searching for more than ten years but couldn't find him, but he didn't expect that there was news about Gu Ning.

"where?"

"Tianxiang Sect."

Zhong Lin looked puzzled, wondering why he had never heard of this sect's name.

Gu Ning quickly explained, "Brother Zhong, the Tianxiang Sect is a sect located in Qingling Mountain. They specialize in making incense. The ancient rock incense they create has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the spirit when burned. It is because of this unique fragrance that the entire Tianxiang Sect has gained a steady source of income. Even our Gu family purchases a lot of it. That's how we discovered the existence of the Xuanbing Flower in the Tianxiang Sect."

"After my father learned about the Xuanbing Flower, he approached Tianxiang Sect's leader, Yan Changfeng, and offered to buy it for a price, but he refused."

Zhong Lin's expression changed, and he asked, "Didn't you take any other measures?"

The father and son of the Gu family are not the kind of people who follow the rules. After all, they started their business as a bodyguard and their business spread throughout the entire Great Chen Kingdom. They are definitely not the kind of people who are respectful and virtuous. Such people cannot control such a large family.

Gu Xiaofeng said with a slight embarrassment, "I have used it before. I also did some treacherous things for the Barrier Breaking Pill. However, Yan Changfeng guarded the Mysterious Ice Flower very closely. I fought him, but was defeated and retreated."

"Oh! Even the head of the Gu family is not his opponent. How good is this guy's martial arts?" Zhong Lin asked in surprise.

"A second-grade Tongmai Sutra, and at least the second level of Tongmai cultivation."

Zhong Lin nodded. Sure enough, it was another warrior stuck in the second-grade Tongmai realm.

"Originally, I was still hesitating about what to do, but I didn't expect Master Zhong to arrive. Now, if we join forces, we will definitely be able to suppress Yan Changfeng. By then, we will naturally be able to obtain the Xuanbing Flower. What do you think, Master Zhong?"

Zhong Lin looked up at Gu Xiaofeng. This old guy really knows how to use the opponent's strength to fight against him! If Yan Changfeng is suppressed, it will not only be the Xuanbing Flower that can be obtained. Zhong Lin does not believe that Gu Xiaofeng is not coveting Gu Yanxiang.

Zhong Lin once asked Mei Changfeng to investigate the Gu family. Before, Linyue City was not dominated by just the Gu family. Thirty years ago, there was the Jin family, and fifty years ago, there was also the Lin family.

However, as time passed, the two families fell into decline one after another. With the disappearance of the two families, the Gu family's business also added two new businesses: printing and dyeing, and winemaking. The previous Jinlin family was engaged in these two industries.

No one would believe that there is no trick involved.

Zhong Lin suddenly stretched out his right hand, showing four fingers, with a smile on his face.

"What does Master Zhong Dan mean?" Gu Xiaofeng asked puzzledly.

"Okay, but I want a 40% profit."

Zhong Lin said bluntly. Gu Xiaofeng's smile froze.

"I'll be frank! I want the Xuanbing Flower, and as for the profits that Gu Yanxiang will gain later, I want 40% of them. I'll send someone to deliver them to Jianding Sect every month. What do you think, Patriarch Gu?" Zhong Lin said with a smile.

"Haha, Master Zhong Dan is so straightforward, deal."

Gu Xiaofeng didn't hesitate at all. He stretched out his palm and hit Zhong Lin, without any embarrassment of being seen through.

I can only say that they are indeed thousand-year-old foxes, they are all very cunning.

"When are we going to Tianxiangmen? The matter of the Xuanbing Flower must be resolved as soon as possible. No accidents can happen."

"Qingling Mountain is not far from here, only about two hours away. We..."

"Then let's go now."

Zhong Lin stood up suddenly with a serious expression.

"Okay, Ning'er, go make the arrangements and we'll set off in half an hour."

"Yes, let's do it now, kid."

……

As night falls, Tianxiang Gate is brightly lit.

At this time, in the hall of Tianxiang Sect, the elders were reporting to the sect leader Yan Changfeng.

"Master, we have recently purchased shops in the eight counties of Linyue City. We are currently selling exotic incense, and business is booming."

"We also went beyond Linyue County and bought shops in the three surrounding county towns."

"In the future, Qixiang's business will surely spread throughout the entire Dachen Dynasty, and our Tianxiang Sect will surely reach its peak."

Many elders and disciples of Tianxiang Sect were very excited.

The founder of Tianxiang Sect was once a top-third-rank warrior, but since the founder's death, Tianxiang Sect has never produced another top-third-rank warrior.

It was not until Yan Changfeng became the leader of the Tianxiang Sect that he not only became a top-three warrior himself, but also by chance he was able to create a strange fragrance using ancient rock fat as the main ingredient, which provided the entire Tianxiang Sect with a steady source of income.

Tianxiangmen was not named "Tianxiang" in the past. It was only after the appearance of Guyanxiang that it was renamed. This also shows the importance of Guyanxiang to Tianxiangmen.

Everyone knows that as long as Yan Changfeng is here, the sect will definitely surpass any previous period.

Even the founder of Tianxiang Sect was not as good as Yan Changfeng today.

However, unlike many of the Tianxiang Sect elders who were in high spirits, Yan Changfeng seemed to be in a low mood. He asked coldly, "Where's that old man Gu Xiaofeng? Is there any news about him?"

"This……"

All the elders looked at each other.

The last elder stepped forward and replied, "Master, since Gu Xiaofeng's last battle with you, and his defeat, he has not been heard from since. He may have given up."

"give up?"

Yan Changfeng snorted coldly, "Others may not know this, but don't you know that the Gu family is a hungry wolf that will eat people without leaving any bones? With his personality, he will never give up. He is probably hiding in his lair right now, staring at me viciously. If I make the slightest mistake, he will pounce on me and bite off a piece of my flesh."

"Master, what should we do?"
