Chapter 36
The welfare of the Demon Suppression Division branch is still very good.
The government office not only provides free three meals a day, but also provides free housing for those talented newcomers.
Xiao Yun's current residence comes from here.
Although the area is not large, it is spacious enough for the Xiao brothers and sisters.
"So... when you took your sister to the morning market today, you were spotted by that Zheng Qian by chance?"
Gu Cheng sat in the living room of the Xiao family, sipping hot tea while looking at Xiao Qing'er who was applying medicine to her brother.
A trace of suspicion flashed in his dark eyes.
This kind of playboy teasing a good family is really a bit bloody and too coincidental.
Combined with the feud he had with Zheng Baihu before.
Rather than saying that this young master Zheng was attracted by beauty, it is better to say that he had planned for a long time and came here to find trouble for his brother!
"Master Gu, I'm really sorry, I've caused you trouble again..."
Xiao Yun sat opposite Gu Cheng, bowed his head with an apologetic look on his face, and said in a deep voice:
"If it weren't for the two of us, you wouldn't have killed anyone, let alone offended the Zheng family completely!"
"No need to apologize, you work under me, so I naturally have to protect you."
Gu Cheng waved his hand nonchalantly, saying lightly;
"And it's just the Zheng family, so if I offend them, I'll offend them. I hope they'll hire more people to retaliate against me..."
Now, Gu Cheng's strength is no longer what it used to be.
It's no longer the time when he was spotted by the young master of the pig demon and hurried to eradicate him, and didn't dare to reveal his identity.
For him, if the enemy really poses a threat.
Then he should naturally use thundering means to nip the danger in the bud.
But if he has enough self-protection power.
Gu Cheng actually prefers to play the long game and lure the enemy to send people to die, so as to carry out sustainable fishing and obtain a large amount of lifespan.
And until now, Gu Cheng has not figured out the system's criteria for judging "evil cultivators".
But one thing is certain.
Those guys who actively provoke him with malicious intent are all evil cultivators without exception!
Kill them all!
Gu Cheng deliberately spared Zheng Qian's life this time, hoping that this playboy can continue to work hard and hire more masters like Dong Lei to come and die.
Let's put the Zheng family's affairs aside for the time being.
Gu Cheng took a sip of tea and told Xiao Yun his purpose today:
"I need a pill that can greatly enhance my qi and blood. Do you have any recommendations?"
"A pill that enhances qi and blood?" Xiao Yun frowned slightly.
Before the big guy could answer, the sickly girl who was applying medicine to him spoke first.
"There are many kinds of elixirs with this kind of effect. I wonder what Lord Gu will use them for, and whether he has any special needs?"
Xiao Qing'er's voice was clear and gentle, and her beautiful eyes stared at Gu Cheng quietly.
"Qing'er?"
Xiao Yun wanted to say something, but was interrupted by his sister's hand.
"..."
Gu Cheng couldn't help but look at the sickly girl again.
Xiao Qing'er's appearance was slightly inferior to Lin Qingyan and Xu Nianxue, and because she was still young and had been suffering from illness for a long time, her figure was too thin.
She was completely out of the eyes of Gu Cheng, a "queen control".
However, when the word "elixir" was mentioned.
The girl's temperament, like a delicate little flower, became strong for a rare time.
She looked like an expert who was confident when talking about his professional field.
"Interesting..."
Gu Cheng's eyes moved slightly, and he became more and more curious about the origins of the brother and sister.
However, he did not delve too deeply into it and directly stated his needs:
"I want to use it to assist in practicing a body-refining technique. As for special requirements... the stronger the effect, the better, and it would be best if it could be the same as the demon core."
"Body-refining technique..."
Xiao Qing'er frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then blurted out:
"I have a secret medicine passed down from my family, called 'Boiling Blood Powder', which almost completely meets your requirements."
"It's just that its medicinal effect is too strong and overbearing, and it is absolutely not something that ordinary people can bear.
If taken in large quantities for a long time, it will not only damage the meridians in the body, but also reduce life span..."
"It doesn't matter, I want this."
When Gu Cheng heard that the medicinal effect was so fierce, he was overjoyed and subconsciously ignored the so-called "side effects".
Reduce life span?
How much can it reduce?
The last time he refined the blood claw demon core, he fell into madness, but it took hundreds of years of life to return to normal!
No matter how strong the side effects of this Boiling Blood Powder are, can it be stronger than the demon core?
"What medicinal materials are needed to refine it? Can you help me refine it?"
"Of course, Boiling Blood Powder is not a high-level elixir, and an ordinary medicine furnace is enough.That's enough. "
Xiao Qing'er nodded slightly, took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and quickly listed a list.
Gu Cheng took it and found that there were few herbs on it that he could understand, so he put it directly into the storage bag.
The main purpose has been achieved.
Gu Cheng exchanged a few words with the Xiao brothers and sisters, then stood up and said goodbye.
Wait until the figure of Mr. Gu disappeared from sight.
Xiao Yun slowly closed the door, turned to look at his sister, and asked with a worried face:
"Qing'er? Do you really want to refine the boiling blood powder? Is your body okay?"
"It's okay..."
Xiao Qing'er shook her head gently, and her pale face was full of seriousness:
"Brother, Mr. Gu saved your life before, and this time he even made a deadly feud with the Zheng family to help us out."
"We two brothers and sisters have fallen here, and we have nothing else on us, so we can only repay him in this way. "
Hearing this, Xiao Yun remained silent, a trace of disappointment flashed across his resolute face.
Gu Cheng's talent was too amazing, and his strength was advancing by leaps and bounds.
Xiao Yun had previously claimed to be a genius.
But now he was shocked to find that he seemed to have no qualifications to stand behind the other party and be his younger brother.
"Look at it, brother."
Xiao Qing'er looked at her brother's disappointed look, and could not help but gently pulled his sleeves, and comforted him softly:
"A genius like Lord Gu will definitely not be trapped in the tiny place of Changle County."
"His stage is the entire Tianshui County, the entire Yunzhou, and even the entire Dayan! "
"What we should do now is to do our best to help him and establish a good relationship with him before he completely takes off..."
"This... Qing'er, do you want to..."
Xiao Yun suddenly raised his head and stared at his sister's pale face. He had already guessed her intention.
"That's right."
Xiao Qing'er nodded solemnly and murmured:
"If Mr. Gu's body can fully withstand the power of the Boiling Blood Powder.
I plan to give him the [relic] that my father left me! "
-----------------
Gu Cheng naturally didn't know that a certain sickly girl was ready to bet on him.
Holding the list of medicinal materials given by Xiao Qing'er, he went straight to the major pharmacies in the city and started to make large purchases.
Changle County is located in a remote mountainous area, surrounded by mountains, and is rich in various kinds of herbs, including natural treasures such as nebula flowers.
Gu Cheng thought that this purchase of medicinal materials would be very smooth.
Who knew that after working for most of the day, until the sun set, he only bought half of the medicinal materials on the list.
One reason is that there are several special medicinal materials on the list.
Although the pharmacy sells them, they cannot be bought with silver. Only rare items such as monster cores are accepted for barter.
But if Gu Cheng has a monster core, wouldn't it be better to swallow it directly and refine it?
Why use Using demon cores to exchange for medicinal materials to refine boiling blood powder, isn't this just taking off pants to fart?
Second, because... Gu Cheng doesn't have enough silver on him.
No matter which world it is in, refining medicine is always a money-burning activity.
The hundreds of taels of silver "picked up" from Li Tianhao before were just a drop in the bucket.
"A penny can make a hero fall..."
"I have to think of a way to make money quickly..."
Gu Cheng stood on the corner of the street, looking at the blood-red sunset in the sky, with an inexplicable cold light flashing in his eyes.
Just as he was secretly thinking about whether to attack the rich and unkind Zheng family tonight to rob the rich and help the poor.
Two small flags of the Demon Suppression Division hurried over from a distance, stood in front of Gu Cheng, clasped their fists and saluted:
"General Flag Gu, the thousand households invite you, please follow us to report immediately."
"???"
