Mundane Saint

Chapter 54 – Senior Gu is really generous!

The Thousand Sword Hunting Grounds didn't seem like a place that outsiders couldn't enter. Maybe it was somewhat private, but what problem couldn't be solved with money?

Gu Heng felt his wallet was quite full.

Of course, all of this was for his little female disciple. It wasn't easy to adopt such an adorable and lovely girl, so he had to pamper her. Whatever the disciple wanted, the master should try to fulfill it!

Seeing Wu Rong's slowly relaxing expression, Gu Heng knew his request had been accepted by the old man.

"If Mr. Gu is willing to pay an entrance fee... then this matter can certainly be discussed!"

Wu Rong clapped his hands, beaming with joy. "The Thousand Sword Hunting Grounds is indeed not easy to let outsiders into, but... if Mr. Gu is willing to pay a price for your disciple to enter, it’s not impossible."

Gu Heng's lips curled slightly.

As expected, people from wealthy families always knew how to ask for more benefits. Although Wu Rong's grandson's hand was cut off by Qin Yiyao, he seemed to quickly get over the old man's mindset of embarrassment and was quite adaptable... Gu Heng felt that the old man probably had more than one grandson. He came to apologize, but he might not really care about the matter.

Maybe he just wanted to get on good terms with him.

But was it necessary?

Gu Heng thought of himself as just a humble owner of a Medicine Hall. What was there worth flattering for a landlord like him...

Gu Heng was silent for a while, finally nodding, "Alright, let's settle it this way. You go back and send someone who can make decisions to talk to me."

Qin Yiyao blinked. Was it settled so easily?

But, they had to pay an entrance fee...

She stood behind Gu Heng, wanting to tug at his clothes, but in the end, she held back.

Her new master was really willing to spend money on her.

Although Qin Yiyao's memories of her past life were not very clear, she knew that no one had ever treated her so well. Maybe it was because before she became the renowned Saint Yao Emperor, she had always lived a solitary life...

Her heart suddenly felt warm, and the whole world seemed wonderful.

"By the way, I have some medicine. Take it back for your grandson."

Seeing that Wu Rong was about to leave, Gu Heng suddenly had the idea and took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, handing it to Wu Rong.

Wu Rong was momentarily stunned, then quickly held the jade bottle with both hands respectfully.

"Thank you, thank you! This... this medicine is..."

Wu Rong, who was worried about finding an excuse to leave, immediately took the medicine and examined it carefully.

Upon seeing it, his eyes widened!

Two seventh-grade pills with pill patterns!

His breathing became heavy.

"Mr. Gu... did you make these?" Wu Rong asked with trembling hands.

Gu Heng replied indifferently, "Just something I casually made. But it should help your grandson recover a bit. There's another one for you."

The pills in the bottle weren't particularly precious, just for replenishing blood and energy. Young people would feel warm all over after taking them, and older people would feel refreshed. Wu Rong's grandson had lost a lot of blood after his hand was cut off, and although it couldn't reattach his hand, the medicine could at least help him recover faster.

Wu Rong took a few deep breaths, trying not to let his excitement show in front of this master.

Because it was like exchanging his grandson's hand for two top-grade pills!

A great deal!

Originally, he thought he would have to lose half of his savings to apologize, but unexpectedly, he didn't lose anything and even received pills from Mr. Gu, and they were seventh-grade treasure pills!

Seventh-grade pills, treasures that couldn't be found even if you turned the entire Nianling Sect upside down!

This Hidden World Master was so generous to him?

Maybe he offered the pills because Wu Jie had his hand cut off by his disciple, but if he could establish a good relationship from the start, the benefits wouldn't just be two pills!

Thinking this way, Wu Rong was even more furious with his wastrel grandson, wishing he could go back and hang him on a tree for a good beating.

That wastrel only thought with what was between his legs every day.

Wu Rong stabilized his tone and expression, cautiously asking, "May I ask, Mr. Gu... are these pills really for me and my grandson?"

"Of course, you came all this way, I can't let you leave empty-handed."

Gu Heng waved his hand.

"Then on behalf of my unworthy grandson, thank you, Mr. Gu, for the medicine!"

"Mm," Gu Heng waved his hand, "Go on."

Wu Rong quickly bowed and ran off like he was holding a treasure, his steps swift, as if he wanted to sprout wings. Gu Heng watched his vigorous pace, his eyelids twitching.

This old man was quite robust.

"Master," Qin Yiyao leaned close to Gu Heng's ear and whispered, "Why did you give that old man medicine?"

Qin Yiyao now felt her request wasn't very satisfying.

Why did her master not only have to give benefits to the Nianling Sect to let her enter the "Thousand Sword Hunting Grounds," but also give Wu Rong two seventh-grade pills before the matter was settled!

What a loss!

Even though Qin Yiyao herself didn't suffer any loss, she still felt it was a loss.

Although she knew that for Gu Heng, who had already touched the level of "immortal," seventh-grade pills weren't anything precious, they weren't like stones on the roadside that could be given away just like that!

Qin Yiyao didn't want her master to give things away for her everywhere. He was already good enough to her.

Gu Heng glanced at her, "What's the harm in giving them? Just two little sugar pills, and besides, I'm doing it for you."

He stood up and vigorously rubbed Qin Yiyao's head.

She pursed her lips, her heart sweet.

When she became stronger in the future, she had to think of a good way to repay her master.

...

Wu Rong quickly returned to the Nianling Sect.

However, as soon as he returned to his courtyard, he found that the sect master, Zhu Ling, was already there.

Moreover, his expression was as serious as if he were about to kill someone.

Wu Rong's heart skipped a beat.

Nothing happened in the Nianling Sect that the sect master didn't know about. Wu Jie came back with a severed hand, and many disciples probably saw it. Naturally, the sect master couldn't be kept in the dark.

Wu Rong's heart tightened, but then he relaxed.

Fortunately, he acted decisively, first lowering his stance to apologize to Mr. Gu and his female disciple. Now, even if the sect master wanted to hold him accountable, Wu Rong could refute him because he had two seventh-grade pills given by Mr. Gu in his pocket!

He went to apologize, didn't lose anything, and even got two pills in return. What did that mean?

It meant that the person had long since stopped caring about the matter!

When the person involved had already said, "Let's put this matter behind us," Zhu Ling, an outsider, had no room to criticize.
