Evil Emperor's Wild Consort Chapter 160 The Longevity Pill 5

Once a Martial Warrior reaches the level of a Martial King, they will receive a 100-year increase in their lifespan. If a high-level Martial General was on the verge of breaking through but was at the end of their lifespan, they would probably be long gone. But with an additional ten years, they would have a chance to break through and gain another 100-year increase in their lifespan. Therefore, you imagine the importance of obtaining an additional ten years to the lifespan of a Martial Warrior.

Gu Xianglin kept quiet but his eyes were glowing. He was obviously planning to obtain the pill formula somehow.

Putting the ten years increase in lifespan aside, if he was able to refine the Longevity Pill, who knows how much wealth he will be able to accumulate?

He was struck by a thought, “Shopkeeper Zhao, I wish to meet with your Master. Could you invite him over?”

Shopkeeper Zhao was caught off guard. The Master of the Hundred Herb Hall was her Ladyship but she doesn’t seem to want anyone to know her real status within the Hundred Herb Hall. He definitely would not betray her.

“My apologies, Master Gu. Our Master does not wish to see anyone. Furthermore, you accused the Hundred Herb Hall of selling fake pills. If that’s the case, why would you want to see our Master?”

Shopkeeper Zhao spoke with mockery and disdain.

Gu Xianglin was not offended and continued to persuade him in a light tone of voice, “Shopkeeper Zhao, I’d trouble you to inform your Master that the Young Master of Gentle Breeze Faction, Gu Xianglin, wishes to meet with him.”

“Haha!” Shopkeeper Zhao laughed out loud, “Gu Xianglin, are you trying to use the Gentle Breeze Faction to pressure the Hundred Herb Hall? It’s a shame that, in my eyes, your faction means absolutely nothing to us. Please leave now.”

Gu Xianglin’s face turned a few shades darker after hearing this. He smiled coldly and rebutted emotionlessly, “I called you Shopkeeper Zhao for the sake of giving the Hundred Herb Hall face and you’ve no right to speak to me that way. Call your Master out here! Only he would be worthy enough to be in my presence.”

Whoosh!

Once Gu Xianglin had finished speaking, the members of the Gentle Breeze Faction behind him drew their weapons and glared at Shopkeeper Zhao with disdain.

They looked like they were prepared to shed blood once their Master says the word.

“The Gentle Breeze Faction, how impressive.”

Gu Ruoyun, who had been sitting and watching the show from the side, finally stood up. She was all smiles as she said, “I can’t believe that the Gentle Breeze Faction has sent an illegitimate Young Master over. Such an imposter is even more impressive than the fraudulent Wind Household’s Second Young Master. Tsk tsk, now I can see you in a new light.”

Everyone knew that Gu Xianglin was only the adopted son of the Gentle Breeze Faction’s Order Master, so he was seen as an illegitimate successor. These words stabbed him straight through the heart and caused the expression on his face to turn as cold as ice.

“Little cousin, is this how you’d speak to your older cousin? Now that Elder Lei and the others are not around, who else do you think can protect you? The Ghost Doctor? Although her medical skills are superb, I can’t say so about her abilities. It’s a mistake to think that you can depend on her! There’s only one Martial King in the Hundred Herb Hall but Gentle Breeze Faction has two. A wise man always trims his sails to the wind! Don’t do anything that you’ll regret for your entire life.”

To those who do not know the real situation, it was easy to perceive Gu Xianglin’s kindly and mollifying manner as a caring older brother who was advising his younger sister. 

However…

Gu Ruoyun laughed, “Gu Xianglin, the fact that you wanted to meet the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall, wasn’t it because you wanted to obtain the pill formula for the Longevity Pill? Why don’t you stop beating around the bush and quit wasting our time?”

Although Gu Xianglin had indeed thought of acquiring the pill formulas for himself, he still felt awkward after being exposed. He explained in a righteous tone, “I don’t know what kind of grudge you have with General Gu but I, Gu Xianglin, have always treated you like a sister. The pill formula is a coveted treasure to many and cultivators will resort to robbery and theft to obtain them. As someone from the Hundred Herb Hall, things will become dangerous for you. Therefore, I had thought of taking the formulas from the Hundred Herb Hall to ensure your safety.”
