1031 Alchemist Lu’s Terrifying Influence (1)
When the Fourth Elder of the Gu family entered the living room and saw Gu Ying waiting in the living room, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Seeing that it was Daoist Mu Qing and the others who had entered, Gu Ying couldn’t help but feel a little awkward. He stood up and braced himself to greet them.
“Ying, why are you here?”
Before Daoist Mu Qing and the others could ask about Gu Ying’s identity, the fourth elder of the Gu family spoke first.
“I… I’m here to look for Alchemist Lu and Second Young Master Mu.”
Gu Ying still respected the Fourth Elder of the Gu family, who had once helped him, so his tone was still respectful.
“Looking for Ah Yan and the little lass from the Lu family?”
The Fourth Elder of the Gu family frowned in confusion, then seemed to have thought of something and sighed slightly. “Are you determined to leave the Gu family?”
Gu Ying wasn’t surprised that he had guessed it. He smiled bitterly. “In my situation, if I stay in the Gu family, I might be killed by the head of the family at any time. I’ve never resigned myself to fate since I was young. It’s the same now.”
The Fourth Elder of the Gu family also knew about Gu Ying’s situation in the Gu family. A hint of pity flashed across his eyes. “It’s been hard on you all these years. It’s good to leave.”
Gu Ying might have appeared like one of the heirs to the Gu, but in fact, he was just a toy that Gu Feng could crush at will.
Coupled with the inaction of Gu Ying’s parents, it was obvious how difficult it was for Gu Ying to survive in the Gu family.
If not for the fact that Gu Ying knew how to judge the situation, he would have died at the hands of Gu Feng and her father.
The fourth elder of the Gu family thought for a moment and said, “If you don’t have anywhere to go, stay.”
Gu Ying was delighted, but when he thought of Lu Zijia’s displeasure towards him, he felt bitter again. “Thank you for your kindness, Fourth Elder. We’ll talk about it later!”
The Fourth Elder of the Gu family thought that he had other plans, so he didn’t continue to persuade him.
At this moment, the door to the alchemy room was also opened.
Lu Zijia looked a little tired, but she was smiling brightly. Clearly, she was in a good mood.
“Disciple-in-law, is there something good again?”
Seeing his disciple’s wife smile so happily, Taoist Mu Qing immediately asked curiously.
He was just asking casually, but he didn’t expect Lu Zijia to really nod. “That’s right! There’s something good.”
As she spoke, Lu Zijia walked over and waved her hand. Immediately, more than ten jade bottles appeared on the coffee table.
Before they could ask, Lu Zijia spoke first.
“These medicinal pills are Marrow Cleansing Pills. Taking one can cleanse a fifth of the impurities in a martial artist’s body, including the impurities in the medicinal pills that are left in the meridians. We don’t have that many herbs to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill. I wanted to refine it later on, but I couldn’t wait anymore, so I refined it in advance.”
The medicinal herbs used to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill were matured through the Spirit Gathering Array. It cost Lu Zijia a lot of spirit stones and a large amount of jade.
Lu Zijia’s heart ached when she saw the half-spirit stones that she had painstakingly gathered turn into powder in the Spirit Gathering Array.
“W-What? Marrow Cleansing Pill?!”
Hearing that it could cleanse the impurities of pills in the meridians, Taoist Mu Qing and the others stood up from the sofa in shock. They looked at Lu Zijia as though she was a monster.
However, Lu Zijia nodded calmly. “That’s right. I plan to use the Marrow Cleansing Pill as a reward. As long as anyone dares to cripple the disciples of those three families, they can receive a Marrow Cleansing Pill from me!”
