Chapter 143: Classification of Elixirs, the Door to a New World
After waiting for a quarter of an hour and confirming that Qian Jin had left, Gu Sheng took off his Bailian heavy armor.
He did not put away the giant ax that coughed up blood, but instead thrust it into a position where he could easily reach it.
The Black Sand Gang came with twenty people, but by this time they had been completely wiped out. Except for a few of them whose armors were damaged, most of them were repaired and still usable.
Gu Sheng looked at the heavy armor on the corpses of the Black Sand Gang with a look of pity on his face, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey! It would be great if I could take them all away. This is a lot of income."
However, when manpower was limited, Gu Sheng not only had to carry his own armor and blood- coughing battle ax, but also the body of the fanged blood tiger. He really couldn't spare his hands to take these armors.
However, Gu Sheng did not give up completely. After all, these people are all masters of the blood refining realm. They are also core members of the Black Sand Gang on weekdays. They must have some oil and water on them.
Gu Sheng's search for them turned out to be pretty good.
The total amount of money on these twenty people was more than 10,000 taels, and he also found thirteen Boiling Blood Pills from these corpses.
This wave can be regarded as a small fortune.
"Huh? What is this?"
Gu Sheng was curious and pulled out a black stone the size of a fingernail from Niu Zidong's hand.
The stone was as cold as jade. Gu Sheng played with it and found nothing special.
However, Gu Sheng did not throw it away. He felt that since Niu Zidong held it tightly in his hands at the moment of life and death, this thing must have a great background.
He couldn't see that it was just because he didn't have enough knowledge.
Gu Sheng kept the stones and banknotes close to his body, and put the rest of the things into the wooden box.
In order to deceive others, Gu Sheng waited until sunset before returning to Gujiazhuang with the equipment and the fanged blood tiger.
Although Gujiazhuang has strengthened patrols and built many traps and fortifications, these are of no use to Gu Sheng, and he can easily sneak into his home at night.
After returning home, Gu Sheng closed the door and began to deal with the fanged bloody tiger.
Gu Sheng was already familiar with the art of anatomy, and in just half an hour he had already cleaned up the fanged bloody tiger.
At this time, thirty-two square pieces of tiger meat were neatly placed in front of him, a relatively complete blood-red tiger skin, which had been dismantled into small pieces of tiger bones and three large tiles. Jar of tiger blood!
There was also a tray in front of Gu Sheng, with a heart larger than a human head on it.
This is the heart of the Fang Blood Tiger.
The fang blood tiger's heart is quite mysterious. Even after it has been dead for so long and was cut out and placed in a tray, it is still beating slightly. Through the candlelight, you can even see the blood flowing in it.
Those are the most precious hard work! Even without cutting it open, Gu Sheng could feel that the energy contained in it far exceeded that in the earthen jar.
Gu Sheng had never dealt with a monster blood beast, and he did not dare to cut open the heart rashly. After all, he would regret it if he accidentally destroyed the heart blood or weakened the effect.
"In these troubled times, even the Zoroastrian Cult has vague signs of getting involved. It seems that I have to speed up the progress!"
Although many of the words of those storytellers are boastful, there are also some truths in them.
Gu Sheng learned from their mouths that the Zoroastrian Cult was powerful and had influence all over the country. They were behind the chaos in Yunzhou and even the rebellious armies across the country.
Gu Sheng hated the evil cult that brought trouble to Chao Gang, and since he had already killed people from the Zoroastrian Cult, the feud between them was already dead.
No matter whether the Zoroastrianism mentioned by the storyteller was exaggerated or not, how weak could the force that could stir up chaos in a continent be? Gu Sheng had to make preparations in any case.
Although the Fang Blood Tiger has been dismantled, it is still huge, and Gu Sheng had to free up the box containing the heavy armor.
After putting all the bones and blood in, Gu Sheng knocked on Gu Erniu's door with two pieces of tiger meat.
Gu Erniu and his family are ordinary villagers. In these troubled times, they are always cautious and worried day and night.
This late at night, there was a sudden knock on the door, which frightened Gu Erniu and his wife.
Gu Erniu put on his clothes quietly and grabbed the bone-cutting knife placed on the bedside.
It was a knife Gu Erniu bought from the county town specifically to chop the bones of large prey.
The back of the knife is thick and the blade is polished so brightly that even the bones of a large insect will break with one strike.
Gu Erniu walked to the door with his knife and held his breath. He raised the bone-cutting knife in his hand and asked, "Who?"
As a warrior, his perception is different from ordinary people. Gu Sheng had already spotted Gu Erniu at the door. He smiled and replied in a low voice, "Brother Erniu, don't be afraid, it's me, Asheng."
Hearing Gu Sheng's familiar voice, Gu Erniu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the door bolt and let Gu Sheng in.
"Ah Sheng, why did you come to my place without sleeping at night? You scared me so much."
Gu Erniu put down the bone-cutting knife and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Gu Sheng couldn't help but laugh. He put two pieces of tiger meat on the table.
Although the fanged blood tiger is dead, its breath is still alive.
Gu Erniu participated in the last hunt for demon-blooded beasts in Gujiazhuang, and he was deeply impressed by this aura.
Gu Erniu immediately closed the door and closed all three door bolts in succession.
After doing this, he was still a little worried, and after struggling to push the cabinet where tools were usually stored to block the door, he looked at Gu Sheng nervously and asked.
"A Sheng, where did you get the meat of this demon-blooded beast? You don't know how to..."
Gu Erniu didn't know Gu Sheng's true strength. In his impression, only Gu Jingang and others in Gujiazhuang could deal with the monster beast. He asked this question because he was afraid that Gu Sheng would go astray and be punished by Gu Jingang and others.
Gu Erniu's family treated Gu Sheng very well. Although the meat they had given him was not worth much, it was like timely help, and the friendship was very heavy.
Gu Sheng whispered, "Brother Erniu, don't worry, I beat them myself, not stolen."
Gu Erniu's eyes widened when he heard this, "You beat them?"
It was only six or seven hours before dawn, and Gu Sheng didn't have much time. He didn't have time to explain too much to Gu Erniu, so he just patted Gu Erniu on the shoulder and said.
"Brother Erniu, the meat of the monster-blooded beast has the effect of tempering the body. You can cook it for Xiao Wan to eat. This will be of great benefit to his cultivation in the future. In addition, you and your sister-in-law can also eat some, but you two have not even practiced the pile exercise, and your physical constitution is weak. Eating too much may have a counter-effect. You and your sister-in-law can only eat one piece every three days!"
"The meat of the monster-blooded beast is not like ordinary meat. You should hide it and don't let outsiders know about it, so as not to worry about it."
After a few simple instructions, Gu Sheng easily moved the cabinet that Gu Erniu had pushed with great effort back to its original position, opened the bolt and left.
After Gu Sheng left, Gu Erniu immediately smeared some marinade on the meat to cover up the smell and then quickly hid it.
Gu Sheng returned home to get the decorated wooden box and then sneaked into the night and rushed towards Canghe County.
On the way, he also found the people of the Black Sand Gang. In order to save time, Gu Sheng did not kill them, but took a short detour with the snake breath technique.
After arriving at Canghe County, Gu Sheng easily avoided the guards and climbed over the city wall to enter the city.
Gu Sheng walked to the courtyard with ease and knocked on the door.
After a few breaths, Ding An, who was a little sleepy, opened the door.
When he saw Gu Sheng, Ding An immediately woke up.
Having been with Ge Qing for many years, Ding An's cognition was naturally incomparable to ordinary people.
He felt that the things in the wooden box on Gu Sheng's back were extraordinary.
"Master Li Hu! What are you visiting late at night for?"
Ding An did not open the door to let Gu Sheng in.
Although he could not beat Gu Sheng, Ding An was not in a hurry at all.
This is the residence of Master Ge Dan. If anyone dares to take action here, it is simply like looking for a lantern in a toilet - looking for death!
Gu Sheng bowed to Ding An and said, "I came to visit you late at night to ask Master Ge Dan for something important! To be honest, the box on my back contains the bones and blood of a demon-blooded beast. Please let Manager Ding know about it."
"Bone and blood of a demon-blooded beast?"
Ding An's pupils suddenly dilated a lot, and his face was full of shock. Demon-blooded beasts are of extraordinary value. Ge Qing would also collect demon-blooded beasts from the outside, but the effect was minimal.
For example, this year, they haven't received any for almost a year. If there are no new demon-blooded beasts to replenish, Master Ge Qing's medicine library will be empty.
Ding An also knew the importance of the matter. He said, "Master Li Hu, wait a moment, I will go and inform you." After that, he locked the door, and the footsteps inside the door became farther and farther away.
A few minutes later, Ding An came back and took the initiative to open the door to welcome Gu Sheng in.
"Master Li Hu, please. Master Ge will be waiting for you at the place where we met last time!"
Gu Sheng arrived at the place where they met last time. Ge Qing was already sitting at the table and brewing tea.
Ge Qing was wearing a loose white robe at this time, and looked a bit like an immortal.
Ge Qing's identity was a mystery, and his strength was profound. Even though Gu Sheng had now been promoted to the Bronze Bone Realm, he still felt that the other party's aura was like the vast ocean, unfathomable.
Gu Sheng put down the box and bowed to Ge Qing respectfully: "Hello, Master Ge. Please forgive me for visiting you so late at night."
Ge Qing brewed a cup of tea, took a sip, and smiled, "I heard that you brought the bones and blood of a monster-blooded beast? Although I also accept the bones and blood of monster-blooded beasts here, I also have requirements. I don't want those with too low a monster blood ratio."
Although Gu Sheng didn't know whether the monster blood ratio of the sharp-fanged blood tiger was high, judging from its strength, it was very likely to meet Ge Qing's conditions.
Gu Sheng didn't waste any more words and directly took out three large earthenware jars filled with tiger blood and a tray containing the heart.
Ge Qing, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly froze, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.
Ge Qing put down the teacup and directly held the still trembling heart with both hands to look at it.
After a while, he put the heart back on the tray and asked, "Is this beast a big insect with blood-red hair all over its body?"
Gu Sheng couldn't help but improve his evaluation of Ge Qing when he heard this.
Being able to describe the appearance of a sharp-fanged blood tiger based on a heart alone shows that his vision is definitely not ordinary!
Gu Sheng nodded, "Yes, please ask Master Ge Dan to see if the proportion of the beast's demon blood can meet the requirements of refining bone-protecting pills? If not, then I will take it back and cook it, so it won't be a waste."
Ge Qing couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Young people are always joking! The blood of this fanged blood tiger is inherited from the fire-winged blood tiger."
"The fire-winged blood tiger is a well-known ferocious creature even among real monsters. Such an existence, even if there is only a trace of blood, is much more rare than other monsters with low-level blood."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but feel happy.
From Ge Qing's words, it can be known that the blood of this monster also has different levels. Secondly, the blood of the fanged blood tiger he captured is unusual!
Gu Sheng opened the box, revealing a full of tiger bones.
"May I ask Master Ge Dan, how many bone-protecting pills can be obtained from these monster blood and bones?"
A strange energy surged from Ge Qing's hands, and the blood on his hands disappeared quickly like snow meeting the scorching sun.
Gu Sheng had never heard of or seen such a method before, and his pupils shrank. His head, which had been fully raised, lowered a few points.
Ge Qing picked up the teacup and slowly drank the tea before slowly speaking.
"With my skills, I can make nine pills in one furnace of a crude pill like bone-protecting pill. Judging from these numbers, there is no problem in refining three furnaces. As for the heart blood in the heart, if it is supplemented with some medicinal materials, it can be refined into a bone-forging pill that is ten times more effective and can strengthen bones and enhance endurance!"
Gu Sheng couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
Because of the panel, he can achieve both realm cultivation and martial arts skills naturally. When the quantity is reached, it can produce qualitative changes. There is no shackles at all.
If he could have the help of the Bone Refining Pill, his speed would change from flying in an airplane to flying in a rocket!
Although Gu Sheng was delighted, he heard clearly that the refining of the Bone Refining Pill required the assistance of other medicinal materials.
Judging from the efficacy of the Bone Refining Pill, the auxiliary medicinal materials must not be ordinary.
Gu Sheng did not have such a thing.
But since Ge Qing had brought it up, he must have it.
At this time, Ge Qing was looking at Gu Sheng with a smile.
Gu Sheng knew that the old man was waiting for him to speak first.
Gu Sheng bowed to Ge Qing and said, "Then I'll trouble Master Ge to take care of it. You have been deeply involved in this field and have a wide range of knowledge. Please take care of the auxiliary medicinal materials you need. I will pay for all the expenses when the pills are made."
Ge Qing smiled and said, "The bone-forging pill is a top-grade yellow-level pill. The required medicinal materials are expensive. I'm afraid you can't afford it."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng's eyes showed a hint of confusion, "Do pills also have different levels?"
Ge Qing nodded and said, "Of course. Whether it is pills, treasures, skills and martial arts, they are divided into levels. From high to low, they can be divided into four major levels: heaven, earth, and yellow, which are further divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower."
Gu Sheng had never heard of what Ge Qing said.
These words opened a door to a new world for Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng asked curiously, "What grade of elixir is the bone-protecting pill? Why are the martial arts we practice called first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate?"
Ge Qing shook his head and said, "What you said is just the classification of some inferior martial arts by the villagers in these remote and barren places."
Gu Sheng originally thought that he had broken through the bronze bone realm and had a foothold in this world with so many martial arts in his hands. Now, from Ge Qing's words, he is still just a frog in the well.
However, Gu Sheng did not feel inferior because of this, but instead had a high fighting spirit.
His original dream when he traveled to this world was to achieve perfection in cultivation, travel to every corner of this world, and appreciate the unique style of this world.
Ge Qing's words gave him a clearer goal! (End of this chapter)
