Chapter 379: Shameless Gu Can

Seeing Jiang Feng remain silent for a long while, Gu Nantian's brows twitched slightly.

How? Are you scared?

Gu Can, seeing that Gu Nantian still dared to refine Poison in front of the Crowd, could no longer restrain the Anger in his heart.

His figure flashed, and in an instant he appeared before Gu Nantian.

He raised his palm, as if he could crush this treacherous son on the spot.

Rebel son! You are downright mad!

Gu Can roared in anger, his voice shaking the eardrums of those nearby.

How could I, Gu Can, have a son like you! From today I declare that you are expelled from the Gu Family; from now on you are no longer a member of the Gu Family, and everything of the Gu Family is unrelated to you!

Gu Nantian, facing his father's raging demeanor, showed no hint of fear; instead he lifted his head, his gaze icy as he stared at Gu Can.

In his eyes there was not a trace of kinship, only bone‑piercing cold.

I am mad.

Gu Nantian's voice was hoarse, yet carried a bone‑chilling chill.

Since my mother was used by you as a Medicine Recognition catalyst to forge the so‑called Supreme Human Pill, I have already been mad!

What?

The words rang out like thunder across the Nine heavens, exploding through the Crowd.

Everyone was stunned, turning their heads toward Gu Can, their gazes full of Shock.

Gu Can's complexion turned deathly pale in an instant, a flash of extreme Trembling crossing his eyes.

He instinctively stepped back, pointing at Gu Nantian, his voice already trembling.

You… how did you know? I clearly executed this flawlessly, and you were so young then that you could not possibly recall!

Gu Nantian looked at his father's panicked state, a cold smile appearing on his face.

In that smile lay resentment deep to the bone.

Do you think that because I was young then, knowing nothing, I could hide everything? Gu Nantian's voice grew colder.

I watched with my own eyes as you used her blood and life as a Medicine Recognition catalyst to forge that so‑called Supreme Human Pill!

A child, no matter how small, would not forget the vengeance for killing his mother; how could he forget your snarling, mad face?

Gu Can!

Gu Nantian stared fixedly at his father, the hatred in his gaze nearly spilling over.

You, in pursuit of a higher Medical Dao realm, would sacrifice your own wife! You are so ruthless that you wouldn't even spare your own pillow‑side person; then on what grounds can I not use your life to obtain a Poison Pill that no one can break!

Wow!

The scene erupted completely, and everyone's gaze toward Gu Can changed entirely.

Oh my! I never expected Lady Gu to have died at the hands of the Family Head, and to be used as a Medicine Recognition catalyst to forge an Elixir?

Terrifying! I always thought the Family Head was merciful and generous, a Medical Dao model of Taoyuan Village, but I never imagined he was so ruthless, even sparing not his own wife!

To refine an Elixir, sacrificing even one's wife—does that still make a human? It's sheer madness!

Various voices of debate rose and fell, everyone condemning Gu Can's cruelty.

Their gazes at him were full of contempt.

The Five Great Elders' faces turned exceedingly grim, especially Gong Hong and several other Elders, whose gazes at Gu Can carried a hint of Shock.

They never imagined that the seemingly upright Gu Can would commit such an act of utter cruelty.

Only the old Village Chief closed his eyes tightly, saying nothing.

Facing the Crowd's accusations, Gu Can felt no remorse at all.

Instead he straightened his back and said coldly,

Enough! All of you, shut up!

His gaze swept over everyone present, speaking with righteous confidence.

The Gu Family inherits from the ancient Yaoshen Dian; for a thousand years we have saved the dying and healed the injured, countless lives rescued! Everything I do is for the Yaoshen Dian's Medical Dao!

Your mother was merely an ordinary person; had her blood not been special, naturally containing pure life force, I would not have given her a second glance! Her becoming the Medicine Recognition catalyst for the Supreme Human Pill is her honor!

Though she is dead, her life force has merged into the Supreme Human Pill. That Elixir is an unparalleled treasure! Though dead, she remains honored!

Gu Can looked at Gu Nantian, his tone tinged with a hatred that could not harden into steel.

You, as a member of the Gu Family and a successor of the Yaoshen Dian, should understand your father's well‑intended hardship! Sacrificing a few trivial things for the Medical Dao is nothing! Yet you have harbored resentment against me for years over this—utterly foolish!

As soon as those words left his mouth, everyone present involuntarily inhaled a cold gasp, their faces full of Shock.

They never imagined Gu Can could be so shameless!

Too shameless! Absolutely unreasonable!

Gu Can's true face has finally been revealed today! Such a person is unfit to be the Gu Family's Family Head, let alone practice medicine to save lives!

The Crowd's angry shouts grew louder, their gazes at Gu Can filled with extreme contempt.

Only Gu Nantian seemed already accustomed to his father's shamelessness.

There was no hint of surprise on his face, only a cold remark.

Well done on the well‑intended hardship, well done on being honored even in death! Since you deem sacrificing lives an honor, I also hope you, Father, will use your own life to forge an unparalleled Poison Pill for your son, so I can prove my Medical Dao!

This, too, is your honor!

Gu Can was momentarily stunned, then looked to the heavens and burst into a hearty laugh, his laughter dripping with contempt.

He pointed at Jiang Feng mockingly, saying,

Just the two of you, still wet behind the ears, attempting to forge a Poison Pill that could kill me? Pure fantasy!

I, Gu Can, have painstakingly cultivated the Pill Dao for nearly a hundred years, progressing from the Medicine Recognition realm step by step to the Peak of Transforming Spirit Realm. I may not be able to taste all the herbs like Tai Gu Shen Nong Da Di, nor discern the properties of ten thousand herbs, but I have encountered and studied almost every toxin in this world!

Even with the two of you, even if you exhaust all effort, the Poison Pill you forge is, in my eyes, merely child's play, unworthy of killing me!

Gu Can's voice grew louder, and his tone grew more arrogant.

He swept his gaze over Jiang Feng and Gu Nantian, and said coldly.

"Heh heh, I'll leave the words here! Today, as long as this kid can deduce the so‑called Poison Pill that cannot be solved by any Medicine, and can perfect your Poison, Old brother dares to try eating it in public!"

"If Old brother dies beneath this Poison Pill, consider my learning inadequate! But if this Poison Pill cannot injure me a minute, then you two, don't blame me for being ruthless, I will clean the gate on the spot!"

When those words were spoken, the whole seat erupted in uproar!

Everyone was stunned; they did not expect Gu Can to be so arrogant, to dare make such a public wager!

It should be known that Gu Nantian is proficient in the Medicine Way, and the Poison he refines is already extremely domineering.

If Jiang Feng further perfects it, the toxicity would inevitably become even more terrifying.

Gu Can daring to try eating it publicly is simply gambling with his own life!

Gu Can watched Jiang Feng Standing in place, silent for a long while, and thought Jiang Feng was frightened by his words and did not dare to agree.

His mocking smile deepened, and he said disdainfully in tone.

"What's the matter? Kid, are you scared? Weren't you so arrogant just now? Now you can't even speak? I think you're just a waste who only knows how to talk, you don't understand any Medicine principle, let alone deduce any so‑called Poison Pill that cannot be solved by Medicine!"

"I advise you to concede early, roll out of Taoyuan Village, lest you embarrass yourself later!"

Jiang Feng, however, ignored Gu Can's mockery, and slowly extended his hand, grabbing that dark‑red Poison Pill.

He placed the Elixir on his nose tip, gently sniffed it, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.

In the next moment, something no one expected happened.

Jiang Feng turned and headed toward Yao Lu.

"Hahaha! He ran! He really was scared, fled in fright!"

Gu Can saw Jiang Feng turn and leave, assuming Jiang Feng had been scared away.

His mocking smile deepened, pointing at Jiang Feng's silhouette, and the crowd laughed loudly.

"I told you he was a waste, now he scurries away in disgrace!"

And Gu Nantian's eyes dimmed slightly.

Could it be that Jiang Feng really was scared?
