Chapter 217: Meeting an Acquaintance Again

And so, a month later.

"What's going on? Wake up! Wake up! Hurry up and wake up!"

"How could it be like this!"

Long Xuan lifted the Calamity Poison Gu into mid-air, shaking it back and forth.

However, the Calamity Poison Gu just swayed in mid-air like a corpse, without the slightest movement.

Long Xuan was dumbfounded.

He had not expected this to happen. Ever since he used the help of the Heavenly Mechanism Eye and borrowed Gu worms with special abilities to finally research Plutonium, he had been unable to wait to feed it to the Calamity Poison Gu.

He was cautious by nature, so he only fed the Calamity Poison Gu one gram.

Who would have thought that after eating it, it would immediately become like this, falling into a deep coma, unable to be woken no matter how he called it.

Long Xuan was burning with anxiety, pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, full of worry.

The Calamity Poison Gu was actually afraid of poison and could even be poisoned into a coma. Are you kidding me! Are you teasing me? Long Xuan was completely numb.

He placed his finger under the Calamity Poison Gu's nose and found that it was still breathing, which made him let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, it was still alive.

Thinking that the Wine Gu had also appeared in a similar situation before but had successfully pulled through in the end, hope rose in Long Xuan's heart.

After slowly placing it into the Insect Breeding Bag, he let it rest peacefully.

Damn, what is all this.

Long Xuan could not think of a way to wake it up. All the antidote pills in this world were ineffective against elemental poisons, so he could only leave the Calamity Poison Gu in the Insect Breeding Bag and observe the changes.

Whether it lived or died depended entirely on its own fortune; he had already done his best.

A month later, Long Xuan took out the Calamity Poison Gu and saw that it was still in a deep coma. He could not help but show a bitter expression. Finally, he pushed the door open and walked out. His mentality had collapsed, and he decided to go out to relax.

Black Stone City, Market.

With the successive great battles, some people died, while others killed to seize treasures and became wealthy.

Those who seized the storage bags of others always had to trade away things they did not need. Therefore, in this world, war is always the time when the street stall economy is most booming.

Every day, countless Gu Cultivators take the things they obtained from the battlefield and set up stalls here.

Some stall owners became wealthy because of this, while others became the laughingstock of the market because they did not know the value of their goods and had heaven-defying treasures picked up by others.

Such matters spread from ten to a hundred, attracting too many people who wanted to come and pick up bargains, making the Black Stone City market overcrowded every day.

Long Xuan also heard too much news of this kind, so he also had the idea of coming to the market to pick up bargains, and he would come to the market from time to time.

Relying on his Golden Finger, he had a bountiful harvest every time he came, but he would not show off everywhere if he picked up a bargain, so there had never been any rumors in the city about what treasures he had picked up.

After he arrived at the market, gazes would sweep towards him from time to time, with awe in some gazes and wariness in others.

As one of the Ten Great Monstrosities of the Western Lands, and ranked in the top three, his fame was now truly too great; it was difficult not to attract others' attention.

In the past, people would always run over to make friends, but they would always be met with a cold shoulder. Long Xuan deliberately acted arrogant and difficult to get along with, so now no one came to talk to him.

He did not want to waste time on meaningless socializing. Unless that person had the value of being befriended and could help him in the future, befriending some meaningless friends was purely a waste of time.

Long Xuan wandered around the various stalls. His eye for treasures was very high, and there were very few treasures that could catch his eye at present.

Therefore, he took a quick glance at most of the stalls and then continued to walk forward without stopping.

Most of the things on the stalls were various weapons used by body cultivators, which were completely useless to Gu Cultivators. Not only weapons, but most things used by body cultivators were useless to Gu Cultivators.

Yet, in this war, the Great Yin Dynasty clearly had the intention of using cheap body cultivators to consume the Western Lands' Gu Cultivators, so the vast majority of things appearing on the market stalls were things used by body cultivators.

Long Xuan had walked for half a day and had not found a single treasure that caught his eye.

Just as he was about to lose patience and prepare to go back, his Insect Breeding Bag moved suddenly, and the rabbit inside actually started to struggle frantically again.

Long Xuan's eyes lit up immediately.

Whenever none of the clones were in the Medicine Garden, Long Xuan's practice was to bring that rabbit out.

Otherwise, if this rabbit was left unattended, it would be lawless and could do anything.

He was afraid that this rabbit would ruin his Medicine Garden when he was away, pulling out all the rarest and most precious spirit herbs to refine pills. When he went back to look, the Medicine Garden would have been ruined.

This rabbit was already obsessed with refining pills, so he had to be on guard. To be cautious, he even brought the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm out; he did not dare to leave it alone in the Medicine Garden at all.

Having already had one incident, how could he not learn his lesson?

He did not expect that bringing the rabbit out this time would be the right move, and there would be an unexpected harvest.

This rabbit was a Treasure Hunting Rabbit, and its sense of smell for spirit herbs was truly too keen.

Any method to isolate the aura of spirit herbs could not deceive its nose.

And its eye for treasures was also extremely high; what could make it restless could never be a Fourth Grade spirit herb.

And Fifth to Tenth Grade spirit herbs do not grow in this world, so what grade could the spirit herb that made the rabbit excited be?

Long Xuan's eyes became brighter and brighter.

He could not take this rabbit out in public, but it was no problem to simply understand its meaning.

Under its guidance, Long Xuan walked straight in one direction. Not long after, he walked to a stall.

The stall owner in front of this stall was actually an old acquaintance, and the bottles and jars in front of his stall were also so familiar, making him vaguely return to the time when he had just traveled to this world.

"Li Laodao, it's actually you? How did you come here?"

Long Xuan exclaimed subconsciously.

That's right, the stall owner in front of the stall was the first friend he made after coming to this world, Li Laodao.

He thought that the two of them would not have any intersection in the future, but he did not expect to meet again here. He had to sigh that this world was truly too small.

At this time, this Li Laodao was already at the Essence Refining Stage, and it was the late stage of Essence Refining, actually at the same level as him. Obviously, this Child of Fortune had encountered some great opportunity somewhere again.

Coupled with the fact that the treasure guided by the rabbit was in his storage bag, how could a poor scattered cultivator have such a heaven-defying treasure? He must have had another heaven-defying opportunity.

Long Xuan had to sigh that encountering opportunities so frequently, his identity as a Child of Fortune was certain.

Seeing this familiar face, Li Laodao could not help but be stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses and said with a bitter smile: "I didn't expect you to still be able to recognize me."

"Long time no see, your reputation is now very loud. Ranked third among the Ten Great Monstrosities of the Western Lands, I really can't imagine that you would be my good brother."

"When I first saw you, I determined that this child was not a thing in the pool and would surely achieve great things in the future, which is why I had the idea of making friends and pestered you every day."

"It seems that my judgment of people is truly accurate. It seems that I am going to fly to great heights." Li Laodao joked, without any estrangement because of the huge change in their identities.

"You haven't said how you appeared here. Are Di Xin and Little Medicine Boy also here?"

Long Xuan squatted down and asked curiously.

Seeing that someone could be so familiar with Long Xuan, one of the Ten Great Monstrosities, many people nearby turned their attention here and kept Li Laodao's appearance in their hearts.

Some even had the idea of making friends with Li Laodao next.

Anyone who knows a big shot is a potential stock. Once the big shot remembers old feelings, these people will fly to great heights sooner or later.

"Is it hard to guess why I appeared here? That City Lord Yan of yours, in order to fight against the Great Yin Dynasty, actually sold land everywhere and pulled many factions in the surrounding barren regions into the camp against the Great Yin Dynasty."

"Under the bloodbath of the Great Yin Dynasty and Shi Haojun, the Western Lands indeed emptied a large piece of land. Factions in barren places dream of developing in more fertile places. At this time, with an opportunity to gain a foothold in the Western Lands placed in front of them, how could they not be tempted?"

"So they were all deceived into the alliance by that City Lord Yan. I joined a faction called the Loose Cultivator Alliance before, and I had to be dragged into this war."

"And because Little Medicine Boy had the Spirit Gathering Pill you refined, he had already broken through before me."

"And because he cultivated the technique obtained from that cave abode, his progress was rapid, and he had already cultivated to the peak of Essence Refining long ago."

"However, ever since he came to the Western Lands, he has always told me that he felt a voice calling him from far away in the east."

"He was worried and absent-minded all day because of this voice, and finally he could no longer control himself and went to seek that voice."

"No matter how I persuaded him, he wouldn't listen. I have a premonition that it can't be a good thing for him to seek that voice."

"As for that Di Xin, she went sightseeing in the treasure vaults of various clans everywhere, and finally she was so bold that she dared to have ideas about the Seven Great Clans. In the end, she provoked heaven's anger and people's resentment, and was chased and killed by the major factions in the Far West. She had already been driven to the Western Lands before I came out."

"After I came to the Western Lands, I inquired about her news. It is said that she didn't stop after coming to the Western Lands and went sightseeing in the treasure vaults of major factions everywhere."

"In the end, she offended all the major clans in the Western Lands and was chased and killed by the various factions in the Western Lands."

"She couldn't mix in the Western Lands anymore, so she continued to run to the east and continued to harm those regions in the east."

"According to her way of doing things, she will anger all local factions wherever she goes and then be chased and killed by numerous factions."

"She will frequently change maps and keep running to the east until she kills her way to the very center of this world."

"I have a premonition that as long as she doesn't die, she will surely become a demon in the future, and a great demon rare in heaven and earth."

Li Laodao showed a solemn expression, frowned, and sighed: "Her actions are truly too crazy and too dangerous. From my understanding of her, she is definitely not the type of person who would risk her life for treasures."

"There must be something in her heart, even if she spares no cost, she must crazily improve her strength."

"And she is a mortal body. If she cultivates step by step, even if she is tired to death, don't think about cultivating to the Essence Refining Stage."

"She can only rely on this way of stealing, using huge resources to smash herself into a cultivation genius."

"At present, I don't know where she is, anyway, it's impossible to be in the Western Lands."

Hearing this, the corners of Long Xuan's mouth twitched constantly. He was now truly curious, with Di Xin acting like this, how did she manage to be chased and killed by major factions every day without dying?

It is truly a miracle that she could grow up to this size.

You must know that she is only at the Essence Refining Stage. A person at the Essence Refining Stage offended all factions in a region, yet could live well. How did she do it?

Forget it, her identity as a Child of Fortune is certain. Only a protagonist's life would be so tough, and only a protagonist's halo could allow her to live until now.
