BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 185: Meeting Hai Bo Dong

Chapter 185: Meeting Hai Bo Dong

In the room, Nalan father and daughter looked at Gu He, their expressions filled with gratitude.

Regarding Nalan Su's grand gesture, Gu He ignored it and simply said, "Yanran is my disciple. Since she has a request, I will naturally fulfill it."

Gu He's words directly expressed his attitude.

He did all this simply for the sake of Nalan Yanran.

Nalan Su naturally understood this.

If it weren't for Nalan Yanran, with the face of their Nalan family, how could they possibly invite the renowned Lord Alchemist?

However, understanding aside, gratitude was still due.

Gu He said a few words and then fell silent. His gaze turned to Nalan Jie, and he spoke, "Old man, can we continue now?"

After taking the Longevity Bead, Nalan Jie's body had already recovered by a large extent. Hearing this, he immediately spoke with vigor, "Please, Lord Alchemist, go ahead. My old bones can still withstand it."

Gu He, hearing this, didn't hesitate and continued to control his own Flame of the Soul to remove the branding poison from Nalan Jie.

Half an hour later, the branding poison in Nalan Jie's body was finally completely removed.

Gu He's thoughts moved, and his fingers slightly curved. The purple flame that lingered outside the bones began to slowly withdraw, and the last traces were carefully reclaimed into Gu He's body.

After the last wisp of purple flame was reclaimed into his body, Gu He finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead.

In his heart, he couldn't help but sigh. This detoxification process was even more exhausting than refining a seventh-grade pill.

It wasn't because removing the branding poison was difficult for Gu He.

In fact, for Gu He, who possessed the Flame of the Soul, the branding poison was nothing.

Now, Gu He's Flame of the Soul had already condensed into two different kinds of Flame of the Soul.

This small branding poison was nothing in front of Gu He. As long as it touched the Flame of the Soul inside his body, it would be annihilated.

What he was more afraid of was accidentally killing Nalan Jie during the detoxification process.

How terrifying was the power of Gu He's Flame of the Soul?

Even the likes of Wu Protector, an eight-star Dou Zong, could only escape when facing Gu He's Flame of the Soul.

And Nalan Jie?

He was just a mere Dou Wang.

With such strength, even if he was touched by Gu He's Flame of the Soul, Nalan Jie would be burned to ashes in an instant.

Therefore, throughout the entire detoxification process, Gu He had to be extremely careful, afraid that a slight shake of his Flame of the Soul would directly burn Nalan Jie to death.

This was also the reason why Gu He spent so much energy.

Fortunately, the detoxification process went smoothly.

"Lord Alchemist, how is it?"

Seeing that Gu He seemed to have stopped the detoxification, Nalan Su hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Gu He glanced at Nalan Jie, whose complexion had improved somewhat, and pondered, "The branding poison in his body has been completely removed. Just take good care of him for a few days, and he'll be fine."

"Really!"

"Lord Alchemist, for the great favor you have shown to the Nalan family, Nalan Su will never forget it. In the future, if you have any orders, the Nalan family will do its utmost!"

Looking at Nalan Jie's slightly radiant elderly face, the heavy burden on Nalan Su's heart finally lifted. The importance of Nalan Jie to the Nalan family was like the importance of Mo Cheng to the Mo family. Losing this pillar, although the Nalan family would not collapse, the gap with the other two major families would gradually widen.

Gu He did not respond; everything he did was solely for the disciple Nalan Yanran.

If something happened to Nalan Jie, this girl would definitely not be able to go out for training with peace of mind.

Gu He could only help her resolve this concern at once, even at the cost of a Longevity Bead.

Glancing at the sky outside, Gu He turned to Nalan Yanran and said, "Yanran, there are some matters I need to attend to. I'll be leaving now. You can return to the sect on your own later."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran nodded and said, "Teacher, let me escort you."

Gu He shook his head and said, "No need. You better take good care of your grandfather."

With that, Gu He left the Nalan residence.

...

Half an hour later.

Miteer Auction House.

VIP room.

"Hai Bo Dong, why are you here again? It hasn't been half a month since the last delivery. Do you think Sixth-grade Spirit Medicine is easy to come by?" In the VIP room, Hai Bo Dong frowned, sounding somewhat displeased.

His mention of "delivery" referred to their agreement: "Twenty plants of Sixth-grade Spirit Medicine in exchange for one Longevity Bead."

Two months had passed, and despite Hai Bo Dong instructing the Miteer family to purchase Sixth-grade Spirit Medicine with all their efforts, they had not yet gathered the required twenty plants.

"Hai, don't misunderstand. I didn't come this time for a delivery." Gu He lifted the teacup, took a sip, and spoke casually, seemingly unconcerned.

"If not for delivery, then why are you here? I have a lot of important matters to attend to, and I don't have time to waste with you here." Hai Bo Dong responded with a hint of impatience.

After several transactions, their relationship had become quite harmonious. However, Hai Bo Dong's tone was not particularly polite.

Gu He put down the teacup and smiled, "Hai, are you really so unwelcoming? This time, I'm here for an early delivery."

"Early delivery?" Hai Bo Dong was slightly puzzled. "What are you delivering?"

In the past, Hai Bo Dong was the one delivering to Gu He, not the other way around.

Without much explanation, Gu He took out a jade bottle from his spatial ring and tossed it to Hai Bo Dong. "Naturally, it's the Longevity Bead!"

Upon hearing the words "Longevity Bead," Hai Bo Dong's face twitched. He caught the jade bottle that Gu He threw and scolded, "Be careful, what if you break it?"

Afterward, Hai Bo Dong carefully opened the jade bottle, revealing a green spherical bead inside—the Longevity Bead.

As soon as the bottle was opened, a strong vitality surged out, causing Hai Bo Dong to be slightly shaken.

"Well deserved to be called the Longevity Bead. Just based on this vitality, it's extraordinary." Hai Bo Dong praised silently.

"Why are you still standing there, Hai? The sooner you consume it, the better the effect. If the vitality overflows, the effect will be greatly discounted." Unable to bear Hai Bo Dong's daze, Gu He reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Hai Bo Dong's expression tightened. He quickly spoke about the green spherical bead in the bottle and then unhesitatingly put it into his mouth.
