Chapter 53: Putting Gu
"This is natural. Master Jin, feel free to mention it and I will continue."
Long Xuan had already prepared that the price would be very high, but this time, even if the price was much higher than the normal price, he was prepared to win it without hesitation.
"No rush, let's drink first, drink."
Master Jin still had that smiling look, and sincerely wanted to sway Long Xuan's appetite, he also took back the thousand-year ice marrow that was about to become ten thousand-year ice marrow.
The two had been talking for so long, and Master Jin's disciples finally started to serve the dishes.
His disciples brought out various delicious meat dishes one after another, as well as fine wine. Of course, compared to Long Xuan's wine, it was completely rubbish.
Although the food was rich, Long Xuan had already eaten at Qian's Restaurant, and he still had no appetite.
He wished he could take the Millennium Ice Essence and turn around and leave right now. He had no intention of eating or drinking.
But he couldn't show a very eager look, otherwise it would give Master Jin the opportunity to offer a high price.
He could only suppress his eagerness and finish the meal before talking about it.
"Haha, come and try this dish. This is the meat of a fourth-grade spiritual beast. It is a prey that only King Gu can hunt. The price is ridiculously high. If I didn't hit it off with my little friend, I wouldn't be willing to eat it."
Master Jin pointed to the hardest meat dish in the middle of the table, then picked up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth in front of Long Xuan.
Seeing him eat it with his own eyes, Long Xuan also picked up the chopsticks, preparing to suppress the discomfort in his stomach and give Master Jin a face.
However, just as he reached for the dish with his chopsticks, his arm suddenly froze.
It was completely because he had long been frightened by the various unpreventable poisoning methods in this world, so he developed the habit of looking at everything he ate with the eye of heaven.
So what if Master Jin has tasted it himself? Even in Qian's Restaurant, which has an absolutely guaranteed reputation, he would use his divine eye to confirm that there was nothing wrong before using his chopsticks.
He just used the Eye of Heaven to scan subconsciously, and he had already developed this habit as a conditioned reflex. Even if he didn't give an order, the Eye of Heaven would form muscle memory and take a glance.
Unexpectedly, I discovered a problem at this glance. There were bugs crawling in the dish. The bugs were so small that they were difficult to see without magnification.
Long Xuan broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, Tian Linggai felt cold, and he felt a sense of fear in his heart.
What does Master Jin want to do? How could there be insects in the vegetables?
Whether it was intentional or not, today’s meal couldn’t be a Hongmen Banquet, right?
What a good Master Jin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, always smiling. He laughs loudly before saying anything. He is kind and generous. This guy is just a smiley man. I am afraid that today’s dish will not be good.
Long Xuan had to be grateful that he had the eye of heaven, otherwise he might really have fallen into trouble today. This Master Jin was so kind. Who would have thought that there would be another face hidden under his smiling face, even if he was... This kind face was deceived.
Although Long Xuan's heart was already in turmoil and his hair stood on end, his expression remained calm. He changed the direction of his chopsticks and picked up the vegetarian dishes on the side.
He was about to say that he was vegetarian and wanted to eat some vegetarian food, but before he could put down his chopsticks, his arms stopped in mid-air.
This vegetarian dish actually also contains insects, and the amount is increased.
Long Xuan once again looked at the rest of the dishes, including the wine. Good guy, all of them had worms.
Master Jin, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is really too bad. I wonder if this is a banquet for all insects. Is he throwing all his insects into the vegetable?
Long Xuan awkwardly stopped his chopsticks in mid-air, not daring to touch any dish.
This Master Jin did an incredible job, leaving no way for him to survive. What could he do? He could only take back his chopsticks in embarrassment and said with a dry smile: "I'm really sorry, I need to pee. I'll go outside for a while first."
"I'll be back in a minute. When I come back, I'll have a long chat with Master Jin. I'll stop after I get drunk."
After saying that, Long Xuan got up and walked out of the cave, preparing to make a desperate escape.
However, how could things end so easily? Before Long Xuan could take a few steps, the formation under his feet had already been activated. A circular transparent barrier rose up, firmly encompassing the hall, and he almost hit him head-on. On the enchantment.
Long Xuan's face changed slightly, he looked back at Master Jin and pretended to be confused: "Master Jin, what does this mean?"
Master Jin still had the smile on his face, but at this time he had already walked out of the barrier with the array in hand, leaving only Long Xuan in the barrier.
At this time, Master Jin finally stopped pretending and said with a smile: "Although I don't know how you found out that there was poison in the food and wine, I'm afraid it's too much to think of leaving so easily."
"This is my home court, and there are formations controlled by me everywhere. Even if you are not poisoned, you will not escape death today."
Long Xuan had already discovered that his Eye of Heaven had the ability to break the formation, so he was not worried about being trapped in the formation. Instead, he asked calmly: "I don't know when I have offended Master Jin. Can you please Express!"
Master Jin said with an undiminished smile: "Haha! Why do you need to offend someone in the Gu world? There are a few who will offend others when they are idle. It is the original sin for a weak person to control wealth."
"Thousand-year-old ice marrow is a priceless treasure. It costs hundreds of millions when converted into spiritual stones. If you keep collecting this kind of stuff, aren't you telling others that you have a net worth of hundreds of millions? Do you really think that I, a weapon refiner, can't even refine weapons?" You can’t even recognize the materials! Do you still need to identify the authenticity?”
"So that's the reason! No wonder." Long Xuan nodded. The reason was really unexplainable. He had to collect the thousand-year ice marrow. Could he not collect it for fear of causing trouble? Can I stop practicing the Ice Divine Flame?
He didn't do anything wrong, it's just that there are some things you are destined to not be able to avoid.
"Master! Now that he is trapped in the formation, let's release poison gas to kill him! The last time we killed the casual cultivator named Feng, we used poison gas soldiers to take him down without bloodshed."
The one who spoke was the young man who had just received Long Xuan at the door. At this time, he no longer looked respectful as before.
From what he meant, Master Jin was obviously a habitual offender. This was not the first time he had done something like this. It was unknown how many casual cultivators were deceived into the cave by him and then tricked and killed by him.
No wonder he often gives out communication charms to wealthy people every time he holds Yibao meeting, saying that it facilitates private transactions. It turns out that this is the reason. No wonder, Long Xuan knows it in his heart.
"No need, he has a little powerful Gu. That thing is incredible. Most methods can't kill him at all. Poison will never be able to do anything to him."
"I'm going to let the Gu worms eat him up. I don't believe that the little strong Gu can still survive if he turns into a pile of minced meat."
Master Jin sneered, opened the insect breeding bag, and put three fierce-looking Gu insects into the formation.
