Chapter 681: Parting Ways
Seeing this, Mo Mang Xuanxian felt that his resurrection wasn't entirely without gain.
At least, he personally witnessed just how extraordinary the Body of Ten Thousand Difficulties could become after breaking through the Body of Incompetence.
No matter how much it's described in ancient books, nothing is more awe-inspiring than seeing it with one's own eyes. How far this human boy will grow in the future is truly something to look forward to...
"Thank you!"
Wu Zhu was so excited that he knelt down on the spot!
This leap to immortality, this rapid advancement, brought Wu Zhu an urge to burst into tears.
He longed to roar to the heavens and express his excitement and ecstasy! However, he hadn't forgotten his business.
Gu Heng must have seen his physical talent, which is why he gave him the "healing pill" whose medicinal power has not yet been completely exhausted, and helped him pass through the four killing array traps set by Mo Mang Xuanxian, successfully overcoming the physical difficulties!
This is part of the plan!
What an amazing person who has such discerning eyes!
At first, Wu Zhu didn't even think that Gu Heng was any special person. He thought he was just an ordinary cultivator who was passing by. But he never expected that Gu Heng would become the most important benefactor in his life!
He solemnly said to Gu Heng, "Senior saved my life, and I am deeply grateful. I will never forget your kindness today. When I achieve the Body of Ten Thousand Difficulties, I will repay your kindness!"
As expected of someone from a prominent family who lived a relatively comfortable life, this young master lacked any overbearing or arrogant airs. His words were both beautiful and pleasant to hear. At least Gu Heng found them rather agreeable, but he still felt so embarrassed he wanted to curl his toes.
He hadn't really done anything; he'd just given Wu Zhu a pill. It wasn't a debt of gratitude he could never repay. He'd never expected that Wu Zhu's talent required him to be beaten to become stronger. It was truly a case of blind luck.
Wu Zhu's agitation made Gu Heng feel somewhat embarrassed.
But there's no way he can say, "I thought you were a nobody, but I never expected to find such a top talent."
That's such a mood killer.
This could hurt Wu Zhu's feelings, and it could also damage his own "superior demeanor".
Since Wu Zhu thinks he's a discerning expert, let's continue to think so. Say a few more things he likes to hear, just like a little spice in life.
"Haha, you're too kind. It was nothing, not worth mentioning." Gu Heng waved his hand with a smile, indicating that he didn't care about such trivial matters.
It was indeed a small matter; he still had several thousand of the pills he had given away in his system inventory.
Don't ask, the answer is simple: I'm afraid of death, and I need plenty of medicine!
"For the senior, this was just a small favor, but for the junior, such a great kindness is something that can never be repaid in three lifetimes!"
That's a really nice way to talk; you're quite talented!
Gu Heng also took the opportunity to scan Wu Zhu again with his "omniscient perspective," and sure enough, this time Wu Zhu's information included a new text: "Future potential: High"!
The system probably felt that Wu Zhu hadn't realized his potential before, or even that he had no chance of realizing it.
The system is the true mastermind; it never makes mistakes.
Unless, he intervened.
After the initial excitement, the atmosphere in the tomb gradually cooled down.
"Uh, sir, considering that I also contributed a little to making this young man stronger, could you spare my life?"
"Immortal Desert Python asked awkwardly."
"...What do you think?"
Gu Heng didn't really have any objections to this, after all, there was no deep-seated hatred between them, and whether the snake demon lived or died was none of his business. He had important matters to attend to, so he passed the buck to Wu Zhu.
Wu Zhu pondered for a moment.
Mo Mang Xuanxian clearly had bad intentions but did good deeds; he was essentially evil. However, without him, it seems there would have been no chance to discover his hidden constitution.
Wu Zhu took a deep breath and made a decision: "Senior Mo Mang, would you be interested in following me?"
Mo Mang Xuanxian glanced at Wu Zhu, then at Gu Heng, seemingly waiting for Gu Heng to make a decision. Gu Heng shrugged.
"Alright, I've been reborn. If I can stay by the side of someone with an infinitely potential, a body of unparalleled strength, then this life will not have been in vain."
Mo Mang Xuanxian was also straightforward; as long as he could survive this way, he immediately agreed.
Thus, it's a happy ending for everyone.
As for those rogue cultivators outside who fight to the death to obtain the "opportunity" of the Desert Python Immortal?
It's long been forgotten.
Opportunities do exist, but they are only for those who are destined to receive them.
Unfortunately, Wu Zhu was the one destined for it; for everyone else, it was all for naught.
……
With the departure of the Desert Python Immortal, the sand palace built with his power immediately collapsed. At the edge of this desert and Gobi, Gu Heng parted ways with Wu Zhu and the Desert Python Immortal.
Their destination was Wu Zhu's clan. That kid had gotten a stroke of luck and his strength had skyrocketed. Now he couldn't wait to jump right onto someone's face and show off. He was indeed a young man who had to be arrogant.
But Gu Heng was frustrated.
Despite being a young man, he couldn't act arrogantly at all. The root cause was that the system in the trench was secretly playing dirty tricks.
He could only watch as Wu Zhu soared into the sky before his eyes and flew away gracefully.
He was clearly stronger than Wu Zhu and Mo Mang Xuanxian, but in the end he still had to walk to his destination.
No matter how sweet or pleasant other people's words may be, only you know the bitterness in your heart!
Gu Heng sighed and started walking towards the location of Qingliu Manor.
According to the scouts, those four girls are currently guests at Qingliu Manor, and they seem to have made a name for themselves there.
Hopefully, the bounty placed on them by the Ancient Immortal Venerable has not affected them yet.
……
Wu Zhu returned to the Wu clan.
As soon as he entered the gate, he couldn't wait to shout, "Everyone come out here! Young Master Wu has barged back!"
"Fourth brother, fifth brother, and sixth brother!"
"Come and see what your third brother is capable of!"
This is the moment he's been waiting for!
With the Qiankun Treasure Bag of the Desert Python Immortal and his own Golden Immortal cultivation, wouldn't those brats be so shocked that their eyes would pop out of their sockets?
But after that shout, the entire clan fell silent. Wu Zhu stood there, his face slowly turning awkward. "..."
"It looks like... nobody's home."
After a while, Wu Zhu scratched his head, trying to come up with a less awkward excuse for himself.
The brown sand snake coiled around his neck flicked its tongue, its silence the sharpest blade.
"Third Young Master, you're back."
However, there were still people in the clan. The one who came to see Wu Zhu was his personal maid, Xiao Zhu.
"Little Candle, where have they all gone?"
"The clan leader and several other young masters received invitations from the Ghost Sword Immortal and went to participate in the Sword Challenge. The clan leader also said that after you return, you shouldn't go there anymore, as it's time to collect tribute, and he wants you to go down and collect it..."
Xiao Zhu spoke softly, seemingly afraid of upsetting the seemingly carefree but actually very sensitive Third Young Master. Her Third Young Master was far too fragile!
"Okay, okay, so you want to play like this? It's fine, we'll talk about it when they get back."
Wu Zhu almost ground his back teeth to powder, but then he thought that he could still show off when they came back.
Besides, someone has to do the work of accepting tributes from subordinates, right?
So Wu Zhu set off again, looking miserable...
