Chapter 83 Goodbye Gu Hong

Gu Hong put down the book in her hand, stood up and said: "Please follow me, distinguished guest." She was calm as usual and took Li An into the inner hall. Although he was more confident in Gu Hong, Li An's spiritual sense was still fully open, carefully sensing the surroundings. There were no preset traps, formations, etc. Gu Hong directly took Li An into her boudoir and closed the door. "Li..." She turned around, her eyes were already full of excitement and joy that could not be suppressed. Just as she was about to speak, Li An made a gesture to silence her, and then quickly laid two magic arrays. One of them can weaken the transmission of sound, so that the sound in this room cannot be transmitted to the outside world. Of course, this is only a high-level formation, which cannot block the detection of spiritual sense, so there is also a thunder talisman hidden in this formation! - In these years, Li An has bought five talismans in the city, two thunder talismans and three explosion talismans. These things are also done openly. The more so, the more people cannot connect him with the talisman master Li An. The other is a killing formation. After doing all this, Li An turned around and looked at Gu Hong and smiled, "Gu Daoyou, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope you're doing well!"

Gu Hong's eyes were filled with long-lost joy, as if she had a thousand words to say, but in the end she just smiled and said:

"I hope you're doing well."

The two sat down and told each other about their experiences over the years.

Similar to what Li An had heard, Gu Hong brought her master to Baihu City to seek refuge with her senior brother Zhang Deyi, wanting to ask Zhang Deyi to help find the medicine for Xiao Huan Dan.

But to their surprise, Zhang Deyi seemed to have become a different person. He only met them once, coldly rejected her request, and then drove them out.

Gu Hong had no choice but to stay in the city with her master.

Originally, with Gu Hong and Gu Songxi's abilities, they could have lived a good life in the city, but they were targeted everywhere, as if someone was deliberately trying to drive them away.

In order to avoid direct conflict with Zhang Deyi, Gu Hong and Master have been patient over the years, and have deliberately avoided competition with Zhang Deyi in business.

"Brother was kind-hearted and generous in the past, alas..."

Gu Hong sighed softly.

"The human heart is the most difficult to predict."

Li An also spoke, but remembered that his second-grade incomplete inheritance was discovered.

According to Gu Hong's description... Zhang Deyi's contrast before and after is very big!

"Has he been possessed by someone?" This thought flashed through Li An's mind.

It has to be said that this is very likely.

His alchemy attainments have advanced by leaps and bounds, his knowledge is extraordinary, and he is extremely repulsive to his former acquaintances...

Li An also has a deep understanding of possession.

Generally speaking, after possession, the original owner's soul will not die immediately.

Instead, it will remain in the body and its living space will be constantly squeezed.

In the process of this game struggle, if someone or something that the original owner cares about appears, it may arouse the original owner's soul's strong fighting spirit and unwillingness, thus affecting the stability of the possessor.

If this is true, then everything can be explained.

Zhang Deyi must be very repulsive to Gu Hong and his disciples, and he doesn't want to see them, so he will mobilize his power and connections in the city to suppress Gu Hong and his disciples, and want to drive them out.

Even before, there was a rumor that there was a big man in Baihu Mountain who didn't like Gu Hong and his disciples, so all parties didn't dare to ask them to make pills.

The source of all this should be Zhang Deyi.

Even Li An had concerns, so he just regarded Gu Hong and them as backup options.

If Luo Yong hadn't turned against him, Li An might have really asked Zhang Deyi to make pills.

But Gu Hong survived in the city tenaciously in order to raise Xiao Huan Dan medicine for her master, and Zhang Deyi couldn't kill them all. If Gu Hong and his disciples died or something happened, the original owner's soul would also struggle violently.

It's a case of being afraid of the consequences.

I had to pretend not to see it.

These thoughts flashed through Li An's mind, but he didn't say a word.

Gu Hong and her master were only foundation-building practitioners, and they were not yet at this level. Talking about it would only add to their troubles.

He also briefly told Gu Hong about his experience, and only told Gu Hong that he was out when the Demon Cult attacked the market, and then he hid in the Quyue Valley to practice for many years. Later, after the Zhao family was in trouble, he came directly to Baihu City.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Li, you said in the letter that you need my master to help you refine the foundation-building pill. Have you gathered the materials for the foundation-building pill?"

Gu Hong asked, and took out a few second-grade spiritual medicines, "I have collected some over the years, but I have never found a good quality Yuanhun crystal core or purple soul grass. However, Brother Li should have prepared it himself?"

Seeing this, Li An couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart. Gu Hong obviously took his affairs to heart and even raised the foundation-building materials for him.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Gu, but it's not necessary. I've prepared everything."

Li An said, "How is Master Gu Dan's health?"

"He has been recuperating and accumulating strength in the past few years, just to refine the foundation-building pill for you."

Gu Hong smiled sweetly: "After all, he still hopes that you can help him purify the Yuanhun crystal core after you quickly build the foundation."

--Li An came to Gu Hong four years ago and gave Gu Hong a Yuanhun crystal core and a letter.

The letter said that he had come to Baihu City and was planning to build the foundation.

And the Yuanhun crystal core contained a layer of gray death energy that could not be removed. Li An explained in the letter that he had found a way, but it needed to be successfully built before it could be purified.

So, Gu Songxi has been waiting all these years.

This is also Li An's bargaining chip. The gray death energy comes from the life seed, and only Li An can solve it!

Li An said, "I've kept Master Gu Dan waiting for a long time."

Gu Hong said, "In that case, let's go find him now without further delay."

"By the way, I didn't tell Master your identity. I only told him that helping you refine the foundation-building pill is also a reward for the Yuanhun beast crystal core. You don't have to tell him your true identity."

Li An was slightly moved. Gu Hong really considered him everywhere. In order to prevent his whereabouts from being leaked, she even chose to hide it from Master.

...

Immediately, the two turned around and left. Li An put away the two formations on the way.

Turning around the corner of the corridor, they entered a quiet secret room. The furnishings in the secret room were simple. There was nothing else, only a cushion. On the cushion, an old man with gray hair and beard was meditating and recuperating. It was Gu Songxi.

After not seeing him for many years, he looked even older.

"Master, the Taoist friend who wanted to ask you to refine the foundation-building pill is here."

Gu Hong spoke. Gu Songxi opened his eyes and looked at Li An. A trace of scrutiny flashed in his old eyes. He then stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your generosity in giving me medicine, which has allowed me to prolong my life. I am grateful!"

He bowed slightly.

Li An returned the bow and said: "Yuan has to thank Master Gu Dan for his help!"

Gu Songxi said: "Fellow Taoist Yuan, you don't have to be polite. Have you brought all the herbs? We can start now!"

His old eyes were full of expectations!
