Chapter 528: An Unexpected Success

Calling Gu Sheng, Lan Yao asked excitedly: "Gu Sheng, is this the Hundred Ghosts Grass you planted?"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment.

"Hundred Ghosts Grass? What is that?"

After he finished speaking, Lan Yao was also stunned.

"This, you have a lot of it in your yard, didn't you plant it?"

Leaning over to take a look, Gu Sheng shook his head: "I don't know, this is not planted by me, it grew by itself, only the herb that was carefully taken care of was planted by me."

Turning around to take a look, Lan Yao frowned slightly.

"You mean you planted the herbs everywhere, and these precious Hundred Ghost Grass grew naturally?"

"Precious? Is this thing very rare?"

"Of course! We elves have tried to plant it, but failed several times when dividing the petals. In the end, it grew into a single stem and has no value at all. Look at yours, although it is also a small one, but it has three petals, which is very valuable!"

"What about those?"

"Those too, some have two petals, some have three petals, and they are all very valuable. Are you sure you have never taken care of them and they all grew naturally?"

"Yes, I never took these things seriously, because these places are useless, so I let them grow. If they were useful, I would have removed them long ago."

Hearing this, Lan Yao stood up excitedly.

"That won't do! The value of this Hundred Ghost Grass is higher than the herbs in your entire yard. How can you remove it? Are you crazy?"

After he said that, Gu Sheng was a little amused.

"If you didn't tell me, I really didn't know what it was, and I would naturally think it was useless."

"Gu Sheng, you are really frustrating. I planted flowers with my heart, but they didn't bloom. You planted willows without intention, but you didn't recognize them. Fortunately, I came today, otherwise these ghost grasses would be a pity."

Touching the thin grass, Lan Yao asked softly: "Gu Sheng, now you know what it is, can you let me study it? Don't worry, I won't take any of them away. I just want to study it and see if I can cultivate the elves."

"Whatever, you can study it if you want, and you can study it however you want. It doesn't matter even if you dig it out and bring it back to the elves."

"Really?"

"Of course, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't get these herbs. You are their benefactor, so you naturally have the right to dispose of them."

"Then I won't be polite to you."

"Do friends need to be so polite? I've never heard of it. If you need it, I can even give you all of them. It doesn't matter."

Hearing Gu Sheng's words, Lan Yao was grateful.

"Gu Sheng, thank you."

"I remember that friends don't need to say thank you, right?"

Looking at his raised eyebrows, the blue monster couldn't help laughing.

"Yes, yes, you are right, I am too polite."

"I think so too, there is no need to be so polite between you and me."

The blue monster frowned and nodded to him with a smile.

He now feels more and more that it was right for him to stick to Gu Sheng at the beginning. If he couldn't be friends with such a good person, he would definitely regret it.

Fortunately, they have become friends and don't have to regret it anymore.

"Gu Sheng, I will stay with you for a while longer. You must take out all the good wine and food, don't hide them secretly."

"Whatever, you can stay here as long as you want, it's up to you, but good wine and good meat... let me think about it again."

After that, the two laughed together.

That night, the third elder led the people of Shitou Village to arrange a grand welcoming banquet for the elves and others.

Blue Monster didn't expect to be treated so well, and that night he and the unconscious person.

After he passed out, several elders came to Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng, now that you have the spirit pearl in your hand, do you want to refine it as soon as possible?"

After thinking about it, Gu Sheng nodded.

"Yes, it is indeed necessary to refine it as soon as possible."

"We have prepared a place for you, when do you plan to start?"

"Wait until Lan Yao leaves."

Hearing this, several elders disagreed.

"Gu Sheng, Lan Yao is not a stingy person. He is here, we can help you entertain him, but the spirit pearl in your hand can't wait. You will return from Nanshan, and the news of getting the spirit pearl will soon spread. If someone comes to your door and really takes the spirit pearl, your previous efforts will be in vain."

"Don't worry, the people in Nanshan don't know that I took the spirit pearl."

"They don't know now, but once someone has doubts and chases you to Shitou Village, it will be hard to say."

"The third elder is right. Now is the best time to refine the spirit pearl. Otherwise, if someone becomes suspicious and chases you here, it will be bad. Gu Sheng, it's not easy for you to get the spirit pearl. If you really lose it, you can never find it again."

Several elders took turns to persuade him, and Gu Sheng began to seriously consider this matter.

After thinking again and again, he turned his head and looked at Lan Yao.

Seeing his eyes, several elders knew what he was thinking, and immediately said that they would help him take care of Lan Yao and persuade him to refine the spirit pearl as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, Gu Sheng finally nodded.

"Don't worry, elders. I will start refining the spirit beads tomorrow morning."

Finally getting his answer, the elders breathed a sigh of relief.

"You don't have to worry too much about the elves. We will entertain them."

"Okay, I'll trouble you elders, but you don't have to spend too much time on Lan Yao. He found the Hundred Poison Grass in my yard. He should be focusing on it these days. Don't arrange any itinerary for him."

"We understand. Just go ahead."

Gu Sheng agreed, but he still went to Lan Yao's place in the early morning.

When he heard the footsteps, Lan Yao woke up immediately. When he saw that it was Gu Sheng, he lay down lazily again.

"Gu Sheng, this room is not as comfortable as yours. I'll move to your place tonight."

"Okay, you can sleep at my place for the next few days."

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, I won't be here these few days. You can use my things as you like."

Hearing this, Lan Yao got up.

"You're not here? What do you mean, you're going out?"

"No, but I have to refine the spirit beads. I wanted to accompany you for a few days, but the elders are really urging me. I have no choice but to agree."

Knowing what he was going to do, Lan Yao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Gu Sheng, the elders are right. It's not safe to keep the spirit pearl around for a long time. It's better to refine it early. Just refine it. I'll stay here to study the poison grass. Maybe I can wait for you to come back."

"You stay here. The elders will entertain you."

"It's okay. I don't consider myself an outsider. Your whole yard belongs to me. It doesn't matter whether there is anyone to entertain you. You don't have to be distracted by my affairs. Just concentrate on refining the spirit pearl."

Gu Sheng smiled and nodded. He chatted with him for a while before leaving.

On the way, he happened to meet Ergou and Shilou.

When they saw him, their eyes lit up.

"Brother Sheng, are you here to protect us?"

"Huangshan and the others will protect you."

"What about you? Aren't you here to protect us?"

"I'm here to refine the spirit pearl."

Hearing this, Ergou's eyes turned and he came forward.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Brother Sheng, when you refine the spirit pearl, there should be spiritual energy leaking out, right? Can we absorb some?"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng slapped him on the back of his head.

"Focus on your breakthrough, don't think about those messy things. You haven't made a breakthrough for a long time, and now you can finally make a breakthrough. Once you are distracted, it will backfire on you. Collect your thoughts, otherwise I won't forgive you."

Holding the back of his head, Ergou looked at him pitifully.

"Brother Sheng, I'm just joking."

"The matter is urgent, are you kidding me? Believe it or not, I will knock your head open now to see what's inside."

Gu Sheng pretended to knock it down, and Ergou ran away holding his head.

Looking at his back, Gu Sheng and Shi Lou couldn't help laughing.

Half an hour later, Gu Sheng came to the place arranged by the third elder, solemnly took out the spirit pearl, and held it in his mouth.

In an instant, the spiritual energy of the spirit bead suddenly appeared and soon filled the entire stone village.

Gu Sheng mobilized the energy of his dantian to cover the entire room, and no more spiritual energy would leak out.

After making preparations, Gu Sheng absorbed the spiritual energy released by the spirit bead into his body bit by bit.

At this time, everyone in the stone village stopped and quietly absorbed the spiritual energy leaked from Gu Sheng.

Until the last wisp of spiritual energy disappeared, everyone exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

The third elder led people to Gu Sheng, and several elders sat on the ground to protect Gu Sheng.

Seven days later, Gu Sheng had absorbed half of the hundred-year spiritual power in the spirit bead. He took all the spiritual power for himself, and his meridians suddenly increased, and even his dantian was more than one circle larger than before.

The spiritual energy was still entering his body continuously, and Gu Sheng could clearly feel that these spiritual powers seemed to reshape his muscles and bones.

While Gu Sheng was concentrating on refining the spirit bead, Lan Yao had been fiddling with the hundred poison grass.

After a week, he finally found some tricks. He was so happy that he wiped the dirt off his face and laughed out loud.

At this time, his men suddenly ran over and said with a pale face: "Young Master, someone is attacking outside."

Hearing this, Lan Yao frowned.

"Someone is attacking? Who?"

"I don't know, I can't feel the breath of the other party, but..."

Seeing him hesitating, Lan Yao's brows tightened a little more.

"But what? If you have something to say, just say it!"

"But the strong men of Shitou Village are all guarding Gu Sheng. Now Shitou Village is unguarded. Those people have been exploring the edge. Once they find that there is no one guarding here, they may attack directly."

Hearing this, Lan Yao's heart immediately lifted.

He and his men have been studying the Hundred Poison Grass in Gu Sheng's yard, and they don't know the situation outside. Now that he knows that Shitou Village is unguarded, his mood immediately becomes nervous.

"Is there no one outside?"

"There are people, but no strong ones. They don't look like they are the opponents of those people."

Knowing this, Lan Yao quickly led the elves to the edge.

Sure enough, there were people sneaking forward at the edge, as if they had noticed that there was no one here. They were very fast. If he hadn't arrived in time, they would have attacked the Stone Village at one o'clock in the evening!

Gathering his own people to block the other side's way, Lan Yao waved his right hand, and a green long sword immediately appeared in his hand.

As his divine power fluctuated, the green long sword faintly glowed with green light, which inexplicably brought a sense of oppression to people.

"Who dares to break into the Stone Village! Come out and meet me!"

After saying that, he swung the green sword in his hand forward with force, and the sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the sneaky people were hit back again and again.

Seeing the figure, Lan Yao's footsteps approached again.

"Who on earth dared to come to the Stone Village to cause trouble!"

Seeing Lan Yao approaching, the man subconsciously covered his face with his hands.

However, Lan Yao did not look at his face, but instead looked at the token on his waist.

After taking a closer look, he had a cold smile on his face.

"Zhang Ping, the leader of the Black Evil Sect? I didn't expect you to dare to find this place!"

Hearing him call out his name accurately, Zhang Ping was shocked and his eyes widened.

"Lan Yao, we, the Black Demon Sect, have never had any grudges against the elves. Why do you keep going against me?"

"You and I have no grudges, but you want to target Gu Sheng, so this has something to do with me!"

"What does it have to do with you? You and Gu Sheng have only met a few times, so why do you help him everywhere? Lan Yao, I don't want to make enemies with you. If you don't want to get into trouble, I advise you to pretend you didn't see it, otherwise I won't let you go after I kill Gu Sheng!"

Hearing Zhang Ping's harsh words, Lan Yao sneered.

At this time, he rolled his eyes and sneered, "Gu Sheng has been killed by your rocks. How do you want to take his life? Are you going to kill him again in the King of Hell?"

"You are talking nonsense! Gu Sheng is fine!"

"Zhang Ping, you said that Gu Sheng was dead, but now you deny it. Who is talking nonsense!"

"I said that before. I really thought that Gu Sheng was killed by rocks. Later, I thought it was wrong. After everyone dispersed, I went to the place where he died. There was only a pile of rocks. After digging them apart, there was no body, not even a drop of blood. How could he die there? He obviously stole the spirit pearl and ran away! The fact that you are here proves that he is back alive, right?"

Hearing his words, Lan Yao curled his lips.

He thought Zhang Ping was a fool, but now it seems that he is smarter than he thought.

"You didn't find Gu Sheng's body there, so you came here? You want the spirit pearl?"

"Yes! I want the spirit pearl! Lan Yao, now the news has spread, there are countless people who want Gu Sheng's life, even if it's not me, it will be someone else. Now he is standing on the opposite side of the entire martial arts world. If you don't want to be implicated by him, leave now!"

Seeing his smug look, Lan Yao took another step forward.

"I tell you, the friendship between me and Gu Sheng is not something you can provoke with a few words. If you want to kill Gu Sheng, you have to get past me first!" (End of this chapter)
