After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 133 Seeking each other
Thank you all, and I wish you all well. I look forward to the day we meet again.

Liu Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd, then watched them leave.

The woman in white and her companion witnessed this scene and were deeply moved.

"Qingxiu, this must be the most rewarding experience we've had so far," the white-robed male cultivator said, turning his head slightly.

Gu Qingxiu nodded, "Yes, that's true."

In terms of literal gains, we gained almost nothing this time.

But in terms of significance, this is undoubtedly the most special one.

Compared to the frequent killings and assassinations I've seen before, this time there was a touch of warmth, which is so rare among strangers.

"Gentlemen, let's go." Liu Feng looked at them.

"it is good."

After flying over the deserted outskirts of the city in a flying boat, another city came into view – this was Snow City.

After stopping in front of the city and handing over the crossing crystals, the group entered Snow City.

"Snow City is a food paradise. Of all the places I've been, it ranks in the top three when it comes to food," Gu Qingxiu said with a smile. "Jiuwei should like it."

She overheard Chen Lan and Mo Jiuwei talking along the way, and that's how she learned her name.

Mo Jiuwei's eyes lit up.

[Top three! Looking forward to it!]

I want to try them all!

She was really tempted, and clapped her hands loudly, "Eat!"

Since I don't have anything important to do right now, I might as well indulge my appetite.

Guided by Gu Qingxiu, they first bought pear-flavored yogurt from a pastry shop, along with several local specialty candied fruits and rice cakes.

With these items in hand, the group entered the restaurant.

"Please speak frankly, both of you."

After taking his seat, Liu Feng spoke calmly.

These two clearly had something to discuss with them; buying snacks was just an excuse.

However, Liu Feng could tell that they were truly capable and didn't seem to have any ill intentions. He could guess this from Jiu Wei's relaxed and carefree reaction throughout.

So I didn't object and have followed them all this time, just to see what they were trying to say.

“We are the Gu family of Nanshan. I am Gu Qingxiu, the tenth child in the family. This is my twin brother, Gu Mingyu, the ninth child.” Gu Qingxiu spoke, taking out a sachet from her waist as she spoke. “This is our Gu family token. Please check it.”

"The Gu family of Nanshan? The Gu family, the family of poison masters?" Du Yue asked in astonishment.

No one in this world is unaware of the Gu family, but the Gu family members rarely show their faces and keep a low profile. Compared to their domineering poisons, their presence is extremely minimal.

Du Yue never expected that she would actually meet a member of the Gu family!
Furthermore, Gu Qingxiu mentioned their birth order in the family, which is enough to show that they are direct descendants of the Gu family, and not some distant relative from a collateral branch.

This made Du Yue both excited and scared—

The principles of toxicology are also part of the principles of alchemy, and the Gu family is undoubtedly a master of poisons in this era. Even a few poisons they casually sell can cause a stir in the cultivation world, and those poisons that don't easily circulate are both mysterious and powerful. Du Yue doesn't know how to make poisons, but she wants to learn, because poison can not only harm others but also protect oneself.

Now that they've met the Gu family, who are the most skilled at producing drugs, they're naturally excited.

As for fear, that's only natural, given how potent their poison is!
If they could, probably no cultivator would want to get close to the Gu family.

“That’s right.” Gu Mingyu nodded, then immediately explained, “Please don’t worry, my brother and I have no ill intentions towards you. Moreover, the Gu family has strict rules, and no member of the family is allowed to use poison to harm others.”

"Of course! The Gu family has always been a target of public criticism; they were almost wiped out by a coalition of major families! Now they're barely maintaining peace in a remote corner, so naturally they have to behave themselves and dare not cause trouble."

The tallest tree catches the most wind; the Gu family was once too arrogant, no wonder they were targeted.

Mo Jiuwei happily ate her food, while Yi Xingyun and Chen Lan, who were sitting next to her, very conscientiously fed her, one bite from each of them, and she simply couldn't stop.

Ah, life is so joyful.

Liu Feng's eyes flashed, and he nodded. "Yes, I believe you mean no harm, otherwise I wouldn't have come here with you. I just don't know what your purpose is..."

“We…have something to ask.” Gu Qingxiu glanced at Gu Mingyu, and the two of them stood up one after the other, walked out of their seats, and then bowed to Liu Feng and the others at the same time.

"What do you mean by this?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion.

"Please, senior, take Jiuwei to the Gu family and save our sacred beast!" the two said, their faces filled with sorrow.

"A sacred beast?" Hu Jiu asked in confusion.

"Related to Jiuwei?" Chen Lan frowned. "Could it be because of... the Black God Spirit Fire?"

For them, there seems to be no other reason besides this one that would require the use of Jiuwei.

“Exactly.” The two nodded.

Liu Feng glanced at Mo Jiuwei, who was eating while blinking at the brother and sister, showing no sign of rejection.

"Please have a seat, explain the situation clearly, and I will consider it," Liu Feng said.

Seeing that he didn't refuse outright, the two breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.

"The sacred beast is the greatest contributor to the prosperity of our Gu family. It has existed since the time of our ancestor. When our ancestor first learned about poisons, he needed to test and taste a lot of poisons. In addition to using himself as a test subject, the sacred beast was the other one who accompanied him through these experiences," Gu Mingyu said slowly.

The ancestor of the Gu family was named Gu Su. He was a rogue cultivator who had neither crystals nor a powerful background.

It was because of the hardship of life, sometimes not knowing where the next meal would come from, that she was kidnapped by a rogue poison master when she was young, and from then on she learned how to make poison.

That poison master's temperament was unpredictable. When he was in a good mood, he would buy his apprentices delicious food and rarely showed a smile. When he was in a bad mood, he would beat and scold them, and would even use his apprentices as guinea pigs to test his drugs.

The hardships Gu Su endured in his youth are well-known, and in that environment he grew into a taciturn and gloomy poison master.

But he also knew that he had no other way to go but to become a poison master. At least he could eat his fill and protect himself by doing this, which was much better than other orphaned rogue cultivators.

Once, while gathering herbs, he accidentally encountered a severely injured young beast, the Hunyuan Monkey.

The weak, helpless, and familyless Hunyuan monkey reminded Gu Su of his own loneliness. Perhaps out of loneliness or sympathy, he rescued the Hunyuan monkey and took it back with him.

This angered his master again, and he was severely beaten for not being ambitious and having the leisure to raise pet beasts.

But Gu Su managed to keep Hunyuan Monkey alive. He would share his food with it and even talked to it, confiding his sorrows to it.
