Master of Martial Arts, please enjoy a drunken revelry in the martial world.

"Congratulations, you guessed right. This treasure does indeed contain a deadly poison left behind by Emperor Liang Yuan."

He's no saint; he's keeping treasures for strangers to use.

I estimate that he intended to leave this treasure to his descendants for the purpose of restoring his kingdom.

The antidote for this deadly poison should also be in the hands of his descendants.

However, it is clear that his descendants did not obtain the treasure, which is why it has remained to this day.

And you became the first person in a thousand years to find this place, and also the first person to die from this poison.

Gu Qianbei said slowly.

"You knew all along that this treasure was poisoned? Why didn't you tell me?"

Ling Tuisi was both shocked and furious.

"Why should I tell you? Lord Ling, isn't our deal to split this treasure equally?"

But all you've told me is that you brought men here in the dead of night, perhaps intending to take the treasure home and split it with me?

Gu Qianbei mocked.

"You... what right do you have to talk to me like that! I don't think you ever intended to split it equally with me!"

Ling Tuisi was now suffering from severe poisoning, his body was in great pain, his eyes were bloodshot, and black blood was constantly flowing from the corner of his mouth, making him look quite horrifying.

"Congratulations, you got it right again. I was just kidding you."

A beast who would even betray his own daughter, does he deserve to cooperate with me?

Actually, I knew where the treasure was a long time ago, but I didn't touch it in order to lure you in.

You don't actually think I can't decipher the secrets of this Liancheng Sword Manual, do you?

"You...you..."

Ling Tuisi was furious with Gu Qianbei, and with the poison in his body, he had little strength left.

"Since you knew this place was poisonous, how dare you come in? Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you, I'm immune to all poisons."

The poison here has no effect on me.

Gu Qianbei smiled faintly.

"you!"

Ling Tuisi pointed at Gu Qianbei, and then fainted the next moment.

First, he was angry; second, the poison took effect.

At this point, he was beyond medical help and there was no way to save him.

Gu Qianbei shook his head slightly and said softly, "You've spent your whole life seeking treasure, and now you're dying in this gold and silver mountain. I guess you've had your fun."

Without lingering there, Gu Qianbei closed the door to the secret room and went straight back to the Ling family home to sleep.

The first half of the play is over, but the second half is still going to happen.

Tomorrow, have Ling Shuanghua and Ding Dian come and collect the body.

Today he marries Ling Shuanghua, and tomorrow he sees his father-in-law, whom he has always hated, dead. Ding Dian has enjoyed himself twice in two days, which can be considered as reaching the pinnacle of life.

Early the next morning.

Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua wanted to pay their respects to Ling Tuisi, but they couldn't find him anywhere.

Finally, Gu Qianbei gave them directions and led them to Tianning Temple.

"father!"

In the secret room, Ling Shuanghua held Ling Tuisi's body and wept bitterly.

Ding Dian looked around and felt his heart pounding.

What happened here yesterday?

Such a scene of hell on earth?

"Brother Gu, what exactly is going on?"

Ding Dian couldn't help but ask.

"It's very simple. Ling Tuisi deciphered the secret of the Liancheng Jue and then came here to find treasure."

Clearly, he and his men fought over the ownership of the treasure, and they all died in the end.

Ling Tuisi was also poisoned by the treasure, which caused him to vomit black blood.

"What? This treasure is poisoned?"

Ding Dian was shocked and quickly went forward to check on Ling Shuanghua's condition.

"Shuanghua, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ding Dian asked anxiously, but Ling Shuanghua was still immersed in the death of Ling Tuisi and had not come back to her senses.

Gu Qianbei then launched two golden needles, which pierced the acupoints of Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua.

"Don't worry, with me here, you won't die. This poison is terrifying, but I don't take it seriously."

I have sealed your meridians; you will not be poisoned for a while.

Ding Dian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He still believed in Gu Qianbei's methods.

After all, Gu Qianbei had never lied to him during the few days they had known each other.

"Collect their bodies, then I'll prepare to move the treasure here."

Brother Ding, you probably don't have much interest in these material possessions, do you?

Gu Qianbei laughed.

Ding Dian shook his head slightly.

"No matter how much gold and silver one has, it is just external possessions. I have never been interested in it."

Brother Gu, take it all if you want.

But I hope you can use it for good, and never for evil.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Finally, Ding Dian and Ling Shuanghua took Ling Tuisi's body away.

The bodies of the remaining people were left to Gu Qianbei to handle.

Gu Qianbei didn't hold back and used a lightning technique to send all the corpses to the afterlife.

As for the treasure, it was naturally placed into the Cangguang Gourd after the poison was neutralized.

With this, the matter of the Liancheng Treasure can be considered completely settled.

a few days later.

Another funeral was held in Jiangling City; the deceased was none other than Prefect Ling Tuisi.

The funeral was quite lively, attracting many people.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Jiangling City, a new tavern appeared, named Qianchou Si.

A young couple named Di Yun and Qi Fang arrived at Qianchousi.

"Brother Gu, are you really letting us manage this tavern?"

Di Yun looked around Qianchousi Market with great excitement.

"That's right. I think you're all honest people, so you probably won't embezzle my money."

Therefore, I intend to hand over the management of this newly opened Qianchou Si to you.

My Thousand Sorrows Dishes are distributed throughout the world and are quite famous, so you don't need to worry about sales.

Once it's up and running, people will come to place orders.

Oh, and I also have a secret manual here; you two can both take it and practice it.

If anyone comes here to cause trouble, just kick them out.

Don't be afraid of causing trouble; there's no one in this world I can't afford to offend.

Gu Qianbei smiled and took out a copy of the Divine Illumination Scripture from his pocket, handing it to Di Yun.

He naturally obtained the Divine Illumination Scripture from Ding Dian.

Ding Dian was very grateful to him, so he didn't hesitate to give him the Divine Illumination Scripture.

After all, he had received a tremendous benefit and was a grateful person; he wouldn't hesitate to repay Gu Qianbei if he could.

"Brother Gu, you not only give us jobs but also teach us martial arts. This kindness is too great, and we feel unworthy of it."

Di Yun felt a little embarrassed.

Gu Qianbei smiled and said, "This is the martial art of Tiegu Mo'e Mei Niansheng, and you are his grand-disciples, so it is naturally most suitable for you to learn this martial art."

However, you'd better not claim to be his grand-disciple to outsiders, otherwise, greedy people might come looking for you and cause unnecessary trouble.

In short, from now on you will be the owners of my Qianchousi Jiangling branch. Work hard, and you won't have to worry about getting married, buying a house, or having children—I'll take care of everything.

"Thank you, Brother Gu!"

Di Yun and Qi Fang were overjoyed upon hearing this and bowed repeatedly to express their gratitude.

"You're welcome. Just invite me to your wedding sometime."

Gu Qianbei laughed.
