Chapter 87: She was adopted by me
Chapter 87: She was adopted by me
A man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure.
Even though Gu Heng had so much gold in his hands, he didn't have to worry that much, because to a cultivator, the gold, silver and money of mortals were like trash, so he didn't have to worry about being targeted. If he was really targeted, then he would be unlucky.
But spirit stones are different.
Two hundred thousand spirit stones... Gu Heng didn't even dare to imagine how many cultivators with ulterior motives this would attract.
If any word of it gets out, we're doomed!
He didn't want to ruin his good life because of taking these spirit stones and ending up with a mutilated body.
Moreover, this golden spirit liquid is sold to mortals. From the beginning, it was decided to make money from mortals. Why would cultivators buy it? Buying a few hundred bottles and taking them home for a bath may have some beauty effects, but it cannot heal injuries at all.
Chairman Shang brought 200,000 spirit stones over here, saying he wanted to sell the Golden Spirit Liquid to them. He also said that the value of the Golden Spirit Liquid was very high, far beyond the value of gold...
Isn't it obvious that there is something fishy going on?
Gu Heng knew exactly how valuable the potion he made was. Why did he need Shang Xiong, an "outsider", to tell him?
A sentence.
This guy must have a conspiracy!
Shang Xiong did not seem to expect Gu Heng to reject him so quickly. He could not help but widen his eyes and shouted angrily: "Boy, do you know what this means?"
"I know. It's a spirit stone."
Gu Heng glanced at him coldly, "But I don't want it."
He knows clearly what to take and what not to take.
He might be able to deal with one or two lone low-level monks, but what if there were more than ten or twenty of them rushing towards him?
If you take these 200,000 spirit stones, it would be like leaving a deadly time bomb by your side.
Shang Xiong was furious, pointing at the two large boxes and shouting, "Then you should also know that the value of these spirit stones is enough to buy your life and that girl's life thousands of times! But I came here with good intentions to ask you to cooperate with us!"
Seeing his own president looking so angry and frustrated, Qing Yi had actually already decided to kill him.
But before coming, Shang Xiong had reminded him.
Don't wipe out Gu's Medical Clinic unless it's absolutely necessary.
After all, Shang Xiong is a businessman who has been in the business for a long time. What he needs to consider is not the small gains and losses at the moment, but the long-term interests of the entire Qingfeng Baohang.
If the sales of Qingling Liquid and Jinling Liquid were all controlled by Qingfeng Baoxing, the profits would be enormous!
Qing Yi could understand it, but he didn't like this approach.
As a killer, he wanted to solve the problem in a simple way, which was to directly kill the girl who could refine the Golden Spirit Liquid and cut off the cash cow of the Golden Phoenix Treasure Bank once and for all.
Of course, doing so may not necessarily solve the problem. If Jinhuang Baoxing has already obtained the recipe for the Golden Spirit Liquid, then killing Qin Yiyao would only be a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. At most, they can just find another alchemist.
If you think about it carefully, the owner of this clinic doesn't even know the value of the elixir he refined, and he was cheated by the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop. Maybe even the prescription has been stolen from him.
So after much consideration, Shang Xiong decided that the best strategy was to bribe the owner of Gu's Clinic with huge profits!
Gu Heng's face slowly darkened.
Are you really coming here with good intentions?
He was furious when he was rejected, and the implicit meaning in his words was that he wanted to buy the lives of Gu Heng and Qin Yiyao?
This guy failed to bribe and now he's trying to use intimidation.However, he only brought such a guard with him, and he himself was a fat and weakling, relying on his wealth to speak nonsense... Gu Heng felt that he might look too kind, so President Shang did not consider the possibility that Gu Heng would kill them both on the spot.
Gu Heng also felt murderous in his heart.
But his eyes were on the guard named Qing Yi.
This guy...seems difficult to deal with.
He has been very cautious, leaning forward, as if he would move if Gu Heng made any move. Moreover, Gu Heng suspected that this guy was a cultivator.
The assassins of Qingfeng Baoxing are all cultivators, and the personal guards around the president must also be cultivators.
If it was a cultivator, even if Gu Heng wanted to kill him, he would not be able to do anything.
Although he can use poison, he still has to find a good time and use it when the other party is careless. Qing Yi is now very alert to Gu Heng's actions. If he rashly uses poison, it may backfire.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng had no choice but to endure it for the time being.
"President Shang, although this Gu's Medical Clinic is not a well-known place, but you are forcing others to buy and sell so hard, have you ever thought about forcing others to panic?"
Gu Heng's tone gradually turned cold.
"You... good, very good!"
But at this moment, Shang Xiong suppressed the anger in his heart again.
He didn't want to be too out of control.
Moreover, the guy in front of him was at best just the girl's servant. He thought these spirit stones were worthless, which only meant that he was looking at the wealth of the cultivators with the eyes of a mortal.
Perhaps, the real owner of the clinic would understand how great a fortune these two hundred thousand spirit stones are.
This mortal's vision and ideas are too stupid!
He should talk to the girl directly!
Why waste time on this guy?
"Well, I'm talking to you like a fool!"
Shang Xiong waved his sleeves and suppressed his anger. It was not worth it to be mad at a mortal. He continued, "You can't make the decision anyway. I'll wait here for your master to come back and then I'll talk to her!"
After saying that, he simply sat on the box full of spirit stones.
"My master?"
Gu Heng frowned slightly, not quite understanding what Shang Xiong meant.
"Humph, the one who refined the Golden Spirit Liquid was the girl named Qin Yiyao you served! You are at best just a servant she used to deceive others. I want to talk to her, not you."
Shang Xiong said proudly.
Gu Heng suddenly understood.
Sure enough, he asked Qin Yiyao to go to Jinhuang Baohang to "deliver the goods". Shang Xiong got the news from his spy, and then thought that Qin Yiyao was the one who could make the decision. He had no idea that Gu Heng was actually the one who finalized everything from beginning to end.
Why does President Shang think that Qin Yiyao can make the decision?
Normally, such a big cooperation should be arranged by the older "elders"!
The little girl was devoted to sword practice. She would play with swordplay in the yard every day after getting up. If he hadn't asked her to do so, she would never go to make medicine.
Gu Heng couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Shang Xiong with a teasing and sarcastic look in his eyes. "President Shang, don't waste your energy. She won't agree to anything I don't agree to. My opinion is her opinion!"
"Also, I'm not her servant. Although I take care of her daily life, I adopted that girl."
