Lu Li never thought that the Daxue State of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon would actually hide a rich man like Old Man Gao.
Alchemists are the richest people in the world, but Old Man Gao is usually too low-key and always likes to care about petty profits, so people ignore his identity.
Now that Gu Haoran mentioned it like this, Lu Li realized that Old Man Gao was not only an alchemist, but also the richest one among them.
The owner of the Broken Realm Pill, one of the nine masters of refining medicine in the world. These two titles alone represent heavy profits.
To explain it in the most popular terms, Old Man Gao's wealth alone is likely to exceed that of all the famous families in the entire Tiantian Holy Kingdom. Even if he is tied to the royal family, it may not be enough for him.
"Boy, you'd better not come up with any evil ideas. My family fortune has been almost wiped out a long time ago. Otherwise, where do you think the family pensions of the warriors who have died in the Daxue Prefecture over the years come from?"
Seeing Lu Li's eyes shining, Old Man Gao immediately became vigilant and knew his nature. He didn't give Lu Li the slightest chance to defeat him.
Lu Li smacked his lips, "Senior Gao, what you said is meaningless. We have known each other for a while, and we have been working together for a while, right? Why do you say that I am coveting your family fortune? Besides, For those seniors who died in the Great Snow Prefecture, isn't Snow Lord responsible for their pensions? I know this, so don't fool me."
Old Man Gao sneered: "How much money does Snow Lord have? He is nominally in charge, but in fact it still depends on the family wealth of us old guys?"
This sentence is true.
Don't look at the fact that Snow Lord is said to be invincible under the gods, but his great strength does not mean how strong his family is.
On the contrary, Xuezun lives a very poor life, even though in a place like Daxue State, everyone's life is tight. However, Snow Lord's stingy state is really not in line with his status as Mingyou Grandmaster.
Even the other Grandmaster Mingyou, who is not as powerful as him, usually displays the spirit of joy in hardship and pursues the quality of life to some extent.
After all, after staying in such a ghost place for hundreds of years, even if you are as powerful as Grandmaster Mingyou, you still have to find something to relax your mind.
However, Snow Lord is a bit unique. Apart from that special tent, he has almost no needs. The most important thing is that he is so poor that he has no desires or desires.
Therefore, the pensions that Snow Lord is responsible for will eventually fall on the heads of 'rich men' like Old Man Gao.
"Old Gao, I don't know about other people, but you." Gu Haoran on the side showed a sly smile, hugged Old Man Gao and said, "Don't talk nonsense. With the relationship between the two of us, I can hide you well." How many things can you give to my little junior brother?"
Old Man Gao looked at him in surprise: "What is your relationship with me?"
Gu Haoran shouted: "Old Gao, what you said is so chilling. You have forgotten that when my second junior brother asked you to make medicine, you insisted on making things difficult for him. If I hadn't stopped him in the end, he would have cut him down with a sword. Damn you!"
Originally, it was better that Gu Haoran didn't mention this matter. When he mentioned this matter, Old Man Gao's beard stood up and his face was filled with frost: "Huh! Do you still have the nerve to mention your crazy junior brother? 'Reincarnation Pill' and this kind of teasing Not to mention me, even the founder of the world’s alchemists would not dare to easily refine the forbidden elixir of Netherworld! Even if I reject him, it’s for his own good, but what’s the result? This lunatic actually wants to force me!”
"The most irritating thing is you. You stopped that lunatic, but what was the result? You just defrauded me of two 'Tianqiao Pills', and you said they were money to buy your life?"
When Old Man Gao mentioned the losses that year, he was so heartbroken that he beat his chest. He turned to look at Lu Li and said bitterly: "Bad boy, I kindly advise you to stay away from this person named Gu. Except for his master, those other teachers Brothers are all lunatics, there will be no good end if you hang out with them!"
Lu Li was listening with great interest, but when he saw Old Man Gao suddenly turning the topic to himself, he couldn't help but said, "To be honest, I didn't choose this senior brother myself."
"Junior brother, senior brother is looking for benefits for you. You are really heartless."
Gu Haoran screamed twice, then grabbed Old Man Gao tightly: "Stop talking nonsense, it's the same old rule, two Tianqiao Pills will buy your life!"
"Why are you buying your life? How dare you rob me here?" Old Man Gao almost laughed out of anger and said with a pinched neck.
Gu Haoran said sadly: "Tell me, if I take you to fly around in the depths of the Sea of Demonic Beasts, will you, an old guy, still have the life to come back?"
Old Man Gao was stunned, then his face turned red and he said, "Do you really dare to rob me?"
"As I said, based on our friendship, it's not too much for you to give my junior brother a meeting gift, right?" Gu Haoran showed a smiling expression.
Old Man Gao seemed to have given in. He sighed, took out two gray pills and said, "Gu Haoran, this is the last time I see you!"
"Take it, take it, get out of here!"
Gu Haoran took the two gray pills and put them away when he was ready. He winked at Lu Li and walked to the other side of the city wall.
When Lu Li saw this, he whispered to Old Man Gao, "What is that pill? It's so precious?"
Old Man Gao had a look of pain on his face, "He asked for it for you, won't you know after you eat it?"
After that, he asked again: "Remember what I told you, stay away from him, nothing good will happen!"
"Don't worry, I'll have a drink with you tomorrow." Lu Li smiled and didn't take these words to heart.
In fact, after staying in Daxue Prefecture for this period of time, he already has a different view on his division.
What's more, Gu Haoran is obviously a very strong master of Mingyou. With such a background, why don't he want it
While thinking, Lu Li followed Gu Haoran's footsteps.
Gu Haoran walked forward with his hands behind his back and asked with a smile: "How is it? What have you gained these days?"
"Except for the fact that the true energy has not yet been refined, there are quite a few other gains."
Lu Li nodded, now he knew the reason why Gu Haoran sent him here.
Not to mention anything else, the exercises, martial arts, and combat experience he has learned from those warriors during this period of time are an immeasurable and huge wealth.
If possible, Lu Li even wanted to stay here for a while longer. The terrifying swordsmanship shown by Snow Lord today made Lu Li very envious.
It just so happens that the points are very rich now. If I can cheat that sword technique and integrate it into the Perfect Sword Scripture, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds
"It's good if you gain something. Senior brother, I'm really afraid that you'll gain nothing here." At this time, Gu Haoran nodded, his tone a little sad.
Lu Li understood the deeper meaning of his words, "Has the situation in the Holy Kingdom changed?"
Gu Haoran hummed, and then handed the pill over, "This Tianqiao Pill is the best elixir for nourishing the Qiao in the world. It is much more effective than the Breaking Realm Pill for those evil ways of squeezing Qi and blood like you."
After catching the two dusty pills, Lu Li was silent for a moment and then asked, "Prince Yan, is she... okay?"
"The situation is different now. If nothing happens, you don't have to take action in this operation."
Gu Haoran's tone was calm and he answered the question as if explaining an insignificant matter.
But these words stirred up a storm in Lu Li's heart.
Of course he knew what Gu Haoran meant when he said there was no need to take action.
It was an order from the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom to kill the messenger who was welcoming the bride, and Lu Li believed that Mu Hongxiu himself did not know about it. But now even Gu Haoran knew about it. Either the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom told him about it personally, or the situation had deteriorated to the point where His Majesty the Emperor himself told Mu Hongxiu everything and actively terminated the plan.
The possibility of the former is not high, because Gu Haoran obviously seems to have no friendship with the Emperor of the Holy Kingdom.
But if it's the latter, it can only explain one problem.
The Jitian Demon Kingdom came with great force, either forcing the Holy Kingdom Emperor to change his plan by force, or offering him benefits that he could not refuse, so that Mu Hongxiu had to be sacrificed, and he did not hesitate to let the prince get married, which was an unheard of humiliation. , you must also bow your head.
"Why don't you take action?" After a long silence, Lu Li clutched two pills and said in a deep voice, "Is it true that for the emperor, anything can be reneged on?"
Immediately, Lu Li saw that Gu Haoran did not answer, and laughed at himself: "It seems that I am meddling in other people's business?"
