Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 774: Chapter 772: Before the Alchemy Land

When Gu Xi confirmed that this mountain forest belonged to the area for refining Herbs into Elixir, his gaze towards the forest changed.

He decisively released the Equipment Carrier and used its perspective to observe the forest before him.

In Gu Xi’s eyes, the mountain forest quickly underwent changes.

Gu Xi felt that this mountain forest seemed to be forcibly squeezed together by many Earth Veins.

Gu Xi wanted to count the number of Earth Veins but discovered that these Earth Veins were actually alive, constantly writhing in the forest, and he couldn’t figure out their number.

Moreover, Gu Xi noticed that the aura enveloping the mountain forest was somewhat off; there was vitality, death aura, Earth Qi, and some peculiar auras.

This mix in proportion clearly had issues.

All the auras concentrated on a large tree in the center of the forest.

And when Gu Xi looked over, he found that with his Netherworld Dragon Robe Carrier’s level of power, it seemed weak. This thing wasn’t considered top-grade even among the Purple Armor.

Without the support of the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp’s power, it might be impossible to even see the aura of the Earth Veins clearly as before.

At present, not being able to see the condition of the tree and the constant movement of the Earth Veins was probably a natural reaction when the Grass Returning Pill was about to form.

As Gu Xi observed the mountain forest, several Ghost Immortals and Loose Immortals with strength comparable to Li Yufang also gathered around.

They all knew who was beside Li Yufang, so they just watched from afar.

They didn’t even ask Li Yufang or Wang Datong about the situation, nor did they leave; instead, they just stared from a distance.

”Are they here for the Grass Returning Pill too?”

Gu Xi pointed at these people and asked casually.

”Yes, every time the Grass Returning Pill forms, many people come to try their luck.”

”Generally speaking, how is the Grass Returning Pill distributed? Besides the three for the Living Ghosts, how are the remaining nine divided?”

”The three for the Living Ghosts are actually counted on the Ghost Immortals’ side. But as Living Ghosts, we are stronger than ordinary Ghost Immortals, and Ghost Immortals have other paths to take, so they usually don’t fight for it.

Even if they do fight, they go for the Demon Immortals’ or Deceit Immortals’ portion.

Similarly, the Demon Immortals and Deceit Immortals each get three, and the last three are for mortals.”

Listening to this allocation of twelve pieces, Gu Xi had an idea in his heart.

Is such a distribution reasonable?

Very reasonable.

But why?

This Alchemist spent a hundred or two hundred years just for these twelve elixirs, and there’s a possibility of them not even forming.

Before Gu Xi could figure out what this Alchemist wanted to do, Li Yufang had already jumped off the bridal sedan chair.

Following Li Yufang’s wedding procession, they took out all the dowries that were originally brought up as gifts.

Li Yufang hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she didn’t lose Gu Xi’s face and only instructed her subordinates to deliver these dowries to the forest’s front.

After everything was set up, Li Yufang loudly declared: ”Li Family Yu Fang, returning the betrothal gifts, presenting the dowries, and breaking off the engagement!”

Hearing this, Gu Xi raised his head.

Bad, he’s become the villain in a divorce drama, and a weak villain at that.

At this moment, a voice echoed from within the mountain forest, sharp like a night hawk.

”Li Family’s Daughter, it was you who wrote to me initially, saying you wanted to marry me and suppress the Anomalous Qi on your body, promising no mishaps en route that would harm others. Only then did I give you a chance to get the Grass Returning Pill. Why don’t you look outside, how many Living Ghosts are waiting for this Grass Returning Pill.

What do you mean now, are you trying to embarrass me?

If you want to leave now, you won’t get any elixir from my hands in the future.”

Unexpectedly, Li Yufang was also decisive.

Back then, when she wanted to marry, she proposed herself. Now, not wanting to marry, she easily becomes a widow and leaves.

Never hesitating.

Right now, behind her stood ’big-shot’ Gu Xi.

This golden thigh has already been hugged, why would she choose someone whose face she hasn’t even seen?

”I’m not afraid!”

Hearing Li Yufang’s words, the night hawk’s call from the forest became more pronounced.

”Alright, alright, alright, I just want to see what level you can reach in the end. Scram, get out of here!”

Upon hearing this, Li Yufang boldly threw herself into Gu Xi’s arms in front of everyone.

”Young Master, I will only have you from now on.”

Listening to this, Gu Xi couldn’t help but recall that when he first entered this world, it seemed he heard the words from the Li family members in the Graveyard.

It seemed that Li Yufang’s marriage situation was quite difficult.

Now it seems, Li Yufang being unable to get married very likely was her doing.

Her decisions to marry or divorce at will surely isn’t something a normal person can endure.

Fortunately, Li Yufang was just his subordinate and had no intention of marrying him, otherwise he’d also be driven crazy.

However, a question suddenly flashed through Gu Xi’s mind, wondering where all those Li Yufang divorced had gone.

The one in the forest said Li Yufang cursed her husbands, I wonder if that’s true.

While pondering this, Gu Xi didn’t notice that all eyes around had fallen on him.

They took advantage of Li Yufang’s gesture to thoroughly scrutinize Gu Xi from inside out.

In a place where Gu Xi couldn’t hear, they had already begun exchanging whispers.

’The robe-like thing in front of us has the aura of the Underworld, and it’s quite pure. It can indeed summon the Yin Soldiers.’

’He appears to have not even started, but there are certainly other auras on him, with two different auras, one divisible among bodies, which I can see.

However, what the other one is, I can’t really determine, have to wait for him to use that power to judge.’

’Apparently, it’s true as the rumors say, he’s the reincarnation of the Lord of the Mansion, what do we do now?’

’This is a good thing for us, he’s with the Li Family’s Daughter, probably interested in her. With the Lord of the Mansion’s ability, she can get through even without the Grass Returning Pill.

Then we can have one more Grass Returning Pill to share.’

’Indeed, then let’s not act rashly, don’t want to provoke the Li Family’s Daughter’s temper, causing her to also fight for the Grass Returning Pill, creating chaos.’

’Good, also I think we should protect this one’s physical body, and even if a great battle breaks out, don’t involve him.

Otherwise, if we were to awaken the Lord of the Mansion, none of us might get out alive.’

’That’s a good idea, let’s do it, I’ll talk to the others.’

’I also know a few people, I’ll have a word with them.’

Meanwhile, Gu Xi had released Li Yufang and turned to look towards the forest.

Seeing Gu Xi’s actions, everyone nearby halted their conversation and looked at Gu Xi.

At this point, Gu Xi took a step forward, ”I would like to arrange for the next round of Grass Returning Pill, is that possible?”
