60 The Duel That Turned The Tide 1

The side profile of Gu Ruoyun's face was gleaming bright with confidence under the bright light of the Sun, causing Xun Feng's gaze to be in a trance and daze for a split second. All of a sudden, he made a decision at that very moment, a decision that would influence and change the rest of his life permanently.

"If you possess the strength that could help me get my revenge, I, Xun Feng, will obey your order and command for the rest of my entire life!"

In truth, from the very start, Gu Ruo Yun had had her eyes on Xun Feng the moment she met with this group of people. It was obviously because this man was the most powerful among all of them. Besides, she also had a feeling that this young man had an identity that was out of the ordinary.

"Do not worry. Since you guys have already become my followers, I promise I will never mistreat any of you." Gu Ruoyun paused for a while before continuing again, "As you can see, I have the Qi Gathering Pills in my hand now. Once you have consumed the pills, your strength will grow much rapidly."

Qi Gathering Pills?

None of these people had heard of this pill before, and they could not help but stare at Gu Ruoyun dumbfoundedly.

"Qi Gathering Pills? Are you... are you talking about pills?"

Just when every one of them was in a confused and baffled state, Elder Yu let out a yelp in surprise.

His pair of aged eyes were wide open in bewilderment and he stared fixedly at the ceramic bottle that Gu Ruoyun was holding. At this very moment, even his breath felt antsy and nervous, for fear that he would miss out a word that she said.

None of these people knew what Qi Gathering Pill was but as a member of the Dongfang family, how could he not know what it was?

That was a legendary object!! How did she manage to get her hands on those pills?

This... this was beyond incredible!

After all, even when it was tens of thousands years ago, the mere existence of Pill Master itself was considered as something immensely valuable, let alone the time right now when the Pill Master no longer existed. Even in the household of the Dongfang family, there were only two pills left in the keepsake. All the more so, they were obtained by the master in an ancient ruin. Up until today, they were being treasured as the family heirloom.

But she? Carelessly taking the pills out? On top of that, she was simply giving away the pills just like that?

This was such a disgrace!

Elder Yu stared at Gu Ruoyun exasperatedly. It was obvious that he was discontented and unhappy about the fact that she was giving out the pills just like that. Even if they were her followers, she need not be so generous!

"Elder Yu, it seems to me like your cultivation level is already at the bottleneck level. These Qi Gathering Pills will not be much use to somebody who is already at that kind of bottleneck level anyway. That is why I did not prepare one for you too. I will find you another pill that could help you to make a breakthrough past the high-level Martial General next time, alright?

Seeing the look in Elder Yu's eyes, all Gu Ruoyun could do was to just rub the tip of her nose while shrugging her shoulders.

Wh... What?

Elder Yu opened his eyes wide in surprise?

This young little girl just told me that she was able to help me make a breakthrough to the Martial King stage?

I must be hallucinating.

Yeah, that must be it. I must be hallucinating.....

In his eyes, having these many pills were already considered something bizarre and unthinkable, let alone having a pill that could help him break past the peak of the Martial Warrior stage. This scenario was totally unimaginable, something that was completely impossible.

"Hehe, Lady Gu, that is very nice of you. However, my inborn talent is not that great anyway. In virtue of my loyalty and dutiful towards him, young master permitted me to distant and hold myself aloof from the rest of the world, allowing me to spend my remaining days over here, and take care of the Hundred Herb Hall at the same time. I know my own abilities well. It is impossible for me to make anymore breakthrough for the rest of my life."

Shaking his head, Elder Yu let out a chuckle.

Having listened to his words, Gu Ruoyun did not say anything more. She spoke with a smile, "Elder Yu, please help me to distribute all of these pills to each of them. These Qi Gathering Pills will help the warriors gather and accumulate all of the Qi energy from the universe, which increases the speed of cultivation. However, only one pill can be consumed at a time. They must wait till the effects of the pill wear off before they consume another one."
