Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Spread the Rumor

Jiang Xiaobai knew that for the elder to be aware of the Gu’s clan matters, there had to be a connection between them.

So the first thing he needed to do was to figure out how the other party was communicating with the Gu’s clan.

The elder was not in the small courtyard at the time, so Jiang Xiaobai simply infiltrated the room, waiting stoutly for the elder to return.

Just as he was about to doze off out of sheer boredom, the room door was pushed open.

He instantly woke up, concealing his presence while also activating the array board.

Although the array board had multiple benefits, it could only be used in fixed locations.

As soon as the elder entered, he took out a token from his storage ring.

Jiang Xiaobai immediately understood that this was how they communicated with each other.

The elder focused momentarily before tossing the token to the side.

The message had been sent, but no one knew what the elder had communicated. Jiang Xiaobai guessed that it was probably related to Dragon

Valley.

Next, the elder began to cultivate.

When a certain realm is reached, a significant portion of a person’s life is spent in secluded cultivation, aiming to break through to higher realms.

Instantly, Jiang Xiaobai knew his chance had come.

He had already placed some unique pills in the room, which were designed to cause diarrhea.

Yes, even the formidable cultivator of this elder, would not be able to resist without antidote.

The pill had been ground into powder and spread through the room.

It was colorless, tasteless, and did not resonate with spirit energy, making it undetectable unless closely inspected.

Jiang Xiaobai was very confident about this.

As expected, before long, the elder suddenly opened his eyes, clutching his stomach.

Jiang Xiaobai could hear the elder’s stomach grumbling.

“What’s happening? Why am I experiencing such a violent reaction?”

The elder frowned deeply.

His expression was ferocious, as if he wanted to suppress the situation from escalating further.

But this pill had another terrifying effect. Once the spiritual energy within the body started circulating, it accelerated the effects of the pill.

Less than ten seconds after he began to suppress his spiritual energy, the elder could no longer hold on.

He rushed out of the room, leaving the token behind.

“Heh heh, after all, I possess the skill to concoct pills of the Grand Master. If this pill’s effect isn’t enough to floor you, that would be strange indeed.” “Pardon me, but I’ll send a message in your stead.”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled to himself, but he didn’t take immediate action.

He was quite confident in the lasting effects of his pill, guaranteeing the elder would be indisposed for at least an hour.

With so much time, he could afford to be cautious.

Only after waiting an additional ten minutes to confirm there were no issues did Jiang Xiaobai fly over to the token.

This token remained motionless. Jiang Xiaobai reckoned it was a one-way communication tool.

Previously, Ao Yan had brought up this device in a conversation, and Jiang Xiaobai had a rough idea of how to use it. If it was a two-way communication tool, receipt of a message from the other side would consume a short duration of spirit stone storage.

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t care and began to send a message.

After the message was sent, he immediately cleared his presence from the room, making sure everything was as it was, without any discrepancies.

He then left quickly.

The sequence of actions was as smooth as a flowing stream. One wouldn’t know that he wasn’t accustomed to doing this if they weren’t told.

Meanwhile, GuBei, who was resting in a tavern, suddenly furrowed his brows.

He took out a communication token from his storage ring.

“The Cleansing Dan would be auctioned off in this period?”

GuBei wasn’t certain why the other party would send such information his way, but undoubtedly, the words ‘Cleansing Dan’ had firmly grabbed his attention.

Everyone in the eastern region of Sky Cang Continent presently knew about the Cleansing Dan.

It was a valuable treasure capable of thoroughly cleaning all fire poison!

Endless powerhouses would buy it to invite various Dan Masters to study and break its secrets, and the Gu clan was no exception.

“The Cleansing Dan is in demand and scarce, if I come across it this time, I must get it.”

GuBei had no hesitation about this news.

After all, the other party has a high status within Dragon Valley and is in close proximity to Tianyuan City, it’s not surprising for them to get such news. Moreover, this time they have provided a very specific address, as well as the auction date.

GuBei felt it would be unjustifiable if he did not intervene.

So he got Mr.Qi to rush over. After discussing for a bit, they felt it was feasible.

“Good, our Gu clan also needs the Cleansing Dan urgently. If we could get some, your evaluation within the clan would only increase.”

Mr.Qi smiled and said, “Master, considering this, our trip to Dragon Valley will be delayed by more than half a month. Should I contact Dragon Valley?”

“Of course, but it’s just half a month, they wouldn’t be able to prepare much.” GuBei wore a cruel smile on his face, “What does the mortal man want now?”

“Our people in Dragon Valley have all been driven out by Ao Yan, and we can’t make contact with the mortal. However… Dragon Valley’s attitude is very firm, and they refuse to compromise.”

“Ridiculous, do they not regard my Gu clan, or do they not regard me, GuBei?” As he said this, GuBei’s expression grew grim.

“Go, send Dragon Valley an ultimatum, if the mortal is still alive when I arrive at Dragon Valley, they will bear the consequences.”

“The face of my Gu clan, is not something that can be disregarded as they please.”

Instantly, Mr.Qi bowed in agreement.

Meanwhile, GuBei started to change his route to head to a nearby major city, the place where the first auction would begin. The time was in two days.

Back in Dragon Valley, Jiang Xiaobai leisurely strolled back to his small courtyard.

All along the way, he considered his current situation.

He couldn’t interfere much within Dragon Valley as he simply couldn’t take down Ao Yan.

Although he was on good terms with Ao Cheng, who would believe what that good-for-nothing said?

Probably not even Ao Cheng himself believed it.

The situation with the Third Elder was also a bit peculiar.

For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai felt that his crisis had deepened.

The enemy was clearly determined to kill him.

“I cannot be this passive. If I can improve the living conditions inside Dragon Valley before the Gu clan arrives, perhaps I could survive.” Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself.

He didn’t believe that Ao Yan and Ao Cheng would help him.

It could be said that no one in Dragon Valley would do this.

Not even if he could concoct the Cleansing Dan.

By that time, faced with the coaxing and coercion of the Gu clan, what else could he do but give out the formula?

And Dragon Valley might quite possibly discard him after he’s of no further use.

So, it is said that self-help is paramount.

His strength is the most important.

“Otherwise, should I seize an opportunity to absorb the energy from the veins to enhance my power?”

Jiang Xiaobai began to contemplate the matter of the veins again. As he was thinking, he had already pushed open the courtyard door and stepped in. But just as he entered, he saw Ao Yan sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.

He was stunned.

Damn it, what does this woman want now!?
