84: It's just doing whatever you want.

“...”

Chen Heng’s Face was full of black lines; he didn’t know what to say.

His Medicinal Pill indeed came out of nowhere, and if pressed, he couldn’t tell the truth.

But Qi Longhu, that old man, was a bit too much with his words.

How could he possibly use the Gang Leader as a guinea pig?

He was still eyeing that old man’s treasure vault.

If the old man died, Chen Heng would have even less chance to sweep through his treasure vault.

“Just rest assured; I wouldn’t harm him, would I?”

Chen Heng had full confidence in the Medicinal Pills produced by the System.

So far, anything mentioned in the description was guaranteed to be effective.

He didn’t believe that Gou Longxun’s hidden injuries could be more formidable than the Optimized Medicinal Pill.

If that were true, Chen Heng wouldn’t need to bother; he might as well find an old crooked-neck tree and hang himself.

“Are you sure?” Qi Longhu still didn’t quite believe him.

After all, Chen Heng’s Medicinal Pill appeared too suddenly, and its effects were too terrifying.

It was hard not to be suspicious.

“Do I have any reason to harm him?” Chen Heng sighed.

Actually, Chen Heng quite liked Gou Longxun.

He was a man of his word, loyal to his brothers and subordinates, and had an excellent reputation in Qiyang City.

Most importantly, once Gou Longxun, this old man, recovered from his injuries, he would be an Innate master.

This would be a great help for Chen Heng’s plans against the Ghost Corpse Temple!

Moreover, Gou Longxun had deep affection for Qiyang City and would definitely do everything in his power to help Chen Heng kill the Ghost Corpse Temple.

“Alright then, come with me, old man.”

Qi Longhu returned the spirit recovery pill to Chen Heng, stood up, and walked out.

“You give this Medicinal Pill to the Gang Leader,” Qi Longhu said with some helplessness while sitting in the carriage.

“If the Medicinal Pill’s effect is as you say, then you’ll have rendered a great service, and you’ll be able to rummage through the Gang Leader’s treasure vault again.”

“But if anything goes wrong with this Medicinal Pill, just say I was the one who got it.”

“Even if I’m punished, it’s no big deal, but such a punishment would be hard for you to bear.”

“No need.” Chen Heng waved his hand, refusing Qi Longhu’s kind offer.

“Hey, you kid!” Qi Longhu glared, but then sagged.

“I hope the effect of your Medicinal Pill is as good as you say.”

“Otherwise, no one who succeeds as the leader of the Five Spirits Gang will be able to command respect.”

“If the Old Gang Leader really can’t make it, the Five Spirits Gang will definitely disband…”

Chen Heng remained silent, quietly listening to Qi Longhu’s lament.

The old man was quite talkative; he spoke from beginning to end during the half-hour journey.

“You don’t even know, back when I was still a…”

The carriage had already stopped, but Qi Longhu was still babbling non-stop.

“Alright! Let’s hurry and deliver the Medicinal Pill to the Gang Leader!”

Chen Heng really couldn’t listen anymore, so he quickly jumped out of the carriage.

Even someone with the best temper couldn’t endure such nagging.

Chen Heng had already shown him a lot of Face by patiently listening to Qi Longhu the entire way.

“Right, right, important matters first.”

Qi Longhu nodded and jumped out of the carriage.

The two of them smoothly met Gou Longxun, who was writing something in a quiet room.

“Gang Leader.” Qi Longhu and Chen Heng sat opposite Gou Longxun, looking at the old man whose vitality was rapidly declining.

“Xiao Qi and Vice Envoy Chen are both here.”

Gou Longxun smiled and put down his pen.

“It seems you two have heard the news.”

“Well then, since you’re both here, I’ll tell you now.”

“What?” Qi Longhu and Chen Heng were utterly confused, not understanding what Gou Longxun meant.

“Xiao Qi, I personally raised you, my boy.”

“After I die, I can only rest assured if the Five Spirits Gang is entrusted to you.”

“Quan’er’s life was saved, but seventy percent of his Meridians are ruined, so he’s no longer destined for the Martial Dao.”

“Take good care of him from now on.”

“And my daughter, if one day she returns, remember…”

“Wait a minute!” Qi Longhu rubbed his temples, quickly interrupting Gou Longxun’s will-like speech.

“Gang Leader, I’m a bit unaccustomed to you talking to me like this all of a sudden.”

“Why does it sound like a will?”

“If you don’t curse at me a bit, I won’t feel right.”

“Don’t be surprised, I am indeed making a will.” Gou Longxun’s eyes showed no fear of death.

There was only the calm acceptance of life and death.

“I have at most one month left to live; if I don’t arrange my affairs properly, won’t I just be causing you trouble?”

Gou Longxun shook his head and began to pick up his pen to write his will again.

“Gang Leader, I came here this time to bring you medicine.”

Seeing that Qi Longhu’s mood wasn’t quite right, Chen Heng took out the spirit recovery pill from his waist pouch and placed it on the table.

“Forget it, don’t waste resources on a dying man like me.”

Gou Longxun glanced at the Medicinal Pill on the table, shook his head, and continued writing his will.

“Give it a try; what if it works?”

Chen Heng uncorked the bottle, and a cool fragrance filled the quiet room.

Gou Longxun’s eyes suddenly widened, his Face full of shock.

“You… ”

“Why do I feel so much better just by smelling the fragrance?”

Gou Longxun’s eyes were filled with astonishment; he had lived for over a hundred years and this was the first time he had been so shocked.

“This Medicinal Pill is called the spirit recovery pill; it can bring the dead back to life and mend broken bones…”

Chen Heng repeated the System’s description again.

The extinguished flame in Gou Longxun’s eyes reignited, and he looked at Chen Heng with burning intensity.

“Vice Envoy Chen, this spirit recovery pill must be an extremely precious item.”

“Is it really appropriate to use it on a mere martial artist like me?”

In that instant, countless mini-dramas played out in Gou Longxun’s mind.

He was now certain that Chen Heng was a disciple sent by some Noble and powerful clans for training.

Otherwise, how could a mortal possess such a Divine Pill?

“I am also just a martial artist, so why can’t I use it?”

Chen Heng raised an eyebrow and poured out a golden spirit recovery pill from the porcelain bottle, placing it on the table.

“There is no such thing as a gift without a reason.”

Although Gou Longxun yearned for the small Medicinal Pill on the table.

However, years of experience in the Jianghu still allowed him to control his hand.

“What does Vice Envoy Chen need this old man to do to earn this Medicinal Pill?”

“?” Chen Heng was stunned; he really hadn’t thought about that.

Chen Heng was just like that, accustomed to acting on impulse.

He never sought reasons for what he wanted to do, nor did he ask for anything in return when he wanted to help someone.

He simply did what he wanted to do.

“Gang Leader, you’re overthinking it.” Chen Heng pushed the spirit recovery pill towards Gou Longxun, his expression calm.

“I’m just someone who acts on impulse.”

“This small spirit recovery pill is nothing; to me, it’s just a very ordinary Medicinal Pill.”

“Just eat it.”

Gou Longxun struggled for a while, but still couldn’t resist the temptation of recovering from his injuries and returning to the Innate realm.

He picked up the Medicinal Pill from the table and put it in his mouth.

With a gulp, the Medicinal Pill entered his stomach.
