264: Kill Wu Shouzhuo

Gu Changan couldn't be bothered to put in that much effort; after all, a wisp of Treasure Qi could only replicate one type of item.

Furthermore, he would have to categorize and store them, organizing them into complete sets of Materials.

Why not just buy them ready-made?

With 200 sets of Materials for the qi gathering pill laid out before him, Gu Changan began to refine them one by one.

This time, Gu Changan began to control the pill condensation time, pushing it back further.

He wanted to see how many breaths he could delay before it failed.

As a result, he experimented and found that from the 8th breath to just before the 20th breath, he could achieve success every time.

Earlier than 8 breaths or later than 20 breaths would result in failure.

Gu Changan also discovered that the optimal Medicinal Pill product occurred at the 12th breath.

At this point, the quality of the formed pill was the best, with a smooth and glossy surface.

Moreover, it could sometimes reach the level of a Medium Grade qi gathering pill.

As for High Grade Medicinal Pills or top-grade Medicinal Pills?

Gu Changan did not know what was required to form them.

In any case, Gu Changan didn't rely on Alchemy to make a living, so as long as he could form pills, that was fine!

He still had the treasure gathering basin!

Even the trashiest Medicinal Pill could be upgraded to top-grade!

After Gu Changan figured out the pattern, he didn't intend to refine the remaining Materials.

He casually tossed them into the treasure gathering basin.

Calculating the time, Wu Shouzhuo would likely return to the Family base sometime today.

Gu Changan had been waiting early in the morning on the road between Tianbao City and the Treasure Pavilion headquarters.

He used the Breath Concealment Art to restrain his aura.

Like an unmoving rock, he stayed in the woods below.

At the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion flagship store in Tianbao City, there were personnel from Tingfeng Hall.

As soon as Wu Shouzhuo stepped out, he was detected by the people from Tingfeng Hall.

Subsequently, an identity token from the Shadow Dust Pavilion that Gu Changan had kept on his person transmitted a message: "The target has left!"

Gu Changan immediately became alert.

His Golden Core Stage Divine Sense enveloped the sky above the entire mountain range.

He only saw a golden escape light approaching from afar, flying rapidly toward the mountain peak.

Gu Changan seized the opportunity and unleashed his Spirit Treasure, the shadowless water sword.

little shadow disappeared instantly like a fish entering water.

When it reappeared, it was already in mid-air.

It rapidly pierced through Wu Shouzhuo from the front.

Wu Shouzhuo felt his strength draining away, clutching his chest with one hand.

He pushed his Golden Core Stage Divine Sense to its maximum, scanning back and forth repeatedly.

He wanted to see who exactly was attacking him.

With his other hand, he quickly pulled out a Talisman, activated it, and sent it flying away.

A golden escape light was seen flying rapidly toward the direction of the mountains in the sky.

How could Gu Changan let him send a message?

The headquarters of the Treasure Pavilion had a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator!

Gu Changan secretly urged the Spirit Treasure shadowless water sword to quickly catch up to that spirit Talisman and blast it apart in mid-air.

Wu Shouzhuo was stunned; his last hope for rescue was gone.

With the resolve of someone facing death, he roared: "Which Fellow Daoist is it?"

Then he turned around, scanning with his Golden Core Stage Divine Sense, but found no target.

He died with his eyes wide open in resentment!

Wu Shouzhuo fell straight from the sky, crashed into a tree, and then rolled into the forest.

Gu Changan approached rapidly and casually summoned the Spirit Treasure top-grade thousand soul banner.

He swept across the soul on the corpse and extracted a glaring Golden Core Stage soul, which had roughly the cultivation of a Ghost General.

Only then did Wu Shouzhuo's soul see clearly who had killed him, but his eyes were filled with anger and confusion.

He seemed to remember that he hadn't offended the person before him?

Gu Changan didn't care about that and casually retracted Little Black and little shadow.

With a wave, he collected Wu Shouzhuo's corpse into his Storage Pouch, then vanished in a flash.

From the moment he attacked Wu Shouzhuo to the moment he succeeded, it was only about 6 breaths.

Gu Changan moved rapidly toward the south, looking for a secluded mountain hollow.

He casually pulled out his natal spirit treasures, the top-grade mountain suppressing pagoda.

"Little Earth! 3 bedrooms and 1 living room!"

He then smashed the top-grade mountain suppressing pagoda into the ground and used the Earth Evasion Technique to sink underground.

Gu Changan couldn't be bothered with anything else; after everything was properly secured, he put Little Earth away.

Only then did he summon Little Black: "Spit out that soul from just now!"

Little Black was somewhat reluctant but dared not disobey Gu Changan's order.

At this moment, Wu Shouzhuo, having undergone some torture, was rolling on the ground.

Gu Changan had originally intended to devour his soul!

But thinking about his Nine Heavens Divine Soul Art, when absorbing devoured souls, he could only absorb pure Soul Power.

A large amount of Impurities, negative influences, and some memories would all remain in the top-grade thousand soul banner.

Besides, he had just consumed the soul-locking heart fruit, so how could he dare to enhance his Divine Soul again?

If this Wu Shouzhuo didn't behave, it wouldn't be too late to devour his soul later.

In any case, he was now fish on a chopping block and couldn't escape from the top-grade thousand soul banner.

Now Little Black could control him!

Was there any fear that he wouldn't confess?

Gu Changan watched as a rune from the top-grade thousand soul banner appeared on Wu Shouzhuo's forehead.

It seemed that Wu Shouzhuo the Ghost General had finished transforming.

Gu Changan tested him by saying: "Tell me about your background?"

Wu Shouzhuo was extremely unwilling and just about to refuse.

The rune on his forehead began to exert power, and the force spread from his head to his entire body.

Wu Shouzhuo knelt on the ground, repeatedly slamming his head against the floor, but the pain did not diminish in the slightest.

After holding out for a few breaths, he could only begin to beg for mercy.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!"

"I come from the Treasure Pavilion and am a Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper!"

"I am backed by the Wu Family!"

Gu Changan nodded silently: "I believe you have seen it for yourself!"

"You cannot resist me!"

"Answer honestly, and you can suffer less!"

Wu Shouzhuo nodded with a resentful look: "I would like to know why Fellow Daoist attacked me?"

Gu Changan did not like people who couldn't read the situation.

He glanced at Little Black beside him, and Little Black immediately understood.

Wu Shouzhuo collapsed to the ground again, twitching continuously.

His soul became somewhat scattered.

Only then did Little Black stop.

Gu Changan: "You seem a bit unable to read the situation?"

"Now I will start asking you some questions; you can also choose not to answer!"

Wu Shouzhuo endured the pain, looked up at Gu Changan, and then lay back down on the ground with his head lowered.

Gu Changan said in a deep voice: "Tell me how many years you have worked at the Treasure Pavilion?"

Wu Shouzhuo kept his head bowed, but his voice came from below: "I have been in the industry for about forty or fifty years!"

"Ever since I formed the Golden Core Stage, I was promoted to be a Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion!"

Gu Changan asked doubtfully: "Is your status in the Family very high?"

Wu Shouzhuo was suddenly silent for a moment, then continued: "Yes! I am a direct descendant!"

"My grandfather is a Nascent Soul Ancestor!"

Gu Changan awkwardly rubbed his chin, and then he felt numb!

He had just killed a Nascent Soul Ancestor's grandson.

It would be strange if the Nascent Soul Ancestor didn't fly into a rage!

However, Gu Changan was not panicked in his heart!

~ The treasure gathering basin had the effect of concealing heavenly secrets.
