After swallowing a detoxification pill himself and feeding another to Xiao Huihui, Zhu Wuneng pulled out a bright red pill from his storage bag.
“Xiao Huihui, look. This is a poison pill refined by our Great Sect Master. It has both color and scent...”
Hearing Zhu Wuneng's description, Xiao Huihui was thoroughly confused.
If it has color and scent, won't the enemy notice it immediately?
Just then, Zhu Wuneng continued, “It has color and scent, but the enemy won't be able to tell it's poison. Most importantly, it can paralyze the enemy's divine sense...”
Xiao Huihui couldn't help but open her beak wide in utter disbelief.
Is it really that powerful?
Zhu Wuneng's boasting voice rang out again. “Back then, our Great Sect Master did it like this. He said, ‘I am standing right in front of you. How much do you think I look like a poison pill?’ ”
As he spoke, Zhu Wuneng first crushed the poison pill, then added the powder into the incense burner and lit it.
“Alright, let's start the pest control...”
...
At this moment, outside Zhu Wuneng's quarters, Chi Ya suddenly frowned. “Strange, why is my Theft Gu dead?”
The several Foundation Establishment stage cultivators beside him were also somewhat puzzled.
“Senior Brother Chi, could that stupid pig have noticed it?”
Chi Ya shook his head. “That shouldn't be possible. With how stupid that guy is, even if the Theft Gu were right in front of his face, he might not even recognize it...”
Hearing Chi Ya's words, the others nodded in agreement.
If this pig weren't stupid, he wouldn't have rejected the 4th-rank Gu worm offered by the Gu King.
“Could there be an issue with the Theft Gu itself?” someone guessed.
Chi Ya nodded. “Let me try again...”
This time, he sent in a 2nd-rank Theft Gu.
A moment later, Chi Ya frowned again. “Dead again!”
Hearing that the Gu worm had died once more, everyone became even more bewildered.
How could this be? The Gu worms died the moment they went inside.
“Could there be some hidden expert staying with that stupid pig?”
“No way! He's just a pig from out of town. Where would he get a hidden expert?”
The group couldn't help but speculate.
Chi Ya pondered for a moment, then said to a young cultivator beside him, “Long Bao, send a Scout Gu inside to take a look...”
“Alright.”
The cultivator named Long Bao agreed. He reached out and released a Scout Gu.
Then, Long Bao began to observe through the Scout Gu's vision.
He found that everything inside was normal—just a quiet little courtyard.
The Scout Gu made its way all the way to the outside of Zhu Wuneng's room.
Long Bao muttered to himself, “There's nothing wrong here! If there really were an expert, they would have discovered the Scout Gu long ago.”
“How is it?” Chi Ya inquired.
Long Bao nodded. “Everything is normal!”
With that, Long Bao continued to control the Scout Gu to investigate.
He carefully guided the Scout Gu as it crawled up to the window.
The moment he saw the situation inside the room, Long Bao's eyes widened.
Through the Scout Gu's vision, he saw Zhu Wuneng sorting out pills.
There was a giant bowl overflowing with various pills. Zhu Wuneng was currently sorting them and putting them into different pill bottles.
My goodness, he had lived for so long, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone hold pills in a giant bowl.
But on second thought, it made sense. After all, the stupid pig's intelligence wasn't something normal people could comprehend.
Just as he was about to control the Scout Gu to take a closer look...
Puff...
The Scout Gu died without warning.
...
“Xiao Huihui, you're living the good life with me. These are all pills given to me by the Great Sect Master. I'll pick out the ones you can use and give them to you...”
After setting up the poison pill, Zhu Wuneng had nothing else to do, so he decided to organize the pills Lu Ming had given him.
At that time, Lu Ming had given him a whole basin of various pills.
Xiao Huihui's eyes widened as she watched Zhu Wuneng pour out another giant bowl of pills from his storage bag.
Over the past few days, she had also learned about the importance of pills from the general knowledge of cultivation Zhu Wuneng had given her.
Pills not only required spiritual herbs, but also the refined techniques of an alchemist.
Yet, watching Zhu Wuneng pour them out bowl by bowl to organize them...
Xiao Huihui had a bizarre sense of deja vu, like a mortal eating a bowl of rice and then asking for another.
She even began to doubt if the general knowledge of cultivation she had read was fake.
...
“Long Bao, what's wrong with you?”
Seeing the shocked look on Long Bao's face, Chi Ya couldn't help but ask.
“Senior Brother Chi, we're rich...”
“Huh?”
Long Bao's sudden, nonsensical remark left Chi Ya and the others completely bewildered.
“Does that stupid pig have a lot of spirit stones?” Chi Ya couldn't help but ask.
“I didn't see any spirit stones...”
Then, Long Bao described the scene he had just witnessed.
Hearing Long Bao's description, Chi Ya and the others looked at him as if they were looking at a fool.
Holding pills in a bowl? Had this guy's brain also gone soft?
“Are you alright?”
Seeing everyone looking at him like he was a stupid pig, Long Bao immediately grew anxious.
“I'm not an idiot! If you don't believe me, see for yourselves...”
Seeing Long Bao's urgent manner, everyone's hearts stirred. Could what this guy was saying actually be true?
Immediately, each of them controlled a Scout Gu and slipped into Zhu Wuneng's quarters.
A moment later, everyone's eyes turned bloodshot, and their breathing became rapid.
Holy crap, let alone anything else, they really were about to hit the jackpot...
Those were bowls of pills! And large soup bowls at that!
However, they still hadn't figured out why their Scout Gu were dying.
Just like Long Bao's, theirs had also died outside the window without any warning.
But that didn't matter. What mattered was that they had to get those pills.
“This time, we'll first release Gu worms to kill that stupid pig, and then use the Theft Gu to steal his storage bag...”
Murderous intent flooded Chi Ya's eyes. As for being discovered and punished by the Gu King...
That was a matter for the future. They had to get their hands on the pills first.
He had clearly spotted pills that could help one break through to the Golden Core stage.
Long Bao and the others also nodded in agreement.
Following that, Chi Ya directly released his natal Black Snake Gu.
The Black Snake Gu was extremely toxic. Those of the same realm who were poisoned by it had virtually no chance of survival...
Watching the Black Snake Gu enter Zhu Wuneng's courtyard, Chi Ya and the others waited with excitement.
Puff...
A moment later, Chi Ya suddenly sprayed out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale, and his aura instantly became sluggish.
“Senior Brother Chi, what happened to you?”
Long Bao and the others were utterly shocked. One had to know that Senior Brother Chi's Black Snake Gu was a 2nd-rank Gu worm.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were absolutely no match for it, and even many two-tribulation Gu worms couldn't compete with it.
“I'm truly baffled. What on earth is inside that stupid pig's place?” Chi Ya muttered as he stuffed a recovery pill into his mouth.
The others were also completely bewildered.
After all, Zhu Wuneng only had a cultivation at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be a match for the Black Snake Gu at all!
“Let's try again. This time, we'll send more in and see what's really going on!” Chi Ya said, looking at the group.
Subsequently, Long Bao and the others controlled a large swarm of Wuhua Scorpion Gu, Poison Ant Gu, and other insects, sending them into Zhu Wuneng's quarters.
Entering the courtyard went very smoothly...
And then, the Gu worms all died.
Zhu Wuneng finished organizing the pills and handed a storage bag to Xiao Huihui.
“These are all suitable for you to eat...”
Xiao Huihui excitedly accepted the storage bag.
She should count as part of the Huaguoshan lineage now, right?
After all, everything she had was given to her by this silly pig. Since this silly pig belonged to the Huaguoshan lineage, then she must belong to it too...
Thinking of this, Xiao Huihui couldn't help but feel thrilled. She was now a bird with a powerful backing!
