Chapter 209: Chapter 130: You’ve Been Enhanced, Get Going_2

This just means that you can encounter something like this "Ten Thousand Transformation Divine Skill" again which is pretty useless unless you’re at least Little Ji’s level, yet this ordinary Jing Ji practically doesn’t qualify.

Taking "Ten Thousand Transformation Divine Skill" as an example, Gu Shanhai would use such little tricks to transform his strength, as he could use everything from flesh and blood to the soul as nourishment.

However, since he started hanging out with the main character he became a knight of the righteous path, so all these methods are used secretly. There’s no way he’d give them up—they’re too useful, and they have a very legitimate name, called healing spells!

Once they left the city, Little White memorized the map. As a qualified mount, being able to read maps is standard, and that’s not Gu Shanhai’s standard but Amute Green Forest’s. His previous mount, Hurricane Wolf, could read maps and never got lost.

But when Gu Shanhai saw Amute Green Forest teaching Little White this knowledge, he realized one thing: being a mount for the Green Knight is truly tragic. Knights simply require their mounts to be strong and able to understand commands, a deeper understanding between them would be a bonus, but the Green Knight’s mount must be multi-talented.

It’s quite normal though, as the mounts of the Green Knights are actually their animal companions, partners who follow them for life, unlike regular knights, for whom mounts are sometimes just mounts.

"Yo?"

"Are we already being chased? We haven’t been out of the city for half an hour," Gu Shanhai commented.

The meaning from Little White was that the two people from Heaven Sect that they had just passed had followed them. Should they wait for them a bit?

"I’ll calculate." Gu Shanhai suggested making a calculation in uncertain times: "Should we wait for them?"

"Let’s wait a bit then, see what ransom they offer."

There’s a benefit, so Gu Shanhai didn’t mind waiting, as if a player would’ve already triggered a quest by now.

From a distance, they saw a middle-aged man and a woman rushing towards Gu Shanhai’s direction, followed by a group of men in night clothes.

"Ah, this... Could it be that Heaven Sect always wears white and Demon Sect always wears black?"

"Are you guys putting on a uniform show for me..."

Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but comment. He hadn’t felt much before, but now that he compared them, he realized that these outfits were really ridiculous, all in uniform.

"Elder, Elder~" The middle-aged man hadn’t finished speaking when he stumbled and fell, his face slightly pale, obviously poisoned.

But at this moment, there was no time to care about that, he hurriedly said, "Please, Elder, take my disciple back to Heaven Sect, I’m willing to offer a Heavenly Heart Pill as a reward."

After saying this, his condition seemed almost critical.

The men in the back also hurried over, looking at Gu Shanhai warily: "Elder, let’s not interfere with each other’s waters, just hand over these two individuals from Heaven Sect, and we’ll turn around and leave."

"That’s not quite feasible, they offered a Heavenly Heart Pill, what about you? If your offer is better, I’ll hand over the people to you," Gu Shanhai spoke up. He was very fair, siding with whoever offered more since he didn’t know anyone here.

The leading man in black attire grew colder: "I’m giving you face by calling you elder, but offending our Demon Sect, you won’t find a footing anywhere in the martial world!"

Gu Shanhai’s expression darkened, are people so arrogant nowadays? Everyone wants a fair trade, and here you are threatening.

"Great, our deal is concluded, but I have to change the terms," Gu Shanhai said, eyeing the nearly out cold middle-aged man, he grabbed him and casually cast a powerful healing spell to revive him.

This act caused the Demon Sect’s middle-aged man to change his expression, feeling a bit shaky inside. From their perspective, Gu Shanhai expelled the poison with immense True Qi, and his ability to lift people into the air proved his unparalleled strength.

The middle-aged man was completely dumbfounded; just moments ago he saw his deceased master coming to fetch him, and now he was back in a blink of an eye.

And he found himself being lifted in the hand.

"Good, you’ve been enhanced, rush!" He heard a voice next to his ear, and suddenly found himself flying toward the group from the Demon Sect, his face changing drastically.

But the next moment, he felt a surge of strange strength bursting from within him.

Then, not having the luxury to worry, he drew his longsword from his waist and executed a sword technique, releasing True Qi that exploded into flames, frost, and more all at once.

Boom~

The leader of the Demon Sect was caught off guard and was instantly killed by a single stab. After that, he felt a warm current flow from the tip of his longsword into his body, giving him a refreshing feeling that revitalized his spirit, and it seemed like the True Qi he had just expended had returned.

He immediately understood that this was Gu Shanhai’s doing, so he wielded his longsword like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, slashing left and right.

Sword techniques? No need. With his current capabilities, these Demon Sect people were merely touching death.

"Scoundrels, halt!" he roared and chased after them, killing each one completely. His strength had not only increased, but his speed was also unbelievably fast. He didn’t even need to use Qinggong; his speed was many times faster than when he exerted all his effort in Qinggong.

In less than the time it took to brew half a pot of tea, the people of the Demon Sect, who had driven him to desperation with nowhere to run or hide, were all slaughtered by him.

For this, Gu Shanhai expressed that with enough passivity and high enough attributes, techniques and all became irrelevant. Even if your opponent could use subtle movements to shift heavy weights, he would simply counter with thousands of tons. There’s no use trying to deflect that.

"Indeed, using my aura solely as a passive feels like a waste. I should perhaps incorporate some soldier-based Spells or Divine Skills." This was essentially part of Magic Domain, and treating it merely as a passive skill did indeed feel wasteful.

"Thank you, senior." The middle-aged man, feeling the diminishing power within him, felt somewhat unfulfilled.

"Don’t mention it. It’s a straightforward deal — money for goods. Since you’re taking the person back yourself, hand over that Heavenly Heart Pill to me," Gu Shanhai thought that the auspicious sign in his divination must be this Heavenly Heart Pill.

Without any hesitation, the other party took out a wooden box from his coat and respectfully handed it over to Gu Shanhai: "Please inspect it, senior."

As Gu Shanhai received it, he casually asked, "What’s the use of the Heavenly Heart Pill?"

"???"×2

The two from Heaven Sect were bewildered; he really didn’t know what the Heavenly Heart Pill was.

"Improves vision and fosters intellect, with effects that include enlightenment upon consumption. Our Heaven Sect only gets one furnace of eighty-one pills each year," the middle-aged man explained.

Hearing this, Gu Shanhai suddenly didn’t feel sleepy anymore and became alert.

"Really?!"

"Absolutely true, but each person can only consume one pill, the second one won’t have any effect."

"What limits the quantity? The ingredients?"

"That... is a secret of the Heaven Sect and not convenient to disclose," the middle-aged man hesitated before saying reluctantly.

"Alright, then I’ll change the question. Are the Heavenly Heart Pills entirely made from medicinal ingredients?" Gu Shanhai asked again.

"There are also some precious dewdrops mixed with treasures," the other person candidly replied.

"So, you’re saying what actually increases intellect are one or more specific medicinal ingredients," Gu Shanhai realized this was a pleasant surprise.

For him, intellect was something you could never have too much of. At that moment, he suddenly remembered some of the wondrous things in this world, such as Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotuses, Duanchang Grass, and Western Regions Mantruo.

For players, these items were of little use anymore, their attribute boosts too low. But for Gu Shanhai, they were quite good. Cultivating them into Spirit Plants to grow on him would not only grant him extraordinary abilities but also serve as a source of medicinal ingredients, which he could harvest himself once he learned Alchemy.

True self-sufficiency!

"So, your Heaven Sect should have these medicinal ingredients, shouldn’t it?" Gu Shanhai’s demeanor showed a hint of excitement, like he had spotted prey.

The time taken to speak didn’t bother the main character; he had already suffered enough. If he hadn’t suffered, Gu Shanhai might have hurried to rescue him, but now, he might as well continue his miserable state.
