Chapter 273: Chapter 162: Trouble, The Medicine is Too Strong_2
"Guess that’s out of the question, huh. If it weren’t for a little glitch in my Summoning Skill, sigh." Heavenly Immortal Drunkard had figured out over the years that those who had given him friendzone cards, promising to become his cattle and horses in the next life, had actually turned into the cows and horses in his summonings. If they were just ordinary cattle and horses, he surely would have summoned them as mounts by now, perfectly suitable for him and his wife, one for each of them.
Now he had also perfected plenty of the flaws in the Cow and Horse Summoning Technique.
"Keep up on your own, don’t fall behind," Gu Shanhai said, and patted Little White, who immediately trotted through the air, vanishing from the couple’s sight in the blink of an eye.
"They can fly? Damn, he didn’t say where the Fan Family is." Heavenly Immortal Drunkard’s expression shifted wrong, obviously feeling like he was being ditched.
"Should we follow?" White Cloud crumbled, asking. They could track them down, but it was clear the other party wasn’t waiting for them.
"No need, he must have a plan. If it’s going to trigger a hidden or main quest, it’s shared anyway. Let him go," Heavenly Immortal Drunkard massaged his temples, ultimately holding his tongue.
For a top-tier player like him, he knew it was best not to interfere unnecessarily; it could backfire and be a drag.
Before thirty seconds had passed, Gu Shanhai’s voice suddenly popped up in their minds.
"What’s the situation with you two, how come you didn’t keep up, I’m already here."
The couple exchanged glances, seemingly misunderstanding the situation.
"We don’t have a ride, you have a stag to fly you, we don’t," Heavenly Immortal Drunkard mentally complained.
"Damn, if you didn’t know the place, you should’ve said something earlier. I thought you two got lost," Gu Shanhai quickly sent them the location through their telepathic link.
He remembered to check if the couple had night vision but hadn’t expected them to be unable to keep up, which was pretty awkward.
As players, even if you don’t have flying skills, you should at least have acceleration skills.
After reaching first, he didn’t wait for the couple but had Little White keep watch while he boldly sneaked into the Fan Family’s home.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want Little White to come in; it’s that Little White couldn’t fit—its body was bigger than the Fan Family’s house, let alone the door.
Once inside, he saw it was stark and empty.
His movements were still light, and at the very least, he didn’t wake anyone up.
To ensure safety, Gu Shanhai took out a paralysis potion with the flavor of Stir-Fried Green Pepper and Beef - a level 1 potion that, after consumption, caused full-body paralysis, similar to the effects of the Blood Barrier Pill. The effect was decent; it was just something Gu Shanhai had concocted for fun.
He took the potion and stuffed it directly into Fan Shi’s mouth. Fan Shi woke up with a start, but Gu Shanhai pinned down his limbs and nose and ears.
Don’t ask how he could do so much with just two hands; it was mainly because he had a lot of plant roots to help him.
"Mmm~"
The level 1 paralysis potion had just hit the stomach, and no matter how fast, the effects had to wait until digestion and absorption. Even though Gu Shanhai sped up the process, it still took time, mainly because he hadn’t further developed the level 1 paralysis potion. Why should he develop something he concocted for fun.
"Don’t move, otherwise when my people come over, I’ll let them play something thrilling with you," Gu Shanhai whispered a warning, and then the other party really stopped moving.
It wasn’t out of fear but because the paralysis potion had taken effect. The person was completely immobile and began frothing at the mouth.
"The drug is too strong for an ordinary person to bear..." Seeing this scene, Gu Shanhai also felt a bit helpless. Even if the paralysis potion wasn’t a serious pill, it was made with level 3 Spirit Plant ingredients, a type of poison pill. The raw materials combined plant toxins with nerve and blood toxins. Even if its potency was reduced after being fried and cooked, Gu Shanhai had still used alchemy to condense it into a proper pill.
So, with one pill, the person was paralyzed and could not move, but seemed to be on the brink of death.
Gu Shanhai pondered whether to cast a healing spell on him so he wouldn’t actually die.
Just as he was preparing to do so, he heard noise outside; clearly, Heavenly Immortal Drunkard and White Cloud had arrived.
Just in time, he thought, perfect for them to take over.
The two had just entered when they saw Fan Shi foaming at the mouth, his expression a bit strange.
"You two arrived just in time, who has healing skills? Hurry and give him a wave of treatment, I think he’s about to not last much longer," Gu Shanhai hurriedly said.
Upon seeing this, Heavenly Immortal Drunken Fury also cast an unknown healing skill, which made Fan Shi a little better, but just a little.
"Is it a negative status, I suspect poisoning, should I detoxify him?" Heavenly Immortal Drunken Fury asked.
"No need, the poison is mine. His level and attributes are too low, he took the full damage and was nearly a goner," Gu Shanhai sighed. Of course, he understood what Heavenly Immortal Drunken Fury meant—he was asking if it was to cover up a murder, so Gu Shanhai explained.
"Want to try? It’s my special recipe, green pepper and pork flavor," Gu Shanhai pulled out two.
Neither dared to reach out and take one, this thing was indeed weird.
Seeing this, Gu Shanhai could only put them away, then he took out a thick hemp rope from his chest, tied up Fan Shi, and hung him upside down.
"Your consciousness should be clear now, next, I will allow you to speak. I ask, you answer."
"To make the game a bit more thrilling, I will blindfold you and cut your wrist. Either answer my questions before your blood runs dry, or just wait for death."
"Of course, you can also scream. Then I might just chop off your third leg before I take off."
Gu Shanhai was not a big villain, he did what he said, and he was very skilled at this. As for cutting the wrist, it was definitely fake, just a scare with the experiment of a death row inmate’s dripping blood.
He mildly scraped his wrist and found a drip tube to simulate the sound of falling blood levels, which scared Fan Shi quite a bit.
"Alright, let’s begin. The first question, why did you refuse when the Xuanwei Sect originally wanted to recruit you?" Gu Shanhai’s first question puzzled both Heavenly Immortal Drunken Fury and White Cloud.
"I... I was just bragging, I only chatted with a passing Xuanwei Sect disciple," Fan Shi hurriedly said.
"..." For a moment, Gu Shanhai didn’t know what to say, and he felt like stabbing this guy to death.
"Okay, what was the Xuanwei Sect disciple passing through for? Where was he going?" Gu Shanhai asked again.
"To the Yun Niang Temple, escorting something to the temple priest. I don’t know anything more," Fan Shi blurted out in panic, fearing Gu Shanhai would not be satisfied.
"What’s the origin of Yun Niang Temple, and why is it associated with the Xuanwei Sect?"
"I don’t know, I really don’t know that,"
"Is that so? It seems you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin. Wait until I pull down your pants; you’ll understand," Gu Shanhai said with a nasty tone.
"Wait, I’ll talk, I’ll talk. I heard from Yu Niang that it seems to be a painting, hidden away by the temple priest. What it’s of, I don’t know," Fan Shi chilled at the thought of being stripped; something terrible might happen, so he could only tell the truth.
After that, Gu Shanhai turned to glance at his two teammates, indicating, who is Yu Niang?
"Yu Niang is the girl adopted by the temple priest," White Cloud knew a bit and explained.
"Oh, is there another girl called what?" Gu Shanhai inquired curiously.
"Another? No, there are only the temple priest and Yu Niang in the Yun Niang Temple, no third person," Fan Shi was startled at first, and then he said this.
"Could it be a lodger? That’s even stranger. Why would someone need to lodge in the temple when there’s a town nearby?" Gu Shanhai was puzzled.
"Impossible, Yun Niang Temple has never had a tradition of lodging or staying over, and it’s even less likely that Yu Niang would bring people there," Fan Shi’s voice became slightly sharp.
"It seems we might have found a clue," Heavenly Immortal Drunken Fury smiled, only to say that a great god is indeed a great god, who could find the key detail just by going out for a stroll.
