Chapter 461: Chapter 256: Distant Travel, The Richest Man Li in Fucheng_2

As a breakthrough in Divine Skills, as Gu Shanhai grew stronger, the Nine States Instrument could also grow stronger with him, so there was no need to worry about software program development and strengthening causing the hardware to lag behind.

"A bit of a headache," Gu Shanhai rubbed his temples. This time it was indeed tough.

The main issue was the huge difference between the two systems. Gu Shanhai forcefully wanted to merge them together, but it wasn’t that easy.

Despite this, Gu Shanhai didn’t plan to give up. If the difficulty deterred him, then living would also be hard; he might as well be dead.

After handling things, a brand new experiment soon started again. At this stage, he didn’t need to constantly monitor it; he just needed to wait for the program to run.

If the first round went through, Gu Shanhai would then observe. If it didn’t complete, it would prove the experiment failed, and he could switch to another approach. There was no question of probability that if it failed this time, it might succeed next time. What he wanted was a usable quantum computer, not a probabilistic product that might or might not work.

After taking the failed data, Gu Shanhai left the basement. The failed data were also useful, allowing Gu Shanhai to understand where this failure occurred. By continuously absorbing the reasons for failure and overcoming them, success would advance closer.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu..."

In the middle of the night, Gu Shanhai suddenly heard urgent knocking and calls at the door.

He frowned. Who would look for him in the middle of the night?

Initially thinking of ignoring them and continuing to review data, he found that the visitor was persistent. He had no choice but to put away the data and go open the door.

"Coming, coming, what’s the matter?" Gu Shanhai opened the door and saw a person dressed like a house servant looking anxious.

"Mr. Gu, my young miss has suffered a medical emergency. Please come with me to lend assistance," the visitor said without elaboration and pulled Gu Shanhai away.

Gu Shanhai had a good reputation in the area, not only for profound knowledge but also for being skilled in various arts, from exotic techniques to medical principles.

His reputation was even better than Jiang Lu’s.

"Slow down, my old bones can’t handle this rough handling," Gu Shanhai didn’t resist. A trip with him wasn’t a big deal.

For the sake of his reputation, he had treated a few people before, which made him renowned. However, because of personal reasons, he merely used this as publicity and didn’t open a medical clinic.

So, it was improbable for ordinary people to seek his medical services.

In this regard, he also maintained a good balance; otherwise, he would have become an overly generous old man taken advantage of by everyone.

"Mr. Gu, time waits for no one, my apologies." The house servant gritted his teeth and immediately carried Gu Shanhai on his back, running all the way.

Seeing this, Gu Shanhai was somewhat surprised. This house servant was really loyal.

And it was lucky that Gu Shanhai cooperated; otherwise, with his weight, the servant couldn’t have managed.

He could tell that this house servant had probably participated in the Daoist Soldier selection but failed, not meeting the criteria to become a Daoist Soldier. The servant’s physical condition was much stronger than that of an average person.

"Where are you taking me?" Gu Shanhai asked.

"To the Li family, I’m taking you to the Li family," the house servant replied while running without stopping.

"Wow, that’s quite far, we’re entering the city already," Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but scoff. This was outrageous.

He knew the Li family, the wealthiest family in Wen’an City, possessing vast fortunes.

The only pity was that the Li family might have used some unclean methods to gain wealth in the early years, resulting in not having any male heirs for many years, only having this one daughter, which troubled the Family Head a lot.

Regarding this, Gu Shanhai thought, whether this daughter was his biological child was still questionable.

After all, the Family Head of the Li family had taken quite a few concubines. If one wasn’t successful, it might be the woman’s issue, but if none were successful, it would be clear who the problem lay with.

"I mean, Wen’an City is still over a hundred miles from here. Do you plan on carrying me all the way?" Gu Shanhai scoffed.

What a stroke of luck that the house servant was nearly at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, or else any ordinary person might have posed a great trouble.

"The horse is too slow, not as fast as me, otherwise, by the time you arrived, the young miss would have already succumbed," the house servant said bluntly.

Gu Shanhai thought this guy really lacked emotional intelligence, he could at least try to butter him up a bit, not just expect him to save the day without any preamble—it’s not like they were old friends.

Besides, Gu Shanhai felt that the idea probably originated from the servant himself rather than the Li family actually sending someone to seek help; otherwise, asking someone for a life-saving favor in such an unreliable manner would be unlikely.

The house servant had carried Gu Shanhai over a hundred miles, the young man’s physical condition was impressive.

He might even make a fierce warrior; Gu Shanhai wondered if he could be persuaded to leave with him.

Low emotional intelligence and bluntness didn’t matter as long as he was obedient and could fight.

"Excuse me, I’ve brought Mr. Gu, he will surely save the young miss," the house servant shouted as they reached the entrance of the Li Mansion.

Gu Shanhai was somewhat surprised as well, it was so late already, yet they managed to enter the city, showing the Li family’s significant influence in Wen’an Prefecture City, otherwise how could a mere servant bring someone in.

The gate-keeping servant saw them and his eyes widened, then he hurriedly cleared a path.

They proceeded along this path.

"Li Jiu? You... who is this?" Li Yu saw the house servant Li Jiu hustling back and noticed the man he was carrying, which raised his curiosity.

"This is Mr. Gu, a reputable figure from Cansang Village. There was a person whose internal organs were bitten and torn open, practically on death’s doorstep, but it was Mr. Gu who saved him. His medical skills are excellent; he can definitely save the young miss," House servant Li Jiu set down Gu Shanhai and quickly explained.

Seeing this, Li Yu seemed to grasp at a life-saving straw and hurried over to shake Gu Shanhai’s hand, "Mr. Gu, I beg you to save my dear daughter, she..."

"Let’s cut the pleasantries and look at the patient first; you can thank me later, after I’ve saved her," Gu Shanhai smoothly withdrew his hand.

By the looks of it, Li Yu was desperately turning to anyone for help; otherwise, why would he Believe in Gu Shanhai?

Gu Shanhai was somewhat known in Cansang Village but hardly recognized in the city.

"Come this way, Mr. Gu. You came so hurriedly you didn’t even bring your medicine box, but I’ve had the servants prepare one for you," Li Yu led the way and quickly took Gu Shanhai to his daughter’s boudoir.

As soon as Gu Shanhai entered, he sensed something amiss.

’Divine Skills’ capabilities?’ Gu Shanhai frowned.

"Did you notice something, sir?" Li Yu also sensed the issue and promptly asked.

"A little, but haven’t concluded yet," Gu Shanhai naturally didn’t bluntly speak, it was just a speculation at this point.

Next was the process of looking, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse, though Gu Shanhai usually didn’t bother; a glance was often enough for him.

"She indeed hasn’t got much longer to live."

After examining, Gu Shanhai immediately concluded.

The problem was poisoning, and not just any ordinary toxin but an extraordinary poison from some Taoist Soldier, though luckily, she had contracted only a trace, which is why she had lasted till now, otherwise, she would have died long ago.

"???" Li Yu was baffled, first meeting and declaring death wasn’t very pleasant; he even felt like strangling Gu Shanhai.

"Good thing I arrived early. Any later by half a ’two hours’, and Mr. Li, you’d be preparing a coffin," Gu Shanhai added.

These words caused Li Yu’s blood pressure to spike again, but he managed to suppress it quickly; it meant Gu Shanhai could save her.

"Do you want to recuperate slowly or quickly," Gu Shanhai lazily asked.

"Quickly, the quicker, the better," Li Yu said without hesitation. At this stage, how could they go slow? As for Gu Shanhai’s eccentricities, he could only attribute it to the quirks often found in remarkable individuals.
