Chapter 154: Chapter 154: He’s Not Worthy (Please Recommend)

Gu Lin couldn’t understand what kind of Love Potion Ling Chen had used to make Elder Liu value him so much.

"It seems that over the years, Elder Liu has been searching for a disciple, and it looks like Ling Chen has already become his disciple!"

Finally, Gu Lin had an epiphany.

Given Ling Chen’s immense Divine Soul talent, it was only right for Elder Liu to value him.

Just then, a series of footsteps sounded.

Gu Ce and Gu Ce looked back to see a lean figure striding towards them.

"Come in."

Ling Chen gave the two a glance and spoke indifferently.

"Yes."

Gu Ce quickly responded.

Gu Lin was just about to stand up when Gu Ce glared at him, forcing him to reluctantly kneel and walk in.

"Elder Liu, you really spoil your precious disciple to the skies! No matter what, I am from the Gu family, and Ling Chen is ultimately an outsider after all!"

Gu Lin was too proud to even greet his own master properly when he saw Ling Chen.

Is Elder Liu not afraid that by taking Ling Chen as a disciple, he’s welcoming a thankless wretch?

"Are the Elixirs ready?"

Ling Chen sat with grandeur on a chair, addressing the two, one standing and the other kneeling.

"Yes."

Gu Ce hurriedly nodded, took a few steps forward, and handed over a Jade Bottle.

Watching Gu Ce’s actions, Gu Lin was stunned, "Wow, Ling Chen is treated too well! Elder Liu personally concocts elixirs for him, and Ling Chen doesn’t even offer Elder Liu a seat?"

Thinking about the harsh beating he received from Elder Liu today and seeing Ling Chen’s treatment, Gu Lin felt unbearably melancholic.

"Is this really a Detoxification Pill?"

Ling Chen opened the Jade Bottle, took out a few Elixirs, and scrutinized them.

He could see that these Elixirs were almost identical to the one he took in the morning.

Ling Chen was somewhat skeptical.

"Hmm, what kind of Elixir is this?"

Gu Lin’s eyes lit up.

Just from the fragrance alone, he knew this Elixir was extraordinary.

"Open your mouth!"

Ling Chen suddenly looked towards Gu Lin.

"Huh?"

Gu Lin hadn’t even responded yet.

In an instant, Gu Ce appeared in front of Gu Lin, and with a "slap" smacked Gu Lin, sending him flying.

"Bang!"

Gu Ce crashed to the ground and looked bewilderedly at Gu Ce, his eyes clearly asking, "Elder Liu, why did you hit me?"

"No."

Ling Chen chuckled bitterly: "I meant for Gu Lin to open his mouth!"

Wasn’t he speaking clearly?

He clearly said to open the mouth, not to slap the face!

Gu Ce gave an awkward smile, dragged Gu Lin over, pinched Gu Lin’s nose and chin, and naturally, Gu Lin’s mouth opened.

"Pfft!"

Ling Chen casually chose an Elixir, flicked it with his finger, and the Detoxification Pill fell into Gu Lin’s mouth.

"Are you feeding a dog?"

Gu Lin was almost bursting with anger.

But when Gu Ce released his hands, a pure medicinal power swiftly surged towards his limbs.

"A third-grade Elixir?"

Gu Lin’s anger dissipated instantly; he quickly sat down and began circulating his Spiritual Technique to refine the medicinal power within his body.

"Detoxification Pill?"

Soon, Gu Lin discovered the domineering aspect of this Elixir.

It actually transported every last trace of residual Elixir toxicity in his body to the surface, then expelled it from his body.

In no time, Gu Lin’s body began emitting waves of foul odor.

This was the leftover toxicity!

"Is it really a Detoxification Pill?"

Ling Chen found it somewhat unbelievable.

He had thought the previous pill he took was fake.

Why were the two so similar, yet their effects so drastically different?

A foul smell spread throughout the room; Ling Chen pinched his nose. Before he could say anything, Gu Ce kicked Gu Lin out of the door, then circulated his Spiritual Power to create gusts of wind that blew the foul smell away.

Gu Lin was completely shocked by the effect of the Detoxification Pill, his heart filled with immense joy.

As for the kick from Grandfather Liu, he felt almost nothing.

"Boom!"

As the poison within his body was expelled along with a substantial amount of Spiritual Energy from the Detoxification Pill, his cultivation level subtly began to breakthrough, loosening the bottleneck that hadn’t moved for a long time.

An hour later, Gu Lin let out a soft whistle.

His cultivation level had astonishingly broken through to the early stage of the eighth level of the Spirit Sea Realm!

Seeing this scene, Ling Chen was also somewhat surprised, he merely wanted this young man to test the pill, but unexpectedly, the guy actually achieved a breakthrough.

He took out a Detoxification Pill and swallowed it as well.

However, unlike Gu Lin, the Detoxification Pill had no effect on him.

Unwilling to accept this, Ling Chen consumed three more pills.

Aside from slightly improving his cultivation level, there was not a single toxin expelled.

"Congratulations, Young Master, congratulations, Young Master, there’s not a trace of elixir residue in your body!"

Gu Ce immediately congratulated him.

Ordinary people who take the Detoxification Pill would definitely expel some poison.

However, Ling Chen, even after taking four pills, showed no signs of expelling any residue, which naturally was a cause for celebration.

Though he had some doubts in his mind, the facts were right in front of him, and he couldn’t help but believe.

Ling Chen looked at Gu Ce, asking, "Are you sure this is a Detoxification Pill?"

Why did he have no effect after taking several pills?

"Sure!"

Gu Ce nodded.

"Show me the pill formula."

Ling Chen found it inconceivable.

"Yes."

Gu Ce hurriedly took out the formula for the Detoxification Pill and respectfully handed it over to Ling Chen.

Ling Chen glanced at it, comparing it with the formula inherited in his memory, and they were exactly the same.

That was strange.

He knew there was residual toxicity in the elixir.

He had consumed the most pills, and it was impossible for no toxins to remain in his body.

It’s said that consuming these pills to enhance cultivation was almost problem-free.

Moreover, during his cultivation, he did not notice anything expelled from his body.

So, where did the toxins go?

Even Gu Ce was flattering like before, and it was obvious that even if asked, he wouldn’t know.

"Alright, you may leave."

Ling Chen waved his hand.

"Yes."

Gu Ce quickly excused himself.

Upon reaching the courtyard, he pulled Gu Lin, ready to leave together.

"Gu Lin, stay behind."

The voice of Ling Chen came out.

"Yes."

Gu Ce’s body stiffened, then he walked outside the main gate.

After all, Gu Lin was his family’s person, and also the most powerful genius; he naturally didn’t want him to die young.

Gu Lin entered the room.

Ling Chen looked at Gu Lin and said indifferently, "Gu Lin, I hope that was the last time you provoke me. If there is a next time, I do not care about Academic Palace rules, I will take your life. Don’t think that having Gu Ce means you can act recklessly in Zhenwu Prefecture?"

Hearing Ling Chen call Grandfather Liu by his name, Gu Lin said incredulously, "How can you be so disrespectful to your master?"

"Master?"

Ling Chen was initially startled, then instantly understood, "Gu Ce? He doesn’t qualify!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Lin was completely stunned.

He had always thought that Ling Chen was Grandfather Liu’s disciple, which was why Grandfather Liu treated Ling Chen so well, even having him come to kneel.

But unexpectedly, Ling Chen didn’t regard Grandfather Liu highly at all!

"Understand?"

Ling Chen’s voice turned cold.

"Understood!"

Gu Lin fully reacted, immediately kneeling to Ling Chen and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Young Master, I will definitely keep this in mind!"

Even a superior Divine Thought Master, the reliance of Gu family, was trivial in front of Ling Chen, let alone him, a middle-tier Divine Thought Master, unless he was seeking death, he wouldn’t dare provoke Ling Chen.

Only then did he understand why Grandfather Liu had made him kneel at Ling Chen’s door!
