Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 1048 - 312: [Houseborn Child] (2)

"Primordial Qi is exhausted." Chen Yan struggled to move his lips and managed to utter four words with difficulty.

Gu Tongbing nodded, his eyes somewhat complex and strange: "The Magical Treasure that you used to drive away that guy... does it have a usage limit?"

Chen Yan barely opened his eyes to look at Gu Tongbing.

Gu Tongbing seemed to smile, though his face was not visible, there was a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Now, it seems you can’t take me as a prisoner anymore."

Chen Yan curled his lips, saying nothing.

"Hey! What... do you want to do to him!"

Behind him, the bald man had already struggled to climb up, barely standing there, but his body was noticeably staggering. His chest was stained with blood, but he picked up the broken axe from the ground, pointing it at Gu Tongbing: "You! You want to hurt him?!"

Gu Tongbing didn’t look back, only smiled: "Well, you are quite loyal. He just saved you, and now you’re afraid I’ll harm him?"

As he said this, he patted Chen Yan on the shoulder: "Hang in there, don’t pass out. Give me my stuff so I can save you."

Chen Yan looked deeply at Gu Tongbing.

Gu Tongbing’s gaze was calm: "My ’Sleeve Universe’ Magical Treasure is with you, give it to me, so I can take out the Elixir to save you.

Chen Yan’s eyes moved, taking a deep breath. Although he felt dizzy, he forced himself to bite his lip, took out the ’Sleeve Universe’, and handed it to Gu Tongbing.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll turn on you and kill you?"

Chen Yan barely smiled: "You swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao."

Gu Tongbing sighed: "Sleep peacefully, I won’t harm you."

Chen Yan let out a dry laugh, finally unable to withstand the overwhelming exhaustion, he closed his eyes.

Gu Tongbing opened the Sleeve Universe, after a brief thought, took out a bottle of Elixir, poured a wax pill, cracked it open, took an Elixir out, and placed it in Chen Yan’s mouth, gently squeezing his throat, Chen Yan’s throat moved, and he gulped it down.

Only then did Gu Tongbing feel relieved, put the bottle back in the Sleeve Universe, looking extremely fatigued, he slowly sat down on the ground.

Due to the poisoning situation, he couldn’t use his Mana or Cultivation. Just now, simply taking something out of the Sleeve Universe was already forcibly ignoring his poison wounds, barely squeezing a trace of Mana to use.

Even this small action left him exhausted, and the hidden toxin was triggered, causing faint pain throughout his body.

The bald man staggered over as well.

Having seen Gu Tongbing’s process of saving Chen Yan, he loosened his grip on the axe, while walking, he took out a medicine bottle from his chest, took a healing Elixir for himself, and stopped seven or eight steps away from Gu Tongbing, throwing the medicine bottle to him.

"This healing medicine of mine is good, do you need it?"

Gu Tongbing looked down at it, shook his head: "I appreciate it, but I don’t need it."

Finishing, he tossed the bottle back.

The bald man took a deep breath: "We met by chance, if not for you just now..."

Gu Tongbing chuckled but shook his head, looking at the bald man:

"You rank thirty-nine in the Brotherhood, named Sha Sishi, but actually that’s a fake name. You’re a side descendant of the Shi family in West Border Yuehe City, so you’re actually surnamed Shi, and your real name is Shi Silang.

Because your family declined since childhood, you only got a family cultivation technique from the Shi family’s collateral branch, after gaining something from cultivation, you entered the sect, cultivating all the way to a Second Realm Cultivator.

As a lower-level Loose Cultivator, lacking cultivation resources, and taking the Body Cultivation path, you’re actually suitable to develop at Snow Cliff Pass. In the Evil Land Mountain outside the pass, ordinary cultivators can’t use Primordial Qi and Spells, while as a Body Cultivator, you’re more adept at fighting the Fierce Beast Race.

Later you joined the Brotherhood, ranked thirty-nine, and traveled as Sha Sishi at Snow Cliff Pass."

At this point, Gu Tongbing’s gaze was serene, looking at the stunned bald man, he calmly said: "Am I wrong?"

"..."

The bald man suddenly changed color, stepped back two paces, pointing at Gu Tongbing: "You, who are you?!"

"Who I am isn’t something you should inquire about." Gu Tongbing shook his head: "You’re inherently decent, with respectable combat power as a Body Cultivator, considered a pillar in the Brotherhood, but... your head isn’t quite bright enough, so you don’t catch my eye yet."

Pausing, Gu Tongbing lightly said: "I know you probably won’t accept what I say. But, just as right now, he obviously saved your life, and I’m with him, so logically, neither of us are your enemies.

Therefore, your wariness of me isn’t necessary."

Saying this, the bald man seemed to finally grasp it, but still looked somewhat suspiciously at Gu Tongbing: "You, how do you know so much about me."

"It doesn’t matter. I’m telling you this just to inform you that I know you very well. We aren’t enemies."

As he spoke, Gu Tongbing pointed at Chen Yan: "And he saved you, so naturally, he’s not your enemy either."

The bald man looked with surprise and suspicion at the unconscious Chen Yan lying on the ground — but the current appearance of Chen Yan was the one he used when he went by the name "Zhao Shanhe."

Back when he mingled around Snow Cliff Pass under the name "Wang Chuyi" and joined the Brotherhood, he didn’t use the same face.

So naturally, the bald man couldn’t distinguish the faces.

The bald man hesitated for a moment, finally exhaled: "You’re right. If you meant harm to me, you wouldn’t have saved my life. As for anything else, I have no right to question it."
