Chapter 50 I am a student, pay and send me

Ning Mingmei sat in Gao's mansion. The sun and the moon alternated, casting long shadows on him through the window lattice.

From the return to the midnight.

When midnight arrived, the two disciples in the next room who had been cursing angrily stopped. They calmed down for a moment and then began to sob.

Joy and anger have passed, and the sorrow of the seven emotions has arrived.

At Chou time, Ning Mingmei left Gao's house alone. Before leaving, he asked his disciples to gather in the main hall, set up a formation, and told them not to go out.

Eleven became anxious and asked to go together. Ning Mingmei stopped him with just one sentence.

Ning Mingmei: "There will be a new group meeting in the morning three days later. It seems that you are well prepared."

Eleven: ...wilted.

How do you go out to do field research and hold group meetings?

He got rid of the burden and gained four disciples who were dedicated to academic studies. Ning Mingmei felt refreshed, it was a win-win situation.

In a battlefield of the Spirit Transformation Stage, why are a few people in the Foundation Establishment Stage joining in the fun? Don't let him spend effort to protect them.

The system asked him: "What are you going to do if you go there alone?"

Ning Mingmei said, "Gui Ruoxue is not very good at writing programs, and he has not passed the CET-4 or CET-6, and he has no publications. But he is okay at making medicines, and he should have learned the basics well, with a GPA of 4.0. He has experience in doing experiments by himself, and has several scientific research and work experiences. I can barely accept him. Since he did not go through the tenure track of Qingyutan and Minghuagu, and did not get a tenured position after changing two schools, I will let him be a postdoctoral fellow in my lab, so that he can make up for his crime and make meritorious contributions. It is not unfair to him."

A Jindan graduate student, a Yuanying doctor, then the Huashen period is just a postdoctoral fellow.

System: "But he has a vicious mind..."

Ning Mingmei: "He got the chance to be on the tenure track twice at a world-renowned university, but he didn't take it. He was kicked out of school halfway through because he was forced to move up or leave. It's normal for such a person to have a dark mind."

Something is wrong. The system almost spurted blood.

What I'm asking is what you plan to do to him. What I'm asking is whether you think you can handle Gui Ruoxue.

It would be fine if we just wanted to kill him, but from what Ning Mingmei said, he wanted to capture him alive?

You are all in the God Transformation Stage. How dare you?

But it is better to be calm and relaxed. The system recalled the scenes it had seen in the ruined temple, and felt a little more fearful, so it did not ask.

Just wait and see.

However, the system finally decided to remind Ning Mingmei of another thing: "There is another person following you. He has not yet cultivated."

Ning Mingmei looked straight ahead and said, "He's just the hero. If he dies, he dies."

Behind the stone lion, the little boy was holding a self-defense tool and biting his lip.

He was a little scared.

But once Ning Mingmei's figure in a green robe appeared in his eyes, he seemed to have an inexplicably firm belief again. Force yourself to climb up.

Ning Mingmei asked: "Why, you don't want to shock me now?"

System: "...Now that you are about to go up the mountain to fight, it is like going to die. Should I still shock you at this time?"

Ning Mingmei: "Give it a shock, it will make your mind clearer."

Ning Mingmei was shocked with an expressionless face. He pretended not to notice the little boy, and walked north in a refreshed and leisurely manner.

This night the moon was obscured by dark clouds. The cold moonlight passed through the gaps in the clouds and fell on the pale stone slabs.

On both sides of the stone road, the houses were dark and no one was inside.

The dilapidated temple stood on the low northern mountain. Beishan is desolate and remote, just a small dark dot on the mountain ridge.

It exudes a sinister and ominous aura from afar.

From here, we will go up the mountain.

Ning Mingmei walked up the mountain. On the way, he finally saw the townspeople whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

They lay in a disorderly manner, as if they had fallen asleep.

System: "Do you want to check their breath?"

Ning Mingmei: “No need.”

Their life or death has nothing to do with him.

Ning Mingmei was not in a hurry to enter the temple. It was very dark in the dilapidated temple, with only the moon casting some light. Not far away, under the statue, a man in green clothes stood there with his back to him, staring at the statue.

The man had waist-length black hair that was only tied up at the end. The blue color looked empty on his body, and the fingers exposed between his sleeves were languid.

This man has an aura that makes him look like a piece of jade. It looks warm, but the cold light it emits is extremely cold.

This person is Gui Ruoxue.

A specialist in poisons, the former deputy master of Minghua Valley.

System: "Be careful. Gui Ruoxue is staring at the statue, and she must be thinking."

Ning Mingmei: "He was just thinking about how his perfect program was ruined by me. It is obvious that Gui Ruoxue does not have a mature program design idea. She did not go through a testing cycle. In order to recover the stock price that fell to the limit due to the loss of the medicine beads, she directly listed the stock in an attempt to stop the loss."

Just like some AAA game studios.

Ning Mingmei stood at the door without giving his name. Until the person turned around, the moonlight reflected a slender face.

It seemed like he was smiling warmly, but his eyes were indifferent.

"Master Ning Feng." said the man.

"Master Gui." Ning Mingmei said.

Between the two sentences, both parties have expressed their sincerity.

——Find out each other’s background.

There is no need to say more between wise men. Gui Ruoxue smiled slightly: "I passed by Wangyue Town to collect folk songs. Originally, I came to retrieve the token I left at Gao's house. Who knew that the token was taken away, so I had to resort to this last resort. Master Ning Feng must not know that the poison in those two disciples is called 'Seven Emotions Powder'. After seven days of experiencing the seven emotions, on the seventh night, the souls are separated..."

Ning Mingmei interrupted him and asked, "Did you make this poison that can control emotions?"

Gui Ruoxue said, "Of course."

Ning Mingmei said, "Interesting. This is the first time I've seen a poison with this kind of effect. It seems that Master Gui is very good at making medicine and is quite creative. Most poisons made by the world only cause people to have their intestines pierced and their stomachs ruptured. Master Gui's medicine can generate emotions and act on the soul. In terms of pharmacology, it is a completely different development direction. At the same time, it has gone through seven kinds of emotions, which not only adds to the actual lethal effect, but also reflects the researcher's sense of ritual."

When he said this, Gui Ruoxue looked at him in surprise.

The world only thinks that Gui Ruoxue is an evil cultivator and Qingyutan is an evil sect, and they wish to kill them both first. The poisons they make are often referred to as "evil and devious".

But after hearing the name of the medicine, the sword immortal not only did not show disgust, but instead began to comment, although there was no emotion in his objective tone. But to Gui Ruoxue, this objectivity was full of praise.

"The medicine in the Qingyu Altar is naturally extraordinary." Gui Ruoxue took out a small jade bottle from her sleeve, "This bottle contains the antidote for the Seven Emotions Powder. The two poisoned disciples should take it once a day in the morning and evening. After three days, the poison will be resolved."

The small jade bottle reflected the moonlight and emitted a radiant glow.

Ning Mingmei didn't ask, Gui Ruoxue said, "Master Ning, rest assured. I, Gui Ruoxue, will keep my word. Since I'm here this time, there's no reason for me to lie to you. This medicine is naturally the real antidote."

In addition to this small jade bottle, Gui Ruoxue took out another thing from her sleeve: "This jade bottle contains pills for calming the mind and spirit. It has a miraculous effect on suppressing inner demons and relieving emotions. It is a gift from me and Peak Master Ning to make amends. If Peak Master Ning needs it, you may as well accept it without worry."

Pills that can suppress inner demons are extremely precious in the world of immortal cultivation. Even for the powerful ones, they are in short supply!

Xiang Wuxing, one of the four permanent leaders of Qingji Sect, once spent a huge sum of money to seek a pill that could suppress his inner demons.

This is also the only thing that he, as the "Supreme Martial Artist" of the Qingji Sect, really needs.

The system reminded Ning Mingmei: "Host, this is really a good thing! It will be helpful for you to break through the realm!"

Ning Mingmei practices the ruthless way. What the ruthless Dao fears most is having inner demons and breaking the Dao heart. Gui Ruoxue's gift for peace talks was full of sincerity.

Ning Mingmei said to the system: "It does sound like a good thing."

System: “Yes.”

Ning Mingmei: "However, I want to practice to ascend to heaven. Taking only a few pills is not enough, right? If I take it regularly, will the effect be better?"

?

That evil feeling came back.

It’s just a small bottle, but the elixir condensed inside is enough to make any cultivator lose his mind. Gui Ruoxue's willow-leaf eyes were fixed with a calm and clear mind.

After a while, he said, "I heard that Master Ning Feng practiced the Way of Ruthlessness. Now it seems that it is true."

He heard the green-clothed immortal's expression indifferent: "Master Gui is indeed very sincere."

The immortal shook his sleeves, and a clear yellow medicine bead appeared in his palm.

Gui Ruoxue took one look at the medicine bead and couldn't take her eyes off it.

Twenty years ago, he experimented and created five recovery beads. The one left for the Gao family is of the worst quality and is just right for testing medicine.

As for the remaining four, some fell in Minghua Valley, and some fell in Qingyu Altar. Although the rest are also in the hands of people who are testing the medicine, none of them are as close as the one in Wangyue Town.

However, the one in Wangyue Town suffered some damage. Gui Ruoxue's mind suddenly changed, she understood a little and sneered.

Never mind, refining it and making medicine again will be enough to treat his current injuries.

The immortal said, "I am quite curious, what is the name of this medicine bead? It was left by Guitan Master to the Gao family. Is the method of gathering yang and replenishing yin also left by Guitan Master to the Gao family?"

It turns out that the damage to the Recovery Pearl was caused by this.

Gui Ruoxue sneered: "This bead is called the Recovery Bead. It is made from Qilin bone marrow and many herbs. I didn't expect the Gao family to use this bead in this way. No wonder my things were damaged."

oh?

"The old man from the Gao family said that he was willing to exchange his life for another. This bead can transfer the life span between the two of us, so I gave it to the old man to fulfill his love for his son." There was no kindness in Gui Ruoxue's eyes when she said this, only arrogance, "However, the characteristics of the recovery bead mean that it can only be used between women and women, or between men and men. The old man is taking yin to replenish yang, which is against human ethics, and Gao will become something that is neither female nor male. It's all his own fault to end up like this. Humph..."

I see.

What they needed was now in each other's hands. Now it looks like the deal is going to be done.

It would be a fair trade.

The immortal held the medicine bead with his slender white fingers. Suddenly, he said, "Master Gui, I don't know why, but now it seems that between you and me, you are the one who is more eager for this transaction."

Gui Ruoxue: “Oh?”

"Master Gui was seriously injured, right? Perhaps I shouldn't call you Master Gui, but former Master Gui." Ning Mingmei said, "Now that the Qingyu Altar is in rebellion, you are anxious to use this bead to heal your wounds and go back to take back your position as the altar master, right? If you lose this medicine bead..."

He turned the medicine bead in his hand for a few times and said, "You don't want the usurper of the Qingyu Altar to know that you are seriously injured, right?"

Gui Ruoxue stared at him and smiled: "When was I seriously injured? You know, I love traveling, this has never been a secret."

Ning Mingmei said, "No way. I heard that Master Gui, you had a big fight with the Minghua Valley's dark and bright departments before you passed away. One person was fighting against dozens of people. Master Gui went there to buy a special furnace to test medicine, didn't he?"

In order to obtain experimental materials, he was willing to be beaten. Ning Mingmei said this and felt that he needed more and more people with academic spirit like Gui Ruoxue.

Gui Ruoxue pursed her lips, and her eyes gradually revealed seriousness and ruthlessness.

The fierce fight between the Anbu and Mingbu in Wangsheng directly exposed the internal strife in Minghua Valley and revealed that Gui Ruoxu was no longer able to restrain the increasingly powerful Anbu.

Wang Sheng is a businessman and doesn't want to get involved in such secret underworld gossip, so he has blocked all news about it long ago.

Those who can be reborn are all prominent people. Naturally agreed.

This matter is a secret even in Minghua Valley. How did Ning Mingmei know about it?

Moreover, the fact that he purchased the furnace for testing medicine was an absolute secret known only to him. But Ning Mingmei said it so easily, as if his information came to him effortlessly.

He spoke as if he had seen the scene!

And even if they knew he was involved in the fight, how would he know he was seriously injured?

After all, when Anhua used that vicious palm during the chase, he was caught off guard.

This is definitely not what Minghua Valley should have done.

"Gui Ruoxu has also abandoned you, right? He treats you as a discarded pawn." Ning Mingmei's next sentence made his eyes stunned, and his originally fierce eyes were filled with some unspeakable emotions.

Ning Mingmei captured this point.

Sensual.

Something that puts that person at a disadvantage when confronting absolute rationality.

"It seems that you can't withstand the pressure from the Anbu? After all, Minghua Valley is the third largest immortal sect in the world. If it splits into two factions and goes downhill, it will never be able to rise again. The thousand-year inheritance of Minghua cannot be destroyed in his generation. Minghua and Anhua sent people to hunt you down together, didn't they?" Ning Mingmei said, "You want this medicine to heal your injuries. And also to avoid being caught up by them. And..."

"We are all righteous sects. Master Gui doesn't want me to reveal your whereabouts to the Qingji Sect or even the Minghua Valley, right?"

Gui Ruoxue looked at him coldly.

"It seems that Master Ning is more insightful than I thought." He said slowly, "Master Ning is not as ignorant of worldly affairs as the rumors say."

Ning Mingmei said, "Let's talk business. I came here to discuss business with Gui Tanzhu. Now I am saying all this for the sake of this deal."

He shook the medicine bead in his hand and said, "Master Gui, if you want to make a deal, take it back. The current trading conditions are not fair enough."

Before making a transaction, it is important to determine who is Party A and who is Party B.

Those who need it most are the ones who are most at a disadvantage.

Who wouldn’t eat meat that’s served to your door?

Therefore, it is inevitable that others will ask for exorbitant amounts of money.

Gui Ruoxue sneered now, with anger and anxiety in her eyes, as if she had been seen through: "What do you want?"

What price do you want?

Ning Mingmei: "I want the medicine beads. I also want all the elixirs you have. I'm a student, please pay and mail them to me."

Gui Ruoxue: ...

The system hidden in Ning Mingmei's brain: ...

Ning Mingmei is like an insatiable, evil tabby cat.

He has already eaten the can, but he still meows and curses at people for more cans.

Also, I can’t sell it to you even if you are a beast!

It seemed that Gui Ruoxue's temper was on the verge of exploding. Ning Mingmei pushed his glasses and suddenly smiled.

"It seems that Master Gui's heart in doing business is not very sincere." He said, "I originally came here to discuss this deal sincerely."

"Oh? You mean, if I'm sincere enough, I should accept your price, right?" Gui Ruoxue said.

Ning Mingmei looked towards the small courtyard leading to the statue.

"If Master Gui is sincere, then what is the purpose of the silver needle trap set in the courtyard?"

He swung his sword towards the sky. The dark clouds that obscured the moon were blown away by the strong wind. Under the bright light, several silver needles in the courtyard that were covered by magic sparkled.

Why did Gui Ruoxue choose the Chou hour?

Because that is the time when dark clouds completely cover the moon.

Gui Ruoxue didn't intend to just make one deal here from the beginning.

He wanted to trap Ning Mingmei here with the traps he set up.

Gui Ruoxue narrowed her eyes and pulled her hands out of her sleeves. Between her white fingers, there was a thin silk thread.

"Really?" He said in a slow and soft voice, "Master Ning Feng, it seems that our negotiations have broken down now."

However, even in the original design, there must be a battle between them.

Of course Gui Ruoxue would give the antidote to the disciples of Qingji Sect. If they were ordinary disciples, it would be fine, but these two were disciples brought up by the peak master himself.

Before he returned to the Qingyu Altar, he didn't want to create any more trouble or make any more enemies.

But Ning Mingmei - he had to be caught and trapped for a few days until Gui Ruoxue took the medicine, recovered, and left safely.

Gui Ruoxue would never leave an obstacle that is as powerful as herself in an uncontrollable place.

But what he saw on Ning Mingmei's face now was that there was no trace of anger at being fooled.

"Let's not talk about the silver needle trap for now." Ning Mingmei pushed his glasses and said, "I have another question——"

"Did you make that gooseneck flask?"

But he didn't expect that after asking this question, Gui Ruoxue actually burst into laughter in her anger.

"Why, I revived such an evil thing that is hated by the righteous people. Do you feel scared?"

The author has something to say:

Ning Mingmei: Evil flask?
