Chapter 219 White Cut Black
Xiao Yu had previously paid a high price to order a set of mother-and-child Gu from Boss Wang. It was said that it was used to lock up a woman. He didn't know if it was the woman who had accompanied him to the auction before, and Boss Wang didn't ask much... He only knew that he had never come to pick up the goods.
I heard that his condition had worsened and he looked like neither human nor ghost, and even the emperor was helpless against him.
Even though Xiao Yu paid an expensive deposit for the mother-child Gu, Boss Wang would still lose money if he didn't come to pay the balance. After all, such a sinister and impractical thing was expensive and difficult to sell.
Fortunately, it came today.
And looking at it this way, he still looks so energetic and has such an extraordinary demeanor. How can he be neither human nor ghost?
Even without the Grand Master, it’s not bad to be able to hold on to Xiao Yu as a backer.
Boss Wang respectfully presented two porcelain bottles, one black and one white. "The method of using this Gu is very simple. The black porcelain bottle contains the mother Gu, and the white porcelain bottle contains the child Gu. You take the mother Gu yourself, and give the child Gu to the person who needs to be controlled. The child Gu cannot leave the mother Gu more than ten feet away, otherwise the host of the child Gu will suffer pain all over the body, and the life will be worse than death. This is very useful whether it is for controlling or torturing people."
As Xiao Yu listened, obvious disgust appeared in his eyes.
Boss Wang was a little startled. The last time Xiao Yu came to listen to him talk about the progress of his research on the mother-child Gu, he was so happy. Now he was not interested?
Fortunately, Xiao Yu did not break the contract. He calmly took the porcelain bottle, put it in his arms, and then paid the balance.
"Thank you for your hard work," he said.
"Sure, sure." Boss Wang took the banknote with a smile, then was suddenly stunned. "This, this young master has reached the fifth level of cultivation?!"
Wasn't it just level 3 not long ago? How could it be so fast?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu was also stunned, then smiled: "I didn't expect Boss Wang to have such sharp insight."
"Look at what you're saying." Boss Wang thought he hadn't expected him to be able to tell his level of cultivation, so he smiled broadly, "Although I may not be naturally gifted, I've been through so much hardship for so many years, so I'm pretty good at judging people. I wonder what adventures you've had? How did your cultivation improve so dramatically?"
Boss Wang entered the industry at a very young age and was quite hardworking, but unfortunately he lacked aptitude and could not reach the third level at the age of 30.
Fortunately, he was smart and good at dealing with people, so he built up his business and was doing well in the capital.
"It can't be called a fortuitous encounter. By the way, does Boss Wang have any secret manuals for practicing martial arts moves?" Xiao Yu asked.
"Yes, we have plenty in stock. You can take your time to choose." Boss Wang asked casually, not caring whether Xiao Yu answered or not.
He has no competitive relationship with practitioners. Whoever offers a generous price is his friend.
Now that the Grand Master is dead, he even allows Xiao Yu to go directly into the warehouse to check out the goods.
The warehouse was built underground. In addition to bookshelves full of secret books, there were also magic tools and medicines, and even two sleepy pets were kept there.
Xiao Yu has a very good memory. Although it is not to the level of photographic memory, he can remember most of the content of a book after reading it slowly.
However, he did not get it for free. He flipped through the first few pages of several secret books and made sure that they were suitable for him before accepting them.
Xiao Yu was picking goods in the warehouse, and Boss Wang was also looking at him.
The most important thing for a businessman is integrity. Only integrity can make a business big, and this is also important when choosing a suitable backer.
If Xiao Yu took advantage of the situation in the warehouse, he would not have planned to make close friends with him. Now it seems that Xiao Yu is indeed a partner worth cooperating with.
"Just these few books, pack them up for me. Send the bill to the money shop, and I will have people there to settle the account with Boss Wang." Xiao Yu said.
"Okay, okay!" Boss Wang was delighted and didn't even mention the price. He was so generous.
"But speaking of which..." Xiao Yu suddenly changed the subject, "Many of the magical instruments that the Grand Master used to refine souls in the past were obtained from you, right?"
Boss Wang's smile froze on his face. "Young Master, what are you talking about refining the soul? In the past, the Grand Master often bought goods from me, but as a businessman, I don't know what he did with the goods."
Xiao Yu chuckled and patted the goods on the two wooden cabinets in the warehouse: "If I'm not mistaken, this side is the goods you plan to supply them, and this side is what they left over."
"Sir, you..."
"The Grand Master needs to refine souls, and the magical instruments he needs are mostly containers. If you're not sure, you wouldn't buy so many impractical magical instruments. Instead, you'd buy swords, staffs, and offensive banners that are more marketable." Xiao Yu lightly touched the thin layer of dust on the wooden shelf. "It seems they haven't been here for a long time."
Boss Wang broke out in a cold sweat: "Sir, I really don't know."
He has changed his self-reference from "I" to "little one", and he feels extremely regretful.
How could he have forgotten? This Young Master Xiao was always fair and impartial, famous for his swift and decisive investigations without mercy. If he let him into his own warehouse, wouldn't that expose all his secrets?!
That's not right. The things he bought before were even darker than the Grand Master. How did he change his nature again? Or was he just pretending before?
Bullshit, it’s just a bunch of black people!
"The Grand Master is now guilty of treason. You provided him with the murder weapon, even if you were unknowingly involved. You are an accomplice and are punishable by death," Xiao Yu said. "We've been working together for so long, I won't lie to you any more. Tell me everything you know. As long as the information is useful to me, we can discuss past events."
"But what I know is indeed limited..." Boss Wang then realized that Xiao Yu was not as stupid and rich as he seemed. The money he earned in the past was not enough to cover what he vomited today.
"The Grand Master is dead. You can speak freely and confidently. It's okay if it's just a guess." Xiao Yu found a seat and sat down. "This is the only chance."
Boss Wang was stunned for a while, and finally compromised.
In order to maintain his own store, he has many capable people under him, including many fourth-level physiognomists and several fifth-level bosses, but he still doesn't dare to do anything rashly to Xiao Yu.
Being able to overthrow the Grand Master, the power behind this person must not be underestimated. He might take action at this moment, and a large group of people might come in and overthrow his lair the next moment. Not to mention that with Xiao Yu's skills, he could be taken hostage at any time.
After careful consideration, it is wiser to surrender.
"The Grand Master refines souls in order to collect energy." Boss Wang explained the Grand Master's purpose, but he didn't know as much as Xiao Yu learned from Master Xu Chuchu.
He only knew that the Grand Master needed a lot of energy to resurrect someone, and that the time was approaching, but he had no idea who he would resurrect or what the purpose was.
And as far as he knew, even his chief disciple, Shen Zhaozhi, was unaware of it.
"I know all of this," Xiao Yu said mercilessly. "Think about anything else you've missed. Don't forget, it's much better to tell them now than to be thrown in jail."
"This... is gone." Boss Wang felt a headache. The Grand Master's words were not strict, but they were not as loose as the waistband of cotton pants either.
"Besides these magical instruments, what else has he bought from you?" Xiao Yu thought for a moment, "Or...does he have any enemies?"
