"Look everyone, this is the birth of the Gu King that I have been brewing for 9981 days." The man became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes raised.

“Yeah, I heard that there are very few people who can cultivate a Gu King. It seems that there is no Gu Master who has obtained it.”

"Isn't it? Ever since they were wiped out by the people from the Central Plains, there are still a few people who can cultivate Gu."

"It seems that this is a real master!"

Everyone was talking about him and praising him to the sky.

The man stroked his beard and smiled complacently. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes as he saw Rong Zhen in the crowd walking towards his shop.

"Are you really the Gu King?" Rong Zhen looked at a black insect lying on a leaf. It looked soft and sticky, without any bones, and seemed to be in a bad spirit.

"Of course, you know how hard and difficult it is for a Gu Master to cultivate a Gu, and the one who can win a great victory among hundreds of Gu insects is naturally the Gu King."

The man spoke proudly, afraid that Rong Zhen would not believe him, so he made up some more stories. Everyone seemed convinced, and some even wanted to spend a large sum of money to buy the Gu King, but were interrupted by Rong Zhen.

"Wait, who are you?" Rong Zhen looked at the man who was wearing local clothes but spoke with a hint of Central Plains accent. He didn't look like someone from Miaojiang area, and the insects he displayed didn't seem to be for sale, but to attract everyone's attention.

"I am the great Gu King of Miaojiang. Don't misunderstand the Gu I cultivated. It is unprecedented and unparalleled. One can be sold for tens of thousands of silver coins." The man wanted to continue to deceive people step by step, but he didn't expect that a woman's laughter like a silver bell could be heard from the crowd. This laughter carried a hint of sarcasm, which made everyone's eyes look at the woman behind him.

The woman wore silver jewelry on her head, local Miao clothing, and carried a basket and a sickle on her back. She looked like she had just returned from collecting herbs on the nearby mountains. Her face looked as white as snow in the sunlight, and she did not look like someone who worked outside every day at sunrise.

"I say you are a liar, you are not from here at all, and you dare to use some caterpillars to deceive outsiders." Miao Xiang passed by here and saw a liar boasting here, claiming that he had cultivated some kind of Gu King. She couldn't help but sneer when she heard this. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but her father taught her that if she really encountered some injustice, she had to intervene.

Hearing the liar say that a Gu can be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver, he probably really thought that the people here were fools. It was simply showing off his skills in front of Guan Gong, overestimating his own abilities. Miao Xiang walked forward unhappily, with her hands on her chest. Her plump and fair oval face showed her extraordinary aura, and her eyes were as bright as the stars, as if they contained the stars.

"You! You! What do you know, little girl?" The man panicked and started yelling at Miao Xiang. Miao Xiang sighed and pretended to be calm. She put the things in the basket down and took out a small insect from it. It looked half the size of the insects the man had put out.

"Didn't you say these are Gu? Then I'll try to see how effective they are." Miao Xiang's voice was very clear, just like the sound of a stream, brushing past everyone's ears, leaving endless reverie. Watching the young girl put the green insect in her hand on the table, she didn't expect that after a while, the insect that the man claimed to be the King of Gu was eaten by it.

"You! You? This is the Gu King that I carefully cultivated. How come it was eaten by your bugs?"

"It's very simple, because your Gu is just an ordinary caterpillar, and you still want to show off in public. My insect is the Gu." Miao Xiang proudly and arrogantly placed the insect on the palm of her hand, and after a while it actually crawled into her palm. Everyone gasped when they saw it, as if this girl knew sorcery.

What Rong Zhen hated most in his life was when someone talked nonsense and told lies in front of him. He glanced at the man with a cold and warning look, and the man slipped away before he could pack up.

Miao Xiang clapped her hands in triumph, put the basket on her back, and prepared to leave, but Rong Zhen called her back. "Girl, I clearly saw the bug in your palm just now, how come it disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

"You are talking about my Xiaoqing, it is in my body."

Miao Xiang looked at the man from the Central Plains in front of her. He was indeed handsome and vigorous. She had never seen anyone as good-looking as him before, but he looked cold and serious, giving people a distant feeling.

"Xiao Qing? Is it also a Gu?" Rong Zhen's visit to Miaojiang this time opened his eyes. It turned out that not everyone could use Gu, and even fewer could cultivate Gu. Some famous Gu masters had already been poached by some wealthy families in the city, just to cultivate some Gu that could strengthen the body, not to be used for evil purposes.

"Yes, this is the first Gu I cultivated when I was fourteen. I didn't expect it to be successful. My father said that I still have a talent in this area. But you look like you are here to buy Gu. I advise you that there are too many scammers here. Many of them are not cultivated, but are specially designed to cheat fools like you out of your money."

Miao Xiang is a girl who speaks her mind. She looked at the man in front of her who was standing there like a clay sculpture or a wooden sculpture, his deep eyes looking at her quietly. She felt goosebumps all over at the look in his eyes and didn't know what to do.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just reminding you kindly. And don't follow me anymore, or I'll release my Xiaoqing to bite you!" After saying that, Miao Xiang quickly ran towards the mountain road.

Rong Zhen stood there. Just as he was about to follow to see what was going on, he saw a group of people running away in panic, as if someone was doing something evil on the street. Sure enough, he heard the sound of horse hooves.

When he arrived at the corner of the street, he saw a person wearing a straw raincoat. He couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman. Dozens of men in black suits surrounded her. They forced her into a corner, as if they were going to kill her to silence her.

Rong Zhen watched quietly from the side, wanting to see who the man in the raincoat was. Sure enough, they wrestled into a ball. Everyone took off the man's raincoat hat, exposing a pretty face to everyone. Ding Jin took a look and saw that it was Gongsun Ningxue. Gongsun Ningxue soon couldn't resist. It seemed that she was a little tired after running all the way. However, he was also full of doubts about why she came to Miaojiang.

Seeing a knife about to attack her from behind, Rong Zhen picked up a nearby umbrella and stabbed the man in the chest, causing him to fall into a pool of blood.
