"Uh... so much?"
Wu Zhao was shocked by Gu Heng's generosity. He had been thinking that he would be lucky to get one or two of his secret pills, but Gu Heng gave him a whole bottle!
There must be at least ten or so of them here!
"I suspect this kind of elixir is extremely precious. I can't accept so many for no reason."
"What's wrong with that? Master Wu and I get along so well, what's wrong with giving you a bottle of pills? It's not like it's anything difficult to get."
"Besides, Master Wu, you just told me a lot too."
Gu Heng laughed heartily. Although this bottle of pills was indeed somewhat valuable, compared to the information Wu Zhao had revealed, it was nothing. Gu Heng wanted to know everything, and he was willing to exchange pills for this information...
That's a great deal!
Although his alchemy furnace is still at his home in the desolate city, he has a large stockpile of medicine in his system inventory.
"Brother Gu, you are very straightforward. I thank you!"
Since Gu Heng was so straightforward, Wu Zhao didn't bother with formalities and simply took one and ate it.
The moment the pill entered his mouth, just as Yue Ru had said, the corrosive pain caused by the erosion of concepts in his body was indeed filled and healed by this strange medicinal power!
original.
The conceptual erosion within his body was already quite severe, and the days in the Epoch Graveyard felt like years. If he were to go to areas where the erosion was even more severe, he would probably instantly trigger the outbreak of his internal diseases and lose his life! But after taking this pill, not only was the accumulated erosion and corruption eliminated, but it was also eliminated.
He could even feel that there was an extra layer of protection formed by the medicinal power within his body, preventing further corruption from the erosion of concepts!
It's truly an extraordinary elixir!
"Brother Gu, if you need anything in the future, just let me know!"
Wu Zhao raised his hand and clasped his hands in a fist salute, a gesture that was more profound and sincere than any other person he had ever met.
Perhaps, there was also a touch of apprehension and awe...
after all.
Regardless of anything else, the ability to heal the erosion of concepts alone is already an unfathomable skill!
To put it in perspective, in the terms of magical or wizarding civilizations, this conceptual erosion is the most powerful "divine curse" in the world—an incurable one!
However, Gu Heng's elixir can cure this so-called incurable "curse of the gods".
But how did such a person end up in the Epoch Cemetery?
The Epoch Cemetery is indeed a prison, but not just anyone can be put in here. At least Gu Heng has the ability to cure conceptual erosion, so putting him in here is just changing his living environment. There's no need to worry about him dying or disappearing!
Furthermore, with such abilities, how did they even get involved?
Although Wu Zhao found it strange, he still believed that Brother Gu must have some hidden reason and was definitely not imprisoned here.
If he really was exiled, it can only mean that there is definitely a powerful force outside who wants to get rid of him!
Logically speaking...
People like that should be kept at a distance.
Accepting benefits means being entangled in a relationship, establishing a "fate connection," and creating a causal interaction. It's hard to say whether this is good or bad, but when one's strength is insufficient, it's best to avoid getting involved in conflicts between stronger individuals. Otherwise...
At that point, dying would be considered lucky.
There are many fates in the world that are worse than death.
"Then I'll thank Hall Master Wu for his favor!"
Gu Heng smiled; it seemed his bottle of pills hadn't been a waste after all.
If one can make good use of Wu Zhao's connections, he could be a very capable assistant.
……
During these few days of travel.
With the addition of the pills, which deepened their mutual trust, Wu Zhao talked to Gu Heng for a long time during their journey, and the two had a very pleasant chat.
Gu Heng also gained a considerable understanding of the myriad realms and universes.
As for what changes occurred on this journey...
The way other people looked at him seemed a little strange; he wondered what they had heard.
However, they still had no intention of talking to him, so Gu Heng chose to ignore their gazes and maintain a neutral stance.
The third day of the journey.
They had left the abandoned Buddhist site and arrived at a rift valley.
"What is this place?"
Standing on the edge of the rift valley, Gu Heng looked down.
Wu Zhao waved his hand, signaling him to calm down, and then a silver light rose up from below the rift!
Gu Heng found the silver light quite familiar. The appearance of such light meant that this place was definitely related to "space." However, the last time he saw this light was when he fell into a trap and was sent to the Epoch Graveyard...
I have a bit of a psychological trauma. "The concept of spacetime here is relatively stable, so teleportation arrays have been set up here. Our destination is quite far away. If we rely entirely on our legs without any rest, it will take several years or even decades."
"These are all left by our predecessors."
Wu Zhao sighed.
He then ordered everyone to enter the teleportation array, and Gu Heng followed suit.
With a moment of dizziness, Gu Heng found himself in the ruins of a city, which he immediately recognized as a remnant of a civilization.
Judging from the unique architectural ruins surrounding the area, this place should belong to a magical civilization!
"We've arrived at the outpost of the Tomb Beast's lair."
