I Am Only Mortal But Why Do You All Sees Me As A Immortal!

Chapter 60: Two Treasure Banks

They originally thought that this mortal medical method could only heal their superficial injuries at best, but now, Xiaoyu's internal injuries have completely healed, which is really... unexpected.

"Thank you, Master Gu. If it weren't for you today, Sister Mu and I would be in great danger."

Xiaoyu said sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu also nodded in thanks.

Indeed, if Gu Heng had not taken action, the two of them would have died tonight in the south of Yunling City, and given Qingfeng Baoxing's style of doing things, they probably wouldn't even have a complete corpse left.

Gu Heng waved his hand and said calmly, "It's just a piece of cake."

It had been a long time since he had done such a thing as helping others when he encountered injustice. Today he did it again after a long time, and he killed someone with poison. Gu Heng still felt a little excited.

He thought that with the help of the system, he could become a monk and reach the pinnacle, but the system disappointed him too much. He was only in his early twenties, but his spirit had been worn down by the system. It was impossible for him to pursue the heights he expected in this lifetime.

But even as a mortal, my life is not always smooth sailing.

Coming to this world, it is impossible not to see blood. Gu Heng has done it himself before.

It can only be said that the only thing that could cause a stir was that he killed a monk in his mortal form.

"Speaking of which, where did you two come from, and why were you being chased by those people?"

Gu Heng suddenly asked.

He couldn't help but become interested in the secret behind this.

These two women were being chased by a group of killers so late at night. He didn't believe that there was no story behind it.

Xiao Mu and Xiao Yu looked at each other, and finally Xiao Yu, who looked older, pursed her lips and said, "We are the maids of the president of Yunling City Jinhuang Treasure Shop. The people who are chasing us are assassins raised by Qingfeng Treasure Shop."

Hearing two familiar names, Gu Heng's eyes moved slightly.

In Yunling City, only the Lu, Yun and Yan families are considered to be the most powerful. But in fact, there are two other forces, and Gu Heng is not included in them.

They are the Golden Phoenix Treasure Company and the Green Wind Treasure Company.

These two treasure houses are the big businesses that have been competing for the market and the top spot in Yunling City.

Although they are just merchants, they should not be underestimated. After all, money makes the world go round. This kind of business involving treasures can be done by both mortals and monks, and no one is left out.

It is said that the power of these two treasure houses is much greater than that of the Riyan Dynasty. The one in Yunling City is just a small branch, but even so, they are still a well-deserved powerful force in the city.

People don't even bother to open a branch in a small place like Aoki City.

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Heng thought that there might be a fierce conflict between these two treasure houses.

The president of Jinhuang Treasure Shop sent his maids out, and they were chased by assassins from Qingfeng Treasure Shop late at night... These two girls must have gone to sniff out business secrets!

Want to silence someone.

Stealing someone's wealth is almost the same as killing their parents.

Gu Heng thought that the business wars in this world were really simple and plain, and then he heard Xiaoyu say, "Mr. Gu, do you have any questions?"

He was stunned, not noticing that Xiaomu and Xiaoyu had seen the full look of interest on his face, which was almost overflowing.

He coughed lightly and said, "I don't have any questions, I just want to ask, are they chasing you because of some secret you found out?"

When this was mentioned, a hint of hesitation flashed across Xiaoyu's eyes.What Gu Heng meant was that he was trying to pry into business secrets. Logically, they should keep their mouths shut and only tell the president about this matter, and then let the president make the decision.

But facing this handsome young man who had just rescued them and treated their injuries attentively, even at the cost of provoking the hostility of Qingfeng Baoxing for this, Xiaoyu inexplicably developed a desire to confide in him.

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to tell the truth.

"Because of this."

Xiaoyu took out a small jade bottle from her arms.

Gu Heng picked it up and looked at it. The thing in the bottle was a ball of dark green viscous liquid. He opened it and smelled a not very strong medicinal smell.

This is some kind of external healing medicine.

However, Gu Heng could see that the effectiveness of this thing was quite poor.

If he were to describe it, it would be like the slag left over from refining medicine when he first started to improve his "medical skills" proficiency...it had almost the same effect as this "green liquid".

If this kind of thing were to be sold to mortals, it might be okay, but if it were to be sold to monks... I'm afraid not many would be willing to buy it.

"They are hunting you down for this bottle of liquid medicine?"

Gu Heng raised his eyebrows.

He didn't recognize the potion, but it could make those specially trained killers relentlessly hunt down these two little girls. It must be something extraordinary. But it can't be called ordinary, it can be considered inferior.

"good."

Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and said, "This bottle of 'Qingling Liquid' was specially developed by Qingfeng Treasure Shop's specially hired pharmacist. Although its effect is not top-notch, its recipe is very simple and the cost is extremely low. It is designed to squeeze our Jinhuang Treasure Shop and make it impossible for us to sell our healing medicines."

Gu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

He understood immediately.

This thing has poor efficacy, but low cost. The "Qingling Liquid" of Qingfeng Treasure Store can be sold in large quantities at a low price. Maybe the healing medicine of Jinhuang Treasure Store is of better quality, but the price is also higher. So...

This Qingfeng Baoxing is trying to make money from mortals and poor and weak cultivators!

When this "Qingling Liquid" is refined at full capacity and then sold in large quantities, Jinhuang Baoxing's healing medicine will naturally have no market among those who are short of money.

There are many small forces outside Yunling City. They will definitely buy a large amount of "Qingling Liquid". And those independent cultivators will definitely choose cheap medicine. And those ordinary people in the city, if they can buy such healing medicine with a little money, they will definitely save trouble and go to the clinic less often...

It's not that no one buys the things from Jinhuangbao Store, it's just that there are always more poor people than rich people in this world.

Everyone wants to enjoy better, but many people settle for second best.

"...I see."

No wonder the two girls were so miserably hunted down, this can be regarded as an absolute trade secret. Qingfeng Baohang can completely use this as a big move, just wait until their "Qingling Liquid" stock is sufficient, create enough hype, and then launch it all out to sell in one go!

Qingfeng Baoxing wants to launch a sneak attack.

At the most critical moment, deal a heavy blow to Jinhuang Baoxing!

He returned the jade bottle to Xiaoyu and said, "You want to take this bottle back and let the president of your Baoxing think about how to come up with a better solution, right?"

Xiaoyu nodded.

Gu Heng's next words made their mouths feel like eggs were stuffed in them.

"But this bottle of medicine... in my opinion, it's too rubbish. The effect of drinking the slag from my alchemy mixed with cold water is ten times better than this."
