Swallowing the Heart-Devouring Pill, Qi Daxu couldn't help but cough twice, supported the ground with both hands, and gasped.

Gu Bai patted Qi Daxu's face with a knife face: "From today on, your life does not belong to you, nor does your Qi family, you belong to your grandfather, do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand, grandpa."

Qi Daxu felt like he had survived the disaster, and his pale face kept trembling

Gu Bai said slowly: "I'll ask you, who did what happened today?"

"Is it... a strange thief?"

Gu Bai shook his head.

Qi Daxu's eyes lit up: "It's the Demon Suppressing Department!"

Bang!

Gu Bai slapped him hard on the head, "Say again."

Qi Daxu was scared and said tentatively: "Is that... it's the Wang family?"

"Yes, it's the Wang family."

"I'll ask you again, who killed Qixiong and plundered Qi family resources?"

"It's the Wang family!"

"Who covets the Qi family's concubines and asks you to introduce them?"

"It's the Wang family!" Qi Daxu looked excited.

"Very good, just know what to do," Gu Bai waved his hand, "Get out."

Qi Daxu couldn't believe it and said in a trembling voice: "That's all...that's all? Don't I have to do anything else for you?"

Gu Bai said: "When I need to use you, I will naturally appear. Without my instructions, you can do whatever you want. But one thing is that you must not reveal my existence to others, otherwise, you will understand..."

"I understand! I understand! Thank you grandpa for not killing! Thank you grandpa!"

Qi Daxu got up from the ground, bowed repeatedly, and ran away.

...

After Qi Daxu left, Gu Bai came to a secluded place.

After confirming that there was no one around, he leaned his back against the corner of the earth wall and relaxed his whole body.

The effect of the explosive pill has expired. The side effects have made Gu Bai's whole body weak and he can't lift his strength, but the corners of his mouth can't help but smile.

The so-called "heart-eating pill" is just an ordinary qi-replenishing pill.

Qi Daxu was scared to death and didn't notice it at all. He believed it without doubt that it was the legendary Heart-Devouring Pill in the Jianghu, and did not dare to disobey his will.

If this matter is accomplished, it will be enough to worsen the relationship between the two major clans.

It doesn't matter if you are discovered. Anyway, Qi Daxu doesn't know who his true identity is.

Taking advantage of this gap, he opened the property panel in his mind.

Current permanent attributes: Strength +243, Agility +231, Qi and Blood +212, Spirit +50, Poison Resistance +37, Penetration +44, Regeneration +20, Spiritual Immunity +31

The attributes gained from killing four people in the eighth level of body tempering this time have increased his strength by about 10%.

No matter what, I still have to seize the time to reach the upper limit first.

Although his current strength is almost the top of his peers, if he meets a master in the Yang Ling Realm, he may not have much power to resist and only has the right to escape.

Next, the situation in Sun and Moon City will only become more and more chaotic, and what you have to face at that time is not just Yang Ling Realm practitioners.

Gu Bai narrowed his eyes and stared at the dark night sky.

The side effects of the explosion pill have gradually dissipated. Gu Bai changed his outfit again and got up and left the dark alley.

At night, the Demon Suppression Department is on high alert, and the risk of climbing over the wall is too high.

As for walking through the main entrance, it is easy to get verbal in the middle of the night, and it is not very good to attract people's imagination at that time.

Gu Bai simply found a wine shop and stayed for one night, and did not return to the state capital until the next morning.

Back in his hut, as soon as he entered the door, Gu Bai found his second uncle sitting in front of the tea case.

"You little brat, why didn't you come back all night last night?" Gu Chengde stood up and asked anxiously.

"It was too late yesterday, so I stayed in the inn all night. What's wrong with me, Uncle Second, I was so anxious early in the morning."

Gu Chengde walked forward, lowered his voice, and asked seriously: "I ask you, does that matter last night have anything to do with you?"

"What happened last night?"

Gu Chengde breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "There were four people killed in Sanheng Street last night, all of whom were from the Qi family. This matter was almost in trouble. Even the Feiyu Gang's people came forward to investigate. Don't you know?"

"There is such a thing?" Gu Bai looked shocked, "Who did it?"

"It is said that the surviving Qi Daxu pointed out that Wang family, but the Wang family denied it, and the Feiyu Gang also proved that it was said that there was no man from the Wang family entering and leaving the black market last night."

Gu Chengde sat down, "This is very strange. Although the Wang and Qi families had ordinary relationships and had restrained each other, they had never had such extreme actions. It was really strange."

"Don't worry, this is good news for us."

Gu Bai smiled and felt calm.

That guy Qi Daxu did as he told him, so there is no need to worry anymore.

After telling his first lie, even if Qi Daxu completely got on his own pirate ship, if the matter was exposed, the Qi family would not be the first to spare him.

"This matter is indeed beneficial to us. Late last night, several hundred households had already discussed countermeasures overnight. Next, the Demon Suppression Department wants to protect themselves and sit in the mountains to watch the tiger fight. Don't run around recently. If you don't have a task, just stay in the prefecture and practice quietly."

"Okay, I understand, uncle."

After seeing off his second uncle, Gu Bai went out to the forging department.

The Forging Department is mainly responsible for building the equipment required by all personnel in the state and refining some commonly used elixirs.

If Gu Bai wanted to refine a puppet, he naturally had to come here to borrow the alchemy room.

Fortunately, with the status of Xiaoqiguan, it has become much more convenient to do things.

Soon, Gu Bai borrowed a temporarily vacant alchemy house.

The alchemy room is not big, with a bronze furnace standing in the middle, surrounded by some vents.

After closing the door, Gu Bai took out all the materials and piled his brains on the ground.

The main material of the puppet is clay. In the description of the secret, the clay weight cannot exceed 200 kilograms, but it can be pinched to the desired shape at will. Different shapes, combat power and control difficulty are different.

It is mainly divided into human form and beast form.

The combat power of the beast is moderate and the control is low.

In contrast, the human figure has more room to play, is more difficult to control, and is also confusing and can be unexpected.

As a masterpiece, Gu Bai's first puppet was naturally pinched into the shape of a wild beast.

This is an ugly cheetah.

Quite ugly.

"That's it."

Gu Bai looked at the cheetah-shaped clay with disgust, stuffed some of the core materials into its body, and then carried it into the furnace and cauldron.

Fire, add fire, fan the air.

Following the steps in the puppet secret technique, Gu Bai controlled the heat and gradually threw other materials into the furnace.

At the same time, at some key nodes, some of your own mental power is injected into the furnace and stamped.

This refining took five or six hours.

As the last wisp of white smoke emerged from the furnace hole, Gu Bai excitedly opened the lid.

A cheetah with a strong posture and a white streamer on the surface was presented to his eyes.
