Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

"I said it was fate, do you believe it, Brother Gu?"

Qin Wen looked at Gu Xing and said seriously.

"Then tell me, what is the fate?"

Gu Xing put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at him seriously.

Qin Wen scratched his head, his serious expression suddenly couldn't hold back, and he looked helpless.

"Well, actually it's not just you. I've looked for many people, but most of them are not suitable. From the information I know, you are a very suitable person."

"Information? Where did it come from?"

Gu Xing frowned. He had only been in the Hanging Valley for a short time, so how could the information be leaked?

"This involves my secret." Qin Wen smiled.

"So, what is the information you have about me?"

"Not much, just knowing that you are from the Great Zhou and some of your abilities."

"Is that why you chose me?"

"No, it's mainly because of your ability to travel through the void, Brother Gu."

Escape to the void?

Gu Xing looked at Qin Wen deeply.

"Brother Gu, don't look at me like that. You have to know that the weirdos in Lilliput can't keep secrets."

Lilliput...

Sally?

Gu Xing was stunned for a moment, then he denied his subconscious thoughts in his mind.

Sally wouldn't betray herself.

However, given her personality, if I hadn't specifically told her to keep it a secret, she would probably brag about her experiences along the way.

But ordinary people would never hear her bragging.

Therefore, Gu Xing immediately thought of someone——

Peddler.

The peddler travels around the world, basically setting foot in both human kingdoms and strange forces.

However, few people know the details of these peddlers. They only know that they are very strong and mysterious.

Of course, there were also those who revolted at the sight of their wealth and wanted to rob them.

But most of those who dared to do so have disappeared.

Is the peddler controlled by Qin Wen?

A hint of doubt flashed through Gu Xing's mind, but he quickly rejected it.

The peddler is very mysterious, and the power behind him must be very powerful.

If Qin Wen could control the peddler, not to mention his second brother who was competing with him for the family property, he would have a chance to sit on the throne of the Qin Dynasty if he could find a way.

As for why he only said there was a chance, it was because Gu Xing didn't know the peddler's background, and he also knew the strength of a country.

In today's world, a country that occupies a large amount of land would have been destroyed long ago if it was not strong enough.

However, even if Qin Wen is not the mastermind behind the peddler, there is a high probability that Qin Wen is related to the peddler.

So Gu Xing asked directly.

"What is your relationship with the peddler?"

Qin Wen was a little surprised.

"Brother Gu, you are amazing. You can even guess this. Yes, your information came from the peddler, but I don't have much to do with the peddler."

"It doesn't matter much, so why would they pass the information to you?" Gu Xing didn't believe it.

"Yes, there is a connection, but only a little."

"Since you have connections with the peddlers, you can definitely ask them to help you. I believe there are many peddlers who are stronger than me."

"That's why I said only one thing." Qin Wen spread his hands, "I can get information from them, but I can't get them to take action with my current strength."

"I believe what you said, so tell me, what do we need to do after we go to the tomb of the dead?"

"I need to go into the tomb, go to a certain place, and get something from there."

"Isn't the space you enter through the tomb random?"

Gu Xing frowned. He remembered that this was clearly written in the information from the treasure pavilion.

"No, there is actually a certain pattern. The specific pattern is a bit complicated, so I won't tell you more."

"Besides you and me, are there other people?"

"The two of us are definitely not enough. Of course there are others, but please allow me to keep the specific candidates confidential. Well, having said so much, Brother Gu, you should give me an answer."

Qin Wen looked at Gu Xing.

Gu Xing picked up the chopsticks again and picked up the food.

"Eat first, let me think about it."

"Okay, wait, hey, leave some for me." Qin Wen returned to his usual playful smile and started snatching the food from Gu Xing.

At some point, Gu Xing had already eaten most of the dishes on the table.

While snatching, Qin Wen also complained.

"I thought that based on our friendship, you would choose to help me without much consideration, but I didn't expect that after I said so much, you would still hesitate. You are so heartless."

Gu Xing spoke calmly.

"Friendship is friendship, business is business, and if you agree to this kind of life-threatening business casually, won't you be sold out and have to help you count the money?"

"Brother Gu, what are you talking about? Why would I let you count money? Counting money must be counted by yourself to feel good!"

"..."

After finishing the meal, Gu Xing put down the food in his hand and just as he looked up, he saw Qin Wen looking at him expectantly.

Gu Xing sighed helplessly.

"Then I'll go with you, but you have to give me the secret technique in advance."

Although Gu Xing didn't like risking his life, he was sure to escape at the critical moment when he thought about his ability to escape.

Therefore, although the risk sounds high, it is actually not high.

Taking this level of risk in exchange for a secret soul refining technique, and with no guarantee of success, it can be said that if Gu Xing agreed, he would have made a lot of money.

So, in the end he chose to agree.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wen was overjoyed and immediately took out a book of secret techniques and handed it to Gu Xing.

"Brother Gu, this is the Purple Qi Soul Refining. I give it to you."

Gu Xing took it and teased.

"What? Aren't you afraid that I'll take the secret technique and run away?"

"With Brother Gu's personality, there is no way he would do such a thing!" Qin Wen said with a grin.

Gu Xing looked at him and couldn't help laughing.

Qin Wen is a wonderful person. He spent a week to get close to me, but I can't even hate him.

However, when he said he was getting close to me, he was actually more observing whether I was reliable.

Gu Xing thought about it but didn't say it out loud. Instead, he asked.

"Now can you tell me the specific situation? When will we set off? What preparations do we need?"

"With Brother Gu here, we can go now, but I still need some preparations. Let's set the time for three days. I will come to find Brother Gu at night three days later."

"As for preparations, Brother Gu, just prepare some more detoxifying pills. I will reserve the rest."

"Row."

"Brother Gu, by the way, there is one more thing. After returning to the inn, do not mention what I told you this time."

Hearing this, Gu Xing's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of the two women around Qin Wen.

Every time Qin Wen and I go out to eat, we basically don’t bring those two people with us.

But apart from eating, the three of them were almost inseparable.

So, he opened his mouth and was about to ask.

But Qin Wen spoke to stop him from talking.

"Brother Gu, some things are better just known, there's no need to ask."

Qin Wen lowered his head and his expression could not be seen, but Gu Xing could hear the complexity in his voice.

So Gu Xing didn't ask any more questions, but just watched Qin Wen take the shells off the table.
