Chapter 991: A Promise Is a Promise
“Do you think I’m an idiot? I cured you all of the poison in one go. Who am I going to look for if you run away?” Ling Chuxi rolled her eyes and looked at Gongxi Kuangdao as if he was an idiot.
“I, Gongxi Kuangdao from the Gongxi clan, have always kept my word. What makes you think I will run away?” Gongxi Kuangdao proclaimed indignantly.
“I don’t know. As long as you teach me the forging techniques, I’ll cure all the poison in you and let you leave,” said Ling Chuxi.
“Okay, I’ll teach you the forging techniques now,” said Gongxi Kuangdao as he nodded.
“Don’t get impatient now. I still have things to do. Go to the foot of Celestial Peak and wait for me,” said Ling Chuxi. No one else knew that they had just left the cultivation treasure land. So, they had to rush back after they were done here. Otherwise, it would make the Su family worried again.
“Okay then,” said Gongxi Kuangdao with a nod after a bout of hesitation. He hoped that he would be able to find a way to detox the poison himself within these three days.
“Also, you’d better not try to detoxify the poison yourself. This poison is concocted using Golden Pill Sect’s secret method. If something goes wrong, even I won’t be able to help you then.” Ling Chuxi reminded him as if she could see what he was thinking.
Gongxi Kuangdao’s heart sank as he recalled the feeling of Hell on Earth just now. His heart trembled and he had no choice but to give up on this idea.
“Got it,” Gongxi Kuangdao replied with a snort.
“By the way, you don’t have your blade anymore. I’ll give you this piece of iron essence so you can have a new one,” said Ling Chuxi to Gongxi Kuangdao.
Gongxi Kuangdao looked at Ling Chuxi in surprise. Didn’t she know where the Black Dragon Gold was? What did she mean by that? Could it be that she actually had a way to take it out?
“Little Meatball, be good. Come help me extract the Black Dragon Gold.” Ling Chuxi took out the Gold Glass Beast from her pocket. The little guy had been waiting impatiently for a long time. If it weren’t for Huangfu Qingjue’s threat and the insignia, it would have jumped out a long time ago.
Now that it heard Ling Chuxi’s words, it rushed over without hesitation. A golden light flashed, and a round hole appeared on the iron essence that Gongxi Kuangdao and the others had struggled to get through. Then, a golden light flashed out from it.
After a few crisp sounds, the entire piece of iron broke into pieces.
The golden light stopped on Ling Chuxi’s shoulder and a strange metal the size of a palm appeared in her hand. Even before it had been smelted, there was not a single trace of impurity on the metal. The surface of the reddish-brown metal flickered with a bright light like a star.
Upon closer inspection, there were a few deep teeth marks on it, as if someone had taken a bite out of it.
“This naughty Little Meatball, you actually took a bite out of it!” Ling Chuxi pinched the Gold Glass Beast’s buttocks a few times. It was probably its buttocks… This guy was a whole ball of fur and fat that one couldn’t tell which was the head and which was the buttocks.
The little guy had just eaten a mouthful of Black Dragon Gold and seemed to be very satisfied. It chirped happily before going back into the pocket to hug the insignia to sleep.
“Gold Glass Beast? Could it be a Gold Glass Beast?” Gongxi Kuangdao and the others were completely stunned. They had experienced the hardness of the iron essence firsthand, and the Black Dragon Gold was the essence of gold. To actually be gnawed by that little thing until a crescent moon appeared… Besides the Gold Glass Beast, what else could do it?
