Thud!
A huge gunny sack was soon tossed onto the ground as a groan was heard from within at the same time.
Gu Lin Fang raised a brow once again while having a casual thought, 'that's definitely human'
Turns out some excited players had helped the red haired teenager to carry this sack here.
'oh that's the one with the perfect constitution for External cultivation, Gao Gao was it?'.
"Jiang Qin greets senior"His thought was soon cut off by the red haired boy's greeting.
Before he could answer, the three other players bowed and greeted as well. Although Gu Lin Fang could tell from their expression, that they didn't plan to do so.
'System's setting?, I'll try that later...' he tossed the thought aside casually while responding to the greetings with a nod.
Jiang Qin didn't waste time and gestured to the player, they came forward and roughly emptied the sack.
For some reason, the players excitement only increased further upon seeing Gao Gao's actions.
Jiang Qin looked at the muscle head strangely before turning towards Gu Lin Fang.
He proceeded to explain everything that had transpired earlier today.
Gu Lin Fang looked at the person tossed out of the sack and used [Sensing]
[Name: Hong Lushang
NPC qualifications: white grade Elite (I)
Age : 43
Cultivation: 7th stage of Qi Gathering realm(late)
Affiliation: Thunder Boar bandits(outer member).
Reputation: Boss Hong {Iron I}(Iron Crow City)
Summary (Recent): a member of the Northern Desert 'thunder boar bandits', due to them being hunted down by the Jin daohui (Gold Island Society) for breaking into their ancestral ground.
Upon reaching Iron Crow City, he proceeded to commiting petty thefts and soon devices a plan to scam some petty thieves into sticking out their necks for him...]
Upon reading the summary, Gu Lin Fang got the full gist of what led to what, so he looked at Hong Lushang and a malevolent smile spread across his face, "To think that a thunder boar bandit set his sight on my Gu Manor, do I call the Gold island society?".
Immediately, Hong Lushang became agitated as he struggled to say something through his disfigured face.
Losing interest, Gu Lin Fang ordered them to take him away from his sight, his attention was brought to something else...

Gu Lin Fang had been moving the Shadow guard along the path drawn on the sheepskin map, and for the first time today, he has found something interesting.
It was the first place marked on the map that diverted off the original route. It was a massive hill that was made of rocks and sand, but what attracted his attention was that, when he planned to leave the place earlier, something reflected light from up there.
Upon closer inspection, he found out that it was a milky white rock that was hanging out oddly above.
"Could this really be, a boulder sized Jade spirit stone?, Fully enriched with Qi!!" While muttering such words, he controlled the shadow guard to climb up the rocky hill to confirm his suspicions.
As he jumped, the puppet's Qi within the beast cores inside it, began to replenish itself automatically!.
"This can be used to increase my cultivation speed by more than 50%!!, With this alone, my trip with this puppet is completely worth it!!" Gu Lin Fang increased his speed and quickly reached the top, only to hear a loud hiss from the side.
He looked in that direction and saw a milky white Python head rushing out of the dark cave at the side.
Although he was expecting something to be guarding the place, he was still shocked about the size of the snakes head alone.
[Prefix: Jade spirit python
Rank: Tier 3 magic beast!
Grade: Blue Grade Boss]
Back in {Iron Crow City}, the corners of his mouth kept twitching repeatedly, Wei Fan looked at him cautiously as he poured some spirit tea into Gu Lin Fang's cup.
[Ding!: You have unlocked a chain Quest]
[Ding!: You have encountered a wild Boss!]
[Quest 1: Defeat the Jade spirit python.
Rewards: Jade spirit stone, Tier 3 beast core, unlocks next quest, etc.
'This development is both cliche and exciting', He picked up the tea as he began thinking, 'A beast is a beast after all. Is it so hard to use your brain? At a time like this, you comfortably come out to attack me, are you not afraid that I am more powerful than you?'
While Gu Lin Fang was having such thoughts, the python did not slow down.
In the blink of an eye, the snake had already appeared before him!!
"Hissss–"
A piercing scream broke out immediately, and the python opened its mouth wide, spitting out a dark purple poisonous mist.
instantly a large poisonous cloud, rushed forward in an overwhelming manner while the snake followed behind.
Anywhere the poisonous cloud passed, a large area of plants died instantly!.
On the other hand, Gu Lin Fang's movements were also not slow, some Qi flowed towards the puppet's foot as he controlled it to break out before the poisonous cloud came,
He pulled back and retreated quickly.
However, the poisonous clouds took the opportunity to expand and stabilize, in order to surround the shadow guard, like a large net, completely covering a radius of four miles!
Before Gu Lin Fang had time to completely escape, the poison cloud, the puppet's figure was immediately swallowed by the poison cloud.
The shadow guard's durability began dropping rapidly, so Gu Lin Fang continued to retreat quickly, but after moving for a long time and he still wasn't able to exit the poisonous cloud's range!
It was like the poisonous cloud was also moving with him!.
Although it won't cause much damage to the puppet temporarily, it only a matter of time before that changed.
Gu Lin Fang noticed the puppet's perception was greatly reduced within this poisonous cloud.
At this point, he was already certain that the python was definitely lurking around in the poisonous clouds and may be ready to attack at any time.
He frowned slightly and continued moving, he even accelerated his speed.
Suddenly, Gu Lin Fang had a foreboding feeling, it was a feeling that was coming from the shadow guard's body.
He didn't bother to think as he used the [Iron Head] technique to charge forward.
Bang!
"Hiss!"
There was another loud hiss, the huge Snake's head finally became visible, it opened it's mouth wide, as wide as a blood red wash basin and tried swallowing the shadow guard!.
There wasn't much time to think, as he made it dodge to the side while gathering Qi. It's palms released flaming red Qi as it hit on the side of the python's body.
Boom!!
He had just used his [Crooked war finger] through the puppet!.
The defensive power of this snake python's scale armor is probably comparable to a blue grade Armor, and it can't be easily broken due him not performing the skill with his real body.
The true damage effect was missing!.
While trying to escape the poisonous cloud, Gu Lin Fang continued to fight against the python for several minutes as he monitored the puppet's durability.
It gradually became a race against time!.
Gu Lin Fang's glowing red eyes flickered dangerously. He looked at the faintly visible python in the poisonous cloud and the aura on his own real body suddenly rose!!.
[Wild!]
"Boom! Boom! Boom"
"Hiss!!!"
In the poisonous cloud, the roar of the python were constantly heard, it resounded for several miles.
