Wang Qi's real name wasn't Wang Qi; it was a name Qin Feng made up on a whim. Of course, there wasn't a vilge called Wellhead Vilge around here either.

  He cocted this story just to get closer to others.

  Qin Feng was also one of the five rogue cultivators who ventured into the mountain. They were all at the Out-of-Body stage, and they came to Burial Mountain not for anything else but because, a few days ago, Qin Feng had actally saved an old man who was gravely ihat old man turned out to be a Heaven's Inquiry Master, skilled in divining fate.

  Acc to the Heaven's Inquiry Master's people, "everything has a cause and effect." Qin Feng saved the old man, and the old man, adhering to the idea of "bang cause and effect," cast a divination for him as "pensation."

  And this "pensation" was located in Burial Mountain.

  As long as Qin Feng could obtain it, the cause and effect between him and the old man would be "banced."

  If he couldn't obtain it, it would mean that the cause and effect between Qin Feng and the old man were "ued."

  Regardless, Qin Feng gathered fue cultivators he was somewhat familiar with and came here.

  However, the journey into the mountain was not smooth. They searched the mountain for several days without any progress, and then that Bck-scaled Earth Python appeared out of nowhere, chasing them into a frantic escape. Finally, they returo the mountai night, only to find someone else here.

  To figure out why this young man was here and whether he knew about the so-called "treasure" in Burial Mountain and inteo get there first, they faced a problem: they couldn't tell if this guy was a weakling mortal or a highly skilled cultivator.

  So Qin Feng volunteered to step forward, pnning to iigate first. The old man had given him a Secret Talisman that could temporarily ceal his aura and block dete. bined with this "disguise," he now seemed like a hunter who had lived in the vilge for decades, making a living by hunting.

  Qihought he had successfully deceived the other party, but this young man...

  Now he took out an Essence Solidifying Blood gealing Pill!

  This was a seventh-grade spiritual pill!

  Qin Feng's eyes widened, and his breathing became heavy! At that moment, Qin Fe his breath catch, his whole body trembling, as if he had bee dumbfounded, pletely fetting to reach out and take the pill.

  Seventh-grade, something he never dared to imagine in his lifetime.

  As an Out-of-Bue cultivator, it meant he had no background or foundation. The best pill he had ever used was a frade one, and even that was obtained with great effort. As for a seventh-grade pill... he could only say he had seen it, and not more than five times.

  But such a distant thing was nht in front of him, for him to take?

  Qin Feng suddenly didn't dare to move.

  Because he was thinking, anyone who could produce a seventh-grade pill was definitely not an ordinary person. Sihe first idea was ruled out, only one remained.

  This was someohey couldn't defeat.

  Moreover, Qin Feng had keenly caught a piece of information earlier: the person in front of him had also entered the Bck-scaled Earth Python, but he seemed pletely uned. It was as if, to him, that beast, which could hold its own against a Divided Spirit cultivator, was no threat at all.

  Could that snake... already be dead!?

  "Old Wang, why are you standing there?"

  Gu Heng's voiapped Qin Feng back to reality.

  "Oh, oh!"

  He shuddered and quickly cupped the pill with both hands.

  The pill was crystal clear, shimmering with a faint glow. Just a whiff of it made one feel invigorated and fortable all over. Qin Feng didn't know how potent the pill was, but the mome it, any lingering doubts vanished.

  This was indeed a seventh-grade pill.

  Just by smelling its fragrance, he could already feel a trace of its power entering his body, even starting to heal his injuries—injuries from the Earth Pytho earlier that afternoon.

  Qin Feng swallowed hard iement.

  Gu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

  Though he was a mortal, he wasn't stingy with rewarding others, especially since Old Wang the hunter was just trying to survive. But seeing him treat this stomach-filling dy as a rare treasure, relut to eat it... How poor must Old Wang's life have been before?

  "Old Wa it, and I guarantee you'll have energy immediately, even swing your knife faster than before."

  "Ah? Is that true? Well, thank you, young brother, but I'll save it a it slowly ter."

  Qin Feng quickly shook his head, tug the pill into his clothes.

  Eating the seventh-grade pill now was less valuable than keeping it as a family heirloom. Selling it was out of the question; a rogue cultivator at the Out-of-Body stage had nht to possess a seventh-grade pill. If others found out, he would surely die.

  Even those guys still hiding in the woods behind him couldn't know.

  "This thing isn't precious, o treat it like a treasure... Well, si's yours now, I won't ask about it."

  Gu Heng shook his head, thinking that the lives of the poor were even harsher than his. He was lucky to have had a few years of peace.

  Not precious?

  Qin Feng's mind was in turmoil.

  To casually give away a seventh-grade pill, it seemed indeed not precious to him. What kind of treasure would he sider precious?

  He didn't dare to think further, fearing that greed might arise in his heart aected by the other party.

  Fortunately, with the old man's Secret Talisman, this young man couldn't see that he was a cultivator and still treated him as a mortal. Otherwise, the atmosphere wouldn't have been so calm.

  In any case, Qin Feng no longer had the ce to act rashly. As for the initial pn with those guys to "cleverly take this person's life"...

  Take his life?

  When a seventh-grade pill was already "not precious," and the Bck-scaled Earth Python was nothing to him, how low could this young man's cultivation be? Even if it wasn't high, he was surely a noble from a major power, someohey absolutely couldn't touch.

  If they did, they would surely die.

  "Sir... I still don't know your name."

  Qin Feng casually asked, pretending to be nont.

  "Gu Heng." Gu Heng picked up a small stone and wrote his name on the soft ground. "And don't call me sir, it sounds too formal. Just call me Young Master Gu."

  "Oh, Young Master Gu, that's a good name, full hteousness."

  Qin Feng smiled and agreed, then couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Young Master Gu, you don't seem like someone who would veo the mountains for a living. Why are you here so te at night..."

  Gu Heng casually replied, "I'm an alchemist. I heard there are some... good herbs in the mountains, so I po e and take a look. You know, Old Wang, sometimes herbs aren't that easy to find."

  Of course, he wouldn't tell Old Wang that he actually didn't have time to ehe city and had to make do in the mountains for the night.

  In truth, for this seemingly ho and impoverished Wang Qi, Gu Heng always kept a wary eye. He had suffered at the hands of mortals before. Fortunately, with the System, he had trained a strong physique and had excellent medical skills. Otherwise, years ago, he might have been swio death by those ing vilins among mortals.

  Don't be fooled by this guy's ho appearance. Anyone who could make a living in the mountains, surviving against wild beasts, couldn't be a good person.

  Gu Heng didn't want to be robbed in the middle of the night due to excessive trust and ck of vigin this desote pce.

  "Oh, looking for herbs."

  Qin Feng nodded, not asking further.

  But his heart sank, realizing that the worst possibility had indeed e true.

  This Young Master Gu was here for the secret treasure in Burial Mountain!
