C14 Lin Family Compensation
Energy values were undoubtedly the number one priority, but at present, the only way to know if there was any energy value was through the corpses of ferocious beasts. Thinking about it, there wouldn't be much of such a thing even if there were Lin Family s, but as for medicinal ingredients and treasures?
To be honest, with Gu Yuan's current strength, it would be too easy to do all of this. There was no need to waste it here.
After making up his mind, Gu Yuan said, "I don't need any mortal things. If there's anything precious..." He thought for a moment before adding, "It would be best if you can give me the items that contain energy."
Lin Pingtian almost cried when he heard this. He originally thought that he would give up some gold and silver treasure to send Gu Yuan away. He didn't expect the other party to open his mouth and stab him in the heart.
Helpless, Lin Pingtian didn't dare to refute Gu Yuan's words when he was under control. He quickly ordered his men to fetch the materials according to Gu Yuan's request.
At this moment, Gu Yuan went back to his room to chat with his aunt Gu Rou.
The fight just now was very loud. Gu Rou was worried about Gu Yuan's comfort, so she hid at the door to watch. That was why she saw everything that happened.
From the moment Gu Yuan crippled Lin Hao with a single punch, to the time when Gu Wu appeared and was beaten into fleeing, all of this left Gu Rou dumbstruck.
Perhaps it was a woman's perception. She keenly felt that Gu Yuan in front of her was different from the Gu Yuan she was familiar with before, but she didn't care. As long as Yuan was alive and well in her eyes, everything was better than anything else.
Looking at Gu Yuan, who was treating her warmly, Gu Rou, who was filled with sentimentality, felt tears welling up in her eyes once again.
Not long after that, while Gu Yuan was still chatting with Gu Rou, Lin Pingtian carefully walked in and put down the three delicate wooden boxes in front of Gu Yuan. He said, "Mr. Gu, all the things you wanted have been brought over."
Gu Yuan ignored Lin Pingtian and looked at the three boxes in front of him.
He lifted his hand and opened the first box. There was actually an herb inside.
It was an icy blue color and it gave off a cold aura. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary herb, but Gu Yuan did not recognize it.
Lin Pingtian, who was at the side, seemed to have seen the doubt in Gu Yuan's eyes, and hurriedly explained: "Mr Gu, this is the Nine Coldfrost Grass that my Lin Family's forefathers had coincidentally obtained at an area called Extreme Frost Mountain. Rumor has it that it's a precious medicinal ingredient used to refine medicinal pellets in the cultivation world.
Hearing Lin Pingtian's explanation, Gu Yuan suddenly understood. Due to his curiosity, he stretched out his hand to touch the herb, but the moment Gu Yuan's fingers came into contact with the herb, an unexpected system notification rang beside his ear.
"Energy can be absorbed. Would you like to absorb it?"
Gu Yuan was surprised for a moment, and then he immediately became overjoyed. He immediately understood the key point, at the same time, he cursed himself for being stupid, "I've always been conflicted on the way to get energy value. In fact, I already told myself in the first energy absorption system notification that energy value is essentially energy, so I only need to get something that contains energy for the system to absorb.
Gu Yuan's mood instantly improved as he thought everything through. Due to Lin Pingtian's presence, Gu Yuan did not choose to absorb the energy. Instead, he opened the second box.
Inside was a milky-white stone the size of a small finger.
Along with the appearance of the rock, Gu Yuan noticed that Lin Pingtian's eyes flashed a trace of reluctance and pain.
"Could it be that this stone is even more precious than the Nine Coldgrass?"
Seeing Gu Yuan look at him with doubt in his eyes, Lin Pingtian hurriedly explained: "This is a spirit stone, and rumours say it's something from the cultivation world, used to speed up cultivation. My Lin Family seniors once had the chance to save a rogue cultivator, and that rogue cultivator, in order to thank me for saving his life, gave me this spirit stone."
"It's something from the Immortal Cultivation World again?!"
Hearing that, Gu Yuan's eyes lit up. He hurriedly used his hands to touch it. Sure enough, he once again heard the indication of whether it was absorbed or not.
"I'm so lucky, I never thought that such a small Lin Family would actually bring me so many surprises."
Then, he opened the third box. This time, it was not herbs or spirit stones, but a small porcelain bottle.
There was no need to wait, Lin Pingtian directly explained: "This porcelain bottle contains Small Revitalizing Pellets. Consuming it the day after tomorrow can increase your internal energy for 10 years, but unfortunately it is useless against Upper Sky users."
Seeing the disappointment in Gu Yuan's eyes, Lin Pingtian hurriedly explained: "But if it was used by an ordinary person, not only could it cleanse one's body, it could also instantly increase one's inner force cultivation. It is equivalent to the inner force cultivation of a First Rated Expert!"
The moment he heard Lin Pingtian's explanation, Gu Yuan picked up the Small Revitalizing Pellet without any hesitation and gave it to Gu Rou.
"Aunty, eat it."
Gu Rou subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she saw Gu Yuan's determined gaze, she hesitated for a moment. In the end, she still opened her mouth and ate the Small Revitalizing Pellet.
The Small Revitalizing Pellet was a rare miraculous medicine. It turned into a warm current the instant Gu Rou swallowed it, spreading to her limbs and bones, and a tremendous amount of energy was gently modifying her body and her fragile meridians.
Seeing that there was no trace of pain on Gu Rou's face and instead a comfortable expression, Gu Yuan gradually relaxed. The inner strength that he mobilized earlier was also withdrawn into his Dantian.
The Lin Family had been passed down for so many years, it was impossible for there to only be these three treasures, but the most precious ones were definitely the three.
In order to give it its all and also leave some hope for the Lin Family, Lin Pingtian had to put in a lot of effort. Seeing the satisfied expression on Gu Yuan's face, Lin Pingtian heaved a sigh of relief and said while the iron was still hot: "Mr. Gu, I wonder if you are satisfied with these three items."
Gu Yuan nodded and replied, "I will write off my previous grudge and will no longer make things difficult for Lin Family."
Lin Pingtian was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Gu Yuan followed up, "After Aunt has absorbed all the medicinal energy, we will leave."
Lin Pingtian hurriedly expressed that he understood and backed out tactfully.
An hour later, Gu Rou slowly opened her eyes. Her face was no longer pale like before, but was now flushed red, and her spirit was clearly much stronger than before.
Gu Yuan quickly used the system to check.
"Name: Gu Rou"
Cultivation Level: Third-rate Fighter
Identity: Gu family's second daughter.
Gu Yuan was completely relieved when he saw the system displayed the number "Third Rated Warrior" on his cultivation level.
"Aunt, I will arrange a safe place for you to rest and recover. Wait for me to come back."
Gu Rou, who was looking around curiously due to her sudden increase in strength, suddenly became gloomy upon hearing Gu Yuan's words.
He looked at Gu Yuan and seemed to be hesitating.
