Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Suspicion From Wu Huaqing

Wu Huaqing’s expression did not change at all. On the other hand, the others, like Moses parting the sea, made way for Gu Xi. There was a probing look on their faces, but more of it was reverence.

“Come with me.”

There was only him and Gu Xi left in the vast space. Wu Huaqing’s gaze was sharp as he fixed his gaze on Gu Xi, as if he wanted to see through him completely.

Wu Huaqing was puzzled and asked, “What is your identity and background? Why did you enter our Supreme Purity Sect?”

Knowing that Wu Huaqing was suspicious, Gu Xi had long expected such a scene. If Wu Huaqing pretended that nothing had happened and instead came to curry favor with him, he would be worried.

That would mean that Wu Huaqing could lower his head and curry favor for the mysterious strength behind him, even ignoring the danger to the sect. In the future, he could also easily betray Gu Xi for greater benefits.

“Elder Wu, I sincerely joined the Supreme Purity Sect.”

Gu Xi’s words were right. The original owner of the Flawless pill was indeed sincere. That fake master was just a lie he made up in order to avoid Mei Qianmeng and others.

However, he could not let Wu Huaqing know about this.

Wu Huaqing obviously did not believe this, “You were able to take out the Flawless pill that all alchemists dream of, and even used it to auction for other treasures. From this, it can be seen that you must have a very strong background. What is the purpose of coming to our Supreme Purity Sect?”

Gu Xi’s expression was very innocent, “Elder Wu, I merely obtained some opportunities by chance. As for the more specific details, I’m not at liberty to reveal them. But I can tell you one thing for sure, I have no ill intentions or motives towards the Supreme Purity Sect.”

He had accidentally transmigrated and reincarnated, and he the Extraction System. This was considered an opportunity.

Elder Wu could see that Gu Xi was sincere, but this could not dispel the doubts in his heart.

“Elder Wu, to put it bluntly, what do you think is worth coveting in Supreme Purity Sect? Besides, I’ve been in the sect for so long. Have I ever done anything harmful to the sect?”

Wu Huaqing’s expression suddenly became subtle. It was indeed as Gu Xi had said. He wanted to use the Flawless quality medicinal pills to exchange for the most precious treasures in the world. Any one of the random items here was more powerful than all the items in the Supreme Purity Sect combined.

“Cough cough.”

He cleared his throat and tried to resolve his embarrassment. Just as Gu Xi had said, he had been in the Supreme Purity Sect for a long time and had always been ordinary. It was only until recently that he had risen up in a powerful manner. Indeed, he had never done anything harmful to the sect.

“Therefore, Elder Wu, you can rest assured.”

Seeing that Gu Xi had already said so much, if Wu Huaqing said anything more, he would appear to be a little suspicious. Moreover, Gu Xi had an extraordinary background. If he could befriend him, it would be of great benefit to the sect.

“Forget it, let’s drop this matter. As long as you have no other intentions for the sect.”

Even though Wu Huaqing still had many doubts in his heart, he did not want to probe further. Even if he asked, he would not be able to get anything out of him. Everyone had their own secrets, and Gu Xi was no exception.

Perhaps the reason why Gu Xi’s cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds this time was because of that mysterious master. It could be said to be a great opportunity.

This was also a great opportunity for the entire Supreme Purity Sect.

“Cultivate well and be careful in everything. The forces on the fourth or fifth level are not to be trifled with. There is also the Demon Region watching you like a tiger watching its prey. Even if the Master behind you is powerful, it will not be easy to deal with these forces.”

Wu Huaqing’s seriousness gradually disappeared, but it was replaced by kindness and worry. Gu Xi was happy to see such a change.

“Thank you for your advice, Elder Wu. I know what to do.”

At the moment, Gu Xi had no intention of leaving Supreme Purity Sect.

With his strength, he could go to a more powerful sect with more resources, which meant that there was more room for development. However, it was also very dangerous. There was no lack of old monsters who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years. If they found out about his secrets or the existence of the System, he would be exposed with a Soul-searching spell, and he would be in great danger.

Thinking of this, taking into account various factors and the environment, these large sects were not within Gu Xi’s choice. On the contrary, he did not need to worry about being exposed by sects like the Supreme Purity Sect. Even if there were people who had ill intentions against him, he would be able to handle it.

“Alright, you should rest well. In a few days, the Dao Conference will be held in the Capital. You should prepare well.”

After giving a few more instructions, Wu Huaqing let Gu Xi go down to rest.

However, not long after he walked out, many of his fellow disciples surrounded him and shouted in unison, “Hello, Senior Brother Gu!”

Compared to his previous isolation, Gu Xi could be said to be an existence that was worshipped by the stars at this moment. Almost no one could match up to his position.

Gu Xi’s expression was indifferent, and he did not have much of a reaction.

The other people in Supreme Purity Sect did not think as far ahead as Wu Huaqing. Their eyes were filled with shock and admiration, especially the alchemists in the sect. They looked as if they had seen a living bodhisattva, wishing that they could worship Gu Xi.

After all, if they could receive the guidance of the mysterious master behind Gu Xi, it would be a leap to the Heavens for them.

Wu Huaqing looked at the scene outside and felt a little funny and helpless. He said with a cold face, “Why are you all so free? Don’t forget that the Dao Conference in the Capital is about to begin.”

Only then did everyone return to their rooms.

However, they had already made an agreement with Wu Huaqing not to reveal any information related to Gu Xi. Even if they asked, it might arouse suspicion.

Therefore, they planned to discuss it with Gu Xi when they returned to the sect. It would save Gu Xi a lot of unnecessary trouble.
