"What did you ask me?"
Mu Lingyao was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, standing up angrily. "I think you're tired of living!"
"Little sister," Gu Qingfeng took a sip of wine and chuckled. "We agreed beforehand not to get angry."
"But you can't ask such a vulgar question either! This is my personal privacy, how could I tell you?"
"Your privacy can't be told to me," Gu Qingfeng said with a smile. "Then why should I tell you my privacy?"
"You!" Gu Qingfeng's words left Mu Lingyao speechless. She pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and added, "You sly fellow, so you were setting a trap for me here."
Gu Qingfeng shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.
"Alright, since it's your privacy, I won't ask anymore. But now that we've formally met, I still don't know your name."
"Me? My surname is Tu, given name Hao, known in the jianghu as Great Old Master."
"Tu Hao? And Great Old Master?" Mu Lingyao said disdainfully. "You?"
"What's wrong? Doesn't it suit me?"
"If you're saying you're Tu Hao (Nouveau Riche), I believe it. Your outfit is indeed both tacky and extravagant. But as for being a Great Old Master... hah! I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death. I've seen Great Old Masters before. Those great lords who command awe across entire regions, just standing there, you can feel their immense aura from far away. But look at you..." Mu Lingyao said scornfully. "You don't stand properly, you don't sit properly, you have no elegance, no presence, crossing your legs, sipping wine, smoking spirit tobacco, looking like a complete rogue. You don't resemble any Great Old Master; to me, you're just a good-for-nothing."
"Who told you a Great Old Master has to keep a stern face all day long? Can't I live comfortably?"
"Alright! No more jokes, be serious. What's your real name? Hey, I already told you my name."
"Little sister, I'm not deceiving you either. I really am called Tu Hao Great Old Master."
"You rascal, do you believe that I'll..." Seeing Mu Lingyao about to get angry again, Qianniao, who was beside them, cautiously spoke up: "Sister Huadie, Sister Lingyao, the name Tu Hao is one he gave himself. He doesn't remember things from before. Everyone in our Xiaoluo Secret Realm calls him Little Drunkard."
"Doesn't remember things from before? What happened?"
"It's like this. Little Drunkard probably had a mishap in his cultivation before. After he woke up, he forgot everything from the past. Sometimes he acts a bit foolishly and doesn't speak very properly, so please don't blame him."
"I say, little girl, you really can't keep your mouth shut, can you? Why are you spilling everything?" Gu Qingfeng said helplessly. "And what do you mean I act foolishly? When do I not speak properly?"
"It's true! You not only speak improperly, but you also like to boast."
"Alright, hurry up and eat your food. Don't talk nonsense when it's unnecessary."
"How can you speak to Qianniao like that?" Mu Lingyao got up and sat next to Qianniao. "Little Sister Qianniao, can you tell your sister in detail what happened? Isn't he from your Xiaoluo Secret Realm?"
"No. Dozens of years ago, Sister Ling'er and some elders from our Xiaoluo Secret Realm went to the Liusha Small Secret Realm. They found Little Drunkard in a deep swamp pit. Seeing he was still alive, they brought him back. He recuperated in our Xiaoluo Secret Realm for several decades after that. This is his first time going out."
Gu Qingfeng watched as Qianniao recounted his story in detail from beginning to end. He felt quite helpless inwardly, sighing that this girl Qianniao had absolutely no guile. They hadn't even gotten to know each other well, and she had already sold him out.
Both Huadie Immortal and Mu Lingyao were hearing these things for the first time, and they were extremely curious. "The natural environment inside the Liusha Small Secret Realm is extremely harsh. Even a Tai Bai Golden Immortal wouldn't last long without using immortal power to resist. How did he survive there?"
"We don't know that either. But Little Drunkard's Physical Body is very strange."
"Very strange? How so?"
"Hmm... I'm not sure how to describe it. Little Drunkard's Physical Body is completely decayed inside, a very chaotic mess."
Remembering Gu Qingfeng's strange Physical Body, Qianniao quickly added, "Sister Huadie, your medical skills are so superb. Can you take a look at Little Drunkard's Physical Body? Is there any hope for him to cultivate anew? Aunt Xuehuan, the medical immortal of our Xiaoluo Secret Realm, tried to treat him for a long time without any effect..."
Mu Lingyao was already full of curiosity about Gu Qingfeng. Now, hearing that his Physical Body was completely decayed, her curiosity grew even stronger.
Huadie Immortal was no exception. Though her face might not have shown much surprise, her inner curiosity was even stronger than Mu Lingyao's. Because she had noticed that the wine Gu Qingfeng was drinking was actually Gundao Burning Wine, and he was also eating Great Luo Meridian-Cleansing Pills, and even consuming bitter bodhi seeds like they were grapes.
As a medical immortal, and one who had studied under the Medicine King Patriarch, she understood better than anyone how potent the medicinal effects contained in a wine like Gundao Burning were. True to its name, one mouthful would make the blood boil as if knives were flowing through the veins, causing great pain.
As for the Great Luo Meridian-Cleansing Pills, taking just one would displace meridians and dislocate bones, causing the user immense suffering.
As for the bitter bodhi seeds, they were a deadly poison that would cause the flesh to rot!
And this person was drinking Gundao Burning Wine sip by sip as if it were plain water, popping Great Luo Meridian-Cleansing Pills like candy beans, and eating bitter bodhi seeds like grapes.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Huadie Immortal would never have believed it. Even witnessing it now, she found it incredible.
"How can you... how can you... That's a Great Luo Meridian-Cleansing Pill! And the bitter bodhi seeds... that's a deadly poison!"
Mu Lingyao seemed to have also noticed the Gundao Burning Wine Gu Qingfeng was drinking and the Great Luo Meridian-Cleansing Pills he was eating. When she saw the bitter bodhi seeds, her beautiful face was filled with shock. Pointing at Gu Qingfeng, her small mouth agape, she looked even more horrified than if she had seen a ghost or deity.
"For you, it's a deadly poison. For this Old Master, it's just slightly bitter."
Gu Qingfeng looked at the two of them and laughed. "Also, don't listen to little Qianniao's nonsense. She's just a little girl who doesn't understand. My Physical Body isn't decayed; it's the legendary Immortal Indestructible Body. Do you know what an Immortal Indestructible Body is? It's the kind that neither dies nor perishes, neither decays nor is destroyed, hailed as the pinnacle of heaven and earth, the one and only peerless Tyrant Body! Do you know what a Tyrant Body is? Forget it... Looking at your expressions, you definitely don't know what a Tyrant Body is. Explaining it would be a waste of breath."
"Little Drunkard, stop boasting. Let Immortal Huadie take a look at your Physical Body. Immortal Huadie's medical skills are so superb; she can definitely cure your Physical Body."
