Chapter 439: Gift of a Book
Besides, even if they're useless to anyone, there's no point in Gu Heng keeping these things; they're just trash.
However, these ancient books have a long history. Giving them as collectibles to people who appreciate them is a good option. Otherwise, the only other option is to just throw them into the furnace and burn them.
The system backpack is very large.
But Gu Heng had no intention of stuffing it with useless junk.
"Young Master Gu, what is this?"
Old Gu Tou had never been to the backyard of the clinic before. This was his first time here, and he immediately saw that it was filled with valuable magical artifacts and a large amount of gold and silver spirit stones, which filled most of the courtyard!
So many! Upon closer inspection, the old man discovered that among this pile of treasures, there were no magical artifacts or spiritual treasures below the Saint grade, and even Saint grade items were considered commonplace. He even saw a great many Emperor grade items, and some treasures whose quality he couldn't even judge with his knowledge, treasures that were even more unremarkable...
Is that a divine item?
There are indeed still some celestial treasures remaining in the world, but their numbers are extremely rare compared to those of a supreme saint-level expert.
Old Gu Tou was naturally not qualified to see celestial treasures, but his intuition told him that these were celestial treasures!
These things alone could cause a bloodbath in the cultivation world, but they were just piled up in the backyard of Young Master Gu's clinic, and he ignored them.
This should have been quite exaggerated.
But he had long understood that nothing was exaggerated in front of Gu Heng.
This reclusive and powerful figure, whose true depth is unknown, possesses a level of insight far beyond what the old man could comprehend.
However, while it's understandable, it's still quite difficult for Old Gu to accept.
Compared to Gu Heng.
He's not even as good as a cripple who begs.
"Oh, I haven't finished organizing this pile of things yet. There's still a lot left. I'll have to take my time."
Gu Heng waved his hand.
There are so many treasures that I can't even organize them all... This is the first time in my life that I've felt this kind of envy.
"These are the main things."
Gu Heng raised an eyebrow and handed over several ancient books on the table: "These are fragments of ancient books I acquired. They're of little use to me, but why don't you take a look?"
Old Gu Tou took the ancient book and his eyes widened instantly.
These are all top-tier cultivation techniques containing the ultimate realm of the Great Dao, the kind of treasures that can be called "immortal books"!
"This, this item is extremely precious..."
Old Gu was so excited that his mouth trembled.
He just broke through again without even realizing it, simply because he sensed the ancient, profound, and mysterious Dao intent emanating from this ancient book!
That alone is enough to compensate for his hundred years of arduous cultivation!
Gu Heng tilted his head and looked at him: "Is it very precious?"
Old Gu swallowed hard: "Yes, extremely precious! Priceless is beyond description!"
Seeing the old man so excited, his beard even trembling, Gu Heng had a better idea of what was going on, but said calmly, "Then I'll give it to you."
These ancient books were no longer of any use to Gu Heng.
Since it can be given away as payment, that's not bad. If the old man is lucky enough, there might be a cultivation technique inside that would suit him!
Then, even this old man can become a cultivator!
This is a way to fulfill a regret before I pass away in my old age.
"This……"
Old Gu hesitated.
Although this might not be that important to Gu Heng, these things are of great significance to him.
Even though Old Gu already had something better, namely Gu Heng's scrolls, these few cultivation manuals were enough to drive his old buddies mad!
"Of course, if you need anything else, you can pick up any of these treasures."
Gu Heng waved his hand, displaying a generous and magnanimous attitude, as if he could agree to any request Old Gu made.
Old Gu's heart was pounding. He wanted to refuse, but he quickly realized that Gu Heng had offered to reward him, which was something he could not refuse, let alone reject the kindness of such a powerful person.
Perhaps, Young Master Gu doesn't care, or perhaps, he harbors a slight resentment towards him.
and so.
Old Gu generously accepted them all.
As for the treasure that occupied most of the backyard, he was well aware of his own limitations and knew he shouldn't bother scheming about it.
Sometimes, people should know how to be content.
Greedy people always pay a terrible price.
"Keep investigating, the deeper the better, and I will never be stingy with the reward."
Gu Heng is now looking forward to what will happen next. Perhaps Old Gu and his old buddies will be able to play a role that he can't even imagine.
"I, an old man, will not let you down! No matter who stands behind the Blood Shadow Tower, I will dig them out and find out the truth!"
"It's okay, take your time, I'm not in a hurry."
Gu Heng got up and tried to calm the old man down. Seeing his face was as red as if he'd been injected with chicken blood, Gu Heng was really afraid that if he got so excited, he might catch his breath and burp on the spot.
As he escorted him to the front yard, before leaving, the old man said again, "I heard that Miss Fei'er has gained the favor of the sect leader of the Myriad Swords Immortal Sect and has already been accepted as a disciple..."
"The Bai family is now fully prepared and the entire clan has moved away from the Sunflame Dynasty."
"Ah, I know about this... It's a good thing, Miss Fei'er will definitely have a bright future."
Gu Heng adopted an air of superiority, feigning mystery.
Although he had helped Bai Feier and Jiang Lingyun get together, the old man certainly wouldn't believe it if he told him. What merit did he have to be able to talk to the number one swordsman in the world? But that was the truth.
It would be too absurd to say it out loud, so Gu Heng was too lazy to brag. He would wait until he became strong enough before talking about it.
Becoming stronger has many benefits, one of which is that no matter what you say, there will be people who take it as the truth and defend you.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
Gu Heng said, "My disciple and I are moving to the Central Region, where she will receive better training."
It's time to leave Cloud Spirit City.
If he were still a mortal, and so was the little girl, then this peaceful little place would indeed be a good place to stay for a lifetime. But things are unpredictable. Now that they are both cultivators, they should be qualified to see a bigger world.
Gu Heng knew that Yunling City, and even the Riyan Dynasty, was only a small part of the eastern border of the Xuantian Realm.
It wasn't particularly exciting. Although his experiences recently were quite good.
But it can be better.
"Leave, that's right. After all, war is about to break out here, and you need to find another place to avoid getting involved and disturbing your peace..."
"Those damned demon beasts, after so many years, they want to start another war. They're really causing trouble!"
Old Gu sighed, his expression turning serious.
...war?
Gu Heng's expression inevitably stiffened.
What? Why is a war breaking out all of a sudden?
