Chapter 5 The Clan Sacrifice Begins

If Gu Lingzhi said something else, it would be fine, but she mentioned Xiao Tao, which made Cuilian have to be cautious.

That little peach had already been bought by Mrs., and she also knew Mrs. 's methods, why would she willingly replace Gu Lingzhi, is it really as Gu Lingzhi said, is the antidote to this poison difficult to concoct?

Seeing that Cuilian was a little shaken, Gu Lingzhi said step by step: "I don't want you to go against the Lin family, as long as when she asks about me, you can answer according to her hope, this point, Xiao Tao has done very well before." ”

Cuilian's eyes flickered. "But...... Madame has a good understanding of me. ”

Gu Lingzhi smiled. "That's where you still have use. ”

Knowing that Cuilian had been moved by herself, Gu Lingzhi sat back in the chair elegantly.

"If Xiao Tao did what happened yesterday according to the Lin family, what kind of consequences do you think Xiao Tao will have? I don't even know that a man broke into the master's room, and at least it was the result of being crippled and thrown out of the house. And the Lin clan already suspects that there is something wrong with me, but they still let you spy on me, so they are not afraid that you will be in danger?"

These two questions drilled into Cuilian's mind, and immediately made Cuilian's already wavering mind even more shaken.

In the end, she compromised in Gu Lingzhi's gaze that seemed to be able to see through her thoughts.

Seeing Cuilian bow her head, Gu Ling's heart also breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, her heart is not as confident as it appears. It can be said that the timing of Xiao Tao's incident was too good, so that she had the excuse to make Cuilian afraid. And the pill she fed to Cuilian before was poison for a person with a spiritual root, but for ordinary people, it was only weak for two days at most.

Because that pill was a residual poison formed after the toxin was discharged from her body. The elixir she got in the inheritance space last night unexpectedly expelled the toxins accumulated in her body from drinking medicine for many years, allowing her spiritual root to return to clarity. It can also allow her to condense spiritual power in the palm of her hand according to the method of cultivation in her previous life.

Originally, she planned to keep this pill for slow research, wanting to see if she could develop the same poison and return it to the Lin family, but she didn't expect to use it like this. It's a bit of a pity.

"Miss, what about the poisonous ...... on my body"

"It's not in the way, as long as you take one antidote I gave you every month, it won't cause any harm to your body. I've got some business to do, so go down. ”

Hearing this, although Cuilian had bitterness in her heart, she could only nod and retreat.

When Cuilian went out. Gu Lingzhi re-entered the space. This time, she went straight to the bookcase where the heaven-level exercises were placed with a clear goal, selected a book of exercises that were more suitable for her cultivation from above, and sat on the ground to meditate.

With Cuilian prevaricating Lin Yue'e, Gu Lingzhi's life was extraordinarily smooth.

The daily decoction was still served on time, but before it was served to Gu Lingzhi, it was poured out by Cuilian.

On the fifth day of the eighth month, on this day, after the big bell in the clan rang nine times, Gu Lingzhi went out.

Along the way, most of the people who saw her passed by indifferently, and even if they paused slightly, they looked at her with disdain.

Gu Lingzhi's biological mother committed suicide by stealing someone is not a secret in the Gu family. It is even rumored that the reason why Gu Lingzhi does not have a spiritual root is because she is not Gu Rong's daughter at all, but her mother who secretly gave birth to her. Otherwise, how could two people with excellent spiritual root qualifications give birth to a waste?

In fact, the parents are both strong people, and it is not unheard of in the Tianyuan Continent that the children born have no spiritual roots. It's just that it was spread by someone with a heart, and it changed its taste.

In the past, Gu Lingzhi might have doubted his mother because of rumors, but Gu Lingzhi, who knew the truth of the matter, would never think like that again.

"Yo, isn't this the spirit of the spirit, why do you come to the clan sacrifice?" a slightly flirtatious female voice came. is the daughter of the second uncle's family, called Gu Lingyue. At the age of nineteen, she was already a seventh-level spirit disciple.

The people in the Tian Yuan Continent who possess the spiritual root are called spiritual warriors. The cultivation from low to high is the spiritual disciple, the spiritual person, the spiritual master, the spiritual monarch, the spiritual saint, the demigod, and the true god. The higher the cultivation, the more difficult it is to break through. Each stage is divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate and advanced. Among them, the spirit disciples, because they have just entered the ranks of spirit warriors, are divided more carefully, with a total of nine levels.

A spirit martial artist like Gu Lingyue, who was already a seventh-level spirit disciple in less than twenty, was considered to have good qualifications among the spirit martial artists in the entire continent.

"The clan sacrifice is a major event for the whole clan, how can I, as a member of the family, not participate?" Gu Lingzhi's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, but it made Gu Lingyue a little surprised. You must know that Gu Lingzhi in the past, every time he heard a question about his qualifications, he looked inferior, and he had never behaved so calmly.

"My sister is right, the clan sacrifice is a major event for the whole clan, how can you not participate?" Gu Linglong's voice came from behind him. Standing with Gu Lingyue, she hugged the other party's arm very affectionately, turned her head and smiled: "But for my sister, it's the same whether I come or not, right? ”

Gu Lingyue covered her mouth and chuckled when she heard this. "Linglong, how can you say that? no matter how you say that she is also your sister, you must save some face for her. ”

"Does she still want face?" Gu Linglong sneered. "Sister Lingyue, you don't know yet, right? She, she did a big thing some time ago, and she couldn't steal people, but she lost her personal maid. also pretending to be a victim, my mother has been worried about this a lot during this time. ”

When Gu Lingzhi heard this, he wanted to cross their bodies for a moment, but the palm on his side instantly clenched into a fist, closed his eyes and put it down. Turning his head, he looked at Gu Linglong calmly.

"That night I prayed for my father's blessing at the ancestral hall, and everyone who guarded the ancestral hall could testify. Why did my sister suddenly come to me that night? Could it be that she knew something?"

Since that day, Lin Yue'e and Gu Linglong have hardly come to her yard, and only symbolically comforted her a few words on the second day of the incident, tested her tone, and didn't trouble her again. Unexpectedly, Gu Linglong took the initiative to mention this matter.

Unexpectedly, the sister who was angry on weekdays would actually talk back, and with a weak heart of being a thief, Gu Linglong actually stuttered under Gu Lingzhi's gaze. "I—How can I know about you? As a younger sister, do you have to pick a day to talk to your sister?"

"You don't have to pick a day. Gu Lingzhi nodded. "It's such a coincidence that my sister came to me. I also want to thank my sister for this move, so that Xiao Tao will not be ruined in vain, otherwise there will not even be a person in charge. Isn't that pitiful?"
