Chapter 904

Han Li and Gu Qianxun followed the short and fat Youth all the way to the top floor of the Yanyang Pagoda and stopped outside a room.

"My Lord, the two guests have arrived …" The short and fat Youth stood with his hands behind his back and shouted respectfully.

"Since they're here, let them in. Why are they dawdling at the door!" A slightly hoarse voice rang out, sounding a little impatient.

Han Li and Gu Qianxun looked at each other and frowned at the same time.

The short and fat Youth did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly raised his hand to feel around the door a few times.

A scraping sound rang out and the stone door of the room slowly moved to the side, revealing a wide opening. A meaty aroma wafted out from within.

Han Li wrinkled his nose and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He walked in with Gu Qianxun and the stone door slowly closed.

As soon as he entered the room, the meaty aroma became even stronger. Han Li swept his gaze around and saw that there was a large stone table with a strange appearance placed near the window.

There was a big hole in the center of the stone table, and there was a big pot on it. There seemed to be a charcoal fire burning underneath it, and the milky white soup in the pot was boiling, with huge bubbles rolling on the surface.

Inside the pot were thick bones and tendons of unknown exotic beasts, and the aroma filled the air.

Behind the stone table, a short but sturdy black-robed old man was bare-chested with his sleeves rolled up. In one hand, he was holding a beast bone that was as thick as an arm. With his mouth full of grease, he was gnawing on the tendons of the bone. In the other hand, he was holding a white bone and gently rubbing it.

The old man looked no different from a human. Perhaps it was because he was too close to the charcoal fire, but his face was red from the heat. The front half of his head was already bald, but the beard under his chin was very thick. It was separated into three thick braids and was also covered in grease.

Even though he already knew that 'Madam' was just a special title for a Weapon Forging Master, when he saw Madam Liuhua's appearance, Han Li could not help but feel a little out of place.

"Which one of you is this bone plate …" Madam Liuhua turned around and asked.

But when he saw Gu Qianxun's appearance, his entire body froze.

"Too similar, too similar, simply too similar … What is your relationship with the owner of this domino?"

The beast bone in Madam Liuhua's hand fell onto the stone table with a loud thud. She slowly stood up from the table and walked to Gu Qianxun's side, raising her head to look at her face.

"The owner of the bone plate is my mother." Gu Qianxun felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze as she turned her head away.

"You're Hong Yu's daughter … What's your name?" Madam Liu Hua asked with a frown.

"This junior is Gu Qianxun," Gu Qianxun replied.

"Gu Qianxun … Your surname is Gu?

Who is your father? "Madam Liu Hua's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness when she heard this.

"Junior … Junior doesn't know.

This junior has never seen my father, and my mother has never mentioned him either. She only said that this junior's father is the original owner of this bone plate, and that my surname … came from this bone plate. "Gu Qianxun said slowly.

As she finished speaking, her gaze shifted to Madam Liu Hua's face and curiously looked at her. She already had some guesses about the relationship between her mother and Madam Liu Hua.

Han Li, who was standing at the side, seemed to have noticed something. His heart calmed down a little and he started to blame Gu Qianxun. Since there was such a relationship, why didn't she tell him earlier? She made him worry for nothing for so long.

"Your mother … Is she well?" Madam Liu Hua's gaze turned gentle as she asked with some emotion.

"Mother, she … she has already passed away …" Gu Qianxun's eyes flashed with a trace of sorrow as she spoke.

"What?

Hong Yu, she … How? "Madam Liu Hua's expression changed as her eyes widened and she asked anxiously.

"Mother's True Spirit Bloodline was coveted by others, and many years ago …" Gu Qianxun did not manage to finish her sentence.

Madam Liu Hua only heard half of her sentence when she placed her hands behind her back. Her face was ashen as she paced back and forth on the spot. Her fists were clenched so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. An indistinct aura was being emitted from her body as if she was forcefully suppressing the anger in her heart.

In the end, a trace of regret flashed across her eyes as she stopped.

"Tell me about this in detail later. Come and sit first." Madam Liu Hua slowly walked back to her seat and sat down.

Han Li and Liu Hua also followed her over and sat opposite her.

"Who is this brat?

Your dao companion? "

Madam Liu Hua's attention had been on Gu Qianxun the entire time. Only now did she notice Han Li. She could not help but frown and ask.

Han Li saw her suspicious gaze as if she was sizing up her son-in-law. There was even a trace of disdain in her eyes. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Senior, you have misunderstood. I am Han Li Feiyu, a … friend of Fellow Daoist Gu."

"Tell me, are you here to buy a weapon or to have one custom-made?

If you want to have a custom-made weapon, you can only tell me your requirements. Don't bring me any bullsh * t blueprints. I only recognize the weapons that I have designed myself. Others' … are all stinking dog sh * t. "Madam Liu Hua looked at Han Li and frowned. It was obvious that she was talking to him.

"Senior, you have misunderstood. We are not here to buy a weapon, nor are we here to have one custom-made," Gu Qianxun said.

"If you are not here for a weapon, then what are you here for?" Madam Liu Hua frowned slightly and asked.

"To tell you the truth, this junior is here to ask for the secret method to get rid of the Black Tribulation Bug." Han Li opened his mouth and said.

When Madam Liu Hua heard this, a trace of complex emotions flashed across her eyes. She asked, "Are you from Qingyang City?"

"Why do you say so, senior?" Han Li's heart moved as he asked.

"I have only passed on the method to tame the Black Tribulation Bug to Du Qingyang. As long as he is not an idiot, he will not pass it on to anyone else. I believe that no one else in the Xuan City will know about it. I am afraid that you are from Qingyang City." Madam Liu Hua sighed and said.

"Senior, you are right. We are indeed from Qingyang City. Previously, we were threatened by Du Qingyang with the Black Tribulation Bug. Today, we are here to ask for the method to solve the problem." Han Li said.

Madam Liu Hua glanced at the two and asked, "So you're saying that Du Qingyang's death is most likely related to you?"

"The method to tame the Black Tribulation Bug was passed on to Du Qingyang by you?" When Gu Qianxun heard this, her expression changed and she asked.

Madam Liu Hua noticed that Gu Qianxun did not call her "senior", but "you". She did not know why, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"I do not dare to lie to senior. Previously, Du Qingyang wanted to use a secret technique to absorb our blood essence. I had no choice but to join forces with the current city lord to overthrow him." Han Li saw this and interrupted.

"That year, I owed him a great debt of gratitude. Therefore, I passed on the method to tame the Black Tribulation Bug to him. As for what he used it on, I really do not know." Madam Liu Hua sighed and looked at Gu Qianxun as she said with a guilty conscience.

"He used it on Fellow Daoist Li, on me … Back then, he also used it on Mother." Gu Qianxun stared at Madam Liu Hua as she gritted her teeth and said.

"You are saying that … your mother was killed by Du Qingyang?" When Madam Liu Hua heard this, her expression became extremely solemn.

"Although I cannot be sure, I am afraid that Qin Yuan, the city lord, is also involved in the kidnapping of my mother from Xuan Zhi City by Du Qingyang." Gu Qianxun gritted her teeth and said.

"This matter … we will talk about it later.

You should already have the Black Calamity Stone on you, right?

Otherwise, you would not be able to live peacefully until now. However, even if you have this item, it is not a long-term solution. "Madam Liu Hua's expression became serious as she said thoughtfully.

"Senior, you mean …" Han Li asked with a frown.

"The Black Calamity Stone can indeed stop the growth of the Black Tribulation Bug. However, its effect is decreasing day by day. When it completely loses its effect, it will be the time when the Black Tribulation Bug will completely devour you.

At that time, it will only be more ferocious and you will definitely die. "Madam Liu Hua said indifferently.

"Since I have already found you, I hope that you can help us get rid of this bug." Han Li cupped his hands and said.

"If you want me to save you, you must first promise me something." Madam Liu Hua said after thinking for a moment.

"Senior, please speak." Han Li said.

"Acknowledge me as your master and become my disciple." Madam Liu Hua said as she shook her head.

"Acknowledge you as my master?" Han Li was stunned as he said in disbelief.

Gu Qianxun's expression also changed slightly as she was extremely surprised.

"Why?

You are not willing? "Madam Liu Hua's eyes narrowed as she asked coldly.

"It is not that I am unwilling, but I do not understand. Senior, please tell me the reason." Han Li took a deep breath and said.

Due to the fact that Doctor Mo had left a deep impression on Han Li, he did not care much about the relationship between master and disciple. However, if he could learn the art of weapon forging from Madam Liu Hua, he did not mind.

"There is no reason. As a fellow human, I find you pleasing to the eye. Is this reason enough?" Madam Liu Hua snorted.

"It's enough. It's this junior's good fortune to be able to gain Senior's favor.

However, I wonder if there are any restrictions to becoming your disciple? "Han Li asked.

"There are naturally restrictions. You must stay by my side and serve me. You cannot leave for at least ten thousand years." Madam Liu Hua nodded her head and said.

"Cannot leave for ten thousand years?" Han Li frowned as he heard this.

"To a cultivator, ten thousand years is but a blink of an eye. Why … do you not even have this little bit of patience?

To tell you the truth, many people have begged me to accept them as my disciple, but I can't even be bothered to look at them. You better know what's good for you. "Madam Liu Hua said arrogantly.

"I naturally understand this point. However, I am entering the Accumulated Scale Spatial Realm to find an extremely important person. Before I find her, I cannot stay in Xuan City. Therefore, I can only reject your good intentions." Han Li shook his head and said calmly.
