Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Chapter 109 Blood Refining Great Success! Open Strife and Veiled Contention!

The Blade Operator’s Courtyard.

Gu Sheng walked slowly through the gate, instantly drawing everyone’s attention. He moved quickly, had taken Poison Bee Guest’s head, and rushed directly to Canghe County’s city. At this point, no one knew he had casually slaughtered the Gale Wind Trio along the way.

Still, the bloodstained head in his hand carried a formidable aura.

Some people were aware that Gu Sheng had accepted the mission to eliminate Poison Bee Guest. Now that he returned with the head, it naturally meant—

Gu Sheng had completed the task.

This was no ordinary feat; it was snatching meat from the tiger’s jaws among a group of formidable Blade Operators.

Gu Sheng paid no attention to the crowd and casually tossed the head forward. A minor official hurriedly picked it up, carefully comparing it with Lian Xubai’s portrait.

"It’s... it’s Poison Bee Guest Lian Xubai!"

"Congratulations, Lord Butcher, for eliminating the scum and completing the mission!"

Amid the wave of congratulations erupting around him, Gu Sheng’s expression remained cold. He knew there was scheming behind this mission, and he naturally wouldn’t show gratitude or a friendly face. If anything were out of place, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Blade Operator known as ’Butcher’ disappeared from Canghe County entirely after this.

He had no intention of drawing too much attention or becoming someone else’s pawn or bargaining chip.

"The reward," Gu Sheng said, his voice betraying no emotion.

"Y-yes, sir, just a moment," the minor official stammered as he rushed to the back courtyard.

Not long after, he returned in a fluster, carrying a silver note and a blue-and-white book, which was evidently freshly transcribed.

"Sir, this is the reward for the mission."

Gu Sheng accepted it, pocketing the silver note casually, and then opened the Golden Body Skill manual.

His brows furrowed slightly.

The Golden Body Skill manual only contained cultivation techniques, without any insights or cultivation experiences.

He distinctly remembered that Lu Luo had mentioned during the auction that the Golden Body Skill came with cultivation experiences and insights up to the Great Achievement Realm.

"Sir, is there something wrong?" The minor official, seeing Gu Sheng’s frown, trembled nervously.

Gu Sheng shook his head slowly, merely casting a deep glance toward the back courtyard before striding away.

Well, no insights are no insights. It’s understandable. If the manual had included cultivation insights, its value would have been more than double. Poison Bee Guest didn’t warrant that investment.

Back courtyard.

Watching Gu Sheng leave without a word, Zhang Guangqun let out a scoffing laugh.

"This Butcher is as unruly as expected. It seems he has indeed sensed something. Still, I didn’t anticipate that his strength was this capable. A newcomer climbing past others to complete the mission first—he must be someone rough on the surface but meticulous beneath."

A subordinate beside him immediately chimed in with flattery:

"No matter how unruly he is, he still has to beg for scraps under your authority, Lord."

Zhang Guangqun curled his lips into a faint smile.

"I’m not worried about him being unruly. I’m worried he would lack capability. A person like that, if properly groomed, will surely become a powerful asset under the Magistrate someday!"

At that moment.

A figure in black robes swiftly entered the courtyard and whispered something into Zhang Guangqun’s ear.
