Chapter 402 - Vicious Poison!
Lu Kangnian had noticed the problem too. No one knew what the poison was.
The sect alchemist, an elder surnamed Yu, was only a tier-three alchemist, and when Li Guanqi showed them the recording, none of them could identify the poison.
Li Guanqi drew a steady breath. “Old Gu, I’m at the Daxia Sword Sect. Would it be alright for me to invite you over?”
Soon, Gu Yan’s sonorous voice echoed through. “Hahaha! Are you inviting me to your sect? I happen to be in the Northern Territory right now. I’ll head over in two days.”
Li Guanqi thought for a moment and said, “There’s something I need your help with. It’s very serious.”
In a lavish building elsewhere, Gu Yan blanched. He pushed away the mischievous kid at his side and frowned. “Alright, I’ll go now.”
People around him looked at him. “Old Gu, what’s gotten into you?”
Before he could speak, Li Guanqi’s voice sounded again. “Thank you. Could you bring a tier-five alchemist with you as well? We’ll discuss payment later. But you must travel in secret.”
Gu Yan’s eyes narrowed. He subconsciously clenched his fist under his sleeve, then turned to a stout old man with long eyebrows in fire-red robes.
“Old Sun, come with me.”
Sun Miao frowned. He had already heard the message transmitted through the jade slip. He glanced at Gu Yan and sent a voice transmission. “Who was that? Who could make you drop everything and drag me along too?”
Sun Miao was one of the few tier-five alchemists in the Azure Cloud Continent. He was very good friends with Gu Yan, so he didn’t mind asking directly.
