Gu Master Era: My Toad Swallowed the School Beauty at the Beginning

The Chongxiao Tower trade fair concluded, and many attendees left with satisfaction, proving the event's great success!

Zhong Li's chosen market target was clear: mid-level Gu Masters and small to medium-sized families not affiliated with major powers. These people had money and some good items, but due to the monopoly of the major powers, they lacked channels to obtain high-end resources. The Chongxiao Tower auction catered precisely to the consumption needs of this group.

Although Chongxiao Tower's trade fair was free, allowing everyone to take advantage of it, it established recognition and would bring them a continuous stream of benefits in the future.

As Wang Xiao followed Zhong Li downstairs, he saw Old Man Xue, who had previously requested detoxification for his grandson, arriving at the shop carrying a comatose young man on his back.

"I am Xue Chong'an, and this is my grandson, Xue Pan. May I know which expert will detoxify Xue Pan?"

Zhong Li looked at Wang Xiao, who said, "I will detoxify him. Arrange a quiet room, settle Xue Pan in, the poison of the Withered Serpent is not so easy to remove. I need to prepare first, and the detoxification will take a few days!"

Seeing how young Wang Xiao was, Xue Chong'an felt a little distrustful. The poison of the Withered Serpent was incurable throughout the world. How could a mere child who isn't even a level seven Gu Master detoxify it!

But he had no other choice and could only hold onto a glimmer of hope, choosing to believe in Wang Xiao.

"I thank you in advance, Little Mister!"

Wang Xiao nodded, "Yes, pay the reward first. Come to Chongxiao Tower to pick him up in a week. I guarantee you a healthy grandson by then!"

Damn!

He wants the reward upfront!

Could I have run into a scammer?

This was Old Man Xue's first reaction!

He hesitated for a moment, but to save his grandson, he decided to take a gamble. So, he took out the Thunderbird Magic Crystal and handed it to Wang Xiao.

Old Man Xue had also heard that the two young bosses of Chongxiao Tower were a young master from the Zhong family and a disciple of a certain senior expert. Presumably, they wouldn't deceive him for a magic crystal.

Wang Xiao took the magic crystal, opened the box, glanced at it, and nodded, "Alright, Elder Xue, rest assured. Just remember to pick him up in a week!"

Xue Chong'an nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay! Then I'll trouble you, Little Mister!"

Then he left reluctantly.

Wang Xiao then said to Zhong Li, "When I detoxify, I'll be using a unique secret method. Don't you dare peek!"

Zhong Li rolled his eyes, "Get lost, who would peek at you? You're not a beautiful woman!"

In fact, Wang Xiao's words were not for Zhong Li, but for others to hear.

For example, Cang Haikong, who had been watching from the sidelines, hadn't left because he wanted to see how Wang Xiao would detoxify the poison. After all, this was a problem for the entire Gu Master world, and he was curious how Wang Xiao would do it!

Hearing Wang Xiao say this, Cang Haikong was embarrassed to stay.

He said, "Wang Xiao, Zhong Li, there's nothing else here, so I'll take my leave!"

Zhong Li hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, as he wanted to get close to this great expert! Wang Xiao also politely said a few words, but Cang Haikong insisted on leaving.

Zhong Li knew how to handle people, so he quickly had someone bring a package of things over, "Teacher Cang, thanks to you being here today, otherwise those who came to cause trouble wouldn't have been so easy to deal with. Thank you very much! This is a package of Cloud Mist Spiritual Tea, take it back and drink it, consider it a small token of my appreciation!"

Cang Haikong had originally come to repay a favor, and was showing goodwill to Wang Xiao. If he took the gift, it would be like a transaction, so he firmly refused and left after a few polite words.

Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when Cang Haikong left.

To detoxify, he had to release the Mang Gu Zhu Toad. This was an orange crystal spiritual Gu. If Cang Haikong recognized it, even though they belonged to the same camp, he might not have bad intentions, but the orange crystal spiritual Gu was no small matter. It was best not to expose it.

He would rather be cautious than put himself in danger!

Fortunately, Cang Haikong was sensible and immediately took the initiative to leave.

Now, Wang Xiao could safely use the Mang Gu Zhu Toad to detoxify the poison.

Once Cang Haikong left, Zhong Li also relaxed and asked, "Wang Xiao? Can you really detoxify the poison of the Withered Serpent? You wouldn't be thinking of asking your master, would you? I'm telling you, that's not worth it. The poison of withering is very difficult to deal with. Even your master would have to consume a lot of energy and take a lot of time to recover! Moreover, favors can't be used casually. Use them too much and there will be no more favors left, even if he is your master!"

Wang Xiao was speechless, "Am I that stupid? That's my master, not my disciple. Am I supposed to order him around at will? Don't worry, the poison of a small Withered Serpent can't stump me. Moreover, I need a lot of strange poisons to refine Gu. Buy them for me in the future when you encounter them, don't be afraid to spend money!"

Zhong Li muttered, "I can't see through you more and more! Forget it, you want poisonous things, right? It just so happens that I have a batch stored in the warehouse at home. I'll give them all to you later, of course, the money can't be less!"

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Wang Xiao added, "Those two people who caused trouble at the trade fair, I put something on them. I found out they both went to the Wan Corporation!"

Zhong Li nodded, "Did you even need to tell me that? I already knew! After those two left, I sent people to keep an eye on them. They were very cunning and circled around the city a few times before returning to the Wan Corporation!"

"Then how do we retaliate?"

"Retaliate what! We can only pretend to be weak! Commercial matters can only be resolved through commercial means! We are not as good as the Wan Corporation now, but we may not be in the future. Let's pretend to be grandsons first, and in the future, we will overthrow that bitch Wan Keying and let her know how powerful we are, to avenge today's revenge!"

Wang Xiao nodded. Indeed, the Wan Corporation was a behemoth. If it weren't for the fact that Zhong Li had the Zhong family behind him, and Wang Xiao had Sun Hong behind him, they could crush them like small bugs in minutes!

Wang Xiao never belittled himself, nor would he become arrogant just because he had some backing!

When the enemy is strong and we are weak, we must be humble!

Being able to adapt, being able to be flexible, being able to bend and stretch, only then can one transform into a dragon and fly one day!

After chatting with Zhong Li for a while, Wang Xiao went upstairs to the room where Xue Pan was placed.

This Xue Pan looked to be in his twenties. I don't know what this guy did, but he was so unlucky to be bitten by the Withered Serpent. This strange snake is a magical beast and is very rare!

Xue Pan was in a coma. Wang Xiao was worried that he would suddenly wake up during the detoxification process, so he first activated the Dream-Eating Worm, planted a seed of dream in him, and weaved a spring dream for him to sleep continuously, sleeping for a week before waking up.

Then Wang Xiao released the Mang Gu Zhu Toad.

What he didn't expect was that as soon as the Mang Gu Zhu Toad came out, it stared at the Dream-Eating Worm with its bulging eyes. The Dream-Eating Worm also changed its lazy state, raised its head like a snake, and confronted the Mang Gu Zhu Toad.

Wang Xiao immediately realized that these two spiritual Gu were filled with hostility towards each other. If they didn't have a common master and were bound by a blood contract, they would have already started fighting!

Huh!

Are these two guys mortal enemies?

He didn't bother to think too much about it. Whether you have hatred between you or not, you are both my lackeys now. If you have hatred, you have to hold it back!

Wang Xiao took back the Dream-Eating Worm, and the Mang Gu Zhu Toad then turned its gaze to Xue Pan.

It had already smelled the scent of poison.

Wang Xiao conveyed the order through his mind: "Suck out the venom from his body, but be careful not to kill him!"

He had to make it clear, otherwise, according to the Mang Gu Zhu Toad's eating habits, it would first kill the target and then absorb the venom from him.

Upon receiving Wang Xiao's order, the Mang Gu Zhu Toad jumped onto Xue Pan and bit one of Xue Pan's fingers, sucking hard.

The Withered Poison, which was extremely troublesome for humans, was very docile at this moment. With a gentle suck from the Mang Gu Zhu Toad, it all gathered towards Xue Pan's finger and was sucked into the Mang Gu Zhu Toad's stomach.

More than ten minutes later, the Mang Gu Zhu Toad gurgled, and jumped back to Wang Xiao with satisfaction.

The gray and white color on Xue Pan's face had completely faded, and he appeared ruddy. The venom in his body had been completely cleared.

Wang Xiao nodded with satisfaction, picked up the Mang Gu Zhu Toad, and praised, "As expected of the King of Ten Thousand Poisons, thumbs up for you!"

Mang Gu Zhu Toad: "Goo! Goo!" (Translation: Thank you for the praise, Master. It's all thanks to the Master's good leadership! Note ①)

[Note ①: The author vows with his chastity that this is not to increase the word count, but only because he is worried that everyone will not understand the toad's language, so he translates it!]
