I Have Medicine

Chapter 121



...Yes, he was fortunate to have found his big brother.

After that, Gu Zuo’s frame of mind became tranquil.

He was truly thinking too much. Matters that never happened would never happen. There was no need to get upset over nothing.

That young woman acted like she didn’t discover anything inappropriate. She only waited for Tianheng’s placating to finish before making a sweet-tempered smile. She inquisitively looked at the two: "Would the customers like to make their selections? If you have any specific requests, this slave can explain to our customers. If the customers have any dissatisfactions, you can also raise any issues to this slave."

Tianheng slightly nodded: "I need the strongest one among equivalent realms."

The young woman still wore a smiling expression as she extended a silky-white hand: "I ask that the customers please follow this slave."

Gongyi Tianheng didn’t let go of Gu Zuo, and brought him along while keeping his hands on his shoulders.

Gu Zuo’s heart warmed up a little and went obediently.

The hidden chamber was very big and there were many martial artists being sold in here. However, as they were viewed as merchandise to be sold, this was an extremely intense humiliation — Although there were many martial artists whose faces wore furious expressions, there were even more who became dispirited after their long imprisonment and loss of qi and blood.

Naturally, this kind of depression wasn’t something Gongyi Tianheng desired.

The deeper they walked in, the fiercer the martial artists’ glares burned. Most of them were poverty-stricken, solo martial artists, who arduously practiced martial arts to a certain realm. But because of all sorts of reasons, they were reduced to slaves. It was pitiful. In addition, being offered up for sale by someone had led to this situation, so they were even more furious at the world and their resentment skyrocketed.

However, the notions of the people in this trading company were roughly the same as Gongyi Tianheng’s. The stronger martial artists were closer to the interior. Their willpower was steadier and their spirits were better.

At last, a group of people walked to the end.

The young woman turned around, pointing to the martial artists who were tied up on both sides of her: "Customers, please take a look. These five slaves are all perfect Houtian specimens. Each one’s qi and blood are about thirty percent denser than ordinary martial artists, and their strengths are outstanding. At the time, this small store had expended a great deal of manpower to capture them.

She continued: "Right now, their willpower hasn’t died out and their realms haven’t decreased in the slightest. Their temperaments are very fierce. If you want to make them battle slaves, they would be the ideal choice."

Tianheng nodded: "Wait while I give a careful look."

Gu Zuo was also a little curious and went to look back and forth.

These five people were all men, but Gu Zuo didn’t naively think that this trading company didn’t capture female martial artists — If one thought about it, it would be even more frightening. Just for these five male martial artists, no matter how violent they were, one could still see the unwillingness and helplessness in the depths of their eyes.

No one wanted to become a slave. Even if they were slaves who were already captured, they still wouldn’t stop thinking about how to escape and obtain their freedom.

He came from the modern era, so he naturally didn’t like this sort of matter of buying and selling human beings. But he also was aware of the basis of following the local customs. When killing in this world was so casual, what was the buying and selling of slaves? Dislike was dislike, but the people close to him were different. If he was unwilling to let Dragon One and Dragon Two test the medicine... He could only do this.

Fortunately, although he didn’t know the effects of the two Xiantian Pills, a person definitely wouldn’t die from eating it.

With a pharmacist’s vision, Gu Zuo took to heart the full details of the five martial artists’ appearances.

His big brother wouldn’t treat his subordinates unfairly. Yet, even if he bought a slave, the person selected also couldn’t possibly be the type who was disloyal. Not to say that one could tell if someone was trustworthy just from looking at their appearance. In any case, it would somewhat provide the feeling of a discerning eye. If they really were the sort who were particularly bad, there should be some response under his increasingly powerful psychic power right now.

Maybe, he could give his big brother a little advice.

During this kind of thinking, Tianheng had already picked someone: "Ah Zuo, come help me look."

Gu Zuo raised his face with a smile. According to his dear big brother’s indication, he looked towards two martial artists sitting on connected iron chairs to the right.

They were two men who seemed to be no more than thirty years old. Their statures were robust, their temperaments were swift and fierce, and their looks had the taint of ruthlessness. It was clear that numerous lives had pa.s.sed under their hands.

Gu Zuo came and looked. The vicious nature of these two would be hard to tame, so they were people who’d be difficult to inspire loyalty in. As for any redeeming qualities, it was probably that they definitely weren’t cunning. Additionally, the two of them were acquaintances, and the relationship between them seemed pretty good. This kind of relationship could be summed up as them being very loyal to each other?

Seeing that Gongyi Tianheng was in the middle of choosing them, that young woman came over to give a timely explanation: "These two are called Qian Hu and Liu Bao. In their early years, because their names had some predestined affinity, they bonded together as sworn brothers. After that, because they started practicing martial arts late and there was no one to give them pointers, they joined various sects but couldn’t obtain much power. Afterwards, in order to try and gain martial arts resources, they resorted to king of the mountain-type banditry.

She continued: "In order to catch these two, this small store had to dispatch a team of no less than twenty people last time to capture them alive. It also had to use first-rate medicinal herbs to continuously support their physiques and maintain their current state."

She paused somewhat to give them time to digest this information before speaking again, "They achieved perfect Houtian at an age around twenty five years old. Nowadays, the distance from Xiantian is merely a thread away. On top of that, their nature is fierce and tough. If they were treated as combat slaves and carefully cultivated, their value should rise considerably."

Tianheng raised an eyebrow and smiled: "They actually sound pretty good. In that case, would it be possible for this establishment to go over some of the bad points?"

The young woman’s smiling expression didn’t change: "The defective ones are those who aren’t good at being tamed. However, a slave that’s convinced of its customer’s power should be won over wholeheartedly. If the customer has no intention of taming, this small store will affix it with a Thunder Talisman Necklace... Would the customer please take a look."

She delicately pointed right at Qian Hu and Liu Bao’s necks, which indeed had been looped with a ring-shaped object. She said: "So long as the customer is recognized as that necklace’s owner, once these two slaves are disobedient, even lighting strikes can be used as punishment. At that time, the two will naturally be obedient."

Gu Zuo was inwardly speechless: Lightning strikes! How cruel...

But he also knew that if there were no restriction methods, these unyielding so-called slaves were ones who would never listen to commands. At that time, they would instead cause lots of trouble for the purchaser.

Gongyi Tianheng looked at those two men, and asked: "You two can follow me back. Are you willing to surrender and pledge your allegiance to me?"

Qian Hu and Liu Bao heard what was said, and narrowed their eyes: "If you dare to buy us, then it’s only natural that we’ll pledge ourselves to you."

Tianheng smirked: "Since you’ve spoken as such, if you refuse to obey orders after going back, I have ways of processing you two. But if you seriously comply, I also won’t treat you unfairly."

Qian Hu stared fixedly at Gongyi Tianheng, exposing a malicious grin.

Liu Bao also had the same response, and said one more thing: "Wait and see."

Gu Zuo knit his brows.

Truth be told, these guys’ manners were really terrible. He could understand that a mountain king who was captured and made into a slave would be someone with a bad heart. It was just that one would treat family differently. This kind of provocation of theirs to his big brother also made him a little uncomfortable.

After that, he sighed...

Whatever. They were also very pitiful.

In any case, his big brother’s charisma would ultimately be able to subdue them. Moreover, he believed that if these two men really obtained big brother’s trust, then they could become subordinates and wouldn’t be slaves anymore.

The chat between Tianheng and the two enslaved martial artists was very brief. After verifying their personalities, he inclined his head towards that young woman: "What would be the price for these two?"

The young woman saw that business would be completed, and smiled sweetly: "Ones with excellent apt.i.tudes that can mature into combat slaves. Each one is five hundred thousand gold."

Gu Zuo’s eyes abruptly widened.

This definitely wasn’t too expensive. Rather, it was too cheap...

Because of his current abilities, so long as he refined fifty top grade Revitalization Pills, the gold from the ones sold would be about the same amount. And each day, he could refine many cauldrons and each cauldron all had sixteen pills. That is, even if the production costs were deducted, when all was said and done, the life of a young and robust martial artist with a realm equal to his big brother’s was actually worth less than four cauldrons of Revitalization Pills! This didn’t even cost him a single day’s time!

The cheapness of human life. Nothing was more lamentable than this.

Gu Zuo didn’t say anything, He only let out a small sigh.

Okay. Too many martial artists had died, so perhaps it really was of little value... In this world, his life was also probably the same in some people’s eyes.

So, he just thought about hurrying up and returning.

Returning to that place where human lives, at least, weren’t so cheap.

Tianheng took the golden banknotes from Gu Zuo’s hand and immediately paid that young woman.

The young woman saw this bluntness of his where he hadn’t even haggled over the price. She couldn’t help memorizing this big customer in her heart. Maybe there’d be a big stake of business done in the future.

After quickly handling the formalities, the young woman smiled and said: "Would the customers please confirm the payment with ownership recognition?"

Gongyi Tianheng extended a finger and used a bit of energy to shoot two droplets of blood towards the necklaces on Qian Hu and Liu Bao’s necks. When the blood seeped inside, the necklaces shined with the crackling brilliance of lightning. After that, he could sense that the necklaces were under his control.

So long as those two had any unusual changes, a switch in his thoughts would make the necklaces produce lightning to discipline them.

Gu Zuo quietly asked: "Okay, big brother?"

Tianheng had a smile on his face: "I’ve already finished grasping it."

Gu Zuo silently lamented: That necklace should also be a type of martial tool... It really is magical enough.

After the transaction was paid and received for, Gongyi Tianheng and Gu Zuo followed that young woman out. On the way, some straightforward people wanted to be purchased to leave, but the two didn’t give any sideways glances and paid no heed to them.

Liu Bao and Qian Hu similarly followed them, both with faces that were proud and untamed. Dragon One lagged to the rear with the intention of monitoring them.

While walking, Gu Zuo secretly asked: "Big brother, are the two of them reliable? Are they going to stir up trouble later on?"

Ah, they weren’t cooperative people just by looking at them.

Yet, Tianheng smiled: "Their current purpose is only to test pills. If successful, then naturally they can be gradually won over. If it isn’t, then they’d be useless to me. There’s no need to be concerned over it."

Gu Zuo: "..."

Sometimes, big brother was really unfeeling. However, he also knew that this kind of big brother was the real big brother.
