"Thank you so much, Master! Thank you so much, Master. I will always remember your great kindness..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Gu Changhuan.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Whether you can survive or not depends on your own destiny."
Gu Changhuan shot it out of thin air, and the bottle of Qi-nourishing Pill was in his hands.
He poured out half of the elixir and said to the two middle-aged women.
"Can you please take her outside and tie her up, and then feed her this. Remember, feed her one pill at a time. If she is still alive after eating these pills, I won't care about her stealing them.
It’s about medicine.”
After saying that, he sneered and said to Gu Cai'er
"I've given you the opportunity. It's up to you whether you can survive."
Gu Changze knew that the way to survive that Gu Changhuan gave Gu Cai'er would not work unless a miracle happened.
If you are a master of the innate realm who has practiced martial arts, you will be injured if you take a few Qi-nourishing pills, not to mention that Gu Cai'er is just an ordinary mortal.
But Gu Cai'er doesn't know how powerful these elixirs are. She only knows that these elixirs are treasures. Maybe she can become an immortal as a blessing in disguise after taking these elixirs!
She was brought out of the courtyard obediently, and when she saw the helpers standing outside the courtyard at a loss, she lowered her head with guilt.
"Gu Cai'er stole the immortal's things and violated the clan rules. Young Master Chang Huan is kind and gives a lighter punishment. If Gu Cai'er can eat these pills and still survive, please spare her life!
I also ask everyone to be witnesses, as long as Gu Caier can survive after eating these, Master Chang Huan will not punish her!"
Two middle-aged women tied Gu Cai'er to a tree with their hands and feet.
After swallowing the first pill, Gu Cai'er let out a cry of pain. Her whole body turned red and her temples bulged.
In the courtyard, Gu Changhuan took a sip of tea.
Gu Changze sighed, "There is no way for misfortunes and blessings, we can only bring them to ourselves!"
Chief Gu's face was expressionless, "There are no rules, and there is no rule. What's more, the rules are there. I gave her a chance before, but she didn't grasp it."
"What the seventeenth brother said is reasonable. If we are not punished today, all the handymen will follow suit in the future, and this Bifeng Mountain will be in chaos. We can't let the clan members go out to fight desperately and then go home and start killing people."
After the second pill fell into her stomach, Gu Cai'er's seven orifices were bleeding. It was as if there was a wild beast hiding under her skin, and it was about to break out at any time.
She howled in pain, clenched her hands into fists and struggled hard with her upper body, but being tied up with hemp ropes as thick as a baby's arms, her efforts were in vain.
After a few breaths, he saw that she was still alive. A middle-aged woman trembled and fed her another pill. The other servants looked at Gu Cai'er with horror on their faces. They saw her face was bleeding from all her orifices, and her skin was bulging from time to time.
Each bag seemed to be about to explode at any moment.
After the third meal, Gu Cai'er seemed to hear something breaking in her stomach. Her eyes were filled with blood, and her ears were filled with buzzing sounds.
Suddenly she vomited and spit out something.
Like internal organs.
After a few more breaths, Gu Cai'er suddenly let out a whine, then loosened her fist and completely lost her breath.
The middle-aged woman replied with a pale face.
"Two young masters, Gu Cai'er couldn't hold on and is already dead. This is the remaining elixir."
"I would also like to trouble you to deal with the scene. Also, those who came to help today will receive three months more remuneration." Gu Changhuan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master Changhuan!" The middle-aged woman exited the courtyard tremblingly. She walked outside the courtyard and described what Gu Changhuan had said.
The servants' expressions were not very good, and those who could not bear it even ran to the corner and vomited. They were not here to help, they were clearly here to watch the execution!
Gu Changze smiled, "What is this? Compensation for mental damage?"
"That's right."
Gu Changze walked out of the courtyard, and there seemed to be a faint smell of blood still lingering in the air. Gu Cai'er made a wrong move and got himself killed. This is true for mortals, and it is also true for immortal cultivators.
If you are unlucky and die outside in the future, maybe no one will even collect the body.
Every year, several members of the Gu family lose several immortal cultivators due to various reasons. If they are lucky, their bodies will be found and taken back to Bifeng Mountain for burial. If they are unlucky, they will have to wait until the soul lamp is extinguished.
After confirming the death, just set up a cenotaph in the family cemetery.
The immortal cultivators of the Gu family discovered that the mortal servants on Bifeng Mountain have been looking poorly recently, wondering if they are sick or something.
But there is spiritual energy on Bifeng Mountain, so even if a mortal is weak, he shouldn’t get sick easily! It’s the same time!
There were curious inquiries, but the servants were hesitant and refused to say anything.
The handymen refused to say anything, but they did not delay their work, and even did their work more carefully, so the Gu family's immortal cultivators didn't care too much.
How Gu Changhuan punished Gu Cai'er and the whole story of the practice have long been spread among the handymen. Many of the handymen respected and feared Gu Changhuan's methods.
They also understood that this was Gu Changhuan's warning to them: There is no benefit in stealing the property of immortal cultivators, it will only lead to death! Moreover, if the things used by immortal cultivators are used by mortals, they will die!
After Gu Changhuan's beating and the bloody example of Gu Cai'er before their eyes, the budding thoughts of several people were snuffed out.
Let's just work honestly on Bifeng Mountain! Wouldn't it be nice to work for a few years and go home and become a rich man? Why risk your life for something you can't use?
Naturally, this matter cannot escape the discernment of Gu Wanchang, the head of the Gu family.
Gu Wanchang received the news when Gu Changze brought a bunch of mortals to find Gu Changhuan.
After understanding the whole story, he was very satisfied with Gu Changhuan's handling method.
The person who committed the crime was dealt with without leaving any words. Inviting everyone to watch the execution was a sign of humiliation and let them know the consequences of daring to violate the clan rules. Afterwards, they were given a few more months of salary. This was a favor to let them know how to be honest.
There are benefits to be gained by doing your own thing.
A combination of kindness and power can last long.
It seems that although this kid Chang Huan has been busy practicing in Fangshi, he still has his own way of dealing with people.
In the future, they don't have to worry too much about the trouble caused by this child's mishandling.
What Gu Wanchang knows, he will naturally tell Gu Wanhao.
Gu Wanhao was refining alchemy recently, and he was indeed relieved after hearing about this.
but……
He remembered the communication talisman that Gu Xuanzhan had given him the night he returned to Bifeng Mountain, and his expression became serious again.
Still have to give it another try!
Before Gu Shiwen's foundation building celebration, Gu Changhuan's cultivation had returned to the late stage of Qi training.
After that, Gu Changhuan gritted his teeth and used the Spirit Tempering Plate again. This time, his cultivation level only dropped a lot from the seventh level of Qi training, and he did not fall below the realm.
Gu Changhuan was still not satisfied with the result. He thought that one day he could sit on the soul quenching plate and his spiritual power would not be reduced at all. That would be considered a success.
Gu Shiwen's foundation building celebration was successfully held, and the other three families in the Jiuqi Mountain Range also came to congratulate him.
