Chapter 53: Poisoning

"Of course, Master Jin, just ask, I'll take it."

Long Xuan had already prepared for a high price, but this time, even if the price was much higher than the normal price, he was ready to take it without hesitation.

"Don't worry, let's drink first, drink."

Master Jin still had that smiling look, and he was sincere in wanting to whet Long Xuan's appetite. He also took back the thousand-year-old ice marrow that was about to turn into ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow.

After the two talked for so long, Master Jin's disciples finally started to serve the dishes.

Various meat dishes with good color, fragrance and taste were brought up one after another by his disciples, as well as fine wine, which was of course completely rubbish compared to Long Xuan's wine.

Although the food was rich, Long Xuan had already eaten at Qian's Restaurant and was still full, so how could he have any appetite.

He wished he could take the thousand-year-old ice marrow and turn around and leave right now, so he didn't have the mind to eat and drink.

But he couldn't show a very anxious look, otherwise it would give Master Jin the opportunity to ask for a high price.

He could only suppress his eagerness and eat the meal first.

"Haha, come and try this dish. This is the meat of a fourth-grade spirit beast. It is a prey that only the Gu King can hunt. The price is ridiculously high. If it weren't for the fact that I hit it off with you, I wouldn't be willing to eat it."

Master Jin pointed to the hardest meat dish in the middle of the table, and then picked up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth in front of Long Xuan.

Seeing him eat it with his own eyes, Long Xuan also picked up the chopsticks, ready to suppress the discomfort in his stomach and give Master Jin a face.

However, just as he stretched out his chopsticks to the dish, his arm suddenly froze.

It was completely because he had long been frightened by the various methods of Gu in this world that were hard to prevent, so he developed the habit of using the Eye of Heaven to check everything he ate.

So what if Master Jin had tasted it himself? Even in the Qian's Restaurant, which had an absolutely guaranteed reputation, he would use the Eye of Heaven to confirm that there was no problem before he started eating.

He just used the Eye of Heaven to scan subconsciously. This habit has long been a conditioned reflex for him. Even if he does not give an order, the Eye of Heaven will form muscle memory to take a look.

Unexpectedly, he really found the problem after taking a look. There were small insects crawling in the dish. The insects were very small and difficult to see without magnification.

Long Xuan was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. His head felt cold and he was scared.

What on earth does this Master Jin want to do? How can there be insects in the dish?

Is it intentional or unintentional? Could this meal today be a Hongmen Banquet?

Master Jin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, always looks smiling. He always laughs before saying anything. He is kind and generous. It turns out that this guy is a smiling tiger. I am afraid that the dishes today will not be good.

Long Xuan had to be thankful that he had the Eye of Heaven, otherwise he would have been in trouble today. This Master Jin was so kind. Who would have thought that there was another face hidden under his smiling face? Even he was fooled by this kind face.

Although Long Xuan was already in a state of shock and horror, he remained calm and changed the direction of his chopsticks to pick up the vegetarian dishes on the side.

He was just about to say that he wanted to eat some vegetarian food, but before he put down his chopsticks, his arm stopped in mid-air again.

This vegetarian dish actually had worms, and the amount was increased.

Long Xuan looked at the rest of the dishes again, including the wine. Wow, all of them had worms.

Master Jin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was really mean. It turned out that he had prepared a feast for himself with all worms. Did he throw all his worms into the dishes?

Long Xuan awkwardly stopped his chopsticks in mid-air and did not dare to touch any dish.

Master Jin was too ruthless. He didn't leave him a way out. What could he do? He could only put away his chopsticks awkwardly and laughed dryly: "I'm sorry, I have to pee urgently. I'm going to go outside first."

"I'll be back later. When I come back, I'll have a long talk with Master Jin and get drunk."

Long Xuan got up and walked out of the cave, ready to pee and get away.

However, how could things end so easily? Before Long Xuan took a few steps, the formation under his feet had already started. A circular transparent barrier rose up, firmly enclosing the hall. He almost bumped into the barrier.

Long Xuan's face changed slightly. He looked back at Master Jin and pretended to be puzzled and said: "Master Jin, what does this mean?"

Master Jin still had a smiling face, but at this time he had already walked out of the barrier with the formation in his hand, leaving only Long Xuan in the barrier.

At this time, Master Jin finally stopped pretending and said with a smile: "Although I don't know how you can tell that there is a Gu in the food and wine, I'm afraid you are overthinking it if you want to leave so easily."

"This is my home ground, and the formations are controlled by me everywhere. Even if you are not poisoned, you will die today."

Long Xuan had already discovered that his Eye of Heaven had the ability to break the formation, so he was not worried about being trapped in the formation. Instead, he asked calmly: "I don't know when I have offended Master Jin, please tell me!"

Master Jin smiled and said: "Haha! Why offend someone in the Gu world? How many people would offend others for no reason? Being weak and holding wealth is the original sin."

"The thousand-year-old ice marrow is a priceless treasure. It costs hundreds of millions of spiritual stones. You keep collecting this kind of thing. Isn't it telling others that you have a net worth of hundreds of millions? You don't really think that I, a weapon refiner, can't even recognize the materials for refining weapons! Do I need you to identify the true and false?"

"So that's the reason! No wonder." Long Xuan nodded. This reason is really unsolvable. He must collect the thousand-year-old ice marrow. Can he not collect it for fear of disaster? Can he not refine the ice divine flame?

He did nothing wrong, but there are some things you are destined to be unable to avoid.

"Master! Now he is trapped in the formation, let's release poison gas to kill him! Last time we killed the casual cultivator named Feng, we used poison gas to take him down without bloodshed."

The speaker was the young man who had just received Long Xuan at the door. At this time, he no longer looked respectful.

From what he said, it was obvious that Master Jin was a repeat offender. This was not the first time he had done such a thing. I don't know how many casual cultivators had been deceived by him into his cave and then killed by him.

No wonder he always gave out communication talismans to the wealthy during the Yibao Conference, under the pretext of facilitating private transactions. It turned out to be this reason. No wonder Long Xuan understood.

"No need. He has Xiaoqiang Gu, which is incredible. Most methods cannot kill him at all. Poisoning him will definitely not do anything to him."

"I will release the Gu insects to eat him. I don't believe that he can survive even if he turns into a pile of minced meat and Xiaoqiang Gu."

Master Jin sneered, opened the insect breeding bag, and put three fierce-looking Gu insects into the formation.
