And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 42

However, after searching the fourth floor, Fan Baohua did not see anything. his tone was a little reproachful. “Manager Li, you are too careless. You don’t even know the basic information of such a distinguished guest.”

It turned out that Li Buxiang had come to the capital because he had rendered meritorious service to the field of medicinal pills. Fan Baohua had wanted to get to know the person who sold this Flawless pill.

Who would have thought that Gu Xi was too mysterious? He had always been the one who had contacted Li Buxiang unilaterally and went to the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce. As a result, Li Buxiang and the others did not know anything about Gu Xi at all.

He had originally wanted to send someone to follow and investigate, but he was afraid of angering the mysterious force behind Gu Xi and would no longer cooperate with them. Thus, the current situation was created. Other than knowing Gu Xi’s name, he also did not know anything else about him.

Li Buxiang was troubled. “I once asked, but that Young Master Gu was very vague. He only said that his sect was relatively low-key. Seeing that he did not want to talk about it, I did not ask further.”

Some hermit sects or masters were like this. Fan Baohua and the others had no choice but to look for him like a needle in a haystack.

Fan Baohua could not help but sigh. “Are you sure that there is no Young Master Gu on this floor?”

Li Buxiang looked over one by one, afraid that he would make a mistake. He shook his head and said, “No.”

“That’s strange. According to your description, Young Master Gu must have an extraordinary background. The sect behind him is definitely a super large sect. All the powerful sects from all over the world have been arranged to be here. He must be here, right?”

After all, to be able to refine a Flawless pill was something that even the Alchemy Emperor could not do. One could imagine how deep the foundation behind it was. Unexpectedly, they could not find him. Fan Baohua could not figure it out.

“Perhaps his sect is obsessed with researching pills, so their overall strength is not high.”

It was not impossible.

“Then let’s go to the third floor to look for him.”

However, no one could find Gu Xi on the third floor, which was out of everyone’s expectations.

Everyone looked at each other, confused. Gu Xi’s low-key sect was really low-key.

“It can’t be on the second floor, right?”

Those people on the second floor were all mid-level and low-level forces. Although they were somewhat famous, they were not on the same level as those on the third and fourth floors.

There was still no one on the second floor.

The people from the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce had almost no hope. “Perhaps he didn’t come at all?”

As soon as the words left their mouths, they were refuted by Li Buxiang, “How is this possible? Even if he had a major event, he would have rushed to the venue to auction such a top-grade medicinal pill. Moreover, the capital Dao Conference is about to be held, so he would have come regardless.”

“At this point, only the first floor hasn’t been searched…”

The hall on the first floor was filled with all sorts of mixed forces. There were also other places in the capital where those small sects could not be called by their names. Their overall strength was extremely mediocre.

The people of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce had the idea of making desperate efforts, but Li Buxiang’s gaze did not stop. He became incomparably excited.

At this moment, Gu Xi did not know that these people were going crazy looking for him, and the disciples who had asked for trouble earlier had already set the fire of war on him.

The disciples of the Supreme Purity Sect were angered by their provocative words, and just when the atmosphere became a bit tense.

A call came from the crowd, “Young Master Gu.”

Everyone followed their line of sight and saw that the people who came were all the higher-ups of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce.

“What’s going on? These people are all the great managers of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, right?”

“I think so. I heard that they are responsible for receiving the Sect Masters of the sects on the third and fourth floors. What are they doing in the hall on the first floor?”

“Could it be that some important people are coming?”

“The leader seems to be the manager of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, Fan Baohua. He usually doesn’t come out to receive guests, unless the guest has a special status. It’s rare to see him here today.”

The crowd discussed animatedly. Almost half of the upper management of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce had gathered here. Those who did not know would think that something important had happened.

The people of the Supreme Purity Sect did not know what had happened. Gu Xi already had a guess in his heart when he saw Li Buxiang’s excited face.

The few people who had provoked him earlier were also very surprised. They thought that it was because of the Upper Qian Sect, but thinking about it, it was not possible. No matter how great the reputation of the Upper Qian Sect was, these people would not come out just for them. They were just small fries.

“Young Master Gu, we have finally found you!”

The voice was not loud, but it attracted everyone’s attention. After all, who here did not know Fan Baohua and the other noble figures?

The originally noisy hall instantly became extremely quiet because of their arrival.

The people of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce were ecstatic. They did not expect Gu Xi to really be on the first floor.

When Li Buxiang opened his mouth, everyone was stunned. Fan Baohua reacted the fastest and quickly said, “So this is Young Master Gu. I’ve heard so much about you. Please come upstairs!”

After he said that, he respectfully made a gesture of inviting.

The onlookers were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

Who was Fan Baohua? As the manager of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, even if he was not the boss behind the scenes, he was still the second-in-command. He was in charge of all operations in the Chamber of Commerce. To put it in a big way, he was even comparable to the Sect Master of a big sect.

Now, he was showing such a respectful expression to a person in the hall on the first floor.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Gu Xi. They all wanted to see who he was.

The people of Supreme Purity Sect were also stunned. The people who had the most interesting expressions were those who had provoked him earlier. At first, they were in disbelief, then their faces were filled with fear. It was as if there were colliding emotions in their hearts. They were extremely afraid.

They never took such a small sect seriously, and now, Fan Baohua himself was treating them with such respect.
