I'm the one running the game

The Gu Wang Sect's head, Duanmu Yun, received Lv Xingshi very warmly, and welcomed Lv Xingshi's proposal to spend money to buy the materials for the Gu recipe.

I don't know what Delishan said to the head, but Lv Xingshi felt that the Gu Wang Sect was very warm and hospitable.

"Head Duanmu, I have a question, why is your name a Central Plains name?" Lv Xingshi asked curiously. The names of other people in the Gu Wang Sect all have Western style, but the head has a proper Central Plains name.

"My master is from the Central Plains, and I was adopted by him, so I took this name." Duanmu Yun explained.

In the Gu Wang Sect, there are naturally not only people from the Western Regions, but also a small number of people from the Central Plains.

It's just that the number is relatively small, and most of them are adopted by orphans.

In fact, the Gu Wang Sect is not very popular in the Western Regions, mainly because of their Gu worms.

Not only are they cruel to the enemy, but they even parasitize in their own bodies when practicing.

Not everyone can accept putting worms in their bodies.

Not to mention the names of these Gu worms, which are not very pleasant to hear.

If the people in the Central Plains knew about the Gu Wang Sect, they would only think that they were evil people, judging people by their appearance.

In fact, the Gu Wang Sect did not do too many evil things. Instead, it was a major producer of certain medicinal materials, breeding various insects as medicinal materials.

Even when they went to ask Lu Xingshi, they were very kind, not directly poisoning or controlling with Gu worms as the stereotype.

"I see." Lu Xingshi nodded, and then took out a modified human bear gall and said: "This thing is called..."

After he introduced the effect of human bear gall to directly increase the root bone by 15 points, Duanmu Yun's face also moved.

"This thing is really precious. Is Lu Shaoxia going to use this thing to offset the material of the Gu recipe?" Duanmu Yun asked hurriedly.

Compared with silver, this thing is naturally more precious.

It's not that the Gu Wang Sect can't make money, but this kind of natural treasure will never come across once in a lifetime.

At this time, he also vaguely realized that Lu Xingshi was so strong, perhaps because he had an excellent foundation.

"No, I plan to use this to exchange for a visit to your sect's library. I wonder if Master Duanmu can be flexible." How could Lu Xingshi use this thing to exchange for money? Of course, he would exchange it for knowledge.

Although the sales of Langya paper have dropped significantly due to the chaotic situation, Lu Xingshi is really not short of money.

"This..." Duanmu Yun hesitated when he heard this. The library is not for anyone to enter.

Giving the materials for the Gu recipe, this doesn't matter. They have no shortage of materials for the Gu recipe that can be used. The number of materials that can't be used due to poor skills may be small, but they can't be used.

Failure to refine the Gu worm will only result in nothing, so it is better to sell it for profit.

As for the success? To put it bluntly, the entire Gu King Sect, including the master, is not even 10% sure.

Moreover, even if it is sold, it can be obtained again in the future. He is not optimistic that Lu Xingshi can practice it, so it is equivalent to clearing the inventory.

No one was buying it in the first place, and now someone is offering a high price, wouldn't it be stupid not to sell it?

However, looking at their books, this might be a bit unfair to the ancestors of the Gu Wang Sect.

As long as it is a sect, most of them have the habit of cherishing what they have, and they have to keep some for themselves, not to mention for the outside world.

"You can try the goods first. If it is really as magical as I said, it won't be too late to open it to me later." Lu Xingshi said.

As for not giving it to me after using it? Don't blame Lu Xingshi for being cruel.

You can refuse this transaction, and Lu Xingshi will naturally turn around and leave, but if you take the things and still play tricks on him, Lu Xingshi will definitely not tolerate it.

"Can you give an explanation to Young Master Lu tomorrow? I need to discuss it with the elders of the sect."

"It will take some time for the Gu recipe materials that Young Master Lu needs to be counted and sent over. Why not travel around the scenery of the Western Region today." Duanmu Yun certainly didn't decide immediately.

Such a big thing, he naturally can't solve it alone.

It is true that he is the head of Gu Wang Sect, but Gu Wang Sect is not his sect alone, and its internal structure is also complicated.

Where there are people, there is the world, and where there is the world, there is struggle. Moreover, Gu Wang Sect is in the world, so factional struggle is inevitable.

There must be such a thing as conflict of interest.

"Of course there is no problem. As long as I leave Gu Wang Sect, this transaction is valid." When Lu Xingshi heard this, he knew there was a play.

Duanmu Yun can go out to discuss, which means that he is more inclined to open the library to Lu Xingshi in exchange.

Otherwise, he would have refused long ago, but he could not solve it because of his own reasons.

Especially when Lu Xingshi talked about the model of using first and paying later, he could also avoid Lu Xingshi's nonsense.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, I will give you an explanation tomorrow." Duanmu Yun must not really delay time as Lu Xingshi said. If it can be done tomorrow, there will be no problem. If it can't be done, there will be no chance in the future.

After that, Duanmu Yun sent Lu Xingshi out, arranged accommodation and food for him, and asked Lu Xingshi to take a look around.

Lu Xingshi didn't care, because his goal had been achieved.

The disciple who took Lu Xingshi around was named Doha, a sturdy young man.

From him, Lu Xingshi also learned some things about the Western Regions.

For example, the second prince who was named the King of Qin, was stationed in the Western Regions and had been implementing benevolent policies, and was also preparing for war.

It seemed that he had long been planning to rebel?

Come to think of it, after the crown prince ascended the throne, he would be replaced by his nephew, and then return to Kyoto to become a fattened pig, and he would also be suppressed by the literary party, and during this period, he would have the implicit support of his father. Anyone would have this idea.

The second prince must be a military general in terms of his background, so he couldn't get involved with the literary party.

It's just that the situation is changing, and now the second prince is caught off guard.

"So the edict of succession is actually true?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously.

How could he know whether it was true or false? There were a lot of rumors, and Tingfeng Pavilion couldn't find out everything, so the fact that the old emperor abdicated and gave the throne to the second prince was actually hard to tell.

"It's true." Doha nodded: "The Palace Master of Huangjue Palace came from the Central Plains and personally escorted the imperial edict from Kyoto. It can't be fake."

"If it was sent by the Palace Master of Huangjue Palace, then the authenticity is indeed unquestionable."

"In other words, the one in Kyoto is fake..." Lu Xingshi was a little shocked.

This group of people was real and fake, and he really couldn't tell them apart.

However, he could also see that between the court and the King of Qin, the Gu Wang Sect was more inclined to the King of Qin.

After all, it was the King of Qin who gave them various policy benefits, and the court was really unfamiliar with them. Even though the King of Qin represented the court, the vassal of my vassal is not my vassal, which is vividly demonstrated here.

"That's right, Princess Pingyang is the usurper." Doha said calmly.

As for Princess Pingyang, let alone in the Western Regions, few people in the Central Plains knew her.

In her early years, she did venture into the rivers and lakes, but she was just an unknown person.

If it weren't for the princess's origin, who would care about this person.

Lü Xingshi didn't know even more. The old emperor had many children, and no one would care about such an eccentric princess.

And because of her eccentricity, the royal family kept her under wraps to avoid ruining the royal family's reputation.

Before Princess Pingyang and her husband turned the tide in Kyoto, no one knew about it. However, it was precisely because of the heavy damage to the Liao Kingdom's 3,000 light cavalry, the defeat of Ahachu, and the preservation of Kyoto that they became famous all over the world.

This behavior gave people the illusion that Dasong was going to come back to life.

Unfortunately, the illusion was just an illusion.

Jiangnan was in chaos, and the King of Qin in the Western Regions was eyeing it covetously. Although the King of Liao in the northern part of the border was defeated, he not only did not hurt the foundation but also obtained the old emperor and the crown prince. Tongzhou began to expand like a wolf and a tiger, and various places also had various thoughts because of the decline of imperial power.

Lü Xingshi also saw the most fatal point, which was land annexation.

This led to the rise of powerful families and the existence of many sects.

Unless the Pingyang Prince Consort is a powerful man sent from heaven and solves this problem by himself, it is possible to ease the conflict and let Dasong live again.

"I heard that Young Master Lu is the King of Yan? I wonder why he is willing to risk his life?" Doha asked with some doubts.

In his eyes, Lu Xingshi is a king. Not only does he not have a pomp, but he also has no guards. He has heard some rumors, but now it seems a bit untrue.

Lu Xingshi looks more like a scholar, and he looks like he is powerless.

"Look at what you said, there are still many good people in this world, and what is dangerous or not." Lu Xingshi also responded, which means that if all those who dared to attack him were beaten to death, then the rest of the people would be good people.

Doha just felt that Lu Xingshi had no experience in the martial arts world. The martial arts world is dangerous, and there are not so many good people.

But he did not refute it out loud, knowing what to say and what not to say.

Lu Xingshi is a distinguished guest of their Gu Wang Sect. He offended the distinguished guest because his mind was confused.

He had heard that this time they were doing a big business, and after the deal was done, their Gu Wang Sect would have no worries about food and clothing for the next ten years.

He couldn't keep up with such a rich man.

"By the way, what are the big sects in the Western Regions? What is the inheritance?" Lu Xingshi asked about it, thinking that since he was here, he might as well go and visit them.

"There are quite a few, and my Gu Wang Sect is only average in the Western Regions." Doha didn't brag about how strong his Gu Wang Sect was, but told the truth, and then introduced it to Lu Xingshi: "If we talk about the big sects in the Western Regions, it should be the Vajra Sect..."

"The second is the Golden Flower Sect, although it is not as good as the Vajra Sect..."

"And then there is the Gold..." Doha talked endlessly.

Lu Xingshi couldn't help interrupting: "Why do they all start with the word Jin?"

"Isn't it good? This means the word Jin in gold. Gold is precious, so it's normal to change it to the word Jin."

"If my Gu Wang Sect becomes prosperous, it will be changed to the Golden Gu Sect in the future." Doha said seriously.

After hearing the explanation, Lu Xingshi didn't know whether to say it was better to be honest or practical.
