Chapter 149 True Chapter Pill
After guessing Gulis's behavior, Mu Qingli poisoned him.
This poison is colorless and odorless, and most importantly, it can prevent people from borrowing their lifespans and can even backfire.
Now Gulis is suffering the backlash.
There is no herb that can be used to refine this kind of poison on the mainland now. Mu Qingli used the herbs in the space to refine it.
I originally just wanted to try it out, but unexpectedly it became useful.
Seeing that everyone ignored him, Gulis silently turned his head towards Mu Qingli.
Although he didn't know why, he always felt that Mu Qingli was the one who decided whether he could leave.
"Miss, I really know I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please let me go."
Gulis was curled up on the ground, looking like a beggar outside the city gate, but he cried much more miserably than the beggar.
Mu Qingli looked at him coldly, as if he were looking at a pile of garbage, and said nonchalantly: "I have something I want to ask you. If you answer well, maybe I will let you go."
When Gulis heard that he had a chance to leave, his face was full of hope. He looked up at Mu Qingli and said, "Go ahead! I will tell you everything I know. If I lie even a single word, I will die!"
Hearing the words "you won't die a good death", Mu Qingli showed a playful smile on his face.
Isn't this old guy afraid of death? He even dares to curse himself to die a bad death. It's really interesting.
Mu Qingli simply played along: "Then you can introduce yourself first. If I'm happy listening to you, maybe there won't be any more questions."
Gulis smiled, revealing his yellow teeth, looking somewhat wretched. "My name is Gulis, and I'm 148 years old."
Seeing that he only said these two sentences, Mu Qingli couldn't help but shook his head: "Your introduction, tsk tsk, isn't comprehensive enough. I want to know not only your name and age, but also your cultivation level, family situation, and social connections."
Guris was stunned when he heard this. Why didn't he understand something?
However, Mu Qingli didn't embarrass him. After all, Xiao Lingyi had already investigated these matters. She immediately changed the subject: "I heard that you need the spirit beast heart to save Xiao Cui's brother? What role does the spirit beast heart play? Why hasn't Xiao Cui's brother woken up yet?"
Gulis thought this question was as simple as before, and he immediately retracted his bared teeth, even a little panicked.
But after all, he had lived for over 100 years and was an old fox. He quickly hid his panic and came up with a standard answer:
"Brother Xiao Cui was seriously injured. I have already given him the Spirit Beast Heart. As for why he hasn't woken up yet, I don't know."
Gulis was not sure whether there was an alchemist among the three people who had just arrived, so he did not dare to tell his purpose, but he did not dare to make it up out of thin air.
When Mu Qingli heard this answer, he frowned slightly and looked very dissatisfied.
Gulis saw her expression and his heart immediately jumped. He didn't know if the girl in front of him believed what he said. If she didn't believe him, how would he continue to explain himself...
But at this moment, Mu Qingli suddenly laughed. She turned her head and glanced at Gu Lisi: "Are you sure it's true? I'll only give you one chance. If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being rude."
For a moment, Gulis even felt that Mu Qingli saw through him, but he quickly shook his head in his heart. It was impossible. He obtained those things by accident, and no one else should know about them.
He was just a little panicked, but soon calmed down, thinking that Mu Qingli was just being mysterious.
"I'm telling the truth. Can the heart of a spirit beast be used for anything other than medicine? If you don't believe me, you can ask other alchemists."
Gulis still answered firmly. He felt that his answer was flawless and the other party would definitely not be able to find any evidence against him.
Having said this, Mu Qingli could no longer pretend, so she spoke directly, "As far as I know, the Spirit Beast Heart has a special use. I believe that Master Gu Dan has used this method several times. After all, Master Gu Dan is not young anymore."
When Gulis heard the word "age", his mind went blank and an idea instantly hit his brain: the borrowing of life has been discovered!
Mu Qingli knew she was right when she saw his expression. She chuckled, walked around half a circle, and walked to Gulis's left: "Master Gu Dan, tell me, am I right?"
Cold sweat broke out on Gulis's head. He was very timid. The reason he took the risk to do this was that he thought no one would find out. Besides, he felt that he had not done anything immoral. Wasn't it just borrowing ten years of life?
Did I let those people die? I just borrowed a little bit of their lifespan. Is it necessary to be so careful?
But now, looking at Mu Qingli's smiling face, he didn't dare to admit it at all. He felt that if he admitted it, he would surely be dead.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Mu Qingli knew that this would be his reaction. As the saying goes, one won't cry until he sees the coffin. Although he doesn't cooperate, he can only use special methods to force a confession.
It just so happens that I have just developed the truth pill, so I can try out its effects on him.
"Xiao Cui, we have something we need to discuss with Gulis. Can you go stay with your brother first? Give your brother this pill and he will wake up soon."
Mu Qingli didn't want to tell the story in front of Xiao Cui and wanted to get her away.
Xiao Cui now trusts Mu Qingli very much. Knowing that she will not harm her, she immediately takes the pills and goes to find her brother.
Mu Qingli asked Xiao Lingyi to continue carrying Gulis, and under Xiao Lingyi's leadership, they came to a remote cave.
"Then let's talk about it here."
Mu Qingli took out the truth pill and stuffed it into Gulis's mouth without saying a word.
The moment it entered his mouth, the truth pill dissolved immediately, and Gulis couldn't spit it out even if he wanted to:
"What did you feed me?"
"Don't worry, it's not poison. You can't die now."
Hearing that it was not poison, Gulis felt a little relieved. He was more afraid of death than anyone else. If he died here today, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
He has done so much to stay alive, so he must stick to it no matter what and absolutely not acknowledge the matter of the spirit beast's heart.
Once he admitted this matter, he would definitely be retaliated against. Although he had borrowed his life before, he did not put the person to death, thinking that he would borrow his life again when he had the chance next time.
But he just didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, but Mu Qingli asked about it again.
"Tell me, how did you know that you can use the heart of a spirit beast to borrow life?"
