Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 155 - 109 Blood Refining Great Success! Open Strife

The Blade Operator’s Courtyard.

Gu Sheng walked slowly through the gate, instantly drawing everyone’s attention. He moved quickly, had taken Poison Bee Guest’s head, and rushed directly to Canghe County’s city. At this point, no one knew he had casually slaughtered the Gale Wind Trio along the way.

Still, the bloodstained head in his hand carried a formidable aura.

So people were aware that Gu Sheng had accepted the mission to eliminate Poison Bee Guest. Now that he returned with the head, it naturally ant—

Gu Sheng had completed the task.

This was no ordinary feat; it was snatching at from the tiger’s jaws among a group of formidable Blade Operators.

Gu Sheng paid no attention to the crowd and casually tossed the head forward. A minor official hurriedly picked it up, carefully comparing it with Lian Xubai’s portrait.

"It’s... it’s Poison Bee Guest Lian Xubai!"

"Congratulations, Lord Butcher, for eliminating the scum and completing the mission!"

Amid the wave of congratulations erupting around him, Gu Sheng’s expression remained cold. He knew there was scheming behind this mission, and he naturally wouldn’t show gratitude or a friendly face. If anything were out of place, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Blade Operator known as ’Butcher’ disappeared from Canghe County entirely after this.

He had no intention of drawing too much attention or becoming soone else’s pawn or bargaining chip.

"The reward," Gu Sheng said, his voice betraying no emotion.

"Y-yes, sir, just a mont," the minor official stamred as he rushed to the back courtyard.

Not long after, he returned in a fluster, carrying a silver note and a blue-and-white book, which was evidently freshly transcribed.

"Sir, this is the reward for the mission."

Gu Sheng accepted it, pocketing the silver note casually, and then opened the Golden Body Skill manual.

His brows furrowed slightly.

The Golden Body Skill manual only contained cultivation techniques, without any insights or cultivation experiences.

He distinctly rembered that Lu Luo had ntioned during the auction that the Golden Body Skill ca with cultivation experiences and insights up to the Great Achievent Realm.

"Sir, is there sothing wrong?" The minor official, seeing Gu Sheng’s frown, trembled nervously.

Gu Sheng shook his head slowly, rely casting a deep glance toward the back courtyard before striding away.

Well, no insights are no insights. It’s understandable. If the manual had included cultivation insights, its value would have been more than double. Poison Bee Guest didn’t warrant that investnt.

Back courtyard.

Watching Gu Sheng leave without a word, Zhang Guangqun let out a scoffing laugh.

"This Butcher is as unruly as expected. It seems he has indeed sensed sothing. Still, I didn’t anticipate that his strength was this capable. A newcor climbing past others to complete the mission first—he must be soone rough on the surface but ticulous beneath."

A subordinate beside him imdiately chid in with flattery:

"No matter how unruly he is, he still has to beg for scraps under your authority, Lord."

Zhang Guangqun curled his lips into a faint smile.

"I’m not worried about him being unruly. I’m worried he would lack capability. A person like that, if properly grood, will surely beco a powerful asset under the Magistrate soday!"

At that mont.

A figure in black robes swiftly entered the courtyard and whispered sothing into Zhang Guangqun’s ear.

Zhang Guangqun’s expression shifted, his eyes flickering with sharp light.

"Are you sure?!"

"Absolutely sure!"

Zhang Guangqun burst into laughter.

"Excellent! The death of the Gale Wind Trio has given us the perfect asure of this Butcher’s true strength—it’s worth it! Based on the description, this Butcher should possess Blood Refining Realm Great Success level strength, and he’s cautious and prudent."

He had access to records of every mission taken.

The Butcher never accepted targets above Blood Refining Realm entry-level strength, which spoke volus about his personality—it was clear he was a man with a rugged exterior and a ticulous mind.

"The reason he acted this ti is likely because the reward for Lian Xubai was lucrative. A pity that the intelligence ca in a little late, or else I could have arranged a eting with him."

Hearing Zhang Guangqun’s regretful sigh, his subordinate laughed imdiately:

"No need to worry, Lord. As long as the Butcher remains in Canghe County, he’ll eventually co to take on more missions. No matter how strong he becos, he’ll ultimately serve as your pawn!"

Zhang Guangqun laughed heartily but corrected him:

"No, no, no. We’re all pawns of the Magistrate."

With hands clasped behind his back, Zhang Guangqun softly uttered the na "Butcher," contemplating how he might pull this man into his fold.

...

As ti passed.

The news of the Butcher’s rage-filled killing of the Gale Wind Trio at Tianze Village gradually spread.

In an instant, the Butcher’s fierce reputation soared even higher, overshadowing other Blade Operators by a significant margin, leaving few who could dare to compare themselves. Even Swift Blade Zhou Song dared not utter the Butcher’s na anymore.

Regarding this.

Gu Sheng naturally remained oblivious. He had already made up his mind to let the Butcher persona lie low for a while.

The spoils from this endeavor were considerable.

Poison Bee Guest and the Gale Wind Trio—four Blood Refining Realm experts. Though Gu Sheng had not yet thoroughly inventoried everything, he roughly estimated that the loot from these individuals would be enough to cultivate himself to Blood Refining Realm Great Success, and perhaps even satisfy a large portion of the resources needed to reach Blood Refining Realm Perfect.

Exiting the city, Gu Sheng deliberately took a few detours to prevent any trackers. However, with the Perfect Realm Snake Breath Skill, tracking him was essentially impossible.

Returning to Gu’s Manor.

After ticulously cleaning away the bloodstains on his body, Gu Sheng reverted to his original appearance—clean and handso.

No one would ever connect the refined young man before them to the infamous Blade Operator ’Butcher.’

This was intentional on Gu Sheng’s part. The Butcher’s combat style was famously brutal and savage, bearing no resemblance to Gu Sheng at all.

Gu Sheng began assessing his gains this ti.

First was silver coin.

The silver notes collected from the four individuals, combined with the two hundred taels from the reward, amounted to a total of seven to eight hundred taels!

Beyond that.

Poison Bee Guest’s "Guidelines for Raising Poisonous Bees" was also an invaluable treasure.

Gu Sheng gently opened it and examined it piece by piece.

After a long while, he lifted his gaze, his eyes revealing an expression of awe.
