Divine War Pill Emperor

”What? You’re saying the Jiang Family isn’t going to bid on this Foundation Strengthening Pill?”

Hearing Jiang Chen say the Jiang Family wouldn’t bid, Jiang Han was instantly displeased.

He stared at his son, somewhat annoyed.

He waved his hand dismissively. ”It’s not your call.”

”We’ve already decided. We’re bidding on it even if it bankrupts the family.”

”You have no idea how important that Foundation Strengthening Pill is to the Jiang Family.”

Even Xiao Yun sided with her husband.

She said to Jiang Chen, ”Chen’er, you just don’t understand this.”

”As long as we win this Foundation Strengthening Pill at the auction, your father’s Cultivation will skyrocket after he takes it.”

”From then on, the Jiang Family’s position in Hanwu City will be unshakeable.”

She then launched into a long explanation.

They had to win the Foundation Strengthening Pill. Just as they said, they would risk everything to get it.

At that moment, Jiang Chen could only offer a wry smile.

’I didn’t expect my parents to be so determined to get the Foundation Strengthening Pill.’

Of course, this also proved just how extraordinary his Foundation Strengthening Pill really was.

He let out a soft chuckle.

Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly.

”Dad, Mom, actually... I wasn’t finished speaking.”

The couple paused, stunned. They didn’t understand what their son was up to.

But no matter what, they would not give up on the Foundation Strengthening Pill.

Jiang Han rolled his eyes and waved his hand grandly. ”Say what you want, but the matter of the Foundation Strengthening Pill is of the utmost importance. Nothing you say will change our minds. We’ve all decided.”

Seeing his father’s insistence, Jiang Chen was utterly exasperated.

He started to laugh.

”If you still insist on bidding after you hear what I’m about to say, then I’ll admit defeat.”

Then, under his parents’ watchful gaze...

...Jiang Chen began to speak cheerfully.

”I’m going to tell you a secret.”

”The Foundation Strengthening Pill being auctioned at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion this time... I’m the one who provided it.”

...

After Jiang Chen’s words fell, both Jiang Han and Xiao Yun stood there, dumbfounded.

They felt as if they had misheard him.

It was simply unbelievable.

”GULP...”

Jiang Han swallowed hard.

He asked in shock, ”Chen’er, you’re not lying?”

”That Foundation Strengthening Pill... it’s really yours?”

This was too bizarre. Even though Jiang Han was Jiang Chen’s father, his head was spinning.

’Is this a joke?’ he thought. ’The very Elixir I was determined to get, the one I was ready to risk everything for, was put up for sale by my own son.’

’If I buy it back, wouldn’t I just be spending a fortune to buy something from my own son?’

’What kind of situation is this?’

Of course, that wasn’t the key issue.

The real question was how Jiang Chen could possess a Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill. It was simply inconceivable.

He felt like his brain couldn’t keep up.

This son of his was completely unfathomable.

After a moment of stunned silence, Xiao Yun also looked at Jiang Chen.

Her eyes were filled with utter confusion.

It was no wonder. Right now, all of Hanwu City was in an uproar over the news of the Foundation Strengthening Pill. Every person, every major power, was trying every means possible...

...to win the Pill at the auction.

At this critical juncture, they suddenly learned that the treasure countless people were preparing to fight crazily over had actually come from their son.

The reversal was so great they couldn’t quite accept it.

Facing his parents’ incomprehension, confusion, and various other complex expressions...

...Jiang Chen spread his hands and said calmly, ”That’s right, it’s mine. There’s no need to hide it from you.”

The world seemed to buzz in their ears.

Jiang Han and Xiao Yun still felt as if they’d been struck by lightning.

They both rushed forward, stopping right in front of Jiang Chen.

Their eyes were blazing with intensity.

”Are you sure?”

They still looked unconvinced.

It was too terrifying.

To think this kind of Elixir came from their son.

”Of course I’m sure. It’s mine.”

”I have an invitation. The Treasure Elephant Pavilion gave it to me precisely because I provided this Pill. How else would I get an invitation?”

”Dad, Mom, don’t look at me like that. Why would I lie about this?”

Jiang Han took a deep breath, then looked at his wife, Xiao Yun.

Just as Xiao Yun was also looking at him.

The couple stared at each other, speechless.

They both found it incredible; after all, it was just too hard to believe.

”GULP!”

Jiang Han swallowed hard again.

He grabbed Jiang Chen’s arm.

”Son, where did you get that kind of Elixir?”

”Don’t tell me you refined it yourself. I won’t believe it.”

They now knew Jiang Chen could perform Alchemy, but a Purple Gold Quality Second-grade Foundation Strengthening Pill wasn’t something an ordinary person could refine.

Jiang Han didn’t believe it, and neither did Xiao Yun.

No one would believe Jiang Chen had refined it.

Jiang Chen chuckled inwardly. ’It’s fine if my parents don’t believe it. I never planned on convincing them anyway.’

He smiled and said, ”Of course I didn’t refine it. My master did.”

”I got it from my master.”

His non-existent, mysterious master was finally coming in handy again.

As expected, the ”mysterious master” excuse worked like a charm every time.

Jiang Han and Xiao Yun both sucked in a sharp breath.

A look of sudden understanding dawned on their faces.

”Only your mysterious master could accomplish such a thing.”

They were curious about the master backing Jiang Chen, but he had already told them his master forbade him from speaking about it.

So they didn’t press for more details.

Now that they knew the incredibly popular Foundation Strengthening Pill belonged to Jiang Chen...

...they both felt a sense of helplessness.

However, Jiang Han still looked at Jiang Chen with some frustration.

”If you had given that Elixir to the Jiang Family, we could have cultivated several powerful experts.”

He was essentially accusing Jiang Chen of being an unfilial son for secretly selling off something so valuable.

Xiao Yun couldn’t help but ask, ”Why would you think of selling such a precious Elixir?”

As expected, Jiang Han looked over as well.

Jiang Chen was already prepared for this question.

He explained, ”I was short on cash, so I sold it to get some spending money.”

PFFT!

Jiang Han and his wife nearly coughed up blood and died from their son’s words.

’You’re actually saying you were short on cash?’

It was enough to make one break down.

Jiang Han said, annoyed, ”If you’re short on money, you can just tell me! You’re free to spend the family’s money however you like.”

”How about this: get that Elixir back. Whatever it costs, I’ll give you the money.”

After all, his desire for the Foundation Strengthening Pill was so great that Jiang Han was now trying to buy it directly from his own son.

He even looked angry about it.

Only he knew how much the Jiang Family would change after he obtained the Foundation Strengthening Pill.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen sighed to himself.

’I knew my parents would be like this.’

It was only human nature.

He retorted, ”So, are you still so determined to bid on the Foundation Strengthening Pill now?”

But Jiang Han replied defiantly, ”Not necessarily. If you insist on auctioning it, and if it’s possible to win, I will still make a bid.”

This showed just how highly Jiang Han valued the Foundation Strengthening Pill.

Jiang Chen realized he had underestimated his parents’ desire for the Pill.

Helpless, he had no choice but to say, ”Since I can provide a Foundation Strengthening Pill for auction, don’t you think I can also provide some for my own parents?”

”You two?”
