Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 597: Chapter 594: Passing the Blame (30 more!)

Items that can be considered the grand finale of an auction are invariably extremely precious, a common occurrence in previous auctions.

And for this auction before the grand competition of the Sect, the grand finale item was bound to be much better than those at regular auctions.

”The first item!”

Yun Qianqian removed the red cloth, revealing a piece of paper.

It looked like parchment, somewhat illusory, with no vibrant colors, nor was it extravagantly splendid. But as the grand finale item, everyone knew it had to be extraordinary.

”This is a pill formula...”

Yun Qianqian paused for a moment, deliberately glancing toward Song Mingshu as if waiting for him to speak.

Song Mingshu immediately felt so angry that his whole body trembled, nearly flipping the table.

”This pill is called the Revival Pill. After swallowing it, it will fuse with a wisp of the soul. Even if the soul is extinguished in battle, it can still re-condense, maintaining immortality!”

Even Yun Qianqian herself took a deep breath as she spoke of the effects of the Revival Pill.

”The Revival Pill, a Superior Holy Spirit Level Pill, and this formula... is the pill formula for the Revival Pill!”

”What!!!”

”If a cultivator’s body dies, it can still be reassembled, but if the soul dies, then it’s truly the end. This pill... can actually re-condense the soul?!” 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

”The Revival Pill? How come I have never heard of it before?”

”Whether you have heard of it or not isn’t important. The key is the effect of this pill; it’s truly defying heaven!!!”

”As expected of the grand finale item. Such a pill can only be described as terrifying!”

”If it were just a single pill, that would be one thing, but this is the pill formula! The pill formula!!!”

”With such a pill formula, as long as there are enough materials, one could refine countless Revival Pills, but...”

Suddenly, someone looked at Yun Qianqian and asked, ”Miss Yun, is the Revival Pill effective every time it’s taken, or just once?”

”It’s effective every time.” Yun Qianqian nodded.

”Nonsense!”

From private room number one, Song Mingshu’s hair was a bit disheveled, and he stood up as if crazed, declaring, ”How can there be such a pill in this world? If this pill truly has such power, how could the ancestors of our forces possibly die! Wouldn’t everyone on the Dragon Martial Continent be an ancestor?”

Hearing this, others felt there was some logic to it.

”I told you, if your soul is extinguished during battle, then this pill is useful. But if your lifespan is exhausted and your time of death has come, even this pill cannot save you,” Yun Qianqian said indifferently.

After several repeated provocations from Song Mingshu, Yun Qianqian had come to fully understand that Song Mingshu, and even her sister Yun Congcong, were deliberately targeting her at this auction!

If she did not host this auction well, then the reputation of Myriad Treasures Pavilion would plummet, making a laughingstock out of the two other major commerce firms.

And if that happened, her father would surely be disappointed in her, which would throw into question whether she could inherit the position of Family Head.

Yun Qianqian had not cared about the position of Family Head before, but what Yun Congcong and Song Mingshu had done truly disappointed her to the extreme.

”In the Dragon Martial Continent, there are many pill formulas, but there are also many counterfeits. How can you prove that this is indeed the formula for the Revival Pill? And how can you prove that the Revival Pill truly has such effects?” Song Mingshu asked again.

Yun Qianqian’s words faltered; this had been a concern of hers as well.

A High-Grade Pill of the Holy Spirit Level—such a pill could only be refined by the top pill masters on the entire Dragon Martial Continent, and the Yun Family did not possess such a pill master.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze turned towards Yun Qianqian, seemingly awaiting her response.

Su Han’s brows also knitted together. With his current cultivation base, he was unable to refine the Revival Pill as well. If Song Mingshu were to nag about this issue, it would indeed pose some difficulty.

”Su Baliu, keep talking!”

Seeing that Yun Qianqian did not speak, Song Mingshu laughed heartily. ”Today’s matter is not about targeting Qianqian; after all, she’s Congcong’s sister. But I believe that as merchants, we must have integrity! I, Song, am an honest man with a straightforward nature. I do not wish to see everyone here deceived; hence my previous words. But now, I simply do not trust this pill formula!”

”Su Baliu, if you still can argue with me, then I really want to see whether you can refine this Revival Pill... or if you actually possess the Revival Pill!”

With these words, the whole place burst into an uproar.

Until now, Su Han had been locking horns with Song Mingshu, and the people present had already noticed it. However, many did not recognize Su Han. Now that Song Mingshu directly exposed Su Han’s identity, their faces immediately showed various expressions.

”He is Su Baliu? The Su Baliu from the Phoenix Sect?”

”His real name is Su Han; he was just called Su Baliu because he once claimed he could take on an entire Eighth-Rank Sect by himself.”

”That’s him, the one who destroyed the Sect of the Battle God’s stronghold and killed the Daozi of the major super sects. He also interfered in the competition for disciples held by the Top Ten Super Sects at the Mountain of the Divine Medicine?”

”Although I’ve only heard of him, his state of mind is indeed excellent. His words directly touched the core of the matter, and I’ve even gained some enlightenment from them.”

”Could it be that Su Baliu has some kind of relationship with Yun Qianqian? Has he always been helping Yun Qianqian? Perhaps he’s going to be Qianqian’s future... live-in son-in-law?”

”It must be so. Yun Qianqian will be the future head of the Yun Family, and Yun Congcong, holding a grudge in his heart, instigated Song Mingshu to sabotage Yun Qianqian at this auction.”

”This Su Baliu sure has some tricks; he even managed to get his hands on someone like Yun Qianqian, who has looks, aptitude, and family background. He’s merely the sect master of a measly Sixth-Rate Sect. What gives him the right?”

”It’s not just Yun Qianqian. Haven’t you seen him sitting with Nangong Yu, the Young Palace Master of One Slash Palace? It’s said that when Su Baliu arrived at Dragon Martial City, he had a conflict with disciples of the Jade Void Palace and directly resorted to killing. Later, Elder Chen Yu of the Jade Void Palace intervened, wanting to strike him down, but Nangong Yu protected him.”

A wave of murmurs spread through the vicinity.

Gazes sharp as swords pierced through the private box, landing directly on Su Han.

”You’ve become famous now,” Nangong Yu teased.

Amidst the gazes, Su Han remained seated without disorder, his expression still calm.

”That Song Mingshu, he surely does not have good intentions. If you counter him now, it would prove that you know something about the Revival Pill, or you might actually have the Revival Pill. Such a precious medicine... it truly is a supreme treasure that will attract countless greedy cultivators and powers to set their sights on you,” Nangong Yu said again.

Su Han remained silent, not uttering a word.

Yun Qianqian, on the other hand, looked worried.

”Su Baliu, weren’t you quite the talker? Now Song gives you the chance. If you can still speak about this pill as fancifully as you did before, then I’ll admit that I’ve lost!”

Song Mingshu’s voice rose once more.
