The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2517: Chapter 2517: Only Trial by Pill

Hearing President Meng Kun’s words, all the elders present lifted their eyes to look at Meng Kun.

”When I first saw this Elixir, I felt as if I’d seen it somewhere before. Thinking carefully, this Elixir is extremely similar to the special Divine Pill, Qianhe Zhenye.” An elder spoke.

”I also feel this Elixir looks like Qianhe Zhenye.”

”Now that you mention it, I remember—this really is exactly the same as the Qianhe Zhenye in the rumors.”

The elders of Golden Toad Commerce present began speaking one after another. Not all these elders knew of Qianhe Zhenye; some relatively young elders were hearing about Qianhe Zhenye for the first time.

”This Elixir was brought back from Leiyu Hongmeng City by Elder Gao Zhenjiang.” Meng Kun said.

”Everyone, according to what City Lord Jing Yan of Hongmeng City said, this Elixir is Qianhe Zhenye. Elder Yu Luo, do you still remember when our Golden Toad Commerce traded Divine Soul Items with City Lord Jing Yan? You brought the Incomplete Pill Recipe of Qianhe Zhenye along at that time.” Gao Zhenjiang spoke, looking toward Elder Yu Luo.

”Of course I remember. The Incomplete Pill Recipe of Qianhe Zhenye was what our Golden Toad Commerce gifted to City Lord Jing Yan.” Elder Yu Luo nodded.

”City Lord Jing Yan claimed that he has already completed the Pill Formula of Qianhe Zhenye and has successfully refined the Elixir.” Gao Zhenjiang said in a heavy tone.

”Elder Gao, that’s impossible. We all know City Lord Jing Yan’s ability is outstanding; the two types of Top Grade Immortal Pills of Hongmeng Pill Tower are both from his hand. But to say that in just over a hundred years he completed the Pill Formula of Qianhe Zhenye—I truly find that hard to believe.” An elder shook his head.

”Indeed! In the history of Kunling Heaven, there have been quite a few Immortal Pill Masters who tried to complete the Pill Formula of Qianhe Zhenye. Some of those Immortal Pill Masters even spent hundreds of millions of years, devoting all their energy to that Incomplete Pill Recipe, and in the end all of them failed.”

”No matter how strong City Lord Jing Yan is, it’s impossible for him to refine Qianhe Zhenye in such a short time. Unless he already knew the complete Pill Formula of Qianhe Zhenye beforehand, which is even more impossible.”

The elders all didn’t really believe that Jing Yan could refine Qianhe Zhenye.

”Honored elders, City Lord Jing Yan, according to my understanding of him, is not someone who speaks rashly without basis. Moreover, what would be the point of him deceiving us? This Elixir was gifted by him; I did not purchase it from him. If it’s a Fake Pill, what would his purpose be? I may not be a Pill Master, but I can at least be sure this is not a Poison Pill.” Gao Zhenjiang said with furrowed brows.

The other elders looked at one another, and for a moment could not find an answer.

”President, why not have someone use this Elixir directly, and then we’ll know?” Elder Yu Luo suggested.

This was indeed a very simple and direct method.

Whether the Elixir is real or fake, have someone eat it directly, and the effect will naturally be clear.

”That’s not very appropriate. If this Elixir really is Qianhe Zhenye, then its value—there’s no need for me to say, you all know it. City Lord Jing Yan is unlikely to be generous enough to send us another one.” President Meng Kun shook his head.

”President, how about inviting Mr. Dong Shu Bi to take a look?” Gao Zhenjiang’s gaze turned to Meng Kun.

Bi Dongshu, a High Grade Immortal Alchemist, was also the only High Grade Immortal Alchemist within Golden Toad Commerce.

A Superpower like Golden Toad Commerce would certainly nurture its own Pill Masters. It’s just that for forces like Golden Toad Commerce, their core focus is not on the Alchemy Dao, so in terms of Alchemy Dao strength they are far inferior to Eight Gods Pill Sect, that Alchemy Sect. But regardless, for a Superpower to not even have a single High Grade Immortal Alchemist would be unreasonable.

Bi Dongshu is Golden Toad Commerce’s High Grade Immortal Alchemist, with a transcendent status. Bi Dongshu basically does not participate in Golden Toad Commerce’s business operations or development; he only refines Elixirs and manages a group of Pill Masters of Golden Toad Commerce, and will also select some seedlings with talent in Alchemy Dao for cultivation.

Bi Dongshu’s temper is rather eccentric; even the face of Golden Toad Commerce’s President sometimes doesn’t work on him. Therefore, including Meng Kun and the various elders, usually they don’t like dealing with Bi Dongshu. Precisely because of this, after Gao Zhenjiang brought Qianhe Zhenye back from Hongmeng City, he didn’t rush to see Bi Dongshu.

”Honored elders, what do you say?” Meng Kun turned his eyes to the crowd present.

The elders all revealed odd smiles; no one directly responded to Meng Kun.

”Given how important this is, we should still invite Mr. Dong Shu to take a look. At worst, we’ll just be mocked by him a few times.” Meng Kun gave a bitter smile.

After that, he ordered the Shadow Guards to invite Immortal Pill Master Mr. Dong Shu to the elders’ council meeting.

President Meng Kun, together with Gao Zhenjiang and a group of elders, all waited in the council hall for Bi Dongshu to arrive. They waited for close to four hours before Mr. Dong Shu finally arrived late.

”President, what do you want from me? I’m in the middle of refining pills!” After Bi Dongshu entered the council hall, he spoke directly.

He only swept his gaze quickly over the elders of the Commerce, not even bothering to greet them. The elders all knew Bi Dongshu’s temperament, so none of them felt offended. Of course, Bi Dongshu’s status and position are not beneath that of the ordinary elders.

”Mr. Dong Shu, I invited you here because I wish to have you verify an Elixir.” Meng Kun spoke bluntly.

With Bi Dongshu, there is no need for those meaningless polite phrases; it’s best to just talk about the matter.

”Verify an Elixir? What Elixir?” Hearing that the President had called him over just to verify an Elixir, Bi Dongshu became somewhat impatient.

He is a High Grade Immortal Alchemist, not a Pill Master apprentice. The President calls him to run over here just to verify an Elixir? The fact that he didn’t fling his sleeve and leave on the spot could already be considered giving the President face.

Meng Kun stood up and handed the Jade Bottle to Bi Dongshu. Bi Dongshu took it and opened the Jade Bottle, his expression casual. But when he saw the Elixir inside the Jade Bottle, his expression changed rapidly, becoming solemn. He carefully took out the Elixir, his eyes fixed tightly on this red Elixir.

He looked at it for a long time.

Meanwhile Meng Kun and the others did not speak to disturb him. The council hall remained quiet. Everyone even kept their breathing very light.

”How can this be... How can there still be Qianhe Zhenye Elixirs in the Heavenly Domain?” After a long while, Bi Dongshu finally spoke, his brows tightly knitted.

”Mr. Dong Shu, this Elixir was brought back from Leiyu Hongmeng City. Mr. Dong Shu, do you think it is the genuine Qianhe Zhenye?” A sharp light flashed in Meng Kun’s eyes as he spoke to Bi Dongshu.

”Thunder Domain? Hongmeng City?”

”President, I see no problem with this Elixir at all. In every respect—be it aura, color, and so on—it is the genuine Qianhe Zhenye.” Bi Dongshu nodded.

The elders all widened their eyes one by one.

”However, based only on external verification and identification, I still cannot be one hundred percent certain that it has no issues. If we want a completely accurate answer, then the only option is to test the pill by consumption.” Bi Dongshu continued.
