The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 412: Chapter 412: The Shock of the 9th Elder Chapter 412: Chapter 412: The Shock of the 9th Elder The Ninth Elder casually took a jade bottle from Zhang Yu’s hand.

Zhang Yu had five porcelain bottles and several dozen jade bottles in her hands.

The Ninth Elder didn’t pay much attention to the porcelain bottles, the key was these jade bottles.

If there were elixirs in the jade bottles, then there would be dozens of elixirs here at least.

On second thought, it seemed implausible.

Even if it were dozens of the most low-level elixirs, their total value could easily reach hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.

Hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones were not a small amount for a family the size of the Zhang Family.

Taking the jade bottle into his hand, the Ninth Elder revealed a self-mocking expression.

He had initially thought the jade bottles might contain elixirs, but now, having calmed down, he realized it was unlikely.

The quantity was simply too great.

If it were one or two jade bottles, then it might have been possible they contained elixirs.

Gently, he opened the jade bottle with a flick of his hand.

His eyes glanced inside the jade bottle, and the Ninth Elder’s eyes suddenly bulged, his gaze fixated on the jade bottle in his hand.

Inside this jade bottle, there was unmistakably an elixir.

As soon as the jade bottle was opened, the Ninth Elder felt an energy fluctuation emanating from within.

“This…” The Ninth Elder dumped out the elixir from the bottle.

“Guiyuan Pills!

These are Guiyuan Pills!

And their quality, they don’t seem to be Third Grade,” the Ninth Elder’s breath hitched.

The Ninth Elder was a Martial Artist at the Innate Realm himself and could judge the quality of a Guiyuan Pill somewhat.

He had used many Third Grade Guiyuan Pills, but the one in his hand now was notably different from those he had used before, whether in terms of color or the energy fluctuations it emitted.

“Dad!

All these jade bottles contain elixirs.” Zhang Yu looked at her father in surprise.

“Let me see!” The Ninth Elder hurriedly took all the jade bottles from Zhang Yu’s hands, opening them one by one for inspection.

The more he saw, the more shocked he became.

Just as Zhang Yu had said, the contents of the jade bottles were all elixirs.

There were Guiyuan Pills, Revitalizing Pills, Qi Condensing Pills, and even three Spirit Infant Pills.

This was too extravagant!

With a quick estimate, the value of these elixirs was definitely more than two million Spirit Stones.

Even for the entire family, two million Spirit Stones was a substantial figure.

As he was shocked, the Ninth Elder’s thoughts rapidly turned.

“Zhang Yu!

Did Jing Yan tell you that these resources were all left behind by your sister?” His gaze shifted to Zhang Yu.

“Yes!” Zhang Yu nodded.

The Ninth Elder said nothing more.

Zhang Yu was naïve, believing what Jing Yan had told her.

But it was different for the Ninth Elder.

He instantly knew that Jing Yan’s words couldn’t be true.

First of all, he was very aware of his daughter Zhang Min’s abilities.

Although she was quite capable, the resources she could obtain at Dao Yi Academy were barely enough for her own use, not to mention leaving behind such a vast amount.

Since these resources were not left by Zhang Min, they had to be Jing Yan’s own.

But why would Jing Yan want to give them to Zhang Yu?

The Ninth Elder’s gaze flickered, and then his body trembled slightly as he considered a possibility.

Could it be that Jing Yan had taken an interest in Zhang Yu?

After a bit of thought, the Ninth Elder felt that this possibility was quite substantial.

Perhaps Jing Yan’s relationship with Zhang Min was not that of ordinary friends.

Why did Jing Yan bring Zhang Min’s body back from Dao Yi Academy?

Initially, including himself, many in the Zhang Family thought Jing Yan might have done it for compensation.

But now, that guess seemed ridiculous.

If Jing Yan could offer so many elixirs, he surely wouldn’t care for a small amount of resources, and the Zhang Family couldn’t produce many resources to thank him—several tens of thousands of Spirit Stones would already be quite generous.

Therefore, it was very likely that Jing Yan had a romantic relationship with Zhang Min during their time at Dao Yi Academy.

Now that Jing Yan had met Zhang Yu, who resembled her sister Zhang Min, it seemed likely that Jing Yan had taken a liking to her.

The reason for gifting these elixirs to Zhang Yu now seemed clear.

“Dad, these five porcelain bottles…” Zhang Yu had no idea what her father was thinking at this moment.

All the jade bottles had been taken by her father, and she still held five porcelain bottles, so she looked at them, meaning to ask her father if he wanted to take the porcelain bottles as well.

“What’s in these medicine bottles?” asked the Ninth Elder absentmindedly.

If Jing Yan could hand out so many elixirs to Zhang Yu, the medicine he provided was likely quite precious as well.

However, even if it were more precious, it could not compare with elixirs.

In contrast to the elixirs, the Ninth Elder was not as concerned about the five bottles of medicine.

Therefore, he asked quite casually.

“Brother Jing Yan said that these contain something called Holy Spirit Potion, which can assist Ninth Layer Heaven Martial Artists break through to the Innate, and they are very precious, even more than many elixirs,” said Zhang Yu slowly.

“What?”

The Ninth Elder’s breathing became heavier.

His wandering mind was abruptly pulled back, and his eyes widened.

A medicine even more precious than many elixirs?

Indeed, the Ninth Elder had never heard of such a thing.

If he hadn’t seen those elixirs first, he definitely would have thought that Jing Yan was spouting nonsense.

But now, having seen those dozens of elixirs, could Jing Yan just be babbling without truth?

Since Jing Yan claimed that the potion was more precious than many elixirs, then…

Holy Spirit Potion?

The Ninth Elder shook his head and furrowed his brows; he truly had never heard of such a potion.

After taking a deep breath, he took a bottle of the medicine and carefully examined it.

“I have never seen this kind of potion,” said the Ninth Elder.

He had never seen Holy Spirit Potion, so he couldn’t know the value of such a potion.

If it really was as Jing Yan claimed, assisting Ninth Layer Heaven Martial Artists to advance to the Innate, then it should indeed be extremely valuable.

“Zhang Yu!

Let’s go see the Clan Leader,” said the Ninth Elder immediately.

Although the elixirs and medicines were gifts from Jing Yan to Zhang Yu, it was still better to let the Clan Leader know.

If they were just resources of average value, they would not need to tell the family, but these resources were worth over two million Spirit Stones—it was too alarming.

Zhang Yu followed her father to the Clan Chief’s Courtyard.

“Ninth Elder!” The Zhang Family Patriarch Zhang Yibing saw the Ninth Elder and gave a wry smile.

He also knew about Zhang Min’s death, and that must have caused the Ninth Elder great sorrow, “The arrangements for Zhang Min’s affairs have already been made.

Though Zhang Min was a woman, she must be given a grand burial!

Zhang Min, this child, was the pride of our Zhang Family!”

“Clan Leader, I’m not here to talk about this,” the Ninth Elder looked at Zhang Yibing and sighed, pausing for a moment before speaking, “I would like to talk to the Clan Leader about Jing Yan.”
