Chapter 1032: Chapter 1032: Things Got Out of Hand! Chapter 1032: Chapter 1032: Things Got Out of Hand! In fact, no one was a fool when Huang Xiaolong asked about the value of his dicinal pill compared with Young Master Chang’s three sword techniques, which was higher and which was lower, better or worse…
Everyone in the room had clearly heard every word previously said by Mr. Dongfang.
Altogether, including installnts, Mr. Dongfang had agreed to pay four hundred top-grade spirit stones for Huang Xiaolong’s dicinal pill, along with so additional generous terms.
anwhile, Young Master Chang’s three sword techniques had long been appraised at one hundred top-grade spirit stones.
The comparison was imdiately clear!
Before Mr. Dongfang had even spoken, Young Master Chang’s face turned extrely ugly, his corners of the mouth twitching, and his eyes filled with bloodshot veins.
“Little brother, the value of your dicinal pill is far greater than those three sword techniques. The difference between their values is like that between heaven and earth,” Mr. Dongfang declared in a fair-minded tone.
Everyone in the hall fell silent.
This bet had been lost by Young Master Chang, lost utterly and completely.
Everyone trusted in Mr. Dongfang’s impartiality; his reputation was impeccable in the world of overseas cultivators, and he never engaged in favoritism or malpractice, deliberately skewing his judgnt for anyone.
However, everyone was wracking their brains, unable to comprehend why a seemingly ordinary dicinal pill could be valued more highly than three powerful sword techniques.
Where was the justice in that?!
“Hehe, you lost. Now kneel down and kowtow,” Huang Xiaolong teased Young Master Chang with a smirk.
“No!!!!” Suddenly, Young Master Chang shrieked sharply, “Impossible! Impossible! How can a single dicinal pill be worth more than my three sword techniques? There must be so deceit involved!”
Hearing Young Master Chang’s hysterical scream, a shade of indignation flashed across Mr. Dongfang’s face. “What, are you questioning my integrity? Or perhaps, are you doubting my ability to assess treasures? Hehehe~~ Young man, you’re a disciple from the Kongtong Sect, right? Even the transcendent elders of your sect have never doubted . And you? Hehe, do you really want to tarnish my reputation today?”
“Young Master Chang, mind your words!” Miss Zhan chastised, her aura slightly emanating with disapproval.
The two old servants behind Young Master Chang also hurriedly whispered a caution. “Young Master, you can’t talk recklessly like that.”
“No, no, Mr. Dongfang, I’m not doubting you. But I cannot accept this! Mr. Dongfang, please reveal the value of this dicinal pill so I can judge for myself… Just like this, I truly can’t bear it!” Young Master Chang roared lowly.
Not only Young Master Chang, but everyone present was utterly perplexed and all cast curious glances toward Mr. Dongfang, hoping he could clear up the confusion.
“Alright~~” Mr. Dongfang nodded and, sowhat reluctantly, handed the dicinal pill back to Huang Xiaolong.
This caused Huang Xiaolong to develop so respect for Mr. Dongfang.
After all, Mr. Dongfang already knew the effects of this not-dying dicinal pill; despite his old age and need for prolonging his life, he could have simply swallowed the pill first. Given Huang Xiaolong’s current status as an unknown loose cultivator and Mr. Dongfang’s stature and connections, who would care if he swallowed the not-dying dicine?
But he had not done so, which clearly showed his integrity was as clear as day, forthright and upright!
“Hehe~” Huang Xiaolong gripped the not-dying dicinal pill and nodded his thanks to Mr. Dongfang.
Mr. Dongfang was about to speak but seed to suddenly recall sothing. He smiled at Huang Xiaolong and whispered. “Young brother, do you really want to disclose the mystery of this dicine in public? Young man, you are naïve and unaware of the dangers in the world of cultivators. This dicine is a supre treasure, which might incite a fierce scramble, and in the face of imnse benefits, all rules can be crushed by the powerful.”
The six loose cultivators who accompanied Huang Xiaolong all nodded in agreent, knowing well the law of the jungle in the overseas cultivators’ world.
Actually, Huang Xiaolong found himself in an awkward situation now.
Either he could simply sell the dicinal pill to Mr. Dongfang and wash his hands of the matter,
or insist that Mr. Dongfang disclose the extraordinary aspect of the dicine; but doing so might expose him to overt robberies or even losing his life.
“Mr. Dongfang, please speak. This competition must also convince the younger generation wholeheartedly,” Young Master Chang said, clearly understanding the key point. He gave Huang Xiaolong a sinister glance and stirred up the crowd.
“Heh, Mr. Dongfang, feel free to speak. Don’t worry about ,” Huang Xiaolong responded with nonchalance.
“Well, alright then.” Mr. Dongfang respected Huang Xiaolong’s wishes and spoke aloud, “Ladies and gentlen, this dicine. I once had the fortune to see one during a major identification conference many years ago. At that ti, a mysterious cultivator surnad ‘Xu’ put it up for sale. Therefore, I am not unfamiliar with this dicine.”
Huang Xiaolong’s mind stirred. ‘Oh, so Mr. Dongfang is talking about Xu Fu… It turns out, this guy had already brought the immortal dicine to trade in the overseas cultivators’ world.’
“This dicine does not contain much Spiritual Energy, nor does it have strong Mana fluctuations. This dicine is called — the Immortal dicine!” Mr. Dongfang’s eyes shone brilliantly. “What is Immortal dicine? As the na implies, those who consu this dicine achieve immortality! In the world of cultivators, what pill is most precious? The answer is simple — any pill that can extend one’s lifespan! Many years ago, here in Guan Shan Island’s market, a Yin Yang Longevity Pill that could add 200 years to one’s life was sold for the high price of 80 top-grade Spirit Stones. Extending life by 200 years, worth 80 top-grade Spirit Stones. So, what is immortality worth?”
“Eternal life is the ultimate goal for us cultivators! Lifespan, sothing valued by the common folk, is even more valued by us cultivators. Although our lifespans are many tis that of ordinary humans, the ti we spend in cultivation is far too long. Only upon reaching the Transcendent Realm, does one obtain a relatively longer lifespan. However, the Transcendent Realm requires one to undergo tribulation; failing to transcend ans eternal doom, imdiate death. Stepping into the Law Manifestation Realm truly ans transcending life and death. Yet of the many cultivators, how many can reach this state? Mana Realm cultivators will die, Divine Skills Realm cultivators also cannot withstand the erosion of ti. Moreover, lifespan is too important for us cultivators; having a longer lifespan ans constantly striving for higher realms without worrying about dying during the process, regretting an old death.”
Mr. Dongfang’s words were like the beating of drums at dawn and dusk, striking everyone’s ears.
In the hall, the cultivators showed various expressions — so were horrified, so were filled with greed, so were confused, so displayed a murderous aura, so were ferocious…
The atmosphere beca subtly delicate.
“However, this Immortal dicine has two drawbacks. Because of these, the dicine is not considered a priceless treasure. These two drawbacks, if not perfectly resolved, leave the dicine with severe flaws. But it would still be highly coveted by us cultivators,” Mr. Dongfang revealed without the slightest concealnt.
Huang Xiaolong naturally knew the two major drawbacks of the Immortal dicine.
1, After consuming the Immortal dicine, one would periodically fall into a deep sleep, possibly awakening only after decades, or it could even take hundreds of years to awake. Even overseas cultivators likely cannot control this dormant state, and during this period, vital functions cease, preventing cultivation.
2, After consuming the Immortal dicine, one would no longer possess the ability to reproduce.
At that mont, cultivators couldn’t help but surround Huang Xiaolong, quickly closing in to form an encircling trend.
“Don’t act recklessly!” Mr. Dongfang chastised sowhat helplessly.
Huang Xiaolong, however, looked entirely unconcerned.
Just then!
Whoosh~ whoosh~~ whoosh~~~
Brilliant lights, tearing through the void from unknown origins, descended directly into the auction hall —
“This Immortal dicine, I claim it!” Among a radiance of golden sunlight, an old man dressed in a robe adorned with sun, moon, and stars walked out, his hair and beard all white but emanating a terrifyingly imnse pressure, so oppressive that the restive cultivators in the hall recoiled in terror.
A mighty figure had arrived!
Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed slightly, ‘Hmm, early stage of the Transcendent Realm. Not bad.’
“Hahaha~~ Good, good, not bad, another Immortal dicine has appeared in the world of overseas cultivators. It belongs to no one but .” Another robed old man stepped into the auction hall, his footsteps surging with dazzling light, dense runes swirling around.
Another early stage of the Transcendent Realm.
In an instant, quite a few early-stage Transcendent Realm powerhouses had reached the auction hall! Their life force flared like scorching suns.
“Ladies and gentlen, this is Guan Shan Island, and you have no right to act recklessly here~~~” From deep within the island, inside a palace, an imnsely deep voice rang out, filled with an unrivaled domineering aura.
It was the voice of Guan Shan Island’s Master!
‘Hehehe~~ Things are getting interesting~~’ Huang Xiaolong had an expression of soone enjoying the show.
