The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2518: Beyond Doubt

Bi Dongshu is a High Grade Immortal Alchemist, extremely talented in the Alchemy Dao, but merely judging by appearance, smell, and other aspects, he indeed cannot say he is completely confident in identifying this elixir as the Thousand Cranes True Leaf.

Though Bi Dongshu has not yet given a hundred percent confirmation, Meng Kun and the elders present seem somewhat excited. Even Mr. Dong Shu didn't find any problems, doesn't that mean there's a high chance this elixir is truly the Thousand Cranes True Leaf?

What does this represent?

It's something that stirs the heart and makes it hard to remain calm!

"Mr. Dong Shu, Elder Yu Luo just mentioned wanting to test the pill, but if we test it and it really is the Thousand Cranes True Leaf, getting another might take quite a bit of time," Meng Kun remarked.

"Indeed! This elixir comes from the Thunder Domain Hongmeng City, and our Golden Toad Commerce has a good relationship with Hongmeng City; we should still be able to buy this pill from them. However, even if City Lord Jing Yan is willing to sell us more Thousand Cranes True Leaf, sending someone back and forth will take a considerable amount of time," Gao Zhenjiang added, speaking to Mr. Dong Shu.

The Thousand Cranes True Leaf holds great significance, and Meng Kun and others still want to research the elixir.

"President!" Bi Dongshu looked at Meng Kun.

"Although I can't refine this Thousand Cranes True Leaf myself, I can split it in half. We only need to use half of it for testing. Of course, the effect of this half-pill is definitely far inferior to a whole one, perhaps only a quarter potency, but to confirm the elixir is indeed the Thousand Cranes True Leaf, we can only resort to this method," Bi Dongshu slowly said.

"Split the elixir in half?" Meng Kun was slightly taken aback.

An entire elixir is a complete one. Wanting to split an elixir into two isn't just a matter of using some force to break it. Inside the elixir, Dao skills converge, Divine Patterns weave together, and forcibly splitting an elixir in half often causes it to disintegrate rapidly.

"Yes! I can do this," Bi Dongshu nodded.

"If Mr. Dong Shu is confident, then let's proceed!" Meng Kun nodded as well.

With the President's approval, Bi Dongshu promptly took action. By observing him, it seemed he was already prepared even before Meng Kun agreed.

Splitting the Thousand Cranes True Leaf in half didn't consume much time; the entire process lasted about three to four breaths. But don't underestimate the difficulty due to the short time. During those three to four breaths, it's definite that Bi Dongshu concentrated all his attention on the elixir. Any slight error while splitting it could cause it to be lost.

"Alright!" Bi Dongshu held half of a red elixir in each hand.

Without waiting for the President to speak, Bi Dongshu first placed the elixir in his left hand back into the jade bottle, then stuffed the half in his right hand into his mouth.

Indeed, he ate half the elixir himself, without consulting the President's opinion.

Meng Kun watched as Bi Dongshu swallowed half an elixir, his eyes nearly bulging out. He wanted to speak but couldn't find any words upon opening his mouth. The other elders were equally dumbfounded, then wore bitter smiles. They knew Mr. Dong Shu's character well; in such circumstances, they could only close their mouths and smile wryly.

After ingesting half the Thousand Cranes True Leaf, Bi Dongshu's facial expression turned quite intricate, as if in some pain yet excited and thrilled. He closed his eyes, his body slightly trembled, and from time to time, Divine Power flowed around him.

After a while, Bi Dongshu opened his eyes.

"Mr. Dong Shu, how is it?" Meng Kun quickly asked as soon as he saw Bi Dongshu open his eyes.

Gao Zhenjiang and other elders also fixed their gaze on Bi Dongshu, waiting for his response.

"True Pill!"

"President, this Thousand Cranes True Leaf is undoubtedly a True Pill!"

"Incredible! Truly incredible! It's unimaginable that someone can still refine the Thousand Cranes True Leaf now! That City Lord Jing Yan in Hongmeng City has such terrifying abilities in the Alchemy Dao," Bi Dongshu exclaimed.

"True Pill?"

"The Thousand Cranes True Leaf is real?" Meng Kun and others murmured.

"Mr. Dong Shu, how do you know the Thousand Cranes True Leaf was refined by City Lord Jing Yan?" Gao Zhenjiang asked.

"Weren't you all saying just now that this elixir came from Hongmeng City? I've heard of City Lord Jing Yan before. If Hongmeng City possesses the Thousand Cranes True Leaf, it can only be refined by City Lord Jing Yan," Bi Dongshu squinted his eyes slightly.

"I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it to reappear after so long. Haha... I really want to meet City Lord Jing Yan," Bi Dongshu added wistfully.

Bi Dongshu had also researched the incomplete recipe of the Thousand Cranes True Leaf and tried to complete it but failed.

"President, the Thousand Cranes True Leaf can enhance the purity of a cultivator's divine soul body. We should contact City Lord Jing Yan immediately to procure the Thousand Cranes True Leaf elixirs from him," an elder turned to Meng Kun.

"Indeed, the sooner the better. News of Hongmeng City selling Thousand Cranes True Leaf is already spreading, but likely no one believes it yet. We should seize this opportunity to buy more Thousand Cranes True Leaf. Otherwise, once people react, competition may become fierce. The amount of Thousand Cranes True Leaf in City Lord Jing Yan's possession is probably not extensive," Elder Yu Luo stated solemnly.

"President, you can discuss among yourselves; I'll be going back now. By the way, I'll take the remaining half elixir and see if I can reverse-engineer the refining method," Bi Dongshu said, packed up the jade bottle, and left the council hall.

Watching Bi Dongshu leave, Meng Kun and others felt resigned.

"Elder Zhenjiang, please contact City Lord Jing Yan immediately to ensure he sells us a batch of Thousand Cranes True Leaf. Once he agrees, we'll spread the verification news. If we don't advertise, City Lord Jing Yan might be displeased," Meng Kun instructed Gao Zhenjiang.

"Alright! But... the price will certainly be very high," Gao Zhenjiang said.

"No matter how expensive, we have to purchase some. Alas, I sense that Mr. Dong Shu has a low chance of reverse-engineering the Thousand Cranes True Leaf refining method, and even if successful, it won't be quick!" Meng Kun sighed, shaking his head.

Immediately, Gao Zhenjiang sent a message to Jing Yan.

"City Lord Jing Yan!" Gao Zhenjiang transmitted.

"Elder Gao, sending me a message now, you must have returned to Golden Toad Commerce headquarters," Jing Yan replied.

"Indeed, I've returned to Golden Toad Commerce headquarters. I showed the Thousand Cranes True Leaf to our President, who wishes to purchase more Thousand Cranes True Leaf from you," Gao Zhenjiang chuckled.
