Chapter 2519: That Damn Brat Jing Yan

When Gao Zhenjiang was sending a message to City Lord Jing Yan, Meng Kun and all the elders of the Golden Toad Commerce were watching Gao Zhenjiang.

“Oh?” Jing Yan said.

“City Lord Jing Yan, I’ve already guaranteed our President that you will definitely sell us some Qianhe Zhenye. You really have to give me this face! Otherwise, I’ll be utterly embarrassed.” Gao Zhenjiang said with a somewhat nervous tone; of course, he was doing it on purpose.

“Elder Gao, you flatter me! I do indeed still have some Qianhe Zhenye in my hands. If Elder Gao wants to buy, it’s not impossible. But the price is rather expensive!” Jing Yan said.

“For one Qianhe Zhenye, how many Black Crystal Stones?” Gao Zhenjiang glanced at Meng Kun, then sent another message.

“Each Qianhe Zhenye, one hundred and eighty billion Black Crystal Stones—this is the friendship price. At a unit price of one hundred and eighty billion, I can sell you five Qianhe Zhenye, Elder Gao.” Jing Yan chuckled softly.

Hearing Jing Yan’s quote, Meng Kun and the others couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Although they had mentally prepared themselves, hearing such a sky?high price still shook Meng Kun and the others.

“City Lord Jing Yan, the relationship between our Golden Toad Commerce and Hongmeng City is anything but ordinary. No matter what, please lower the price a bit more.” Gao Zhenjiang said hurriedly.

“Elder Gao! I’ll give you this face—one trillion Black Crystal Stones for six. As for anything else, don’t say another word.”

“I can refine Qianhe Zhenye, but the materials are extremely scarce. I can guarantee that there are many people who want to buy it yet can’t get any.” Jing Yan said.

Gao Zhenjiang looked toward Meng Kun.

President Meng Kun lightly nodded to Gao Zhenjiang.

“Alright! City Lord Jing Yan, it’s settled then. I’ll set out immediately for Hongmeng City. Within two months I’ll arrive at Hongmeng City.” Gao Zhenjiang said straightforwardly.

When Gao Zhenjiang finished his communication with City Lord Jing Yan, Meng Kun and the elders all let out a sigh of relief. Every one of them had burning eyes. Only, what they now had to face was a fairly serious problem: for the moment they could only obtain six Qianhe Zhenye. These six Qianhe Zhenye—who should be allowed to use them and who should not? The number of elders in the Golden Toad Commerce was certainly not just six.

Who wouldn’t want to use Qianhe Zhenye to raise the purity of their Divine Soul Body?

“Immediately! Immediately send out the verification news about Qianhe Zhenye. Use all our channels to spread it at the fastest speed.” President Meng Kun said.

“Yes!” several elders responded.

Once a piece of news was spread out through the Golden Toad Commerce’s channels, the effect went without saying.

…

Headquarters of the Eight Gods Pill Sect!

As the strongest Alchemy Dao power in the Heavenly Domain, the Eight Gods Pill Sect was undoubtedly arrogant.

The Eight Gods Pill Sect was a superpower. Its martial strength might be inferior to that of some other superpowers, but among those other superpowers, few dared to offend the Eight Gods Pill Sect.

At this moment, in the council hall of the Eight Gods Pill Sect headquarters, some high?level members were also in discussion.

Over the last two hundred years, the Eight Gods Pill Sect had been very disgruntled. All because of that damned Hongmeng City. Ever since Hongmeng City appeared, the Eight Gods Pill Sect had suffered multiple losses of face. Even its Elixir business had taken a hit. Especially the Thunder Domain business—it could be said to have shrunk drastically. The Eight Gods Pill Sect had Pill Towers in many cities, and the Thunder Domain was no exception. The Eight God Pill Tower in Tiger Roar City was the Eight Gods Pill Sect’s regional branch in the Thunder Domain. But now, business at the Eight God Pill Tower in Tiger Roar City had already plummeted.

This was something they had no way to avoid.

The Elixir prices at Hongmeng Pill Tower were not higher than those of the Eight God Pill Tower, yet in quality they surpassed the Elixirs of the Eight God Pill Tower. How could Cultivators and adventurers ignore the Elixirs of Hongmeng Pill Tower and go buy those of the Eight God Pill Tower instead? Cultivators aren’t stupid!

No matter how great the influence of the Eight Gods Pill Sect, it could not control all Cultivators in the entire Heavenly Domain. Moreover, Hongmeng City was extremely overbearing, and Hongmeng City’s Jing Yan was exceedingly forceful. It was very difficult for the Eight Gods Pill Sect to implement effective sanction measures targeting the Thunder Domain.

Today, during a council of the Eight Gods Pill Sect’s high?level members, the main topic was the Qianhe Zhenye recently launched by Hongmeng Pill Tower.

“I think the Qianhe Zhenye of Hongmeng Pill Tower cannot be the Qianhe Zhenye we know. Hongmeng City is just hyping things up.” In the council hall, an elder with a serious expression said gravely.

“My view is the same.” Another elder nodded.

“Ordinary Cultivators may not understand the difficulty of refining Qianhe Zhenye, but our Eight Gods Pill Sect knows this pill inside and out. Even we, the Eight Gods Pill Sect, can’t produce Qianhe Zhenye. How could a mere Hongmeng City possibly refine Qianhe Zhenye?” A green?robed elder said in a tone full of disdain.

“Everyone, we mustn’t underestimate that Jing Yan!” The elder seated in the chief position swept his gaze around and said in a deep voice.

After pausing briefly, he continued, “Hongmeng Pill Tower’s launch of Qianhe Zhenye—I also don’t believe it is the genuine Qianhe Zhenye. However, Hongmeng Pill Tower definitely isn’t trumpeting Qianhe Zhenye out of thin air. In their hands, they must have some kind of Elixir, whose effects are perhaps somewhat similar to those of Qianhe Zhenye.”

This elder was the Sect Master of the Eight Gods Pill Sect.

At the same time, he was one of the Pill Masters with the strongest Alchemy Dao capability in all Kunling Heaven, and also one of the very few Pill Masters in the entire Heavenly Domain who could refine Top-grade Immortal Pills. The high?level members of the Eight Gods Pill Sect were basically all Immortal Pill Masters. They might not be the best at combat, but in Alchemy they were certainly the best.

“Sect Master is right! Judging from Hongmeng City’s past style of behavior, they wouldn’t shoot arrows without a target. Their Qianhe Zhenye is unlikely to be the genuine Qianhe Zhenye, but in their hands there should be an Elixir with effects similar to Qianhe Zhenye—for instance, one that can strengthen a Cultivator’s Divine Soul Body and so on.” A High Grade Immortal Alchemist nodded, picking up the Sect Master’s words.

“They’re truly hateful! That damned brat Jing Yan!” An Immortal Pill Master cursed Jing Yan.

“Right now the whole Heavenly Domain is talking about Hongmeng City and Hongmeng Pill Tower. Their reputation is rising too fast. According to reliable intelligence, the population of Hongmeng City has already surpassed one hundred million. Even outside the Thunder Domain, that counts as a large city.” A High Grade Immortal Alchemist said in a shrill voice.

At this moment, the Sect Master’s expression suddenly changed, and he took out a Communication Magical Treasure.

After the Sect Master checked the information within the Communication Magical Treasure, he abruptly stood up. His expression became extremely strange, and his eyes were filled with shock.

The Sect Master’s sudden movement left the high?level members of the Eight Gods Pill Sect present somewhat puzzled. What was going on with the Sect Master? What had happened?

“Sect Master, has something happened?” A High Grade Immortal Alchemist asked.

Such a great reaction from the Sect Master was clearly triggered by the information he had just read in the Communication Magical Treasure.
