Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones—not to mention Kong Bai, even the entire Confucian Sage Sect might not be able to gather that much.
That's a whopping 10 billion low-grade spirit stones. Aside from holy lands and immortal dynasties, most people in the entire Immortal Martial Continent simply couldn't afford that.
Moreover, this Qi-Sculpting Pill is extremely rare and highly sought after; even if a ninth-grade alchemist provides sufficient materials, the success rate of refining it is less than ten percent.
Therefore, Shen Zhao's asking price was not excessive, but even reasonable, which made Kong Bai extremely embarrassed.
However, Kong Bai desperately needed this Qi-Sculpting Pill. His senior brother, Kong Beiyan, had been betrayed and had his foundation destroyed thirty years ago, leaving him despondent. This Qi-Sculpting Pill was his hope for restoring his confidence, and he had to obtain it no matter what.
So, he shamelessly asked, "Fellow Daoist, I really need this pill, but I don't have that much money on me. I wonder if I could exchange it for other treasures?"
After pondering for a while, Shen Zhao nodded: "If you had shown this attitude earlier, then everything could still be discussed. How about this, let's each compromise."
"Hand over all your spirit stones and treasures, and I'll take one more item from you. Consider this Qi-Sculpting Pill a gift. How about it?"
What is it?
"Jade of the Gentlemen".
"What!"
Kong Bai was startled and instinctively touched the transparent jade pendant at his waist.
It's not that Shen Zhao's requirements were too high, but rather that the conditions were far too simple.
"Fellow Daoist, are you really sure you want to exchange the Gentleman's Jade for this Qi-Sculpting Pill?"
"What? You're unwilling and planning to keep pushing your luck? It's just one question, whether you want to change it or not."
"Change!"
Fearing that Shen Zhao might change his mind, Kong Bai immediately took off the Gentleman's Jade from his body and handed it directly to Shen Zhao.
After Shen Zhao took it, he nodded directly: "Alright, now this Qi-Sculpting Pill is yours. I'll have Liang Hao collect the money later. If you're not busy now, please step aside. I have other things to take care of."
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."
Kong Bai was overjoyed as he put away the Yuan-Sculpting Pill and sat back down in front of the podium with a beaming smile.
The next moment, Shen Zhao took out another Qi-Sculpting Pill and said to the Su siblings, "I am deeply sorry for the accident that just happened. Now let's continue our conversation."
Here is a Qi-Building Pill. Its effects were explained clearly in the previous chapter, so I won't go into detail. As for who should use it, that's up to you.
After saying that, he threw the Qi-Sculpting Pill directly in front of them and looked down at them with an air of superiority.
When Kong Bai and his group saw Shen Zhao take out another Qi-Sculpting Pill, they were completely stunned.
Shen Zhao could casually produce two of the Yuan-Sculpting Pills that he regarded as precious treasures?
Does the arbitration committee have such a deep-rooted history?
The three siblings of the Su family looked at the Qi-Sculpting Pill that had fallen to the ground, and each of them had their own thoughts.
"This Qi-building pill is my only chance to restore my foundation, and I cannot afford to lose it."
"If I have the opportunity to rebuild my core essence, why should I give it up?"
"These two idiots love me so much, they'll definitely give me the Qi-Sculpting Pill, right?"
Each of the three harbored their own ulterior motives. It was Su Jinyi who took the initiative to pick up the pill and said to the other two, "Third brother, little sister, I have the highest cultivation level among the three of us, so why don't you give it to me?"
Upon hearing this, Su Jinyun rushed forward to snatch it, saying, "Second Brother, how could you do this? Although my cultivation level is not as high as yours, my potential is limitless. It should be mine to consume."
Seeing that her two brothers hadn't thought of her, Su Xuejiao became anxious: "Second brother, third brother, just give me this pill. Aren't you the ones who always dote on me the most?"
While Su Jinyi and Su Jinyun were still arguing, Su Xuejiao asked, and Su Jinyi said directly, "Little sister, your cultivation is too low. Giving you this pill would only be a waste. Don't try to take it from your second brother this time."
Su Jinyun also said, "Yes, little sister, we always give in to you, so it's your turn to give in to us this time. Don't worry, once I regain my strength, I will definitely help you find good fortune again."
Even if you can't recover, we will still protect you.
Upon hearing this, Su Xuejiao was not about to do as they wished, and immediately roared as she joined the fray.
"This pill is mine, it can only be mine."
"Get out of my way! If you dare to argue with me again, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
"Pah! Don't you even know your place? The Su family has raised you for so many years for nothing. Now that your older brother is in trouble, you have the nerve to try and take it from him?"
At this moment, when faced with matters concerning their own absolute interests, the so-called affection between the Su siblings was quickly stripped of its pretense, revealing its ugliest side to the world.
Yin Jiao'e was numb. Looking at the three siblings wrestling together, she couldn't reconcile the harmonious scene of the loving family just a few days ago.
When he looked at Shen Zhao again, his eyes were filled with apprehension.
What a brilliant move! It so easily turned the siblings into enemies.
However, at this moment, many disciples who coveted the elixir gradually revealed their greed.
"Damn, that's a Qi-Sculpting Pill, a priceless treasure!"
"To have it used by these ants would be a terrible waste!"
"Why don't we take this opportunity to acquire it, sell it on the black market, and then split the spirit stones we get? What do you think?"
"Let's do it this way, give it a shot, turn our humble dwelling into a grand mansion, let's go for it!"
The next moment, countless cultivators rushed over decisively, pushed the three wrestling figures to the ground, and began a frantic struggle.
The public trial panel, witnessing this scene, also had their own ideas.
The trio of simpletons exchanged glances, then said to Shen Zhao, "Fellow Daoist, are you really willing to give that Qi-Sculpting Pill to these juniors?"
"nature."
"Then what about us?"
"Don't ask me, the current Yuan-Sculpting Pill belongs to the Su family."
