Prince Rong refused to believe that Zheng Ya could advance Liu Yan'er's spiritual root to a higher realm with just one bottle of high-grade spiritual root repair fluid. He angrily took out a spirit-testing bead from his storage bag and urged Zheng Ya to reveal the bet.
As Master Tianyuan and his companions were engrossed in their performance, the dispersed crowd gradually gathered to watch the show.
Zheng Ya said with a smile, "Since Prince Rong doesn't want Manager Qi to live a little longer, it's perfectly acceptable to use the spirit-testing pearl in your hand to reveal the truth of the bet."
For the sake of fairness, we would like to trouble Venerable Tianyuan to personally test Liu Yan'er's spiritual root grade. Please?
"Haha, this old Daoist is honored. I wonder if Prince Rong trusts this old Daoist?" Master Tianyuan readily agreed with satisfaction.
With everyone watching, Prince Rong couldn't find a more suitable notary than himself. He gently pushed the spirit-testing bead in his hand toward Master Tianyuan and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Master!"
"Haha, alright, then this old Taoist will test the spiritual root grade of this little girl. You are all witnesses. Come on, little girl?" As he spoke, Master Tianyuan took the flying spirit-testing bead, held it in his right palm and slowly rotated it, then stretched it out to Liu Yan'er.
Liu Yan'er hesitated and turned her head to look at her grandfather. Liu Yuan put away his spirit-testing stone and said unhappily, "Yan'er, go!"
Testing the quality of spiritual roots will allow certain villains to reap the consequences of their actions.
The hypocrite's true colors will be exposed by Viscount Fu today, revealing his true colors and bringing him utter disgrace...
"Hmph, I'll wait and see," Prince Rong said with a resentful laugh.
At this point, further words were pointless. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Yan'er stepped closer to Tianyuan Shangren, her heart pounding, and placed her small hand on the Spirit Testing Pearl: "Buzz."
The Spirit Testing Pearl is a special magical artifact crafted to test spiritual roots. It can not only test the level of spiritual root cultivation, but also distinguish between demons and evil cultivators. It is of great value and noble nature.
To prevent evil spirits from infiltrating and harming their descendants, and from overthrowing the family and regime, the Spirit Testing Pearl played a decisive preventative role.
Although cultivators possess countless magical techniques to expose the disguises of demons and evil spirits, the disguises of demons and evil spirits are also constantly evolving, making it impossible for humans to guard against them.
The spirit-testing bead has become the most reliable tool for testing one's heart and spirit.
Liu Yan'er placed one hand on the Spirit Testing Pearl, which unleashed a fiery blue beam of light that was more than two feet high, shining brightly in the winter sun and cold wind.
The onlookers were stunned. Was this the mark of a spiritual root?
The cultivators were dumbfounded. Had it really happened?
Prince Rong's eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "A high-grade Xuan-level fire-wood spiritual root! This is impossible..."
"Fire and Wood Spiritual Roots, Fire 7 and Wood 3, Profound Grade, High Rank. If Prince Rong has any objections, he is welcome to come up and test it himself." Master Tianyuan did not want to admit this fact, but the facts were right in front of him and could not be faked.
Tianyuan Shangren had considered using special magic to cheat, befriending Prince Rong, and targeting Zheng Ya, but he was worried that the people of the Qian Yuan Immortal Sect behind Zheng Ya would find out, which would be a loss that would ruin him.
Prince Rong knew perfectly well what was going on, but he stubbornly insisted, "How could I doubt the grade of the spiritual root personally tested by Master Tianyuan?"
"I have lost, Viscount Fu, you have won, but I hope..."
“Prince Rong, if you want to plead for Manager Qi, I have no objection. But I’m afraid Manager Qi doesn’t want to live, does he?” Zheng Ya beckoned Liu Yan’er to step back, and Liu Yuan hurriedly came to her aid, protecting her behind him.
Prince Rong's secret guards were on high alert, poised to wreak havoc.
"Rustling, creaking," the crowd, having finished watching the spectacle, was met with a suffocating atmosphere, and they all fled in fright.
Manager Qi looked up at the sky with a sorrowful expression, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Your Highness, I cannot live on in this world and tarnish Your Highness's reputation..."
"Manager Qi, you've been framed..." Prince Rong tried to salvage the situation with emotional appeals, but Manager Qi felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He steeled himself, took a dagger from his storage bag, and plunged it into his heart, coughing up blood as he bid farewell: "Your Highness, take care, cough cough..."
"Manager Qi, I have failed your trust. Rest assured, I will definitely send people to thoroughly investigate the murderer and seek justice from those who drove you to your death. Rest in peace!" Prince Rong raised his hand and swore an oath, his righteousness awe-inspiring.
It seems that Manager Qi was truly framed and then forced to his death by Zheng Ya?
Zheng Ya scoffed: "Prince Rong, your acting skills have fooled the whole world. You are shameless to this extent, no one else can compare."
However, if someone is willing to die for you, and tries to deceive the world to serve you by lying, you're probably overthinking it.
After all, once I've removed your hypocritical mask, I won't let you wear it again. You and I both know this is just the beginning, isn't it?
"Hmph, I will let the facts speak for themselves. Let's go!" Prince Rong was furious, but outwardly remained calm and waved his hand to order the secret guards to retreat.
The members of the secret guards glared angrily at Zheng Ya, their killing intent palpable.
Zheng Ya ignored him and reached out for money: "Prince Rong, it seems you've forgotten something?"
"Hmph, ten thousand high-grade crystals, I can afford to lose. I'll send someone to deliver it to you. You'd better keep it safe, lest you burn your hands," Prince Rong said without turning his head, and sped away.
The bodyguards followed closely behind and left, much to the relief of the onlookers.
The temperature on Guiyuan Street seemed to have warmed up, rising by more than ten degrees in an instant, sparking heated discussions.
Master Tianyuan directly took out 10,000 crystals from his storage bag and said, "Viscount Fu, this old Daoist is willing to accept defeat. This is the betting money. Please accept it. Do you understand?"
“Master, everyone wants the high-grade spiritual root repair fluid, but our Qian Yuan Immortal Sect has a rule that we don’t sell the high-grade spiritual root repair fluid, but we can barter it.”
As for the terms of the exchange, we will notify you separately. Please go back now! Zheng Ya has a lot of high-level gene potions in his possession, but he won't sell them.
The key is to create a buzz and generate psionic income by leveraging the scarcity of a commodity.
Master Tianyuan bowed with a regretful expression and took his leave: "Young friend, farewell?"
"Farewell!" The other nine cultivators handed over their bets and then took their leave.
One by one, they displayed their magic and soared into the sky, giving the onlookers a spectacular show that they talked about with great interest.
Only Liu Yuan and his grandson looked bewildered on the field. Zheng Ya turned to them and said, "It's not easy for you two to come all this way, come with me."
"Lord Fu, thank you for saving my life. If there is any need, I will do my best." Liu Yuan said with a fist and a fist salute, suppressing his resentment. Liu Yan'er followed suit and clasped her fists, revealing a look of fearlessness in the face of death.
It seemed as if Zheng Ya was about to order the grandfather and grandson to carry out a death mission?
Zheng Ya said in surprise, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not the kind of person who would take advantage of someone's kindness."
I just realized that you two, grandfather and grandson, were being used as pawns.
My interests are involved, so I can't ignore this. I hope you and your grandchildren can understand..."
"Viscount Fu, please rest assured, I know how precious the spiritual medicine that helps my granddaughter advance to the next level of spiritual root is, and I will repay you with my life!" Liu Yuan said fearlessly.
Zheng Ya shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Why are you doing this..."
"Haha, the appearance of a spiritual medicine that can help someone advance a major realm is an audacity! Does Viscount Fu intend to use this medicine as a joke to mock this old man?" Liu Yuan said angrily. Taking advantage of a favor while pretending to be righteous—how utterly inhuman…
