234 Robbing the Royal Family
Chapter 234
Wu Liyan patted his shoulder sympathetically: "Who told you to get a mid-grade soul stone? Believe it or not, mid-grade soul stones are very rare in the royal family."
Feng Ming was unhappy on the surface, but he was proud in his heart. If the royal family knew that he had a higher quality soul stone, I wonder how angry they would be.
Well, he was still a little unhappy.
***
The Ninth Elder really wanted to get away with it. He didn't bring so many sixth-grade spiritual herbs with him. After all, he was only a Yuandan realm, not a Kaihun realm expert.
He thought that he had given enough face to Sihong Academy and Yu Xiao by going on this trip in person, and the royal family also gave him a generous gift.
Who would have thought that Yu Xiao would not only not give face to the royal family, but also compete in public for the Ninghun Pill.
The Ninth Elder was anxious. Could it be that he couldn't take even one Soul Condensing Pill with him?
He had Soul Stones on him, low-grade Soul Stones, but he didn't dare to trade them privately.
As an elder, he had no right to violate the royal family's rules. The royal family strictly controlled the outflow of Soul Stones.
The Ninth Elder was anxious: "Master Yu, I can sign a contract and send someone to replenish these resources as soon as I return to the imperial city."
The other cultivators glared at him angrily.
Yu Xiao shook his head and said, "If I open this precedent to the Ninth Elder, other fellow practitioners will also make the same request. Should I agree or not?"
"Yes, Master Yu is right. Ninth Elder, please don't embarrass Master Yu anymore."
For the cultivators and forces who are qualified to bid for the Soul Condensing Pill, they don't want to be in a situation of cheating. That means the price will be raised higher and higher, which is very disadvantageous to them. Only on-site transactions are the best for them.
The Ninth Elder was extremely annoyed, but this way was blocked, so he could only think of other ways.
He searched for people everywhere, and the last way he thought of was to borrow the sixth-grade spiritual herbs and other resources from other cultivators.
He didn't believe that other forces and cultivators were as stubborn as Yu Xiao, who could always gather resources to snatch a Soul Condensing Pill.
All of a sudden, the cultivators targeted by the Ninth Elder were very worried and wanted to disappear immediately, but they could only watch the Ninth Elder walk towards them.
Finally, the Ninth Elder borrowed spiritual herbs from the three forces, and added his own, making a total of ten sixth-grade spiritual herbs, and placed them in front of Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao was very satisfied. He didn't care where the Ninth Elder got them from. If the lender was willing to lend them, it was the lender's own will, and it had nothing to do with him.
Yu Xiao looked up and looked around: "Is there anyone who offers a higher price than the Ninth Elder? If not, the first Soul Condensing Pill belongs to the Ninth Elder."
The other cultivators secretly hated the Ninth Elder's cunningness. He had just used his power to force other forces to lend the sixth-grade spiritual herbs.
Many people knew that if the Ninth Elder was not allowed to get a Soul Condensing Pill, he would continue to borrow the sixth-grade spiritual herbs and other resources.
Therefore, they had to give up this one with great pain and pin their hopes on the next one, which would also be the last one.
However, no one suspected that Yu Xiao was hiding something. After all, he only got one Soul Condensing Grass and opened only one furnace of pills.
To be honest, Yu Xiao succeeded in one furnace and produced three pills. In their opinion, this result was very amazing. It was impossible for him to have any more pills left. After all, Yu Xiao had not yet advanced to the next level.
Some people knew that they could not snatch it, and they thought in their hearts whether they should take the risk to go to the Soul Burial Abyss. If they could find another Soul Condensing Grass, they could ask Yu Xiao to help them refine it. The chance of success would be much greater.
Seeing that no one raised the price, the Ninth Elder was proud. Dare to snatch it from him? Wait for him to settle the score later.
Yu Xiao did not have any good feelings for the Ninth Elder, but he would not make things difficult for the sixth-grade spiritual herb.
So he took out a jade bottle and pushed it to the Ninth Elder with his Yuanli: "Ninth Elder, this Soul Condensing Pill is yours, please accept it." The
Ninth Elder opened a bottle and took a look. He could tell at a glance that it was indeed a Soul Condensing Pill.
The slight smell of the medicine alone made his soul sea react. The effect of the Soul Condensing Pill was indeed very good.
The Ninth Elder was satisfied: "Not bad, a low-grade Soul Condensing Pill. Master Yu's medicine refining skills are really superb."
Yu Xiao took out another jade bottle and placed it on the table in front of him: "The second and last Soul Condensing Pill."
As soon as Yu Xiao's voice fell, someone rushed to grab it: "Seven sixth-grade spiritual herbs, plus twenty fifth-grade spiritual herbs."
At this time, the competition became more intense. If you miss this one, there will be no next one.
Although some people pin their hopes on the Soul Condensing Grass, who knows if they can really find it? The Soul Condensing Pill is more practical.
Feng Ming held his chin and watched, saying, "This Ninth Elder is really good at bullying others. I felt very upset when I saw the three parties who borrowed the spiritual grass from him."
Qiu Yi was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. After all, he had a close relationship with the royal family. In the eyes of many people, he and the royal family were one.
Feng Ming added, "But I think he provided a very good idea, and some forces have taken action."
Wu Liyan also saw it: "They want to work together to bid for the Soul Condensing Pill first, but how to distribute it after bidding?"
Feng Ming said proudly: "That has nothing to do with my master, my master only collects spiritual herbs."
Qiu Yi envied and whispered, "Sixth-grade pharmacists are amazing."
Yu Xiao's ability to refine the Soul Condensing Pill meant that his pharmacy skills had entered the sixth-grade ranks.
Sure enough, several parties joined forces to bid, and the prices they called out became higher and higher.
In the end, three wealthy families joined forces to use fifteen sixth-grade spiritual herbs to snatch the last Soul Condensing Pill.
The cultivators who did not participate in the bidding gasped as they watched from below.
Normally, a sixth-grade spiritual herb would cause a sensation, but now fifteen sixth-grade spiritual herbs were offered.
The big winner was of course Master Yu Xiao himself. He got twenty-five sixth-grade spiritual herbs in a short period of time. How much would that be if converted into Yuanjing? Most of the time, it would be impossible to buy it even with a sky-high price of Yuanjing.
Feng Ming was also happy for his master. Looking at the expressions of all parties, he doubted whether the ninth elder of the royal family, including the ninth elder, would be able to return smoothly with the Soul Condensing Pill after leaving Lanshui City. The journey would definitely not be peaceful.
Who said that no one dared to deal with the ninth elder of the royal family? Some peak Yuandan cultivators have lived long enough. If they don't break through, they will die.
This kind of cultivator is the craziest and has no scruples. After robbing the Ninth Elder, he hid in the territories of other forces. Even if the royal family sent out powerful cultivators in the Soul-Opening Realm, they might not be able to find him.
Of course, if the Ninth Elder asks the Royal Family's Soul-Opening Realm Supreme Elder to come and protect him, there will be no problem.
Feng Ming asked Wu Liyan in a low voice curiously: "Will the Royal Family have a Supreme Elder to escort the Ninth Elder back to the Imperial City?"
Wu Liyan didn't know whether to continue chatting with Feng Ming. This topic was too dangerous. Didn't you see that the poor child Qiu Yi was stunned? Dare someone rob the royal family?
Wu Liyan certainly knew that someone would risk their lives. She also whispered back: "You ask me, who should I ask."
Feng Ming was curious: "Then will you go back with the Ninth Elder?"
Wu Liyan vomited blood. If she went back with the Ninth Elder, it meant that they would also be in danger.
But if she wanted to fight, the Ninth Elder would see it.
Feng Ming looked at her sympathetically and said to Qiu Yi, "Qiu Yi, you stay. I will ask my master if I can bring you to listen when he teaches me the art of refining medicine."
Qiu Yi immediately became happy and responded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, after the celebration is over, I will tell the Ninth Elder that I stayed to ask Master Yu about the art of refining medicine."
Wu Liyan: She is the only one who has a miserable life. Fortunately, she has Zong Yupao to accompany her.
***
The grand celebration finally ended. Although something went wrong during the process, turning the celebration into an auction, everything still made the cultivators talk about it with relish and could be talked about for a long time.
After the celebration, the cultivators who had gathered in Lanshui City began to return one after another. Of course, some people continued to stay. Some wanted to ask Yu Xiao for advice, and some wanted Yu Xiao to help them make medicine.
The news that two Soul Condensing Pills were sold at the celebration spread quickly in all directions, and the forces of the entire Dongmu Dynasty finally knew how Yu Xiao was promoted.
However, when many forces knew about it, it was too late, and they could not wait for them to bring more resources to bid for it.
The news that there was a sixth-grade Soul Condensing Grass in the Soul Burial Abyss also spread along with the news.
It can be imagined that in the next period of time, the Soul Burial Abyss will welcome many cultivators who will venture into it, and it is unknown how many cultivators' souls will be buried there.
Yu Xiao knew this result would happen, but what does it have to do with him?
Was it his fault that these cultivators would die? No, it was just their own greed.
He was not the first one to say that there was Soul Condensing Grass in the Soul Burial Abyss, but no cultivator had successfully brought it out before, and he was just the "first person".
Feng Songhai took the Feng family back very disappointed.
Gong Yuming also sent the Gong family away. Look, he didn't even need to test them, Master Yu Xiao himself told the reason for the promotion.
It's a pity that the Gong family didn't bring enough sixth-grade resources, so they had no chance of getting the Soul Condensing Pill. Elder Gong was even more disappointed than Feng Songhai, because Elder Gong was at the peak of the Yuandan realm.
Gong Yuming also comforted his clansmen: "Sometimes it's a good thing not to rob. For those who rob, the journey back may not be peaceful."
The Great Elder Gong looked at him and shook his head. In fact, he was ready to rob, but when he thought about the two who had robbed the Soul Condensing Pill, he gave up the plan.
But his giving up didn't mean that others would do the same.
"Forget it, you can't force it. Go back. Go back to Gaoyang County when you have time."
"Okay, you guys should be careful on the way."
Gong Yuming's words were soon fulfilled. Some people just couldn't wait. Half a day after the celebration ended, there was news that the flying boat that the Ninth Elder was riding was attacked by unknown people. When
the news was passed back to Lanshui City, the whole city was shocked, and the Sihong Academy was also shocked.
Feng Ming glared and said to Qiu Yi who stayed behind: "Someone actually dared to rob the royal family."
He just said that before, but he didn't think someone would really dare to do it.
But thinking about it, it doesn't seem strange, because the other pill was bought by three noble families together, so it must be that the three noble families also escorted the Soul Condensing Pill back together.
Unless they make trouble on the way, this team is still very strong.
But Feng Ming thought of another thing. It would be very difficult for others to rob, but what if a strong person in the Soul Opening Realm robs?
It's really a troubled time.
