419. Won Back The Elixir (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
The patriarch of Tong family said, “By rights, if you want to take back your ancestral Nine-yang Soul-returning elixir, I should compete you with it. But that year, I used the Taishi Jinyuan elixir to win you. So if you want to wine your Nine-yang Soul-returning elixir back, you have to beat my Taishi Jinyuan elixir.”
As everyone heard the Taishi Jinyuan elixir, they had uproar, couldn’t press down the exciting feeling in the heart. Compared with the Nine-yang Soul-returning elixir, they liked the Taishi Jinyuan elixir more. After all, there were quite a few kinds of elixirs that could bring one back to life, which had gradually replaced the Nine-yang Soul-returning elixir. But no other elixir can replace the Taishi Jinyuan elixir to increase their chance to ascend.
Seeing that everyone was so drooling of his Taishi Jinyuan elixir, the patriarch of Tong family had his smile wilder. He took out of the elixir out of his storage ring for everyone to appreciate, “This is the elixir Elder Danhong of our Tong family refined. If anyone wants it, you can go to him. But you know, the price is a bit high.”
Although he said a bit high, everyone knew very clearly that only one could cost all their belongings.
Elder Danhong stroked his long beard proudly.
The patriarch looked over at Old Lord Min, “Patriarch Min, to tell you the truth, that elixir I used to beat you has already been bestowed to an elder in our family who is about to ascend. Now he is cultivating in seclusion, so he didn’t come attending the meeting. And the one in my hand is refined by Elder Danhong, even better than that one. Are you sure you’d compete with me?”
Looking at the elixir with dense spiritual qi in his hand, Old Lords Min narrowed his eyes.
Others whispered to discuss, “If there are level ten elixirs in the cultivation world, the one in the patriarch’s hand should be over level ten! I guess Old Lord Min will lose for sure.”
“I remember that since Old Lord Min started to refine elixirs, he only had five hot elixirs, while his daughter Old Lady Yin even had more popular ones than him. Besides, it seems that the quality of his popular ones is no better than their ancestral Nine-yang Soul-returning elixir. It’s no strange he’d lose.”
“For the past one hundred years, we have not heard that Old Lord Min has refined any hot elixirs. And he still hasn’t ascended since his lifespan is about to end. He’d definitely lose.”
If Old Lord Min heard this in the last centennial meeting, he’d get super mad. But now, he had already learnt to see everything lightly. Fame and fortune were no longer than important. The only thing he wanted now was that Nine-yang Soul-returning elixir passing down from the ancestors. Even it had been outdated by a lot of hot elixirs, that was their ancestors’ thing. He didn’t want to feel guilty for the ancestors after he died.
“Of course!” Old Lord Min calmly took out his elixir out of his storage ring, and the dense spiritual qi instantly overwhelmed that of the Patriarch Tong’s.
Patriarch Tong’s face instantly changed.
The proud face of Elder Danhong was also gone.
The others looked at him with surprise, “What elixir is in the hand of Old Lord Min? The spiritual qi is so dense!”
“If there are ten levels of elixirs, his should be a divine one over level ten.”
Everyone looked at Old Lord Min’s hand now.
Old Lord Min spread his hand and a golden elixir appeared before the eyes of the crowd. “This is the Jiubao Xunsheng elixir. When overpowering your doom, if you can’t hold it, you can take one, then you’d regain your power as soon as possible before the never doom thunder hits you.”
It was true that he had refined it himself, but Rong Yi had given him the prescription and told him the steps.
Originally he did not accept Rong Yi’s prescription and the steps, because it would make him feel that he didn’t reply on his own ability to win back the elixir, so he’d feel disgraced even if he could win it back.
But Rong Yi persuaded him that he had learned all the prescriptions and methods from the ancestors or other alchemists. Why feel disgraced using his?
Everyone’s eyes lit up and they praised, “Good elixir! Top quality! I dare say no elixir is no better than it now. When I am in half way of my doom overpowering, if I can’t hang in there, I can take one, I’ll definitely go through the nine doom thunders!”
In fact, what they wanted to say was that the Jiubao Xunsheng elixir is even better than the Taishi Jinyuan elixir in Patriarch Tong’s hand.
When Old Lord Min heard people’s praising, he felt kind of thrilled in the heart. Then he said to Patriarch Tong, “Patriarch Tong, do you still think your elixir is better than mine?”
Patriarch Tong narrowed his eyes, “your elixir seems to be permeated with other herbs, not all of them are level nine divine herbs.”
Old Lord Min smiled and said, “Elder Danhong is worthy of your big name. It’s true. I also used level seven and eight elite herbs.”
People exclaimed, all didn’t believe that he could refine the elixir even better than a level nine divine one using level seven and eight elite herbs.
Elder Danhong said angrily, “Only by the herbs, you could never win us.”
