Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen was a little surprised to hear they still needed to find someone of higher status.

But Jiang Chen didn’t really care. As long as he could sell his item, it was fine.

He needed the money to buy some other things.

"Suit yourselves."

He said just that and nothing more.

Lu Ming temporarily returned the porcelain bottle and the Elixir to Jiang Chen, excused himself, and hurriedly departed.

「On the top floor of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion, inside a magnificent and opulent room.」

Lu Ming stood respectfully before a beautiful woman who was both elegant and graceful, her entire being exuding an air of nobility.

The woman was dressed in a light blue gown.

Her beautiful face and striking figure all revealed her noble stature.

"Lu Ming, what is it?"

The woman’s red lips parted slightly, and her voice was as pleasant as a spring breeze.

Before this woman, Lu Ming clearly didn’t even dare to raise his head.

He said with the utmost respect, "Young Miss, it’s like this. I was just attending to a customer."

"He took out a Foundation Strengthening Pill and said he wanted to auction it here at our Treasure Elephant Pavilion."

Lu Ming stated simply, saying no more.

He knew that with just this one sentence, the Young Miss before him would surely understand the gravity of the matter.

A look of surprise appeared on the woman’s face.

"A Foundation Strengthening Pill? That kind of Second-Grade Elixir seems to be extremely rare these days."

"Even its Alchemy Formula seems to have been lost for a long time."

"Are you certain it’s a Foundation Strengthening Pill?"

The Foundation Strengthening Pill could increase the Cultivation of Martial Cultivators, including even Martial Artists.

Moreover, when the woman saw that Lu Ming had come to find her over a Foundation Strengthening Pill, she guessed that it was no ordinary one.

A normal Foundation Strengthening Pill was valuable, yes, but not valuable enough to cause such a stir in the Treasure Elephant Pavilion. That meant something was amiss.

Lu Ming nodded solemnly.

"Young Miss, you previously had me specialize in this area of knowledge. As it happens, I know a thing or two about the Foundation Strengthening Pill."

"That’s why I can say with certainty that it is a Foundation Strengthening Pill."

’I’m going to be greatly rewarded for this,’ he thought.

This was especially true for the Young Miss before him. Her identity was mysterious and unfathomable; even the people of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion weren’t too clear about it.

Her status was so lofty that even many of the higher-ups in the Treasure Elephant Pavilion treated her with great courtesy.

This Young Miss was now in control of most of the power in Hanwu City.

So young, yet with a mysterious identity and considerable ability.

Her Cultivation had already reached the terrifying Sixth Level of Martial Master.

With his own Cultivation at the Warrior Eighth Layer Heaven, he could only be deferential.

However, he didn’t pause, but continued, "Young Miss, a Foundation Strengthening Pill is indeed impressive, but if it were an ordinary one, we at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion wouldn’t think much of it."

"What I’m trying to say is, the Foundation Strengthening Pill that gentleman has is of Gold Quality—and a pure Gold Quality at that."

"Really?"

The Young Miss, who hadn’t been taking it too seriously, suddenly fixed her gaze on Lu Ming.

A powerful aura pressed down on Lu Ming.

Lu Ming could barely breathe.

A nervous, cold sweat broke out on his skin.

"Young Miss, I couldn’t be mistaken. I know how serious this is, which is why I came to report it to you."

Just then, the pressure on him vanished.

The Young Miss had retracted her aura.

She then said, "Good, Lu Ming. You’ve done well."

"Take me to meet this person."

Lu Ming immediately nodded in assent.

The two of them headed straight for the VIP room where Jiang Chen was waiting.

Meanwhile, the Young Miss was pondering inwardly.

’Someone who can produce a Golden Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill... This person’s identity must be extraordinary.’

’If he’s an Alchemist, he must be at least a Third-Grade Alchemist or higher.’

One had to know, the status of a First-Grade Alchemist was already formidable enough.

Second-Grade Alchemists were as rare as a phoenix feather, and it seemed one had never even appeared in Hanwu City.

As for Third-Grade Alchemists, they were pitifully few.

And anything above Third Grade was the stuff of legends.

"Young Miss, this way."

Lu Ming walked to the door of the VIP room where Jiang Chen was resting and gestured to the Young Miss.

Jiang Chen was waiting, perfectly at ease.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in the VIP room.

He glanced up, looking at the two who entered.

One of them, of course, he recognized as Lu Ming.

The other, however, he did not know.

It was a woman.

The moment she appeared, she instantly captured Jiang Chen’s gaze.

His heart gave an imperceptible, yet fierce, thump.

’What a noble woman.’

’Her beauty could stop time; she’s indescribably gorgeous.’

Seeing the woman, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.

This woman was truly a masterpiece of the mortal world.

Her entire being was filled with a noble temperament, and an ethereal aura seemed to surround her.

Beneath the light blue gown, her graceful figure could not be concealed.

At first glance, one might mistake her for a perfect work of art placed before them.

Her every move was captivating, a dazzling sight like a beautiful landscape.

But Jiang Chen quickly composed himself.

A beautiful woman was certainly captivating, but Jiang Chen wasn’t the type to have his mind so easily swayed.

He adjusted his state of mind almost instantly.

Murong Xiangming was secretly astonished.

’Such powerful composure.’

She knew that she was born with a Body of Immortal Affinity.

At all times, she exuded an aura that drew others to her.

This was true for both men and women. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Of course, her aura held an almost magical charm for the opposite sex.

No man who had ever seen her could resist being captivated by her aura.

But just now, she had noticed that after his eyes lit up for an instant, seemingly stunned by her beauty... she was shocked to find that the young man’s expression had already returned to normal, as if he was barely affected by her aura at all.

This was the first time she had ever encountered such a situation.

Naturally, she couldn’t help but be amazed.

This made Murong Xiangming find him all the more formidable.

The young man before her was extremely young, yet possessed such terrifying mental fortitude.

She understood in an instant: this person was no ordinary man.

"Young Miss, this is the guest I was telling you about—Hanwu City’s famous Young Master of the Jiang Family, Jiang Chen."

Lu Ming spoke up at the opportune moment, introducing Jiang Chen to Murong Xiangming.

Murong Xiangming was taken aback.

’The Jiang Family’s Young Master, Jiang Chen.’

She had indeed heard the name, but the Jiang Chen she knew was a good-for-nothing young rake, a piece of trash whose Martial Vein had even been stolen from him.

But the Jiang Chen before her was utterly strange.

He exuded an air of mystery that moved even someone as experienced and worldly as herself.

She didn’t dwell on Jiang Chen’s past.

She said to Lu Ming, "You may go. I’ll take care of things here."

After Lu Ming withdrew, she graced Jiang Chen with a smile, her lips parting slightly.

"Young Master Jiang Chen, I’ve heard so much about you."

That smile was simply breathtaking.

It was like the caress of a spring breeze in April, bringing an instant of warmth. Between heaven and earth, all things seemed to shine, and the mountain flowers bloomed in wild abandon.
