Volume 1: The Mysterious Life of a Genius Doctor with a Hidden Edge 016 A Mysterious Past that Invites Deadly Peril
"I obtained a Nine-Turn Great Strength Pill from Tianyi by chance." Su Zhen Nan glanced at Di Shang Mo and said, "Shang Mo, if you take this pill, even if Mu Chenfeng arrives, you can easily win."
Di Shang shook his head and said, "No, I want to win, but I also want to win with dignity. Using elixirs to boost my strength to defeat him is not a victory that I can be proud of, it's not my style."
"Zhen Nan, you little scoundrel! You actually have the Nine Turns Great Strength Pill of Tianyi without saying a word. How meaningful indeed! Quickly confess honestly, how much money did you spend to get that Nine Turns Great Strength Pill?" Liu Shaobai raised an eyebrow and stared at him.
The elixir of the Heavenly Doctor is extremely rare in the Dragon Continent, and it's precisely because of its rarity that even a single pill can be auctioned off for a sky-high price. The Nine-Turn Great Strength Pill is an especially precious treasure that enhances one's power. And yet this young master has quietly stashed away a single pill without making a sound - truly, the influence of the Su family should not be underestimated.
"Alright, even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to get it. This Nine-Turn Great Strength Pill doesn't even exist in the imperial palace, so stop shouting about it here." He cut off the topic, not wanting to keep talking about this Nine-Turn Great Strength Pill. After all, if people found out he had a precious pill from the Heavenly Doctor, it would inevitably attract envy and robbery from those with ill intentions.
Di Shang looked at a few people and saw that it was almost noon, so he said: "It's not early anymore, why don't we go to the Lion Building for lunch?"
He knew that the Lion Building in the Imperial City was a famous scenic spot, and its decoration style was different from that of ordinary restaurants. The entrance of the restaurant had two green pine trees, and the prices inside were high and low. The first floor hall was popular with the public, the second floor private room was elegant and comfortable, each private room had fresh flowers, and the atmosphere was elegant and quiet.
As soon as he heard that they were going to have dinner at the Lion's Building, Liu Shaobai's eyes lit up, and with a greedy expression, he said: "I've heard that the braised lion head at the Lion's Building is a heavenly delicacy, once you've had it, you'll never forget it. It's rare to come to the Imperial City, we must give it a try."
Su Ruoshui saw the situation, covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "If you want to go to Lion's Building, you have to hurry up. You don't know that Lion's Building only allows the first fifty people to taste this braised lion's head every day. If you're late, you'll have to wait until tomorrow."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go now." Su Zhen Nan said, and then went with them to the Lion Building.
At the same time, in a dense forest with no one around, three strong warriors of the Wu Sect were looking around nervously and expectantly, as if waiting for someone. At this moment, a man wearing a gray robe came riding on his sword, his wide gray robe fluttering in the wind, his feet stepping on a huge black sword, with a sword sheath on his back, emitting an overwhelming and intimidating aura that made the three Wu Sect warriors kneel down involuntarily before him.
That was a kind of pressure that belonged to the cultivator, intangible but powerful, making people feel submissive, and even though they were three strong men at the level of martial arts, they couldn't resist this pressure at all. It was precisely because they felt it that they knew more clearly than ever that the difference between warriors and immortal cultivators was so great.
A man in a grey cloak stood on the black sword with his hands behind his back, under the mask, a pair of sharp and fierce black pupils looked down at the three people kneeling on the grass, and the invisible strong pressure emanating from him was extremely oppressive. This is the kind of deterrent power that warriors who cultivate martial arts do not have. In the mouths of the people of the Dragon Continent, they call this person who can fly with a sword - a cultivator.
"I await your esteemed presence."
As they felt that overwhelming pressure gradually disappear, the three of them bowed respectfully and cautiously.
The man in grey robes gazed down at the three of them with a stern expression, his low voice carrying an air of superiority and authority as he asked in a deep tone, "Have you found the person I told you to look for?"
"According to what Xianren said, I've already found her, she's Tang Xiang's daughter, Tang Xin."
Upon hearing this, the man in gray raised an eyebrow: "Huh?"
Three people trembled, and hastily explained: "She is not the biological daughter of Tang Shang, but was adopted by Tang Shang ten years ago. According to the information provided by the immortal, they searched for her and finally found her after repeated confirmation. That Tang Xiang's precious daughter, Tang Xin, is indeed the person the immortal wants."
"Are you certain?" The man in gray clothes glared at them with a sharp gaze that flashed with an inexplicable gloom.
"Yes, it can be certain that a small number of people will definitely not be wrong."
"This fairy wants her dead on this Dragon Ascending Continent! You know what to do!" The voice was filled with cruelty and bloodlust, making one's hair stand on end.
Upon hearing this, the three of them were taken aback, but as soon as they felt that fierce and chilly gaze fall upon them, they suddenly snapped back to their senses and hastily replied: "Yes! We will definitely handle this matter cleanly and efficiently!"
"Hmm." The man in grey nodded satisfactorily, flipped his palm and tossed a bottle to them: "There's a Congealing Spirit Pill inside. After taking it, you can condense your spiritual energy and cultivate into immortals."
"Thank you, immortal! Thank you, immortal!"
The three of them were overjoyed, took the bottle and bowed their heads in gratitude. Thinking that they could cultivate into immortals, they became even more determined to accomplish the tasks assigned by the immortal. Only then could they, with the immortal's help, embark on the path of cultivating immortality!
Mansion, Backyard
Tang Zihao, wearing a brocade robe and with a stout figure, hastily walked towards the backyard, shouting: "Sister, sister! You said you'd accompany me to Lion's Building to eat braised lion's head today. Hurry up, or we'll be late!"
"Master, slow down, Miss hasn't forgotten, she's already ready to go out with you." Xia Xue, dressed in white, walked up with a light smile. The two sisters had spent five years cultivating their skills and five years ago, they came to Tang Xin's side and became her personal maids.
Tang Zihao saw her and was very happy. He looked around the courtyard and asked, "Xiaoxue, where is my sister?"
"She's here." Táng Xīn wore a cyan dress, her simple makeup was very elegant, and with her stunning looks, it made people take a second glance.
"Sister, hehe, how come you're getting prettier every day? Are you secretly eating something delicious? Otherwise, I'm still this chubby self, how did you become so beautiful?"
Xia Xue and Xue Yu, the two sisters, heard this and looked at his plump body, covering their mouths to laugh: "Young master, if you didn't eat so much meat, you would definitely be as handsome and charming as Master Xiang."
"Haha, that's right, my parents are so good-looking, I'm their son, how can I be bad? He looked up with a smug expression, patted his round belly and laughed: "If I could lose weight, I'd definitely be a handsome guy who can charm thousands of girls."
"Hmph!"
The two of them couldn't help but burst out laughing, Xia Yu laughed and said: "You're still thinking about going to eat braised lion's head? Can you lose weight? Young master, give up already! It's not bad if you don't get any fatter!"
