Chapter 316: Chapter 312: Spiritual Origin Pill (Seeking Monthly Ticket and Subscription)

“Second Uncle, you’re overstating it. This time we’re here to discuss a business deal.”

Shen Cang still wore a smile on his face, his state of mind seemingly untouched by any ripple.

“Yes, yes, please have a seat, Young Master Shen!!”

“I wonder how many Spiritual Origin Pills you can provide our Mu Family this time.”

“Price is not an issue. We will take however many you have.”

Third Uncle Mu Shui of the Mu Family hurriedly inquired, his tone full of undisguised eagerness.

At this moment, Mu Yang’s interest was piqued as well. He had only heard that the Mu Family was currently conducting a major deal with Shen Cang’s Cangtian Group, a deal so substantial that it might shake their very foundation.

One must know that the Mu Family had a legacy of over a hundred years in the Capital City. Their foundation was incomparably solid, yet this deal was significant enough to shake the entire foundation of the Mu Family. How could he not be curious?

Shen Cang glanced slightly at Mu Yang, noting his thoughtful expression. He revealed a proud smile, then removed his gloves and took out a bottle from the inner pocket of his suit.

Inside the bottle seemed to be a few white pills the size of pebbles. Even the lid couldn’t contain their fragrance. Taking a deep breath, Mu Shui felt his whole body relax.

“Is this the Spiritual Origin Pill??”

“It truly is a divine elixir, what a treasure!!”

Mu Shui’s hands trembled as he fixed his eyes on the bottle of pills, wishing he could snatch it over immediately.

“What!!”

“This… This is a Spiritual Medicine. How does your Shen Family have such a thing!!”

Mu Yang stood up abruptly, slamming the sofa as he spoke loudly.

As a practitioner of Martial Arts, he understood the value of the bottle of pills before him even more clearly. No wonder the Long Family backed out of the marriage alliance. If it were him, he might have done the same.

Spiritual Medicine requires identifying the necessary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, combined with a Dan Formula to possibly create it. What’s even more difficult is that in this era of scarce spiritual energy, alchemists are rarer than pandas.

Mu Yang knew there were a few alchemists in the Spirit World who occasionally leaked some lower-grade elixirs to the Mortal World for sale. Yet even those lower-grade ones had their prices inflated to an astronomical level.

In the Mortal World, the only way to obtain a Spirit Pill was to join the Divine Martial Pavilion and achieve outstanding results, which would grant one a Spiritual Medicine.

Mo Yanjin, who got first place on the Earth List, because of his talent and combat power, was gifted an elixir by the Divine Martial Pavilion, which is still cherished in the Mo Family and worshiped as an ancestor, making all the super families in the Capital City envious.

Of course, it was relatively easy for the Mo Family to buy lower-grade Spirit Pills. The key was that the Divine Martial Pavilion bestowed Mo Yanjin with a top-grade elixir, which is why it is worshiped—a matter of honor.

As a Dark Rank Martial Artist, Mu Yang could tell from his sensing that this bottle of Spirit Pills was of significantly higher quality than lower-grade elixirs, yet still lower than top-grade ones. He wouldn’t dare imagine they were top-grade.

This is a whole bottle!! If they were all top-grade, selling the entire Mu Family wouldn’t be enough!!

“This is a new product from our Cangtian Group, exclusively provided to Martial Arts Families—the Spiritual Origin Pill!!”

“Its effect is to enhance the cultivation of any Yellow-grade Martial Artist by one rank, with a fifty percent chance of improving a Dark-grade Fifth Stage Martial Artist’s cultivation.”

“Furthermore, it has a twenty percent chance of helping Dark-grade Martial Artists break through to Earth-level cultivation. How about it??”

Shen Cang spoke slowly, as Mu Shui’s mouth widened more and more, almost able to swallow three eggs.

This effect was heaven-defying. An Earth-level strong person roughly equated to the supreme strong in the great families of the Capital City, with a twenty percent chance of breakthrough for Dark-grade Martial Artists.

It was terrifying. If this Spiritual Origin Pill were to come out, it would definitely drive countless martial artists crazy.

Mu Yang thought of this first. The alliance with the Long Family would only provide some protection at most, but in critical moments, the Long Family certainly wouldn’t sacrifice their interests to help the Mu Family.

But this Spiritual Origin Pill could indeed enhance the overall strength of the Mu Family. From any angle, this deal was only profit and no loss, and immense profit at that.

From Shen Cang’s tone, it was apparent that there was a high-level alchemist behind Cangtian Group. Holding onto such a powerful ally would be sheer folly for the Mu Family not to seize tightly.

“Alas, this time even I, Second Uncle, might not withstand the pressure from the family!!”

“Behind the Shen Family is actually an alchemist, how extraordinary.”

“Even the ancestor of the Long Family would treat an alchemist with utmost respect!!”

Mu Yang thought bitterly. It wasn’t pessimism; it was reality.

An alchemist, regardless of low cultivation, with good alchemy skills, could gain the support of countless powerful individuals. It was a profession that stood above all but one.

“Young Master Shen… what are the conditions of your Cangtian Group!!”

“Our Mu Family can pay any price.”

Mu Shui fixed his eyes on the bottle of Spiritual Origin Pills and spoke with a tremble in his voice.

“No rush. We can discuss this matter in detail.”

“Our Cangtian Group developed this elixir to benefit the whole Martial Arts World.”

“And since your Mu Family is so close to our Shen Family, we will, of course, prioritize you!”

“Isn’t that right!!”

Shen Cang lifted a teacup from the table, took a sip, and said to Mu Yang, emphasizing the word “close.”

“Of course, our Mu Family and the Shen Family are as close as flesh and blood brothers!”

“How can we distinguish between each other?”

“Let’s toast Young Master Shen with tea instead of wine!!”

Mu Shui heard Shen Cang’s words and grinned broadly. He grabbed a teacup, ready to toast.

However, Mu Yang and Mu Yunxi remained unmoved, and Shen Cang also placed his teacup down with narrowed eyes, leaving Mu Shui holding his cup alone.

Mu Shui pondered for a moment, glancing at Mu Yunxi, his eyes increasingly bright, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

“Yunxi, how can you keep your head down when we have guests? Hurry and chat with Young Master Shen.”

“Young people should communicate more.”

“Pick up your teacup, let’s toast Young Master Shen together.”

Mu Shui urged Mu Yunxi, using an unmistakable tone.

Mu Yunxi’s thoughts were pulled back by Mu Shui instantly. When she lifted her head, her alluring face was fully revealed to Shen Cang’s gaze.

“Hurry up, stop dawdling!!”

“Mu Yang, you too, pick up your teacup.”

“This concerns the entire Mu Family’s major issues. Don’t you understand the situation!”

Mu Shui stood up, stuffing the freshly brewed tea into Mu Yunxi’s hands, then said to Mu Yang smugly.

The tea had just been brewed with boiling water. When Mu Shui shoved it into Mu Yunxi’s hands, her delicate fingers were immediately scalded, turning red.

“Ah!!”

“Crash~~~~”

Mu Yunxi retracted her hand quickly, and the teacup crashed to the ground, shattering into sharp pieces.

“What are you doing!!!”

“Such a grown-up, and you can’t even hold a teacup properly, really.”

“Young Master Shen, please excuse her, Yunxi is just like this, very clumsy.”
