Xin Hai had already regained his senses. He looked at the pill in Hai Qiji's hand and asked, "Brother Li Tian, are you sure it's an ancient pill?"
Li Tian was the great demon cultivator protector of the 80 Mile City. He had a serious expression, as if he wasn't completely sure.
"A long time ago, I came across an ancient abode by chance and obtained a shocking fortuitous encounter there. It was precisely because of this that I was able to obtain my current accomplishments … Moreover, the medicinal pill in Hai Qiji's hand emitted an aura similar to that of the ancient ruins. I'm guessing that it's most likely an ancient medicinal pill."
Li Tian's words were very persuasive. At his level, there was no way his senses would be wrong.
The ghost cultivator protector suddenly shot out a black mist that shrouded the sky.
When the black mist formed, the cultivators on the square realized they couldn't use their spirit sense to scan it. The crowd was in an uproar. It was as if the ancient pill had disappeared.
"Yin Fei, what are you doing?" Xin Hai asked coldly.
Yin Fei's voice sounded like two pieces of metal rubbing against each other. Other than the three protectors in the black mist, no one else could hear him. "This is an ancient pill, and it's a Spirit Surge Pill. Rumor has it that the Spirit Surge Pill appeared in the North Sand Continent two years ago. I didn't expect it to be true."
Xin Hai and the other two were shocked. This was a bottle of Spirit Surge Pill?
Although they hadn't seen the Spirit Surge Pill before, they knew what it was.
Rumor had it that the Spirit Surge Pill was a level 4 or level 6 golden pill, but its effects were amazing. It could allow cultivators without spirit roots to have any spirit roots. However, the recipe of the Spirit Surge Pill had been lost for a long time. It hadn't even appeared in the East Field Continent. Now, it was right in front of the four of them.
"This pill is a level 4 or level 6 golden pill. Could it really be a Spirit Surge Pill?" Hai Qiji's voice was trembling. As a cauldron filling state cultivator, he rarely showed such a shocked expression.
Although Hai Qiji's tone was questioning, he didn't need an answer. He was certain that the pill in his hand was the Spirit Surge Pill. Xin Hai and the other two also realized this shocking fact and had their own thoughts.
"Since everyone has discovered that this is a Spirit Surge Pill, then there's no need for us to hide it. The reason why I released the Black Fog Poison Field was to shield everyone's Divine Sense. After that, we'll split this bottle of Spirit Surge Pills evenly with our three senior and junior brothers …" Yin Fei expressed his stance.
Hai Qiji immediately nodded and poured out all the Spirit Surge Pills in the jade bottle, intending to split them evenly.
Xin Hai was jolted back to his senses, and he immediately stopped him. "This is an item that the Starkun Weapon Workshop put up for auction, and it has already been won by that independent cultivator. How can we split it? Isn't that breaking the rules of the eighty mile city? "
"Brother Xinhai, this is a bottle of Spirit Surge Pills." Yin Fei retorted, "Don't talk to me about the rules of the eighty mile city. The rules here were set by the four of us, so it's up to the four of us to decide what to do. For the past several hundred years, the four of us have been maintaining the peace and stability of the eighty mile city. Now that we have a bottle of Spirit Surge Pills as a reward, what's wrong with that?"
Hai Qiji also chimed in, "I agree with Brother Yin Fei's suggestion. We have worked hard to maintain the eighty mile city for several hundred years, so what's wrong with getting a bottle of Spirit Surge Pills? Besides, other than the four of us, no one else knows that this is a Spirit Surge Pill. Later, we can just return that independent cultivator's bid price to him and give the Starkun Weapon Workshop a bottle of Energy Transformation Pills, and this matter will be resolved … "
Xin Hai's expression was cold. He couldn't commit such a fraud.
Li Tian, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke, "I agree with Xin Hai's suggestion. Our eighty mile city has been impartial for several hundred years. Now that our reputation has been ruined because of a bottle of Spirit Surge Pills, it's not worth it."
Yin Fei and Hai Qiji's expressions darkened, and they didn't continue to split the Spirit Surge Pills equally. Now that both sides had different opinions, the situation was in a stalemate.
At this moment, the cultivators on the square were already in an uproar. They tried to use their divine senses to sweep into the black mist again and again, but they couldn't find anything. Some people started to shout the names of the four protectors, seeking an explanation, but no one answered them.
Qin Fen also tried to use his divine sense to sweep into the black mist, but after his first failure, he didn't try a second time.
When his divine sense touched the edge of the black mist, Qin Fen immediately understood what it was. It was extremely similar to the field that Senior Xin Hai had used when he visited the Autumn Leaf Pavilion three days ago.
Qin Fen had seen Xin Hai's field before, so he was sure that it wasn't Xin Hai who had used this field. The black mist carried a familiar ghost cultivator aura, so Qin Fen guessed that it was the ghost cultivator who had used it.
Since he had used the field, Qin Fen immediately understood the ghost cultivator's intention. That ghost cultivator had probably recognized the Spirit Surge Pill and wanted to keep it for himself or share it with the other three protectors.
However, even though he had guessed the ghost cultivator's intention, there was nothing he could do. After seeing the field, Qin Fen realized how powerful it was. It was an upgrade of the realm, and with his current cultivation, he couldn't break it at all …
Boom!
At this moment, a muffled sound came from the sky.
The black mist quickly dissipated, and the clear blue sky once again appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The four protectors of the Eighty Mile City hovered in the air above their heads. Everyone immediately looked at Hai Qiji's hand. When they saw that the ancient pill was still there, they relaxed.
"Four protectors, what happened just now?" Someone asked.
Hai Qiji and Yin Fei's faces were cold, as if they had encountered something very unpleasant. Li Tian stood in the air with an indifferent expression and didn't speak. In the end, it was Xin Hai who spoke, "I'm sorry, everyone. Just now, we four protectors were studying that bottle of ancient pill. In the end, we came to the same conclusion. That bottle is indeed an ancient pill, and it's the long-lost Spirit Surge Pill."
The crowd was instantly excited!
"Spirit Surge Pill? What kind of pill is that? "
"I remember now. Two years ago, there was a rumor in the North Sand Continent that the Spirit Surge Pill had appeared. I thought it was just a gimmick from the North Sand Continent, but it seems like it's true."
"The Spirit Surge Pill is a miraculous pill that can help cultivators without Spiritual Roots grow any Spiritual Root they want … I can't believe we can still see such a miraculous pill in the Divine World today?"
When someone mentioned the effects of the Spirit Surge Pill, the entire square was in an uproar.
The Xingkun Faction's disciples were dumbfounded. Xu Wumian's eyes were filled with shock. This bottle of Spirit Surge Pill was auctioned under their Xingkun Weapon Workshop's name. It was supposed to be a bottle of Transforming Energy Pills, so how did it suddenly turn into a Spirit Surge Pill?
"Grand Elder Wu Mian, what's going on with that bottle of Spirit Surge Pill?" A disciple couldn't help but ask.
How could Xu Wumian answer that question? He wanted to find someone else to ask, but in the next moment, a look of panic appeared on his face, as if he realized something serious had happened.
"Not good! Someone is deliberately framing our Xingkun Weapon Workshop. "
The disciples had never seen Grand Elder Wu Mian in such a panic before, so they immediately became nervous.
"Grand Elder Wu Mian, what happened?"
Xu Wumian scolded after regaining his composure, "Which bastard put the Spirit Surge Pill under our Xingkun Weapon Workshop's name for auction? Isn't this harming us … Everyone knows how precious the Spirit Surge Pill is. Now that everyone knows that the Xingkun Weapon Workshop has the Spirit Surge Pill, some people might even think that the pill recipe is in Xingkun Faction. What kind of disaster do you think Xingkun Faction will face? "
After hearing Xu Wumian's words, the disciples all revealed a look of horror. If the South Flat State spread the news that the Xingkun Sect had the pill recipe for the Spirit Surge Pill, in less than half a month, the huge Six Star Sect would be razed to the ground.
"That's a bottle of Spirit Surge Pill? Then, then what about my auction? "The rogue cultivator who got the Spirit Surge Pill didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Xin Hai spoke again, "This is a bottle of Spirit Surge Pill, but it was auctioned under the name of Transforming Energy Pill. I think it's very likely that Xingkun Weapon Workshop took the wrong pill, so this bottle won't count for now. We need to ask Xingkun Faction's opinion."
Hundreds of thousands of eyes immediately looked in the same direction, where the Xingkun Faction disciples were standing.
The disciples were trembling in fear, even Xu Wu Mian who had stepped into the Body Condensation Stage felt he couldn't breathe. The cultivators on the square were like hungry wolves, ready to devour them at any moment.
"Where is the representative of Xingkun Faction? Come out and explain. "Seeing that there was no movement, Xin Hai shouted again.
Xu Wumian could only bite the bullet and fly onto the auction stage. She said nervously, "Xingkun Faction disciple Xu Wumian greets the four great protectors of Eighty Mile City."
"No need for formalities, what's with that bottle of Spirit Surge Pill?" Xin Hai asked.
Subconsciously, Xu Wumian wanted to say that this was not an item auctioned by the Xingkun Sect. But on second thought, this was a bottle of the long-lost ancient pill, the Spirit Charging Pill. Every pill represented a chance for a cultivator without a spirit root to develop any spirit root. If it was taken back to the sect and given to some genius disciples, it would greatly increase the overall strength of the Xingkun Sect …
A few decades later, the Xingkun Sect might become a seven-star sect of the South Flat Continent.
"Why aren't you talking?" Xin Hai was getting impatient.
Xu Wumian woke up and immediately said, "Xin Hai senior, this bottle of Spirit Surge Pill was a mistake. Xingkun Weapon Workshop was going to auction the Energy Surge Pill but disciple took the wrong one …"
"If that's the case, then the decision is in your hands. You can sell the Spirit-Charge Pill to that wandering cultivator at the same price as before, or you can give him a new bottle of Energy Melting Pills." Xin Hai's expression was one of anticipation.
Xu Wumian didn't need to make a decision, everyone could guess that he would keep the Spirit Surge Pill.
As expected, Xu Wumian cupped his fists at the sky and said, "Xin Hai senior, this time our Xingkun Weapon Workshop was careless. To show our sincerity, I will give the lone cultivator a bottle of Energy Surge Pill and give 1 million spirit stones to Eighty Mile City."
Xin Hai nodded and said, "Good! Eighty Mile City has always been fair. Since you took the wrong pill, you can change it. As for the 1 million spirit stones, you don't need to give it to Eighty Mile City. Give it to that lone cultivator as compensation. "
Xin Hai's selfless way of doing things was praised by many cultivators.
Xu Wumian immediately took out a bottle of Soul Melting Pills from her Storage Ring and gave it to the rogue cultivator as well as 1 million spirit stones. Then she carefully took the Spirit Surge Pill from Hai Qiji's hand and immediately threw it into her Storage Ring.
