Then, he pointed at the bottles of spirit pills and asked Nangong Jing what they were for.
Nangong Jing scoffed but did not reject him.
What he said was completely different from what he had in mind. He described the poison as a spirit medicine, and the spirit medicine as a poison. However, some of what he said was right, and some of it was fake. If it was not for the Omniscient Mirror, he would have been fooled.
Chu Li frowned and looked at him. "Young Master Nangong, since you've already lost, why don't you just admit defeat? You're shameless to play tricks like this."
"Who said I'm playing tricks?" Nangong Jing scoffed.
Chu Li picked up a small jade bottle and opened it. "You said this is a spirit pill that can increase one's power. Fine, take it!"
He poured out a blood-red pill and stuffed it into Nangong Jing's mouth.
Nangong Jing's face darkened. He glared at him viciously. He wanted to skin Chu Li alive.
Chu Li looked at his face and shook his head. "Take this spirit pill and you'll feel good. You'll be able to break through your acupuncture points soon. You don't have to waste your time now."
Nangong Jing had been trying to break through his sealed acupuncture points. He had made some progress and had unsealed two acupuncture points.
Chu Li did not care and pretended not to know. He pointed it out with a hint of mockery. He wanted to see Nangong Jing in pain and despair. It would be a show of strength to him and also a show of strength to Jin Shirong.
Jin Shirong's expression changed but he did not say a word.
Through Chu Li's Omniscient Mirror, he saw that Jin Shirong was even more cunning. He looked honest but he was full of evil tricks. He was thinking of ways to deal with Chu Li.
Chu Li poured out a spirit pill from another bottle and stuffed it into Nangong Jing's mouth. He smiled. "You don't have to thank me!"
This spirit pill was the antidote.
Nangong Jing let out a sigh of relief.
He was also a person who was afraid of death. Dying after eating his own poison made him even more afraid. Even if he died, he would become a laughingstock among the disciples of the Heaven Shaking Pavilion. His name would be passed down from generation to generation, and he would never be able to make a comeback.
His back was drenched in cold sweat.
Chu Li ignored him and turned to look at Jin Shirong. He smiled and said, "Master Jin, let's have a good talk. What are these?"
He pointed at the jade pendant and the elixir.
However, Jin Shirong was straightforward and did not hesitate to tell the truth. In fact, he was also frightened by Chu Li.
If Senior Brother Nangong had really been poisoned to death, that would have been a great humiliation. He would have probably been poisoned to death as well.
Although the treasures were great and the spirit pills were wonderful, they were not worth mentioning when compared to his life. As long as he was alive, he could continue to obtain the treasures and spirit pills. Therefore, he was very cooperative and looked sincere. He explained in great detail as he was afraid that Chu Li would not be satisfied.
Chu Li nodded in satisfaction and smiled. "Master Jin, you're more tactful. You're willing to accept your loss."
"Are you really going to kill us?" Jin Shirong asked.
He speculated that if there were no accidents, Chu Li would not kill the two of them. Otherwise, he could have just poisoned Senior Brother Nangong to death. There was no need to save him.
Chu Li shook his head. "There's no point in killing you, and you're not a threat anyway."
He kept the jade pendants and spirit pills into his inner pocket. Then, he took out the jade pendant that he obtained from the cave and looked at it slowly.
Jin Shirong and Nangong Jing stared at the dull jade pendant.
The jade pendant did not look like it was carved from good jade. It was simple and unadorned. It was definitely not the work of a master.
On the whole, it did not look like a treasure. No one would be willing to pick it up if it was thrown on the street.
They had sharp eyes. One look at the jade pendant and they knew it was not an ordinary item.
Nangong Jing asked, "Is this the Flying Star Sect's Jade of Inheritance?"
Chu Li said, "Who knows? It could be from another sect or just an ordinary treasure. … Why don't you take a look?"
"No need!" Nangong Jing scoffed.
Jin Shirong said, "Let me try."
Chu Li handed the jade pendant to Jin Shirong.
Jin Shirong's acupuncture points were not sealed, but he was heavily injured and his bones were almost broken. Therefore, he did not have to worry about escaping.
Jin Shirong picked up the jade pendant with difficulty and slowly raised it to his eyes. Then, he channeled his remaining inner energy and slowly injected it.
"Bang!" He suddenly fell backward. The jade pendant had already flown out of his palm.
Chu Li reached behind him and the jade pendant flew into his hand.
After Jin Shirong fell to the ground with a thud, Chu Li caught the jade pendant and shook his head. "Looks like you won't make it."
"I want to take another look!" Jin Shirong shouted with red eyes.
He was not convinced. Moreover, he could feel the strong energy in the jade pendant. It was definitely not an ordinary treasure. He was eager to find out what treasure it was. Otherwise, he would not be able to sleep well.
Chu Li smiled and handed the jade pendant back to him.
Jin Shirong closed his eyes and sat down. He took a deep breath and looked at Chu Li. "Please, give me another Spirit Recovery Pill."
Chu Li smiled and took out a jade bottle. He opened it and handed him a Milky Yellow Spirit Pill.
Jin Shirong swallowed it. After a while, his face became rosier and he was full of energy. He did not look like he was injured. Moreover, his aura was turbulent and his cultivation level was higher than before. However, there was a price to pay.
Jin Shirong placed the jade pendant in front of his eyes and injected inner energy into it again. However, he did not expect his inner energy to be bounced back by a huge force. With a muffled "bang", he was sent flying ten meters away.
Chu Li waved his hand and picked up the jade pendant on the ground. Then, he tossed it to Nangong Jing and unsealed his acupuncture point.
Without the treasure, Nangong Jing was no threat.
Nangong Jing lowered his head and looked at it for a while. He carefully touched it as if he was trying to figure out the material of the jade pendant.
After a while, Nangong Jing could not figure it out. He slowly injected some inner energy into the jade pendant but was quickly bounced back by a strong force. With a muffled "bang", the jade pendant almost flew away.
Chu Li smiled. "Can you guys find out?"
"It's strange," Nangong Jing said. "Is this really the jade pendant?"
Chu Li said, "I can swear to God."
Nangong Jing frowned. "It's hard to say if it's the Flying Star Sect's inheritance."
As soon as he said that, he tried to probe it with his spiritual force. Suddenly, his vision shook violently as if his body was shaking violently. His internal organs were flipped over and he felt an indescribable pain.
If it really was the Flying Star Sect's inheritance, there should be something strange about it. Unfortunately, they could not find anything.
He was sure that this was not the Flying Star Sect's inheritance. Otherwise, there would be no need for this jade pendant.
They were all powerhouses among the Heaven Shaking Pavilion's disciples. In the entire martial arts world, they were top-notch masters. Yet, they could not do anything to this jade pendant. If it was someone with low martial arts skills, they would not be able to open it.
Chu Li scoffed. "Can you give up now?"
"Although I don't know what it is, I'm sure it's a great treasure!" Nangong Jing said.
Chu Li smiled. "So, it still belongs to the Heaven Shaking Pavilion?"
"You won't be able to keep it," Nangong Jing said. "If it's not us, it'll be the other senior and junior brothers."
Chu Li said, "Let's see if it'll be you guys robbing me or me robbing you!"
As soon as he said that, he snatched the jade pendant back and put it in his inner pocket. Then, he waved his hand and disappeared.
After letting them see it and deny that it was the Flying Star Sect's inheritance, they could only gather a limited number of people and the Heaven Shaking Pavilion would not pay too much attention to it. Chu Li knew that he could not go against the Heaven Shaking Pavilion now.
He needed to seize the time to condense nine Sea of Energy as soon as possible so that he could use the Nine Swords Unification. Then, he would be able to fight against the Heaven Shaking Pavilion!
