That night.
Among the thirty-six domains of the Federation, except for the Governor's Office of the Capital, the Qinghe Governor's Office, and the Governor's Office of the Changmeng Governor, the other thirty-three domain lords all received a call from Lan Yuanqing at the same time.
As soon as the call went through, Lan Yuanqing directly showed the jade box that Gu Zeyan had sent him without saying a word. Inside the jade box, there were more than ten fifth-grade Emperor-level Golden Soul Refining Pills lying quietly inside, flickering with golden light.
"In three days, there will be a gathering in the capital. Every domain that comes will be given one of these pills and a long-term subscription relationship will be established."
It was very direct, very tempting, and the thirty-three domain lords couldn't refuse.
Although Lan Yuanqing didn't say what would happen to those who didn't come, as long as they received the call and saw with their own eyes the more than ten fifth-grade Emperor-level Golden Soul Refining Pills, all of them were burning with anxiety and couldn't wait to leave for the capital immediately.
However, that was obviously a bit unrealistic.
After all, they were domain lords and the strongest martial artists in their respective Governor's Office. Without full preparation, how could they easily leave their own territories?
Especially during this critical period when demonic beasts could attack the city at any time. Every time they went out, they had to be very careful.
This was also the reason why Lan Yuanqing set a three-day time limit. Three days of arrangement and preparation, whether those domain lords came in person or sent a representative with comparable strength, was enough for them to make full preparations.
After the call, Lan Yuanqing put away the communication device and sat in the study with his eyes closed, deep in thought.
Beside him, Deputy City Lord Lu Ziqi held the jade box in his hand and stood bowed, waiting for the City Lord's next order.
Gulp!
Gulp!
Smelling the pill fragrance, Lu Ziqi's throat moved. With so many Emperor-level Golden Soul Refining Pills in front of him, it was really uncontrollable.
To be honest, until now, he was still confused and confused. He didn't know where the City Lord got so many fifth-grade Emperor-level Golden Soul Refining Pills.
What was even more puzzling was that after the City Lord got so many fifth-grade Emperor-level Golden Soul Refining Pills, he didn't hide them and secretly enjoy them. Instead, he used them as bait and openly invited the thirty-three domain lords to come to the capital to share these pills.
From the meaning of those words, all the Emperor-level Golden Soul Refining Pills of the City Lord seemed to be more than these. Not only did he want to give these pills to the various domain lords who came to the capital to attend the gathering, but he also wanted to do business with them and sell the rest of the remaining pills Golden Soul Refining Pills to them!
Was he going crazy?
Since when did the City Lord become so rich and stupid? Wasn't he afraid that he would attract such a vicious wolf that would bite him in the end?
No matter how powerful Jinghua City was, it couldn't withstand the combined attack of the Federation's 33 Domain Lords.
Moreover, among these thirty-three domains, there was also the Federal Center City!
Even though the Capital City had received the help of Yang Fan, a true Emperor-level doctor, some of the Emperor-level seniors who had returned to the mortal realm and the peak of the King-level had all recovered their strength, causing the Capital City's high-end combat strength to increase by almost three times overnight.
However, even if it was three times, could it compare to the Federal Center City? Could it withstand the combined coercion of the other domains?
City Lord Golden Soul Refining Pill, did you know that you were arrogant?
Lu Ziqi suppressed the greed and desire in his heart and gently closed the jade box in his hand, not allowing his gaze to linger on it.
His mind raced as he raised his head worriedly. His eyes kept sweeping across Lan Yuanqing's face, and he wanted to say something but stopped himself several times.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Is there a need to be so reserved in front of me?"
Lan Yuanqing raised his head and glanced at Lu Ziqi in dissatisfaction.
Lu Ziqi's body shook, and he finally stopped holding back. He bowed and placed the jade box in his hand on the table in front of Lan Yuanqing, and directly asked him, "City Lord, this subordinate wants to know, why are you doing this?"
"So many Emperor-level Golden Soul Refining Pills have appeared in our Capital City. It's no different from a hot potato. If it's not done well, I'm afraid it will become the source of disaster!"
Lan Yuanqing said, "You're blaming me for telling so many people that we have Emperor-level Golden Soul Refining Pills, and attracting the attention of the various domains of the Federation, right?"
It was a good thing to obtain a good treasure, but to spread the news of obtaining a good treasure everywhere, that was the source of disaster.
How could Lan Yuanqing not know this logic?
"Actually, I don't want such a good thing to be taken advantage of by outsiders for no reason."
"After all, things like Golden Soul Refining Pills, no matter what grade they are, high-grade or low-grade, as long as there are them, they are extremely rare and good things. We may not even have enough for our own internal digestion, so why do we have to contact the other domains? Do you really think that I, Lan Yuanqing, am a saint?"
Lu Ziqi heard this and couldn't help but open his mouth. "Since you know everything, why do you still do this? Could it be that someone is forcing the City Lord to do this?! "
Thinking of a certain possibility, Lu Ziqi couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
"It's not that I'm forcing, I'm doing this voluntarily." Lan Yuanqing shook his head slightly, raised his hand, pointed at the jade box on the table, and asked Lu Ziqi softly, "Ziqi, guess who sent these more than ten fifth-grade Emperor-level Golden Soul Refining Pills, and who refined them?"
Lu Ziqi was dumbfounded.
He wasn't a god, how the hell could he guess?
After all, there hadn't even been a single high-grade soul emperor necromancer in the federation before this, let alone such a high-grade soul emperor golden soul refinement pill.
The City Lord was making things difficult for him.
Fortunately, Lan Yuanqing wasn't deliberately making things difficult for him, and soon gave the answer himself. "This box of pills was personally sent by Elder Gu Zeyan of Jinghua University."
"Gu Zeyan?!" Lu Ziqi was shocked. "The elder who founded Jinghua University? He's still alive?! "
Gu Zeyan was a legendary figure in the capital. Naturally, Lu Ziqi had heard a lot about him and was very familiar with him.
However, it was rumored that as early as fifty years ago in the battle to protect the city, he had already perished together with the invading peak Demon Emperor.
Lu Ziqi had never thought that she would be able to hear news about Gu Zeyan here.
"Not only is he still alive, but his cultivation has also improved." Lan Yuanqing sighed softly. "Speaking of which, this is all thanks to that kid, Yang Fan. If it wasn't for his profound medical skills, Elder Gu wouldn't have been able to recover to his peak, and our capital wouldn't have another super-level expert!"
Lu Ziqi was secretly shocked.
What did he mean by 'improved'?
It was rumored that as early as when Gu Zeyan perished together with the peak Demon Emperor, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Emperor-level.
If he improved further, wouldn't he have entered the half-step Monarch Realm?
Lu Ziqi didn't dare to think about the Monarch Realm. After all, every Monarch's breakthrough would cause the entire Origin Planet to change, and multicolored light would fill the sky. In the past few decades, no matter if it was the Human Clan or the Demon Clan, no new Monarch had appeared.
If Gu Zeyan had really advanced to the Monarch Realm, it was impossible for him to be so unknown.
Lan Yuanqing glanced at Lu Ziqi and didn't continue speaking. The news that four half-step Monarchs had been revived in Jinhua University was still a top secret for many people.
Although Lu Ziqi was his close and trusted subordinate, Lan Yuanqing couldn't tell him all the secrets.
However, this time, in order to intimidate the various regions of the Federation, there had to be a person of great virtue and strength to hold the fort. That was why Gu Zeyan's existence had been leaked in advance.
"Then, could these Soul-Refining Golden Pills have been refined by a revived Emperor-level Soul-Refining Pill?"
Lu Ziqi asked softly.
This was the most likely guess. After all, even an old antique like Gu Zeyan had been revived. It didn't seem unacceptable to have another Emperor-level Soul-Refining Pill.
Lan Yuanqing shook his head slightly. He knew that Lu Ziqi would think in this direction. In fact, before Gu Zeyan told him who the real person who refined this pill was, he also thought so.
"You definitely can't imagine the person who refined this pill." Lan Yuanqing didn't lie because he knew that Lu Ziqi definitely couldn't guess. "He cured Senior Gu Zeyan, the Emperor-level doctor who's currently in the limelight, Yang Fan."
Lu Ziqi was stunned.
'Are you kidding me? Yang Fan? Isn't he an Emperor-level doctor? How did he become an Emperor-level Soul-Refining Pill?
This is a bit ridiculous, isn't it? '
Originally, it was already shocking and unbelievable that a young man like Yang Fan could have the title of an Emperor-level doctor. Now, he was going to give him the title of an Emperor-level Soul-Refining Pill?
Please, even if he wanted to kill him with flattery, he should at least find a believable and slightly more reliable reason, right?
Who would believe such a preposterous and outrageous statement?
"It's hard to believe, isn't it?" Lan Yuanqing knew that Lu Ziqi would show such an expression as if he had been fooled. He said softly, "But that's the truth."
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible."
"Yang Fan is an Emperor-level doctor. The strength of his soul and spiritual power must be extraordinary, far surpassing that of ordinary people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become a real Emperor-level doctor at such a young age. "
"And an extremely strong soul and spiritual power that is different from ordinary people are also the necessary conditions to become a Soul-Refining Pill. Since Yang Fan has the ability to become an Emperor-level doctor, why can't he also become an Emperor-level Soul-Refining Pill?"
The corner of Lu Ziqi's mouth twitched.
'What kind of fallacious logic is this? Incidental? If you have the ability, why don't you show me?'
If it was really so easy to become an Emperor-level Soul-Refining Pill, why hadn't a real Emperor-level Soul-Refining Pill appeared in the past 150 years or so since the establishment of the Federation?
Ignoring Lu Ziqi's strange expression, Lan Yuanqing continued to speak.
"Of course, if it weren't for the joint threat of the 33 domain lords of the Federation this time, wanting to make Yang Fan take the risk of patrolling the various domains, Yang Fan might not have taken the initiative to reveal his identity as an Emperor-level Soul-Refining Pill."
"But no matter what, Yang Fan's existence is only beneficial to our capital!"
"His value and influence is absolutely not inferior to any Half-step Monarch Realm expert!"
