"Father, this is the High Grade Innate Pill, Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill. Every time you take one, it's equivalent to 10 days of bitter cultivation! There are a total of 23 pills in these two bottles. Take them. Oh, right, in order to not affect the absorption of the pill's power, it's best that you take one pill every two days! " After finding his father, Ling Dong directly placed the two bottles of pills that he had just refined in front of his father and went straight to the point.
However, Ling Yuanshan didn't react. His mouth was wide open. In his eyes, there were only the two jade bottles that Ling Dong had placed in front of him. The two jade bottles that contained the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill!
When he heard the words' Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill ', he was stunned. Ling Dong's subsequent exhortations didn't even register a single word.
"Father? Father? " Seeing that Ling Yuanshan didn't react for a long time, Ling Dong was slightly puzzled and waved his hand in front of his father's eyes. When he saw the shock in Ling Yuanshan's eyes, he then realized that his father should have been shocked by the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill that he had suddenly taken out.
"Uh … this … this is really the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill?" After being awakened from his shock by Ling Dong, Ling Yuanshan was still very surprised. He even doubted the authenticity of the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill. In his heart, this Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill was simply too precious!
Seeing that his father doubted the authenticity of the pill, Ling Dong couldn't help but feel a trace of unhappiness! No alchemist would allow any trace of doubt towards the pills that they had refined. However, in just a moment, that trace of unhappiness disappeared. Because Ling Dong wasn't just an alchemist, he was also a son!
"Father, have you seen or taken the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill? Why don't you take it out and take a look and smell it? "Ling Dong said with a shrug!
However, Ling Yuanshan laughed bitterly. "I've seen this Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill before, but I've never taken it! In the entire Ling family, there's only one person who has taken the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill! "
"Who?"
This time, Ling Yuanshan was not in a hurry to answer Ling Dong. Instead, he carefully opened a jade bottle and poured out a round pill that was a mixture of green, red, and white. A strange fragrance immediately filled the study room.
Then, Ling Yuanshan brought the pill to his nose and sniffed it. Immediately, his eyes were filled with excitement!
"Similar, too similar. It's exactly the same as the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill that I saw when I was young!" Ling Yuanshan said excitedly.
Ling Dong thought to himself, How can they not look alike? This was the real Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill.
"Father, you still haven't told me who in the Ling family has taken the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill!" As an alchemist, Ling Dong naturally knew the value of the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill!
Although the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill was only a high grade pill, it could directly increase a martial artist's cultivation, so it was extremely popular. Ling Dong had refined the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill in his previous life. The cost of one bottle was no more than 100,000 silver taels, but each bottle (12 pills) was sold for no less than 500,000 silver taels. If it was sold at an auction, it would sell for 600,000 to 700,000 silver taels for a bottle.
In a small place like Nanshan County, the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill was extremely rare. Every time it appeared, the price would be very high. With the Ling family's annual income of more than 1,000,000 silver taels, it was really extravagant to take the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill!
Therefore, Ling Dong was very curious about the fact that someone in the Ling family had taken the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pill!
Hearing his son's question, Ling Yuanshan seemed to recall something. He carefully put the pill back into the jade bottle, his eyes filled with old memories!
"About 27 years ago, your father was only 15 years old. At that time, your grandfather had just confirmed the identity of the next leader of the Ling family. However, the situation was very serious. Your grandfather's cultivation wasn't the best among the three brothers of his generation.
Your grandfather had just broken through to Xiantian Realm Level Four. Your second grandfather, Ling Gaofeng, was already at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Four and was only one step away from Xiantian Realm Level Five. Even your third grandfather was at Xiantian Realm Level Four. To be honest, your grandfather's position wasn't very stable. Your second and third grandfathers were unhappy and often found fault with him!
At an auction, your grandfather's grandfather spent 1,400,000 silver taels to buy two bottles of Three Flower Demonic Aura Pills. That was four to five years of the family's savings! Those two bottles of Three Flower Demonic Aura Pills were bought by your grandfather's grandfather for your grandfather to take. Before your grandfather took it, he was lucky enough to see it once!
After consuming two bottles of the Three Flower Demonic Pills, your grandfather, who had just broken through to Xiantian Realm Level Four, improved by leaps and bounds. In less than three months, he broke through to Xiantian Realm Level Five and firmly suppressed your second grandfather, Ling Gaofeng! This shows how precious the Three Flower Demonic Aura Pills are! "
Speaking up to here, Ling Yuanshan's expression suddenly turned serious as he said: "Dong-er, since we've brought this up today, father would like to talk to you about it. Do you know why our Ling Family is in a conflict between factions? Why would your second grandpa Ling Gaofeng's branch target our branch like this? Also, if it weren't for your third grandfather, Ling Xuanfeng's family would be completely against us and wouldn't be as unstable as they are now. "
"It should be … the position of the head of the family!" As an old man who had lived for three hundred years, Ling Dong didn't have the habit of blurting out such things when he spoke.
"That's right, but you're only half right!" Ling Yuanshan's words were shocking!
"If you're only half right, what's the other half?" Ling Dong asked curiously.
"Cultivation. In the Ling family, as long as you become the head of the family, your cultivation will be number one in the Ling family. For the stability of the family, the Ling family will spend a large amount of the family's wealth to buy pills to help the head of the family increase his cultivation! Most importantly, the head of the family is also the only person in the Ling family who has the qualifications and the opportunity to break through to the Earth Realm! The others can only die of old age at Xiantian Realm Level Nine or wait for that one in a million chance to break through! "Ling Yuanshan explained.
After hearing Ling Yuanshan's explanation, Ling Dong immediately understood. Breaking through from Xiantian Realm Level Nine to the Earth Realm was a complete transformation for a martial artist! Whether or not they could break through was related to their lifespan!
Due to the sharpness of the earth energy, most martial artists would more or less damage their meridians and organs during cultivation, resulting in hidden injuries that would affect their lifespan. Sometimes, the lifespan of a Xiantian Realm martial artist wasn't much longer than that of an ordinary person. Eighty to ninety years old was considered a long lifespan!
But to a martial artist, breaking through to the Earth Realm was an opportunity, or rather, a chance to be reborn! When one broke through to the Earth Realm, due to the formation of the Earth Realm Evil Core, there would be a process of tempering one's body and replenishing one's origin. The body's internal injuries would be healed, and the body's functions would be greatly enhanced. The lifespan could increase by 200 years.
Breaking through to the Earth Realm and increasing one's lifespan was the dream of almost all Xiantian Realm martial artists. But in reality, among the Xiantian Realm martial artists, there were only two or three who could successfully break through to the Earth Realm out of ten thousand people!
In any case, apart from the first ancestor of the Ling family, no one else had broken through to the Earth Realm in the history of the family. Although no one had broken through to the Earth Realm, there was still a chance to do so!
For example, Ling Dong's grandfather used the Ling family's wealth to purchase an Ice Lotus Calamity Breaking Pill that was specially used for breaking through bottlenecks. After that, he went into seclusion in order to break through his current bottleneck and become an Earth Realm martial artist, increasing his lifespan by 200 years!
Seeing that Ling Dong was deep in thought, Ling Yuanshan mistakenly thought that Ling Dong hadn't figured it out. He let out a long sigh and said, "The relationship in this matter is too complicated and involves too many things. It's fine if you don't understand it now, but you will eventually understand it in the future! Oh right, how did you get this Three Flowered Demonic Aura Pill? "
Seeing that his father had said so, Ling Dong didn't try to defend himself, lest he had to waste his breath to explain.
"Father, if I said that this Three Flowered Demonic Aura Pill was refined by me, would you believe me?" Ling Dong said with a straight face!
"You refined it?" Ling Yuanshan sucked in a breath of cold air. Looking at Ling Dong's straight face, he thought of a month ago when Ling Dong had arranged for Deacon Wu of the Ling family's trading company to purchase a large amount of medicinal ingredients. He was even almost caught by Ling Zhengshan for being in a deficit. Why didn't he lock himself in the Earth Fire Alchemy Room for the past forty plus days …
All kinds of signs indicated that Ling Dong seemed to have really gone to refine pills! For example, if it wasn't refined by Ling Dong, then where did it come from? It was impossible to buy it!
However, his own son could refine the Upper Grade Innate Three Flowered Demonic Aura Pill. No matter how Ling Yuanshan thought about it, he felt his scalp go numb, as if he was in a dream! The Three Flowered Demonic Aura Pill could only be refined by an Upper Grade Alchemist!
"I believe you!" Ling Yuanshan took a deep breath and said, "But Dong-er, you have to tell me, how did you refine it …"
Hearing Ling Yuanshan's question, Ling Dong felt a headache coming on. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Father, don't ask me about this matter. It's fine if you don't understand this matter, but there are too many things involved. When the time comes, you will understand …"
When Ling Yuanshan heard this, he shook his hand and gave Ling Dong a knock on the head. "You stinking brat, you're returning the words that I, your father, said to you just now!"
Ling Dong just laughed. Seeing this, Ling Yuanshan didn't ask any more questions! While the father and son were chatting, there was a knock on the door. Housekeeper Liu's voice also came in at the same time!
"Master, Second Master sent someone to invite you to the Assembly Hall for a discussion. He also said that you should bring Third Young Master along!"
"Another discussion?" Ling Yuanshan's brows had a trace of disgust for no reason!
Ling Dong was a little confused. What was it that involved him again? Ling Dong was a junior, and he didn't have the qualifications to go to the Assembly Hall. If he was called to the Assembly Hall, it must have something that involved him!
"Father, what are you going to discuss? Why is it involving me!" Ling Dong asked curiously!
Ling Yuanshan glanced deeply at Ling Dong and said, "Alchemist Consecrated Grandmaster Shui has defected!"
"How is this possible?" Ling Dong's face suddenly turned gloomy!
