nChapter 30

n“That’s right.” Chen Xuan nodded. “Mo Xiao’s third disciple, Pei Hao, is coming to our Nanyang County to sell pills. This matter has already caused a huge commotion in Jiangzhou.”

n“So Pei Hao is here to sell pills.” Chen Yang understood.

nSpeaking of Pei Hao, Chen Yang had heard of him before. Pei Hao was an alchemy genius who had appeared more than a hundred years ago. He was taken in as a disciple by Mo Xiao.

nAs for why Pei Hao came to Nanyang County to sell pills, there was also some back story.

nPei Hao was born in a small town called Donglin Town in Nanyang County. His parents died when he was young, and he relied on the food of the villagers to survive.

nAfter Pei Hao became rich, he would come here to hold an auction every twenty years on account of his gratitude towards Donglin Town.

nNaturally, he kept the spirit stones for the pill auction. However, Pei Hao would always donate the entrance fee to Donglin Town.

nIt had to be known that every time Pei Hao held an auction, the entire Jiangzhou would hear about it. Just the entrance fee alone was not a small sum.

nThe tickets were not just Great Qian Gold, but also spirit stones.

nThe Great Qian Gold was used to subsidize the ordinary residents of Donglin Town, while spirit stones were used to fund the young martial artists of Donglin Town.

nIt was also because of this relationship that although Donglin Town was within the influence of the Song family, the Song family had not plundered a single cent here.

nBack to business.

nKnowing that Pei Hao was about to start the auction again, Chen Yang couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know the specific types and quantities of the pills being auctioned this time?”

n“I’m not too sure. But according to the information that’s been circulating, there’s probably a Meridian Unlocking Pill.”

nMeridian Unlocking Pill!

nHearing these three words, Chen Yang instantly lost his composure.

nThis Meridian Unlocking Pill was a seventh-grade medicinal pill. Its effect was even more fascinating to countless peak Qi Refinement realm martial artists. That was to increase the chances of breaking through to the Genesis realm by 30%.

nThere were many pills in this world that could help one break through to the eighth-grade.

nHowever, these pills had a fixed weakness. That is if they failed to break through, they would cause damage to themselves.

nAt best, the practitioner would be seriously injured. At worst, his meridians would be broken and he would die on the spot.

nAs a seventh-grade medicinal pill, the Meridian Unlocking Pill was different. Increasing the chances of breaking through by 30% was secondary. Most importantly, this medicinal pill did not have any side effects. It did not matter even if the breakthrough failed.

nMoreover, this Meridian Unlocking Pill had the effect of stabilizing the meridians. Even if he failed to break through, he could guarantee that his realm would not decline.

nAll kinds of wonders made this Meridian Unlocking Pill the most precious existence among the supplementary pills for breaking through the Genesis Realm.

n`”If the Meridian Unlocking Pill appears, it will definitely be another fierce battle.” Chen Yang sighed.

nIn the Great Qian Dynasty, other than those high and mighty seventh-grade factions, who else did not need this Meridian Unlocking Pill?

nEven a seventh-grade faction would not mind having more Genesis experts.

nOne could imagine how competitive it would be to obtain this Meridian Unlocking Pill.

n“Then, Family Head, are we going to fight for this Meridian Unlocking Pill?” Chen Xuan looked at Chen Yang.

nChen Yang was currently at the peak of Qi Refinement. With the help of the Meridian Unlocking Pill, with Chen Yang’s aptitude, it was very likely that he could break through to the Genesis Realm in a few months.

n“I think there’s no need. Every time this Meridian Unlocking Pill is sold, the price is about 3,000 spirit stones. How can our Chen family take out so many spirit stones?”

nChen Yang actually wanted to obtain this Meridian Unlocking Pill, but when he thought of his family’s situation, he could only suppress the desire in his heart.

nHearing Chen Yang say this, Chen Xuan was silent for a moment. Then, he seemed to have made up his mind. “Family Head, if it really doesn’t work, why don’t we use our family’s heritage?”

n“Use our family’s heritage?” Chen Xuan’s words shocked Chen Yang.

nThis so-called family heritage was what a family could rely on to turn the tables at the most critical moment.

nAlthough the Chen family was a newly established ninth-grade family, they had also accumulated a lot of spirit stones over the years.

nThese spirit stones were the heritage for the Chen family to turn the tables when they encountered danger in the future.

n“That’s right. Use the heritage of the family to obtain a Meridian Unlocking Pill for the Family Head.” Chen Xuan confirmed his words again.

n“But isn’t this family’s heritage something that can only be used in times of crisis?” Chen Yang asked.

n“Family Head, this is a time of crisis!”

nChen Xuan suddenly stood up and looked around. Then, he focused his gaze on Chen Yang. “Family Head, the Gongsun family is no longer hiding their ambitions.”

n“If we still feel pity to spend spirit stones, when the Gongsun family attacks, these spirit stones can only become their spoils of war.”

n“That’s right. I also think that we should use our family’s heritage to obtain a Meridian Unlocking Pill for the Family Head.” After Chen Xuan, Chen Meng also expressed his opinion.

nImmediately after, the elders stood up one after another, all thinking that they could use their family’s heritage.

nWhen Chen Yang saw this, he did not continue to be coy. Chen Yang would remember the kindness of his clansmen. One day, he would repay them.

n“Alright, in that case, let’s use our family’s heritage to buy the Meridian Unlocking Pill for me!”

nSeeing that the Family Head had agreed, a smile appeared on Chen Xuan’s face. “That’s good.”

nAs the Family Head he was loyal to, and according to familial seniority, Chen Yang was also considered his nephew. Chen Xuan naturally hoped that Chen Yang would become stronger.

nSince he had decided to participate in the auction, Chen Yang naturally had to make plans early.

nImmediately, Chen Yang looked at Mo Xingling. “Miss Mo, please tell the Mo family that my Chen family plans to bid for the Meridian Unlocking Pill.”

n“At the same time, please invite Family Head Mo to Maple City to discuss matters. After all, this auction might be the first confrontation between our two alliances.”

n“Xingling understands.” Mo Xingling nodded and immediately left.

nTime flew by. In the blink of an eye, five days and nights had passed.

nIn the past five days, the news that Pei Hao was going to auction pills had completely spread throughout Jiangzhou. All the major and minor forces heard the news and were thinking about how to obtain some benefits from the auction.

nMeanwhile, Family Head Mo and Family Head Li quietly rushed to the Chen family after receiving Chen Yang’s orders.

nAs the three-family alliance was currently in the dark, in order not to alert the enemy, the two family heads specially rushed over from the Song family’s territory.

nMaple City, in the Chen family’s reception hall.

nFamily Head Mo took a sip of hot tea and looked at Chen Yang. “Family Head Chen, why did you call us here?”

n“Of course it’s to use this auction to cause trouble for the Gongsun family and the other two families.” Chen Yang smiled.

n“Looking for trouble? Family Head Chen, do you mean that our alliance doesn’t have to be hidden anymore?” Family Head Li looked at Chen Yang strangely.

nLogically speaking, this kind of alliance was the best in the dark, because only in this way could they stab the enemy ruthlessly without realizing it.

n“The alliance can’t be hidden. After a while, the three families will start to attack our Chen family. At that time, the two of you will definitely take action.”

n“It’s fine if it’s the final battle, but if it’s not the final battle, hiding is probably useless.”

n“I might as well take this opportunity to cause some trouble for the Gongsun family.”
