Chapter 1425: Give Me Another One

Looking at the blood seal formation in his hand, the Grand Elder stood frozen in place, motionless for a long time, as if his whole body had turned to stone.

Thinking back over these years, for this "son," I have sacrificed so much.

He was treasured as if held in the mouth for fear it would melt, cupped in the hands for fear it would drop; no matter how much trouble he caused, he would selflessly go help him resolve it.

But in the end, this guy turned out not to be my blood relative.

Moreover, thinking of that face sharing bed and pillow with me, those sweet scenes once fresh in the Grand Elder's memory now also become utterly disgusting.

A grating teeth-grinding sound rang out, and hearing it, the Offering Master Lin nearby felt a chill run through his heart.

Clearly the Grand Elder only has Great Emperor cultivation, while he is an Emperor Sovereign, yet looking at the Grand Elder before him, he feels an indescribable sensation.

"You..............."

Just as he was about to speak, the next second a furious roar shot up to the sky.

"You bastard, I'll fucking kill you."

After saying that, the Grand Elder spat out a mouthful of blood with a puff, and immediately fainted.

Already wounded, this further stimulation caused his qi and blood to surge against his heart; ultimately, this strong-willed Grand Elder still collapsed.

Seeing this, the Offering Master Lin hurried forward, saw he still had breath, quickly fed him a healing pill, and then had someone arrange a room for him to rest.

As for the main hall, with the Grand Elder's departure, the atmosphere did indeed ease.

After all, from the start, the Grand Elder had been a firm war faction, preferring mutual destruction over negotiation.

As for Medicine Cloud Peak, they were hesitant and torn; now without the Grand Elder, they clearly leaned toward negotiation.

After all, this best serves both sides' interests; nobody wants mutual destruction.

So, at this point Medicine Cloud Peak, after weighing the options, finally nodded and agreed to Dongfang Huang's proposal.

"Fine, as long as you can obtain the Demonic Essence Fruit, previous matters will be written off."

Obtaining the Demonic Essence Fruit means opposing the Demonic Clan; in Medicine Cloud Peak's view, the risk is not small.

However, he doesn't know what Yun Xiantai and the others think; to them, opposing the Demonic Clan is no big deal, after all it's not the first time.

So, upon hearing Medicine Cloud Peak's words, Yun Xiantai turned to look at Ye Zhangqing; seeing he had no objection, he simply nodded and said.

"Okay, I agree."

Seeing this, Medicine Cloud Peak nodded, about to settle it like that, but Yun Xiantai's next sentence left him dumbfounded.

"How about you give me one more Ancient Emperor Pattern Pill, and I'll easily obtain those three Demonic Essence Fruits for you."

"Huh???"

Staring blankly at Yun Xiantai, you're fucking joking, right?

Getting even one Demonic Essence Fruit I already consider you impressive; now you tell me to get three? You think the Demonic Clan are a bunch of idiots.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, when the time comes we'll exchange fruit for pill hand in hand—how does that sound?"

The effects of the Ancient Emperor Pattern Pill, Yun Xiantai has personally experienced; if he could get another one..................

Unconsciously glancing at Qiu Baiyi beside him, then she could also break through to the perfected Emperor Sovereign Realm.

Now this Qiu Baiyi is Young Ye Qing's dao companion, one of our own; helping her increase her strength also strengthens the Haotu World's power.

As for Dongfang Hong, Yun Xiantai hadn't considered it; although everyone is quite familiar, Dongfang Hong is not one of us, and such a precious thing cannot be used on him.

Seeing Yun Xiantai's fearless attitude, Medicine Cloud Peak was somewhat stunned.

"You haven't had any contact with the Demonic Clan, have you?"

In his view, this is like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers; even the Dongfang Family was wiped out directly by the Demonic Clan, and not even all of them came out.

With that mouth you're asking for three Demonic Essence Fruits—you truly have no idea of the Demonic Clan's strength.

Yet Yun Xiantai still spoke with full confidence.

"Don't worry about those; just tell me—if I can obtain three Demonic Essence Fruits, will you add another Ancient Emperor Pattern Pill?"

This................

The value of the Ancient Emperor Pattern Pill is indeed higher than that of the Demonic Essence Fruit, but if it's three Demonic Essence Fruits, then it's a different matter.

Moreover, Medicine Cloud Peak thought this impossible, so after a moment's hesitation he nodded in agreement.

"Good, if you can bring all three Demonic Essence Fruits, not only will previous matters be written off, but I'll also give you another Ancient Emperor Pattern Pill."

"One word, settled?"

"One word, settled."

At last the matter was settled, only Dongfang Huang felt a bit dazed.

"I said just one, fuck, how did you make it three?"

After everyone left the hall, Medicine Cloud Peak's people went to check on the Grand Elder's condition, then Dongfang Huang, with a strange look, asked Dongfang Hong.

"Third brother, what's the deal with this Yun Dao friend? Getting even one Demonic Essence Fruit is hard, yet he wants three?"

"Second brother, this story is a bit long; let's talk in detail tonight. By the way, first go see Bai'er—she came with me."

"Bai'er came too?"

"Yeah."

Upon hearing Dongfang Bai was also present, Dongfang Huang immediately exclaimed in delight, this little princess of the Dongfang Family is dearly loved by the three brothers.

Immediately, the two brothers bade farewell to Yun Xiantai and the others, rushing to see Dongfang Bai.

Meanwhile, Medicine Cloud Peak hurriedly found the Grand Elder, but at this time he had already fallen into a coma, lying on the bed, his breath extremely faint.

Medicine Cloud Peak personally examined his body and gave him medicine, only then letting out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your trouble, Offering Master Lin."

Then he turned and bowed his thanks to Offering Master Lin; the latter naturally said it was nothing.

"By the way, how did he end up like this?"

Yao Yunfeng asked curiously; upon hearing that, Lin, the Offering Master, replied with a strange expression.

"This............ might be a bit hard to accept for a while."

"As soon as those words were spoken, Yao Yunfeng knew that Hong Zun was telling the truth—that kid really wasn't his bloodline."

"For a moment, thinking back to everything the Grand Elder had done for him in the past, Yao Yunfeng couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow."

"Over these years, the Grand Elder and I have been competing for power and profit; bluntly speaking, this child accounts for a large part of that."

"Precisely because this child is naturally decadent, the Grand Elder only wants to secure more benefits for him; thus, even if he later shows no outstanding talent in alchemy, at least within the Medicine King Pavilion he can still live somewhat comfortably."

"Perhaps that despicable person also hasn't been absent from stirring things up behind the scenes."

"Back then, Yao Yunfeng had already talked with the Grand Elder; after all, they were senior brothers, and he didn't want to make things too ugly."

"Looking back now, it's really laughable—for a child who isn't even his own bloodline, and whose origins are unknown, the Grand Elder has given so much."

"No wonder that after learning the truth, one cannot accept it; anyone would likely react the same."

"Thank you, Lin, the Offering Master; we just need to hold this place."

"Fine, just send someone to notify me if anything comes up."

"Thank you."

"Lin, the Offering Master, had already been standing guard here for a while; after Yao Yunfeng expressed his thanks, he too turned and left—Fàn diǎn was approaching, and he didn't know whether he'd get to eat today, after all, he had just gone through a battle."
