Chapter 353

"Soul-Returning Pill?"

The name of this pill was so unique that, upon hearing Li Lianhua speak it, everyone was shocked!

At the same time, Xu Fengnian also looked excited as he turned to Li Lianhua and said, "Divine Doctor Li, the Soul-Returning Pill you mentioned—what is the effect of this pill?"

Although one could roughly guess what kind of effect this so-called Soul-Returning Pill had just from its name!

Still, Xu Fengnian found it somewhat hard to believe and asked Li Lianhua to confirm.

"Correct. The medicinal effect of this Soul-Returning Pill is exactly what the name implies: it can bring the dead back to life!" Li Lianhua nodded, giving Xu Fengnian a definitive answer!

Boom!

Although everyone present already had a rough guess in their hearts regarding the medicinal effect of this so-called Soul-Returning Pill!

However, it was one thing to guess it oneself, but it was another matter entirely for Li Lianhua to admit it himself!

Hearing Li Lianhua nod in confirmation, everyone felt as if a thunderclap had struck on flat ground; this news was so explosive that everyone present felt their minds go blank!

"It's actually… actually true? Bringing the dead back to life? Divine Doctor Li, you… you actually possess the means to bring the dead back to life?"

Stuttering, Xu Fengnian looked at Li Lianhua in shock, unable to speak clearly!

"Bringing the dead back to life—such a feat isn't really that surprising, is it?"

However, regarding Xu Fengnian's shock, Li Lianhua merely waved his hand, looking indifferent!

Indeed, even without himself, there were already means to bring the dead back to life in this Comprehensive Martial Arts World!

To say nothing else, take Ding Dian, whom he had encountered earlier; the Divine Illumination Canon he practiced possessed the property of bringing the dead back to life!

In the original story, Di Yun hanged himself, his body went stiff, and even lividity had set in!

Yet what happened? Ding Dian used the techniques of the Divine Illumination Canon to bring the hanged Di Yun back to life.

If this isn't a means of bringing the dead back to life, then what is?

And then there is Di Shitian, who has lived for two thousand years; his Holy Heart Art also possesses the means to bring the dead back to life!

In the original story, Second Dream died, yet Di Shitian dug up the grave of Nie Feng's wife, Second Dream, and successfully resurrected her.

This is also a means of bringing the dead back to life, right?

And then there is the treasure of the Water Moon Cave Heaven, the Spirit Mirror; in the original story, Tong Bo had already died after his battle with Yin Zhong!

Yet, that Granny Long struck the Spirit Mirror with a blade, shouting to trade life for life, using her own life to exchange for Tong Bo's!

In the end, Tong Bo was truly resurrected!

This also counts as a means of bringing the dead back to life, right?

Therefore, even without his own Soul-Returning Pill, there are already several means in this world that can resurrect the dead.

So, in Li Lianhua's view, this means of bringing the dead back to life isn't really worth being surprised about, is it?

Look at that, is that even human talk?

However, although Li Lianhua spoke nonchalantly, his words sounded incredibly grating to the ears of Xu Fengnian and the others!

Good heavens, a means to bring the dead back to life, and yet in Li Lianhua's mouth, he says there's no need to be too surprised?

Are you sure this isn't humble-bragging?

Although Xu Fengnian and the others had no idea what the word "humble-bragging" meant, it didn't stop them from thinking that Li Lianhua was indeed humble-bragging!

"Divine Doctor Li, I need you to give me a Soul-Returning Pill. No matter what price I have to pay, I am willing!" Xu Fengnian's expression was serious!

At this moment, Xu Fengnian had no mind to care whether Li Lianhua's words were humble-bragging or not!

After learning the specific effects of the Soul-Returning Pill, Xu Fengnian shouted at Li Lianhua with extreme excitement!

Old Huang had already died in Wudicheng!

If he could obtain this Soul-Returning Pill, wouldn't he have hope of resurrecting Old Huang?

Therefore, Xu Fengnian naturally wanted to obtain such a Soul-Returning Pill at all costs!

Moreover, a Soul-Returning Pill that could bring the dead back to life—even if he thought with his toes, Xu Fengnian could guess that this pill must be incredibly precious!

But so what?

In Xu Fengnian's view, no matter how precious it was, he was determined to obtain this Soul-Returning Pill!

"You currently have nothing of value left on you. This Soul-Returning Pill is so precious that it cannot be given away casually. You had better think about what you can use to purchase the Soul-Returning Pill first!"

However, although Xu Fengnian's words sounded pleasant, Li Lianhua had no intention of rushing to hand the Soul-Returning Pill over to Xu Fengnian!

As he spoke, Li Lianhua's gaze turned toward Li Chungang, who was standing to the side!

Understanding what Li Lianhua's gaze meant, Li Chungang was quite straightforward; having no intention of wasting words, he directly asked for some paper and a brush.

He wrote down one of his sword moves and then sent it before Li Lianhua: "Divine Doctor Li, I heard that you accept martial arts manuals as consultation fees, is that right?"

"I have a sword formula here, which is the most powerful sword move of my life!"

"It is called: One Sword Opens the Tianmen!"

"I will use this move as the consultation fee now; I wonder if Divine Doctor Li is satisfied?"

Hearing what Li Chungang said, Li Lianhua's eyes lit up. Li Chungang's One Sword Opens the Tianmen? This is good stuff!

After taking the One Sword Opens the Tianmen, Li Lianhua carefully estimated its value!

Good heavens, it's worth 460,000 taels of silver!

This is truly high; it's equivalent to four or five copies of the Star-Sucking Great Art, nearly three copies of the Sorrowful Wind and White Poplar—this is truly high!

However, thinking about it, this is Li Chungang's One Sword Opens the Tianmen!

Is it strange that it has such a high value?

Thinking about it carefully, he felt there was nothing strange about it at all!

Good heavens! Is today really his lucky day?

For a mere 20,000 taels of silver in consultation fees, he had been stuck for so many days without any harvest!

But today? Not only did he finally gather the last 20,000 taels of silver in consultation fees and open a Gold-tier treasure chest.

But he even easily brushed out 640,000 taels of silver worth of treasures from Xu Fengnian and Li Chungang?

So? He had completed more than half the distance to the 1,000,000-tael Gold-tier treasure chest!

"If earning consultation fees were always this easy in the future, I could save up my fees and look at that Diamond-tier treasure chest!"

Although obtaining 640,000 taels of silver in consultation fees so easily did indeed make Li Lianhua feel happy!

However, precisely because he had obtained such a huge sum of consultation fees so easily, Li Lianhua couldn't help but set his sights on the higher-level Diamond-tier treasure chest!

..... 0 0

A Diamond-tier treasure chest costs 10,000,000 taels of silver each.

Ten times the price of a Gold-tier chest—I wonder what quality of treasure it can produce?

Just thinking about it made Li Lianhua's heart tremble, and at the same time, he felt very curious and expectant!

This chance encounter on the road was naturally good news for Xu Fengnian and his party!

On one hand, Xu Fengnian and the others obtained the Youth-Preserving Pill, and on the other hand, Li Chungang had his severed limb reattached!

"Divine Doctor Li, perhaps you don't know yet?"

At this moment, Xu Fengnian spoke, his expression somewhat dejected: "Old Huang went to Wudicheng to duel Wang Xianzhi, and then died in Wudicheng!"

"My purpose in going to the East Sea Wudicheng this time was actually to retrieve Old Huang's sword box!"

"Now that you have the Soul-Returning Pill, I naturally want to resurrect him!"

"Therefore, I am determined to obtain this Soul-Returning Pill of yours!"

"Divine Doctor Li, I am willing to spend 3,000,000—no, 5,000,000 taels of silver to purchase this Soul-Returning Pill!"

"This is all the wealth I can mobilize!"

"Once I return to Northern Liang, Divine Doctor Li, you can come to Northern Liang to collect this consultation fee at any time, how about that?"

For the first time, the look in Xu Fengnian's eyes as he looked at Li Lianhua revealed a pleading expression!

"5,000,000 taels, that's what you said!" Hearing Xu Fengnian's promise and seeing the pleading look in his eyes, Li Lianhua spoke!

As he spoke, he brushed his hand over his storage ring, and immediately, a Soul-Returning Pill appeared in Li Lianhua's hand, which he tossed to Xu Fengnian!

Good heavens, he was originally still wondering if he would have a chance to gather 10,000,000 taels of silver to open a Diamond-tier treasure chest and see.

But the 10,000,000 taels of silver consultation fee had made him retreat in the face of difficulty!

Now, Xu Fengnian had directly offered a sky-high price of 5,000,000?

Then excuse him, since someone had already solved half of his problem, he would naturally have to gather the 10,000,000 taels of silver consultation fee to give it a try!
