Chapter 21: Nine Dragons Swallow the Pearl
Hearing that Wang Yunfu wanted to invite me to give him a Palm Eye.
Jiangnan felt a spark of interest, thought it over repeatedly, and replied on the spot, "Hmm, okay."
"But if the item is not good, it won't pass my Fa Eye; you'd better be clear about that."
Jiangnan looked at Wang Yunfu and said very seriously.
"Of course. Young Master Jiang, rest assured, you'll definitely like that thing!"
"And your master, the old man, will like it too."
Hearing that, Jiangnan instantly felt a spark of interest.
"Oh, what exactly is this good thing? Tell me."
Jiangnan asked on the spot, because he was quite curious what the thing Wang Yunfu mentioned actually was, that would interest both his master and himself.
"Hehe, Young Master Jiang is actually interested. Why not take a look yourself? What I say here isn't as good as seeing it with your own eyes, even better."
Seeing this, Jiangnan cursed at him, "Hmph, no wonder you call yourself a sly old fox, Wang Yunfu. Fine, send the location over; I'll go check it out now."
Hearing that, Wang Yunfu immediately said to Jiangnan, "Alright, Young Master Jiang, hold on a moment."
After speaking, Wang Yunfu hung up and sent an address.
Wang Family Courtyard?
"Hehe, this old fox really seems to have found something good; otherwise he wouldn't have let us go to the Wang Family Courtyard."
Jiangnan murmured softly, then turned to Murong Wan and said, "I'm going out for a while; stay at home and wait for me to return."
"If you get bored, you can also go back to the Murong Group and help the Murong Family Head; after all, producing that pill is rather troublesome."
Hearing that, Murong Wan nodded and replied, "Okay, I understand. You may go."
Having said that, Jiangnan turned and was about to walk out.
However, at that moment.
"By the way, Jiangnan, my father asks what name we should give this pill; after all, if it's released to market, it can't go without a name."
Hearing Murong Wan ask, Jiangnan thought for a moment, then turned and said, "Let's call it Lingmiao Pill."
"It's just a name for the pill; what truly gives it value is its effect."
Afterwards, Jiangnan's figure vanished right outside Tianyu No. 1.
A short while later.
Jiangnan got into a car and headed toward the Wang Family Courtyard.
The Wang Family Courtyard is located in the central district of Jinghai City.
The Wang Family is one of the Jinghai Four Great Families, and its influence locally ranks among the top.
Otherwise, the Wang Family wouldn't be among the Four Great Families that dominate all the major families of Jinghai.
Even the newly risen Li Family looks completely insignificant before the Wang Family.
After all, the Four Great Families are the overlords of Jinghai!
Half an hour later, outside the Wang Family Courtyard.
Upon arriving, Jiangnan made a call, saying, "Hello, I'm here; come out and meet me."
Having said that, Jiangnan stood outside the Wang Family Courtyard, waiting for Wang Yunfu to come out and meet him.
About a minute later, Wang Yunfu, dressed in a suit with a high pompadour, rushed out, walked up to Jiangnan, and said respectfully, "Young Master Jiang, finally you're here!"
"I was entertaining other guests earlier and neglected you; please don't be angry, Young Master Jiang. I've already prepared for you your favorite Taiping Houkui Tea. This tea is far tastier than those on the market, and even more valuable."
Wang Yunfu faced Jiangnan with a flattering smile.
Hearing that, Jiangnan nodded appreciatively and said, "You've got the spirit, kid. Alright, let's go in."
After saying that, Jiangnan followed Wang Yunfu inside on the spot.
As they walked, Wang Yunfu introduced the people inside to Jiangnan.
"Young Master Jiang, the people who came to see my treasure today have quite notable backgrounds; I hope you'll give them some face. If they bother you, just don't kill them."
"As for how you'd like to beat them, I'll pretend I didn't see it. After all, if you offend me, getting beaten is deserved."
Wang Yunfu reminded Jiangnan.
Seeing that, Jiangnan didn't say much, just nodded and said, "Hmm, but if they anger me too much, I won't be able to stop, and that could indeed cause deaths."
Having said that, Wang Yunfu led Jiangnan into the Wang Family Hall.
At this moment, the Wang Family Hall was already filled with people.
The seat of honor was empty, and beneath it, four seats were occupied by two elders and two middle‑aged men.
Seeing the aura emanating from the two elders, Jiangnan thought to himself, "Two masters, interesting."
Then Jiangnan's gaze fell on the two middle‑aged men.
Jiangnan naturally recognized those two middle‑aged men.
One is the president of the Jianbao Guild in Jinghai City, the other is Dingtian Yun, who claims the title Jianbao Divine Eye.
As for the other two masters, Jiangnan hadn't seen them before, but their strength seemed decent; he wondered whether they could last a round under his hand.
When Wang Yunfu saw everyone gathered, he immediately took the seat of honor.
"Everyone, now that all of you are present, I'll bring out my treasure."
Wang Yunfu said to the crowd and made a grand sweeping gesture.
The servant behind him, seeing Wang Yunfu's wave, immediately stepped out.
Half a minute later.
The servant dragged a round disc covered with a red cloth toward this side.
"Uncover it."
At Wang Yunfu's command, the servant instantly lifted the red cloth.
The next second.
After the red cloth was lifted, they saw a Jiulong Swallowing Pearl statue coiled around the pillar.
And this statue was precisely the treasure Wang Yunfu wanted them to Palm Eye, called Jiulong Swallowing Pearl!
"Old Wang, this is the treasure you mentioned, isn't it just an ordinary sculpture? Though the craftsmanship and technique are quite good, can this really be called a treasure?"
Xiang Tianyun suddenly spoke, a look of disdain flashing in their eyes.
Hearing that, Wang Yunfu smiled, then immediately walked to the treasure, lifted one hand slightly upward.
The next moment!
The sculpture, which had seemed like a lifeless object, suddenly became vivid, and the nine divine dragons coiled around the pillar began to move, roaring continuously!
The two masters present, the Guild President of the Jianbao Guild, and Xiang Tianyun, upon seeing this scene, were all stunned on the spot, their eyes showing a flash of astonishment.
"Wow, Old Wang, this treasure really is something!"
"Where did you source it from? Tell me quickly, I'll go get one too."
Guild President Chu Qingshan of the Jianbao Guild, his face full of excitement, asked Wang Yunfu.
