Chapter 76: Extend a Lifetime's Great Emperor Mandate

That old man, exposed, did not grow angry; the few of them had known each other for a long time, and though they belonged to different Holy Lands, they would not turn hostile over such a trifling matter.

Jiang Xuan acted as if he had not heard the two old men's words, continuing on his own to peel away the stone skin; when he peeled down to the stone heart, once again a dazzling divine light rushed straight up to the heavens, a fragrant aroma diffused, refreshing the heart and spleen, and everyone present was intoxicated by this fragrance, their bodies seeming to featherize and ascend to immortality.

"A peerless rare treasure, a peerless rare treasure, young man, sell it to this old man for eighty thousand jin of pure source, how about it?" That old man previously addressed as Lao Li spoke again.

The old man believed there must be an extraordinary divine object within the stone material, and hoped to buy it away with a high price.

"Young man, I offer one hundred thousand jin of source; this is already a very high price, sell it to this old man." The other old man was also burning with eagerness; this kind of fragrant aura was absolutely extraordinary, the possibility of a rare treasure within the stone material was very high.

"I want to keep it for myself."

Jiang Xuan smiled faintly; a mere one hundred thousand source, how could it compare to an Undead Divine Medicine, even a damaged Undead Divine Medicine.

"Little friend, you must know that a moment's luck does not represent constant luck; this kind of situation has not failed to appear before — when first cutting the stone material, auspicious signs descended from heaven, heavenly flowers fell in disorder, golden lotuses welled up from the earth, divine light ten thousand zhang; but as it was gradually cut open, in all likelihood it is merely the corner scraps of a peerless rare treasure. How about this: this old man sees you are not bad, willing to offer one hundred ten thousand jin of source, an extremely slim chance at a rare treasure, and one hundred ten thousand jin of source — I believe little friend is a wise person."

The last old man also joined in, stroking his beard with one hand, bearing the air of a transcendent immortal, looking as if he thought highly of Jiang Xuan as a fine young man, unwilling to let him miss a chance to strike it rich.

"Continue cutting stone; no one may run wild in the Dao Yi Stone Workshop." The Lao Dao Gu said indifferently, her words cold and overbearing.

Jiang Xuan took out the Ice Snow Source, continuing to peel the stone skin, layer after layer, until finally he peeled to the stone heart portion — instantly five-colored divine radiance burst forth, and once again a single thread of human-shaped light and shadow flew toward the Tianqiong.

Another piece of Ice Snow Source the size of a palm was exposed in the air, slightly larger than the previous piece, but at this moment everyone's attention was not on this piece of Ice Snow Source.

Inside the Ice Snow Source was sealed this blue root, but it had no branches or leaves.

"Alas, what a pity, so it truly is — this is not a complete Spirit Medicine, merely the corner scraps of a peerless rare treasure."

Everyone sighed in a wave; the hearts they had suspended finally died — this Spirit Medicine lacked the most critical fruit or leaf portion, its value shrinking countless times.

"Hmm, not right, this is not an ordinary Spirit Medicine, you all look — does the root portion of this Spirit Medicine not resemble a pair of feet?"

Someone among the onlooking crowd cried out in alarm, pointing above the Spirit Medicine's root.

Everyone looked closely again; this Spirit Medicine was truly too strange — above the pale blue root, connected a pair of stem-like structures shaped like foot soles, roughly an inch long, entirely silver-white, extremely brilliant and holy.

This Spirit Medicine absolutely has a great origin; the crowd pondered, what Spirit Medicine in all of history has roots shaped like human foot soles.

"Perhaps, it is that legendary Divine Medicine?" Someone in the crowd spoke softly with an uncertain tone.

"The legendary Divine Medicine?" The crowd was puzzled, very much wanting to know just what rare treasure it was.

"The Extreme Dao Great Emperor's exclusive Divine Medicine, the Human-shaped Undead Medicine!" That person slowly spoke the words.

"It is, it is — the medicine fragrance presses on one, the human-shaped light and shadow brilliant and soaring, the roots shaped like foot soles; it can only be the Undead Divine Medicine." The few old men were both excited and sighing; an Undead Divine Medicine is hard to find in ten thousand ages, an Extreme Path Supreme might not find a single stalk in a lifetime — only the one before their eyes is damaged too severely, missing the most important part, its value equivalent to an ordinary Medicine King, regrettable and lamentable.

"Hard to find in ten thousand ages, hard to find in ten thousand ages ah — unexpectedly just a damaged Divine Medicine, alas."

The onlooking crowd also let out a burst of lamentation, wringing their hands and sighing, as if they themselves had painfully lost a stalk of Undead Divine Medicine.

"Little friend, this old man is Li Yishui of the Illusion Extinction Palace; this stalk of Divine Medicine's remnant root, priced at fifty thousand jin of pure source, sell it to this old man." That first old man who wanted to buy spoke again.

"How come the price keeps getting lower? Just now weren't you offering one hundred thousand?" The onlooking crowd would not have it, not understanding why after cutting open the stone material and revealing the Divine Medicine's root, the price instead dropped.

"One time, another time; just now as the stone skin peeled off inch by inch, light ten thousand zhang, yet the true body had not shown — offering one hundred thousand jin of source, both sides had a gambling element; but now the Divine Medicine inside the source has fully appeared, the damage severe — this damaged Divine Medicine is only worth this price!" Li Yishui of the Illusion Extinction Palace explained leisurely.

Jiang Xuan's expression was calm, and he spoke:

"This stalk of damaged Divine Medicine, I intend to keep for myself." Finished speaking, he placed the Divine Medicine into a jade box; light flashed, and he received it into the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror.

The other two old men and the Lao Dao Gu of the Dao Yi Holy Land had originally prepared to speak and offer a price; seeing Jiang Xuan had not the slightest intention to sell, they said no more.

"Young man, don't aim too high; this old man will add another ten thousand jin of source — this is already the highest price." The Illusion Extinction Palace old man thought Jiang Xuan was putting on airs to drive up the price, and spoke resentfully, his face ugly.

"I already said, I intend to keep this Divine Medicine for myself; perhaps it can extend a lifetime's Great Emperor mandate for me." Jiang Xuan's face showed a serious color, and he spoke solemnly.

"???"

""

Everyone was utterly speechless — why don't you listen to what you yourself are saying, extend a lifetime's Great Emperor mandate, is that something you need to consider?

At this time, the news that someone had cut out an Undead Divine Medicine in the Dao Yi Stone Workshop spread like a hurricane throughout the entire Holy City. All major powers heard the news and rushed over, hoping to buy the ancient Divine Medicine.

"One hundred fifty thousand jin of source." A youth cultivating Imperial Dragon Qi in the crowd called out a very high price; he was a prince of the Central State Daxia Dynasty, wealthy and imposing, not verbose, directly speaking with source.

In the world of source people, speech has always been simple and unadorned.

"One hundred sixty thousand jin of source!" A representative of some unknown power, hardening his heart, gritted his teeth and called out one hundred sixty thousand jin of source.

"This stalk of medicine I intend to keep for myself." Jiang Xuan shook his head, repeating his previous words.

"One hundred sixty thousand jin of source already exceeds the value of this damaged Divine Medicine; this is a sky-high price, young man, you must cherish the opportunity before you, don't wait until you lose the chance to regret it too late."

"Sell it quickly, sell it quickly!" The onlooking crowd's cries rang out again, wishing they could agree on Jiang Xuan's behalf.

"Two hundred thousand jin of source!" The Daxia prince was simply lavish beyond humanity; high-end transactions often communicate in the most simple way — beside him a white-clothed, spirited little muddle-head's pair of large eyes rolled around, extremely eager to obtain the Divine Medicine.

Jiang Xuan simply no longer spoke; the damaged Divine Medicine, in his hand, he believed there would be a day when it would bloom with radiance — he could wait; never mind two hundred thousand jin of source, even two million jin, twenty million jin of source, what of it.

The crowd saw his attitude was firm, not seeming feigned, secretly thought a pity, and no longer offered prices — only quite a few power representatives' eyes flickered, as if plotting something.
