Colorful Cloud Dew was precious because it was extremely rare, almost a legendary existence, with each drop being extremely valuable.
Not only did Yang Zhen use Colorful Cloud Dew as mouthwash, but the bastard spat out a perfect arc rainbow-shaped water column. His move simply stole the show. If it wasn’t for Medicine Elder’s accurate catch, those tens of drops would have been entirely wasted.
Everyone held their breath, staring fixedly at the broken pot in Yang Zhen’s hand without blinking.
Why did they not stare at the jade bottle in Medicine Elder’s hand?
Bullshit, the broken pot in Yang Zhen’s hand was filled with Colorful Cloud Dew. If it was filled into the thumb-sized jade bottle in Xiao Ji’s hand, it would probably fill hundreds of bottles.
Moreover, the jerk Yang Zhen held the pot carelessly, the Colorful Cloud Dew inside was nearly spilling out. Every time Yang Zhen moved, the Cloud Dew swayed to the edge of the pot causing several people to scream out, their hearts almost stopping.
“Kid, don’t rock it, don’t rock it, if it spills… Oh no!” Medicine Elder, following beside Yang Zhen, was fuming with rage and anxiety on his face, even more serious than when his own wife was giving birth.
The chief national teacher of Dajiang country opened his squinted eyes slightly, glanced at Yang Zhen, then at Xiao Ji whose face had turned pale, and closed his eyes again.
Xiao Ji snorted, opened the second box, and a burst of refreshing fragrance suddenly hit their faces, filling the entire hall in the blink of an eye, causing exclamations from the crowd.
“What is this? It smells so fragrant like orchid, it must be an incredible treasure.”
“I have to say, Yang Zhen is really lucky to have so much Colorful Cloud Dew. He must have obtained it unintentionally from the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower.”
“That’s probably it, but when we entered the third world of the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, an incident had already occurred. Yang Zhen might have simply gotten lucky to find so much Colorful Cloud Dew, other things are not necessarily so.”
“What do you mean not necessarily? So many practitioners entered, yet only a handful of them got good things. Yang Zhen must not have any other good things.”
Hearing the surrounding discussion, Xiao Ji’s face gradually recovered. He turned around and bowed to Hua Jingshan, “Uncle Hua, the items inside aren’t just obtained by sheer luck!”
After saying this, Xiao Ji cast a sideways glance at Yang Zhen, and took out a crystal-clear pill!
“Seven-Star Spiritual Awakening Pill!” Medicine Elder’s face changed drastically, staring incredulously at the pill in Xiao Ji’s hand.
The pill was crystal clear, emitting luminous rays and a refreshing fragrance. The seven star patterns inside it were faintly visible, bright and dazzling, a feast for the eyes.
“Exactly!” Xiao Ji laughed, “This Seven-Star Spiritual Awakening Pill was obtained when I visited the Alchemist Refining Grandmaster Gu Xinghe. It allows people to open up their spiritual sea and cultivate the power of spiritual consciousness even before reaching the Nascent Soul Stage!”
At these words, everyone present gasped.
Below the Nascent Soul Stage, including the Nascent Soul Stage, it was not easy to open up a spiritual sea, let alone cultivating the power of spiritual consciousness.
The power of spiritual consciousness and the power of the spirit soul were different. Although the power of the spirit soul was a strong force, it could only be used to enhance the practitioner’s spiritual resistance. The power of spiritual consciousness, on the other hand, had countless variations, and its uses were infinite.
Although it was not impossible to open up a spiritual sea at the Nascent Soul stage, it was too difficult. The painful ordeal was often unpredictable, and unsuccessful in most cases.
Therefore, the number of people who opened up a spiritual sea at the Nascent Soul stage could be counted on one hand. Even Hua Youyue, despite her extraordinary talent, dared not try it easily. The key was that even if you forcibly opened up a spiritual sea, you could only increase the power of the spirit soul and could not actively cultivate the power of spiritual consciousness.
But with the Seven-Star Spiritual Awakening Pill, it was different. There was a high chance of successfully opening up a spiritual sea at the Nascent Soul stage, and even lead out a strand of spiritual consciousness power.
Even though all present knew that Xiao Ji and others had brought astonishing betrothal gifts. They hadn’t expected that in addition to the Sky Spring Dew, they also brought a Seven-Star Spiritual Awakening Pill, which was truly eye-opening.
Xiao Ji seemed quite satisfied with the reaction of those present, and said to Hua Youyue, who also seemed somewhat surprised, “I would like to present this hard-earned Seven-Star Spiritual Awakening Pill to Youyue to aid her in opening up her spiritual sea!”
Hiss!
All present involuntarily sucked in a breath, looking at Hua Youyue with envy. Especially those disciples of the Hua family who had not yet opened up their spiritual seas, their eyes were filled with intense envy.
Hua Jingshan nodded, apparently quite satisfied with Xiao Ji’s style.
In reality, in order to help Hua Youyue develop her Spirit Sea, the Hua Family had tried too many methods, obtained various kinds of materials, but they could not find a foolproof strategy.
The Seven-star Elixir was too hard to come by. Those capable of refining it were all Alchemist Refining Grandmasters, even Medicine Elder could not refine it.
Everyone suddenly understood, no wonder Xiao Ji had said that this object was not something you could get merely by having good luck.
Even if Yang Zhen’s luck was extremely good, it was still impossible for him to be acquainted with an Alchemist Refining Grandmaster, and also gather enough materials to commission the Alchemist Refining Grandmaster to refine a seven-star-ranked elixir for him.
The people who were holding out hope for Yang Zhen now all sighed. The moment the Seven-star Elixir appeared, Yang Zhen was bound to lose this round!
Seeing Xiao Ji refocusing his gaze on Yang Zhen, everyone in the area looked over too. At some point, Yang Zhen had already tucked away the broken pottery container, and in his hand was what appeared to be something akin to a cucumber that he was chewing, making a loud crunching sound, and it seemed delicious.
People exchanged glances, some frowning.
At such a tense and serious moment, Yang Zhen actually had the mood to eat, and it was even a cucumber, this was simply too outlandish!
Yang Zhen seemed oblivious to the surrounding gazes, looking at Xiao Ji, he lifted up the one-foot-long ‘cucumber’ in his hand and asked, “The success rate of your Seven-star Elixir in developing a Spirit Sea is how much? By how many points can it lessen the pain?”
Xiao Ji coldly huffed, saying, “The success rate of the Seven-star Elixir in developing a Spirit Sea is as high as 70%. As for the pain, we Practitioners follow the course of nature. What counts as suffering? Without experiencing suffering, how can one attain the highest realm?”
Yang Zhen burst into loud laughter, sarcastically saying, “What utter bullshit, why must one experience suffering to achieve a high realm?”
Xiao Ji was momentarily taken aback, trying to speak but was interrupted as Yang Zhen flicked his ‘cucumber’, then said, “Moreover, with just a 70% success rate, one yet has to endure complete suffering, only a fool would consume your worthless stuff.”
Worthless stuff?
When this was said, everyone present almost cursed out loud.
Yang Zhen this bumpkin really had a blinkered view, a 70% success rate was already making countless others vie for it. Where in the world is there something that could enable 100% successful development of a Spirit Sea and also rid one of suffering?
“Yang Zhen, don’t overreach. A 70% success rate is already very significant. What Xiao Ji said is not wrong. Without experiencing suffering, how can one be reborn to greatness?” Hua Jingshan admonished calmly, but his face no longer showed any dismissive attitude toward Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen burst into loud laughter, walked up to the puzzled Hua Youyue, wiped his ‘cucumber’ on his sleeve and gently said, “Come, young lady, obediently open your mouth, put it in!”
“Yang Zhen, what are you doing?” Hua Youyue asked with her rosy face, glaring at Yang Zhen.
Xiao Ji sternly looked at Yang Zhen and said in a deep voice, “Yang Zhen, this is a competition between you and me. Don’t do some irrelevant stupid things!” Yang Zhen spat out a sound, without turning his head he said, “This is stupid? In this entire room, you are the only fool!”
After saying that, Yang Zhen took the ‘cucumber’ to Hua Youyue’s mouth, saying, “Come, take a bite, show this fool what real success looks like!”
Hua Youyue looked at Hua Jingshan and hesitated to speak.
“Quick, open your mouth, take a bite!”
Suddenly, Medicine Elder exclaimed, startling everyone.
Following him, Princess Changfeng suddenly stood up, her eyes flashing with a surprised look, she softly said, “Sister Youyue, quickly, open your mouth, take a bite!”
Hua Youyue was at a loss and appeared somewhat helpless, not knowing what had happened.
“If you don’t eat it now, I’ll put it away!” Yang Zhen blinked.
The Great Clan Elder suddenly shook, a shocked look flashing in his eyes, and he urgently said, “Quick, girl Youyue, open your mouth, take a bite!”
The smile on Xiao Ji’s face gradually froze. If he still didn’t realize something was wrong at this time, he was no different from an idiot. He turned his head and dully asked the Sage of Dajiang Country, “Master…. Master, what is that?”
