648: Chapter 648 Identifying the Precious Elixir

"Many thanks, Emperor of Da Gan!" Hun Tiandi said with a slight bow.

"It is rumored that you, Mister Hun, have obtained a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill. I wonder if it is true?" a young official nearby said with a sarcastic tone.

A Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill? The court officials were stunned, their eyes burning as they looked at Hun Tiandi.

"This official, what should I call you?" Hun Tiandi asked.

Upon hearing this, the corners of Marquis Mu Yuan's mouth twitched wildly. This person was truly interesting; he was clearly doing this on purpose.

"I am Dai Wei, the Third-Rank Minister of the Grand Court of Justice of the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty!" the young man, Dai Wei, said in a deep voice.

"Hmm, Minister of the Grand Court of Justice. Hun Tiandi has noted it down. It's good to know an official of the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty. When you have time, come visit the side hall. Hun Tiandi loves making friends!"

Hun Tiandi wore a smile, but did not mention the matter of the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill.

Everyone in the court was suddenly dumbfounded. What was this nonsense? Someone asked about the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, yet he was trying to make friends?

What kind of friend was that!

"Hun Tiandi, I have heard that you obtained a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill that can extend one's Lifespan by a thousand years. Is it true?" Nian Haocang said with authority.

In the royal court, the eyes of all the officials were fixed on Hun Tiandi.

"Reporting to Emperor of Da Gan, that is absolutely not the case!" Hun Tiandi denied it flatly.

Such a crisp and clean denial left the court officials quite angry.

"You're lying!" Dai Wei shouted angrily, but Hun Tiandi ignored him completely.

"However, I have indeed obtained a miraculous treasure. Whether it is a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, I am not sure. I heard that as long as one consumes this item, it will increase one's Lifespan by at least a thousand years. I do not know if it is true or false!"

Hun Tiandi spoke again, dropping a bombshell.

Wow...

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the court as everyone whispered to each other. So it really existed—something that could increase one's Lifespan by a thousand years? A Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill?

"Oh?" Nian Haocang said, slightly stunned.

"My eyes are dull, so I wonder if I might ask Emperor of Da Gan, to discern its effects?" Hun Tiandi asked.

As his voice fell, everyone's gaze landed on Nian Haocang. Even the Minister of the Grand Court of Justice fell silent.

"Very well!" Nian Haocang said directly.

"That object resembles a Soul body and cannot be stored in a storage ring. It is waiting outside the Gantian Holy Palace, being dragged by one of my subordinates. I ask for Your Majesty's permission to bring it in!" Hun Tiandi said slowly.

"Granted!"

Immediately, Liu Ling walked into the Gantian Holy Capital, dragging a golden tray upon which sat a crystal cover adorned with nine Dragons.

In an instant, everyone's gaze fell upon the crystal cover with the nine Dragons.

A Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill? The power to extend one's Lifespan?

Everyone in the court was looking at Liu Ling. None of those who could attend the court were without great power, and their bodies radiated an infinite Aura.

It was not just the Aura of cultivation, but also official authority and power.

They pressed down upon Liu Ling; if it were a normal person, they would have long been frightened into retreating.

But Liu Ling held his head high and chest out, showing no fear whatsoever, confident and composed.

"Emperor of Da Gan, please take a look!" Hun Tiandi said with a smile as he reached out to remove the nine-Dragon crystal cover.

This cover could isolate Soul Power, so no one knew what was inside.

As Hun Tiandi lifted it, a flash of blood-red light appeared, and everyone was dumbfounded.

What was that thing? A baby?

On the tray sat a fist-sized baby, the corners of its mouth curled into a cold, sinister smile, its body surrounded by a faint blood-colored halo, appearing incredibly eerie and evil.

Everyone felt a wave of evil Qi rushing towards them.

"What is this thing? It's so evil!"

"No, that's not a baby!"

Everyone was stunned, unable to tell what this thing was.

"Emperor of Da Gan, please take a look. This is the item I obtained. Hun Tiandi only heard that it could extend one's Lifespan by a thousand years; I do not know if it is true or false. I ask Emperor of Da Gan, to enlighten me!"

Hun Tiandi said with a smile.

Upon seeing this item, Nian Haocang's eyes instinctively narrowed. He recognized this blood pill.

"Where did you get this from?" Nian Haocang asked.

"It was found in a valley near the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty, at the headquarters of the Blood Feather Mercenaries!" Hun Tiandi said truthfully.

The headquarters of the Blood Feather Mercenaries? Nian Haocang smiled slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"Emperor of Da Gan, may I ask if the information I know is true? Does this thing really have this effect?" Hun Tiandi asked.

"Yes, it can increase one's Lifespan by a thousand years!" Nian Haocang nodded and said.

Wow...

Once these words were spoken, the officials could no longer restrain themselves, and a cacophony of voices erupted. It was true! It really had the effect of extending one's Lifespan by a thousand years.

"Hun Tiandi, do you intend to present it to His Majesty?" the Minister of the Grand Court of Justice suddenly asked.

Everyone frowned. They did not want it to be given to Nian Haocang, but no one dared to show it.

"Minister of the Grand Court of Justice?" Hun Tiandi asked, looking at Dai Wei in confusion.

"Hmm?" Dai Wei frowned, looking puzzled.

"This is my item, and it is not for you to decide!" Hun Tiandi said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, the officials breathed a sigh of relief. Although they might not get it, and no one knew what would happen in the future, as long as it wasn't presented to His Majesty, they still had a chance.

"Many thanks to Emperor of Da Gan, for identifying this treasure for Hun Tiandi!" Hun Tiandi bowed slightly again.

Nian Haocang looked at Hun Tiandi. The previous words had not yet been finished; it was rumored that Hun Tiandi wanted to use this treasure to exchange for something with him?

"Reporting to Emperor of Da Gan, Hun Tiandi has a wife currently in the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty. I hope that Your Majesty can bestow a blessing upon us, the married couple, and allow Hun Tiandi to take his wife home!" Hun Tiandi said earnestly.

After he finished, everyone in the court was suddenly shocked.

Asking His Majesty for a blessing? A married couple? What was all this?

Nian Haocang seemed to know, a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes, but he still asked: "Who is your wife?"

Everyone turned to look at Hun Tiandi. Yes, who was his wife? How did she come to the Gantian Holy Capital? And why ask His Majesty for a blessing?

"Princess Youyou of the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty!"

Wow...

The court once again erupted in a clamor. Princess Youyou? He was truly bold.

What was this Hun Tiandi doing? Proposing marriage? Since when did Princess Youyou become his wife?

"How bold! Since when did Princess Youyou become your wife? Are you trying to ruin the prestige of Dagan?" The Minister of the Grand Court of Justice, Dai Wei, jumped out again to scold him.

"Emperor of Da Gan, Princess Youyou and I are in love. Hun Tiandi is willing to exchange this Treasure Pill to take Princess Youyou home with me!" Hun Tiandi said with a solemn face.

The atmosphere in the court became strange. Dai Wei scolded Hun Tiandi, but he remained calm in the face of danger, asking His Majesty for Princess Youyou?

Willing to exchange it for a life-extending Treasure Pill?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Saint of the Cangtian Sect, Cang Chengjun, is already waiting outside the palace!" Suddenly, a eunuch entered the hall and said respectfully.

"Huh?" The court officials raised their eyebrows.

The matter wasn't over yet?

"Summon him!" Nian Haocang said again.

"Summon the Saint of Cangtian, Cang Chengjun, to enter the hall!"

Hun Tiandi turned his head to look. At this critical moment, being interrupted by someone, he couldn't help but feel a bit of anger in his heart.

The person who arrived was wearing a magnificent golden robe; it was indeed the Saint of Cangtian, Cang Chengjun, whom he had seen earlier at Princess Youyou's residence.

"Cang Chengjun pays his respects to Emperor of Da Gan!" Cang Chengjun bowed to Nian Haocang.

"Hmm!" Nian Haocang nodded.

"Saint of Cangtian? What is the matter?"

"Reporting to Emperor of Da Gan, acting on the order of the Sect Master, I have come to Dagan to seek the hand of Princess Youyou!" Cang Chengjun said, getting straight to the point.

Wow...

The court officials all looked strange, their eyes filled with peculiar expressions. On one side was Hun Tiandi's wife? With no result yet, another suitor had appeared halfway?

The officials on both sides discussed it, looking at the two men in the center with expressions of astonishment.

Perhaps this was the most sensational event in the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty.

"Princess Youyou is a princess of the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty and has the right to choose her Dao Companion. I will give you both six months!"

"There will be a literary test and a martial test to determine the best candidate, and I will grant you a marriage!"

Nian Haocang pondered slightly, the trace of reluctance in his eyes turning into a faint smile.

This matter was considered settled. The officials sighed in admiration; His Majesty truly had a way.

Whoever won, the other could only be considered incompetent and could blame no one else. As for the Treasure Pill, they would have to think of another way.

"May I ask Emperor of Da Gan, who will judge the results of the literary and martial tests?" Cang Chengjun asked.

"Naturally, Princess Youyou will judge!" Nian Haocang said.

Hun Tiandi retreated to the side, eyes focused on his nose and heart, silent and speechless.

Nian Haocang glanced at Hun Tiandi, revealing a mysterious smile: "Court dismissed!"
