32: The head of the Li family!

At an auction, Jiang Ning only bought a Body Tempering cultivation technique.

He was greatly disappointed.

He had originally thought that two thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones wouldn't be enough, and he would have to use Qi Condensation Pills to make up the difference, but he didn't expect such a result.

The scattered guests on the first floor gradually left.

Jiang Ning sighed.

“Let’s go. It’s actually quite lucky that we came this time. At least we found a Body Tempering cultivation technique for you.”

Shen Jinhuan nodded.

She felt a faint anticipation in her heart. She knew that if Jiang Ning could buy this Body Tempering cultivation technique, he must have some confidence.

Unknowingly, Shen Jinhuan didn't realize that her trust in Jiang Ning had reached such a level.

The two of them got up and walked out of the private room.

Pushing open the door.

The scene in front of the door made Jiang Ning frown, and the Golden Core in his body began to tremble, ready to fight at any moment.

Shen Jinhuan was a little surprised.

She didn't expect that this Body Tempering cultivation technique, which cost one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, had no one bidding for it during the auction, but there were people waiting for it outside.

“Senior, please don’t be offended!”

The ticket seller who had previously sold Jiang Ning a “golden invitation” ran out.

He smiled and introduced the two people standing at the door.

“This is Li Tingyue, the current Li Family Head of my Li family, and this is the Li Family Head’s daughter, the Young Miss of the Li family, Li Yunxi.”

Jiang Ning suddenly understood.

No wonder only the Lingwu Auction House knew his whereabouts. It turned out to be the Li Family Head.

He looked at the man who appeared to be around thirty years old.

The man was dressed in a green robe, with a black jade pendant at his waist, elegant but not effeminate.

This was the Li Family Head, the head of the three great families of Lingwu City?

Then he looked at the young woman beside the man.

She was probably only two years older than Shen Jinhuan.

Her beautiful face carried a sickly pallor, her brows were tightly furrowed, and she always looked melancholic.

She wore a light yellow long dress, her figure was graceful, and she already had some beautiful curves.

However, the young woman's Qi was weak. Although she was at the Late Stage of Body Tempering, her Qi was so faint that it seemed as if she would die at any moment.

After the “ticket seller” finished his introduction, Li Tingyue bowed to Jiang Ning.

“Fellow Daoist, please don’t be offended. Tingyue knows that this violates the rules of Lingwu City, but if it weren’t for an urgent matter, I wouldn’t do this.”

He looked at his daughter beside him, his face filled with sorrow.

“Three years ago, during a training expedition, my daughter was poisoned. The opponent was a very skilled poison cultivator who placed a poison in my daughter’s body.

In these three years, I have sought out many famous doctors and even asked the Golden Core Old Ancestor of our family to help, but all were powerless.

I accidentally obtained a Human Pill Technique, which states that it can refine a person like Alchemy, removing the Impurities within them.

I asked the Old Ancestor, and the Old Ancestor said that this Body Tempering cultivation technique might be able to refine the toxins out of my daughter’s body.

There was a method, but there was no one who could implement this Human Pill Technique.

As a last resort, I thought of putting the Body Tempering cultivation technique up for auction, waiting for a master to buy it, and then I would seek a glimmer of hope for my daughter.

I hope Fellow Daoist will not be offended by this sudden visit.

After this matter, the Li family is willing to offer compensation as an apology.”

Jiang Ning suddenly understood.

Li Tingyue was putting this Human Pill Technique up for auction to find someone who could implement this Body Tempering cultivation technique.

It must be said that this was a very clever method.

Because those who chose to bid for this Body Tempering cultivation technique would surely have some method or means to realize its profound mysteries.

Shen Jinhuan looked up and observed Li Yunxi beside Li Tingyue.

The other party was sickly, feeling as if she might gasp at any moment.

Seeing Jiang Ning's silence.

Li Tingyue bowed again.

“Fellow Daoist, I see that you are also looking for a suitable Body Tempering cultivation technique for the girl beside you. If Fellow Daoist is willing to help my daughter, even if it doesn’t succeed,

my Li family is willing to present our Li family’s Body Tempering cultivation technique to you!”

“In addition, Fellow Daoist can name any conditions. As long as the Li family has it, I will present it with both hands. If the Li family doesn’t have it, I will also try my best to send people to find it!”

“Fellow Daoist, you are too kind.”

Jiang Ning waved his hand, smiling as he took out the golden invitation from his Storage Pouch.

“When I entered the city, I received care from the Li family at Wanbao Pavilion, which can be considered a good connection. To be honest, I do have some confidence in this Human Pill Technique.”

“But I observe that your esteemed daughter is in critical condition. This Human Pill Technique is overbearing. Can your esteemed daughter withstand it?”

Li Tingyue was overjoyed when he saw Jiang Ning take out the golden invitation.

He didn’t expect Wanbao Pavilion to have such a good connection today.

Hearing Jiang Ning mention the Human Pill Technique, he was even more delighted, and his whole body became excited.

“Fellow Daoist, you do not know, my daughter is currently relying on Medicinal Pills to sustain her life. Instead of dying like this, it is better to give it a try. It is better than just dying like this.”

Li Yunxi, who had not spoken, now gracefully performed a bow.

“Please help me, Senior. If Xi’er dies in this process, then it is heaven’s will to destroy me.

My father and I can make a Heart Demon oath that if this matter fails, we will never blame Senior!”

After speaking, Li Yunxi seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and her Qi became even weaker.

Jiang Ning understood.

This was a plan to go all out.

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and decided to agree.

This way, before using the Human Pill Technique on the young girl, he would have an additional “guinea pig.”

If Li Yunxi could withstand this Human Pill Technique, then Shen Jinhuan should also be able to withstand it.

Moreover, the Li family was the foremost family in Lingwu City. If he wanted to find Heaven And Earth Treasures beneficial for Golden Core cultivation, asking the Li family for information would be the most convenient.

Thinking of this.

Jiang Ning took a deep breath.

“Then I will do my best to try, but I only have an idea. I need to go back and do some research. I will give Fellow Daoist an accurate message before sunset tomorrow.”

“No problem! Fellow Daoist’s agreement is already a huge surprise for us father and daughter!”

With a glimmer of hope, the stone in Li Tingyue’s heart was somewhat removed.

He didn’t expect that as soon as he put this Body Tempering cultivation technique in the auction house, someone would have the confidence to implement this Human Pill Technique.

Was heaven pitying his daughter?!

Jiang Ning nodded.

The group walked downstairs.

Originally, Jiang Ning had wanted to go to Wanbao Pavilion to find a Pill Furnace that could accommodate one person, but now thinking that the Li Family Head was here, it wouldn’t be so troublesome.

Jiang Ning said, “Fellow Daoist, this Human Pill Technique requires a Pill Furnace that can accommodate one person. My Pill Furnace is small. Can I borrow your Pill Furnace?”

“What’s so difficult about that?”

Li Tingyue was in a good mood. “Wanbao Pavilion has a Fourth Grade High-Rank Pill Furnace called the zixiao cauldron.

If Fellow Daoist can help my daughter remove the toxins,

I will give this cauldron to Fellow Daoist.

When do you need it?”

“The sooner the better.”

“Alright then, I will send someone to deliver the zixiao cauldron to Fellow Daoist’s residence now.”

“Then let us part ways here. I will give Fellow Daoist an accurate message tomorrow.”

Jiang Ning cupped his hands. As it concerned his daughter’s life, the Li Family Head’s efficiency was unusually fast.

Li Tingyue knew that everyone had their own secrets, so he didn’t ask Jiang Ning to stay at the Li Residence.

After the two groups parted ways.

Li Yunxi looked at the departing Jiang Ning and Shen Jinhuan.

She weakly asked, “Father, does this Senior really have confidence?”

Li Tingyue sighed.

“There’s no other way. Your time is short. Even a sliver of hope must be grasped.”

...On the road.

Shen Jinhuan’s hand was held by Jiang Ning.

She looked at Jiang Ning and said with a smile, “That Li Family Young Miss is truly fortunate. She has lived in luxury since childhood, and she has a father who loves her as much as he loves his own life.”

Jiang Ning gripped Shen Jinhuan’s hand tightly.

He said seriously, “If there ever comes a day when you need me to be like that, I will also be like this Li Family Head!”

Shen Jinhuan felt happy in her heart.

She said nothing more.

When the two arrived at their Courtyard No. 8, one person was waiting at the door.

It was the steward of Wanbao Pavilion whom they had seen during the day.

Seeing Jiang Ning.

The steward raised a bright smile and conjured a nearly three-meter-tall, purplish-red Pill Furnace from his Storage Pouch.

Thud!

The Pill Furnace landed, emitting a dull thud.

Jiang Ning looked up at the zixiao cauldron. Even in the moonlight, he felt that this Pill Furnace had an extraordinary Aura.

The steward bowed.

Because he had given this Senior a golden invitation, the Li Family Head’s trusted aides had praised him several times.

If this Senior could cure the Young Miss’s illness, then he would certainly “advance further” in the Li family.

This person was his great lucky star!

The steward became even more respectful.

“Senior, the Li Family Head has ordered me to temporarily lend this Pill Furnace to you. If there are no other matters, this humble one will take his leave.”
