Thousands of people pointed fingers at her, Xue Ji's murderous intent
“I’ve long heard of the wonders of the myriad year evergreen vine. It’s said that if refined alone, it can extend one’s lifespan by over a hundred years. I didn’t believe it before, but now I completely do!”
An old man exclaimed emotionally, his eyes fixed on the myriad year evergreen vine, filled with envy.
No sooner had the old man finished speaking than the elder who accompanied Jiang Yefang stepped forward.
This elder, named Jiang Shuigen, was quite famous in Fanxing City. He smiled and said:
“Fellow Daoist Si, you underestimate this myriad year evergreen vine. Refining it directly would be a terrible waste!”
“The myriad year evergreen vine has three major uses. The first is for refining Face Rejuvenation Pills; it is the most crucial ingredient!”
“A myriad year evergreen vine like this one, with its intertwined patterns, is at least three thousand years old.”
“A Face Rejuvenation Pill refined from such a myriad year evergreen vine can guarantee an unchanging appearance for at least a thousand years with just one dose!”
“Its second major use is for refining Qi and Blood Pills. One of this age should be able to refine Nine-Rank Qi and Blood Pills!”
“Once a Nine-Rank Qi and Blood Pill is consumed, even a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert whose lifespan is at its end can instantly restore their Peak qi and blood.”
“The third use is even more terrifying. It is said that the myriad year evergreen vine contains the Law of the Great Dao of Life.”
“Whoever can comprehend it will have endless life, living as long as heaven and earth!”
“This isn’t something I’m making up; Tianyan Pavilion announced this back then, and everyone can look it up!”
Upon hearing Jiang Shuigen’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up, and their gazes towards the myriad year evergreen vine became even more intense, filled with greed.
Zhou Yuan shook his head slightly upon hearing this. With Jiang Shuigen’s description, this section of myriad year evergreen vine had become a divine medicine, but how could it be so miraculous?
If it were truly that miraculous, Jiangyue Tower would never have brought it out.
All the other party’s talk was merely to sell it at a good price.
Good stories can cause worthless items to skyrocket in value; that’s the reason.
Leng Qingxue was stunned by Jiang Shuigen’s words, and she actually believed some of it.
After Zhou Yuan sent a voice transmission to Leng Qingxue, she couldn’t help but blink her eyes; she had almost been fooled.
Xue Ji’s expression was calm, clearly Jiang Shuigen’s words hadn’t fooled her. The myriad year evergreen vine was useful to her, and that was all.
She calmly asked, “How is this item being sold?”
Jiang Yefang smiled and said, “This item was originally priced at one million one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”
“If Fellow Daoist wants it, I’ll give you a discount of fifty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, as a gesture of friendship!”
Xue Ji nodded slightly. Although the price was a bit expensive, it was reasonable.
Xue Ji calmly stated, “I want to inspect the goods first!”
Jiang Yefang didn't hesitate at all and directly sent the myriad year evergreen vine to Xue Ji.
Upon receiving it, Xue Ji immediately felt a surge of powerful life essence flowing towards her, and her eyes instantly lit up.
With this section of myriad year evergreen vine, she could look several years younger, which would surely please her Young Master.
“One million Low-Grade Spirit Stones. If you agree, I’ll take it!”
Xue Ji spoke to Jiang Yefang, but her hands gripped the myriad year evergreen vine tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
Jiang Yefang frowned slightly upon hearing Xue Ji’s words, but after a moment of thought, she nodded and agreed to Xue Ji’s request.
Zhou Yuan had been watching this side, and the moment he saw Jiang Yefang nod, a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
“System, plunder!”
“Ding! Plunder successful. The vast life force of the myriad year evergreen vine has entered the host’s Dantian!”
The moment the System’s voice rang out, Zhou Yuan felt a ball of emerald green liquid, about the size of an egg, appear in his Dantian.
This ball of liquid was filled with a vast amount of life force.
The Life Sword, without waiting for Zhou Yuan’s command, instantly arrived in his Dantian and frantically devoured this green liquid.
With the sound of the Life Sword, special runes appeared, each containing a vast aura of life.
At this moment, Xue Ji was dumbfounded. The myriad year evergreen vine, which she had been gripping tightly, rapidly shrank, and its life essence instantly drained away.
It was as if she had activated a Cultivation Technique and directly devoured the life force within the myriad year evergreen vine.
When she opened her palm, the myriad year evergreen vine had shrunk by four-fifths, leaving only a small, withered piece of wood.
This scene startled everyone, and they all moved away from Xue Ji. They had also clearly felt the rapid loss of life force just now.
“Fellow Daoist has such a domineering Cultivation Technique, to instantly devour the life force within the myriad year evergreen vine!”
Jiang Yefang exclaimed in surprise, a hint of wariness in her voice.
Xue Ji frowned tightly and quickly said, “I didn’t absorb it. There’s something wrong with your myriad year evergreen vine. I don’t want this!”
After saying that, Xue Ji directly handed the withered branch of the myriad year evergreen vine to Jiang Yefang.
At this moment, not only was Jiang Yefang dumbfounded, but everyone else around was also stunned, unsure of what was happening.
Jiang Yefang’s brows furrowed, and then her expression instantly turned cold.
“Fellow Daoist, do you really think my Jiangyue Tower is easy to bully?”
“So many people were here just now and personally saw you absorb the life force from the myriad year evergreen vine.”
“Now that you’ve absorbed it, you’re giving me this withered branch. This is truly going too far!”
Jiang Yefang’s words were filled with a hint of murderous intent. In her entire life, this was the first time she had encountered such a shameless person.
“That’s right, we were all here and saw everything with our own eyes. If this Fellow Daoist can’t afford it, then don’t pretend to be a big shot!”
A Heavenly Gate Realm man spoke, his words full of mockery.
He didn't know Xue Ji’s cultivation yet, otherwise he would have been scared senseless.
The people around also began to speak, one after another, naturally discussing Xue Ji.
Xue Ji’s face was exceptionally ugly, and a hint of murderous intent flickered in her eyes. She couldn’t clear her name from this, even if she jumped into the sea.
She also didn’t understand what had happened at this moment. The life essence had been incredibly vast just a moment ago when she held it, but in the blink of an eye, it had vanished without a trace.
As for saying the other party tampered with it, she didn’t believe it, after all, she was a Half-Step Cave Heaven Realm cultivator.
But how else could this be explained?
Seeing everyone’s gazes towards her completely change, with many even showing disdain, Xue Ji was so angry she felt like spitting blood.
She really wanted to kill a few people with a single palm strike, but after thinking about it, she didn’t. This wasn’t a major region under the Zhou Family’s jurisdiction, and if anything happened, it would surely cause trouble.
Moreover, there were several Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts nearby. If a fight broke out, she didn’t know what the consequences would be, as this was their territory.
Xue Ji’s face was very grim. She waved her hand and threw out a storage ring, which contained exactly one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
She then no longer lingered, her gaze sweeping over the people present, her eyes filled with chilling murderous intent.
Xue Ji departed, leaving with endless murderous intent!
