Chapter 89 Heavenly Mandate Creation Pill
Su Ye cleared his throat, flipped to the first page, and began to read aloud with clear, resonant tones. His voice echoed through the main hall, every word crystal clear:
"The year 3521 of the Taichu Calendar, March."
"Personally witnessed Peak Master Liu Changqing, the Peak Master of Pill Cauldron Peak, explode his cauldron while refining pills. To cover up his mistake, he secretly fed the failed pills to his mount, the Fire Cloud Crane..."
"Causing the Fire Cloud Crane to have diarrhea for three days and nights, nearly collapsing from exhaustion. Using this as leverage, I demanded ten 'Spirit Gathering Pills'..."
Before he could finish speaking.
The temperature inside the hall instantly dropped to freezing point.
Peak Master Liu Changqing's originally angry face turned deathly pale in an instant, and pea-sized beads of cold sweat poured down his forehead! His lips trembled, wanting to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"Stop... stop reading!"
Peak Master Liu Changqing's voice shook as he subconsciously tried to rush over and snatch the notebook. His figure blurred, turning into a streak of light, moving with astonishing speed.
But Su Ye was already prepared. A terrifying Supreme Bone pressure suddenly erupted from his chest. That pressure was overbearingly powerful, as if an ancient Vicious Beast had awakened, forcibly pushing Peak Master Liu Changqing back half a step!
It was exactly this half-step difference that made Peak Master Liu Changqing completely lose the chance to snatch it.
He tried to make a final struggle, bringing up the Saint Lord to pressure Su Ye.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Su Ye sneered, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "It seems Peak Master Liu still won't shed a tear until he sees the coffin."
He thought to himself:
"System, extract 'Truth or Dare Candy'!"
A candy emitting a pink glow instantly appeared in his hand. The candy was the size of a thumb, crystal clear, with pink mist swirling inside, giving off a cloyingly sweet aroma.
His figure flickered, appearing before Peak Master Liu Changqing like a ghost, his speed so fast that Peak Master Liu Changqing had no time to react. Taking advantage of the moment Peak Master Liu Changqing opened his mouth to gasp for air, he flicked his finger, launching the candy directly into his mouth!
Gulp.
The candy melted the moment it entered his mouth, turning into a warm current that instantly surged into Peak Master Liu Changqing's limbs and bones.
"You... what did you give me to eat?!" Peak Master Liu Changqing was pale with fright, clutching his own throat, trying to gouge it out and vomit. But the candy had already turned into medicinal power and merged into his blood; how could he possibly vomit it out?
"Nothing much, just a little local specialty that lets you speak your mind."
Su Ye clapped his hands, his gaze becoming sharp. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Peak Master Liu Changqing from a height, his voice cold:
"Now, answer my question!"
"Where exactly is your hidden personal stash of wealth?!"
Peak Master Liu Changqing was about to curse "In your dreams," but as the words reached his lips, his tongue seemed to lose control, and he roared out loudly:
"Under my bed!!!"
That voice was incredibly resonant, echoing through the main hall.
Peak Master Liu Changqing himself was stunned, his hands tightly covering his mouth, his eyes filled with terror. How could he say such a thing?! He clearly wanted to curse!
But his mouth was completely out of control and continued to speak:
"There's a hidden compartment under the bed, containing three million Top-Grade Spirit Stones!!"
"And five bottles of Saint Grade Low Grade 'Heaven's Mandate Creation Pills'! Those were prepared to be presented to the Saint Lord, to beg her to look at me one more time!!!"
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Lin Waner and Light Snow's mouths hung open, shocked beyond measure.
Three million Top-Grade Spirit Stones?!
Those were Top-Grade Spirit Stones! One Top-Grade Spirit Stone was equal to ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, equal to one million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and equal to one hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones!
Three million Top-Grade Spirit Stones—what a staggering amount of wealth! It was enough to buy a medium-sized city!
And Saint Grade Medicinal Pills?!
That was Saint Grade! In the entire Taichu Holy Land, there were no more than five people who could refine Saint Grade Medicinal Pills! Every single Saint Grade Medicinal Pill was an invaluable treasure, something that money often couldn't even buy!
This old fellow was actually this rich!
And... he actually had a secret crush on the Saint Lord Senior Martial Uncle?!
Lin Waner and Light Snow exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. This news was just too explosive!
Peak Master Liu Changqing himself was like he had been struck by lightning, his hands tightly covering his mouth, his eyes filled with terror and despair.
What did I say?!
Why would I reveal such a top secret?!
That was the wife-fund I've saved up for five hundred years!
He had worked hard for five hundred years, living frugally, skimping on Medicinal Pills, and embezzling Spiritual Plants, finally managing to save up this little bit of family property. That was his retirement money, his wife-fund, and what he prepared to use to curry favor with the Saint Lord!
Now it was all over!
"Nicely done!"
Su Ye's eyes lit up. This Truth or Dare Candy was simply a divine tool for robbery and interrogation! One candy down, and no secret could be hidden!
He immediately turned to look at his two Junior Sisters, his eyes full of excitement.
"Waner, Light Snow!"
"Did you hear that? There's a hidden compartment under the bed! Go and raid his stash for me!"
"Yes! Senior Brother!"
Lin Waner's voice was trembling with excitement as she directly swung that Great Black Iron Gold Axe and charged into Peak Master Liu Changqing's inner chamber like a gale. Her speed was astonishingly fast, whipping up a gust of wind.
