391: Chapter 391 Creepy

"Do you know about Star Marrow?" Amivika asked in return.

Nie Ning shook his head. "What is that?"

Hearing this, Amivika couldn't help but roll her eyes. It could only be said that Nie Ning's level of knowledge still needed further development.

"Star Marrow is a special energy substance extracted from a living planet. This substance possesses all kinds of magical effects and is a rare treasure."

Following Amivika's explanation, Nie Ning nodded thoughtfully. That was indeed quite precious. After all, Nie Ning didn't even dare to imagine something like a planet, and they had already turned it into a dish—in two words: Incredible!

"Speaking of which, is your Yishi Mansion so extravagant that you actually use this kind of thing to entertain people? Being this powerful, I'm afraid you might be hiding a few ninth-rank old monsters, right?"

"What are you thinking? Do you think ninth-rankers are cabbages? Besides, I am your wife; I am no longer a person of Yishi Mansion."

Amivika pouted with dissatisfaction, steadied her emotions, and began to explain again.

"This Star Marrow doesn't come from a normal living planet; it was just a dying world. Of course, this thing is still very precious; I estimate that most eighth-rank Transcendents have never seen it."

In reality, Amivika also couldn't understand why Yishi Mansion would bring out such a precious item.

Not to mention anything else, if used properly, or taken to trade with others, the resources obtained—not to mention fostering a ninth-rank powerhouse—would have no problem producing an eighth-rank powerhouse.

Yet despite this, Yishi Mansion had actually brought out such a precious item and was even willing to share it with others.

And the reason why so many people came to observe the ceremony was for the Star Marrow dish in the pot, which also had immense benefits for seventh-rank Transcendents.

Nie Ning rubbed his chin and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. His gaze turned toward the main seat opposite him. Seemingly sensing Nie Ning's gaze, Helian revealed a meaningful smile toward Nie Ning.

Seeing this, Nie Ning instantly widened his eyes, the hairs on his body stood on end, and he felt a chill down his spine.

'Good heavens, is this what a High-level Wizard is like...'

Nie Ning remembered a sentence Helian had once said. 'When he locks onto you, all the good things you encounter will become caused by him.'

Although it was just a simple sentence, put into the current context, it became exceptionally terrifying.

Thinking of this, Nie Ning turned his head slightly anxiously to look at Amivika: "Do you know when this Star Marrow was obtained?"

Amivika tilted her head and looked at Nie Ning very strangely: "Just three years ago, when Helian was using star-gazing arts, he discovered it inadvertently."

Hearing Amivika's explanation, Nie Ning felt a chill in his heart.

Yishi Mansion was truly ruthless! They actually wanted to use this to bind all the nearby factions together, and then spread out the calamity brought by Amivika!

After all, Star Marrow could be considered a rare treasure in the world; it was estimated that even ninth-rank factions didn't have such great generosity to bring out such a precious item to entertain customers.

The problem lay here: what if the calamity triggered by Amivika herself was not affected, and instead appeared with even greater fluctuations due to the range?

Honestly, Nie Ning couldn't imagine it, and even felt it was possible that a spectacular scene of a planet colliding with a planet might occur.

If it were really like that, it wouldn't be impossible for gods to descend in person.

It could only be said that none of the High-level Wizards were simple, especially since they knew some things that others did not.

Even if a disaster really occurred, they wouldn't associate it with Yishi Mansion. Because the Star Marrow dish was just an 'ordinary dish' that would only bring them practical benefits; after all, only a few people would curse the chef after eating.

It had to be said that Nie Ning now hoped more that Helian had just been joking with him earlier. Once it came true, or if the damage couldn't be spread out, the surrounding ten thousand miles of territory would likely be affected.

Unfortunately, the possibility of it being a joke was very small. If it were really like that, how wealthy must Yishi Mansion be to share such a precious item? It couldn't be that they brought out such a precious item just to play a joke on him, right?

"This is a dish named Starfall Glimmer, and it is a rare delicacy. I hope everyone will not waste it."

As Helian's voice fell, the huge pot lid was lifted by an invisible force, and immediately after, a rainbow light erupted.

In an instant, the rainbow light burst open, turning into specks of starlight, and rays of beautiful aurora appeared above Yishi Mansion.

"So fragrant, it feels like my soul has been sublimated." "It seems it really wasn't boasting; it is indeed a rare treasure."

Just by smelling the fragrance wafting from the pot, everyone felt extreme pleasure.

Compared to the low-rank Transcendents, the High-rank Transcendents revealed a solemn expression.

Honestly, most people didn't believe before that Yishi Mansion would bring out Star Marrow, and only came 'reluctantly' to give Yishi Mansion some face. After all, everyone was neighbors and neutral factions; the necessary social graces still had to be observed.

What if you didn't go, but your mortal enemy did; if a real fight broke out, what would you do if they took sides?

At the same time, they also wanted to see the changes in Yishi Mansion in recent years. Although Yishi Mansion had been very low-key, it had indeed been getting better and better over the years, so some people suspected that Yishi Mansion had obtained some kind of special 'treasure'.

Even if they found out this was true, it was possible they would unite to oppose Yishi Mansion; after all, no one wanted someone to ride on their heads and crap and pee.

But this move of bringing out Star Marrow made the seventh-rank powerhouses present couldn't help but look at each other, completely unable to understand what Yishi Mansion was up to.

If it were really related to a 'treasure', why was Yishi Mansion making such a big fuss? Wouldn't it be better to quietly make a fortune?

Or was this a conspiracy in itself, or were there subsequent activities to deter the petty and wicked?

Thinking of this, the few seventh-rank powerhouses began to communicate secretly.

"Everyone, good things should be enjoyed early." Helian said with a smile, then waved his hand, and the translucent soup flew out from the pot, landing in the bowls that had already been prepared.

The whole process didn't require anyone else's help, and the soup containing the Star Marrow liquid flew to the tables next to everyone.

"Many thanks, Mansion Master." Smelling the fragrance in the bowls, everyone present shouted in unison.

"Everyone, enjoy slowly." Helian smiled slightly and gestured for everyone to help themselves.

At this moment, everyone in the venue could no longer hold back and picked up their bowls to enjoy it.

Only Nie Ning and a small number of sixth and seventh-rankers hesitated, secretly observing the changes in others.

Helian was not in a hurry about this and had no intention of urging them, still wearing a smile, and even had the leisure to nod at Nie Ning.

The sixth and seventh-rank Transcendents were afraid that Yishi Mansion had poisoned it, while Nie Ning felt extremely uneasy in his heart, causing such a delicious delicacy to become tasteless and lose its great appeal.
