Chapter 585: Chapter 585: Important Clue

From the direction of the Lu Family, Lu Yaosheng spoke with an excited face: "Miss Murong, whatever your conditions are, just name them. Our Lu Family will certainly agree!"

As long as the Lu Family could obtain another Spirit Ascending Pill, as long as he himself took it, even if his strength was still not as good as Lu Fengxian’s, he would still be qualified to continue serving as the Lu Family Master.

Lu Yaosheng was determined to get the Spirit Ascending Pill.

"Miss Murong, please state your conditions quickly. Whatever they are, our Ye Family will agree!"

"My Lin Family also agrees to any conditions set by Miss Murong. Please say it, Miss Murong!"

...

The Family Heads of the Nine Gates of Yandu couldn’t wait any longer.

Murong Mingyue’s gaze suddenly turned icy, and her voice cooled down as she said, "If you want the Spirit Ascending Pill, that’s possible. However, the individuals from each family who take the Spirit Ascending Pill must at least be of King Realm Cultivation, and they must also take a blood oath, swearing allegiance to Qin Chuan from now on!"

She knew that Qin Chuan did not need this form of submission, but she had to do this for him.

During this visit to Yandu, several families had offended Qin Chuan. Even though they couldn’t hurt Qin Chuan, she didn’t want such things to happen again.

Of course, she had another thought. Qin Chuan had been investigating the truth behind the extermination of the Qin Family, and now it was almost certain that the annihilation of the Qin Family had nothing to do with these noble families of the Secular World. Therefore, the one who destroyed the Qin Family could only come from the Ancient Martial World.

A single Spirit Ascending Pill could make a King Realm Strong breakthrough at least one minor realm, and perhaps even two. If one day Qin Chuan needed manpower, it would be ideal to take these strong individuals who took the Spirit Ascending Pill to the Ancient Martial World.

Upon hearing the conditions proposed by Murong Mingyue, all the Family Heads of the noble houses were dumbfounded.

The blood oath, a secret technique that had been passed down among the strong of the Nine Gates of Yandu. It involves using blood as a medium to take an oath. If the oath is broken, the perpetrator will suffer backlash from the blood oath, causing their cultivation to plummet dramatically.

But that wasn’t the main point. The primary requirement that Murong Mingyue first raised was that the person taking the Spirit Ascending Pill must have reached King Realm Initial Stage Cultivation.

Among these noble family heads, most of them were considering taking it themselves, but with the conditions set forth by Murong Mingyue, they were destined to have no relation with the Spirit Ascending Pill.

The reason Murong Mingyue had set such requirements was to help Qin Chuan build a small team composed of the Secular World’s top powerhouses.

"This..."

The magnates hesitated.

To obtain the Spirit Ascending Pill, it would undoubtedly be first given to their respective family’s elders, and it was only these elders, whose life spans were nearing their end, that could maximize the benefits of the Spirit Ascending Pill.

Ye Zhong immediately stated his position: "The Ye Family accepts the requirements proposed by Miss Murong!"

He was very pleased with the condition imposed by Murong Mingyue that only King Realm Strong could take the Spirit Ascending Pill.

Among the nine Family Heads, only his cultivation had reached the King Realm.

Once he took the Spirit Ascending Pill, his cultivation would surely skyrocket, and he might even breakthrough two minor realms in a row like Lu Fengxian.

As for the requirement to revere Qin Chuan, Ye Zhong felt no aversion at all, but rather excitement.

With the strength displayed by Qin Chuan today, as long as he did not die, he was destined to stand at the apex of the Ancient Martial World. If he could become a follower of Qin Chuan, he might even have a chance to take the Ye Family to the Ancient Martial World in the future.

"How is it? Aside from Family Head Ye, it seems the other Family Heads are rather unwilling? If so, then there’s no need to force yourselves."

Murong Mingyue coldly swept her gaze across the other Family Heads, then turned to Ye Zhong and said, "Since Family Head Ye is willing to adhere to the conditions I’ve proposed, then let’s establish the blood oath first!"

Without any hesitation, Ye Zhong took out a personal dagger on the spot, cutting across his palm without any reluctance, and blood instantly flowed out.

"I, Ye Zhong, using blood as the medium, establish this blood oath. From this day on, I, Ye Zhong, shall revere Mr. Qin as supreme. When Mr. Qin commands me to live, I shall live! When Mr. Qin orders my death, I shall die! Should I go against this, I am willing to suffer the backlash of the blood oath and lose all my cultivation!"

Ye Zhong spoke with a face full of seriousness.

Murong Mingyue had already separated one Spirit Ascending Pill and, seeing Ye Zhong take the blood oath, she directly handed the porcelain bottle containing the Spirit Ascending Pill to Ye Zhong.

Ye Zhong took the porcelain bottle, his face brimming with excitement as he said, "Thank you, Miss Murong! I will arrange for this year’s hundred billion to be transferred into the Murong Family’s account immediately!"

Murong Mingyue nodded her head, not worried that Ye Zhong would go back on his word.

"Miss Murong, my Qin Royal Family will take the remaining nine Spirit Ascending Pills!"

Seeing Murong Mingyue so readily give away a Spirit Ascending Pill, Qin Bancheng became anxious and quickly said, "Nine thousand Spirit Stones! The Qin Royal Family is willing to give the Murong Family nine thousand Spirit Stones every year for thirty years!"

"Although the Qin Royal Family cannot regard Mr. Qin with the utmost respect, I can assure Miss Murong that as long as you are willing to sell the remaining nine Spirit Ascending Pills to the Qin Royal Family, once Mr. Qin leaves for the Ancient Martial World, you will be treated with the highest courtesy."

"I cannot guarantee how other members of the Qin Royal Family will act, but I, Qin Bancheng, can assure you that whenever Mr. Qin needs me, I will never hesitate!"

He understood Murong Mingyue’s intention; this young lady simply wanted to help Qin Chuan establish a team of powerful warriors in the Secular World. However, was this team of strong warriors not a bit too shabby?

The value of a single Spirit Ascending Pill was not something that could be offset by a King Realm Strong who respected Qin Chuan.

Hearing Qin Bancheng’s words, Murong Mingyue was somewhat tempted. She did not expect to leverage the Spirit Ascending Pills to gain anything for herself; she simply wanted to help Qin Chuan.

"Great Elder Qin, you can stop thinking about those Spirit Ascending Pills."

Just as Murong Mingyue was about to agree to Qin Bancheng, Qin Chuan, who had not expressed his stance, suddenly spoke up.

Qin Bancheng became anxious and hurriedly said, "Mr. Qin, I..."

Before he could finish, he saw Qin Chuan’s brows furrow, and he quickly shut his mouth.

Qin Chuan looked at Murong Mingyue with a gentle expression and said, "I’ve said it before, the Spirit Ascending Pills are a gift to you. You don’t need to consider me—just think from your own perspective and maximize the benefits of these pills. Doesn’t the Murong Family own an auction house? You can also put them up for auction. The Secular World is not limited to just the Nine Gates of Yandu with King Realm Strong."

The point had been made!

With just a few sentences, Murong Mingyue was even more moved, and she understood Qin Chuan’s intention. Once the news of the Spirit Ascending Pills was released, even reclusive King Realm Strong who typically avoid the public eye would likely find a way to participate in the auction.

Moreover, who said that the auction for Spirit Ascending Pills must use money for bidding? It could also be Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Murong Mingyue nodded, "I understand!"

Listening to the dialogue between Qin Chuan and Murong Mingyue, the grandees from other Great Houses who had not received Spirit Ascending Pills became anxious.

They were acutely aware of the allure of Spirit Ascending Pills to those in the King Realm. Once the news was spread, the value of the pills would absolutely skyrocket.

The more people competing, the greater the cost to obtain a Spirit Ascending Pill.

The Dragon Family Patriarch, Long Qianqiu, hurriedly said, "Miss Murong, my Dragon Family agrees to the terms you just proposed, please..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Murong Mingyue coldly said, "Since you all have hesitated, then let’s rely on our own abilities. See you at the auction!"

"Let’s go!"

Murong Mingyue showed no consideration for the faces of other Great House leaders, merely nodding to Qin Chuan before leading the Murong Family members away.

The remaining grandees from the Great Houses were all filled with regret.

"Hahaha..."

Ye Zhong, having obtained the Spirit Ascending Pill and seeing no one else had, felt a sudden surge of elation and laughingly said, "Gentlemen, you better prepare well. We will meet again at the auction for the Spirit Ascending Pills!"

After speaking, he too took the Ye Family members and left.

Qin Chuan also had no reason to stay any longer and said to Mu Weiwei, "Let’s go."

Just now, he had already spoken to Mu Weiwei, asking her to take him to Yandu University, as he intended to personally visit the Painting Immortal. If the Painting Immortal ultimately refuses, he will give up.

Mu Weiwei had already sketched a portrait based on Long Sanlin’s description, now just waiting for the Painting Immortal to reconstruct the true appearance of the elderly man based on the portrait.

This was also an important clue after the clue regarding the Qin Family’s annihilation broke off at the Nine Gates of Yandu.
