Chapter 743: Chapter 743 Restrictive Conditions

At the scene, the Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners who were interested in joining the Splendid Dojo were definitely not just this black-robed martial artist who had just spoken with Jing Yan.

The eighteen Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pills now presented were too few, and only a minority would successfully bid for them. Most Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners hadn’t managed to obtain the Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pills.

And now, knowing that if they chose to join the Splendid Dojo, they would still have a chance to obtain the Perfect Quality Ten Thousand Spirit Returning to Origin Pills, it was natural for everyone to be tempted.

At this point, Jing Yan cleared his throat.

"The elixirs that I am going to present next, you all might have also heard about recently. Yes, they are indeed the Longevity Pills, which are also the last type of elixirs I am here to publicly exchange today."

"I have six Longevity Pills here!"

"Three of them are of first-class quality, and three are of perfect quality. Since this type of elixir has never appeared before on the Heavenly Origin Continent, I will take this opportunity to introduce their effects."

Jing Yan said with a smile, his gaze sweeping across the entire crowd. At this moment, the whole square fell silent, everyone’s eyes were on Jing Yan as he took out six Jade Bottles and listened intently to his explanation.

"The first-class quality Longevity Pills can extend one’s life by more than three hundred years. The perfect quality Longevity Pills can extend life by more than four hundred years. Moreover, the Longevity Pills also have the effect of healing Martial Arts Meridians and Fog Vortex."

"Now you should understand that the Longevity Pills have similar effects to the Plum Blossom Pills, but are much more powerful," Jing Yan spoke slowly.

"Hall Master Jing Yan, we had already understood about the Longevity Pills before coming here, let us start the bidding now!" A red-bearded Dao Emperor Realm Practitioner, growing impatient, stood up and interrupted Jing Yan.

"Ah, this dear Daoist, please stay calm."

"The refinement of Longevity Pills requires extremely rare materials, and each one is immensely precious. Moreover, each batch can only produce one pill. This means, these pills can’t appear in large quantities on the Heavenly Origin Continent."

"Therefore, I need to impose some restrictions for this public exchange. That is, the public exchange will only be open to Independent Cultivation Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners; any family powers and the like are not allowed to bid for them," Jing Yan announced a restriction.

In fact, Jing Yan’s restriction mainly targeted the Seven Great Families.

The war with the Gai Family was inevitable. As for how many forces the other six great families would deploy to help the Gai Family in this battle, Jing Yan couldn’t predict at the moment. Thus, he did not wish for the Longevity Pills to easily fall into the hands of the Seven Great Families.

As Jing Yan made this announcement, the Independent Cultivation Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners immediately showed joy.

With family powers out of the competition, their chances of obtaining the Longevity Pills would increase.

Conversely, the members of the great families immediately frowned, their expressions darkened, and their sinister eyes all converged on Jing Yan.

"Hall Master Jing Yan, what does this mean? Are you discriminating against us family forces?" An elder from the Cheng Family asked furiously, his expression fierce.

"That’s right! If it’s a public exchange of elixirs, why can’t our families participate?" People from the Lan Family this time strongly supported the Cheng Family elder.

"Hall Master Jing Yan, although we respect you, this act really disheartens us! The Independent Cultivation Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners need the Longevity Pills, but don’t we need them too?" Another member from a major family stood up.

Questioning voices arose one after another.

Meanwhile, Gu Xianlun from the Gai Family remained relatively composed, his lips curled coldly as he eyed Jing Yan.

"Mr. Tong Yue, you see? We knew that Jing Yan would resort to deceit! Fortunately, the ancestor foresaw this and had thus invited Mr. Tong Yue to assist us," Gu Xianlun whispered to Tong Yue by his side.

Tong Yue nodded, "Elder Xian Lun, don’t worry! Leave the matter of securing the Longevity Pills to me!"

"Mm, if Mr. Tong Yue steps in, naturally there will be no problems. However, Mr. Tong Yue, you must also beware; although Jing Yan is young, he is exceedingly arrogant. For the Longevity Pills, I fear Mr. Tong Yue might need to humble himself if necessary," Gu Xianlun spoke solemnly, as if advising Tong Yue.

But in reality, he harbored malicious intentions.

What kind of man was Tong Yue?

In his lifetime, when had he ever bowed his head? Initially, when he was surrounded and attacked by the Holy Master with numerous Hall Masters, Tong Yue had indeed compromised in the end. However, he hadn’t admitted any wrongdoing; he only signed an agreement with the Holy Master pledging not to indiscriminately kill innocents on the Heavenly Origin Continent again.

To have Tong Yue bow to a young man in his thirties? What a joke.

Sure enough, a sharp light flashed in Tong Yue’s eyes, and he chuckled coldly.

"Mr. Tong Yue, I mean no offense. I’m just thinking that because the Longevity Pills are so crucial, perhaps you could endure this for now and after getting the Longevity Pills, everything can be discussed," Gu Xianlun hurriedly explained.

His tone was sincere, hardly giving the impression of instigation. While an ordinary person might really consider enduring, these words definitely could not make Tong Yue yield, they would only make him angry.

"Elder Xian Lun, since I’ve promised the Gai Family, I will ensure the Longevity Pill is delivered to you. As for the rest, there’s no need to mention it," Tong Yue said with an unhappy expression.

"Yes... yes!" Gu Xianlun quickly apologized.

He lowered his head, a gleam shining in his narrowed eyes.

And behind him, the two Ancient Family Elders who had just returned also bowed their heads. They had already successfully conveyed the ancestor’s intentions to Xianlun Supreme Elder.

...

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

Seeing the people from the Seven Great Families starting to make a fuss, Jing Yan sneered inwardly.

"The Elixir Convention is hosted by me! The elixirs being publicly exchanged are also mine! It is my business whom I choose to exchange the elixirs with, and it has nothing to do with you all! Could it be that you think you can coerce me, the Holy Hall Master?" Jing Yan’s voice suddenly rose, his Primordial Energy making his voice boom like thunder in the ears of the great family members.

"Humph, is someone trying to make trouble?" The Eighth Hall Master, Min Huo, roared out, standing up with fierce eyes scanning the members of the great families.

"Making trouble in the Holy City, even if you have a powerful background, I guess the consequences would be something you wouldn’t want to bear," the Seventh Hall Master, Leng Hongying, also sneered.

"Threaten our Holy Hall Master? Haha... It seems some people’s guts are getting bigger!" The Great Hall Master also sneered.

"To slander Hall Master Jing Yan? Hmph, think carefully! My fist, Kui Long, the Third Hall Master, will be the first to disagree! Whoever doesn’t accept it, step forward and let me see!" The Third Hall Master Kui Long immediately flew up, glaring fiercely with bulging eyes, sweeping across the people from the Seven Great Families.
