Chapter 176: Chapter 176: True Elemental Elixir_1

Shen Bingying nodded repeatedly, her eyes brimming with gratitude as she said, "Thank you, Miss Xu, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for my grandfather!"

Afterward, Ning Fan and his companions left the Underground Palace and found a nearby medicinal herb shop. They purchased some auxiliary materials, and then used the three-hundred-year-old Blood Lingzhi as well as the majority of the one-hundred-and-fifty-year-old Lingzhi as main ingredients to refine a furnace of elixir.

Bang!

The furnace burst open, and at its bottom lay more than twenty red and white pills slightly larger than soybeans, each exuding a rich medicinal fragrance that quickly spread around. Everyone nearby felt their spirits lifted upon smelling it, their exhausted bodies and minds instantly filled with vitality.

"What is the name of these pills?" Xu Yourong couldn’t help asking.

"This elixir is called the True Elemental Elixir," Ning Fan replied, remembering the legacy in his mind.

"Can one pill really prolong life by three months?" Shen Bingying asked eagerly.

"Indeed," Ning Fan nodded.

To ordinary people, one True Elemental Elixir could extend life by three months.

For Ning Fan, it could also greatly enhance his cultivation level, making the medicinal power a whole level stronger than the last elixir he managed to produce.

It was precisely because of these two effects that Ning Fan decided to refine it.

Otherwise, if it only had the effect of extending life, why would Ning Fan invest both treasured old medicines, the Blood Lingzhi and Lingzhi, into it?

"That’s fantastic, Mr. Ning, you just mentioned selling me three pills. Please name your price!" Shen Bingying said again.

This time, she dared not say anything like ’give them all to me’ anymore.

"For this elixir, one costs ten billion, so three pills in total would be thirty billion, in cash," Ning Fan stated flatly.

"What? Thirty billion in cash? That’s so expensive?" Shen Bingying was taken aback.

"If you find it costly, you can either buy just one pill or not at all," Ning Fan said calmly.

"I..." Shen Bingying was at a loss for words.

Ten billion for a pill is, indeed, a staggeringly high price.

But looked at from another angle, if one could extend life by three months for ten billion, is that price really too high?

For the truly wealthy, if they could prolong life with money, they would buy it without hesitation, no matter the cost!

They would even compete frantically for it!

Because once one dies, even trillions of money are just a pile of useless paper.

With this in mind, Shen Bingying no longer felt the price was too high, but another problem presented itself.

She didn’t have that much money!

She was the young miss of the top wealthy family in Shen City, the Shen Family, there’s no doubt about that.

The Shen Family had assets worth tens of billions, that was also true.

But those were assets, not cash.

She was merely the young miss of the Shen family, not the Family Head.

How could she possibly come up with thirty billion in cash just like that?

"Mr. Ning, I... I don’t have that much cash right now..."

Shen Bingying spoke with an embarrassed expression, cautiously saying, "But I can write you an IOU. I’ll take the True Elemental Elixirs back to Shen City first to extend my grandfather’s life... Then you can come to Shen City anytime, and I’ll pay you back the thirty billion, principal and interest included. How about that?"

"Okay," Ning Fan nodded.

Thereupon, Shen Bingying wrote an IOU on the spot, bit her finger to imprint her thumbprint on it, and handed it over to Ning Fan with both hands.

Ning Fan accepted the IOU and handed Shen Bingying three True Elemental Elixirs.

"Thank you, Mr. Ning."

Shen Bingying secured the True Elemental Elixirs, looked deeply at Ning Fan, and thought to herself: I hope you haven’t lied to me.

Then, she turned and left with the two remaining bodyguards.

Ning Fan took out three more pills and gave them to Ge Tiangang, saying, "Finding the Blood Lingzhi was largely due to your efforts, so I’m giving you three True Elemental Elixirs as compensation for your severed arm."

Ge Tiangang smiled bitterly and said repeatedly, "Mr. Ning, the loss of my arm was my own fault for not heeding your advice, and I even nearly messed up your plans. Yet you share such precious elixir with me; I’m truly ashamed..."

Despite saying this, Ge Tiangang didn’t hesitate to take the three pills in one hand, treasuring them as he slipped them into his pocket.

This elixir was worth a billion each!

If he sold them, he could live a life rich in wealth for the rest of his days!

After thanking Ning Fan several times, Ge Tiangang hastily departed, anxious lest Ning Fan change his mind!

"Miss Xu, there are twenty pills left. I’ll give you ten, and I’ll keep ten for myself," Ning Fan said as he divided the remaining elixirs into two portions, securing them in two small porcelain bottles—one for himself and one he handed to Xu Yourong.

Xu Yourong was initially inclined to refuse, but after a moment’s thought, her beautiful eyes shifted, and she reached out to accept them with a smile, saying, "Hehe, then I won’t stand on ceremony."

By this time, it was already deep into the night. The two found a car and drove towards the hotel where Qiu Li and Ding Hongxia were staying.

...

Elsewhere, slightly earlier.

After being taught a lesson by Ning Fan at the auction house, Yuan Jigang immediately returned to the Yuan Family and called his bodyguards to track down Ning Fan’s whereabouts.

"You damn bastard, how dare you hit me in Sea City? You’d better not let me find you! If I do, I swear I’ll break your limbs! And then watch as I viciously..." He paused, then sneered, "That’s right, and your mother too, I will sell her to the lowest brothel in Sea City!" Yuan Jigang cursed venomously.
