Chapter 937 Do We Have to Break the Pills Apart?
"So that's how it is. If possible, help them improve their strength. After all, they are also our allies. If their strength improves, our strength will become stronger," Su Yunxi analyzed with great conviction.
"Don't worry, I know."
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, then frowned.
However, he only had two pills left, which made things difficult...
Soon, they arrived at the villa of the Su family in the provincial capital. Everyone came to the living room and sat on the sofa.
The servants were observant and immediately served them hot tea.
The Gao family, the Murong family, and the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce looked at each other, their eyes flickering. They were all waiting for the other party to speak first, but no one was willing to break the silence, fearing that the other two families would gain an advantage.
What is a three-way standoff? This is a three-way standoff, mutual restraint!
Chen Xuan couldn't wait any longer. He glanced at everyone and said, "You followed me here because you want to know why Xue Chuan and the others improved so quickly, right?"
Everyone's heart leaped with joy upon hearing this.
Elder Bai chuckled, "Ahem, Mr. Chen is truly considerate!"
"I, this old man, couldn't bring myself to ask, as it is certainly a very important matter," Old Master Gao said with a smile.
Chen Xuan pouted, "You couldn't bring yourselves to ask? You chased me all the way to my home..."
Everyone was embarrassed, and Old Master Gao's face turned red.
"Mr. Chen, please tell us."
Since things had been laid bare, Old Master Gao decided to go all out.
What's the big deal about losing face?
What's the use of face? Can it improve strength? Or can it be eaten?
The others also looked at Chen Xuan with curiosity.
They were very curious how Chen Xuan managed to allow Mo Xiaoxue, Xue Chuan, and the others to cross that threshold overnight and become Grandmasters of Inner Strength, not to mention a Grandmaster of Inner Strength, Fourth Grade, and a Grandmaster of Inner Strength, Fifth Grade.
Even Yang Chaotian had become a Grandmaster of Inner Strength. It was known that Yang Chaotian held some weight in this circle.
They were extremely frustrated!
If they knew that Lone Wolf had also become a Grandmaster of Inner Strength, Second Grade, they would probably be even more depressed.
"It's very simple," Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Damn it, it's very simple...
Everyone secretly pouted.
Especially Old Master Gao, who was very displeased. He had cultivated for more than half his life to reach the Half-step Grandmaster of Inner Strength. Was that simple?
"Mr. Chen, please tell us quickly. I'm begging you," Old Ghost Murong couldn't help but plead.
He had been stuck at the Grandmaster of Inner Strength, First Grade, for a long time, and he longed to break through.
Chen Xuan smiled and took out the jade gourd containing the pills in his hand. "It's this thing."
Everyone looked over, their gazes sharp, staring intently at the jade gourd in Chen Xuan's hand.
They secretly wondered what this was.
Could it be a treasure that could change their destiny?
"This is... a pill?"
Old Master Murong was the most astute. His gaze suddenly sharpened, and he said immediately.
"Old Master Murong is indeed astute."
Chen Xuan said, pouring the pills out of the gourd.
Instantly, the aroma of the medicine filled the air. Everyone present felt refreshed and invigorated.
Heavens, this pill is so powerful that just smelling it made them feel light and airy!
Everyone felt warm and comfortable all over.
A moment later, everyone suddenly emerged from this comfortable feeling, and disappointment appeared in their eyes.
They were stunned and looked back. Chen Xuan had put the pills back into the jade gourd, which was why the feeling had disappeared.
After a brief moment of disappointment, everyone was even more invigorated.
Just smelling the scent had this effect, so eating it might truly lead to an immediate breakthrough!
They had completely believed Chen Xuan's words, that Yang Chaotian and the others had broken through by taking such pills.
"Mr. Chen, what is this?" Elder Bai asked curiously.
Chen Xuan explained, "This is called a High-grade Barrier-breaking Pill. After a martial artist takes the pill, they will easily break through barriers. For example, Old Master Gao, after taking this pill, can be guaranteed to be promoted to Grandmaster of Inner Strength."
Old Master Gao was overjoyed to hear this!
The others were also extremely excited!
Among them, several were Half-step Grandmasters of Inner Strength. Their greatest hope had always been to be promoted to Grandmaster of Inner Strength one day, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Although the distance from Half-step Grandmaster of Inner Strength to Grandmaster of Inner Strength was only half a step, it was like an insurmountable mountain, becoming a nightmare for all the Half-step Grandmasters of Inner Strength present.
Now that they had a chance to break through, how could they not be excited?
Old Master Gao said, "Mr. Chen, please name your price. No matter the cost, I am willing to buy a pill!"
Elder Xue also gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Chen, yes, just name your price. I'm willing to sell everything I own to get it!"
"I, Bai, am also willing to take out my entire fortune!" Elder Bai gritted his teeth.
Elder Bai's cultivation level was not high, but he was extremely eager to cultivate a super expert of his own.
The competition for the Bai family's inheritance was intensifying. If he had an expert by his side whom he had cultivated, his advantage would be even more apparent.
However, Chen Xuan remained silent, looking troubled, his brow furrowed.
"Mr. Chen, are there any difficulties?"
"Don't worry, the price will definitely satisfy you!"
"Yes, yes! Regarding the price, as long as you name it, we will definitely not haggle!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
From their words, it seemed that they would agree to any price Chen Xuan named.
In reality, this was because they trusted Chen Xuan not to make an exorbitant demand.
Chen Xuan shook his head, "You misunderstood. I actually didn't plan to sell them."
Huh?
Everyone was stunned.
How could such precious pills not be sold?
Many were very disappointed.
"Mr. Chen, we are begging you!"
One by one, they looked at Chen Xuan expectantly, and with a plop, they knelt down before Chen Xuan.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly!"
Seeing everyone kneeling on the ground, Chen Xuan was at a loss for words.
"If you don't sell us the pills, we won't get up!" someone started to act shamelessly.
"I don't plan to sell them to you. In fact, I want to give them to you!"
Chen Xuan rubbed his forehead, helpless.
Although these pills were precious, the medicinal ingredients required were extremely rare, all of them being sacred-grade existences. However, the Gao family, the Murong family, and others had all helped him wholeheartedly, and they deserved to be rewarded.
The previous banquet had served two purposes: one was to thank the Gao family and others, and the other was to win over the forces in the provincial capital.
These pills were gifts prepared by Chen Xuan for everyone.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this: "Mr. Chen, are you really willing to give us the pills?"
"Of course, it's true," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Old Master Gao was even moved to tears. He grabbed Chen Xuan's hand and said gratefully, "Mr. Chen, you are too generous!"
The others also had expressions of gratitude.
Chen Xuan quickly said, "Old Master Gao, don't be happy yet. I only have two pills, but there are three families..."
Now, the Murong family, the Gao family, and the Bai family, three major forces, only had two pills. How could they be divided?
It was precisely because of this that Chen Xuan had looked troubled just now.
Ah?
Everyone looked at each other.
Two pills for three families to share, do we have to break the pills apart?
What if, after breaking them, the medicinal effect is not enough and it's useless, a waste of the pills?
What should we do?
Everyone also began to look worried.
