Immortal God of War-Chapter 726 - 691: Shock_1

Sun Dahai eyed the two, saying, "The total value of these medicinal ingredients is 565.3 billion. I can round it down for you."

"Knocking off 65.3 billion just like that? Elder Sun, you’re really generous! Thank you," Fatty was overjoyed.

"It’s Master Fatty! Saying thank you is too polite," Sun Dahai waved his hand and chuckled.

But before he could finish, his expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly said, "Brother, the amount I meant to round off was 0.3 billion, not 65.3 billion! Don’t misunderstand!"

"0.3 billion?" Fatty paused, his face instantly darkening. "Old man Sun, you’re going back on your word?"

"When did I agree to that?"

"I said I’d round off the odd amount for you, and isn’t that odd amount 0.3 billion?"

"You misunderstood me," Sun Dahai said anxiously.

"The ’odd amount’ could be 5.3 billion, or it could even be 65.3 billion," Fatty argued. "You’re the one who wasn’t clear, and now you want to go back on it?"

"Old man, you can’t go back on your word in business. That would damage the Treasure Pavilion’s reputation," Fatty said.

"Then I’m not selling! The loss is too great," Sun Dahai said, flustered.

Qin Feiyang put down his Qiankun Bag, looked up at Sun Dahai, and said with a faint smile, "Elder Sun, this money is a small matter. I came to discuss a big deal with you."

Sun Dahai paused, asking curiously, "What big deal?"

Qin Feiyang said, "I need the Dragon Blood from your Treasure Pavilion..."

Before Qin Feiyang could finish, Sun Dahai shook his head. "Absolutely not. The Dragon Blood is definitely not for sale."

"Don’t be so quick to refuse." Qin Feiyang smiled faintly, took out a Potential Elixir, and placed it on the tea table.

"Four Elixir Patterns!" As soon as Sun Dahai saw the Elixir Patterns on the Potential Elixir, his eyes lit up.

Qin Feiyang chuckled. "I didn’t ask you to look at the Elixir Patterns. Have you ever seen this type of elixir before?"

Sun Dahai picked up the elixir and examined it carefully. A hint of suspicion crept onto his old face as he muttered, "Strange, how have I never seen this before?"

"It would be strange if you had," Fatty snorted disdainfully.

But he was extremely confused. Didn’t Boss say he wasn’t going to sell the Potential Elixir? Why is he proactively showing it now?

Sun Dahai glanced at Fatty, then turned to Qin Feiyang with a smile. "Young brother, don’t keep me in suspense. Just tell me directly!"

"This elixir is called the Potential Elixir," Qin Feiyang explained. "It’s refined from thirty-three types of medicinal ingredients. Its purpose is to help people open the Door of Potential."

"I see!" Sun Dahai nodded in understanding.

But suddenly, he shot to his feet, staring intently at Qin Feiyang. "What did you just say? Open the Door of Potential?"

Qin Feiyang nodded.

Sun Dahai felt as if he’d been struck by lightning on a clear day. His mind reeled, and as he looked at the Potential Elixir in his hand, his face filled with disbelief.

Are you kidding me? The Door of Potential can actually be opened with an elixir? This can’t be real. It definitely can’t be real!

He looked at Qin Feiyang, his expression grave. "Young brother, I don’t like jokes."

"Who’s in the mood to joke with you?" Fatty snorted coldly, ripping open the front of his shirt. "Look at this!"

Sun Dahai looked over, surprised and suspicious. When he saw the Potential Mark, his pupils contracted. He quickly rushed to Fatty’s side to examine the mark closely.

Fatty rolled his eyes. "Relax, it’s not painted on with ink."

Sun Dahai glanced up at him, then lowered his head to stare at the Potential Mark again.

Gradually, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself, "This really is a Potential Mark... Damn it... This isn’t a dream..."

He slumped into his chair, seemingly drained of strength, still finding it hard to believe as he looked at the Potential Elixir in his hand.

After a moment, he looked at Fatty, frowning. "How can you prove your Door of Potential was opened by this Potential Elixir?"

"Damn it, how am I supposed to prove something like that?" Fatty was somewhat annoyed.

Sun Dahai shook his head. "Then I can’t just take your word for it. After all, this is too incredible."

Qin Feiyang chuckled. "You could find someone to test it."

"Who?" Sun Dahai asked instinctively. To be honest, he was still a bit dazed.

Qin Feiyang said, "Anyone will do, as long as their cultivation is at the Nine-Star level."

Sun Dahai asked, "What about me? I’m a Nine-Star War Ancestor. Would it work for me?"

"Yes," Qin Feiyang nodded. "But the prerequisite is that you need to find someone stronger than you to use their suppressive might to help you open the Door of Potential."

"Alright, I’ll go try it. Wait here for a moment." After saying this, Sun Dahai stood up and hurriedly left.

After Sun Dahai left, Fatty immediately furrowed his brows and asked in confusion, "Boss, what exactly are you scheming?"

"I had no other choice; I was forced into this," Qin Feiyang sighed deeply, then briefly explained to Fatty about the Hall Master of the Elixir Palace seeking him out.

"So that’s what happened." After listening, Fatty had a sudden realization. "So you want to use the Treasure Pavilion to reveal the Potential Elixir?"

"Exactly," Qin Feiyang said. "If the news came from us, not many would believe it. But the Treasure Pavilion is different. As long as the Treasure Pavilion releases this information, it will instantly cause a huge storm in the Imperial Capital."

Fatty nodded. That was true. The Treasure Pavilion’s reputation was known to all, so no one would suspect them of deception.

「On the outskirts of the First City District, there was a detached courtyard.」

The courtyard wasn’t large, but it was filled with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers; small, lush trees exuded boundless vitality.

At this moment, a woman in a long white dress was half-squatting among the flowers, simultaneously watering and weeding.

She appeared to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with an exquisite figure and unparalleled beauty.

Her voluminous black hair, glossy and lustrous, was casually draped over her delicate shoulders, and her every movement exuded a unique charm.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, an old man with white hair appeared out of thin air; it was Sun Dahai.

Sun Dahai looked at the woman in white with utmost respect and said, "Greetings, Pavilion Master."

Clearly, this woman was the Pavilion Master of the Grand Pavilion! All the Treasure Pavilions in the entire Great Qin Empire were under her jurisdiction; her power and influence were immense.

The woman in white looked up at Sun Dahai and smiled. "Elder Sun, what brings you here?"

Her smile was captivating. Her voice was also very melodious, like an oriole singing as it emerges from a valley, yet it inspired no irreverent thoughts.

"Today, I encountered something truly incredible, and I wish to ask for your help, Pavilion Master, to verify it." As Sun Dahai spoke, he walked towards the woman, then took out the Potential Elixir and presented it to her.

"Oh?" The woman examined the Potential Elixir and asked doubtfully, "What kind of elixir is this?"

"A Potential Elixir. It’s said to be able to open the Door of Potential," Sun Dahai replied. Even as he said it, he himself found the claim somewhat absurd.

The woman paused for a moment, examining the Potential Elixir closely. Looking up at Sun Dahai, she chuckled. "Elder Sun, since when did you learn to tell jokes?"

Sun Dahai gave a wry smile. "Pavilion Master, do I look like I’m joking?"

Looking at Sun Dahai’s expression, it was clear he truly wasn’t joking.

At that, she realized the gravity of the situation. Setting down the watering can, she took the Potential Elixir and asked with a frown, "Who gave this to you?"

Sun Dahai replied, "A disciple from the Temple."

"Tell me the details," the woman said, continuing to examine the Potential Elixir as she walked towards a nearby pavilion.

Sun Dahai followed her, recounting everything in detail without withholding anything.

Once they entered the pavilion, the woman handed the Potential Elixir back to Sun Dahai and said with a smile, "If what he said is true, then you’ve stumbled upon a great fortune this time. Take it!"

Sun Dahai nodded. That was no exaggeration. If he truly succeeded in opening the Door of Potential, it would indeed be an immense gain.

He took a deep breath and placed the Potential Elixir in his mouth.

The Potential Elixir melted instantly upon entering his mouth. Immediately, an immeasurably vast energy surged through his entire body.

Simultaneously, the woman released a sliver of her suppressive might.

Although it was just a sliver of suppressive might, Sun Dahai was immediately forced to one knee on the spot.

One must understand, Sun Dahai was a Nine-Star War Ancestor, yet he couldn’t even withstand a mere sliver of the woman’s suppressive might. One could only imagine how terrifying her cultivation was!

"AHHH..." Despite Sun Dahai’s considerable strength, the excruciating pain radiating from within his body made him feel like life was worse than death; he howled incessantly in agony. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Furthermore, blood was spurting from every pore on his body! In an instant, he was drenched in blood, a gruesome sight.

About twenty breaths later, BOOM!

A deep, rumbling sound suddenly erupted within Sun Dahai’s body, as if some kind of internal shackle had been shattered.

Immediately after, the pain vanished, replaced by an immense sense of comfort throughout his body. He felt as if he had been reborn in that instant, his vitality and spirit completely different from before.

"How do you feel?" the woman asked with a smile.

"At first, it felt like I’d passed through Death’s Door, but now I feel incredibly comfortable," Sun Dahai replied. He then tore open his clothes, wiped the blood from his chest, and was instantly dumbfounded.

The smile on the woman’s face also froze.

There on Sun Dahai’s chest was a distinct, white Potential Mark!

"It actually worked!" They stared at each other, dumbfounded.

Suddenly, the woman shivered, then looked at Sun Dahai with an extremely serious expression. "Elder Sun, listen to me, you absolutely must establish a good relationship with him."

"I understand," Sun Dahai nodded.

For the Treasure Pavilion, someone who can refine such an elixir is practically a God of Wealth!

The woman waved her hand. "Go wash the blood off yourself first. Then, have a proper talk with him and try to find out as much as you can about his background."

"Understood," Sun Dahai responded respectfully. He then opened a transportation portal and hurriedly departed.

"Potential Elixir..." The woman gazed at the clouds in the distance, murmuring to herself, "When did the Great Qin Empire produce such an elixir? It seems the heavens are about to change in the Imperial Capital."

...

「At the same time. Elixir Palace.」

A man wearing a mask and the attire of the Elixir Palace strode into the square.

This man was about 1.8 meters tall and slim. Although his true features were hidden, his dark eyes were remarkably sharp and expressive.

"Senior Brother Lin Dian!" Seeing this man appear, Gao Ming immediately ran over, preparing to salute him. He knew the man’s identity.

But before Gao Ming could speak, the masked man whispered, "Dispense with the formalities, lest my identity be exposed."

Wan Chou was initially quite puzzled, but upon hearing this, he had a sudden realization, and his demeanor instantly became incredibly respectful.
