Supreme Sword Sovereign-Chapter 52 – He... actually opened a medicinal pill!
"What is that!"
"No way, is there really something?"
"Stop dawdling, just open it already, don't torture us like this!"
"……"
At this moment.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Everyone had stopped mocking Gu Han, all holding their breath, eyes unblinking as they stared at the object in Gu Han's right hand.
Crack!
A soft sound.
The final layer of stone coating shattered.
And in Gu Han's hand... a three-inch long jade bottle suddenly appeared!
However.
Aside from a small part that retained its original color, the rest of the bottle was mottled, almost impossible to discern its original appearance.
"Pfft!"
Someone scoffed disdainfully.
"I thought it was something special, turns out it's just a useless pill."
"Ptui! Always keeping us in suspense, playing with our expectations."
"There is something, but alas, it's utterly useless. As expected, nothing good comes out of Mysterious Stones!"
"……"
Amidst the discussion.
Disdain once again appeared on everyone's faces.
Subconsciously, they also breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing!
It was just a bottle of useless pills!
"……"
Jiang Feng shook his head secretly.
Such jade bottles had been found before, but without exception, after the endless passage of time, the medicinal power within had completely dissipated, becoming worthless waste pills.
Ignoring everyone else.
Gu Han was examining the jade bottle.
Hm?
Are there characters?
Suddenly.
He noticed faint traces of a character etched at the bottom of the bottle.
However.
Eroded by time.
The writing had become blurred, leaving only a tiny fraction visible.
After a long look.
Gu Han managed to discern from the remaining strokes.
The character '小' (Small).
He frowned.
Small?
Small what?
At this moment.
Seeing Gu Han's expression, Director Ma almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Still too young!
"Guest."
He deliberately consoled: "Don't be like this, stone gambling is always a game of wins and losses, it's perfectly normal. This useless pill may be worthless, but it still has some collectible value... it could be worth a few Yuan Crystals."
"Right, guest."
Fan Qi also chimed in.
"Don't lose heart, there's still a bigger piece, do you want to open that one too?"
"Open it! Of course, open it!"
"Yes! The bigger piece must contain something!"
"Hahaha, maybe there's another useless pill in there!"
"……"
For a moment.
Mocking words were endless.
Fatty's lips twitched in frustration.
Ah... how embarrassing!
"Useless pills?"
Gu Han's gaze swept over the crowd, a cold sneer on his lips.
"Which of your eyes saw them as useless pills?"
"He's getting anxious, he's anxious!"
"Then open it and take a look!"
"Exactly, once you open it, you'll give up completely!"
"……"
The crowd started to jeer again.
"Fine."
Gu Han nodded, expressionless.
"Then I'll dazzle your blind eyes!"
With that.
He directly opened the bottle's lid.
In an instant, a refreshing fragrance wafted out!
"It smells so good!"
"What's this scent?"
"My cultivation bottleneck... seems to have loosened!"
"……"
Suddenly.
Everyone forgot everything else, completely immersed in the fragrance.
By Gu Han's side.
Jiang Feng and Manager Li were in disbelief.
No way...
Did he really find something?
"This medicinal pill..."
Beside them.
Fatty's eyes were red with excitement.
"Great stuff, great stuff..."
While speaking.
He jolted forward, squeezing in front of Gu Han.
"Come on, let Fatty have a look!"
Gu Han, unsuspecting, poured the pill into his hand and held it up to Fatty's eyes.
The pill before them was dark in color, its spiritual luster long gone, but at the tip, there was a rice grain-sized area that was milky white, still retaining some medicinal power.
And the fragrance...
It was coming from there!
"Great stuff!"
Fatty was almost drooling.
"Let Fatty taste it for you!"
As he spoke.
He opened his mouth wide, aiming to bite the pill in Gu Han's hand.
"Holy shit!"
Gu Han was startled.
"Fatty, are you a dog or something?"
"Let me taste it!"
At this moment, Fatty had lost all shame, pleading desperately: "Just one bite, just one bite is enough!"
"Get lost!"
Gu Han's face darkened.
"I'm going to hit you!"
At this moment.
Everyone gradually came to their senses.
He found something!
He... actually found something!
And it seemed to be an ancient, miraculous medicinal pill!
This guy...
What kind of dumb luck did he have!
Envy.
Jealousy.
Greed.
……
Everyone's eyes were glued to the pill, a mix of emotions swirling within, indescribable feelings in their hearts.
At this moment.
Director Ma and Fan Qi were dumbstruck!
They were filled with regret!
Such a pill, if placed in the Treasure Pavilion, would be the treasure of the establishment!
But now...
It had been sold by their own hands!
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
"Fifty percent off..."
Fan Qi muttered with a smile that was more like a cry.
"Fifty percent... fifty percent off..."
Whoosh!
Just then.
A figure suddenly appeared at the scene.
It was Tian Heng, drawn by the fragrance from the fifth floor.
"Pavilion Master."
Director Ma quickly greeted with a bow.
"I..."
His face was filled with bitterness.
What had he just said?
It seemed like... no refunds?
"Useless thing!"
Disgustedly glancing at the somewhat foolish Fan Qi, Tian Heng's gaze immediately fell on the pill.
His heart...
Was also in pain!
He was knowledgeable and naturally understood.
Although the pill had lost most of its medicinal power, barely one-tenth remaining, it was still a rare treasure!
Even Du Teng and Doctor Xue.
Could definitely not concoct such a pill!
"This pill..."
He suddenly turned to Gu Han.
"Let me see it!"
His tone carried a hint of greed!
He was determined to have this pill!
"See?"
Gu Han retracted his hand.
"There's no need for that!"
"What did you say!"
A flash of cold light passed through Tian Heng's eyes.
Seeing his reaction, how could the crowd not realize? The value of this pill was probably greater than they had imagined!
"Pavilion Master Tian."
By Gu Han's side, Manager Li spoke with a sinister tone: "The item belongs to the guest, whether to show it or not is his decision! What you're doing... seems a bit too forceful, doesn't it?"
"Indeed!"
Jiang Feng also spoke up.
"The item belongs to Brother Gu, how he deals with it is his choice!"
"……"
Tian Heng's face flickered between shades.
On one hand, he was somewhat wary of Jiang Feng's status.
On the other, as the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, if he were to snatch the pill in public, the Pavilion's reputation would be utterly ruined.
However.
How could he just let it go so easily?
At this moment.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
Only Fatty.
Was still pestering Gu Han nonstop.
"I won't eat it, just let me lick it, just one lick is enough..."
"Fatty!"
Gu Han got goosebumps all over.
"Isn't that disgusting?!"
Even Jiang Feng.
Subconsciously moved a bit further away from Fatty.
"It's almost gone!"
Fatty's face was mournful.
"The medicinal power of this pill is constantly dissipating, you bastard, can't you see? If we don't eat it now, it'll be too late!"
What!
Gu Han was startled.
A glance revealed that the milky white area on the pill had indeed shrunk a bit since before.
"Quick!"
Tian Heng lost his composure.
"Give it to me! I know how to preserve it!"
"Give it to you?"
Gu Han sneered.
"Why should I? If it can't be preserved, then I'll just eat it!"
Saying so.
He pinched the pill, splitting it into two halves.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Fatty was overjoyed.
"Eat it quickly, if you wait too long, there won't be much potency left! Don't worry, after eating half of your pill, Fatty will definitely remember this favor..."
Mid-sentence.
The smile on his face suddenly froze.
"Ah-Sha."
Gu Han ignored him, handing the pill to Ah-Sha's lips.
"Here, eat this, it's something good."
"Oh."
Ah-Sha obediently swallowed the pill.
Then.
In the face of Fatty's heartbroken expression, he tossed the other half into his own mouth...
