Nangong Shengtian and Nangong Shengji sat high and mighty on the main seats, looking down at Ning Kang as he entered the hall under Nangong Yi’s lead.

Ning Kang’s legs trembled uncontrollably as he stood before the two, his face slightly pale.

Both of these individuals were of the Dharma Manifestation Realm.

In the entire Great Qian Dynasty, they were titans capable of shaking the earth thrice with just a stomp of their feet.

Either could match his master’s ancestor, the overall Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion of the Great Qian Dynasty, Nalan Qianqiu.

"Ning Kang pays respect to the two seniors!" Ning Kang knelt before them with a thud, his voice quivering.

Nangong Shengji squinted his eyes, looking completely at ease.

Nangong Shengtian said indifferently, "Ning Kang, what business do you have with us?"

Ning Kang hurriedly said, "Ancestor Nangong, I have come across a piece of vital news concerning the life and death of the Nangong Family and have made a special trip to notify you both!"

"Heh, my Nangong Family has stood at the pinnacle of the Great Qian Dynasty for many years, who could possibly threaten the Nangong Family?" Nangong Shengtian said with an indifferent face, his confidence and determination in his words showing no sign of concern for the all-out assault the Treasure Pavilion was mounting against the Nangong Family.

The Nangong Family had indeed stood firm for many years, with their own foundation and confidence.

After all.

The actions of one of the four great families could affect them all.

Even though the Dongfang and Ximen Families were at odds with the Nangong Family, if there truly was a force intending to uproot the Nangong Family, those two families would not stand idly by.

You should know...

The reason these four great families have managed to stand for so many years is their unity!

As Nangong Shengtian spoke, Ning Kang’s heart became somewhat chaotic, and he hurriedly said, "Ancestor Nangong, please believe me, this news truly relates to the life and death of the Nangong Family."

Nangong Shengtian said, "Then let’s hear it."

"This..."

Ning Kang feigned hesitation.

Nangong Shengtian said calmly, "If your news is as you say, concerning the life and death of the Nangong Family, I naturally will not mistreat you. Did I not give you a hundred million Silver when you disclosed Xiao Yi’s whereabouts before? If this news is indeed as important as you claim, I can promise you ten times that amount!"

Gulp!

Ning Kang swallowed hard.

Ten times?

That would be a billion Silver!

With so much money, why would he stay at the Treasure Pavilion? He could just take the money and flee, living a life of wealth!

With that thought in mind.

Ning Kang said solemnly, "Ancestor Nangong, have you noticed that recently the pharmacies in the Treasure Pavilion have been lowering their prices across the board? I’ve learned that Nalan Qianqiu now has a mysterious master by her side, a man with extremely adept alchemy skills. He’s the one who arrived at the Treasure Pavilion seven days ago, and from the second day onwards, our Treasure Pavilion began heavily discounting all the medicinal pills for sale!"

"Hm?"

"A master?"

Nangong Shengji’s tightly closed eyes sprang open, a flash of cold light passing through them as he leaned forward and said in a stern voice, "Do you know the master’s name and surname?"

"I know, I know, my father calls him Master Fu Yuan!" Ning Kang hurriedly said.

’Master Fu Yuan?’

"I remember now, among the powerhouses Xiao Yi brought back from Beast Emperor City, there was a Seven-Star Alchemist called Fu Yuan!"

Nangong Shengtian’s face changed dramatically, his handgrips bursting from his grip, "Damn it, all of this must be Xiao Yi’s doing, that little bastard has a bet with me for a month. I wondered why the Treasure Pavilion suddenly started fighting us recklessly—it must be because of that bastard Xiao Yi. I’m going to Xiaoshanhe Institute right now to kill him..."

"Stop!"

Nangong Shengji said coldly.

His voice boomed like thunder, exploding through the hall.

A chilling aura pervaded the entire hall, causing the enraged Nangong Shengtian to tremble and come to a sudden halt.

Nangong Shengji squinted his eyes as he sized up Ning Kang, speaking indifferently, "If that’s the information you’re talking about, it’s certainly not worth ten billion!"

Ning Kang’s lips turned white.

Nangong Shengji’s presence made him feel as though he had fallen into an ice cellar, his body trembling slightly, he quickly said, "Reporting to the Nangong, I, I have brought another piece of information... The reason the Treasure Pavilion can suppress the prices of their elixirs so low is all because Master Fu Yuan has a secret recipe that can double the success rate and rate of top-quality elixirs no matter what kind of elixir it is once it’s added!"

Hiss!

As soon as these words came out, Nangong Shengtian and the others couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

The success rate and rate of top-quality elixirs can both be doubled?

If that’s really the case...

It meant that the cost could be reduced by at least half, and with the increase in success and top-quality rates, the cost might very well be controlled to around thirty percent!

"No wonder the Treasure Pavilion dares to push the prices down to this level!"

"If this secret recipe is real, and we can get our hands on it, considering the price at which we purchase from the Beitang Family, wouldn’t we be making a profit even if we sold it at ten percent of the current price..."

Nangong Shengji and Nangong Shengtian exchanged glances.

But neither of them trusted Ning Kang on this alone, Nangong Shengji, still squinting his eyes, said, "Ning Kang, would you like to earn more money?"

"Hm?"

Ning Kang was startled.

Nangong Shengji continued, "If you can get your hands on this secret recipe, I can reward you with one hundred billion silver, and additionally, I promise to let you join the Nangong Family and grant you the Nangong surname."

Thump!

Thump!

Ning Kang’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his breathing became hurried, and his eyes reddened.

Not to mention joining the Nangong Family, just that hundred billion silver was enough to make his heart race.

Of course.

If he actually did this...

He would also be completely standing against the Treasure Pavilion.

After hesitating for a moment.

Ning Kang said in a deep voice, "The two ancestors can rest assured, I will definitely find a way to get that secret recipe!"

"We await your good news!"

Nangong Shengji gave a slight smile and then looked towards Nangong Yi, "Yi’er, take Ning Kang down and give him ten billion silver as a reward!"

"Yes!"

Nangong Yi immediately led Ning Kang away.

Leaving only Nangong Shengji and one other...

Nangong Shengtian asked in a grave voice, "Family head, do you believe what he said?"

"Does it matter whether I believe it or not? If he truly can bring us that secret recipe and it proves effective after we test it, then it will be an unexpected joy. If not, we have lost nothing!" Nangong Shengji said indifferently, then squinting at Nangong Shengtian, "Let Nangong Yi handle the matters concerning the Beitang Family. You go to the Treasure Pavilion at once and try to meet Master Fu Yuan. If you can persuade him to join us, that would be best. If not, find a way to get rid of him..."

"Yes!"

Nangong Shengtian left at once.

Meanwhile.

On the Xuanwu Square, the genius battle had finally come to its last fight, a clash that would determine the top talent of this event.

The vast Xuanwu Square was already teeming with people.

On the high platform.

Xiao Yi sat squarely in the center, his gaze fixed on the two figures on the stage, a peculiar light flickering through his eyes, "He actually managed to hold out until now, what a pleasant surprise!"
