Chapter 319 - The Five Imperial Elders (2/2)
Bai Cangling was hesitant but decided not to stop Ou Yangming because he knew better than anyone else how precious the Spirit-connecting Pill was.

“The Myriad Treasure Meet is meant to let partic.i.p.ants strive for prestige, so it’s normal for one to use different means. Senior, you’re being too polite.” Ou Yangming’s face changed, and he waved his hand. “I can’t accept such a valuable item.”
He did not know much about medicine, but the words Spirit-connecting Pill resounded in his ears.
It was recorded in the Ni family’s inheritance that the pill was not from this world, or perhaps it was exceedingly tough to refine the pill in this world.
The existing Spirit-connecting Pills were acquired from beyond the world by past generations, and it was not recorded in detail in ancient books how the treasure could be obtained. Even so, the fact that it was gained from outside the world proved how precious it was.
Perhaps the Secret Realm genuinely wanted to offer an apology. After all, it was quite shocking that 26 Supreme Great Ancestors were born.
As long as Fei Daming had normal to high IQ, he would mend the Secret Realm’s relations.h.i.+p with Ou Yangming at all costs. Despite that, there was only an argument between them because of their respective forces.
If a Spirit-connecting Pill was needed to make up for the enmity, it would be too unbelievable.
“Master Ou, apart from increasing one’s mental power, the pill has another function.” Fei Daming chuckled and continued after a short pause, “If an elder consumes this pill, he or she will gain good health and longevity.”
Ou Yangming’s face changed, and he looked deeply at the man. Fei Daming kept a friendly smile on his face. The young fellow later sighed. He did not want to accept the item at first, but Fei Daming’s words. .h.i.t his soft spot.
Even if it was for Old Craftsman, he could not miss the pill.
Ou Yangming reached out to accept the jade porcelain bottle, then he thanked the great ancestor seriously, “Thank you, Senior Fei.”
“Master Ou, you’re most welcome.” Fei Daming waved his hand and smiled, then he added after a pause, “This Spirit-connecting Pill is just a gift from us to make amends. When I visit you in the future, I’ll definitely prepare some modest gifts.” “I look forward to welcoming you.” Ou Yangming nodded after some thought. Since Fei Daming paid such a huge price, Ou Yangming was naturally going to let the elder visit him. Moreover, the young fellow did not mind grooming a Supreme Great Ancestor for the Secret Realm. “Brother Fei, are you satisfied now?” Bai Cangling scoffed.
“I was able to get Master Ou’s forgiveness so of course, I’m satisfied,” Fei Daming responded casually, then he smiled faintly at Bai Cangling and asked, “Brother Bai, are you not content?”
Bai Cangling was startled, and he answered with a false smile, “Content! Of course, I’m content! The Yi Pavilion’s ranked first for prestige, so how could I not be content?”
Fei Daming twitched his mouth without saying a word. When Ou Yangming watched them from aside, he figured that the two Supreme Great Ancestors held grudges against each other, or they would not oppose one another.
In any case, Ou Yangming was still with the Yi Pavilion.
On the other hand, Wu Xuanji shook his head. His voice continued to echo in the square as he announced the top ten forces of the Myriad Treasure Meet.
Ou Yangming was surprised to hear that the He family from Linlang County was part of the top ten forces, and He Hanyang was the one who came to the center of the square. The He family’s Supreme Great Ancestor had a smile on his face, and he did not treat the young fellow with an unusual att.i.tude as there were no unpleasant affairs between them.
The top ten forces of the Myriad Treasure Meet would be given certain authorities and huge benefits.
Needless to say, they had nothing to do with Ou Yangming. At last, when Wu Xuanju declared that Ou Yangming was the victor of the Martial Arts Battle at the Myriad Treasure Meet this year, the square was filled with rumbling cheers.
Although the crowd did not observe tragic life-or-death fights, they were pleased to have witnessed the birth of more than 20 Supreme Great Ancestors.
As for the people who challenged Ou Yangming… When more than 30 powerhouses at the peak of Yang Grade Cla.s.s Five went up to the ring at the same time, n.o.body dared to challenge him anymore. After all, offending Ou Yangming would mean offending those powerhouses and their respective forces. Even Zuoqiu Hongyuan and Wu Hanning withdrew themselves and left, let alone the other people.
Once Wu Xuanji was done making his announcement methodically, he turned to ask, “Ll’ Friend Ou, His Majesty would like to meet you. What do you think?”
“His Majesty the Emperor?” Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows as he was surprised.
“That’s right.”
Ou Yangming had a strange look on his face. It was then that he finally realized that his status had indeed become completely different from before.
Back then, he would have to go through strict selection to present himself before His Majesty the Emperor; now, the emperor had to send the imperial family’s great elder to ask for his opinion.
The difference between both cases was unbelievable.
Ou Yangming inhaled deeply, and his eyes glowed. “It’s my honor to be able to have an audience with His Majesty.”
“Very well.” Wu Xuanji and the four other elders exchanged glances. They were very pleased with Ou Yangming’s att.i.tude.
“Lil’ Friend Ou, Hanning will bring you to the palace later. We’ll be making a move first.”
With that, the Five Imperial Elders left with smiles. When Ou Yangming turned to look, he was greeted with a black scarf, which made his heart beat.
In the crowd, Bai s.h.i.+xue scoffed softly as she was disgruntled. ‘When did the imperial family become so lowly? How could they let Her Royal Highness seduce him? They’re so shameless!’
