Chapter 461: Chapter 453 Verdant Blood Verdant_1

At the status of Pan Jianjun, he had already obtained many things that ordinary people only dream of having. It was precisely because he had experienced them that he was able to view wealth and power as mere passing clouds.

When climbing the peaks of life, before seeing the scenery on the other side of the mountain, one particularly yearns to see it, believing that it must be far more beautiful.

But once you truly reach the summit and look at it long enough, it becomes mundane.

What he now considered most precious was love, the woman before him who was about to die, his wife.

It was the fear of losing her that made him value her even more.

He was not confused. He had long known that the ruse of the Nine Insects Gang Leader introducing a foster sister to coincidentally meet him was a ploy of seduction.

Yet, he was willing to be ensnared by it.

“Jianjun… thank you for understanding me, for tolerating me! If there is an afterlife, I wish to fall in love with you clearly and cleanly, never to be separated again…”

She looked at her husband with an extremely gentle gaze, but her eyelids slowly closed.

Her hands then slid down powerlessly, hanging in the air.

A strong practitioner in the Spirit Qi Realm had just passed away so easily.

Pan Jianjun did not cry out in tearing grief. Instead, with a serious expression, he coldly told everyone around him, “I, as a sinner of Shennong Sect, am ashamed of the past sect leaders. I now pass on the position of sect leader to the Great Elder, Yuan Wenqing, and all matters of the Shennong Sect shall be decided by the new leader.”

As he finished speaking, Pan Jianjun threw a token from his hand, along with his sword, towards the Great Elder.

“These two items are the symbols of the sect leader. I entrust the future of Shennong Sect to Elder Yuan.”

“Why must the sect leader do this for a woman…”

Yuan Wenqing caught the token and the treasured sword, but he was desperately trying to persuade Pan Jianjun.

Without waiting for him to finish, Pan Jianjun interrupted him coldly.

“My mind is made up, no need for further words!”

After the transfer of the leadership, everyone thought Pan Jianjun was ready to fight to the death with the Black Tiger Gang Leader to avenge his wife.

Instead, Pan Jianjun urged his mount and sped toward the outskirts of the battlefield.

His personal guards protected him as they charged forward.

Pan Jianjun used one hand to support his wife’s back and then took out a dark red elixir as large as an egg. He removed the wax seal and swallowed it in one gulp.

“Sect leader, you mustn’t! The consequences of consuming the Verdant Blood Elixir are terrifying. At best it greatly reduces one’s lifespan, at worst it can be fatal…”

Yuan Wenqing cried out in despair.

So it turned out that this pill was known as the Verdant Blood Elixir. Qin Niu had heard of the notorious reputation of this elixir.

The elixir was extremely difficult to refine and very costly.

As for the effects of the Verdant Blood Elixir, there were different views. Some believed it was a miraculous pill that could bring back the dead, while others thought it could revive the dead and mend bones. There were also those who believed that this elixir came from the underworld, calling it the Netherworld Elixir.

There was even speculation that the ‘Verdant’ in its name was derived from the phrase ‘up to the verdant skies and down to the yellow springs’.

In any case, there were many legends about this elixir, but few had ever seen it.

The Shennong Sect was famous for its cultivation of medicinal herbs, producing a great variety of them.

As the sect leader, Pan Jianjun held most of the sect’s top resources, so obtaining a Verdant Blood Elixir was not surprising.

The Great Elder Yuan Wenqing was so anxious; it must indeed be true that the pill could reduce one’s lifespan.

Pan Jianjun’s desperate act to save his wife shocked many of those present.

You see, with Pan Jianjun’s status and cultivation, it would be no problem for him to find any number of beautiful, young women. Why would he pay such a heavy price for one woman?

Qin Niu watched from a distance.

After Pan Jianjun consumed the Verdant Blood Elixir, his skin gradually turned red, and a strong scent of blood emerged from his body.

The blood enveloped his wife, who he was holding in his arms, and continuously entered her body.

Moments later, Pan Jianjun’s mount carried the two of them out of the battlefield, vanishing from Qin Niu’s sight.

No one went after him.

Ordinary soldiers who dared to chase would simply be courting death. The Spirit Qi Realm experts of the Black Tiger Gang, as long as they weren’t out of their minds, would definitely not provoke Pan Jianjun at this time.

Anyone could see that the man was like a wild, crazed beast at that moment.

Whoever provoked him would be unlucky.

For them, winning the battle was enough.

There was no need to take a massive risk to chase down a supreme expert who had already renounced his leadership position.
