A Seven-Pattern Immortal Pill Stuns Everyone

The first floor of the Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce.

There are many complicated and varied items.

And at this moment.

A middle-aged man in brocade robes had a dark expression on his face, and the brocade box in his hand was empty.

In.

It was supposed to contain an Immortal Pill.

But then it vanished without a trace.

At this moment.

Elder Duan and Sikong Xue rushed over.

"Elder Duan! I need you to explain to me what's going on?"

The middle-aged man in brocade robes was the vice president of the Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce.

Yao Hao.

At this moment, he presented the brocade box in his hand to Elder Duan and questioned him loudly.

At this moment.

The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger.

There were people from Lone Smoke City, as well as members of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Vice President Yao, I've been extremely careful in keeping this Immortal Pill safe, storing it in the Chamber of Commerce's second vault. It was still there yesterday, so why is it here today...?"

"Yes, that's what I was going to ask you too. How did you just disappear today?"

Yao Hao sneered and said, "I entrusted this Immortal Pill to you for safekeeping because you are a veteran of the Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce. However, the guild's treasury is protected by array formations, preventing outsiders from entering. You must have stolen it from your own entourage!"

"Vice President Yao, the Chamber of Commerce's treasure trove isn't just for this old man..."

Are you trying to frame me by saying I took the Immortal Pill?

Yao Hao countered with a question.

Elder Duan had no way to defend himself.

"How could it be impossible? Everyone in the Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce knows that Grandpa Duan is an incredibly good person, with a reputation that has been passed down for over a century. How could he possibly steal from someone he's in charge of?"

Sikong Xue chimed in with dissatisfaction, "On the contrary, it's you who's always targeting Grandpa Duan. Isn't it because you feel that Grandpa Duan is in your way?"

Elder Duan grabbed her sleeve, telling her to stop talking.

The onlookers all had different expressions.

In particular, some members of the Chamber of Commerce knew Yao Hao. He came from a prominent Lineage in Lone Smoke City and had powerful backers, which allowed him to rise rapidly within the Chamber of Commerce.

Elder Duan, on the other hand, had no powerful connections or backing, which is why he was constantly bullied.

Now, they can only manage the first floor as a storage area.

"Where did this bastard come from?"

Yao Hao's face darkened upon hearing Sikong Xue's words, for the little girl had spoken his mind.

Old Man Duan is highly experienced and trusted by the chairman. With him around, he has indeed blocked many of my paths to wealth.

But what about today?

He has already taken complete control.

Old Man Duan had no powerful backers, was weak and alone, and couldn't make a fuss.

All we need to do is expel him from the Chamber of Commerce.

After that, he would have no more scruples.

"Guards, throw that bastard out!"

Yao Hao shouted, then looked at Elder Duan with a smile and said, "As for Elder Duan, you have indeed made great contributions. Pack your things before leaving the Chamber of Commerce, and I won't hold the loss of the Immortal Pill against you!"

After he finished speaking...

Two burly figures stepped forward and reached out to grab Sikong Xue.

Anger ignited in the latter's eyes.

They wanted to reveal their true cultivation level before taking action.

At this moment.

Elder Duan grasped her wrist and shook his head.

Left with no other choice.

She had no choice but to give up.

He let those two large hands keep getting closer.

Click!

Both hands landed with a thud.

The two burly henchmen felt a chill run down their spines; the cuts on their wrists were incredibly smooth.

Who is it?

Yao Hao was also startled.

Both of his subordinates were Eight-Star Martial Venerable.

Even if he's not a top expert, he's still quite skilled.

His hands were crippled in an instant.

All I saw was...

Chen Ning, holding Hua Luo's slender hand, slowly walked up from behind.

"Who are you? And why are you interfering in the affairs of my Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce?"

Yao Hao's eyes darkened.

Chen Ning smiled and said softly, "Elder Duan and my family have a long history; his affairs are my affairs."

"Didn't you ask?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Hao's expression also hardened.

He dared not act rashly before knowing who the other party was.

"It's none of your business."

Chen Ning stepped forward, looked at the brocade box, and smiled, "You say Elder Duan stole it from his post, do you have any evidence?"

"There is no concrete evidence, but even if he didn't steal it himself, he is still guilty of dereliction of duty!"

"It's just an Immortal Pill, just take it..."

Chen Ning spoke calmly.

Yao Hao sneered, "Easy for you to say. Even in the entire Cangxuan Domain, Immortal Pill are priceless treasures. You think you can just replace them as you please?"

As far as he knows.

In Lone Smoke City, there are indeed Lineage capable of producing Immortal Pill.

But such Lineage is not one that Old Man Duan could possibly aspire to.

At this time.

Chen Ning flicked his finger, and a top-grade pill with a rich color and seven red patterns appeared in the brocade box.

This elixir is now available!

Everyone around stared in disbelief!

"Immortal... Immortal Pill!"

"It's a top-grade immortal Immortal Pill with seven pill patterns!"

The reason Chen Ning took out a Seven-Pattern Immortal Pill was a choice made after careful consideration.

He could also produce the Nine-Patterned Immortal Pill.

But that would mean...

New troubles are bound to arise.

I learned from Yellow Sand Lord that the elixirs on the Vast Land are graded as follows: above Immortal Pill, there is Saint Elixir, and above that, Divine Pill.

However, the latter two are too precious.

This is not something you can see in a place like Lone Smoke City.

However, Immortal Pill are not as rare as they are in the Nine Provinces Realm.

At least.

In Lone Smoke City, there are still a few Lineage that can produce Immortal Pill.

When Sikong Xue saw the top-grade immortal Immortal Pill, her gaze froze for a moment. However, she guessed that Chen Ning was a member of some God Clan race, so she was not too shocked.

Upon seeing that Chen Ning had actually produced a top-grade Immortal Pill, Yao Hao's expression immediately darkened.

This is terrible!

The missing pill was merely a celestial Immortal Pill with three distinct patterns.

But the one before us is a top-grade immortal Immortal Pill with seven pill patterns.

The Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce suffered no losses.

On the contrary, they actually gained a great advantage.

Even.

After the appearance of the Immortal Pill with seven pill patterns, the reputation of the Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce grew even stronger.

The prominent Lineage in the city will surely find out immediately.

And he quickly bought the elixir.

So, when you calculate it this way...

Old Man Duan not only redeemed himself by doing good deeds, but also made the Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce a fortune.

Yao Hao's face was grim; he hadn't expected to be unable to drive Old Man Duan away after all.

After today.

Once the chairman returns and learns what happened, he will probably be able to uncover some clues.

He originally planned to get rid of Old Man Duan.

Even if the president comes back.

The die is cast.

Back then, whatever he said went.

But now that we've arrived, we don't know what changes might occur.

He stared resentfully at Chen Ning's exceptionally handsome face.

It's all this person's fault!

If this person hadn't ruined things, he would have successfully driven Old Man Duan away!

He sized up Chen Ning.

Guessing the other person's origins.

He recognized Lineage in Lone Smoke City that could produce Immortal Pill, including the younger generation; none of them had this particular person.

Could it be... that this person came from another city?

Although his two subordinates had both their hands crippled, Yao Hao dared not make any rash moves and could only swallow his anger, saying, "Sir, since Elder Duan has such a benefactor as you, let's just let the matter of the stolen Immortal Pill go."

Chen Ning remained calm and noncommittal.

Meanwhile...

Outside the gate of the Setting Sun Chamber of Commerce.

A gaze silently watched Chen Ning and Hua Luo.
