him, of course, was his son Xia Shi!Xia Zhongxing looked up at Luo Baichuan with a cold expression and said, "Luo Baichuan, you want to arrest nothing more than my father and son. You let the others l...Although Gingercloud had offered enough spirit stones, a trace of impatience remained on the middle-aged man's face as he reluctantly accepted the pill of Ascension.

For those in business, a pair of eyes is extremely sharp.

From Ginger Cloud's attire, cultivation level, age, especially the vicissitudes on his face, he concluded that Ginger Cloud was nothing more than a down-on-his-luck cultivator.

He not only doesn't have any powerful background, but he might even be impoverished and unable to afford cultivation. Therefore, he takes out a pill to sell.

Such a kind of elixir, no matter how good it is, there's a limit. That's why he kept deliberately making things difficult.

However, when his eyes fell on the appearance of this elixir, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart skipped a beat.

Judging solely from its appearance, this pill's quality is quite high.

Then, he placed the pill under his nose. A burst of medicinal fragrance filled the air instantly, causing him to gasp in surprise.

Although he tried his best to control his reaction and not appear too shocked, he was still unable to contain the astonishment in his heart, causing the muscles on his cheeks to twitch slightly.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on his face. Those with sharp eyes naturally noticed the subtle changes in his expression.

Suddenly, everyone's curiosity was piqued, and they all blurted out, "What kind of pill is this What are its effects"

Could you give us some explanation so we can broaden our horizons!

On the other hand, Ginger Cloud was watching calmly.

From the few movements he made after receiving the elixir, it wasn't difficult to tell that the other party truly understood medicine. Naturally, they would be able to recognize this Heavenly Ascension Pill.

Now, let's see how he evaluates this pill.

As for the other party pretending to be ignorant or deliberately saying the wrong thing in order not to refund the one thousand spirit stones, Jiang Yun didn't worry about it at all.

Then, it would be even better.

A family renowned for alchemy, not even recognizing the Heavenly Ascension Pill, in front of so many people, their Qian family's reputation is completely ruined.

However, Jiang Yun wasn't polite either. "Don't tell me you can't recognize this pill If you can't, then don't force it. Go get the highest-ranked alchemist from your Qian family. Don't worry, I'll pay for the fee!"

Although the middle-aged man knew that Jiang Yun was deliberately teasing him as revenge for his previous harshness, he was truly very conflicted at this moment.

Because although he recognized that it was a Heavenly Ascension Pill, its efficacy exceeded all the Heavenly Ascension Pills he had ever seen, which made him somewhat uncertain about its grade.

Moreover, he was unwilling to admit that such a down-and-out man's pills were actually better than the ones his own family sold.

But if one were to say they didn't know, as Ginger Cloud had thought, it would be like openly smashing their own signboard.

After coldly glaring at Jiang Yun, the middle-aged man finally spoke: “I have identified this pill. It is a Heavenly Ascension Pill!”

After a pause, the man continued, "Furthermore, at least it's earth-rank. If you want to sell it, 5,000 low-grade spirit stones, our Qian family will take it!"

At that moment, the whole hall fell silent!

In the ancient desolate realm, medicinal pills were also divided into four ranks: heaven, earth, human, and mundane.

Ground-level medicinal herbs are already considered very rare.

Even with so many people here, very few have actually seen a ground-level elixir.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the Heavenly Ascending Pill, their gazes sparkling with anticipation.

Although the cultivation realm division in this world differs from the Shan Hai Realm, cultivators still need to open up blessed lands and celestial caves. Therefore, the Heavenly Ascension Pill is extremely important.

And a single Earth-grade Sky Piercing Pill would allow for the possibility of opening up a celestial cave, increasing the chances by several points. For cultivators at the peak of the Fortunate Land realm, it was simply something they yearned for deeply.

But upon hearing the other party's answer, Jiang Yun frowned because he could tell that the other party was telling the truth, it's a pity his eyesight was a little lacking!

Even the lowest-grade Heavenly Elixir on his own body was Heaven Rank, yet the other party considered it merely Earth Rank!

He probably hasn't seen many high-grade Heaven Ascension Pills, but he also doesn't believe his pill could reach the Heavenly Rank, so he said it was Earth Rank.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Just now you said that you could invite a more senior alchemist to appraise it. How many spirit stones would it take"

Upon hearing this from Ginger Cloud, the middle-aged man's face immediately fell, and a displeased expression appeared on his face. He said: “Does fellow Daoist not trust my judgment This pill of yours, although its effects are indeed extraordinary, at most it is only a terrestrial grade.”

Jiang Yun smiled and shook his head, saying nothing. He reached out directly to take the Heavenly Pill from the man's hand, but the man quickly pulled back his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I'll find someone else for you!"

This time, he surprisingly didn't bring up the matter of money.

Obviously, the preciousness of this elixir far exceeded any other expense, to the point where he made up his mind that he absolutely had to keep it in the Qian family.

After he finished speaking, he walked up to another young man and whispered a few words in his ear. Then, he saw the young man quickly leave and go up the stairs.

Moments later, the young man led down a white-bearded old man. He pointed at Jiang Yun, and the old man's face also held a displeased expression: "If the pills don't satisfy me, just wait and see how I deal with you when we get back!"

As they were speaking, the elder had already passed by Jiang Yun's side, not even glancing at him. He walked straight to the middle-aged man's side and reached out to take the Tiāntong Pill.

"Uncle Two, this..."

The middle-aged man had barely uttered a few words when the old man glared at him, forcing him to shut his mouth and refrain from speaking any further.

After a glance at the Tongtian Dan, the displeasure on the elder's face instantly vanished.

After having both seen and smelled it, he carefully scraped some powder with his fingernail and put it in his mouth.

At the first taste, a spark lit up in the elder's eyes. He finally turned his gaze to Jiang Yun and asked, "Is this pill what you brought here to sell us"

"Yes!"

"In that case, friend, please follow me!"

After he finished speaking, the old man immediately turned and walked towards the stairs.

He clearly saw the value of this pill, but he didn't want to haggle over the price in public with Jiang Yun. Doing so would inevitably affect their Qian family's business selling pills.

If it were someone else, they would definitely follow the old man upstairs. However, Jiang Yun was here specifically to cause trouble, so he smiled slightly and said: "There's no need to go upstairs, just tell me, how many spirit stones are you willing to pay for this pill"

Jiang Yun's words caused the old man, who was already halfway up the stairs, to stop abruptly. He turned around and looked at Jiang Yun, his eyes now filled with a menacing gleam.

But immediately after, he let out a cold laugh and said: “I let you go upstairs to talk, was it to give you some face Since you're unwilling to come up, then I won't force you. This pill, it's worthless. Take it and get out!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, the old man suddenly raised his hand and flung the pill in his grasp toward Jiang Yun.

Yet, a flash of cold light glinted in Jiang Yun's eyes. He didn't reach out to take the pill at all, instead allowing it to fall to the ground with a gurgle and roll to his feet.

Without even looking, Jiang Yun could determine that the pill on the ground at this moment was no longer his own Tiangong Pill.

To swallow that pill, and to ensure his family business wouldn't be affected, the old man discreetly swapped out the pill during a moment when he turned away.
