Chapter 57: Chapter 57 If I don’t enter Hell, who will!

"Extend life by three years?"

"How is that possible!"

Gu Ronghao and Elder Ye, after taking a deep breath of cold air, exclaimed in unison, their eyes almost falling to the ground!

"That Mr. Lin... said so..."

Gai Ruoyan looked at her father and Elder Ye, also somewhat uncertain.

"Huh—!"

Gu Ronghao also took a deep breath and asked solemnly, "Elder Ye, is this elixir really as Ruyan said? Can it really extend life by three years? It’s not fake, is it?"

Just then.

Elder Ye’s expression hardened as he said:

"Twenty years ago, at an overseas auction, an elixir was sold; it used thousand-year-old ginseng as its activator and was crafted by three Dan Kings from the Medicine God Palace, who worked together for forty-nine days. It was said to extend a mortal’s life by ten years and was last sold at an auction on Hong Kong Island for a sky-high price of one billion!"

"It was said that the buyer was a mysterious Chinese businessman!"

"One billion!"

Gu Ronghao gasped again in astonishment!

Ten billion twenty years ago was even more terrifying than one hundred billion today; back then, holding a billion was nearly equivalent to being the richest person in Huaxia!

"About thirteen years ago, at an auction in Europe, another elixir was auctioned, claimed to extend life by five years, and bought by a mysterious consortium for three hundred million US Dollars!"

"And ten years ago, at an underground auction in Southeast Asia, a life-extending elixir appeared, which even led to several underground forces fighting!"

As Elder Ye explained, he paced back and forth in the hall.

"Elixirs that can extend life are indeed too precious, every time one appears, it causes a frenzy! After all, if a leader of a consortium can live a few more years, the significance is truly immense! It’s simply not something money can measure!"

Elder Ye shook his head gently, staring at the elixir in his hand, lost in thought.

"Elder Ye, so is this elixir real or not?" Gu Haorong hurriedly asked.

This was his main concern; if the elixir was fake and could not extend life, then everything was in vain.

If it was real, then the significance would be different; ten elixirs that could extend life by three years, if well-managed, could also be an opportunity for the Gu Family’s rise!

As long as the Gu Family releases one elixir at intervals, over several years, their status in the Huaxia circle will surely soar!

With this thought, Gu Haorong’s gaze fell intensely on those elixirs, his breathing nearly stopped!

"This..."

Elder Ye’s eyebrows knotted tightly, his face reddening as he said, "This old man doesn’t know, this life-extending elixir is just too precious, I’ve never seen it before!"

"Then how can we distinguish it?" Gu Ronghao was somewhat disappointed.

"I can try the elixir. If it’s real, I should feel it!" Elder Ye set his mind and said through gritted teeth.

"What? Test it with your body!"

Gu Ronghao was greatly shocked.

Gai Ruoyan also hurriedly intervened, "Elder Ye, you absolutely can’t, you can’t take such a risk, what if there’s something wrong with the elixir..."

"That’s right! Elder Ye, you can’t have an accident, let’s have someone else try the elixir!" Gu Ronghao suggested.

The elderly man before them was too important for the Gu Family, as their status today was at least half due to Elder Ye.

If something were to happen to Elder Ye, then the position of the Gu Family would also plummet, never to recover!

"Alas, there’s no need, Buddha said: If I don’t enter hell, who will? Even if you let someone else try the elixir, they won’t know its effects; only this old man understands its nature and knows whether this Essence Nourishing Pill is truly useful!" Elder Ye sighed lightly.

Without waiting for a rebuttal from father and daughter of the Gu Family, Elder Ye picked up an Essence Nourishing Pill with his dry fingers and swallowed it!

"Gulp!"

Elder Ye’s throat moved slightly.

Gu Ronghao and Gai Ruoyan fixed their eyes intensely on Elder Ye’s reaction.

One minute!

Two minutes!

Five minutes had passed, and Elder Ye remained as calm as ever, with no reactions occurring.

"Huh?"

At the sixth minute, Elder Ye suddenly let out a light gasp.

"What’s the matter, Elder Ye?"

The Gu father and daughter almost simultaneously asked in unison.

"There’s a reaction!"

A hint of ecstasy flashed through Elder Ye’s eyes, and then he was startled to discover a terrifying warm current bursting forth from his Dantian, like a raging river, rushing into his limbs and bones!

"This is..."

With a whoosh, Elder Ye stood up from the Taishi Chair.

He was thrilled to find that his cultivation at the peak of ’Entry’ seemed to be slightly loosening, as if it were about to break free from its shackles and ascend to the next level!

"Now’s the time!"

Elder Ye shouted loudly, instantly releasing a terrifying wave of energy. The whole hall felt like a typhoon had swept through, all the precious porcelain burst with a ’bang bang bang’, instantly turning into dust.

The crystal chandelier at the hall’s dome also turned into shreds, scattering in all directions!

"Be careful!"

Elder Ye exclaimed softly, waving his sleeve, releasing a majestic mana, which swept up Gu Ronghao and Gu Ruyan away from the dangerous area!

After Gu Ronghao and Gu Ruyan stood firm and looked up, they couldn’t help but their pupils to shrink sharply!

"Elder Ye—how are you!"

Gu Ronghao and Gu Ruyan, faces flushed red, looked at Elder Ye in shock!

They saw that Elder Ye’s white hair had turned completely black and shiny, his skin had also changed from dry to moist, and most importantly, those previously dull eyes were now filled with brilliance, as if he had rejuvenated by more than ten years!

"Hahaha!"

"Who would have thought, this Essence Nourishing Pill has such great benefits for me, directly elevating me from the ’Entry’ realm to the ’Harmonization’ realm!" Elder Ye’s laughter, loud and sonorous, echoed in the hall like a cracked gong.

"What!"

Gu Ronghao and Gu Ruyan trembled in unison!

"Elder Ye, have you... successfully Harmonized?" Gu Ronghao asked, overwhelmed with joy.

Elder Ye was not a Martial Artist but a Cultivator, and once a Cultivator achieves ’Harmonization’, they can enter the realm of Cultivation Master, an equal to a Martial Arts Grandmaster!

With just one Elixir, it let Elder Ye successfully ’Harmonize’ and become a Cultivation Master on par with a Martial Arts Grandmaster?

"Exactly!"

Elder Ye nodded slightly, his whole demeanor had undergone a drastic change, as if a Banished Immortal had arrived!

He had been stuck at the pinnacle of ’Entry’ for seventeen or eighteen years. After becoming a Cultivation Master, Elder Ye felt that the Spiritual Energy in the world seemed even more dense, and with just a gesture, he could cast spells!

"This Essence Nourishing Pill is truly magical! Brother Gu, by all means, you must bring this Mr. Lin into the Gu Family. If this young man fully aids the Gu Family, within three years you could walk out of Jinling! Within ten years, you could claim the position of the first noble family in Huaxia!" Elder Ye said earnestly.

"What!"

Gu Ronghao was totally stunned!

"Elder Ye, you’re not joking, are you?"

Gu Ruyan widened her eyes, looking face to face with her father!

Just based on a young man, they could make their Gu Family the number one noble family in Huaxia?

How could that be possible!
