Ninggang Pill, this is a priceless treasure, and its effect is also very simple: it can help a Martial Artist at the Perfection of Inner Yuan Realm to condense Gang Yuan and step into the Gang Yuan Realm. Of course, it's not a 100% probability, it only serves as a supportive effect.
But even so, it is extremely precious.
If it were rumored that a Ninggang Pill had appeared anywhere, it would inevitably lead to a bloody storm.
But now.
Listening to Old Ancestor Wang, it seems he wants to use this Ninggang Pill as an apology gift?
Wang Qinghe immediately grew anxious.
The Wang Family only had this one such treasure.
"Old Ancestor!"
But Old Ancestor Wang just snorted, narrowing his eyes. Wang Qinghe immediately trembled, his face crestfallen. He gritted his teeth and rushed into the mansion. Not long after, he returned, holding a golden silk redwood box.
Old Ancestor Wang gestured slightly, and the wooden box landed in front of Dragon Mountain Daoist.
"This time, it was indeed our Wang Family who was rude first, but it's better to resolve enmity than to foster it. What do you think, Dragon Mountain Immortal Master?"
As these words came out, everyone's gaze towards Dragon Mountain Daoist immediately became even more reverent. It could be said that Old Ancestor Wang was almost using his own and the Wang Family's prestige to elevate Dragon Mountain Daoist. Killing a Family Disciple and offering a Ninggang Pill as an apology—such actions couldn't help but lead to various speculations.
Dragon Mountain Daoist's eyes narrowed slightly, then he finally smiled broadly:
"Senior Wang, you flatter me. This matter has nothing to do with others in the Wang Family. Since Wang Qingfeng is already dead, there's no talk of grievances. Later this year, I will hold the Heavenly Human Grand Ceremony at the True Martial Sect. At that time, I invite Senior Wang to grace us with your presence."
Old Ancestor Wang smiled faintly and nodded.
The Heavenly Human Grand Ceremony is a ceremony that most Heavenly Human Realm powerhouses with influential Legacies choose to hold. It's a good opportunity to strengthen their prestige and display their foundation.
"I will definitely attend at that time."
Everyone watched the two Heavenly Human Realm experts converse with smiles, completely devoid of the previous tension. They were puzzled, especially some young people, who were even more confused. It seemed Old Ancestor Wang had the advantage earlier, so why this attitude?
Only some old Jianghu veterans saw clearly.
This was the Wang Family Old Ancestor's apprehension regarding Dragon Mountain Daoist's potential.
Just imagine, if Old Ancestor Wang were to pass away in the future, and Dragon Mountain Daoist were at the peak of his power, what would happen if he remembered this old grievance one day?
Killing Wang Qingfeng was to give an explanation, and offering the Ninggang Pill was to show goodwill.
This two-pronged approach also accurately grasped Dragon Mountain Daoist's decisive yet trustworthy nature.
Dragon Mountain Daoist accepting the Ninggang Pill also signified the resolution of this grievance.
Everyone couldn't help but secretly praise Old Ancestor Wang, truly worthy of being an old fox who had lived for over seven hundred years, capable of bending and stretching. No wonder he could establish such a grand foundation.
Dragon Mountain Daoist bowed again, then departed, carrying the wooden box and the two corpses.
The Wang Family's main gate gradually closed.
Everyone was still unsatisfied, feeling that today's events were full of twists and turns. Their faces were incredibly excited, and as they dispersed, they continued to discuss, though trying to keep their voices low for fear of angering the Wang Family.
It was foreseeable.
Today's events would undoubtedly spread at an astonishing speed throughout Qingzhou, and even to other states. Dragon Mountain Daoist's reputation would also skyrocket.
Inside the Wang Family mansion.
Old Ancestor Wang's previously faint smile had turned cold, and a chilling aura emanated from his entire body.
Wang Qinghe and other high-ranking Wang Family members were all kneeling on the ground.
"The juniors are incompetent and have shamed Old Ancestor."
Old Ancestor Wang's voice was icy cold:
"You are indeed incompetent. After so many years, there isn't a single decent Heavenly Human Realm seedling. If the Wang Family had successors, why would it come to this today?"
There was anger in his eyes.
If only one person in the Wang Family had the Aptitude to advance to the Heavenly Human Realm, why would he have to humble himself and offer the Ninggang Pill today, even to the point of not having to crush Wang Qingfeng to death in public?
Wang Qinghe and the others knelt, feeling incredibly aggrieved, but also helpless.
After a long while.
Old Ancestor Wang finally let out a helpless sigh. The Wang Family's foundation was ultimately still lacking, incomparable to those millennium Sects and Families. Any millennium Family would have produced more than one Heavenly Human Realm expert, and some even possessed a complete path for cultivating Heavenly Human Realm experts.
These past years, he had been fighting alone. The Wang Family seemed prosperous, but in reality, as his lifespan approached its limit, there were already signs of decline. Coupled with internal Family strife, this point was further exacerbated.
Wang Qingfeng's attempt to seize the True Martial Legacy this time was, in fact, also due to this.
"If it really doesn't work, then I can only try my method from back then again..."
Old Ancestor Wang's eyes were deep.
Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to try such a method again.
But Dragon Mountain Daoist coming to their doorstep this time made him somewhat waver.
However, after a moment, he remembered a piece of news he had unintentionally overheard earlier.
"Perhaps... this can be done first..."
He thought of Dragon Mountain Daoist's Heavenly Human Grand Ceremony, and his eyes gradually brightened.
...
The news of the battle between Dragon Mountain Daoist and the Wang Family Old Ancestor spread throughout Qingzhou at an astonishing speed.
Discussions were happening everywhere.
Dragon Mountain Daoist's prestige was soaring. Many said that it was only a matter of time before Dragon Mountain Daoist entered the Great Yan celestial human rankings.
The celestial human rankings only lists thirty-six individuals.
Each one is a peerless powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of Great Yan.
celestial human rankings powerhouses can easily suppress ordinary Heavenly Human Realm experts.
In the thirteen states of Great Yan, almost only those who stood at the absolute peak of a state could enter the celestial human rankings.
Various news about Dragon Mountain Daoist and the True Martial Sect continued to ferment. The True Martial Sect also deservedly ascended to the ranks of top Sects, coming into everyone's view. However, what everyone anticipated the most was Dragon Mountain Daoist's Heavenly Human Grand Ceremony later on.
That would undoubtedly be another grand event in Qingzhou.
At this moment, Zhenwu Mountain.
It was also incredibly bustling.
Ever since Dragon Mountain Daoist emerged from seclusion and descended the mountain to settle scores, news had continuously returned, making all the Disciples incredibly joyful.
One event after another, sweeping away the previous grievances.
Dragon Mountain Daoist's domineering presence made all True Martial Sect Disciples feel honored. Even Ning Qi, who had always been calm and composed, felt a bit excited and emotional. His Master was indeed powerful; that protective instinct gave him a great sense of security.
Dragon Mountain Daoist's advancement to the Heavenly Human Realm this time made him fully understand what kind of demeanor a Heavenly Human Realm expert possessed.
This also made him even more eager to imagine what it would be like when he himself stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm one day.
At this moment.
All the True Martial Sect Disciples were waiting in the training ground.
In the distant sky.
A figure descended from the sky, slowly landing.
Ning Qi and the other True Disciples all stepped forward, their faces filled with joy:
"Welcome Master back to the mountain!"
Dragon Mountain Daoist looked at his Disciples with a smile, feeling much happier. He nodded slightly and laughed:
"Is everything well?"
Luo Wentian laughed heartily:
"Master's prestige shakes Qingzhou; how could there be any short-sighted scoundrels?"
Everyone smiled.
During this period, quite a few people had come up the mountain, but they were basically all for making connections. The scene was completely different from before; now, the True Martial Sect's gates were bustling like a marketplace, and many previously unrelated forces also wanted to curry favor.
"That's good."
Dragon Mountain Daoist's eyes held a smile. The prosperity of the True Martial Sect was his greatest wish.
Now that he had entered the Heavenly Human Realm, he had finally brought the True Martial Sect to a new height. However, what worried him now was that the cultivation of his several Disciples was somewhat insufficient to support the Sect's standing.
As of now, there was only Jiang Baishan, a Gang Yuan Realm expert.
It wasn't that these Disciples were incapable, but rather that they were simply too young. If they were given another ten years, there could be several more Gang Yuan Realm experts among his Disciples.
Thinking this.
Dragon Mountain Daoist slowly said:
"This time, when I went down the mountain, I obtained a few good treasures."
Everyone's spirits lifted.
