Divine War Pill Emperor

After the family meeting, Jiang Han returned to his courtyard.

In his hand, he held an invitation from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

He was still buzzing with excitement. After all, a Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill was among the treasures to be auctioned. ’If only I could obtain that Foundation Strengthening Pill...’

After consuming it, his Cultivation would likely soar to an unbelievable level.

It might even be possible to break through to the Martial King Realm.

A Martial King Cultivation was unheard of in all of Hanwu City.

”Xiaoyun, I’m back.”

The moment he returned, Jiang Han excitedly called out to his wife, Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun emerged from her room and asked, puzzled, ”What happened? Why was there an emergency family meeting?”

”Did something major happen?”

Xiao Yun hadn’t been to the main family hall, so she was still in the dark about what had transpired.

”Dad, you’re back.”

Jiang Chen came out of the kitchen carrying a large bowl piled high with fragrant, stewed meat-on-the-bone.

It was his mother, Xiao Yun’s, masterpiece.

Jiang Chen, in a rare moment of foodie indulgence, wasn’t about to miss out on a good meal. He held the heaping bowl like a man starved.

Seeing his father return, he broke into a wide grin.

Jiang Han didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the sight of his son.

But he didn’t say anything more about it.

He simply said, ”Good, Chen’er is here too.”

”I’ll tell you both what happened.”

”Over the past two days, some explosive news has sent shockwaves through all of Hanwu City.”

Xiao Yun was startled.

Rumors had been swirling through Hanwu City for some time now.

She asked in surprise, ”What news could shake the entire city?”

Jiang Chen, gnawing on a bone, also gave his father a surprised and questioning look.

Jiang Han’s excitement was palpable.

He clenched his fists and said, ”At the Treasure Elephant Pavilion auction the day after tomorrow, a truly mind-blowing treasure will be sold.”

”A Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill.”

His eyes burned with fervor as he spoke.

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment. But after the initial shock, her reaction was visceral.

Her mouth hung open in shock.

”A Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill?”

”Are you serious?”

She too was floored by the news. A Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill was the stuff of legends.

Even though it was only a Second-Grade Elixir, once it reached Purple Gold Quality, it was in a completely different league.

As a Martial Cultivator with a Cultivation at the Martial Master Second Realm, Xiao Yun naturally understood the immense significance of a Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill.

”Of course it’s real.”

Jiang Han stated with certainty, ”The news came from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion itself. I hear it’s the main event of the auction the day after tomorrow.”

Xiao Yun was utterly speechless, her jaw on the floor.

It took her a long moment to process the news.

”If the Treasure Elephant Pavilion is the one announcing it, then it must be true.”

”But what did the family decide? We have to win a Foundation Strengthening Pill of this Level at the auction, no matter the cost, right?”

As his parents grew more and more excited over the Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill, Jiang Chen found the situation rather ironic.

’And here I was, thinking it was some earth-shattering news. It’s just my Foundation Strengthening Pill.’

Only Jiang Chen knew the truth: it was his elixir they were talking about.

’I didn’t expect it to cause such a stir, though.’

’I knew auctioning the Foundation Strengthening Pill at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion was the right choice.’

’The Treasure Elephant Pavilion is pretty efficient.’

Jiang Chen was very satisfied with that.

’Building up hype before auctioning off a major treasure is a smart move.’

Not only would the Treasure Elephant Pavilion’s reputation soar, but Jiang Chen was also confident that he would make a hefty profit.

He sat to the side, bowl in hand, and went back to gnawing on his bones.

His mother’s cooking was exceptional. The bones were so delicious that Jiang Chen felt he could never get enough.

Soon, his parents finished their discussion.

”Given the current situation, even if the Jiang Family puts forth all our resources, I think winning the Foundation Strengthening Pill will be extremely difficult.”

”After all, every major power in Hanwu City will be vying for it. We don’t have the advantage when it comes to financial strength.”

Xiao Yun analyzed the reality of the coming auction for her husband, Jiang Han.

It was true. Any high-quality treasure would inevitably trigger a bidding war among the major powers.

And this time, it was a Purple Gold Quality Foundation Strengthening Pill. The great powers would be tripping over themselves to get it.

But Jiang Han’s eyes were resolute. He said, ”Even if it means a bloody fight, the Jiang Family must contend for it this time.”

He understood that if he obtained the Foundation Strengthening Pill and his Cultivation broke through to the Martial King Realm, the Jiang Family’s status in Hanwu City would be unparalleled.

Not even the City Lord’s Mansion would dare to make a move against them.

The deterrent power of a Martial King was undeniable.

The couple discussed it further, their attitudes firm. It seemed they were both determined to acquire the Foundation Strengthening Pill.

Finally, Jiang Han took out the invitation from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

”This is the invitation from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion. The only problem is, it only admits two people.”

”I was thinking of taking our Chen’er to experience it.”

In truth, Xiao Yun also wanted to go to the auction house to see the Foundation Strengthening Pill for herself.

With only one invitation, he was in a bind. His wife, Xiao Yun, wanted to go, but he also wanted his son, Jiang Chen, to experience such a grand event.

One invitation was clearly not enough.

He was in an awkward position. The implication was that his wife would have to give up her spot so he could take their son.

Xiao Yun’s expression fell.

She knew she had to give the spot to her son, Jiang Chen.

”Alright, I won’t go. You take our son.”

Jiang Chen, who had been focused on his bones, suddenly looked up.

”Mom, don’t say that. The whole family can go.”

”Look at this.”

As he spoke, he flicked his wrist, and an invitation materialized in his hand out of thin air.

At that moment, both Jiang Han and his wife Xiao Yun were stunned.

They stared dumbly, unable to believe that Jiang Chen had just produced an invitation to the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

Jiang Han lost his composure and pressed him, ”Chen’er, how do you have an invitation?”

After all, the Treasure Elephant Pavilion didn’t hand out invitations to just anyone.

You had to have a certain status, or at the very least, significant financial backing.

As one of the three great families of Hanwu City, the Jiang Family naturally received a complimentary invitation.

But for Jiang Chen to have one of his own was baffling.

”Dad, relax. Someone from the Treasure Elephant Pavilion gave it to me.”

He grinned but offered no further explanation.

But Jiang Han and Xiao Yun remained completely baffled.

Still, Xiao Yun brightened up.

”Well, that’s wonderful. Now our whole family can go to the auction together.”

After finishing off the last of the bones, Jiang Chen put down his bowl, washed his hands, and then turned to his parents with a suddenly serious expression. ”Dad, Mom, there’s something else I need to say.”

Jiang Han and Xiao Yun both looked at their son.

Their son was becoming more and more of an enigma, impossible to read.

”What is it? Go on.”

They both waited for him to speak.

Jiang Chen said, ”Dad, Mom, what I want to say is... that Foundation Strengthening Pill is impressive, but this time, the Jiang Family should not participate in the bidding.”
