The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Panda Novel

Ji Qiu’s brows started to frown again as he glanced at Ji He, who was following closely after Ji Fengyan. With a silent exchange of glances, Ji Qiu’s eyes darkened and he suddenly looked up at Ji Fengyan.

“Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed?”

Ji Fengyan lifted her head to say, “Yes, indeed.”

Ji Qiu nodded slightly.

“There was the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed among the items that Linghe had sent over to me.”

“May I trouble Eldest Uncle to return it to me,” Ji Fengyan said.

Ji Qiu was not in a rush to respond and only took a glance at Ji Fengyan’s face. He calmly picked up the teacup that he had just put down and slowly sipped. Then he said, “Fengyan, did you get the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed from the Sacred Dragon Auction House?”

“Yes.” said Ji Fengyan.

Ji Qiu nodded in satisfaction. “The Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed is the sacred tree of the Demon Clan. Since the past, there were only a rare few people who have seen it with their own eyes. Even the strongest people alive in the world also could barely make it back after seeing the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed, more so it is is unlikely for someone to break a branch from it on the Demon Clan’s territory.”

Ji Qiu stopped for a moment, then continued, “it was rumored that the only person who has successfully obtained the tree branch from the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed was the Divine Swordsman who has disappeared for many years. He had charged into the territory of the Demon Clan and offended the Demon King by cutting down one of the branches from the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed. After he had brought the branch back, he completely vanished from sight and the branch of the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed had also disappeared. Now that it has unknowingly appeared at the Sacred Dragon Auction House, it was really surprising.”

Ji Fengyan looked at Ji Qiu, who was speaking with fervour and wanted to see what other nonsense he could spout.

After Ji Qiu said that, he then looked at Ji Fengyan again. As though his eyes had the ability to see through a person’s mind, he stared straight at Ji Fengyan.

“Even though it was just a branch, its value had already exceeded that of anyone’s knowledge of it. Even the royal family had to value it highly. Fengyan, you’re still young and do not know the importance of the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed. If I hand it to you, I’m afraid that you will not be mature enough and will waste the efforts of the Divine Swordsman.” Ji Qiu spoke as if he were being very noble. His deep voice almost made people believe in him.

But his words sounded like an elaborate joke to Ji Fengyan.

“It’s my first time hearing that someone could make it sound so pleasant when they are trying to seize someone else’s things.” with her arms crossed, Ji Fengyan looked at Ji Qiu leisurely.

Ji Qiu’s face changed slightly.

But Ji Qingshang started to speak, “Ji Qingshang, have you had enough! Eldest Uncle is just considering on your behalf. Do you know what this Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed is for? Even if given to you, you would only waste it. Eldest Uncle is being kind by helping you keep it, yet you are so ungrateful.”

Ji Fengyan scoffed. “I don’t need this kindness. Since I purchased this item, I can use it however I want I to. If I wished for it, I can even use it as firewood, so what? Do I still need someone else to teach me how to use it?”

“You!” Ji Qingshang stared at Ji Fengyan in disbelief. She did not expect that Ji Fengyan would actually say such frightening things!

Use the branch from the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed as firewood?!

Was she crazy?!

God knows how precious this branch was, did Ji Fengyan even know what she was saying?!

“All right, Qingshang, I will speak nicely to Fengyan,” Ji Qiu shot Ji Qingshang a glance and she immediately shut her mouth and stepped back to one corner.
