# Chapter 1104: Crimson Immortal Elixir
"What!?"
Since he was called "Blackheart Poison Saint," he was undoubtedly a black-hearted character. So Lei Qianfeng had taken the price he charged for saving the three from the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce and actively increased it fivefold.
He never expected this Blackheart Poison Saint to open his mouth and demand one hundred million!!
One hundred million! That was a full hundred times what he charged the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce for three people!!
This wasn't just black-hearted—this was butchering a pig!
Although Lei Qianfeng was the Great Realm King of Heiya Realm and commanded a massive Soul Sect, one hundred million Mysterious Stones was no small amount for him, let alone the fact that he had six sons, totaling six hundred million Mysterious Stones!
From the corners of his mouth to the back of his neck, Lei Qianfeng's entire body spasmed. But the ferocity of this "Blackheart Poison Saint" naturally prevented him from losing his temper. With a bitter face, he said, "Senior Poison Saint, my sons' lives are naturally priceless, and I am by no means a stingy person. But this antidote pill at one hundred million Mysterious Stones each is truly a bit... Could Senior perhaps show some leniency?"
"Leniency? Heh..." The black-robed elder let out a cold laugh. "Realm King Heiya, whether you can come up with six hundred million Mysterious Stones is something this old man knows quite well. To dare haggle with me... hehehehe, I'm afraid you haven't heard enough of my 'black-hearted' reputation."
The black-robed elder's tone made Lei Qianfeng's entire body uncomfortable, and a nameless unease rose in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, Lei Tiangang's voice suddenly came from behind: "Sect Master, we're still short one!"
Lei Qianfeng spun around sharply: "What do you mean still short one..."
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he suddenly realized... The antidote pills the "Blackheart Poison Saint" had tossed them earlier should have been exactly six. But in his caution, he had fed the first one to a Soul Sect disciple afflicted with the Thousand Soul Poison. And the ones he had hastily tossed to Lei Tiangang and Lei Qiandu were only five in total.
In his earlier excitement and anxiety, he had actually overlooked this point.
The five who had been fed the antidote pills had all shed their poisonous aura. Their faces were ruddy, with no trace of suffering. Only one remained, watching helplessly as his five brothers were all freed from the deadly poison. In his anxiety, his struggles grew even more violent, and Lei Tiangang's shout only made him thrash harder: "Father... Mother... save me quickly..."
And this one son who had not been given the antidote... was none other than Lei Guangqian! The only remaining son of Lei Qianfeng and Xiao Qingtong.
"Qian'er!" Xiao Qingtong cried out in pain, then shouted in fury: "Why didn't you two feed the antidote to Qian'er first!?"
"Th-this..." Lei Tiangang said fearfully, "Madam, calm your anger. I thought Grand Elder also had three pills, but who knew..."
Xiao Qingtong was about to rush over, but then she suddenly realized something and turned to the "Blackheart Poison Saint," saying anxiously: "Senior Poison Saint, my husband is naturally suspicious by nature and wasted one spirit pill. I beg Senior to grant one more."
"Hmph!" A low, cold snort chilled everyone's hearts and souls: "There are plenty who doubt this old man's methods, but I wouldn't bother with them. However... I gave my medicine, your sons lived, and then you turn around and haggle with me. Since your sons' lives are so cheap, it wouldn't hurt for one or two to die!"
The black-robed elder's voice was several times colder than before, clearly genuinely angered... Lei Qianfeng's haggling had apparently touched some taboo of his!
Lei Qianfeng's face changed again, while Xiao Qingtong's pleading voice was almost choked with tears: "Senior Poison Saint, my husband doesn't know his place and has offended Senior, but this was by no means this concubine's intention. I said earlier that as long as my sons' lives could be saved, I would not hesitate at any price."
Lei Qianfeng moved his lips, his face full of embarrassment: "Senior..."
"You shut up!" As soon as Lei Qianfeng opened his mouth, he was silenced by Xiao Qingtong's furious rebuke. She quickly took out a purple crystal space ring and said: "Senior Poison Saint, seven spirit pills, seven hundred million Mysterious Stones. This concubine is willing to pay Senior right now."
The black-robed elder's gaze swept over, but the coldness in it subsided a little: "Hehehe, then no need for that. This old man is never afraid of being owed debts, because those who dare to owe debts all die."
Xiao Qingtong's face lit up with joy: "Then Senior Poison Saint agrees to grant one more? This concubine thanks Senior Poison Saint."
The black-robed elder slowly pulled out a dirty black wooden box from somewhere and placed it on the stone table beside him. He opened the box, revealing it full of pills of various colors and sizes. Nearly half of them were the antidote pills he had tossed out earlier. At a glance, there were at least fifty.
And the moment the box opened, everyone's gazes, as if drawn by an irresistible force, locked firmly onto the pill at the center of the wooden box. It was the largest pill in the entire box, the size of a dragon's eye. The other pills were all dark in color, but this one was a bright crimson red.
And naturally, it wasn't its appearance that drew everyone's attention, but an incredibly mysterious, miraculous, unique spiritual aura. Just by laying eyes on it, they clearly felt a refreshing sensation that pierced straight to the heart and soul, instantly clearing their minds, and even their gazes seemed to become much clearer.
This kind of aura was unheard of, and this feeling was indescribable, never experienced before.
The wooden box contained many pills, but the spiritual aura of this crimson pill overpowered all the others. And the seemingly most ordinary antidote pills had already demonstrated their powerful effects to them. So this crimson pill... was undoubtedly of an extremely high level, a treasure worthy of being called a rare artifact.
Under their unusual gazes, the black-robed elder slowly picked up one antidote pill and said leisurely: "As long as the price is right, there's naturally no reason not to do business. But this one... the price is different from the previous six."
He extended his withered hand forward, but didn't close the open black wooden box, allowing the unique spiritual aura to dissipate: "This one costs three hundred million Mysterious Stones."
"What!? Three... three hundred million?" Lei Qianfeng cried out in shock, his eyes nearly bulging out.
"Oh?" The black-robed elder narrowed his eyes: "It seems that Realm King Heiya is still not satisfied with this old man's price. Then... how about five hundred million Mysterious Stones?"
"..." Lei Qianfeng's legs went weak, and he hurriedly said: "No, no, no... three hundred million, just three hundred million!"
"Don't listen to him!" Xiao Qingtong shot Lei Qianfeng a fierce glare, but said decisively: "Since Senior Poison Saint said five hundred million Mysterious Stones, then five hundred million it is! For my son's life, Senior could ask for five hundred million Mysterious Stones, or even a billion, and it would be a gift!"
As her voice fell, her delicate hand turned, and the purple crystal ring in her hand flashed with light. Then she neatly pushed it toward the black-robed elder: "Inside here are a total of one billion one hundred million Mysterious Stones. Please check them, Senior Poison Saint."
Lei Qianfeng opened his mouth but made no sound.
Behind him, from Lei Qiandu and Lei Tiangang down to the ordinary Soul Sect disciples, all were dumbfounded. Lei Qiandu and Lei Tiangang both sighed inwardly. The Sect Master had been used to having the final say in Heiya Realm for too long, always domineering and arrogant, especially in recent years, growing increasingly irritable and angry with each passing year. When it came to magnanimity and how to deal with different people, especially "eccentric experts," the Sect Master's wife was far superior to the Sect Master.
No wonder people in Shenwu Realm clearly preferred Xiao Qingtong... especially the mother and son, Lei Qianyu and Wu Guike.
"Xixixi..." The black-robed elder's laughter became noticeably more cheerful. He didn't bother to check the number of Mysterious Stones in the purple crystal ring, leisurely put it away, then lightly flicked the antidote pill in his hand and said with considerable approval: "Realm King Heiya, you may not amount to much, but you've married a good wife. A pity, a pity."
Lei Qianfeng didn't know what to say, so he could only force a dry laugh.
Xiao Qingtong took the antidote pill, quickly came to Lei Guangqian's side, and personally fed it to him.
The antidote pill contained the purifying power of the Heavenly Poison Pearl, so it naturally took effect quickly. Like the previous five, before ten breaths had passed, Lei Guangqian's poisonous aura had completely dissipated, and there were no more pained moans from his mouth.
After her joy, Xiao Qingtong quickly pulled the still-weak Lei Guangqian before the black-robed elder: "Qian'er, Senior Poison Saint is your lifesaver. He has given you a new lease on life. Hurry and kowtow to thank him!"
Lei Guangqian was very obedient to Xiao Qingtong. He immediately knelt down and banged his head three times: "Senior Lei Guangqian thanks Senior Poison Saint for the great kindness of saving my life."
This woman... was no simple character.
The black-robed elder thought to himself, saying in a sinister voice: "No need for these useless formalities with me. You got your lives, I got my Mysterious Stones. Since the business is done, you should leave quickly!"
Xiao Qingtong helped Lei Guangqian up, bowed slightly, and said: "Yes, we won't disturb Senior Poison Saint any longer. If Senior has free time during your stay in Heiya Realm, please do visit the Soul Sect as our guest. The Soul Sect will treat you with the highest courtesy."
With that, she glanced at Lei Qianfeng: "Let's go."
But Lei Qianfeng didn't immediately move. His gaze repeatedly swept over the crimson pill. After several hesitations, he finally turned around, ready to leave.
"..." Watching Lei Qianfeng prepare to leave, the black-robed elder frowned, a deep disappointment flashing in his dark eyes.
But Lei Qianfeng's expression was fully observed by Xiao Qingtong. She suddenly turned back to the black-robed elder and said: "Senior Poison Saint, this concubine has one more matter."
Without waiting for the black-robed elder to respond, Xiao Qingtong's gaze fell on the crimson pill: "This concubine was already inwardly amazed earlier. The spiritual aura of this pill is unlike anything I've seen in my life. And since it comes from Senior Poison Saint's hands, it must surely be no ordinary object. I wonder if Senior would be willing to enlighten me a little, so that this concubine might broaden her horizons."
"..." The black-robed elder glanced sideways: "This pill is called the Crimson Immortal Elixir. It is refined from thousands of different poisonous insects and spiritual herbs. It can purify all things in the world and neutralize all poisons under heaven."
As he spoke, the black-robed elder directly picked up the crimson pill. Just that simple action intensified the dissipating spiritual aura several times over, causing Lei Qianfeng and the others to jolt in spirit, their astonishment beyond words.
The black-robed elder continued: "Once this pill is taken, it can wash the marrow and purify the body, clearing all profound barriers. After complete refinement, below the Divine Sovereign realm, there will hardly be any bottlenecks, and for three thousand years, one will be immune to all poisons!"
The black-robed elder's words left everyone stunned. Lei Qianfeng's eyes went rigid, and his throat convulsed several times. Xiao Qingtong glanced at Lei Qianfeng and directly said: "Such a miraculous pill... I wonder if Senior would be willing to part with it for a price?"
"Hehehe..." The black-robed elder laughed sinisterly: "Since I've laid out the goods, of course they're for sale. But this Crimson Immortal Elixir—this old man has lived for thousands of years and has only refined three of them. A small, low-ranking sect like yours probably can't afford it."
Hearing this, Xiao Qingtong immediately said: "The Soul Sect may be small, but our family wealth is still considerable. Senior, please name your price. To encounter Senior and such a miraculous pill is a gift of fate. How could this concubine bear to miss such an opportunity?"
"Excellent!" Holding the "Crimson Immortal Elixir," the black-robed elder turned around: "You, little girl, have a truly excellent temperament. You've quite pleased this old man. I was originally planning to sell it to those old monsters from middle-ranked star realms. But since you, little girl, have asked, I'll give you a chance... Heh, whether fate truly smiles on you will depend on how deep your pockets are."
The black-robed elder extended his other hand, slowly spreading five fingers: "Five billion Mysterious Stones."
This astronomical figure made the eyes of the Soul Sect disciples behind him nearly pop out of their sockets.
Lei Qianfeng's body swayed visibly, but Xiao Qingtong's reaction was far calmer than his. Almost without hesitation, she said: "Five billion Mysterious Stones is indeed a sky-high price. But for such a miraculous pill, even if it means losing the entire family fortune, it would be absolutely worth it. Very well... Senior Poison Saint, this concubine will buy this pill."
Lei Qianfeng snapped his head toward her, but didn't try to stop her. Instead, his expression was rather excited.
"..." The black-robed elder's eyes narrowed slightly, but inwardly he was roaring: Damn! Five billion... five billion Mysterious Stones! And she bought it without even a frown? Just how much family wealth has the Soul Sect plundered over the years!?
Did I undercharge!?
And here I was hesitating whether I was being too ruthless!
Not only did Xiao Qingtong decide to buy it on the spot, but she also seemed afraid the "Blackheart Poison Saint" might change his mind. She quickly took out another purple crystal ring. After a flash of light, she pushed it toward the "Blackheart Poison Saint": "Senior Poison Saint, inside here are five billion Mysterious Stones. Please count them."
"Hehehe..." The black-robed elder laughed dryly: "It seems this old man underestimated you. Heh, since the words are already spoken, I'll hand it over to you!"
He flicked his wrist, and the "Crimson Immortal Elixir" traced a crimson arc through the air, landing lightly in Xiao Qingtong's hand.
"However, there has always been one rule regarding the pills I sell." The black-robed elder suddenly spoke.
Xiao Qingtong held the "Crimson Immortal Elixir" with both hands and said: "This concubine has heard that the spirit pills Senior bestows must be taken on the spot. Might I ask if this is the rule Senior refers to?"
Damn, this woman... didn't even need me to say it myself!
The black-robed elder said: "Since you know, then so be it. So, are you planning to use it yourself, or..." He glanced sideways at Lei Qianfeng beside her: "Give it to this brat?"
Xiao Qingtong bowed slightly: "This concubine is but a woman, and must ultimately honor her husband as her lord. So..."
"This Crimson Immortal Elixir is already yours. Even if you throw it away, it has nothing to do with me." The black-robed elder interrupted her, fixing his gaze on Lei Qianfeng: "Giving it to this brat isn't bad either. This brat has cultivated thunder-type profound arts for several thousand years, ultimately damaging himself. He's probably been sustaining himself with various spirit medicines and spirit stones for many years, but in the end... hehehehe, he's probably been completely incapable of a man's duty for decades now."
These words startled both Lei Qianfeng and Xiao Qingtong.
"And if he completely refines this Crimson Immortal Elixir, within three months, he will be restored to full manhood, saving you, little girl, the suffering of living as a widow."
Lei Qianfeng's eyes gradually widened, and he asked with immense excitement: "Senior... are these words... true!?"
"Hmph!" The black-robed elder said coldly: "Would this old man spout nonsense like you useless brats!"
As the Great Realm King of Heiya Realm, being called "brat" repeatedly by this "Blackheart Poison Saint" would normally infuriate him. But at this moment, he felt not a trace of resentment or displeasure—only uncontrollable excitement.
Thunder-type profound arts were immensely powerful, but they also easily backlashed and harmed the cultivator. After he fathered his youngest son, Lei Guangqian, his latent injuries became impossible to suppress and erupted completely, leaving him utterly incapable as a man. For a man, this was undoubtedly a matter of complete loss of dignity, especially for someone like him—an honored Realm King and Soul Sect Master.
Without question, after that, he could never hold his head up in front of Xiao Qingtong. Even when she scolded him repeatedly, he almost never talked back. But outside, his temperament became increasingly irritable and prone to anger.
Especially after Lei Guangqian, he had no more children and never took another concubine. Occasionally, rumors and gossip would spread in Heiya Realm, only adding to his rage and humiliation.
And now, after the "Blackheart Poison Saint" had publicly exposed his most shameful wound, the words he spoke were like celestial music to Lei Qianfeng's ears.
"No, no," Lei Qianfeng quickly said: "I would never dare doubt Senior. Your poison arts are unparalleled and your eyes are like torches. I was blind before and failed to recognize a true master. Now I have nothing but boundless admiration. If everything is as Senior says, then you will be Lei Qianfeng's greatest benefactor."
"Hmph! Enough nonsense. Eat it immediately." The "Blackheart Poison Saint" said impatiently.
Lei Qianfeng quickly took the "Crimson Immortal Elixir" from Xiao Qingtong's hand, took a deep breath, and swallowed it in one gulp.
Instantly, a pure, inconceivable spiritual energy spread through his entire body. It was as if countless breezes from an ancient forest were caressing every corner of his being. His spiritual sense, vision, smell, and hearing all awakened, and his entire person felt as if reborn.
A look of intoxication appeared on Lei Qianfeng's face, and he couldn't help saying: "Truly a miraculous pill."
"Whether it's a miraculous pill, you'll know once you've fully refined it." Watching Lei Qianfeng swallow the "Crimson Immortal Elixir," a dark, strange light flickered in the black-robed elder's eyes.
From Lei Qianfeng's expression, it was clear that the "Crimson Immortal Elixir" had extraordinary effects... and this was just after swallowing, before any refinement. Xiao Qingtong quickly bowed again: "Senior's grace in giving us a new lease on life, my husband and I will never forget as long as we live."
"Hmph, it's just business. So much hypocritical formality." The black-robed elder turned his back: "The business is done. Now go back where you came from. Don't say this old man didn't warn you—there are colorless, odorless, formless poisons everywhere here. If you don't leave soon and the poison enters your bodies, you might not be able to leave even if you want to."
The Soul Sect disciples were all startled. They quickly held their breath and secretly gathered profound energy to protect themselves. Xiao Qingtong said: "In that case, we won't disturb Senior's peace any longer. We'll leave now. Senior can rest assured that we will not breathe a single word about your affairs in Heiya Realm."
"Heh, and what if you do? It would just bring a few more poisonous insects looking for death." The black-robed elder sneered contemptuously. Every word sent chills down their spines, and they unconsciously quickened their steps as they left.
The Soul Sect people departed quickly. Unlike the lifeless atmosphere when they arrived, they left in a state of elation, the gloom brought by Ling Yun completely swept away. They were practically grateful beyond measure to the "Blackheart Poison Saint" who had "fleeced" them of over six billion Mysterious Stones, as if they had encountered a heaven-sent blessing.
After confirming they were far away, the black-robed elder took a deep breath. His profound energy exploded, and the black-green cloak and disguise items shattered all over the ground, revealing his true form... It was none other than Yun Che!
His expression was extremely pale, and his back was completely soaked with cold sweat.
The pressure of facing Lei Qianfeng and his wife, along with the Soul Sect's chief hall master and grand elder—these top-tier figures—every single moment had been a burden too immense for ordinary people to imagine.
And the slightest mistake would have meant certain death.
He heavily sat down on the ground, panting heavily. After more than ten breaths, he waved his arms, and the black aura that had been floating on his body and throughout the stone chamber instantly dissipated.
This black aura was the dark profound energy he had released from the Demon Source Pearl within his body. The cold, eerie, and oppressive feeling in the stone chamber came from the combination of this dark profound energy and ice profound energy. He didn't dare linger any longer. He grabbed a random set of clothes, changed into them, and quickly fled in the opposite direction from where Lei Qianfeng and his group had departed.
With his profound strength, killing Lei Qianfeng was absolutely impossible.
However, he possessed something that could kill Lei Qianfeng.
The Chi Dragon Poison!
The pill he had called the "Crimson Immortal Elixir" was the key to his entire scheme. From spreading the news of the "Blackheart Poison Saint," to poisoning Lei Guangqian, to poisoning his other six sons and forcing him to seek out the "Blackheart Poison Saint"—the entire purpose was to feed this "Crimson Immortal Elixir" to him!
And to fleece him of a fortune in the process!
Because its outer layer was the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Poison Pearl, while the inner layer... was the Chi Dragon Poison!
But this most critical step had nearly failed. Although Lei Qianfeng was clearly attracted to it and his heart was deeply moved, he didn't ask about it. Fortunately, Xiao Qingtong provided a perfect assist... And whether it was the "antidote pills" or the "Crimson Immortal Elixir," the massive amounts of Mysterious Stones paid were all taken out by Xiao Qingtong, not Lei Qianfeng.
This made Yun Che realize one thing: This Xiao Qingtong seemed to hold even higher status than Lei Qianfeng. At the very least, she controlled the Soul Sect's financial power?
Lei Qianfeng was, after all, a Divine King. And the "Crimson Immortal Elixir" couldn't contain too much Chi Dragon Poison, or it would easily expose the poison's aura. So after being poisoned, if Lei Qianfeng exerted all his strength to neutralize it, there was a good chance he wouldn't die from the poison.
But Yun Che had gone through so much hardship to bring this plan to a fairly successful completion. How could he be content with just that?
His next step was to add insult to injury!
"Lei Qianfeng, prepare to die!"
Yun Che murmured to himself, and his figure quickly disappeared into the distant horizon.
