Chapter 84

"If that's the case, I'll just hand over the Life Returning Pill. Won't that solve the problem?"

Gu Chen replied with a smile.

He had his own reasons for doing so. His instincts told him that the black cauldron must have an extraordinary origin.

However, even the Zheng siblings did not know the exact use of the cauldron. This made the item in his hand useless. It was tasteless, but a pity to throw it away.

If he handed over an identical cauldron to the Celestial Court, it would be fine if the cauldron did not have much value. However, if it did, the examiner would definitely have to explain.

That way, he would be able to understand the secret of the cauldron and solve the mystery.

"That's true. Go ahead and give it a try. If the cauldron really works, we can keep the Life Returning Pill for ourselves. "

Xu Huahua thought that Gu Chen was reluctant to hand over the Mystic Low Grade Pill to the Celestial Court, so she did not think much of it.

Moments later, the two returned to Luotou City.

There were a few dozen participants, but only one had returned. It was a middle-aged man. Half of his body was covered in blood, and he seemed to be heavily injured. He was currently meditating to heal himself.

When Gu Chen and Xu Huahua returned, he raised his head and saw that the two were unharmed. He could not help but be surprised.

The Celestial Court's Gold-ranked Assassin was still sitting in the same spot, like an old monk in meditation. The two's return did not attract his attention.

The sunset glow covered the horizon, and the sun was about to set.

"Looks like most of the participants died in the auction. Maybe we won't even get the five spots today."

Xu Huahua sat on the roof, swinging his legs as he clicked his tongue.

"I don't know about the others, but that Thousand Jue Granny will definitely come back."

Gu Chen said solemnly.

As soon as he finished speaking, two rainbows pierced through the sky and arrived.

To be honest, I really don't want to join the Heavenly Court with that old woman, "Ye Zichen said.

Xu Huahua's face was bitter. The old woman's ferocity had obviously left a shadow in her heart.

The two rainbows landed on the street. One of them was the Thousand Jue Granny, but the other one surprised Gu Chen and Xu Huahua.

"Shi actually came back alive?"

Xu Huahua's eyes widened as he stared at the disheveled young man who had somehow lost his coat and was barefooted.

At this moment, Shi Cong's face was full of exhaustion and anxiety. There were bruises on her face as she looked around. As soon as she saw Gu Chen, her eyes almost spat fire.

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes and glanced at Qian Jue Granny who was standing beside Shi Cong.

Although he didn't manage to kill him in time, it was unlikely for him to survive the chaotic scene.

Unless someone saved him.

"That old woman actually saved the man with the surname Shi. Could it be that they know each other?"

The quick-witted Xu Huahua immediately understood, and his face was full of fear.

If the two of them really knew each other, it would be a little bad. They had already offended Shi Cong.

"That's not possible. If that's the case, Granny Qian Jue would have saved him at the auction house. They must have come to some sort of agreement after we escaped."

"Look at that guy, all his valuable clothes and shoes are gone."

Gu Chen said.

"Could it be …"

Xu Huahua's eyes widened. "Damn, that guy with the surname Shi sure has a strong taste. He would do anything just to survive!"

"What are you thinking …" Gu Chen's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"Isn't that right? Although that guy has treasures on him, Granny Qian Jue could have gotten them if she killed him. If it wasn't for some unspeakable deal, why would she let him go? "

Xu Huahua raised her little head and vowed solemnly.

Gu Chen was speechless. 'This loli is so young, how can she be so dirty …'

As the two of them arrived, the Golden Assassin of the Celestial Court finally opened his eyes. He looked at the darkened sky and stood up.

"It seems like only five of you made it back alive. Now, hand over all the items that you have."

He said calmly.

"There are only five of us left. No matter what item we get, we can join the Celestial Court, right?"

The middle-aged man said expectantly.

"No."

The Golden Assassin shook his head. "If the item you brought is too low in my eyes, you still can't pass. Also, according to the rules, I will kill those who are eliminated. "

His words made everyone's heart skip a beat.

"How can this be? The rule was that the five people with the highest value would be selected. Now that there are five of us, all of us should pass. "

The middle-aged cultivator could not help but say.

"Rules? Rules are made by people. I am in charge of this test. Whatever I say goes. If you're not satisfied, you can give up. "

The Golden Assassin said stubbornly.

Give up?

He was afraid that giving up would mean death!

The middle-aged cultivator did not dare to have any more objections.

"Don't be dissatisfied. Have some confidence in the items you brought back. I'm not an unreasonable person. I'll give you a small reward. The person who brought back the highest value will get a mysterious reward. "

He chuckled. His expression could not be seen behind the mask, but his tone sounded like he was joking.

"May I know what the reward is?"

Everyone's eyes lit up. Qian Jue Granny asked in a hoarse voice that sounded a little creepy.

"I already said it's a mysterious reward. Of course, I can't tell you directly."

The Golden Assassin shook his head. "But I can give you a hint. The reward varies from person to person."

"For example, you're only one step away from entering the Nirvana realm. If you come in first, I can consider giving you a Nirvana Pill."

He looked at Granny Qian Jue and said. Granny Qian Jue was pleasantly surprised.

"Great! That's great! I won't let you down! "

She flipped her hand and eagerly took out the glass bottle that was soaked in the Poison Finger.

Extreme Daoist Organ!

Such an item was widely recognized as the most valuable treasure. Granny Qian Jue would undoubtedly come in first.

To her, the Golden Assassin's reward was a windfall. It was a pleasant surprise.

"Hmm, not bad. What about the others? Take out your items too. "

He nodded his head slightly and gestured.

"I have the fossil tooth of an ancient beast, the White Whale."

With a thought from Xu Huahua, a huge glowing tooth appeared in front of everyone.

The tooth was bigger than a water tank. It was triangular in shape and looked like amber.

The White Whale was said to be a ferocious beast that was tens of thousands of feet long and had a powerful bloodline.

It was said that in ancient times, the White Whale appeared in the White Whale Mansion. The reason why the Middle Earth Empire, East Barren, and South Mountains didn't care about this place was because it was the nest of the White Whale.

No one knew if the legend was true or not. The White Whale had disappeared from the Kunlun Continent for a long time. However, its fossils still had many magical uses and were worth cities.
