I picked up the scattered attributes

But now, as an observer...

Of course, he tried his best to exaggerate and make grand claims, putting in as much effort as possible to deceive people.

Go ahead and let your imagination run wild; I'll admit defeat if you can fill in all my wildest ideas.

—And the outcome was exactly as Feng Xia had expected.

Yao Wenhua's expression changed, clearly indicating that he had realized something: Guanglingxuan possessed something that had aroused the covetousness of the experts from the Hundred Sects!

"Could it be... that they've got their eyes on that thing?" Yao Wenhua's face turned extremely grim.

That treasure was acquired by Guanglingxuan through various channels at great cost.

No matter how well Guanglingxuan kept it a secret, nothing stays hidden forever, and news about that treasure still leaked out, both openly and secretly.

Some time ago, more than one faction contacted Guanglingxuan, saying they wanted to acquire that treasure.

Guanglingxuan refused them all.

That treasure was of utmost importance to Guangling Pavilion and could not be lost.

"What is it?"

Faced with this situation, Feng Xia became somewhat curious.

Logically speaking, although Guanglingxuan is not among the top 100 sects, its own strength is not weak. Otherwise, how could it protect such a huge industry?

Furthermore, the long-standing cooperative relationship, while not rock-solid, is certainly quite solid.

As a result, he was willing to turn against Guanglingxuan just because of a mere treasure.

“Wealth can move people’s hearts. If it weren’t for an incredibly amazing treasure, I doubt they would have actually made a move,” Feng Xia said meaningfully. “A single treasure that would make sects in the alliance risk turning against each other, and that would make Guangling Pavilion risk breaking the law, just to keep it in their hands?”

The higher-ups at Guanglingxuan surely understand the reasons behind this.

But they still did it!

"Regarding the origin of that item," Yao Wenhua hesitated for a moment, then finally gave a wry smile, "Please forgive my rudeness, but I cannot tell you at the moment."

Feng Xia immediately said "Oh": "It's okay, it's fine if you don't want to say, I was just asking casually."

Yao Wenhua: "..."

He waited a moment and found that the mysterious young man was calmly sipping his tea, leisurely, relaxed and content, seemingly not caring at all about the treasure!

This left Yao Wenhua, who was already prepared to negotiate, feeling frustrated, as if he had punched cotton.

what's next?

What happened to the subsequent bargaining phase?!

And didn't you just say you wanted to discuss cooperation with Guanglingxuan? How come you didn't say a word in the end?

The VIP room remained completely silent throughout.

The silence did not reassure Yao Wenhua; on the contrary, it made him even more uneasy.

Where did the maid Qiaoman go, and what is she plotting at this time?

"Sir, we've already reached such a critical juncture, please stop playing games with me."

After much deliberation and gritting his teeth, the head steward finally made his decision and revealed a little more information: "I apologize that I still cannot tell you the origin and true form of the treasure. However, I can privately reveal some information about its effects to you. Please be sure not to leak it out!"

Without realizing it, he started to address Feng Xia differently.

Feng Xia nodded: "Oh."

Yao Wenhua narrowly avoided throwing the teacup in his hand.

I've been so serious about this, and all you say is "oh"? Can't you be a little more serious?

It was at this moment that Feng Xia seemed to finally realize something, and belatedly slapped his face: "Fellow Daoist, please speak."

That's a little more like it...

With a helpless sigh, Yao Wenhua instinctively looked around, then flicked his sleeve and said, word by word, "That is a treasure that can allow a demigod to break free from their shackles and instantly achieve the True God Realm!"

Outside the Xuan Yuan World, those who reach the Divine Bridge Realm in cultivation can be called demigods.

The Divine Bridge Realm is for demigods, and the True One Realm is for true gods.

After saying this in a simple sentence, Yao Wenhua held his breath and stared at Feng Xia without moving.

But the blue-clad youth's eyebrows, eyelids, and cheek muscles were no longer motionless as before; they finally began to react.

There are indeed some treasures that claim to be able to bring about the attainment of true godhood, but many of them only have some effect.

The specific effects will vary from person to person.

But if it claims to instantly break through shackles and allow demigods to become true gods...

That would mean something completely different!

Even with Feng Xia's mysterious aura, one would be deeply moved upon hearing of such a treasure!

Then, Yao Wenhua heard Feng Xia utter a single word:

"Oh."

"???"

……

Chapter 0800

At this moment, Yao Wenhua was truly driven to madness.

As the head steward of Guanglingxuan, he had seen all sorts of guests.

Some were warm and sincere, while others were sinister and cold.

Since there are easy-going guests, there will naturally also be difficult "iron lumps" that cause people a lot of headaches.

But now——

"This thing isn't just a lump of iron; it's clearly a divine gold nugget, a mother gold nugget!"

Faced with Feng Xia's continued lack of response, Yao Wenhua experienced a rare headache.

A treasure that can instantly transform a demigod into a god—not only would the demigods of the world go crazy for it, but even the most powerful sects would want to possess it.

If there was no true god originally, a true god can be created instantly.

What one already possesses can be further enhanced to strengthen top-tier power.

In addition, achieving the Divine Realm is a transformation in life form. Not only will one's strength improve significantly, but one's lifespan will also increase more than tenfold!

A demigod in the Divine Bridge Realm typically has a lifespan of only two to three thousand years, depending on their cultivation method and physique.

For some martial arts techniques that cause significant harm, or for those who suffered hidden injuries in their early years that left hidden dangers, it is not impossible for them to have such techniques even if they have only been practicing for less than a thousand years.

In comparison, the lifespan of a true god is often at least 20,000 years!

But when it came to Feng Xia, things were completely different. Faced with such astonishing news, his response was simply three words—

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

"Your Excellency..." Yao Wenhua gritted his teeth again, "Don't you have anything else to say?"

"Anything else you want to say?"

Feng Xia's divine sense was still observing the environment of Yangkong Great Swamp. Hearing Yao Wenhua's words, he was taken aback and hesitated before replying, "Well... the scenery of Yangkong Great Swamp is quite nice. It's suitable for you and your Daoist partner to come and see it together in the future?"

Yao Wenhua: "..."

Was he asking about the scenery of Yangkong Marsh?!

"That's not what Yao was asking..."

After another awkward silence, Yao Wenhua broke the ice: "Regarding the treasure that Guanglingxuan obtained, even the powerful sects in the alliance would covet it. Fellow Daoist, do you really have no interest in it at all?"

"No."

This time, the answer was just two words.

Well... Yao Wenhua's level of frustration more than doubled.

"That's a treasure that can instantly transform a demigod into a god!"

"Oh."

"..."

Damn it! This guy was the one who said he wanted to come here for a detailed discussion, so how did it turn out that he's the one racking his brains to find topics to talk about? Isn't this development a bit off?

"You don't need to look at me like that, I'm really not interested."

Fortunately, at this moment, Feng Xia calmly turned around and chuckled, "Guanglingxuan has always maintained neutrality, and should know that once it is no longer neutral, it will inevitably incur the hostility of various sects. The various sects may allow Guanglingxuan's industries to grow, but they will never allow Guanglingxuan... to give birth to a true god."

Yao Wenhua nodded hesitantly.

“But Guanglingxuan is still clinging to this treasure. Either they are determined to make a name for themselves, or…” Feng Xia continued on his own, “What you need is not a true god, but the other effects of this treasure.”

"For example, prolonging life."
