The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Chi Miao: "It seems we need to conduct a rigorous experiment using the controlled variable method."

Adhering to the modern rigor of experimentation, Chi Miao quickly put on gloves.

Everyone: "The method of controlling variables?"

Chi Miao nodded, picked up the dagger and jade pendant: "The general idea is to keep all other conditions unchanged, change only one condition, and then experiment to obtain a certain result."

The others seemed to understand but not quite: "That sounds impressive. So, what's the variable that needs to be changed?"

Chi Miao: "It's a person!"

Everyone: "?"

Chi Miao looked at everyone: "We have men and women here, handsome men and beautiful women. If I give each of you two cuts, we'll be able to figure out the healing principle behind this jade pendant!"

She was very interested and eager to try!

She smiled at everyone while holding the dagger.

"Damn! Don't make it sound so perverted and creepy!"

Human research is unacceptable!

Song Chenxing: "No! I'm going to fight back! I'm going to protest! How can you hurt someone with such beautiful hands!"

The result of the resistance was that everyone else got their arms slashed, while the resister got slashed twice.

Song Chenxing: "..."

Everyone looked at him with pity: "We told you to behave, but you wouldn't listen."

You've been following Chi Miao around for so long, don't you know what kind of person she is?

Chi Miao held up the dragon-patterned jade and tested it on each of the people one by one.

But strangely enough...

Dragon-patterned jade has a certain restorative effect on people, but its effect is not even as good as healing pills.

But it was completely different with Chi Miao.

Jingming: "Why don't you try it on yourself?"

Chi Miao nodded and gestured towards himself again.

Dragon Pattern Jade instantly restored Chi Miao this time as well.

Everyone: "Huh?"

Chi Miao: "I'll try again."

Having said that, she became even more ruthless this time.

With a "snap," the dagger pierced through the arm.

Everyone: "???"

What are you doing, you silly goose?!

next second.

Something outrageous happened.

Under the influence of the Dragon Pattern Jade, Chi Miao's penetrating wound visibly healed completely.

Everyone: "Huh???"

"Wait... what's going on with this jade?!"

Jin Shengfei: "Why does it feel like this jade is practically emblazoned with the words 'Chi Miao's Exclusive'?"

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.

"Impossible, right? This...this jade, it can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

But Jin Shengfei's mouth has already said it...

Chi Miao then coolly stabbed himself twice more.

But no matter how many times he is stabbed, he can recover from the injury quickly.

Chi Miao pointed the dagger at his heart: "I'll try to revive you."

"No way, are you crazy? Calm down!!!"

The crowd quickly stopped Chi Miao, snatched her dagger, and threw it away.

Chi Miao: "Why are you all in such a hurry... I'm just saying, do you think I'm the kind of person who would do something like this?"

The prodigies all exclaimed in unison, "You are!"

Chi Miao: "..."

Jin Dapang was also sweating profusely: "If others can't use this, the reputation of my Wan Jin Auction House will be in trouble!"

"The person who consigned this item told us about the jade pendant's effects, and our auction house's appraisers also verified them; the effects are indeed real. But... but how could these effects only work on Miss Chi Miao?"

If this thing is sold and the other party finds out it's useless, they'll be in big trouble!

Although the news was suppressed by the Heavenly Sword Sect, Wan Jin Auction House wasn't that stupid. They didn't want to offend the Heavenly Sword Sect, but that didn't mean they couldn't use some underhanded tactics.

For example, the message could be sent to members who already have high spending habits.

Many of those who came to Wan Jin Auction House today came specifically for this jade pendant.

While it wouldn't necessarily force Wan Jin Auction House out of business, it's better to avoid trouble.

The best outcome would be for Chi Miao to obtain the jade pendant, and to acquire it legitimately through an auction.

Jin Dapang had to pay even more attention to Chi Miao's business.

Chi Miao touched the jade pendant and asked, "Who consigned this jade pendant for auction?"

Jin Dapang honestly replied, "A handsome guy with white hair."

Everyone: "..."

What a vivid and eloquent description! It's direct and to the point.

Chi Miao looked at everyone: "Do you guys know that handsome guy with white hair?"

Ying Wuhuo: "My master?"

The sect leader of Nine Swords Mountain.

Chi Miao: "It shouldn't be the sect leader. He would never be willing to sell such a treasure."

Others: "We don't know any handsome white-haired men, but we do know some old men with white hair."

Kim Dae-pang: "No, he's very handsome, so handsome that I'd fall in love with him."

Everyone: "..."

But to my recollection, there really isn't such a person.

Chi Miao stroked her chin: "When he brought this jade pendant, did he say anything?"

Jin Dapang nodded and said, "He said that the one destined to obtain it can use this jade pendant to visit Penglai."

Everyone was startled.

A visit to Penglai?!

Song Chenxing's face darkened: "People from the Tantric sect?"

He then turned to look at Chi Miao: "Are you connected to Tantric Buddhism?"

Their Shenji Sect was founded by disciples of the Tantric sect. Although they haven't had much contact over the years, almost all of their divine calculation skills come from the Tantric sect.

Chi Miao chuckled awkwardly twice: "I...I don't know anything about Tantric Buddhism, but I have a red mark on my body that is said to come from Tantric Buddhism."

Song Chenxing: "Crimson patterns?"

Chi Miao displayed his black illusory core.

It is as beautiful as the stars in the universe.

Everyone was captivated by the illusory pill, their gazes fixed on it as if drawn by its beauty, unable to resist moving closer.

"What a beautiful nascent soul..."

They wanted to touch it with their hands.

The instant they touched it, they felt an extremely terrifying suction force.

"What are you doing?! What are you trying to do to my golden core?!"

Chi Miao quickly took away the illusory pill.

Everyone then came to their senses.

Song Chenxing was shocked: "Wait, where's your Danwen?"

Chi Miao: "The pill pattern was black, and it immediately fused with my golden core upon contact, completely filling it. In other words... my entire golden core was shaped like that pill pattern!"

Song Chenxing's pupils dilated in shock: "This...how is this possible?!"

Suddenly he remembered something else.

"Wait, let me check the information."

He took out a book from his storage ring, and after flipping through it for a long time, he finally found it. He was also sweating profusely. He looked up at Chi Miao with a strange look in his eyes.

He said, "Get your coffin ready, cherish the little time you have left, you're doomed."

Chi Miao pointed at herself incredulously: "Me? Me??"

"Why is it my turn to finish again?!"

Why does she have to prepare a coffin and die every few days?!

Do you know that what you're doing is really bad?

Song Chenxing was too lazy to explain further, so he said, "Your pill pattern is indeed extraordinary, including the fact that it has modified your golden core, making your golden core... potentially kill you at any time."

"Come and see for yourself."

He handed the book to Chi Miao.
