Yin Yang Heavenly Emperor Technique

In an instant, almost all eyes in the banquet hall fell on Qin Feng.

There was mockery, pity, and schadenfreude.

"It's over!"

Xu Wan's pretty face darkened slightly, and she quietly clenched her hands in her sleeve.

The young master... it seems he really came empty-handed!

Seemingly noticing Qin Feng's "predicament," Huangfu Yuxiang's cool voice rang out again, calmly making excuses for him: "The Qin family has just suffered a calamity, and Young Master Qin is still in mourning. I'm afraid he has no time to attend to these trivial matters."

"trivia?"

Huo Zun, however, seemed unwilling to let Qin Feng off the hook, and pressed on, saying, "Her Highness the Princess's birthday is a matter of utmost importance in the eyes of us subjects, how could it be some trivial matter?"

"Anyone who doesn't take this matter seriously is showing disrespect to Her Highness the Princess and to the royal family of the Azure Dragon Kingdom!"

What a big hat!

The surrounding young noblemen nodded in agreement, their gazes toward Qin Feng growing increasingly hostile.

Qin Feng ignored Huo Zun's aggressive gaze and simply spoke calmly.

"Who said I didn't prepare a gift?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his wrist, and a simple jade box appeared in his palm. With a casual toss, it landed steadily on the table in front of Huangfu Yuxiang.

"This is my birthday gift to Her Highness the Princess."

Huangfu Yuxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief for Qin Feng, but just as she accepted the gift, Huo Zun, standing beside her, said sarcastically again, "We are all very interested in what kind of grand gift this young master Qin has given us. Why don't you just open it?"

"Guests are always welcome; a small gift carries great meaning. There's no need to worry about the price of the gift."

Huangfu Yuxiang frowned.

"Your Highness, since everyone is so eager to see this," Qin Feng's gaze swept over Huo Zun, a faint smile playing on his lips, "it wouldn't hurt to broaden their horizons."

Seeing Qin Feng's confidence, Huangfu Yuxiang no longer hesitated and gently opened the jade box with her slender fingers.

hum.

A pure aura of life and medicinal fragrance instantly spread out.

A pill, entirely emerald green and shimmering with cinnabar light, with five distinct cinnabar patterns clearly visible on its surface, lay quietly inside.

"Pfft—"

The moment Huo Zun saw the pill, he burst out laughing, his face filled with undisguised contempt.

"I thought you were going to produce some earth-shattering treasure, but after all this time, all you have is a Rejuvenation Pill?"

"Oh, it even has five pill patterns, and it's a perfect quality Rejuvenation Pill. It's a pity that even if it's perfect, it's still a trashy first-grade pill. Did you pick this up from some street stall?"

Even if it is a perfect rejuvenating pill, it is still just a rejuvenating pill. Compared with Huo Zun's thousand-year-old vermilion fruit that can increase cultivation and prolong life, it is simply worlds apart!

In the eyes of these princes and nobles, this is just trash!

"Blind fool." Qin Feng scoffed, picked up his wine cup, and took a small sip. "Who told you this was a Rejuvenation Pill?"

Huo Zun's laughter abruptly stopped, his face darkening: "What else could this be but a Rejuvenation Pill? Boy, this general has some knowledge of alchemy; don't try to fool me!"

"In that case, how about we take a gamble?" Qin Feng put down his wine glass, his eyes suddenly sharpening.

"If this isn't a rejuvenation pill, then slap yourself ten times and get out of this royal banquet, how about that?"

"good!"

Huo Zun's face darkened, and he laughed angrily, "But if I'm right, you've committed the crimes of deceiving the emperor and disrupting the banquet. I will personally escort you to the imperial prison to await your judgment!"

The atmosphere instantly became tense!

"Can!"

Qin Feng simply nodded slightly and said calmly.

Seeing Qin Feng nod in agreement, Huo Zun's face suddenly broke into a triumphant smile. He turned around abruptly, his gaze sweeping rapidly across the crowd, finally landing on an old man in a gray robe in the corner, exuding a profound and imposing aura. His eyes then lit up.

He respectfully clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute: "Master Liu Xuan!"

"You are the owner of Wanbaolou in the capital, and a highly respected third-grade alchemist! We implore you to examine our work and prevent this young man from passing off his own work as genuine, thus offending Her Highness the princess!"

Swish!

All eyes were on the old man.

Liu Xuan!

The titan of alchemy in the Azure Dragon Kingdom!

With him in charge, whether the elixir is real or fake, whether it's a dragon or a worm, will be immediately clear!

Huangfu Yuxiang frowned slightly. She wanted to stop this farce from escalating, but when she saw Qin Feng's calm and composed eyes, she swallowed her words.

Could it be... that this elixir truly holds a hidden secret?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Liu Xuan slowly stood up and walked forward.

He glanced at Qin Feng first, a hint of disdain flashing in his cloudy old eyes. He had seen plenty of these attention-seeking young people.

He picked up the pills from the jade box and glanced at them casually.

Hmm, its color is emerald green, its medicinal power fluctuates steadily and evenly, and all five pill patterns are very clear... It is indeed a perfect Rejuvenating Single Pill.

There is absolutely no need for further testing.

But the next second, when he brought the pill to his nose and took a gentle sniff, the expression on his face suddenly froze!

This smell is off!

Besides the rich life essence, there also seemed to be a trace of... the scent of time?

"this……"

Liu Xuan's cloudy old eyes widened instantly, as if he had seen something unbelievable. He quickly probed the pill with a wisp of his divine sense!

boom!

His mind felt as if it had been struck by lightning!

His hand, which was holding the pill, began to tremble uncontrollably. Then, his aged body also trembled slightly, and his breathing became extremely rapid!

On that calm, old face, first came shock, then ecstasy, and finally, a deep, pilgrimage-like devotion!

What's going on?

Huo Zun's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition rose within him.

It's just a Perfect Rejuvenation Pill, why would Liu Xuan react so strongly?

Could it be that……

"Master Liu?"

Huangfu Yuxiang also sensed something was wrong and couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"

Liu Xuan then came to his senses, held the pills in both hands, bowed respectfully, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"Your Highness, this pill is not a first-grade Rejuvenation Pill!"

Liu Xuan took a deep breath, used all his strength, and roared out each word clearly, his voice echoing throughout the entire Tianxiang Garden!

"This is a... Grade Three Youth-Preserving Pill!"

"What?! A youth-preserving pill?!"

These words caused an uproar throughout the banquet hall.

"What?! A youth-preserving elixir?!"

"A youth-preserving elixir that can make people stay young forever? How is that possible?!"

"Rumor has it that the formula for the Youth-Preserving Pill has been lost to time, and this pill hasn't appeared in the entire Azure Dragon Kingdom for a century!"

The women present, whether daughters of noble families or ladies of the court, all lost their composure at this moment. Their eyes were bloodshot as they stared at the pills in Liu Xuan's hand, their breathing heavy, as if hungry wolves had spotted fresh meat.

For women, cultivation can be gradually developed, but beauty fades easily. The allure of a youth-preserving elixir that can maintain eternal youth far surpasses any invincible cultivation technique or martial art!
