The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 26 Bestowing Pills upon Shen 3!

After seeing off the overjoyed Su Qinghuan, the front hall of the Shen residence returned to its usual tranquility.

Lu Xuan sat in the main seat, his gaze deep and unfathomable, lost in thought.

Shen Qiansan stood respectfully to the side.

However, his slightly cloudy old eyes couldn't help but steal glances at the jade bottle in Lu Xuan's hand, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

But soon, he forcibly suppressed the longing in his eyes and lowered his head.

That's a perfect Soul Condensation Breakthrough Pill!

Even someone like him, who has spent his entire life navigating the business world and has seen countless rare treasures, couldn't resist its allure.

But Shen Qiansan was self-aware.

I am nothing more than an old servant, and it is a miracle that I have survived this long.

Such a divine object should be left for Your Highness to recruit even younger masters in the future, in order to gain greater benefits.

Just as Shen Qiansan was lost in thought, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.

"then."

Something was thrown from Lu Xuan's hand.

Shen Qiansan instinctively reached out to catch it, but when he saw the jade bottle in his hand, he was struck dumb and almost dropped it.

When His Highness spoke to Su Qinghuan earlier, he thought His Highness was just making an excuse to leave behind a pill.

This……

I never expected... I never expected His Highness would actually give it to me!

He suddenly raised his head, staring at Lu Xuan in astonishment.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xuan was also taken aback.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take the pill, and hurry up and break through!"

After he finished speaking, his expression was indifferent, as if what he had just thrown out was not some priceless elixir, but a candy that could be found anywhere.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiansan's eyes instantly reddened.

Instead of swallowing the pill as Lu Xuan instructed, he knelt down with a thud and held the jade bottle high above his head.

"Your Highness, absolutely not! This... how can this old servant accept such an honor?"

"This old servant is already over sixty years old, my energy and blood are declining, and my potential has been exhausted."

"Even if I take this pill and manage to break through to the Soul Platform Realm by sheer luck, I'll be stuck there for the rest of my life."

As he spoke, he raised his head, his eyes full of sincerity.

"Besides, this old servant is just a merchant. I am content that I can help Your Highness with accounting and running errands."

"This old servant is truly not good at fighting and killing, and cannot be of any help to Your Highness."

"Such a miraculous elixir would be a terrible waste to use on this old servant..."

"Your Highness, please rescind your order and reserve it for more talented young heroes who can fight for you!"

Shen Qiansan spoke these words with genuine sincerity.

He was genuinely thinking of Lu Xuan's best interests.

In his opinion, his old bones weren't worth that price.

They simply cannot afford such a miraculous elixir.

Seeing the old man kneeling on the ground, insisting on refusing, the coldness in Lu Xuan's eyes melted away, replaced by a faint gentleness.

He slowly got up and walked to Shen Qiansan. Instead of reaching for the jade bottle, he helped the man up.

You're wrong.

"In my eyes, the so-called geniuses and talents in this world are as numerous as carp crossing a river. If I so desire, I can create countless Soul Platforms with a flick of my wrist."

"but."

Lu Xuan changed the subject, staring intently at Shen Qiansan.

"Loyal and righteous individuals like you, who, for the sake of your grandfather's dying wish, lived in anonymity for over a decade, guarding your vast wealth without wavering in your original aspirations, are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!"

Loyalty is a thousand times more valuable than talent!

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiansan trembled violently, tears streaming down his face.

"Your Highness..."

Lu Xuan interrupted him and continued.

"You're saying you're old and useless?"

"Hmph, that applies to mortals."

"Don't you know that a martial artist in the Spirit Sea Realm only has a lifespan of 120 years, but once they build a Soul Platform and ignite the divine fire, their lifespan can increase to 300 years!"

"You are sixty years old now. If you break through to the Soul Platform, you will be in your prime!"

Lu Xuan gently patted Shen Qiansan's trembling shoulder.

"Old Shen, I have a long road ahead and many people to kill."

"With this vast fortune and extensive intelligence network, I wouldn't feel at ease without someone I know well watching over it."

"Therefore, I do not want you to go into battle and kill the enemy."

"As long as you live well and live for a few more centuries, you can protect the rear for me."

"This is an order, and also a reward you deserve for your loyalty to your maternal grandfather and mother."

"have eaten!"

Shen Qiansan was already sobbing uncontrollably.

A scholar will die for one who understands him!

In the first half of his life, he devoted himself to repaying Grand Tutor Xiao's life-saving grace, and in the second half, he devoted himself to protecting his young master.

Now that His Highness values ​​him so highly and trusts him so sincerely, even if Shen Qiansan were to be shattered to pieces, it would be worth it!

"This old servant...yes!"

Shen Qian kowtowed deeply.

Without further hesitation, he uncorked the bottle, tilted his head back, and swallowed the pill.

boom!

The pill entered the stomach, and its immense medicinal power instantly transformed into a torrent of heat that swept through the entire body.

Although Shen Qiansan's aptitude was not as good as Su Qinghuan's, he had stayed at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm for a longer time than Su Qinghuan. His inner strength had already reached its limit, and he was just one step away from the final breakthrough.

At this moment, under the domineering medicinal power of the Perfect-grade Breakthrough Pill, the bottleneck that had troubled him for many years was as easy as breaking through a window!

"Buzz!"

In just a moment, a powerful aura belonging to the Soul Platform Realm erupted from Shen Qiansan's body.

His previously hunched back slowly straightened up.

The deep wrinkles on my face also smoothed out and faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Black hair had sprouted from his full head of silver hair.

Rejuvenate!

This is a leap in the level of life, resulting in an increase in lifespan.

After a while, Shen Qiansan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly, showing no trace of his previous old age.

If he was just a shrewd rich man before, now he is an old lion that has been lying dormant for a long time and has finally awakened!

"Soul Platform Realm... Is this the power of the Soul Platform Realm?"

Shen Qiansan looked at his hands, feeling the surging vitality and power within his body, and trembled with excitement.

He never imagined that he, a man with one half of his body buried, would actually have a chance to live another life!

"Thank you so much, Your Highness, for saving my life!"

Shen Qiansan knelt down again.

This time, his voice was loud and clear, full of energy.

"From this day forward, my life belongs to Your Highness!"

Lu Xuan looked at the completely transformed Shen Qiansan and nodded in satisfaction.

Get up.

"Now that you've made the breakthrough, go and prepare properly."

"Three days later is the Hundred Herbs Pavilion's auction, which is also the second big show prepared for our Crown Prince."

Shen Qiansan stood up, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, this old servant will make the arrangements immediately."

……

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

As soon as Su Qinghuan returned to Baicaoge, a bombshell piece of news spread throughout the entire capital city in a very short time.

Furthermore, it spread to the surrounding states and counties at an astonishing speed.
