God! ...

Chapter 23 Liu Ji has 1 million coins!

Upon hearing Shen Bilian's shout, everyone's faces showed amusement.

By now, they had already realized that Shen Jianguo and Shen Bilian were there to cause trouble.

First, they made the excuse of being worried about being implicated by the Ye family, then they said the jade necklace was fake, and now I don't know where they're going to find fault with them again.

Regardless, the Shen family still has some standing in Zhonghai, and their actions of undermining their own people are despicable to many present.

Seeing that Shen Bilian was about to cause trouble again, Shen Lang's face darkened, and he asked, barely suppressing his anger, "What are you trying to do now?"

If there weren't so many people around, making it difficult to take action, he would have loved to slap that brat a few times.

"Uncle, don't be angry."

Shen Bilian chuckled, "I'm only doing this for your family's good. How can you not appreciate my kindness?"

As she spoke, she walked over, picked up the glass bottle from the ground, and held it up in her hand.

"Look everyone, what's this?"

"The Ye family is really looking down on people; they even included garbage in the betrothal gifts."

"Who doesn't know that betrothal gifts are meant to have auspicious connotations? Does bringing trash imply that Shen Luoyi and the Shen family are trash?"

With the jade necklace already in front of her, she couldn't find fault with the value of the betrothal gifts anymore, so she could only bring up the Ye family's attitude.

If it is confirmed that the Ye family does not value engagement ceremonies and looks down on Shen Lang's family.

Even with a jade necklace worth hundreds of millions, Shen Lang's family would still be laughed at.

They might even be laughed at even more harshly!

Shen Lang was taken aback when he saw the glass bottle.

The bottle was extremely ordinary, and the contents of the liquid inside were unknown.

Could it be... that the Ye family really mixed the garbage into the gift boxes?

He secretly blamed the Ye family for being careless and not checking the betrothal gifts before sending them.

However, even if the bottle is trash, he won't admit it.

"Ha ha!"

Shen Lang laughed loudly: "Shen Bilian, you have no taste for this."

"The bottle contains a rare and priceless medicine. Put it down quickly, or you'll spill it."

"Uncle, you're not trying to fool me!"

Shen Bilian smiled slyly: "This bottle isn't even worth a penny, and you're saying the medicine inside is priceless? You're kidding me!"

"Since you say this contains medicine, what do you think it does?"

"this..."

Shen Lang's face stiffened.

He had only made the idea on a whim, trying to gloss over the matter, and couldn't think of any medicine that matched his claim of being priceless.

"What do you know, you little brat?"

Shen Lang feigned composure and said, "This medicinal liquid is extremely precious; you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"Put those things down quickly, don't delay the ceremony!"

He was determined to deny it to the death. Medicine is different from jewelry. Could they possibly test it on the spot?

"You bastard, Shen Lang!"

Shen Jianguo walked out with an angry expression.

"It's clearly trash, yet you claim it's priceless?"

"They clearly look down on you, yet you insist on trying to make yourself look good. You've truly disgraced the Shen family!"

Still not satisfied, he grabbed the small bottle from Shen Bilian's hand and was about to smash it on the ground.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the hall.

Feng Zhen strode into the hall, his eyes fixed on the bottle in Shen Jianguo's hand.

"Shen Jianguo, if you don't want this top-grade spiritual liquid, then give it to me!"

After returning home that day, he carefully studied the Seven Sons Rejuvenating Liquid that Ye Feng had given Feng Jingjing and found that its effects were surprisingly good.

Besides its effects, the premium elixir also has research value.

Many alchemists are willing to spend a lot of money to buy them back for research, hoping to gain inspiration and improve their alchemist level.

Whether Shen Lang knew this beforehand or not, it's no exaggeration to say it's priceless!

"Top-grade spiritual liquid?"

Upon hearing these four words, most of the people present were completely dumbfounded.

Many of them didn't even know what a cultivator was.

They would never know that even a level three alchemist needs luck to refine a top-grade spiritual liquid.

"Master Feng, could you please enlighten us?" someone asked as they stepped forward.

"All right."

Feng Zhen hesitated for a moment: "I believe that most of you have heard that there are some special beings in this world."

"This medicine was made by a highly respected figure among those people."

"Let me put it this way: if ordinary people take it, it can prolong their lives, comparable to an elixir that increases lifespan."

"If you give this medicinal liquid to a cultivator, it will definitely make them owe you a favor and help your family resolve a crisis!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing his words, everyone was greatly surprised.

The Feng family is a top-tier family in Zhonghai, and Feng Zhen is an expert in medicine; he wouldn't lie in public.

Rumors have been circulating for a while that his family possesses some unusual medications, and no one knows more about them than he does.

"Brother Shen Lang, I am very interested in this spiritual liquid. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it?"

"Patriarch Shen, this top-grade spiritual liquid, Liu Ji will pay one hundred million coins!"

"You think you can buy top-grade spiritual liquid for 100 million? I, Meng De, will offer 500 million. Patriarch Shen, sell it to me!"

"..."

Members of several top-tier families made offers.

Smaller families might not know about cultivators, but they've all heard of them to some extent.

They didn't care about the efficacy of the medicine; the key was that Feng Zhen said it could make cultivators owe him a favor.

It should be understood that sometimes, a cultivator's intervention can truly resolve a family crisis.

This kind of human connection, which can be regarded as a family tradition, cannot be measured by money!

Shen Lang was utterly shocked, never expecting that his casual remark would actually come true.

He quickly snatched the glass bottle from Shen Jianguo's hand and looked at it again and again with a delighted expression.

Today, the Ye family really made him proud. Not only did he receive the Empress Dowager's jade necklace, but he also received something of immense value.

Looking at the delighted Shen Lang, Feng Zhen sighed helplessly.

He knew just now that if he explained it to everyone, he definitely wouldn't be able to get this thing.

However, he couldn't possibly lie to Ye Feng's face.

"Shen Lang is incredibly lucky! How did Ye Feng end up engaged to his daughter?!"

Feng Zhen glanced at Feng Jingjing beside him and felt a pang of regret.

Shen Jianguo and Shen Bilian stood there stunned, both extremely frustrated.

They clearly wanted to embarrass Shen Lang's family, but each time they made a move, it only made them look better.

That's absolutely infuriating!

"Haha, Second Uncle, Bilian, is there anything else you want to say?"

Shen Lang said with a sneer, "Why don't you open the other betrothal gifts too, and look around? Maybe there are some good things inside?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jianguo's face turned bright red. Shen Lang's words were tantamount to slapping him in the face.

"snort!"

Shen Jianguo snorted coldly: "Don't be too happy yet, trouble might be waiting for you!"

"Second Uncle, is it really okay for you to curse the younger generation like that?"

Shen Lang's face darkened: "I've tolerated you for a long time. I didn't want to argue with you in front of the guests, but you've gone too far. You're truly disrespectful to your elders!"

Shen Jianguo came to cause trouble today, almost making him lose face in public.

Since everyone present knew what was going on, he simply turned against the other party.

With the Ye family's valuable betrothal gifts as a guarantee, even if people gossip, it won't be him who loses face.

"you..."

Shen Jianguo's face turned pale and then red, and he angrily flung his sleeve: "We'll see!"

"Bilian, let's go!"

"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off, haha..."

Shen Lang laughed loudly.

"Wait a moment!"

Just then, Ye Feng, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
