Li Shengtian took a deep drag from his cigar and fell into thought.
Given Jin Gong's old man's temperament, after killing Qin Xuan, he would come to settle accounts with him.
Therefore, it was best not to tell him about this matter. However, his son was still lying in bed, and this revenge could not go unavenged.
His trusted subordinate, standing nearby, seemed to read Li Shengtian's mind and suddenly said,
"President Li, I actually have a good idea."
Li Shengtian raised an eyebrow and looked at his subordinate, asking,
"Oh? You have a way?"
The trusted subordinate continued,
"I heard that Jin Shikai's female secretary..."
For the past two days, he had been recuperating peacefully at home, absorbing the original stone to cultivate.
The fifth dragon scale had already begun to show its edges. If things continued like this, Qin Xuan's fifth dragon scale would be fully grown in at most three days.
After completing ninety-six minor heavenly cycles of cultivation, Qin Xuan finished his absorption and took out the Sarira that Mo Tao had helped him bid for last time.
Last time at the auction, this Sarira had managed to block Qin Xuan's probe.
Therefore, this Sarira was definitely not as simple as it appeared.
Qin Xuan placed the Sarira in the palm of his hand.
After examining it closely for a while, Qin Xuan could not discern anything.
Other than being slightly larger than an ordinary Sarira, there was nothing else unusual about it.
If he hadn't sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy around the Sarira, Qin Xuan would have thought he had been swindled.
"How do I activate this thing?"
Qin Xuan fiddled with it for a while, even trying to use his dragon power, but he couldn't penetrate the Sarira's interior at all.
"Could this really be an ordinary Sarira?"
Qin Xuan began to doubt if he had misperceived it.
"Could this thing also require a blood pact to recognize its master?"
A bold idea surfaced in Qin Xuan's mind.
In the past, Qin Xuan had watched some television dramas where many spiritual treasures required a drop of blood to recognize their master. Could this Sarira be similar?
No sooner said than done, Qin Xuan bit his index finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the Sarira.
As soon as it dripped, Qin Xuan's blood was directly absorbed by the Sarira and merged into it.
Then, the Sarira trembled slightly, and in the next moment, several cracks appeared.
Qin Xuan was startled,
"Holy crap, is this thing going to shatter directly!"
Qin Xuan then remembered that his blood had been evolved into dragon blood by the Dragon Core.
Dragon blood contained world-destroying power.
Just a single drop could nourish all things, and similarly, it could destroy everything.
It was just that with Qin Xuan's current cultivation level, the dragon blood did not possess such immense power yet.
However, it was still not to be underestimated.
Before Qin Xuan could think further, the cracks on the Sarira emitted a blinding, intense light that Qin Xuan could not open his eyes against.
After a few brief breaths, the strong light gradually dissipated, and Qin Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
When Qin Xuan's gaze fell upon the Sarira again, he was utterly astonished.
The Sarira had shed its original exterior, radiating a dazzling golden light, and exuding a majestic Buddhist aura.
This was the Sarira's true appearance!
If it were put up for auction again now, it would fetch more than a billion, or even two billion!
Just as Qin Xuan marveled, the Sarira transformed into a golden ray of light and shot into Qin Xuan's chest.
Qin Xuan was stunned. Before he could react, his body began to feel scorching hot, and white smoke continuously billowed out.
Qin Xuan was so hot that he was drenched in sweat and immediately took off his jacket.
As the temperature in the room continued to rise, golden light gradually appeared on Qin Xuan's body, and soon, he was completely enveloped in it.
Immediately after, Qin Xuan's bones began to emit a series of "creaking" sounds, and his skin trembled incessantly.
Still unclear about what was happening, Qin Xuan gritted his teeth in pain. Shortly after, he collapsed onto the bed and fainted.
