After the banquet ended, the crowd had not yet recovered from Master Bai's rare and respectful attitude toward Ling Xiao. They stood in place, completely bewildered, whispering and speculating among themselves. Having wandered the martial world for many years and believing they were well-versed in every kind of power and influence, they had never witnessed such a spectacle. Why would Master Bai, the awe-inspiring underworld emperor who commanded the winds and rain on a daily basis, show such deep deference to this seemingly ordinary young man?
Some wealthy individuals who had just witnessed the astonishing effects of the Youth-Preserving Pill after Elder Su took it now felt an irresistible itch in their hearts. They swarmed over, their faces plastered with ingratiating smiles, eager to ask Ling Xiao about purchasing a Youth-Preserving Pill.
A plump-faced middle-aged businessman spoke up first: "Mr. Ling, I've heard you possess this miraculous Youth-Preserving Pill. I wonder if you might spare one for me? As for the price, just name your figure, and I won't hesitate for a second."
