Chapter 744: Chapter 207 The True Secret Treasure, The Legacy of Chang Chun Valley!_3
Hearing this, everyone was startled—the figure from over a hundred years ago, Chang Chunzi?
At this moment, Ah Da spoke up, “Commandery Princess, does that mean this Chang Chunzi is now over a hundred years old?”
Hearing these words, Zhao Ya replied, “That was a hundred years after his disappearance from now. You must know that when he served as the Valley Master of Chang Chun Valley, he was already fifty-three years old. That is to say, he is now at least one hundred fifty-three years old.”
“One hundred fifty-three years old?”
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished. Could there really be someone of such advanced age in this world?
Though it seemed impossible, it wasn’t out of the question—after all, Master Zhang of Wudang had lived to be one hundred forty years old, and Basiba Living Buddha was also nearing the venerable age of one hundred thirty. Could it be that Chang Chunzi was a high personage of this sort?
People meditated on this, but were quickly drawn in by Chang Chunzi’s words.
“This should be your final trial here. Years ago, a girl surnamed Han came to this place. I gifted her a Fire Phoenix Pill. Now that you have arrived, I cannot let you leave empty-handed.”
“This furnace contains newly refined Tai Sui Pills, a total of one hundred.”
As he spoke, the Pill Furnace suddenly opened, and out floated one hundred water-blue Tai Sui Pills.
Although Tai Sui Pills are replenishing medicines, they also have their attribute characteristics. For example, Earth Attribute Tai Sui Pills are best for replenishing physical strength and vitality.
Whereas Water Attribute Tai Sui Pills are more suitable for replenishing the vast consumption of Gang Qi.
At this moment, as these Tai Sui Pills appeared, everyone looked over and saw the pills gleaming blue and exceptionally smooth, obviously top-grade Elixirs,
judging by their appearance to be even better than the Second Grade Tai Sui Pills held by the Commandery Princess, they were close to Third Grade quality.
Such Tai Sui Pills, each were of extremely high value.
Looking at the one hundred Tai Sui Pills before them, everyone’s eyes shone brightly; this was indeed a fortune enough to tempt any man.
Especially for those Martial Artists in the Holding Core Realm,
although they could also obtain Tai Sui Pills, pills of this quality were rare.
With that thought, everyone’s gaze fixed on the Tai Sui Pills: those pills could change the fate of a Holding Core Realm power, even enough to support their breakthrough to the Wolf Smoke Realm,
therefore, everyone present was somewhat envious.
Moreover, the relationship among the five individuals present was also quite delicate, with no small amount of grudges between them,
whether it was a matter of stance or strife.
Thinking this, a die suddenly appeared in the sky, and the old Taoist’s voice announced, “This die will determine the order of allocation.”
With that, everyone saw the die in the sky, inscribed with the characters for metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and one blank side.
The die twirled in the mid-air, and whichever side it landed on would determine their order; a blank meant a reroll.
After hearing the rules, the die began to spin.
The die quickly twirled and soon came to a stop, displaying a bold character for earth.
Everyone was taken aback and looked at Demon Granny, who suddenly became joyful upon her face. Did this mean she could pick first?
With this thought, an unprecedented smile appeared on her face.
Then the die kept spinning, and the next moment it landed on metal!
Yu Mei Zi grinned; she could pick second. Mine, all mine!
Following that, the die spun again, and this time: wood.
Chen Jie’s gaze sharpened slightly; third, alright then.
The die spun once more, and it revealed fire.
Ba Tan slightly frowned; what could he get as the fourth?
Then the fifth, no need for a roll, was water: Nan Batian.
Nan Batian’s expression darkened; being fifth, what good could he possibly pick?
With this in mind, Nan Batian felt somewhat despondent.
However, it was at this moment that the old Taoist’s voice rang out once more, “Very well, it seems the order is set. As such, let me explain the rules.”
The crowd was taken aback upon hearing this. Wasn’t it simply the case that whoever was first would choose first? Why was there still allocation needed?
Could there be some trick to this?
With this thought, they saw the old Taoist speak, “Let me explain the allocation rules. Starting with the first person, he will propose an allocation plan. Then, the others will vote by raising their hands. If a majority agrees, that’s considered a successful allocation. If not, that person shall be killed!”
“So, dear juniors, prepare yourselves; the game is about to begin…
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. It turned out to be such a game. That meant the one responsible for the first allocation might not necessarily receive the most benefits.
If his allocation fails to gain the majority’s recognition, he would be killed, potentially losing his life?
The five individuals immediately widened their eyes, and then found themselves forcibly pulled onto pillars marked one through five by a mysterious force.
Those watching from outside also widened their eyes at this scene. Ah San turned to Ah Er and asked, “Ah Er, what does that mean?”
“It means it’s a game where you could lose your life!”
Upon hearing that, Ah San gave Ah Er a look and replied, “You’re stating the obvious.”
Meanwhile, Zhao Ya was also deeply furrowing her brow, instinctively sensing that this was no simple matter; although it seemed a straightforward issue of allocation, it was, in fact, a test of human nature and, of course, wisdom.
At this moment, Ah Da looked at Zhao Ya and said, “Commandery Princess, what’s there to enjoy in this game? The first person simply proposes a reasonable plan, everyone agrees, and it’s all over; how simple.”
Hearing this, Zhao Ya looked at Ah Da and said, “Simple?”
Ah Da replied, “Yeah, isn’t it simple?”
Zhao Ya then asked, “What would be considered a reasonable allocation plan?” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveI(F)ire.net
“An even split, of course!” Ah Da blurted out.
Zhao Ya then said, “An even split, first of all, Demon Granny would have to think of it at that level. Secondly, Yu Mei Zi has a grudge against Demon Granny, and Ba Tan always likes to take more. Nan Batian also listens to Ba Tan. So what kind of allocation would Demon Granny need to propose for it to be considered an even split?”
