The grime on the surface of the Immortal Demon Pill crumbled in her hands.
A strong aura of the Immortal Demon burst forth to the sky.
"Immortal Demon Pill?"
At this moment, not only Sang Yuhe, but the others were also staring in shock at the Immortal Demon Pill in Sang Yuhe’s hand.
Even the middle-aged man who was just earlier unwilling to put down the Medicine Tripod walked over.
Ding Huan noticed that after the Immortal Demon Pill was revealed, the Family Heads and Sect Leaders from the Four-direction Star Land looked at him with intense murderous intent.
It seemed they were worried their murderous intent would be too obvious, and they quickly concealed it.
Ding Huan understood what these fellows meant.
He was from the Star Land, and having obtained such a great thing as the Immortal Demon Pill, he should have first presented it to the Four Great Families or the three great sects, not bringing it here to offer treasures privately.
Even if offering treasures was appropriate, someone like Ding Huan should not be the one to make the offering; it should be one of the Four Great Families.
The five powerhouses from the Advanced Civilization Planet paid no attention to Ding Huan anymore, all eyes excitedly on the Immortal Demon Pill in Sang Yuhe’s hand.
Ding Huan could see the desire and greed in their eyes.
But Ding Huan didn’t care; even if these five would fight over the uneven distribution later on, they wouldn’t start now.
As long as they didn’t start fighting now, he would have a chance to board the spaceship of Advanced Civilization.
Out of the corner of his eye, Ding Huan saw people from the Four Great Families frantically contacting the outside world, obviously investigating his background.
It probably wouldn’t be long before his background would be thoroughly investigated.
After more than ten minutes, Sang Yuhe finally took out a Jade Box to store the Immortal Demon Pill contributed by Ding Huan, and then placed it into the larger Jade Box next to her.
This Jade Box was jointly guarded by the five of them and did not belong to any individual.
The Medicine Tripod from earlier was also placed next to this large Jade Box.
Ding Huan subtly sensed that the middle-aged man’s gaze always lingered on the Immortal Demon Pill, showing how much he cared about it.
"What’s your name?" Sang Yuhe asked with extreme warmth, her tone noticeably more enthusiastic than before.
"My junior self is called Ding Huan." Ding Huan stepped forward and bowed.
Sang Yuhe nodded,
"The item you brought out is very impressive; do you have any requests?"
Clearly, the item Ding Huan had brought out was beyond the scope of their usual treasure acquisitions, which prompted her to actively ask Ding Huan for his requests.
Sang Yuhe was worth befriending, grateful and rewarding, which made Ding Huan feel very much appreciated.
It was obvious to her that he had brought others with him, otherwise, she would have just offered him a spot without asking if he had any other requests.
How could he not seize such an opportunity? He quickly stepped forward and respectfully said,
"My junior self admires the Advanced Civilization and would like to take my family and pets to the Advanced Civilization Planet."
Under normal circumstances, if Ding Huan dared to make such a request, he would have been slapped dead by now.
But now, the item Ding Huan had brought out was the Immortal Demon Pill, making his request completely reasonable.
The Immortal Demon Pill Ding Huan had offered was worth several top treasures.
Moreover, anyone with a bit of emotional intelligence could see that it was Sang Yuhe herself who had prompted Ding Huan to make a request.
Hearing Ding Huan’s words, Sang Yuhe was not surprised. She turned to look back, and the other four didn’t even need to discuss it; they all nodded in agreement.
Sang Yuhe smiled,
"That’s possible; we’ll make an exception and add one more spot for you, and as for your pets, they can also follow you onto the spaceship."
"Thank you, elders, for your generous affection. I will remember this great kindness," Ding Huan said, excited beyond measure—this was settled.
Just then, Zuo Shiken from the Zuo Family stepped forward and said,
"Elders, this Ding Huan is a person of very poor character. If he goes to Advanced Civilization, I fear it may damage your reputations."
Ding Huan was furious, this son of a bitch.
Sang Yuhe slightly frowned,
"What do you mean?"
Her anger was not at Ding Huan, but at Zuo Shiken; they had decided on a matter, and yet Zuo Shiken dared to speak out of turn and raise objections.
The Family Head of the Zuo Family, Zuo Shiken, spoke with a sincerity matching his name,
"Ding Huan arrived at the Four-direction Star Land half a year ago and then sold a broken spaceship to my Zuo Family at a high price, as if it were operational.
We have not found him until now; I didn’t expect he would secretly come here to offer treasures."
"The Family Head of the Zuo Family is correct. How can someone with such a corrupt character be qualified to go to an Advanced Civilization Planet? His Demon Core might also have a dubious origin."
Yu Qie, the Family Head of the Yu Family, immediately supported Zuo Shiken.
Following that, other Family Heads and Sect Leaders stepped forward to accuse Ding Huan, feeling that someone with as a corrupted character as he did not deserve to go to an Advanced Civilization Planet.
Sang Yuhe’s face remained calm, only staring at Ding Huan,
"Is this true?"
Ding Huan stepped forward, unflustered, and said,
"Elder, I am just a newcomer, and the Zuo Family is one of the Four Great Families of the Four-direction Star Land.
In other words, with just their word, I wouldn’t even have a place to live, so how would I dare to sell them a broken spaceship as if it were a good one?"
"Just say whether you sold a spaceship to my Zuo Family or not."
Zuo Shiken didn’t want to argue with Ding Huan anymore.
All eyes were on Ding Huan.
Ding Huan said calmly,
"I indeed sold a spaceship, whether to the Zuo Family I don’t know, I only know the buyer was called Tou Jie."
"As long as you admit it, Tou Jie is a member of my Zuo Family. Now tell me, was the spaceship you sold in good condition or not?"
Zuo Shiken snorted.
Ding Huan ignored him and continued to say,
"At that time, I was unwilling to sell my warship, but the sister from the Zuo Family had the upper hand with her people’s support, and she forcefully demanded that I sell the warship to her. Many people witnessed this incident.
I said my warship was broken, but the sister said she didn’t care if it was broken, she wanted to buy it. I had no choice but to sell the warship to her at the price of ten thousand purple gold coins.
That price was also set by the sister from the Zuo Family. I, a newcomer from outside, didn’t even dare to dispute the price."
Everyone knew that even a broken warship was worth more than ten thousand purple gold coins, and the price was ludicrously low.
Zuo Shiken said coldly,
"People from my Zuo Family are not idiots. Why would we knowingly buy a broken warship?"
"Are you saying that you regret the purchase?"
Ding Huan asked.
"I made it very clear. The intelligence of my Zuo Family is normal; we would never purchase a broken warship."
Ding Huan no longer paid attention to Zuo Shiken’s irrelevant remarks and took out a contract and handed it to Sang Yuhe:
"Senior, this is the contract from when the warship was sold."
Sang Yuhe took the contract and glanced at it before tossing it to Zuo Shiken:
"I don’t mind your Zuo Family ruling over Four-direction Star Land, but now Ding Huan is considered one of us in Star Land. You still dare to slander him; could it be that you think we don’t kill?"
Though she said this, she really appreciated Ding Huan.
A newcomer handled affairs with such meticulous care and foresight; it was no wonder this newcomer was able to produce a top treasure and obtain the qualification to board the spaceship.
Looking at the contract floating in front of him, Zuo Shiken broke into a cold sweat.
If he knew where the sister from the Zuo family died, he would undoubtedly dig her up and flog her ten thousand times.
That idiot had been with their Zuo Family for so many years and still made such a low-level mistake.
The contract clearly stated that both parties were willing, and the sister from the Zuo Family knew that the warship was broken, and whoever reneged on the agreement would compensate ten thousandfold.
He had just implied he wanted to renege.
Ten thousandfold compensation—could the Zuo Family still afford to exist in Four-direction Star Land if they had to pay ten thousandfold of ten thousand purple gold coins?
"So, is your Zuo Family going to pay the ten thousandfold compensation?"
Sang Yuhe looked at Zuo Shiken and asked.
Sweat beaded on Zuo Shiken’s forehead, and he quickly bowed deeply:
"Senior, I was unaware that a traitor appeared in my Zuo Family, this sister…"
Sang Yuhe waved her hand to stop Zuo Shiken’s words and turned to Ding Huan:
"Do you want the Zuo Family to make the ten thousandfold compensation?"
How long had Ding Huan been in this world? If Sang Yuhe agreed that he should get the ten thousandfold compensation, she would not have asked him.
The powerful individuals from the Advanced Civilization Planet wouldn’t take his side either; they came here to purchase top-quality treasures on behalf of the Four Great Families and the three great sects.
Even a mighty dragon would not crush a local snake; naturally, they wouldn’t wipe out the Zuo Family in one fell swoop.
Ding Huan respectfully said,
"Whatever senior decides is fine."

"What do you think yourself?" Sang Yuhe asked again.
Ding Huan could only say,
"I feel it would be meaningless to demand so many purple gold coins, so I have no intention of demanding compensation from the Zuo Family."
Hearing this, Zuo Shiken let out a sigh of relief.
Sang Yuhe was very pleased with Ding Huan’s tact. In fact, she would not have stood up for Ding Huan even if he had demanded compensation.
"You are at least the head of a family, but your insight is even less than that of an ordinary person."
Sang Yuhe glanced at the Zuo Family, her tone somewhat discontented.
Ding Huan had a gene spiritual root; she couldn’t sense his cultivation at all.
It was Qi Xinyue standing beside Ding Huan whose vitality fluctuations she could feel, indicating cultivation.
"Yes, yes…" where could Zuo Shiken dare to argue.
Sang Yuhe didn’t continue dwelling on the matter.
"Well, now it is the turn of the Four Great Families and the three great sects to present treasures. This time, Ding Huan’s offering stood out the most, and moreover…"
Here Sang Yuhe paused as if she had just remembered something, and she beckoned to the chubby young man who had offered the Medicine Tripod:
"What’s your name?"
The chubby youth hurriedly came over and replied,
"My name is Lou Buzhi."
Lou Buzhi? Sang Yuhe suppressed a laugh as she said,
"Hmm, that’s not a bad name. Your Medicine Tripod is accepted; count it as one quota."
Lou Buzhi was overjoyed and excitedly bowed,
"Thank you, senior, thank you…"
After signaling Lou Buzhi to step aside, Sang Yuhe continued addressing the rest:
"Because of the appearance of two extraordinary treasures this time, by rights, the Four Great Families and the three great sects should have no opportunity to present any more treasures.
However, we can’t let you be disappointed, so one more quota will be provided for you seven families. The one whose treasure surpasses the others will be the last one to follow us and leave this place."
Ding Huan then understood that under normal circumstances, the three quotas in this phase of the treasure offering were all meant for the Four Great Families and the three great sects.
Only this time there was an unexpected development, unexpectedly being himself and Lou Buzhi.
Because the treasures he and Lou Buzhi had presented exceeded the common range, that’s why the Four Great Families and the three great sects were left with only one quota.
Even that was given specially; otherwise, there wouldn’t be any at all.
