"Congratulations to the two of you. After suffering comes happiness. I think the higher-ups of your Snow Sword Faction will have to find a place to buy medicine for regret." The bespectacled doctor had expected all this. He stood at the side and smiled faintly.
"That's great! That's great! I'm a Golden Core expert now. Let's see who can stop me now. Wahahahaha! " Xue Jianfeng's despair and decadence were swept away, and he suddenly became arrogant. Even the way he looked at the bespectacled doctor and Brother Dafeng was not as respectful as before. Instead, he began to look down on them.
After all, in terms of strength, the two of them did not even have the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he was now a high and mighty Golden Core expert. They were not on the same level at all. Strength determined the right to speak. In addition, he had always been arrogant. Now that he had reverted to his old ways, he naturally looked down on them.
Bing Wuqing's behavior was no different from before. She was expressionless and looked on coldly.
Looking at Xue Jianfeng's arrogant behavior, the bespectacled doctor suddenly laughed. He shook his head and said, "Don't celebrate too early. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Why don't you check your Dantian first?"
"Dantian?" Xue Jianfeng was stunned. He quickly checked his Dantian carefully and found nothing strange. However, when he checked for the second time, he suddenly found a faintly discernible and strange vital energy wandering around his Dantian. This vital energy was very weak. If he did not check carefully, he would not notice it at all. It was uncontrollable and could not be eliminated. Xue Jianfeng could not help but be shocked. "What the hell is this vital energy?"
"Poisonous gas. To tell you the truth, every improved version of the elixir produced by our center has a poisonous gas. This poisonous gas usually hides in your Dantian and does not cause any harm. However, after a long time, it will become active. Once it gets out of your Dantian, it will be fatal." The bespectacled doctor laughed.
"What?" Xue Jianfeng's expression changed drastically. He quickly asked, "Then aren't we definitely going to die?"
"Don't be so nervous. Our center's improved elixir is a rare product that can't be bought outside. How can we waste it? As long as you do your job well, I will naturally give you the antidote to control the poisonous gas regularly. If you don't listen to me, then I can only leave you to fend for yourself. "The bespectacled doctor looked at the two fearlessly.
The Center was not a charity, nor were they fools. Although they also paid attention to controlling people's hearts, they would never leave a backup plan. That was because the human heart was the most difficult thing to understand and control in the world. In comparison, drug control was much safer and more reliable.
Of course, this control method was much simpler than Jing Taiyang's drug brainwashing, but the advantage was that it didn't hurt the brain, leaving no obvious side effects, no traces, and could retain more potential.
Therefore, such a method couldn't be used on ordinary people. Only those who held a grudge against the Archaic Alliance could be roped in, given elixirs, and then threatened to control them. Only by combining kindness and authority could one ensure that nothing would go wrong, just like Bing Wuqing and Xue Jianfeng.
It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. Xue Jianfeng had just thought of burning the bridge after crossing it, yet he was instantly dumbstruck, and he was stunned for a long time, unable to speak a proper sentence.
"Meticulous and resourceful. Looks like I didn't make the wrong choice." Bing Wuqing didn't care about this at all. In fact, she had already been prepared for this the moment she received the elixir. If the Center didn't have any means to control it, she would have doubted whether this organization had any future.
For him, who had been abandoned by the Snow Sword Faction's higher-ups, joining the Center now had no psychological burden at all. Even if the bespectacled doctor told him to make a move against the people of the Archaic Alliance now, he would absolutely not hesitate. As for controlling the elixir, there was no other way. There was still a long way to go.
"Of course, being able to join the Center is a blessing that you have accumulated over several lifetimes. I don't need to say more, you will naturally experience it in the future. Do well," the bespectacled doctor said proudly.
"Then what should we do now? Should we go straight to the north island's Blue Cloud Sect? That Lin Yi and Lin Dongfang, as well as Leng Leng, it's best if we kill them all! "Xue Jianfeng didn't dare to have any other thoughts, so he quickly adjusted his attitude.
"Lin Dongfang …" Hearing this name, Bing Wuqing's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Previously, when she was only in the early stage of the Golden Elixir Realm, she was no match for him, and was beaten up like a dead dog by that old man in public. Now that her strength had skyrocketed to the late stage of the Golden Elixir Realm, of course she wanted to take revenge with her own hands.
Looking at the murderous look on the two's faces, the bespectacled doctor snorted coldly and said with dissatisfaction, "I spent so much to support you two, is it just for you to take revenge for your personal grudges?"
"But …" Xue Jianfeng was taken aback. From the moment he found out about the poisonous gas in his Dantian, he had already completely adjusted his attitude. He knew that he was just a pawn in front of the other party, so he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. Seeing the sudden change in attitude, he immediately panicked. "Your Excellency … Oh no, Sir …"
"Call the higher-ups." Brother Dafeng, who was at the side, glanced at him.
"Yes, yes. Two higher-ups, if you don't want us to take revenge, what do you want us to do?" Xue Jianfeng asked carefully. If it was in the past, he would definitely not be so servile. However, after being crippled twice in a row, his temperament was completely different from before, and he no longer had the arrogance he used to have.
"Right now, our top priority is to rope in more people. Expanding our forces is the first priority. If you two go to take revenge just like that, you will only alert the enemy and ruin the big plan! I'm warning you, without my permission, the two of you must not show your true strength in front of outsiders. Otherwise, it will arouse suspicion, "the bespectacled doctor said in a low voice.
"Are we going to continue pretending to be crippled?" Xue Jianfeng asked.
"That won't be necessary. You just have to announce to the public that you obtained a fifth-grade Great Recovery Pill from the small Ancient Underworld through special channels. At most, the others will only talk about it for a while, and they won't be too suspicious," the bespectacled doctor said.
"That's not a problem. If someone asks, we can just push the blame to my father. In any case, he's the deputy leader of the Snow Sword Faction. If he's lucky, it won't be strange for him to get two fifth-grade Great Recovery Pills," Xue Jianfeng said with a nod.
"How do we rope in more people?" Bing Wuqing suddenly asked.
