"Plop ~"
Staring at the center of the so-called "poison source," Bai Xiaochun didn't even have time to react. Meng Hao was so shocked that he fell to the ground. This result was completely beyond his expectations and imagination.
Both he and Bai Xiaochun had thought that they were innocent. The only reason they had stayed was to watch the show and satisfy their curiosity for gossip.
How could Meng Hao ever have imagined that his attempt to distance himself from the matter and Bai Xiaochun would result in all of his attempts to explain himself? In the face of the iron-clad truth, all of his attempts to explain himself were like bubbles popping into existence.
"Gulp ~"
Bai Xiaochun swallowed his saliva and subconsciously pulled on his fur coat. He didn't know why, but he felt an indescribable chill rising from the soles of his feet, freezing his feet, his back, and his brain.
The root cause of all the chaos in the Tower of Time was actually him. He had unknowingly drugged everyone, and he himself was completely unaware of it.
At this moment, Bai Xiaochun was filled with regret. He wished that he could buy medicine for regret and turn back time.
When he could prove his innocence, he should have left as soon as possible. He should have left this place as soon as possible.
Now, he had once again become the culprit. This time, he was not the culprit that was suspected, but the real culprit. This was an iron-clad truth that no one could refute.
Meng Hao and Bai Xiaochun weren't the only ones who couldn't react. Even the demons felt as if they had been struck by lightning. They were so shocked by the true identity of the culprit that they didn't know what to do.
The culprit was still the same culprit, but the meaning was completely different.
For a moment, the noisy crowd quietened down and fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone felt as if the heavens were playing a joke on them, giving them the easiest and most difficult answer.
"What should we do?"
The demons looked at each other. They were sure that Bai Xiaochun had done all of this subconsciously. He didn't even know what had happened.
However, Bai Xiaochun was the cause of all of this, and he had something to do with it.
If they let Bai Xiaochun off just like that, others might think that they were weak and easy to bully.
If they punished Bai Xiaochun severely, however, the Time Replay showed them Bai Xiaochun's terrifying talent in pill concoction.
From an ignorant youth who didn't know the art of pill concoction to a Spring Pill that could poison fourth and fifth stage experts, it had only been a few months in the Tower of Time.
If the outside world was included, not even a day had passed.
In such a short period of time, Bai Xiaochun's growth surpassed what most of them could achieve in years, or even decades.
If they punished Bai Xiaochun, they would be offending Bai Xiaochun to the core.
Tomorrow, Grandmaster Alchemist Bai Xiaochun would come to get his revenge.
Among these demons, there were indeed some with deep backgrounds. At the same time, their current low strength also showed that they were only ordinary in the forces they belonged to. They were dispensable.
Bai Xiaochun, on the other hand, was different. If one were to say that Bai Xiaochun was an ordinary member of Wanjie Lou today, then from this moment on, his status would undergo a heaven-shaking, earth-toppling transformation.
Regardless of whether or not Bai Xiaochun had anything to do with the Starry Sky Commercial Corporation, from this moment on, he would become a target for many of the powers in Wanjie.
"How are we going to resolve this?"
All the demons looked at the black bull demon, waiting for him to make a decision.
Among the Demonfolk, only the black ox spirit had revealed his own background. On the surface, he had the same status and background as Meng Hao, and was qualified to negotiate with Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hao.
It was impossible for them to let Bai Xiaochun off so easily.
They also couldn't punish Bai Xiaochun severely, because it could easily lead to Bai Xiaochun's retaliation in the future.
Because they had to choose a suitable punishment that was acceptable to the demons, and not too embarrassing for Bai Xiaochun.
The black bull demon looked at the pairs of eyes that were looking at him. He blinked his big bull eyes in confusion, and his mind was in a mess.
He was not smart to begin with, and now he needed to be quick-witted. He had no idea what to do.
"Bai Xiaochun, let me ask you. Do you admit your mistake today?"
Seeing the black bull demon's confused face, the green flood dragon shook its head, stood up, and scolded him.
This matter had to be resolved as soon as possible, and cut the Gordian knot. It had to turn a big problem into a small one, and turn it into nothing.
Bai Xiaochun swallowed, put on an obedient look, and nodded gently.
Although he wanted to shift the blame, he was already a scapegoat, and there was no way to get rid of it.
"Do you need to take responsibility for this?"
The green flood dragon continued.
He was very satisfied with Bai Xiaochun's attitude of admitting his mistake.
He had stood up for a selfish reason. He wanted to show some face in front of the demons, as well as in front of Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hao, and let everyone know that he existed.
Bai Xiaochun nodded, his face pale, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
In the face of ironclad facts, no amount of flowery words could refute it.
If the demons asked for compensation, he would run. If they asked for training, he could accept it, and he would compensate.
Meng Hao also stood up, a helpless look on his face, and his heart felt like it was being trampled by ten thousand alpacas.
Earlier, he had sworn that Bai Xiaochun was not the killer, but reality had slapped him hard in the face.
In his eyes, Bai Xiaochun, who was the least likely to be the killer, was the ultimate killer.
"As compensation, for the next ten years, all of us who were poisoned can ask you to concoct a pill. The pill we concoct will not exceed the limits of your ability, nor will it exceed the limits of our cultivation. What do you say?"
The green flood dragon's eyes not only stopped on Bai Xiaochun, but also on the demons.
He was the one who asked for the compensation. Not only did Bai Xiaochun have to agree, but the demons also had to agree. Otherwise, the agreement could not be reached.
"I have no problem with that."
Bai Xiaochun nodded without hesitation. His round face was flushed, and he was clearly a little excited.
The compensation was not worth mentioning in his eyes.
"Ten years? Sure. "
"Bai Xiaochun's talent in concocting pills is superb. A request for concocting pills is totally worth it."
"Other than this punishment, what else can we do to punish Bai Xiaochun? Kill him?"
The demons discussed for a while, and before long, they agreed to the green flood dragon's suggestion.
The reason why they agreed was that Bai Xiaochun's extraordinary talent in concocting pills.
Perhaps before this year, Bai Xiaochun would become a grandmaster in concocting pills. What seemed like a small compensation would be a huge gain.
"Phew ~"
Seeing that the demons had agreed, Meng Hao and Bai Xiaochun breathed a sigh of relief.
If they were really chased by the demons, they would not know what to do.
After all, Bai Xiaochun was in the wrong.
Both sides agreed, and the agreement came into effect under the witness of Wanjie Lou. The demons also left. They needed to cultivate in seclusion for a while to lie low.
"Hey, Bai Xiaochun, can you sell me that pill?"
After the demons left, Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hao also left quickly. But when they turned a corner in the Tower of Time, the green flood dragon suddenly came out and said.
"You don't want that pill to do anything bad, do you?"
Bai Xiaochun shook his head subconsciously. The terror of that pill had been proven.
If it was used by bad people, it would definitely cause a world-shaking upheaval.
"I have seventeen wives and concubines in the Original World. I just checked my body, and there are no side effects. I haven't dared to go home for thirteen years."
The green flood dragon's face darkened, and he spoke through clenched teeth.
When he was young, he was high-spirited. Even before he became old, his legs were already trembling. Moreover, he found that as his strength increased, the improvement in certain aspects was very limited.
In the Myriad World Pagoda, there were no such health supplements.
"I'm willing to buy it at the price of a fourth-grade pill. If the effect is good, I'll buy it again."
Meng Hao, "…"
Bai Xiaochun, "…"
Bai Xiaochun pretended to be in deep thought, and then traded a special pill with the green flood dragon. Both sides were happy.
"Remember not to tell others."
After saying that, the green flood dragon looked around stealthily, and then quickly disappeared into the Tower of Time.
"Hey, Bai Xiaochun, can you sell me one of those pills?"
Bai Xiaochun was on the fourth floor of the Tower of Time. When they walked to the stairs leading to the third floor, a coquettish snake spirit looked around vigilantly and asked in a low voice.
"I can't give it to you. It has to be used carefully."
Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hao were both stunned. Bai Xiaochun refused.
The green flood dragon felt powerless, but the female snake spirit definitely didn't have such a worry.
"I plan to wrap the pill recipe in a sachet and hang it in my bedroom!"
The snake spirit said gloomily.
"That's not good ~"
Bai Xiaochun was a little embarrassed.
There was a high chance that someone would die!
"My husband is cultivating every day and has almost forgotten about me. I know what you're worried about. My husband's cultivation level is one level higher than mine."
The snake spirit explained.
She didn't know if it was because of cultivation, but her husband's temperament was becoming more and more indifferent. The poisoning incident made her understand that a husband and wife needed a catalyst.
"I'll buy it at the price of a fourth-grade pill."
Afraid that Bai Xiaochun wouldn't agree, the snake spirit quickly added.
"Take it. If something happens to your husband, it has nothing to do with me."
Bai Xiaochun said with a strong sense of righteousness.
"Don't worry. Remember not to tell anyone."
After saying that, the snake spirit left as if nothing had happened.
"Hey, Bai Xiaochun, can you sell me one of those pills?"
Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hao looked at each other, both felt their legs trembling. They swallowed and walked down.
When they reached the third floor of the Tower of Time, the black bull spirit, who had been wandering at the stairs, walked over with a happy expression.
Meng Hao, "…"
Bai Xiaochun, "…"
"What's with your expressions? I was injured in my mother's womb, so I don't have enough Innate Qi. In some aspects, I might not be able to meet expectations. If you sell me one of those pills, I'll definitely repay you generously in the future. "
The black bull spirit said solemnly.
It wasn't that other alchemists couldn't concoct such a special pill, but that he found it hard to ask. Since he had lost face in front of Bai Xiaochun, he might as well just be shameless.
"I'll buy one at the price of a fourth-grade pill."
"But don't tell anyone."
Meng Hao, "…"
