"This pill is called the Heart Piercing Soul Gnawing Bone Pill. If you think you can take it, I won't stop you!" Bao 'er said as she handed over a pill.
As soon as Bao 'er finished speaking, the excited official seemed to have a bun stuck in his throat. His hot blood was forcefully choked back.
Test the pill? Heart Piercing Soul Gnawing Bone Pill? Ignoring the effects, just hearing the name made people feel a chill in their hearts. A poisonous pill? An extremely poisonous pill?
It was not that he had never heard of poison pills. There were quite a number of poison pills in this world. However, compared to medical and breakthrough pills, there were far fewer of them. After all, pills were used to help people break through and increase their cultivation. What was the use of poison pills? Poisoning people?
Not only that official, but almost all the people who were heckling also felt a chill!
A seventh-grade poisonous pill. How fierce would that be? Who would dare to try it?
"No, those are all Yang materials. There is no poison at all. Ten-thousand-year-old Purple Gold Vine, Ten-thousand-year-old Poria Cocos, Ten-thousand-year-old Thousand Leaf Grass, Thirty-thousand-year-old Spirit Crow. All of them are top-notch supplements. Even if you eat them alone, it's fine. How can you refine them into poisonous pills?" One of the onlookers immediately shouted.
As soon as that person said that, the crowd immediately agreed. Yes, those pills were all great supplements. How could they be refined into extremely poisonous pills? Moreover, the higher the grade of poisonous pills, the fewer there were. They had never heard of a Heart Piercing Soul Gnawing Bone Pill!
However, some people frowned and looked at Bao 'er in shock.
"You can try it if you don't believe me!" Bao 'er said with a smile.
Everyone looked at the person who had rebuked earlier. That person was fine with heckling, but he did not dare to try the pill. His face was flushed red. He wanted to leave the crowd, but he was blocked by the people behind him. He could not leave no matter what.
Everyone looked at him with disdain.
At this moment, they looked at the official again. He was silent. Clearly, he had given up on the idea of swallowing the pill.
Bao 'er looked at the crowd and said with a smile, "There are still some grandmasters of alchemy here. They should know that every medicinal ingredient has two sides. As long as the right method is used, poisonous medicinal ingredients can be refined into extremely nourishing pills. Similarly, these nourishing medicinal ingredients can also be refined into extremely poisonous pills. Refining pills not only depends on the ingredients, but also the method. Otherwise, who in the world can refine pills with good medicinal ingredients? Then what's the point of having a grandmaster alchemist? "
"Yes!" Some people nodded. Some of the alchemy experts were even more enlightened.
"But this medicinal pill of yours, I've never heard of it before. What should we do then?" One of the onlookers jeered.
"That's right. You only took an incense stick's worth of time to refine it. How can we believe that? Even if we believe that it's a poison pill, we can't be sure what grade it is!" Another person said.
Bao'er smiled without saying anything.
"Well, alchemist of the Supreme Pill Sect, because I have never seen this pill before, I can't judge it. Please allow me to report it to my master. Can you wait for a moment?" The official became much more obedient this time.
Bao'er nodded. She naturally had no objections.
"What's there to report? It's obviously just a strange pill that he wants to bluff his way through. To be able to refine a grade-7 pill in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, what a joke! Hahahaha! "Suddenly, a burst of mocking laughter came from the back of the crowd.
His voice was sarcastic, as if it contained a bone-deep hatred.
Hearing this voice, Zhong Shan, who had let Bao'er perform on the side, narrowed his eyes. A cold light burst out from his eyes.
Because the person who said this was none other than Nie Kuang, Duke Xiaoyao of the Dali Heavenly Dynasty, who hated him to the core!
As soon as Duke Xiaoyao spoke, everyone turned their heads to look. Duke Xiaoyao was dressed elegantly and held a paper fan in his hand. He looked at Zhong Shan with a provocative expression.
Someone had come to pick a fight. Everyone was stunned. Sure enough, it was fun to watch!
Some of the people with better eyesight recognized the person at a glance. Duke Xiaoyao of the Dali Heavenly Dynasty? The person with great power in the Dali Heavenly Dynasty? These people quickly saw the subtlety of the situation and became even more concerned. The number of onlookers also increased.
Naturally, Duke Xiaoyao didn't come alone. He had been beaten twice by Zhong Shan and still remembered clearly. When he came out, he brought ten ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators with him.
This was the extravagance of the Dali Heavenly Dynasty. The guards were all at the ultimate Emperor Realm.
Of course, this was also due to Duke Xiaoyao's special status.
As soon as Duke Xiaoyao arrived, he heard the people's discussion. Refining a grade-7 pill in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn? Was this a joke? Even the strongest alchemist in the Dali Heavenly Dynasty wouldn't dare to make such a claim. Thus, Duke Xiaoyao immediately assumed that Bao 'er's pill was a fake and that she was trying to use a miraculous pill to get away with it.
His old grudge was triggered. He immediately wanted to expose Gan Bao 'er's fake pill and use it to humiliate Zhong Shan and Gan Bao' er.
As soon as Sky Ling 'er saw Duke Xiaoyao, she glared at him and her eyes spat fire. She already knew what kind of person Duke Xiaoyao was. How dare he suddenly appear out of nowhere and question Sister Bao' er?
Everyone else also glared at Duke Xiaoyao angrily.
Duke Xiaoyao walked into the field and kept circling Bao 'er, Qian You, and Ling' er. A trace of lust flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph!" Sky Ling 'er snorted coldly.
Qian You, on the other hand, revealed a trace of disdain.
As for Bao 'er, she wasn't afraid at all. She smiled faintly and said, "You want to test the pill with your body?"
As soon as Bao 'er said this, almost everyone's eyes lit up. With a' swoosh ', everyone's gaze focused on Duke Xiaoyao.
Seeing Bao 'er counter Duke Xiaoyao's cold words with a single sentence, Zhong Shan gave Bao' er an appreciative smile.
At this time, a few more people walked over.
"Sky Ling 'er!" someone called out.
The crowd made a path. It was Nie Qingqing. Nie Qingqing had also arrived under the lead of a servant. Behind her was Duke Shao Fei.
"Sister!" Sky Ling 'er smiled and jumped over.
Nie Qingqing pulled on Ling 'er's hand and whispered something in her ear. Then, she looked at Zhong Shan and the others.
"Zhong Shan, we meet again!" Nie Qingqing greeted. However, when she greeted him, she didn't know why, but when she did, there was a trace of nervousness hidden in her voice.
"Princess Qingqing, Duke Shao Fei, I didn't expect to meet you here. Zhong Shan is honored. After we pass this round, how about you two come to my place for a gathering?" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"My pleasure!" Duke Shao Fei nodded with a smile.
"Mm!" Nie Qingqing nodded with a slightly red face.
"Hmph, my place? All the quiet and secluded courtyards in Blue Flame City had been rented out. Only the slum houses were left! Do you want to invite the princess to the slums? Hahaha, Zhong Shan, you are only fit to live in the slums. "Duke Xiaoyao mocked.
Slums? If it wasn't a quiet courtyard, then it was a slum? Those inns were all slums? Duke Xiaoyao's words had scolded most of the people present. One should know that those who were taking the test had just arrived in Blue Flame City. Naturally, they wouldn't be able to rent a quiet courtyard. Didn't this mean that most of the people here were living in the slums?
Everyone's impression of Duke Xiaoyao dropped drastically!
"I'm willing! What does it have to do with you? "Nie Qingqing said angrily.
Zhong Shan waved his hand and stopped Nie Qingqing. He then turned to look at Duke Xiaoyao and said, "So, Duke Xiaoyao, you are renting a quiet courtyard?"
"He is not renting it. I am the one who is renting it!" Nie Qingqing immediately added.
"So, you can't even afford to rent a 'slum'!" Zhong Shan said with a look of realization.
"Hahahaha!" A group of people who were unhappy with Duke Xiaoyao burst into laughter.
"Hmph, I am renting a slum? It's just that the princess paid the Spiritual Stones in advance. I have plenty of Spiritual Stones. No matter how bad the rent is, it is still better than living in a lowly place like you! "Duke Xiaoyao said angrily.
Zhong Shan's eyes turned cold. Lowly place? Hmph, did he really think that he was noble just because he was a descendant of the Celestial Empire?
"Some things can't be done with money. Do you have Spiritual Stones? So what if you have Spiritual Stones? Trash will always be trash. "Zhong Shan said coldly.
"What did you say?" Duke Xiaoyao said angrily.
"I said you are trash!" Zhong Shan said again.
"You …" Duke Xiaoyao glared at him angrily. The subordinates behind him quickly took out their weapons. It was as if they were ready to attack as soon as Duke Xiaoyao gave the order.
"Heh, you can't do anything to me in Lihuo Sacred Capital, your home ground. Now that I am here, do you think you can challenge me? I am not wrong to say that you are trash. You are only fit to eat and wait for death. You are only fit to live under the protection of your family! "Zhong Shan said coldly.
"Zhong Shan, what a poisonous tongue!" Duke Xiaoyao glared at Zhong Shan angrily.
Although most people didn't like Duke Xiaoyao, they felt pity for Duke Xiaoyao to be angered by Zhong Shan's words.
"It's not that I have a poisonous tongue. What I said is the truth. If it weren't for Princess Qingqing, would you be able to live in a quiet courtyard? Believe it or not, with your infuriating behavior just now, if you go and rent another house, not to mention a secluded courtyard, you won't even be able to rent a room in the 'slums' that you mentioned! "Zhong Shan said disdainfully.
After Zhong Shan finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhong Shan. This Zhong Shan was too arrogant! Even Nie Qingqing broke out in cold sweat for Zhong Shan. Wasn't his tone too big?!
"Hahahahaha!" Duke Xiaoyao laughed in disdain.
"You don't believe me? Why don't we make a bet? You send your subordinates to rent a room. I guarantee that you won't be able to rent a room in the 'slums' today. You won't be able to rent a room in a quiet courtyard. "Zhong Shan was still arrogant.
"What if I manage to rent one?" Duke Xiaoyao said coldly.
Zhong Shan stretched out his hand. Suddenly, a person squeezed out from the crowd and quickly placed a metal token in Zhong Shan's hand before leaving the crowd.
The sudden appearance of this person caused Zhao Suoxiang, Nie Qingqing, and the others to be slightly surprised.
"This is the token of Yunlai Inn's Sky Courtyard Number One. If you can rent it, this courtyard is yours!" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"It's real. That's really Yunlai Inn's Sky Courtyard Number One. I've seen the token of Yunlai Inn's Sky Courtyard Number Two. Other than the number, everything else is the same. It can't be fake." A local of Blue Flame City immediately shouted.
Everyone looked at Zhong Shan in a different light. That courtyard had never been rented before. Zhong Shan was giving it to him?
"Bet? What are you betting on? "Duke Xiaoyao said coldly. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
"You don't have to bet anything. If you win, this token is yours. If you lose, you don't have to give me anything." Zhong Shan pretended to be arrogant.
On the other hand, the people brought by Zhong Shan smiled. Indeed, if Zhong Shan were to lose, he would lose a courtyard. If Xiao Yao Hou were to lose, then he would be a piece of trash.
"Hmph! The five of you, go and rent a quiet courtyard for me. I don't care how much it costs! "Duke Xiaoyao shouted to the five people behind him.
"Yes!" The five people quickly left the crowd and flew into the city.
Zhong Shan sneered. Zhong Shan didn't dare to guarantee anything in other cities. However, Zhong Shan had already planned for the cities near the Taisui Celestial Empire. The Darong Chamber of Commerce's focus was on the cities around the Taisui Celestial Empire. Competing with Zhong Shan here would be courting death!
"After beating around the bush for so long, do you want to test the poison with your own body?" Bao 'er shouted at Duke Xiaoyao. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support legal reading!)
