Thank you very much. "Taking the wooden box, the City Lord nodded.
Then he looked at Lin Long and asked in confusion, "This is?"
"This is the new Junior Brother Lin Li. Because he has solved a lot of problems for Master recently, Master asked him to come with us," Han Feicheng said.
"Hmm." The City Lord nodded with a look of approval.
"City Lord, you can give it to Second Madam now," Han Feicheng said again.
"Okay." With that said, the City Lord opened the wooden box and looked at the elixir in it. He said to a maid on the side, "Xiao Huan, give this elixir to Second Madam!"
"Yes!" The servant girl named Xiao Huan hurried over.
After taking the elixir from Han Feicheng, she walked to the bedside.
At this time, the other maid helped Second Madam up, and the two worked together to make Second Madam swallow the Meridian Unblocking Elixir.
"City Lord, the elixir will be released in a moment. At that time, Second Madam can meditate and channel the elixir in her body," Han Feicheng said.
"Okay." The City Lord nodded and said, "You two go to the hall and take a rest. I will go over then."
"Okay," Han Feicheng and Zheng Le responded.
Then, Steward Zhao walked out with the three of them.
"Steward Zhao, how is the situation?" After coming out, the people outside asked with concern.
"Second Madam has already taken the Meridian Unblocking Elixir. She should be able to recover in a while," Steward Zhao said.
"That's good." These people all heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, they followed Steward Zhao and Lin Long to the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
They didn't expect that after sitting for a while, someone rushed in.
"What happened?" Seeing the servant rushing in, Steward Zhao couldn't help asking.
"Second Madam couldn't unblock the meridians … Now her condition has become a little serious …" The person who ran in said breathlessly.
"What? How could this be? "Steward Zhao couldn't help but be surprised.
"Yes, how could this be?" Han Feicheng on the side was also very surprised.
Zheng Le was also surprised, but he didn't shout out like Han Feicheng.
"I don't know. The City Lord asked the two Young Masters to hurry over." Then the man looked at Han Feicheng and Zheng Le and said.
"Young Masters, let's hurry over." Housekeeper Zhao said.
Soon after, the three of them left the hall and headed towards that room.
Soon, they walked into the room. As soon as they entered, they saw the city lord pacing back and forth like ants on a hot pan.
As for the Second Madam, she had already returned to bed. Linlong noticed that her face was even paler than before, and her body was trembling uncontrollably.
"City Lord, what happened?" Han Feicheng asked the City Lord.
"Madam did not unblock her meridians after taking the Meridian Unblocking Pill. In this way, because she had forcefully used her strength to guide the medicinal power in her body, her condition suddenly became serious." The City Lord said with a frown.
"How could this be? It's not the first time Madam has taken the Meridian Unblocking Pill, "Steward Zhao said.
"Could it be that the Meridian Dredging Pill didn't work?" Han Feicheng said.
"However, wasn't the Meridian Opening Pill personally refined by Grandmaster Ling? How could it be ineffective?" The city lord couldn't help asking.
"It was indeed refined by Master himself." Han Feicheng nodded, then suddenly looked at Zheng Le and Linlong with an inexplicable smile on his face. "I'm afraid that when we brought it over just now, someone tampered with it!"
"Eldest Senior Brother, what do you mean?" Hearing Han Feicheng's words, Zheng Le's face couldn't help but become gloomy.
"What do I mean? Since Second Madam is in such a condition now, she must have taken a fake Meridian Unblocking Pill, but Master would never give us fake medicine, so it can only be that when we brought it over just now, you two did something behind my back … I trusted you so much, I didn't expect you to do such a thing! "Han Feicheng pointed at Zheng Le and said coldly.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you're slandering us. We didn't touch this pill at all along the way!" Zheng Le argued.
"If you didn't touch this pill, why would Second Madam be in such a condition after taking it? Do you think that Master gave us fake medicine? "Han Feicheng said again.
"Of course Master wouldn't give us fake medicine. I think there must be some accident." Zheng Le frowned.
He couldn't think of any reason at the moment, so he could only say that.
"Young Master Han, according to what you said, is it really fake?" The City Lord frowned and said.
"It's definitely fake. Of course, Master didn't give us fake medicine, but the two of them did it!" Zheng Le pointed at Zheng Le and Lin Long again.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you've really wronged us. How could we have tampered with the medicine?" Zheng Le argued again.
Just now, he had been holding the wooden box in his hand all along the way and didn't open it at all.
"You keep saying that you didn't do anything, but do you dare to test if Second Madam took the real Meridian Unblocking Pill!" Han Feicheng said coldly.
"Young Master Han, can you test if the Meridian Unblocking Pill is real?" The City Lord couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, as long as I make a solution and drip a drop of Second Madam's blood into it," Han Feicheng said.
"Okay, then test it immediately!" The City Lord said eagerly.
He naturally wanted to know if Second Madam took the real Meridian Unblocking Pill.
Han Feicheng looked at Zheng Le and said, "Junior Brother, what do you think?"
"Of course we have to test it." Zheng Le frowned.
He also wanted to know if it was a real Meridian Unblocking Pill.
"Okay, I'll make that solution now." As he said this, Han Feicheng took out three kinds of medicinal materials from his Space Ring.
Soon, he had concocted a colorless and transparent solution.
Then Han Feicheng pointed at the solution and said, "City Lord, this is to test if the Meridian Unblocking Pill is real. If Second Madam took the real Meridian Unblocking Pill, when her blood drips into this solution, it will immediately dissolve. If the Meridian Unblocking Pill is fake, after the blood drips into it, the solution will immediately solidify."
"Okay." The City Lord nodded to show that he understood.
Zheng Le didn't speak, because the solution that Han Feicheng made did have this effect.
Then, the City Lord came to the bed and grabbed Second Madam's right hand. As for Han Feicheng, he also walked over. He took out a silver needle and gently pricked Second Madam's right index finger.
The City Lord pressed a little harder, and a drop of blood fell into the porcelain bowl containing the transparent solution below.
As soon as this drop of blood fell, everyone's eyes immediately focused on the bowl of solution.
In just the blink of an eye, the solution immediately solidified into a block.
Seeing this, the City Lord's face couldn't help but turn ugly.
"This Meridian Unblocking Pill is actually fake!" As he said this, the City Lord's eyes immediately moved to Zheng Le and Lin Long.
Master Ling would never give a fake Meridian Unblocking Pill, so in his opinion, it could only be Zheng Le and Lin Long who tampered with it.
"Second Junior Brother, Lin Li, you really exchanged the Meridian Unblocking Pill!" Han Feicheng's face darkened, and he shouted at Zheng Le.
"City Lord, this is a misunderstanding. We didn't tamper with it at all!" Zheng Le hurriedly said.
He didn't know what exactly happened, but now he could only argue like this.
"What are you still arguing for? Hurry up and hand over the real Meridian Unblocking Pill. Can you afford to delay Second Madam's treatment?" Han Feicheng said again.
"Zheng Le, hurry up and hand over the Meridian Unblocking Pill!" The City Lord also stared at Zheng Le.
"City Lord, we really didn't tamper with this wooden box," Zheng Le said with a bitter face.
"City Lord, the two of them are so stubborn. We can only search them by force!" Han Feicheng immediately looked at the City Lord and said.
"For Master Ling's sake, I will give you a chance. Hurry up and hand over the real Meridian Unblocking Pill!" The City Lord still didn't intend to do it by force.
"City Lord, we don't have any Meridian Unblocking Pill on us at all." Zheng Le smiled bitterly.
"If that's the case, then I can only search your bodies by force!" The City Lord said with a frown.
As he said this, he directly shouted towards the outside. "Guards!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a few beastmen immediately walked in. Among these beastmen, there was even a third-level beastman.
"I will give you one more chance. Otherwise, I will really make a move!" The City Lord said again.
At this moment, Lin Long, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Wait."
"Hmm, what do you have to say?" The City Lord said with a cold face.
He would still show some mercy to Zheng Le, but to Lin Long, who he had never met before, he naturally wouldn't show any mercy.
"What I want to say is that the Meridian Unblocking Pill is real," Lin Long said calmly with a smile.
"Lin Li, who gave you the courage to speak so carelessly? If the Meridian Unblocking Pill is real, why didn't the Second Madam take it? Why did the medicinal liquid condense into a lump? "Han Feicheng sneered.
"Junior Brother Lin, if the Meridian Unblocking Pill is real, the Second Madam should be fine after taking it," Zheng Le said.
Zheng Le naturally also thought that the Meridian Unblocking Pill was fake, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong.
"Second Senior Brother, you don't know, but there are some drugs that can make the Meridian Unblocking Pill ineffective. That's why the situation just now happened," Lin Long said with a smile.
How does this kid know about this? Hearing Lin Long's words, Han Feicheng couldn't help but be shocked.
Regardless of whether Lin Long really knew about it or not, he naturally had to refute at this moment. Hence, he immediately said, "Lin Li, you are a new disciple. Do you think you know more than me? I don't even know about such a drug. How can you know?"
Zheng Le also looked at Lin Long with a puzzled expression because he didn't know about such a drug either.
In fact, Han Feicheng only dared to do this because Zheng Le didn't know about such a drug. Otherwise, he would definitely be afraid of being exposed by Zheng Le.
Lin Long ignored him, and instead looked at the castellan. "Castellan, in the two days before today, did the Second Madam take something that was very nourishing?"
Hearing Lin Long's words, Han Feicheng's expression changed even more.
However, in order not to be too conspicuous, he still resisted the idea of refuting Lin Long immediately.
"Eh, how did you know?" Hearing Lin Long's words, the castellan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"That's right. It should be that thing that reacted with the Meridian Unblocking Pill, causing the Meridian Unblocking Pill to be ineffective. That's why this happened," Lin Long said.
"Lin Li, you're talking nonsense. If you can tell me what the Second Madam took, I will only believe you!" Han Feicheng hurriedly said at this moment.
Lin Long smiled slightly, and then said, "If I guessed correctly, the Second Madam should have taken a medicinal soup brewed with the meat of the Golden Tortoise."
"That's right, it really is a medicinal soup brewed with the meat of the Golden Tortoise!" Hearing Lin Long's words, the castellan was immediately shocked.
Naturally, Han Feicheng was the most surprised.
"However, the meat of the Golden Tortoise shouldn't have any reaction with the Meridian Unblocking Pill," the castellan said doubtfully.
Although he was not an alchemist, he had some understanding of alchemy. Hence, he knew this.
"Of course the meat of the Golden Tortoise won't have any reaction with the Meridian Unblocking Pill, but if two medicinal herbs are deliberately added into it, then it'll be different," Lin Long said.
"Castellan, don't believe him. This kid just happened to be lucky and guessed correctly. He's just spouting nonsense!" Han Feicheng, who was at the side, hurriedly said.
"Eldest Senior Brother, why are you so anxious? Could it be that you brewed the meat of the Golden Tortoise?" Lin Long couldn't help but look at Han Feicheng.
Upon hearing this, Han Feicheng was immediately shocked, and hurriedly retorted, "You … What nonsense are you talking about? How could I, an outsider, help Second Madam brew medicinal soup? "
Lin Long ignored him, and instead looked at the castellan. "Castellan, if I can tell you the other two medicinal herbs in the soup, will you believe me?"
How could there be any more medicinal soup? Hence, even if Lin Li said it, there was no way to prove it. At the thought of this, Han Feicheng immediately felt relieved.
At this moment, the castellan asked, "What are the other two medicinal herbs?"
"One is called Dust Wolf Grass, and the other is called Hundred Miles Vine. Both of them are common herbs, but if they are brewed with the meat of the Golden Tortoise, they can suppress the Meridian Unblocking Pill and make it ineffective," Lin Long said.
Hearing Lin Long's words, Han Feicheng was even more surprised, because he really brewed the medicine with these three ingredients and gave it to Young Master Wei Wenhan for him to brew.
Frowning, he hurriedly said, "Lin Li, you're spouting nonsense again, aren't you?"
Lin Long still ignored him, and instead said to the castellan, "Castellan, is there any leftover medicinal soup? If there is, with Senior Brother Han and Senior Brother Zheng's abilities, they should be able to detect if there is Dust Wolf Grass and Hundred Miles Vine in it. "
How could there be any leftover? Even if there was, it should have been thrown away, Han Feicheng thought.
However, the castellan said, "There was indeed a little left yesterday. At that time, Madam couldn't drink it, and I felt that it would be a pity to throw it away, so I asked the servants to keep it. Due to Madam's serious condition last night, I forgot that there was such a thing."
No way, there really was leftover?! Upon hearing this, Han Feicheng's expression immediately turned ugly.
Of course, in order not to attract attention, his expression quickly returned to normal.
"Since there is leftover, please take it out and let my Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother verify it, Castellan," Lin Long said with a smile.
"Okay." The castellan nodded, and immediately asked the servants to bring the medicinal soup from yesterday.
