"This is it." Linlong smiled and took out a black and red egg-sized fruit from the pile of herbs.
"Isn't this the Vermilion Lotus Fruit?"
"That's right!"
"This Vermilion Lotus Fruit does have some anesthetic properties, but it's very weak. It wouldn't have much of an effect on Old Madam."
"Lin Li, are you going to use this Vermilion Lotus Fruit to frame Miracle Doctor Xue?"
…
Those who recognized what herb it was immediately looked at Linlong suspiciously.
Pan Qi's face darkened. He thought that Linlong would be able to find out what was wrong. He didn't expect Linlong to take out something that everyone knew.
Miracle Doctor Xue, who was originally feeling very guilty, calmed down after hearing everyone's words.
He was guilty because of Linlong's sudden suspicion. Now that he thought about it, he realized that Linlong wouldn't be able to expose him even if he found out what he was up to.
After all, the method he used was extremely secretive. There were less than a handful of people in the entire Chaos Continent who knew about it. How could the young Linlong know about it?
He said proudly, "Young man, have you learned alchemy? Do you know that the Vermilion Lotus Fruit has a very high usage rate? The reason why people use the Vermilion Lotus Fruit is because it has a little anesthetic effect and can relieve the pain of the sick. I used this Vermilion Lotus Fruit because I saw that the old madam was in too much pain, so I used it to relieve the old madam's pain. "
"That's right."
"That's right. That's how the Vermilion Lotus Fruit is used. Lin Li, you should go home and drink your milk."
Some people even started to mock Linlong after hearing what Miracle Doctor Xue said.
If Pan Qi wasn't present, some of them would have spat at Linlong.
Pan Qi still didn't say anything. He just looked at Linlong. Even though he was more disappointed than hopeful, he still had that little bit of hope for Linlong.
Pan Mulan couldn't bear to see the criticism and doubt around them. However, Linlong remained calm as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Everyone is right, but you only know one thing. You don't know the other," Linlong said faintly.
"What do you mean only know one thing? Do you think you can say anything about the Vermilion Lotus Fruit?"
Hearing Linlong's words, the surrounding people were filled with anger.
The truth was that the Vermilion Lotus Fruit only had some anesthetic effects, but Linlong refused to admit it. How could they not be angry?
Some people even clamored for Pan Qi to chase Linlong out.
Only Miracle Doctor Xue's heart skipped a beat. He calmed down when he thought about how secretive and complicated the technique was.
"Young man, why don't you tell me what the second reason is?" Miracle Doctor Xue sneered.
"Lin Li, there's a limit to my patience. I hope you can convince me," Pan Qi said at this moment.
This guy couldn't keep up the act any longer. He was going to be punished by the Island Master! This thought flashed across everyone's hearts when they heard Pan Qi open his mouth.
"Did you notice the Lilac Stone, the Black Edge Leaf Grass, and the Mo Fan Flower?" Linlong said calmly.
"I'm a little curious too. These herbs shouldn't have anything to do with Old Madam's illness. Why would they appear here?" Hearing Linlong's words, some people who were knowledgeable about alchemy asked doubtfully.
Once this was said, someone immediately retorted, "Miracle Doctor Xue is a Miracle Doctor. Even ordinary alchemists can't fathom the ingenuity of his medicine. How can a half-baked person like you understand it?"
After being rebuked, the person who had such a question had an awkward expression on his face.
Linlong smiled faintly and said, "That's not right. Miracle Doctors are humans too. They make mistakes. Moreover, Miracle Doctor Xue's' Miracle Doctor 'is just a cover."
"You're slandering me!" Miracle Doctor Xue shouted angrily as he pointed at Linlong with a trembling finger.
If it wasn't for his status, he would have probably pounced on Linlong and beat him up.
In his anger, Miracle Doctor Xue's heart trembled a little. This was because Lin Li seemed to know about his secret technique.
"Lin Li, stop talking nonsense. If you have any evidence, show us!" Pan Qi said with a gloomy face.
The reason why Linlong didn't get to the point was naturally because he wanted to buy time for Fat Cat. Otherwise, why would he waste so much time talking to Miracle Doctor Xue?
Hearing Pan Qi's words, he smiled faintly and said, "Island Lord, the three herbs that I mentioned seem ordinary and seem to have no effect on the Vermilion Lotus Fruit. However, with the right combination, they can stimulate the strong medicinal properties of the Vermilion Lotus Fruit!"
Once Linlong said this, someone immediately sneered. "Stimulate the strong medicinal properties of the Vermilion Lotus Fruit? You're bragging. I swallowed seven to eight Vermilion Lotus Fruits in a row yesterday and nothing happened. "
Everyone around could tell that this person was bragging. However, no one questioned him because they didn't believe Linlong's words.
However, it was also at this time that an authoritative voice rang out. "Hmph, do you think the magic of alchemy is something that you can take for granted?"
Everyone turned to look and saw that the person who spoke was an elder who had been silent all this while.
With the identity of this elder, that person didn't dare to say anything else. Everyone else who wanted to respond also shut their mouths.
The elder said to Lin Long, "Lin Li, I'm not on your side now. If you want to gain my approval, you'll have to show us evidence that will convince us."
The reason why this elder stood out was indeed not because he had approved of Linlong, but because he couldn't stand the way some people took things for granted. Everything came out of their mouths without any verification.
After all, he had once seen the ability of a powerful alchemist to turn something rotten into something magical.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Elder." Linlong thanked him before turning to Pan Qi and saying, "Island Lord, I need some tools to mix these herbs on the spot."
Could Lin Li really mix these herbs and stimulate the medicinal properties of the Vermilion Lotus Fruit? Seeing that Linlong was really going to make a move, everyone put away their doubts and shifted their gazes to Linlong to see if he had the ability to do so.
"I want to see how you're going to do it!" Miracle Doctor Xue snorted coldly.
It looked like he didn't care about Linlong's torment at all, but only he knew that his heart was beating wildly.
"Alright!" Pan Qi replied loudly before instructing his subordinates to prepare the tools and ingredients for Linlong.
Very quickly, the corresponding tools and ingredients were placed in front of Linlong.
Linlong immediately started to mix these herbs.
The scene became quiet as everyone's gazes were focused on Linlong. They wanted to see if Linlong had the ability to stimulate the medicinal properties of the Vermilion Lotus Fruit.
