"I'm slandering him?" Linlong faintly smiled, then said, "You can look at Luo Lingjun's eyes. Isn't there a ring of black gas on the outside?"
Hearing Linlong's words, the crowd quickly shifted their gazes to Luo Lingjun's face. Indeed, upon closer inspection, they discovered a ring of faint black gas.
"There's still very little on the outside of his eyes. You can open his eyelids. There's definitely more black than white inside. This is all because he was poisoned by the Black-Blue Fruit," Linlong continued.
Luo Xiong's expression changed, but he still stubbornly said, "It's just a normal symptom of being injured."
"You should still let him take the antidote. Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't be able to make it before you even walk down the stage," Linlong said again.
At that moment, Luo Lingjun, who was in Luo Xiong's embrace, violently convulsed again. Not only did he convulse, he was madly foaming at the mouth. At the same time, his eyes rolled up.
However, he didn't roll his eyes. Instead, his eyes turned black. At that moment, there was no longer any white in his eyes.
Originally, the crowd didn't really believe Linlong's words. Seeing that, how could they have the slightest doubt?
They couldn't help but start discussing.
"It seems that he really was poisoned by that Black-Blue Fruit …"
Luo Xiong's expression changed greatly. How could he still dare to argue with Linlong? He took out an antidote and fed it to Luo Lingjun.
The antidote immediately took effect. Luo Lingjun's symptoms greatly weakened.
Luo Xiong couldn't help but sigh in relief. However, he didn't expect Linlong's voice to ring out next to his ear. "The Black-Blue Fruit's poison cannot be easily dealt with by ordinary antidote pills. We need to think of another way."
"Hmph …" After coldly glaring at Linlong, Luo Xiong said nothing else. He carried Luo Lingjun and quickly walked down the stage.
Seeing Luo Lingjun and the people from the Luo family leave, the people on the stage couldn't help but ask Linlong about it.
"Linlong, how do you know about the Black-Blue Fruit?"
Even Lin Qingshan, Fang Feiyang, and the other Martial Lords widened their eyes. They had lived for most of their lives, yet they didn't know as much as Linlong. Naturally, they were incomparably curious.
"I learned this after asking Apothecary Jian." Linlong faintly smiled.
Apothecary Jian?
Everyone turned to look at Apothecary Jian.
Medicine Master Jian couldn't help but curse in his heart. Although he knew some of the characteristics of the Black-Blue Fruit, he didn't know it that well.
However, how could he refute Linlong now? He smiled and said, "That day when Little Brother Lin asked me about the Black-Blue Fruit, I explained it to him. I didn't expect him to be so smart. He remembered everything I said in an instant."
In order to further solidify this view in people's hearts, he continued, "Little Brother Lin is not only smart, but also very studious."
"I see."
"Linlong, you really surprised us."
"Learn more from Medicine Master Jian and the others. Chuxi Town will rely on you in the future."
The people around him could not help but praise Lin Long.
The adults were praising Linlong, but the young girls were looking at Linlong enviously. They really didn't know what kind of ability Linlong had to make an alchemist like Jian Lan teach him.
They were already satisfied that Apothecary Jian allowed them to watch while he was refining medicine. They didn't dare to ask for more.
Apothecary Jian and Apothecary Zuo naturally cursed in their hearts when they heard this. Why would Linlong need to learn from them? They were the ones learning from him.
However, they knew that Linlong was intentionally hiding his ability, so they didn't say it out loud.
The two matches ended just like that. Next, it was Linlong and Su Ranran's fight for first place.
Originally, the competition was supposed to be held the next day. However, Su Ranran directly forfeited the competition, and Linlong directly won first place.
Since Linlong's ability far surpassed Su Ranran's, the crowd didn't have much of an opinion about Su Ranran's forfeit. They knew that even if Su Ranran didn't forfeit, the outcome wouldn't have changed.
Everything was settled just like that. Then, after waiting for the side effects to pass, Linlong was led to an ancestral hall in the market by the leaders of the various clans.
Due to his increased ability, the side effects weren't as bad as before, and they didn't last long either.
Other than being used to worship the ancestors of the various clans, the most important function of the ancestral hall was to allow the young man who won first place in the annual martial arts competition to gain insight into martial arts.
The reason he could gain insight into martial arts was because there was a runic array under the ancestral hall that had been passed down since ancient times.
This runic array was discovered by the clan leaders of the various clans in Chuxi Town more than 50 years ago. However, because the runic array's energy was extremely weak, not only would martial masters and above fail to gain anything from entering, but the runic array would also be destroyed.
Therefore, the clan leaders of the various clans set a rule: only the first place in the martial arts competition could enter, and they could only enter once.
Over the years, the youths who had entered had basically not gained anything. Hence, it had become a ritual for them to enter later on.
Of course, it wasn't that they didn't gain anything, but that they gained very little.
The prize for the first place was not only to enter the runic array, but also to receive 10 Mysterious Qi Pills. To most people, these Mysterious Qi Pills were what attracted them the most.
However, for the current Linlong, it was basically dispensable.
Before coming to the ancestral hall, the 10 Mysterious Qi Pills had already been given to Linlong.
After entering the ancestral hall, the crowd paid their respects before entering the small house behind the hall.
The runic array was under the small house, and it wasn't easy to enter. It required five Martial Lords to simultaneously activate the Profound energy in their bodies and circulate it according to a specific method in order to activate and enter.
The so-called specific method referred to the specific circulation method of the runes, just like the Runic Sand Table.
Moreover, every clan could only grasp a portion of the circulation method of the runes.
Under those restrictions, there was simply no one who could easily enter. So, normally, there wasn't a need for people to guard the place.
In his previous life, Linlong naturally came to the ancestral hall after he became powerful. However, since his strength at that time had already surpassed the Martial Master realm, he couldn't enter.
Of course, Linlong didn't regret it because he wasn't interested in comprehending martial arts inside. What he was interested in right now was the map of the Secret Realm.
After the clan leaders looked at each other, they walked in front of the wall that had its back facing the ancestral hall.
There were many black lines engraved on the wall. At first glance, those lines seemed to be some special metal.
