"Dad, that's not a good joke. There are no immortals in this world," Ling Xiaoxiao immediately retorted. "Those are all mythical novels. Whether the things that I come up with are good or not doesn't exist at all."
"No!" Ling Zhen shook his head and said, "You didn't hear me clearly. Of course, I know that they aren't real immortals. However, they possess great power. To us ordinary people, they're probably no different from immortals."
"What power?" Ling Xiaoxiao was curious.
"Telekinesis, flying in the air, smashing a huge rock with one punch, and even reversing the flow of a river!" Ling Zhen seemed to recall something and couldn't help but shudder.
"Telekinesis, flying in the air, smashing a huge rock with one punch, and even reversing the flow of a river!" Ling Xiaoxiao and the voluptuous woman were both shocked.
"Yes, the power that those people possess is beyond your imagination!" Ling Zhen laughed bitterly. "The laws of the world may have some restrictions on them, but it's definitely not much. If they want to kill you, it's as easy as lifting a hand. Furthermore, even if they kill you, no one will find trouble with them. Instead, people will continuously work for them to send you into the abyss so that you'll never be able to get up again!"
Ling Zhen had a deep understanding of this point.
One of his good friends had unintentionally offended a cultivator because of his offensive words. As a result, his family was ruined in less than a month. Moreover, that good friend of his was above him in terms of wealth and status. It was said that he had a very special relationship with several core big shots in Lingnan. However, his ending was still the same and did not change at all.
"I don't believe it!" Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head, indicating that she didn't believe it.
She had received a proper education since she was young. She didn't believe in these fantasies at all.
"I didn't want you to believe it because it's better for you to know these things. Otherwise … "Ling Zhen shook his head.
He had interacted with the cultivation world many times. He knew that it was a world filled with killing. If ordinary people were accidentally dragged into it … They would most likely be torn to pieces.
If possible, they would try their best to avoid contact. Ordinary people could live their lives peacefully. They wouldn't have to worry about anything in their lives. They just had to live a normal life.
Ling Xiaoxiao didn't say anything else. However, she couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in her eyes.
Ling Zhen didn't say anything else. He looked at the pill on the table and fell into deep thought.
Now he was 80% sure that Xiao Fan was a cultivator, but even if he was a cultivator, would this pill be effective?
One had to know that it wasn't that he hadn't looked for some cultivators over the years, but they all said that they were powerless because they said that cultivation was only to increase their own strength. As for the art of healing, it was not within the scope of their abilities.
Of course, this was not absolute. They could not rule out the possibility that some cultivators were proficient in this path, but most cultivators were not.
"Perhaps, this Xiao Fan is really a cultivator who is proficient in medicine. His pill might really be able to cure my heart disease." Ling Zhen's heart began to thump uncontrollably.
Faced with the hope of survival, no one could remain calm.
"Why don't we give it a try?"
Ling Zhen made up his mind.
He picked up the pill, opened his mouth and swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill into his stomach.
At this moment, Ling Xiaoxiao finally reacted. She hurriedly said, "Dad. You! "
After swallowing the pill, Ling Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Alright, since we've bought it, we might as well give it a try. But if there's any problem, I'll definitely look for Xiao Fan and ask for an explanation. "Ling Xiaoxiao clenched her fist and said.
"It's best if you don't go." Ling Zhen felt a headache coming.
When it came to finding trouble with cultivators, other people would probably avoid it as soon as possible. In the end, his silly daughter actually wanted to find trouble with them. She really didn't know how the word 'death' was written.
"You silly daughter, you …" Ling Zhen shook his head and said helplessly. But suddenly, his expression changed.
"Dad! Dad, what's wrong? "Ling Xiaoxiao panicked.
"My stomach hurts." Ling Zhen held his stomach. He was in great pain.
"Bastard, that Xiao Fan really lied to me. I'll call Doctor Chen now! "Ling Xiaoxiao said angrily. Then, she immediately picked up the phone and dialed Ling Zhen's personal doctor's number.
"I …" Ling Zhen wanted to say something, but his stomach hurt so badly that he couldn't speak. Then, without another word, he got up and ran to the toilet.
"Dad, you …"
Ling Xiaoxiao, who was on the phone, shouted in shock when she saw Ling Zhen in such a state.
Ling Zhen didn't answer. Instead, he ran into the toilet and slammed the door shut.
"Alright, Doctor Chen. Come over right away. Okay, that's all. Goodbye." Ling Xiaoxiao hung up the phone after saying that.
"Dad, are you okay?" Ling Xiaoxiao rushed to the toilet.
"I'm fine," Ling Zhen said painfully. Then, a series of puffing sounds were heard. Then, a stench filled the air.
Ling Xiaoxiao, who was at the door, almost fainted when she smelled the stench. She quickly covered her nose and retreated.
"Xiaoxiao, that Xiao Fan seemed to have said that Second Uncle would go to the toilet after taking the pill. You seem to have forgotten to mention it," the plump woman whispered to Ling Xiaoxiao.
"Ah!" Ling Xiaoxiao finally remembered. She was dumbfounded.
Nine Leaf Tower, 33rd floor
"You all believed this woman and not me!" The short old man immediately jumped up and pointed at the woman across the table, "It's all her fault! If it wasn't for her bewitching words, the four of us wouldn't have killed that Xiao Fan. Our Ling Medicine Sect wouldn't have suffered such a loss!"
"Yes, I did say that, but I only told you the cause of death." Yin Yi Yu's face was still covered with a veil, "As for everything that happened afterwards, it's all your own initiative. It has nothing to do with me."
"Then isn't that the same as using our Medicine Sect as a pawn?" The short elder cries out. Turning to the rest of the elders present, "Everyone, you must never trust this witch again, otherwise you won't even know you've been sold out by her!"
"Medicine Madman, perhaps you should explain why that Xiao Fan let you come back alone." Yin Yi Yu said in a soft voice.
"How many times have I said it, I am!" The short old man jumped up again and shouted.
"That's enough," one of the elders at the head of the table suddenly interrupts the short elder's words. Turning to Yin Yi Yu, "Miss Yin, I won't pursue the matter of you scheming against our Medicine Sect, but please leave on your own."
"As for you, Medicine Madman, you still have not been cleared of suspicion. You will still be monitored."
"Yes, I'm not afraid of a crooked shadow." The short old man immediately said.
"Please, Miss Yin." The elder at the head of the table said in a soft voice.
"Okay." Yin Yi Yu looked at everyone and finally looked at the short old man. She looked at him deeply and didn't say anything. Then, she turned and left.
Seeing the woman leaving, the elder at the head of the table said: "Although this matter was schemed against by the Yin House, but Xiao Fan killing Tian Xie, Tian Feng and the other two is an indisputable fact. So, be prepared, Xiao Fan must die."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
