After a long time, the Caucasian woman opened her eyes and seemed to be saying something in a low voice.
After she finished speaking, one of the two Caucasian men beside her, the older middle-aged man, revealed a ferocious expression after hearing what she said. Then, he revealed a look of satisfaction.
Then, he said a few words to the younger Caucasian man, and the two of them began to argue intensely. They only stopped when the woman intervened.
However, although the two Caucasian men were arguing intensely, not a single sound could be heard.
After a while, the group of people quietly left the cliff, as if they had never been there.
However, after they left, a cloud of green smoke began to appear where they were originally at. It spread towards the bottom of the valley and quickly blended into the air. It was silent, colorless, and odorless.
…
Monastery Master Ma was sitting on the rostrum, bored as he listened to Vigilante A bragging beside him.
At this time, there was a Chinese herb floating in front of Vigilante A. Its stem was green and translucent, and there were seven-colored flowers growing between its leaves. He said seriously, "Everyone, this is a herb called Seven XX Purple. It is not an ordinary herb, and its effects are extraordinary. It can stop coughing, relieve asthma …"
Unlike the bored Priest Ma, the others were all focused and listening to Vigilante A's bragging. There were already many buyers who were ready to place their orders.
Now, the main topic of the Harvesting Ceremony was the medicinal herb review segment.
At this moment, the Chinese herbs were being picked by beautiful staff members while they were fresh and placed into baskets.
In the center of the venue, the green stone platform had been rearranged. There was a long sandalwood table, and behind the table was a row of armchairs.
Vigilante A, Priest Ma, and a few other legendary Miracle Doctors were sitting on the armchairs. Qi Yan was also there. As a woman and the youngest, none of the rich and famous people below the stage were dissatisfied. It was obvious that her reputation had long spread in this circle.
Now, it was these people who were the judges. Every time a medicinal herb was placed on the stage, they would review it one by one and talk about its effects and side effects.
Of course, among the many judges, everyone recognized Vigilante A the most. After all, his real background was too high, almost like a deity. Whatever he said, the others would go along with it. For every one of his merits, the others would elaborate on it.
Master Ma was different from others. His Mount Indigo Monastery was also an associate unit of the Truth Department. Although its rating was not as high as Vigilante A's "Harmony Powers Ltd.", and for some reason, its rating had recently dropped by a notch, it still had the authority to purchase some normal vitality herbs from the internal market.
He had seen the herbs produced by the Truth Department, so naturally, he would not be interested in the herbs produced by this mysterious valley.
Of course, he could tell how good these herbs were. Although Vigilante A's boasting was a little exaggerated at times, it could not be considered a lie.
After all, the medicinal herbs produced here were at least ten times more potent than normal herbs. However, compared to the ones sold by the Truth Department, it was at least ten times more potent.
But his purpose in coming here was to make friends with more high officials and nobles, improve his network, win over high-end believers, and look for sponsors. He was not here to cause trouble. He still owed Vigilante A a favor, so he would not engage in an unnecessary conflict with the other party and let others watch the show.
Therefore, when it was his turn, he nodded and smiled. He only said that the Venerable Dragon God was knowledgeable and that his comments were accurate, and that the old Taoist was blind, so he did not comment further.
After a dozen rounds, everyone started to take a break.
The System said to Fang Ning, "That Master Ma is not bad. I exaggerated a few parts, so I thought he would point it out. I didn't expect him to not say a word."
Fang Ning was speechless, "Old Man Ma is a sly old man. Do you think he would be an idiot like you? There's no benefit for him to offend us, so he wouldn't do something like that. "
As the two of them talked, Master Ma, who was talking to the judges, suddenly stood up and hurriedly found Fatso Liu, who was hosting the ceremony, and whispered something to him.
Fang Ning, with the hearing that Sir System gave him, could hear clearly that Master Ma was saying, "Chairman Liu, there's a situation. It seems like someone poisoned us. The poison in the air is not strong, so we can still make it if we evacuate now. "
The System said, "What poison? Didn't you just praise him for not tearing us down? Why is he doing this again? "
Fang Ning thought about what happened earlier and was shocked, "He said someone poisoned us. With his identity, he wouldn't lie for no reason. Why didn't you warn us?"
The System said, "I didn't feel any danger, why warn me?"
Fang Ning was puzzled for a moment, but he suddenly understood, "F * ck, you have the Poison Prevention Orb, so of course you wouldn't feel any danger. Master Ma is a Pond-level powerhouse like you, so it's normal for him to feel it. "
As Fang Ning said this, a surge of anger rose in him.
There were a lot of people he knew and was close to, such as President Zhao, Fatso Liu, and some people from the Chamber of Commerce. Fang Ning also knew them with his real identity.
He thought that the other party's target was Vigilante A, or that they wanted to ambush him or something. Who knew that the other party would use a method of indiscriminate harm like poison!
The person who poisoned them was as evil as the Insect Demon, completely disregarding the lives of innocent people. It was unforgivable.
If it wasn't for Master Ma, he and the System would have to wait until someone fell to the ground before they realized that someone was poisoning them!
Fang Ning held back his anger and asked the System, "Do you have a solution now?"
The System said, "That's easy. I can use the skill 'Detoxify' on the equipment to get rid of the poison."
Fang Ning was relieved. He was anxious and forgot that the Legendary Equipment 'Poison Prevention Orb' had an active skill 'Detoxify'.
He heard the System Notification: [The System used the Legendary Equipment 'Poison Prevention Orb' and activated the skill 'Detoxify'. The poison in the air has dissipated.]
Fatso Liu heard Master Ma's warning, but he didn't immediately organize the evacuation. Instead, he went to find Vigilante A.
Vigilante A waved his hand and said, "I know what happened. There was indeed someone who poisoned us, but it was dispelled by my Innate Supernatural Power. There's no need to panic."
Fatso Liu calmed down and looked at Master Ma.
Master Ma frowned at first, but he sensed carefully. His expression relaxed and he said with admiration, "Hero, you are a True Dragon and can ward off all evil. Such a powerful poison could be dispelled with a snap of your fingers. With the True Dragon here, I was just worrying for nothing."
The System said, "He said we can ward off evil, but I don't think it's a good thing."
Fang Ning was speechless, "Don't be so calculative. Give me my body, I need to thank him properly."
After Fang Ning took back his body, he thanked Master Ma, "I'm not sensitive to the poisons of the mortal world. This time, thanks to Master Ma's warning, we were able to avoid a disaster. President Liu, after the ceremony, we need to thank Master Ma for his kindness. "
Master Ma was originally angry that President Liu didn't trust him, but now that he saw the Venerable Dragon God's sincerity, his feelings disappeared.
He smiled and said, "You're too kind. I'm a monk, and I'm compassionate. This is my duty, I don't deserve such praise from the True Dragon."
Fang Ning said, "The evildoers might still be hiding nearby. Master Ma, please stay here and help me look after these ordinary people. I'm going to search around."
Master Ma tidied his beard and laughed, "Hero, you can go after those evildoers. With me around, I'll definitely keep everyone safe."
He thought to himself, 'With this, I've done a good deed and gained fame and fortune. I don't even have to bear the biggest risk. This trip was really worth it. It looks like I'll have to interact more with the Venerable Dragon God in the future.'
Fang Ning said to the System, "There was no red on the System Map just now, or else you would've noticed it. Looks like those people are the same as the Elder Ancestor Bai, they have some kind of hiding technique. You need to look around."
The System said, "You don't have to tell me, but it seems like your strategy of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger is working. These people are continuously stirring up trouble in front of us."
Fang Ning said, "Maybe, but I feel like these people are trying to use poison to lure us out. They're really ruthless. They're reminding us that if we don't come out, then the ordinary people will suffer. If we call Master Ma, then the ordinary people will have no one to protect them. They're forcing us to go out and fight them alone. Looks like they've studied Vigilante A thoroughly, but they'll never think that Vigilante A isn't alone. "
The System said, "That's because I'm not a human."
