After ten whole days, when the Poison Order brought the last load of poisonous insects to the foot of the mountain, many people had already gathered around to watch the show.
The disciples of the Poison Order were in high spirits. Compared to when they had first arrived at the mountain, they were in much better spirits.
On the other hand, the Medicine Order had forced themselves to keep up appearances. However, when they saw the members of the Poison Order, they could not help but feel angry.
The two sects were at each other's throats, evenly matched.
However, Lin Mengya's gaze fell upon the six people at the center of the Medicine Order.
It looks like they were the inner disciples of the Medicine Order that the disciples had mentioned earlier.
Compared to the downfall of the Poison Order and the rise of the aristocratic families, the Medicine Order had a strict hierarchy.
The true Medicine Order was huge and mysterious. Even an outer disciple had to go through a strict selection process before he or she could become one.
However, the true core of the Medicine Order was the inner sect.
Below the inner and outer sects were the aristocratic families that were attached to the Medicine Order.
Take the Baili family for example. Even though they could call the wind and summon the rain in Wei Country, they still had to bow down to the Medicine Order.
However, she had her doubts about this.
From the information that she had gathered, no matter how weak the Baili family was, they should not be so submissive to the Medicine Order.
After all, the power of the Ten Great Aristocratic Families had long surpassed that of the average family.
Why would the Baili family willingly serve as a pawn?
Just as she was pondering over this, the members of the Ruling Council arrived.
In front of the crowd, they weighed the items that the two sects had brought today and added today's numbers on a notice board.
Everyone could see that in terms of weight, Poison Sect had obtained victory with an overwhelming advantage.
The expressions on the faces of those who had come to support the Medicine Order were very subtle.
Perhaps it was because the Medicine Order had been deified over the past few years, so these people could not accept any failure from the Medicine Order.
The collapse of faith probably started from disappointment.
Lin Mengya smiled and shook her head. The inner disciples of the Medicine Order had been one step behind from the very beginning.
However, Shen Bingqing and the others did not think so.
Ever since they could understand things, they had always felt that the Medicine Order was above them and everyone else could only grovel at their feet.
Therefore, the disappointment of those people was never within their consideration.
Shen Bingqing immediately spotted the most beautiful girl in the crowd.
Even he had no choice but to admit that in terms of appearance, that woman was already at the top of the world.
That purple dress was a perfect match for her. Even if it was someone else, they wouldn't be able to bring out the luxurious beauty of purple to the extreme.
Only her. Only her. Only her.
"Senior Brother Shen, who are you looking at?"
Cao Yue looked a little hesitant.
She followed Chen Bingqing's gaze and saw Lin Mengya.
But more than that, she was jealous. She was jealous that she could get Chen Bingqing's attention. That was an honor that she could never get no matter what.
"She must be the sect master of the Poison Sect."
Shen Bingqing retracted her gaze.
To him, a woman was no different from a flower or a blade of grass on the roadside.
Cao Yue heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.
It turned out that because they were enemies, Senior Martial Brother Shen looked at her a few more times.
"Indeed. I didn't expect the Sect Master of Poison Sect to be so young and beautiful. I wonder how she managed to become the Sect Master. "
These words were indeed a little harsh.
Chen Bingqing glanced at Cao Yue and did not say another word.
On the other side, Lin Mengya had long noticed the unfriendly gazes directed at her.
Heh, let's just wait and see. Otherwise, when I lose to her in the future, I won't even know who my enemy is.
The person in charge of the Ruling Association took a look at the numbers and a gong sounded from the side.
"Time's up! The final victor is the Poison Sect! "
The unquestionable victory did not cause much of a stir in the hearts of the two sects.
On the contrary, the onlookers were all shocked.
"How could this be? How could the Medicine Sect possibly win? "
"I must be seeing things. Yes, that must be it!"
Regardless of what the crowd was saying, the result was already clear for all to see.
The person in charge of the Ruling Association looked at the excited spectators and reached out his hand to silence them.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. The competition is not over yet."
He cupped his hands towards the two sides and said, "It's stated in the rules of the competition that catching the poisonous insects is only one of the objectives. The second objective is to completely eradicate the hidden dangers here. If that's not possible, we should at least have preventive measures and understand the ins and outs of the situation. May I ask if the two sects have any ideas? "
This time, the Medicine Order spoke before the Poison Sect could, "Of course we have. Our senior brothers in the inner sect are much stronger than those ignorant and incompetent people!"
These words were directed at the Poison Sect.
However, the people here were not to be trifled with either.
Ruan Ying crossed her arms and replied disdainfully, "Of course those in the inner sect are stronger than you people. At least you know your place. If you know that you're ignorant and incompetent, then don't come out and embarrass yourself. "
"Stupid girl, what are you talking about?"
The Medicine Order flew into a rage but Ruan Ying remained calm. She widened her large, innocent eyes and said to the other party, "Based on what you're saying, you think that you're more powerful than the inner sect disciples!"
The other party immediately denied it.
"How can I be compared to my senior brothers!"
"That's why you're ignorant and incompetent, unlike the Poison Sect. Everyone is as powerful as them."
"You …"
Ruan Ying, who had received Lin Mengya's direct disciple, was comparable to ten of them.
Chen Bingqing did not want to see her sect's disciples embarrass themselves anymore. She said in a low voice, "Alright, let's not bother with them."
The outer sect disciples immediately retreated, not daring to disobey.
Lin Mengya nodded at Ruan Ying. The little girl smiled and retreated, hiding behind her master.
Compared to the arrogant outer sect disciples, Chen Bingqing's group was much more shrewd.
He bowed at the person in charge and said, "We've made some progress in this matter. In less than five days, the problem here will be completely solved."
The person in charge was very satisfied and nodded repeatedly.
"Speaking of which, the poison problem here is really troublesome. If Young Master Chen can help everyone get rid of the problem, that would be great news. "
As a local, he naturally wanted to benefit the people more.
Then, he looked at Lin Mengya.
"I wonder what you think, Master Gong."
"I also need five days. However, not only do I want to solve this problem once and for all, I can also let the people here rely on these things to eat."
She pointed at the poisonous bugs.
For a moment, both the person in charge and the people around them were stunned.
What … What did she mean?
Lin Mengya continued, "Perhaps in everyone's eyes, these poisonous bugs are a scourge.
These poisonous insects are a scourge that can harm people and livestock. However, to doctors, these things are good medicine that is hard to come by. If everyone can come and catch these things without worrying about getting hurt, wouldn't they become money? "
What she said struck a chord in everyone's hearts.
If these things could be exchanged for money and did not cause them fatal harm, so what if they covered the entire mountain?
In the end, they would still be turned into money and put into their pockets.
Therefore, compared to Chen Bingqing's solution, her solution was actually more effective.
The person in charge rubbed his eyes and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Of course. We, the Poison Sect, are experts in this field. If we say it can work, it will definitely work."
All of a sudden, the citizens had a slightly different view of Poison Sect.
Yes, the Poison Sect might harm everyone.
However, at the same time, they were more professional in dealing with such a problem.
Besides, it's not like the forest did not have creatures like scorpions and spiders in the past. It's just that this time, the poison was much more potent and had interfered with their daily lives.
The Medicine Order's solution was good but it could only save their lives.
However, the Poison Sect was different. They could ensure that the people had enough to eat and wear and this was closely related to their basic necessities.
Immediately, everyone's enthusiasm towards the Poison Sect's proposal rose to unprecedented heights.
Even the person in charge could not help but ask curiously, "May I ask, Master Gong, how can we achieve this?"
She smiled and placed her slender index finger by her lips.
"Shh, this is a secret."
Everyone's attention was drawn to her.
Meanwhile, the big medicine merchants who had been invited began to make plans in their hearts.
The quality of the poisonous creatures here was different from the ones outside.
Furthermore, poisonous creatures like these were things that they could only come across by chance.
Hearing what she said, those people's thoughts also started to move.
Seeing how the Poison Sect had gained the upper hand, the people of the Medicine Order were so angry that their hearts ached.
Cao Yue stomped her foot and pouted coquettishly, "The Poison Sect is indeed the Poison Sect. Even their Master is so cunning. How hateful!"
Chen Bingqing ignored her and narrowed her eyes. Her gaze darkened as she glanced at Lin Mengya.
The Poison Sect was indeed not easy to deal with.
"Since that's the case, I won't waste any more of your time. Five days later, we'll meet here again. Please honor your promise. "
The person in charge spoke with perfect articulation. The Poison Sect and the Medicine Order responded in unison. The second half of the competition had officially begun.
This time, the Poison Sect was the first to enter the forest.
However, she did not go too far. Not long after, someone caught up with her.
"Master Gong, please wait!"
Next to her, Baisu and Cai Ru looked at each other. The latter nodded at Baisu and turned around with a smile, "Sir, what urgent matter do you have with our Master?"
Du Yangfeng smiled and joined his fists at her, "As expected of the people by Master Gong's side. Every one of you is smart and quick-witted. I'm indeed here to discuss some keys with Master Gong. Please help me pass the message to him, Sister. "
Some people are amorous but not vulgar. No matter what they say, there is a limit to what they can say. They won't easily make others like them but they won't easily make others hate them either.
It was obvious that Du Yangfeng was such a person.
The way he addressed her as' Sister 'in such an indifferent manner that Cai Ru did not feel any disgust towards him.
"Sir, you can just call me Cai Ru. Unfortunately, our Master has been on the move for the past few days and should be resting. He won't be seeing any guests for the time being."
