"Our Huangfu Clan has no enmity with your merchant guild. Why would we deliberately harm your Gold House? Moreover, we're sacrificing our honorable third miss as the price.
"Since you want to examine the pill, I'll give it to you. I hope that Vice President Tong Huan can examine it carefully in front of the surrounding cultivators to see if there's any poison in the pill.
"I have more than one pill in my possession. For the sake of fairness and accuracy, I hope that there are fellow immortals skilled in pill refinement and medicine who can help us examine the pill.
"As long as this person is able to accurately name the poison, Huangfu Clan will reward him with a mid-earth rank immortal weapon."
The old woman, who was the Huangfu Jing the old man spoke of, had a rather tough tone. As she spoke, she took out a small bottle and poured out two Immortal Pills. Under her control, one flew to the old man, while the other was held in her hand, waiting for someone to examine it for her.
Although she was a peerless immortal, she wasn't skilled in pill refinement or medicine. Therefore, she hadn't discovered any poison in the pill during her examination.
However, she was certain that these pills were definitely poisonous because the woman called Huangfu Qing had been poisoned after consuming these pills.
They'd purchased the pills from the Gold House not long ago and hadn't left the city when they'd taken them. Therefore, she'd brought the woman back immediately to demand an explanation.
She'd sent a transmission back to inform the Huangfu Clan's patriarch of the situation. After all, the Gold House was a first-tier faction just like Huangfu Clan. If the Gold House didn't admit to anything, a great battle would be unavoidable.
"This junior knows a little about pill refinement and is willing to help Senior Huangfu examine the pill."
"Although my medical skills aren't as good as Miss Lu's, I can still do my part for Senior Huangfu."
"This junior is an intermediate immortal pill refinement master. I'm willing to help Senior Huangfu examine the pill."
… …
After Huangfu Jing finished speaking, several cultivators immediately stepped forward, expressing their willingness to help Huangfu Jing examine the immortal pill.
"Alright, as long as you can identify the specific poison in the pill, I'll reward you handsomely."
Huangfu Jing nodded and said.
Under her control, the immortal pill in her hand flew directly in front of those cultivators. After one of them grabbed it, they gathered together and began to examine it carefully.
"If the elixirs of the Money House are really poisonous, how can these cultivators detect it with their poor eyesight and level? It's not that easy to get a middle-grade Earth-rank fairy weapon."
Luo Ping shook his head and sneered in his heart.
As an A-grade chamber of commerce, if the pills refined by the Gold Coin House were truly poisonous, the Celestial Alchemists of the chamber of commerce would have kept the amount of poison to an extremely small extent or added other ingredients that could neutralize or conceal the poison. It was impossible for ordinary Celestial Alchemists to detect it.
Moreover, these cultivators' cultivation bases were relatively low, and their alchemy and medical skills were not that great. The only reason they were willing to help Huangfu Jing examine the elixirs was because of the middle-grade Earth-rank fairy weapon that Huangfu Jing had promised them.
Upon seeing this, Luo Ping did not intend to continue watching. He was about to ask Yuan Tianxing and Chen Xiuxiu to leave when a voice called out to him.
"Eh? Fellow Immortal Luo, why are you here?"
"I'm sorry, I was too focused on helping Sister Jin suppress the poison in her body.
I didn't see you here, "said the woman who was helping Huangfu Jin suppress the poison in her body.
"I just happened to pass by. I didn't intend to disturb Fellow Immortal Lu. After all, it's more important for you to treat the wounded and dying."
"Since Fellow Immortal Lu still has matters to attend to, I'll take my leave first."
After bidding farewell to the other party, Luo Ping got up and prepared to leave. On one hand, he did not want to cause trouble. On the other hand, Yuan Tianxing had attracted the attention of the other three major chambers of commerce because he was being hunted down by the Immortal Treasure Tower. It was hard to guarantee that these people from the Money House would not recognize Yuan Tianxing.
The woman who greeted Luo Ping was Lu Yu, who had interacted with Luo Ping before.
"Fellow Immortal Luo, please wait a moment."
Lu Yu hurriedly said when she saw that Luo Ping was about to leave.
As she spoke, she had already run to where Luo Ping was. The crowd of onlookers automatically opened up a path, wanting to see what Lu Yu was doing.
After all, many people knew Lu Yu's identity. As the third-generation successor of the Lu Clan, an A-class family, in addition to inheriting the Lu Clan's brilliant medical skills, she was also extremely beautiful and was favored by many men.
However, Lu Yu had always been concentrating on the Dao of Medicine. She was dismissive of those men who pursued her. Very few people could enter her eyes.
But now, Lu Yu actually took the initiative to greet a man. This naturally surprised many cultivators. They wanted to see where Luo Ping came from and what was so special about him.
"Is there anything else, Fellow Immortal Lu?"
Luo Ping asked with some displeasure.
Lu Yu saw the change in Luo Ping's expression. She bit her red lips and hesitated for a moment. Then, she looked firmly at Luo Ping.
"I've heard that Fellow Immortal Luo is very accomplished in the art of alchemy. At this moment, Sister Rong has a strange poison in her body. I can't find out what kind of poison it is. Although I temporarily suppressed the poison with the help of acupuncture, the poison will inevitably spread over time."
"The most important thing now is to find out what kind of poison is in Sister Rong's body as soon as possible. Only then can I prescribe the right medicine and detoxify the poison."
"I hope Fellow Immortal Luo can lend a helping hand and help me check whether there is any poison in this Immortal Elixir. If there is, what kind of poison it is."
Lu Yu straightforwardly stated her purpose, which made Luo Ping's face darken.
"Fellow Immortal Lu, you think too highly of me. My alchemy skills are not worth mentioning at all. With so many alchemy masters here, I believe that they will definitely be able to help Fellow Immortal Lu check the situation of the immortal pills."
"I do have something important to do. I'll take my leave first."
Luo Ping also directly rejected the other party's request. After all, they were only acquaintances and he did not know Huangfu Rong. There was no need for him to waste time for the other party.
Not to mention that his alchemy skills were only average, even if he could really detect the poison in the Immortal Elixir, he would not stay to help the other party. In that case, he would offend the Money House.
Luo Ping was not a fool. How could he make such a decision to offend a Class A force for an unrelated person?
After Luo Ping finished speaking, he glanced at Yuan Tianxing and Chen Xiuxiu. The three of them were about to leave at the same time when a voice rang out.
"Haha, Miss Lu must have been deceived. He's just a Level-Nine Mystic Immortal. No matter how high his alchemy skills are, how high can he be? Even if he's talented, he's at most an intermediate Immortal Alchemist."
"This level is worse than these people in front of us. I think you'd better not waste your time. Although Miss Lu and Miss Huangfu have a good relationship, you can't indiscriminately accuse our Chamber of Commerce's immortal pills of being poisoned, right?"
Tong Huan, the Vice President of the Money House, said after inspecting the Immortal Elixir. His tone was full of disdain for Luo Ping. After all, Luo Ping's cultivation level was not high. Even if he was talented in alchemy, he was at most an intermediate Immortal Alchemist.
Although the people who helped Huangfu Jing inspect the Immortal Elixir were not skilled in alchemy, their cultivation levels were at the Golden Immortal Realm. They were much stronger than Luo Ping.
Due to Lu Yu's special identity, Tong Huan did not want her to interfere in this matter. On the surface, he was reminding Lu Yu that she had been deceived. In fact, he was warning Lu Yu not to meddle in other people's business.
"Tsk, so he's a liar. I thought he was really extraordinary in alchemy."
"That's right. A liar like him would only deceive innocent female cultivators. I guess the woman next to him was also deceived by him."
"Since she's with such a liar, that woman must not be a good person. This is the so-called jackals of the same lair."
After Vice President Tong Huan finished speaking, the onlookers looked at the backs of Luo Ping and the other two as they left and began to discuss with disdain.
The cultivation levels of these people were basically at the Golden Immortal Realm. As for those whose cultivation levels were lower than Luo Ping's, they just showed a disdainful expression and did not speak.
"You're courting death."
Just as the crowd was discussing, Luo Ping, who had walked dozens of steps away, suddenly shouted angrily. This stunned the people behind him.
They did not expect that Luo Ping, who was only at the Level Nine Mystic Immortal Realm, would dare to talk to them so presumptuously. For a moment, many Golden Immortals were about to attack and teach Luo Ping a lesson.
However, the next scene made these people who were about to attack stand stiffly on the spot. They stared dumbfoundedly at the spot beside them, not saying a word or gasping for breath.
"He … he … he died just like that?"
"A Level Three Golden Immortal did not have the slightest strength to fight back. How can this kid's combat strength be so terrifying?"
"Too … too fast. I didn't even notice his movement trajectory."
Some Golden Immortals were in disbelief. They looked at the so-called 'liar' next to them with fear.
"This kid has some skills. He killed a Level Three Golden Immortal effortlessly across three levels. What's more, it was a Level Three Golden Immortal."
"Could it be that this kid is also a disciple of some first-grade force? How come I've never heard of this person? "
Vice President Tong Huan narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Ping's figure, puzzled.
Almost everyone, including Lu Yu and Huangfu Jing, was shocked by Luo Ping's attack. After all, it was not easy for a Level Nine Mystic Immortal to kill a Level Three Golden Immortal in an instant.
Luo Ping saw the changes in everyone's expressions. Although he did not want to attract their attention and shock, he had no choice but to kill the Level Three Golden Immortal who insulted Chen Xiuxiu.
It could be said that Chen Xiuxiu was Luo Ping's reverse scale. He would not allow anyone to hurt Chen Xiuxiu, and of course, he would not allow anyone to insult Chen Xiuxiu.
