Chapter 739: Chapter 0739: Little Pear’s Guess

Upon hearing that the Detoxification Elixir couldn’t detoxify, Yao Buci almost fainted. He had exhausted all his True Qi to help Ma Gangjian detoxify. Now, with nine people poisoned at the same time, even if it killed him, he couldn’t possibly detoxify everyone. His reputation was now at stake.

"Everyone, everyone, please calm down."

Seeing that his master couldn’t control the situation, Yao Ming immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Actually, all of this is the doing of the Poison Sect’s people, they are the ones who poisoned you, with the purpose of making our Medicine Sect lose face."

"Impossible, we have no grievances with the Poison Sect, why would they harm us?"

The young man with a crew cut shouted immediately.

"Think about it, why didn’t other people get poisoned, only those who bought the Detoxification Elixir got poisoned? This is clearly targeting our Medicine Sect and the Detoxification Elixir."

Yao Ming shouted earnestly, and his reasoning indeed made sense.

"Elder of the Poison Sect, what exactly is going on?"

Everyone looked towards Xin Badao and Chu Batian.

"Hehe, everyone, don’t believe others’ nonsense."

Xin Badao coldly smiled and explained, "As you all saw before, people from our Medicine Sect claimed that our Poison Sect’s most potent Poison Pill, the Fierce Poison Pill, was ineffective against the Detoxification Pill. Now that these people are poisoned, even if it were the Poison Sect who did it, they couldn’t have concocted a poison more potent than the Fierce Poison Pill. This means that as long as you take the Detoxification Elixir, you should naturally be able to neutralize the poison we laid. However, since the Detoxification Elixir isn’t working, either there’s something wrong with these elixirs or the poison isn’t from us at all."

"Right! If the Detoxification Elixir can neutralize the Poison Sect’s strongest Fierce Poison Pill, how could it be the Poison Sect’s people who poisoned us? Could it be that the Detoxification Elixirs we bought are fake?"

The young man with a crew cut shouted as if suddenly realizing.

The Detoxification Elixir was able to neutralize the Poison Sect’s deadliest poison pill. The current situation couldn’t possibly be the doing of the Poison Sect’s people.

"This..."

Yao Ming was suddenly at a loss for words; earlier, to highlight the power of the Medicine Sect, he had purposely labeled the Fierce Poison Pill as the most lethal poison of the Poison Sect, not expecting it would now backfire.

"Ah, I understand what’s going on now!"

Li Xiaoli suddenly slammed the table and exclaimed excitedly.

"What’s going on?"

Everyone looked at Li Xiaoli in puzzlement.

"I... I better not say it, or I’ll cause trouble again."

Li Xiaoli quickly covered her mouth, knowing that her mouth often caused trouble, and it was better to keep quiet at this time.

"Miss, please, tell us what’s going on? I’m Liu Tianji from the Liu Family of the provincial city. If what you say makes sense and can save my father’s life, my Liu Family will definitely reward you handsomely." The young man with a crew cut looked at Li Xiaoli with hopeful eyes.

Everyone’s attention was fixed on Li Xiaoli, wanting to know what was actually going on.

"Sister Meng Ting, can I speak?"

Feeling all these eyes on her, Li Xiaoli anxiously looked towards Liu Mengting.

"Don’t ask me." Liu Mengting rolled her eyes and pointed at Tang Ming.

"Brother Tang Ming..."

Li Xiaoli looked pitifully at Tang Ming.

"Go on, I want to know what’s going on too," Tang Ming said with a smile, shrugging his shoulders. He believed that with Li Xiaoli’s character of making sensational statements, whatever she would say could be earth-shattering.

"Alright, then I’ll say it, but don’t blame me, okay?"

Li Xiaoli took a deep breath and spoke loudly, "The Medicine Sect’s Detoxification Elixir must be flawless; otherwise, it couldn’t neutralize the Poison Sect’s Fierce Poison Pill, am I right?"

"Exactly, exactly, our Medicine Sect’s Detoxification Elixir is definitely genuine."

Li Xiaoli unexpectedly started speaking up, saying something that was advantageous for Medicine Sect, causing Yao Ming to nod repeatedly.

"Miss, you make sense, but why didn’t the Detoxification Elixir work at all after my father took it?"

Liu Tianji furrowed his brows, looking at Li Xiaoli with confusion.

"You’re really clueless."

Li Xiaoli glared at Liu Tianqi and said cheerfully, "I said the Detoxification Elixir from Medicine Sect had no issues, but I didn’t say the Detoxification Elixir that you bought had no issues. If I’m not mistaken, the previous Detoxification Elixir, which was critical for someone’s survival, was the real Detoxification Elixir. That’s why it could neutralize the poison from the Fierce Poison Pill. The Detoxification Elixirs you’ve been buying later are all fake, naturally they won’t cure the poison."

"You’re talking nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Yao Ming couldn’t help but curse loudly; the accusation was damningly accurate.

"I’m just sharing my speculation, why are you acting so guilty?"

Li Xiaoli pouted her cherry lips and quickly sat down, opting to stay silent.

"Yao Ming, is what that lady said true?"

Liu Tianji stared coldly at Yao Ming and Yao Bucc.

The others also started to grow suspicious, mainly because everything that was happening closely resembled Li Xiaoli’s analysis. Unless they bought fake medicine, how could Yao Ming withstand the most potent poison from Poison Sect while they couldn’t even neutralize unknown poisons?

It’s well known that Poison Sect is proficient in refining poisons, and very few substances in the world can surpass the potency of Poison Sect’s poisons.

"Of course it’s fake; did you forget what just happened? Ma Gangjian had taken the Detoxification Elixir and he got cured, didn’t he?"

Yao Ming said defensively.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers were suddenly at a loss for words; yes, Ma Gangjian did get cured after taking the Detoxification Elixir.

"I still have something to say!"

Li Xiaoli couldn’t help but raise her hand and shout.

"You shut up!"

Yao Ming glared fiercely at Li Xiaoli, worried that if she continued, she might stir up more trouble.

"Why, feeling guilty? Scared of being talked about?"

Liu Tianji shouted angrily, gritting his teeth, "Although Medicine Sect is powerful, my Liu Family and the sects behind us are also forces to reckon with. And now, all nine families have been deceived. If we don’t get an explanation today, does Medicine Sect really want to offend us all?"

"Exactly, such arrogant life-threatening statements!"

Xin Badao slammed the table, looking at Li Xiaoli and said, "Miss Li, say whatever you want to say; I want to see who dares to be disrespectful to you. I’ll flay him alive."

"Yes, miss, you just say what you need to, all nine major families are backing you up."

Liu Tianji also immediately assured loudly.

Seeing this situation, Yao Ming dared not disrespect Li Xiaoli any longer.

"I don’t know if what I’m saying is right, but did you all forget that Ma Gangjian was cured because he took the second Detoxification Elixir?"

Li Xiaoli weakly started her question.

"You mean, the second Detoxification Elixir is the same as the one Yao Ming took, and that’s the real Detoxification Elixir."

Liu Tianji suddenly understood, and others nodded repeatedly.

"I was just making a wild guess; please continue, don’t mind me,"

Li Xiaoli nodded and then quickly sat down without making another sound.
