Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Are You Gao Zhao Hai’s Disciple?

Low-level Healing Potion was poured by Jing Yan onto the wounds of the dark-faced Martial Artist.

The dark-faced Martial Artist struggled, but under Jing Yan’s control, his struggles were feeble and he couldn’t break free.

The wound healed rapidly, visible to the naked eye.

In this world, almost all Healing Potions can be taken orally or applied externally.

For non-fatal external injuries, Martial Artists usually opt for external application for quicker effects.

“This…”

“These effects are terrifying, aren’t they?

Even an Intermediate Healing Potion might not have this effect; it’s debatable!”

“The medicine from Splendid Pill Tower really is good stuff.

This potion, priced at just three Spirit Stones per bottle, is too worthwhile.”

“…”

Witnessing the effects of the medicine firsthand is truly the most shocking.

No matter how eloquently spoken, nothing can match the impact of seeing the effects with one’s own eyes.

Just a few days ago, although many people touted the effectiveness of the Splendid Pill Tower’s medicine, even those with a certain reputation promoting it, most Martial Artists would still harbor some doubts.

But now, having seen the effects of the medicine with their own eyes, any lingering doubts naturally disappeared.

In less than ten breaths’ time, the wound of the dark-faced Martial Artist had completely healed.

The blood that had flowed out had also dried up.

All that was needed was to wash it with clean water, leaving only a faint scar.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the effect of the low-level Healing Potion from my Splendid Pill Tower, as you all can see!”

“Now, if anyone has purchased medicine from my Splendid Pill Tower and wants to return it, they can absolutely do so.

As long as it is confirmed to be our Splendid Pill Tower’s medicine, we will accept returns unconditionally!” Jing Yan said with a smile to the Martial Artists surrounding him.

“Regarding the medicine brought out by a few individuals here, the bottles are from my Splendid Pill Tower.

However, the medicine inside the bottles is clearly not from my Splendid Pill Tower.”

“There are people who want to cause trouble for my Splendid Pill Tower!

They want to tarnish the reputation of my Splendid Pill Tower!

Such behavior is utterly despicable and contemptible!”

“Everyone knows that my Splendid Pill Tower’s medicines are effective and the business is good.

Therefore, some people are jealous.

They feel that the presence of Splendid Pill Tower has affected their business, so out of envy and jealousy, they hire riff-raff to create disturbances!”

“Patriarch Zhao, isn’t that right?

Patriarch Zhao, what kind of person would do such a despicable thing?” Finally, Jing Yan’s gaze turned towards Zhao Dangyuan.

“This…” Zhao Dangyuan’s face suddenly showed an awkward expression.

His eyes involuntarily glanced at Pill Master Cang Yu not far away.

But at this moment, Cang Yu dared not show his face; he felt Zhao Dangyuan’s gaze but pretended not to notice.

Seeing Zhao Dangyuan’s constipated expression, Jing Yan sneered.

“I’ll give you a few one more chance.

If you are willing to tell who sent you to cause trouble at Splendid Pill Tower, I will let you go.

Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude,” Jing Yan said, his gaze shifting towards the dark-faced Martial Artist and his companions.

The dark-faced Martial Artist and his companions had already completely lost their earlier bravado.

Their gazes turned towards Zhao Dangyuan and others, clearly seeking help.

Jing Yan was no ordinary person; behind him stood not only the Jing Family but also the powerful City Lord.

They had come to make trouble at Jing Yan’s Splendid Pill Tower, and now being caught red-handed, even if Jing Yan killed them outright, there would be absolutely no problem.

From Jing Yan’s attitude, if they could not give him a satisfactory explanation, he really would kill them.

Thinking that their own lives were at stake, the dark-faced Martial Artist and his companions could no longer keep their composure or muster any defiance.

They huddled together, trembling, all looking at Zhao Dangyuan.

In their view, now only Zhao Dangyuan could save them.

If Zhao Dangyuan didn’t take action, then they had to reveal that the Zhao Family was behind this to save themselves.

“I give you three breaths’ time!”

“If you still won’t speak, then you will no longer have the chance to.

By then, it will be too late to say anything.” Jing Yan’s expression turned cold, a chill enveloping the dark-faced Martial Artist and his companions.

Primordial Energy also began to flow gently.

The dark-faced Martial Artist and others certainly felt Jing Yan’s killing intent.

If they still didn’t speak, they would end up dead on the streets.

They certainly did not want to die.

The dark-faced Martial Artist opened his mouth wanting to speak.

“Hmph, such scum deserves to be executed!”

Just then, Zhao Dangyuan made a motion with his Palm Seal, and a burst of Primordial Power instantly enveloped the dark-faced Martial Artist.

“Bang bang!”

Several muffled sounds were heard, and the dark-faced Martial Artist and his companions were all directly killed by Zhao Dangyuan.

Jing Yan furrowed his brows, looking at Zhao Dangyuan.

“Patriarch Zhao, what is the meaning of this?” Jing Yan asked, his breath fluctuating.

He hadn’t expected Zhao Dangyuan to take such decisive action in killing the dark-faced Martial Artists and others.

Zhao Dangyuan, a powerhouse in the Dao Spirit Realm, had an extremely quick attack.

Not to mention Jing Yan was unprepared, even if he had been, he might not have been able to stop Zhao Dangyuan from killing the people to silence them.

“I just couldn’t stand by and watch anymore!”

“These scum deserved to die for daring to maliciously slander the Splendid Pill Tower.

Jing Yan, you don’t need to thank me.

I was only doing what needed to be done,” Zhao Dangyuan said with a smile.

Surrounding Martial Artists stood in stunned silence, watching Zhao Dangyuan.

Zhao Dangyuan meant he was helping the Splendid Pill Tower by getting rid of disruptors.

This powerhouse in the Dao Spirit Realm really had some nerve!

Even if your sense of justice was overwhelming, you shouldn’t kill people on the spot when Jing Yan was asking who was behind it all, right?

Others aren’t fools.

Who didn’t know that there was a competitive relationship between the Splendid Pill Tower and Zhao Family’s medicine shop?

Why would Zhao Dangyuan help Jing Yan clear away the disruptors?

The intention was clear!

There had been suspicions before that the dark-faced Martial Artists were hired by the Zhao Family.

Now, Zhao Dangyuan’s actions undoubtedly made it even clearer that these men were indeed hired by the Zhao Family to tarnish the reputation of the Splendid Pill Tower.

However, with the dark-faced Martial Artists now silenced, there wasn’t any direct evidence left.

“Heh, Patriarch Zhao, what a move!” Jing Yan said with a smile tinged with sarcasm and gave a slight bow toward Zhao Dangyuan.

Zhao Dangyuan’s face turned ashen.

He certainly caught the sarcasm in Jing Yan’s voice but now, he couldn’t say much in his defense.

Anything he might say would only make things worse.

“It doesn’t matter who sent these good-for-nothings to cause trouble; they clearly haven’t achieved their goal.

Speaking of which, I should thank them for promoting my Splendid Pill Tower!

Now everyone is even more aware of the effectiveness of my medicines,” Jing Yan continued, still smiling.

Zhao Dangyuan’s breath seized, almost choking on his own anger.

Originally, his plan was a good one—hire some troublemakers to throw dirt on the Splendid Pill Tower.

Even if Jing Yan personally showed up to handle it, turning the situation around would be difficult because they had a Pill Master on their side.

Who wouldn’t believe a Pill Master?

But unexpectedly, a vice president of the Alchemist Association also appeared here, rendering their Cang Yu Alchemist speechless.

This mistake was critical.

Surrounding Martial Artists burst into laughter.

“The medicines from the Splendid Pill Tower are indeed excellent!

The ones I bought, I wouldn’t return.”

“That’s right, from now on, I’ll only buy my medicines from the Splendid Pill Tower; nowhere else.”

“I decided the same, I’ll only purchase medicines from the Splendid Pill Tower from now on!”

The onlookers voiced out loud, one after the other.

Hearing these voices, Zhao Dangyuan’s expression darkened further and his eyes, filled with venom, continuously scanned over Jing Yan.

He really wanted to kill Jing Yan right there and then, but he couldn’t, he had to restrain himself.

Not to mention, the City Lord Huo Chunyang was right there.

Besides, there was also a vice president of the Alchemist Association, Liu Wen, by Jing Yan’s side.

Even if he acted, it would be impossible.

Moreover, if he did act, what awaited the Zhao Family would be unbearable consequences.

No matter how angry he was, he had to hold back.

“Eh?”

“Cang Yu, where are you going?”

Jing Yan quietly exclaimed upon noticing a figure attempting to sneak away.

Cang Yu’s body stiffened for a moment, then slowly turned around, his face wearing a strange expression.

“Cang Yu, weren’t you just saying that my Splendid Pill Tower’s medicines were fake?” Jing Yan asked with a smile.

“Jing Yan, don’t falsely accuse me.

When did I say your Splendid Pill Tower’s medicines were fake?” Cang Yu retorted loudly, his face turning red.

“Cang Yu, everyone here saw you with their own eyes.

You can’t just deny it now, can you?” Jing Yan was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected Cang Yu to be so shameless, to deny the words he had just spoken.

But even if he didn’t admit it, with so many witnesses, he couldn’t escape the blame.

“Jing Yan, I just said that the medicines those men brought out were fake, I never said your Splendid Pill Tower’s medicines were fake.

They said that the medicines they brought were from your Splendid Pill Tower,” Cang Yu insisted, sticking his neck out.

Indeed, he hadn’t directly said the Splendid Pill Tower’s medicines were fake.

Clearly, from the start, Cang Yu had planned this—he hadn’t spoken directly, but his actions were obviously intended to suggest that the Splendid Pill Tower was selling fake medicines.

“I’ve seen shameless, but shameless to your extent is indeed rare,” Jing Yan took a deep breath, astounded by such shamelessness, meticulously planned at that.

“Cang Yu?

A Pill Master?”

“Is he a registered Pill Master of the Alchemist Association?” Liu Wen looked at Cang Yu.
