The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Justice Must Be Served for Them Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Justice Must Be Served for Them “Yes, if you don’t give us an explanation that satisfies us, if you don’t give us justice, we will come back every day!”

“Hmph, don’t think that just because Splendid Pill Tower is wealthy and has the backing of the Jing family, we will be afraid of you!”

“Trying to intimidate us with power?

You’ll need the consent of the martial artists of Donglin City for that!

Donglin City is a place governed by laws!”

These people were clearly here to make trouble.

The more spectators gathered, the stronger their performance became.

They cast themselves as the weaker party.

“You claim to have evidence, then let’s see it.

If all you have is talk, then I can’t help but doubt your intentions!” Jing Chenxing’s voice carried a hint of chill.

“Chief Manager Jing Chenxing is right, I too purchased a good amount of medicine from Splendid Pill Tower yesterday, and all of them were very effective, with not a single fake among them!” a martial artist said with a furrowed brow.

“The medicine I bought also seems to be problem-free!

I’ve already used one bottle, and the results were indeed exceptional.”

“Are you few just here to stir up trouble on purpose?

If you say that Splendid Pill Tower sells fake medicine, then you should provide evidence to prove it!”

Some martial artists couldn’t stand by and also spoke in defense of Splendid Pill Tower.

“Evidence?

Of course we have evidence.

Since Splendid Pill Tower wants evidence, we’ll present it!” The martial artist with a dark face said, his eyes slanting, confident.

Then, he did indeed produce some medicines.

Others beside him also took out various medicines, and on these bottles, there was indeed the mark of Splendid Pill Tower.

Although Splendid Pill Tower had only been selling medicines for three or four days, everyone recognized the mark on the bottles.

“Those who don’t believe that we bought fake medicine from Splendid Pill Tower can come over and personally examine the authenticity of these medicines,” the dark-faced martial artist proclaimed, raising the medicine bottles in his hands.

“Hmph, I refuse to believe that Splendid Pill Tower’s medicines are fakes!”

At that moment, a cold snort sounded.

Following that, a middle-aged martial artist stepped out of the crowd, staring at the group headed by the dark-faced martial artist.

“Gentlemen, you might not know me, as I have not been in Donglin City for long.

However, in the realm of medicines, I do consider myself to have some skill in identification.

I am a Pill Master from Lanqu County City,” the middle-aged martial artist said, saluting the onlookers who were looking around.

“Pill Master?”

“This person is a Pill Master?”

“Good heavens, a Pill Master has actually come to our Donglin City!”

“This Pill Master seems to be standing up for Splendid Pill Tower; could it be someone Jing Yan knows?”

The surrounding onlookers expressed shock upon hearing the middle-aged martial artist’s words.

Pill Masters were indeed figures many looked up to.

Any Pill Master was a remarkable presence, especially in a small city like Donglin City.

“Pill Master?

So what if he’s a Pill Master?” The dark-faced martial artist showed a hint of fear, but still spoke with a tough attitude, “Even if you are a Pill Master, you cannot pass off fake medicine as real.

Take a look and see if there’s something wrong with this medicine!”

“Don’t worry, if this medicine is a fake, I certainly won’t call it real!

I may not be comparable to those Pill Kings, but a Pill Master like myself still values his reputation,” the middle-aged martial artist laughed.

He took the medicine bottle from the dark-faced martial artist, opened it, and closely inspected it, but finally, his brow furrowed.

This man was Cang Yu!

And the dark-faced martial artist and the others were all prearranged by the Zhao family.

The medicine they produced, while the bottles bore the mark of Splendid Pill Tower, contained swapped contents.

The fake medicine was even personally concocted by Cang Yu—how could he not know that the contents were fake?

Now, of course, he too was putting on a performance!

His and the Zhao family’s goal was to ruin Splendid Pill Tower.

As long as people believed that Splendid Pill Tower had fake medicine, anyone thinking of buying medicine from there would think twice.

“Pill Master, how about it?

These medicines are fakes, right?

We haven’t wronged Splendid Pill Tower, have we?

You hold high status and mustn’t be biased towards them just because Splendid Pill Tower has a powerful background,” the dark-faced martial artist glared at Cang Yu and asked.

“I really didn’t expect to find fake medicine being sold within Splendid Pill Tower!” Cang Yu sighed, shaking his head as if disappointed, “Yes, this medicine is indeed fake.”

“Let me check the others too!”

“Yes, this one’s fake as well!

And this is also a fake!”

“What exactly is going on with Splendid Pill Tower?

Why would they sell fake medicine?

This is so wrong!” Cang Yu looked genuinely distressed.

“This esteemed Pill Master, the medicines from our Splendid Pill Tower are impossible to be counterfeit!” Jing Chenxing’s expression was unsightly at this moment.

The several ruffians were already troublesome enough.

Now, a Pill Master had appeared, and to publicly declare these medicines fake was obviously going to greatly impact the reputation of Splendid Pill Tower.

Jing Chenxing was also extremely annoyed, yet facing a Pill Master, he dared not offend.

“Oh?”

“So you mean to say, your Splendid Pill Tower thinks I, a Pill Master, am lying?

Do you think I am impersonating a Pill Master?” Cang Yu, with a cold sneer, looked at Jing Chenxing.

“Ladies and gentlemen, if anyone thinks I am a fake Pill Master, you are entirely welcome to verify it in Lanqu County City.

I believe that even those with audacious courage dare not casually impersonate a Pill Master, right?

Every Pill Master is registered at the Lanqu County Alchemist Association!”

“Heh, such an eye-opener.

It’s my first visit to Donglin City, and I’m suspected of being a fake Pill Master,” said Cang Yu with a chilly voice.

Jing Chenxing was stunned.

He never said this Pill Master might be an impostor, but this person in front of him had already analyzed a whole narrative, as though the information he derived was actually spoken by Jing Chenxing.

And the surrounding onlookers were frowning at this point.

Could it be that Splendid Pill Tower was really selling fraudulent medicine?

What this Pill Master said was quite reasonable, even the most daring would not dare to pretend so recklessly.

That means, this person must be a real Pill Master.

And Splendid Pill Tower is now doubting a Pill Master’s identity?

How exalted and revered are the Pill Masters, to be doubted is rightly to be angered.

It must be said that the vast majority of Martial Artists hold great reverence for Pill Masters.

The words of a Pill Master have a huge impact on ordinary Martial Artists!

Cang Yu was indeed clever; he simply managed to give the many onlooking Martial Artists the first impression of Splendid Pill Tower being arrogant and overbearing, making them doubt from the bottom of their hearts whether Splendid Pill Tower was really selling fake medicine.

At the back of the crowd, within a building, Zhao Dangyuan and others were watching with smiles on their faces.

Up till now, their plan was a success!

Just one more push, and the tarnishing of Splendid Pill Tower’s reputation should be perfectly achieved.

“Jing Chenxing, what else have you got to say now?

Will your Splendid Pill Tower give us justice or not?” The dark-faced Martial Artist became even more arrogant, questioning Jing Chenxing with a confrontational stance.

“You have no proof that the medicine you presented was sold by our Splendid Pill Tower!” Jing Chenxing really didn’t have a good way out now.

“Oh?

So are you saying that these medicines aren’t from your Splendid Pill Tower?

Then, the mark on these medicine bottles isn’t your Splendid Pill Tower’s either?” The dark-faced Martial Artist shook the medicine bottle in hand, “Everyone, take a good look!

This Splendid Pill Tower has such gall!

They refuse to acknowledge their own sold medicines.”

“The cheek of Splendid Pill Tower is really quite thick!

No matter, we are not afraid of those with thick skins.

Fine, you deny it, you deny it, we will just block your doorstep every day to give you free publicity, letting everyone know your Pill Tower sells fake medicine.

I don’t believe Splendid Pill Tower will be able to sell a single bottle of medicine after this!” The dark-faced Martial Artist, sharp-tongued and eloquent, was very compelling.

His instigation, coupled with the testimony of the Pill Master, made most of the onlookers start to believe that Splendid Pill Tower was selling fake medicines.

“I bought medicines worth over a thousand Spirit Stones from Splendid Pill Tower the day before yesterday.

No, I must check them thoroughly; there might be fakes among them.”

“Right, I also bought quite a bit.

Damn it, if there are fakes inside, I’ll have to settle the account with Splendid Pill Tower!”

“Jing Chenxing, we want a refund!

These medicines were just bought from your Splendid Pill Tower yesterday, and I want a refund immediately!” Some Martial Artists even took out some medicines on the spot, angrily demanding a refund!

After the first one, there was immediately a second and a third.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and within a short time, twenty people were asking for refunds.

…

“Jing Yan, what’s happening here?” Huo Chunyang frowned and asked Jing Yan.

Coming out from Yudong Restaurant, they directly arrived at the exterior of Splendid Pill Tower, just to see a crowd accusing Splendid Pill Tower of selling fakes and demanding immediate refunds.

Huo Chunyang didn’t believe Jing Yan’s Pill Tower would sell fraudulent medicines, but why were so many people asking for refunds?

“There are people slinging mud!

Really despicable, using any means necessary to strike at me,” said Jing Yan with a cold and frosty tone scanning the crowd, “I’ll handle this!”

Jing Yan stepped forward.

“Those who want to return the medicines, may do so!

As long as it’s from our Splendid Pill Tower, all medicines can be returned, no conditions attached!” Jing Yan, with Primordial Energy coursing, his voice booming out, suppressed all the noise below.

“However, before you return them, please give me a moment to deal with the fake medicine issue.

If people have received fake medicines from my Splendid Pill Tower, I must take responsibility!

I must give them justice!” Having all eyes on him, Jing Yan then added another sentence.
