The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Conflict

Alchemist Leng Feng intended to swallow Jing Yan’s elixirs!

The elixirs at this stall were incredibly valuable, a rough estimate put the value far beyond one hundred million Spirit Stones.

”Fake Pills?”

”The elixirs at this stall are actually fake pills?”

”Damn it! I spent three million Spirit Stones! Damn it, I want a refund!”

Upon hearing Alchemist Leng Feng’s words, the martial artists around who had purchased the elixirs suddenly became excited and began demanding immediate refunds. Those who had not bought any elixirs were also noisy with commotion, feeling simultaneously lucky.

Jing Yan’s gaze also turned completely cold.

”You truly have a death wish, thinking you can sell fake medicine here?”

”If you have any sense, get lost quickly, before the conference guards arrive. Otherwise, once they catch you, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!” Alchemist Leng Feng’s deep voice roared.

He planned to follow Jing Yan after he left, waiting for a deserted place to strike and kill him, seizing all the elixirs.

He was an eighth-grade pill master. Although his main focus was on the Alchemy Dao, his Martial Arts Cultivation was not weak either - just a step away from Daoist King Realm at the Daoist Master Realm Peak.

Indeed, an eighth-grade pill master wouldn’t have weak Martial Arts Cultivation. Without sufficient strength, one could not possibly achieve eighth-grade Pill Master status. Alchemy also demanded a high requirement of Primordial Energy.

In fact, Alchemist Leng Feng had also considered whether Jing Yan had any powerful backing. However, after deep contemplation, he felt it was unlikely. If Jing Yan had significant backing, why would he wear a mask?

Those large families and powers were eager to build their reputation – who would purposely conceal themselves with a veil?

So he believed that Jing Yan definitely had no such background, and that perhaps by luck, he entered an alchemist’s cave of a very formidable Pill Master.

In Alchemist Leng Feng’s eyes, Jing Yan became a fat sheep. If he didn’t strip Jing Yan bare, he would be doing himself a disservice.

”Old man, if you’re not buying elixirs, then scram far away,” Jing Yan was also furious!

”Gentlemen, my elixirs are all True Pills, absolutely no Fake Pills are possible! However, if you really want to return them, that is also completely possible. Please wait a moment, let me deal with this old man first,” Jing Yan then made a respectful gesture to the somewhat excited martial artists around him.

”You really chose to face the music!”

”Very well, I’m now calling the guards to see if you can still talk tough!” Alchemist Leng Feng’s aura condensed.

If he could make Jing Yan leave on his own, that would certainly be best. But now it seemed Jing Yan had no intention of leaving voluntarily. In that case, he’d had to use some connections.

”Manager Shui Yang, go and call Captain Gao Zhao, tell him someone is selling fake pills here and to come deal with it,” Alchemist Leng Feng instructed Shui Yang.

”Yes!” Shui Yang complied and left.

”You will regret this! If I were you, I would leave immediately. Once the conference guards arrive, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to!” Alchemist Leng Feng immediately said to Jing Yan again.

At the trade conference, Alchemist Leng Feng certainly couldn’t move against Jing Yan directly. Even if Jing Yan sold Fake Pills, it would need to be dealt with by the guards of Pill Spirit City.

The only thing was, this way, he would have to share the benefits of seizing Jing Yan’s elixirs with others. The Captain Gao Zhao he mentioned had a good relationship with him, but he didn’t want to share any of the benefits with Gao Zhao.

Jing Yan, on the other hand, was not concerned at all. His elixirs were all True Pills, even if the guards came, what could they do?

As expected, Shui Yang soon brought over some armored guards.

The crowd surrounding the area automatically made way when the guards arrived.

”Who’s selling Fake Pills?”

”Someone daring enough to sell fake pills at the Pill Spirit Conference? They must be tired of living!” The leader, a burly man, stormed in, shouting loudly.

”Captain Gao Zhao!” Alchemist Leng Feng greeted the man with a salute.

”Alchemist Leng Feng is here too?” Upon seeing Alchemist Leng Feng, Gao Zhao immediately smiled and spoke.

”Captain Gao Zhao, we can catch up later. Right now, let’s deal with this matter of selling Fake Pills first. Many elixirs at this man’s stall are fake, and many people seem to have bought them. I happened to see, and as a Pill Master of Pill Country, I absolutely cannot watch this happen without acting, so I immediately informed you,” Alchemist Leng Feng spoke in a gentle tone.

”Alchemist Leng Feng really is noble and principled!” Gao Zhao snickered, speaking to Alchemist Leng Feng.

In fact, he knew Alchemist Leng Feng very well and knew what kind of person he was. If there weren’t any benefits involved, even if someone actually sold Fake Pills and he discovered it, he surely wouldn’t inquire.

But at this moment, he certainly wouldn’t say much. He vaguely felt that he would soon receive some benefits.

The two men exchanged looks, acknowledging their understanding without words.

”Is it you selling Fake Pills here?”

”You shady character, not a good thing to look at, won’t you take off your mask?” Gao Zhao looked at Jing Yan, angrily berating him.

”My stall’s elixirs are all True Pills!”

”Captain, you are a guard of the Pill Spirit Conference, responsible for maintaining order. I think you can’t just claim my elixirs are Fake based on one person’s say-so, right?” Jing Yan frowned at Gao Zhao, refusing to take off the mask on his face.

He could also see that there was something wrong between Gao Zhao and Alchemist Leng Feng.

”You cheeky brat, still daring to argue! Humph, save your words for the administration office!” Gao Zhao waved his hand and his accompanying guards advanced towards Jing Yan.

”Captain Gao Zhao, words are not evidence. The elixir in this Jade Bottle is from his stall, the same one I just appraised. Please keep it safe now, Captain. Once we reach the administration office, we can have the Pill Masters of Pill Spirit City personally appraise it to confirm whether my words are true,” Alchemist Leng Feng suddenly took out a Jade Bottle and handed it to Gao Zhao.

The bottle he took out was exactly the same as the one on Jing Yan’s stall that contained the All Phenomena Pills.

Many people around had seen it, so when Alchemist Leng Feng took out this bottle, those present really believed that the elixir in this bottle was the one from Jing Yan’s stall.

Jing Yan’s gaze, however, condensed – he knew that the Jade Bottle Alchemist Leng Feng had taken out was probably switched. Even if the Jade Bottle hadn’t been tampered with, the elixirs inside must have been.

”Good! Very good! With both human and physical evidence present, let’s see what you scoundrel have to say!”

”Take him away!” Gao Zhao shouted loudly.

Alchemist Leng Feng was overjoyed inside. With Gao Zhao cooperating with him, Jing Yan was merely clay in their hands, right? The kid was as good as dead today; he’d have to spit up all the resources he had. It pained him a bit to think about having to share some of the spoils with Gao Zhao, though.

”Boom!”

The guards lunged at Jing Yan, but naturally, he would not just sit back and wait for capture. His Primordial Energy surged forth and with a hit of his palm, a loud noise followed and the guards were pushed back.
