The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Verifying the Efficacy of the Medicine Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Verifying the Efficacy of the Medicine Jing Yan’s anger burned like the blazing sun.

The Splendid Pill Tower could not possibly sell counterfeit medicines, of this he was one hundred percent certain.

Therefore, these people were slandering and defaming it.

Of course, Jing Yan didn’t believe that there were no instigators behind these people.

Who could be behind this scheme?

It could only be the forces like the Zhao Family, Cai Family, and others!

Jing Yan had been patient enough, but the Zhao Family and others were persistent and aggressive, provoking him repeatedly.

Did they really think Jing Yan had no temper?

Even a clay figure has a touch of earthiness, let alone a real person?

Jing Yan stepped forward, and all eyes in the crowd turned to him.

Jing Yan also said that if they wanted to return the products, they definitely could.

However, they first had to do justice to those martial artists.

A slight delay was something everyone could wait for.

“Jing Yan, you’ve arrived just in time!”

“The Splendid Pill Tower is yours, and now your tower has sold fake medicine.

What do you have to say?

Today, you must give us an explanation.” The martial artist with the dark face saw Jing Yan and immediately appeared somewhat nervous.

This time, it was genuine nervousness.

When he had seen Cang Yu earlier, that nervousness was feigned.

“Counterfeit medicine?” Jing Yan let out a cold laugh, “Are you really sure that these medicines were bought from the Splendid Pill Tower?

You’d better tell the truth, this is your last chance I’m giving you.”

“Of course!

Why else would we come to the Splendid Pill Tower if not for medicines bought there?

Jing Yan, are you threatening us?” The dark-faced martial artist and his companions dared not meet Jing Yan’s gaze, but they still answered back defiantly.

They knew Jing Yan was incredibly powerful, but they also believed the people backing them were not to be trifled with.

They didn’t think Jing Yan would dare to do anything to them in front of everyone.

“Good!” Jing Yan nodded.

He had given them a chance, but they refused to repent; there was nothing he could do about it.

“Shua!”

The Sword Light flashed lightly.

“Pu!” A streak of sword light flashed across the body of the dark-faced martial artist.

Blood immediately spurted out.

“Ah!” The martial artist’s complexion turned deathly pale in a moment of panic, “Murder!

The Splendid Pill Tower has committed murder, Jing Yan has killed someone.

Help, help!

Jing Yan is trying to silence us with murder!”

The dark-faced martial artist felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and began to scream out of instinct.

“You won’t die just yet!” Jing Yan said with a cold smile, showing his white teeth.

“Huh?” The dark-faced martial artist was stunned.

He looked at his abdomen and indeed there was a shocking wound, but it was clearly not fatal.

“Jing Yan, don’t you think that’s going a bit too far?

People bought fake medicine from your tower, and this is how you give them an explanation?” Cang Yu asked with a frown, his tone dark and questioning.

“Cang Yu, we’ll talk about your matter later.

Did you think I didn’t know that the Zhao Family brought you from Lanqu County City to deal with me?

Your acting skills are quite good; you’ve deceived many people here!” Jing Yan turned and looked at Cang Yu.

“What?

Cang Yu?”

“Could it be the brother of Cang Long, Cang Yu?”

“It’s said that Jing Yan killed the disciple of Cang Long, and Cang Long harbors great resentment towards Jing Yan.

Did that brother of Cang Long, Cang Yu, really speak out for the Splendid Pill Tower earlier in good faith?” The onlookers whispered among themselves.

Knowing Cang Yu’s identity, anyone with a bit of sense could guess the hidden trickery involved.

Earlier, Cang Yu was the first to say he didn’t believe the Splendid Pill Tower would sell fake medicine, and only after verifying the products did he change his tune, making everyone think he was disappointed with the tower.

Now, it seemed very likely that it had all been an act.

“Uncle Chenxing, go get a bottle of our tower’s Low-level Healing Potion!” Jing Yan said to Jing Chenxing.

“Alright, okay!” Jing Chenxing responded and went into the tower, returning quickly with a bottle of Low-level Healing Potion in hand.

“My fellow comrades, we’ll now verify the effect of the medicines from my Splendid Pill Tower!” Jing Yan received the potion and saluted the many martial artists surrounding him.

Cang Yu frowned slightly; of course, he knew the effects of the Splendid Pill Tower’s medicine were extremely powerful.

The medicines the dark-faced martial artist and others had were counterfeit ones he had switched out.

It seemed now that Jing Yan had wounded the dark-faced martial artist precisely to verify the effect of the Low-level Healing Potion.

Once verified, the effects would undoubtedly be good.

What to do?

Was his plan to be completely wasted?

“Jing Yan, this is too ridiculous, you just take out a vial of medicine, how do we know if that is a Low-level Healing Potion?

If you take out a vial of Special Healing Potion, the effects will definitely be good!”

At this moment, another sharp, shrill voice rang out.

Family Head Zhao Dangyuan, Cai Family Patriarch Cai Yunjian, and others stepped forward.

The one speaking was Zhao Dangyuan!

“Finally decided to show yourself?” Jing Yan sneered as he looked at Zhao Dangyuan and his companions.

“Show ourselves?

Jing Yan, don’t falsely accuse us!

We were just passing by, and saw your Splendid Pill Tower bullying ordinary Martial Artists.

We couldn’t stand by and not speak up,” Zhao Dangyuan said, his gaze poisonous as he stared at Jing Yan.

The Splendid Pill Tower posed too great a threat to the Zhao Family.

Once the Splendid Pill Tower got its footing, the Zhao Family’s medicine business would definitely shrink to an unacceptable level.

Even with the help of Cang Yu Alchemist, the Zhao Family’s medicines would be powerless to compete with those of the Splendid Pill Tower.

This was a consensus they had reached earlier.

Cang Yu Alchemist had personally admitted that he was unable to produce medicines of the high quality that the Splendid Pill Tower did.

Cang Yu, of course, also felt very ashamed.

And it was precisely because of this shame that he was equally angry at the Splendid Pill Tower and hated Jing Yan, feeling that the Splendid Pill Tower had made him lose face.

Therefore, he joined hands with the Zhao and Cai Families, aiming to strike at the Splendid Pill Tower and tarnish its reputation.

I’m not having it easy, so I won’t let you have it easy either.

“Since some doubt the grade of this medicine, then let me verify and assess it.”

Another voice, aged and weary, came through.

“Hm?”

“Who is this now?”

“It seems to be someone accompanying the City Lord, but I don’t recognize them.

Doesn’t seem to be from the City Lord Mansion, right?”

As soon as Alchemist Liu Wen spoke, he drew the attention of many Martial Artists.

“Hm?

Vice President Liu Wen?” Seeing Liu Wen, Cang Yu’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

Before Liu Wen spoke, he hadn’t noticed him.

City Lord Huo Chunyang he had noticed, but had not paid attention to Liu Wen at his side.

Of course, this was also because he had never imagined that Liu Wen would appear here.

Although Cang Yu knew of Liu Wen, he was not familiar with him.

Alchemist Liu Wen was the Vice President of the Alchemist Association, and he was but an ordinary Pill Master.

Even his master Gao Zhao Hai probably couldn’t have much of a conversation with Liu Wen, let alone Cang Yu himself.

But now that Liu Wen had spoken, he recognized him.

His face darkened slightly, and his body shrank back quite a bit.

His mind was in turmoil; he had no idea why the Vice President of the Alchemist Association, Liu Wen, would suddenly appear in Donglin City.

And what was Vice President Liu Wen planning to do?

Was he here to verify the grade of the medicines from Jing Yan’s Splendid Pill Tower?

What exactly was going on?

“And you are?” Zhao Dangyuan asked discontentedly as he saw Liu Wen step forward.

He did not recognize Liu Wen, but seeing him with the City Lord only increased his irritation.

Currently, Zhao Dangyuan had a significant bone to pick with City Lord Huo Chunyang.

Cang Yu glanced at Zhao Dangyuan, strongly inclined to warn him, but he really didn’t dare to draw attention to himself again.

He most hoped that Liu Wen hadn’t noticed him and would dismiss him as irrelevant.

He was beginning to regret coming to Donglin City—if Liu Wen took note of him and bore a grudge, his future would be completely ruined.

Even his master Gao Zhao Hai wouldn’t be able to help him.

“Who do you think you are, meddling in this mess?” Cai Yunjian also glanced at Liu Wen with narrow eyes, asking in a hostile tone.

“Heh, I am not someone who just popped up out of nowhere.

I am Liu Wen, the Vice President of the Alchemist Association of Lanqu County City,” Liu Wen said with a smile on his face.

“What?” Zhao Dangyuan’s breath hitched, and his eyes widened.

Vice President of the Alchemist Association?

Damn it, such an important person came to Donglin City and stood before him?

Zhao Dangyuan clenched his fist, a chill sweeping over his entire body.

To be honest, he could even afford to offend Huo Chunyang, but he was very clear about the lofty status of the Vice President of the Alchemist Association.

Even the Wen Family backing him probably would not dare to easily offend the Vice President of the Alchemist Association.

The Wen Family might not care much about the Donglin City Lord, but they would definitely care about the Vice President of the Alchemist Association.

As his thoughts swirled, Zhao Dangyuan’s complexion gradually turned somewhat pale.

“Heh, I think I should have the qualification to assess the grade of a Healing Potion, right?” Liu Wen continued to speak with a smile.

“Please, Alchemist Liu Wen, make the assessment!” Jing Yan handed over the Low-level Healing Potion to Liu Wen with both hands.

“This potion is a Low-level Healing Potion, no doubt about it!” Liu Wen quickly said loudly.

“My fellow comrades, now that even the Vice President of the Alchemist Association, Alchemist Liu Wen, has assessed the potion, I think you won’t have any doubts anymore, right?” Jing Yan said, bowing to the many Martial Artists around him.

By this point, in their hearts, most of them had pretty much made up their judgments.

The likelihood that the grim-faced Martial Artists were sent by the Zhao Family to cause chaos was very high.

“Young Master Jing Yan, I believe this is a Low-level Healing Potion!”

“I believe it too!”

“We all believe it!” Many Martial Artists spoke up one after another.

Even those who had initially planned to return their purchases had shifted their thoughts more towards watching the excitement rather than returning goods.

“Since that’s the case, let’s witness for ourselves the effects of my Splendid Pill Tower’s Low-level Healing Medicine!” Jing Yan pursed his lips and focused his gaze on the grim-faced Martial Artist.

He reached out and grabbed the grim-faced Martial Artist, tearing open his robe to reveal his somewhat shocking wound.

The wound was large but not very deep.

For a Martial Artist, such an injury was child’s play.
