Chapter 3677 Death Energy Entering the Pill

Miao Badou's request was sincere; he had previously been curious why Gongsun Hong would acknowledge such a Young man as his Master, but now he understood that Young Master Ye truly possessed great skill.

He had carefully examined the Medicinal Pill for a long time, but still couldn't find the problem.

Young Master Ye had only observed from the side, yet he saw everything clearly. Miao Badou couldn't help but admire such skill.

Although Deng Jiugong was angry, he also looked over, wanting to know where the problem truly lay.

He had also suspected that Ye Bufan had secretly tampered with it, but he had been watching closely the whole time, and Young Master Ye hadn't even touched the Medicinal Pill, so there was no opportunity to do anything.

That left only one conclusion: his Medicinal Pill truly had a problem.

Ye Bufan said, "Because the Materials for this batch of Medicinal Pills had a problem!"

"That's impossible."

Deng Jiugong said, "This batch of nine-grade Medicinal Pills was personally refined by me, and the Materials were personally selected by me. How could there be a problem?"

Ye Bufan said, "To refine the Quiet Heart Pill, one of the main Materials is the inner core of an eighth-tier Immortal Demon Beast, the Red-Scaled Python."

"That's right, I personally bought that inner core. Its color was deep, its age was sufficient, and there was no problem with it at all."

Ye Bufan looked at him: "Deep color? Didn't you wonder why?"

Deng Jiugong said, "Why else? It simply means it's very old. Everyone knows that the older a Red-Scaled Python is, the deeper the color of its inner core."

"What you're saying is just the most common situation."

Ye Bufan shook his head, "There's another situation: that Red-Scaled Python was in its mating season when it was killed, and its inner core was taken out and happened to be bought by you.

Red-Scaled Pythons are naturally lustful, let alone an inner core from a special period.

It is precisely because of this that the Quiet Heart Pill you refined is a waste Medicinal Pill.

You've also seen the effect; for a normal person, it's an aphrodisiac, but for someone undergoing Qi Deviation, it's a death warrant!"

"This…"

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, the admiration in Gongsun Hong's eyes grew even stronger. His Master's prowess far exceeded his imagination.

Miao Badou was dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time. He never expected such a problem to occur with a Medicinal Pill.

After the shock, Deng Jiugong snorted coldly, "Even if what you said is true, so what? This is just a minor oversight.

If you have the guts, let's bet again. If you can find another problematic Medicinal Pill, I'll give you one million."

Losing this round made him feel like he had lost Face, and he was eager to regain it.

Moreover, he had absolute confidence, believing it was impossible to make two consecutive mistakes. "You call me a good-for-nothing, but you're not convinced. Alright then, let's have another round."

Ye Bufan raised his hand and waved, and the Storage Ring filled with one million Medium Grade celestial crystals once again flew in front of Miao Badou.

Deng Jiugong did the same, tossing out another Storage Ring, which also contained one million Medium Grade celestial crystals.

Miao Badou took the two rings, waved his hand, and had the Shopkeeper bring over another Medicinal Pill Testing Beast.

"Young Master Ye, which bottle shall we test this time?"

"This one."

Ye Bufan raised his hand and pointed to a bottle of Heart Protection Pills, a type of nine-grade Medicinal Pill whose main function is to stabilize injuries after heart damage, serving as a life-saving Spirit Medicine at critical moments.

"I'll do it this time."

Although Deng Jiugong knew that Miao Badou couldn't cheat, to put his mind at ease, he personally opened the bottle and took out a Medicinal Pill, placing it into the mouth of the Medicinal Pill Testing Beast.

Ye Bufan watched with a faint smile, while Miao Badou and Gongsun Hong watched intently, anticipating the upcoming reaction.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths, a full ten breaths passed, and the Medicinal Pill Testing Beast lay on the table without any movement, showing no signs of going berserk.

"Hahahaha, do you see? I won!"

Seeing this, Deng Jiugong burst into laughter, feeling that he had finally won a round back.

"You won? Are you sure?"

A mocking smile played on Ye Bufan's lips.

"Isn't that so?" Deng Jiugong said arrogantly,

"The Medicinal Pill Testing Beast showed no change after eating my Medicinal Pill, what more do you have to say? Are you going to renege?"

Ye Bufan shook his head, said nothing more, and simply pushed the Medicinal Pill Testing Beast on the table, causing it to flip over, four legs in the air.

At this moment, it was foaming at the mouth, its four legs pointing skyward, completely lifeless, and already stiff.

"This…"

Miao Badou and the others were all greatly shocked. They had thought the Medicinal Pill Testing Beast was quiet because the Medicinal Pill was fine, but they never expected it was already dead.

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Deng Jiugong's eyes widened, his Face filled with disbelief. He truly couldn't understand how his Medicinal Pill could have poisoned the Medicinal Pill Testing Beast to death?

Miao Badou felt another chill down his spine. He never expected the Medicinal Pill's toxicity to be so potent.

If it were sold and poisoned other Immortals, he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

"Young Master Ye, why is this Medicinal Pill so poisonous? Please enlighten me!"

After the shock, his curiosity resurfaced, and he humbly sought guidance.

Ye Bufan looked at Deng Jiugong again: "The main ingredient of the Heart Protection Pill is Silver Silk Jade Dew Flower. If I'm not mistaken, you snatched this Spirit Medicine from another Immortal."

"So what? What does that have to do with the Medicinal Pill?"

Deng Jiugong had no reservations. In the Immortal Realm, snatching Spirit Medicine was common, and there was nothing to hide.

"But you not only snatched the immortal spirit grass, you also killed the person."

Ye Bufan said, "You killed the person first, then seized the treasure, and that person happened to be holding the immortal spirit grass when he died.

The Silver Silk Jade Dew Flower is an eighth-tier immortal spirit grass. Not only is its medicinal property potent, but it also has a characteristic: it can absorb Death Qi from people.

The Death Qi and resentment of the person you killed were absorbed. If it had been left for a while, it might have slowly dissipated.

But you were in a hurry to refine the Medicine, and you refined this batch of Medicinal Pills as soon as you got your hands on it.

"

At this point, he shook his head again, "With such concentrated Death Qi, no matter how skilled you are in Alchemy, no matter what kind of Medicinal Pill you refine.

The final product can only be a poison, and an extremely potent one."

"This…"

Deng Jiugong opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something, but ultimately nothing came out.

In the end, it was still his insufficient Alchemy skill and his lack of understanding of immortal spirit grass.

He had no idea that the Silver Silk Jade Dew Flower possessed such a characteristic, capable of absorbing Death Qi, and by a strange twist of fate, he had refined a perfectly good batch of Medicinal Pills into poison.

After the shock, Miao Badou's eyes were filled with admiration.

If he hadn't witnessed all of this with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it. To be able to deduce so much from just one Medicinal Pill, how profound must one's Alchemy skill be?

As the saying goes, the skilled are teachers. Now, let alone Gongsun Hong acknowledging Ye Bufan as his Master, even if he knelt and called him Grandmaster, Miao Badou wouldn't find it strange at all; Young Master Ye truly possessed this skill.

This second round was undoubtedly won by Ye Bufan, and Miao Badou respectfully handed over both Storage Rings in his possession.

"I refuse to accept this."

Deng Jiugong's expression changed, and he finally became furious and shouted loudly.

"These are all isolated incidents, mere coincidences, they don't count for anything. If you have the guts, let's bet another round, for two million! I refuse to believe you can find another problematic Medicinal Pill!"

He was now extremely shocked and angry, having lost his rationality.

If he didn't regain this Face, he probably wouldn't dare to come to Jubao Pavilion again.

Once word spread, his reputation would be ruined, and who would dare to buy his Medicinal Pills again?

It was precisely because of this that he desperately wanted to win a round back, to prove that the previous incidents were merely rare occurrences.
