Chapter 3678 Nine-Leaf Demonic Lotus

Deng Jiugong gasped, staring at Ye Bufan, his expression extremely complex.

The two consecutive gambles just now had completely shattered his self-confidence.

On one hand, he hoped the other party would agree, giving him a chance to regain his face.

On the other hand, he was afraid that Ye Bufan would find problems again from his remaining Medicinal Pills.

“Alright, since you want to give me money, let’s continue to gamble one more round.”

Ye Bufan’s move was to help Miao Badou, but he didn’t mind earning more middle-grade celestial crystals for himself, as this was what he lacked most right now.

Having just arrived in the Middle Heaven Region, his financial foundation was still a bit thin.

He raised his hand, and the two million celestial crystals he had just retrieved flew back in front of Miao Badou.

Deng Jiugong gritted his teeth, then pulled out another Storage Ring, sending over two million celestial crystals.

Although he was a Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill Master and very wealthy, these two million were his last remaining assets.

After all, he usually needed celestial crystals for Alchemy and purchasing medicinal materials, and he himself also needed to consume Medicinal Pills and Cultivate.

Miao Badou said nothing more, accepted the two people’s bets, and then had someone find a third test Yao Beast.

“Young Master Ye, which Medicinal Pill should it eat this time?”

“Just this bottle!”

Ye Bufan raised his hand and pointed to the Fire Lotus Pill.

Deng Jiugong, with red eyes, didn’t wait for anyone to speak, directly grabbed the jade bottle, took out a Medicinal Pill, and put it into the test Yao Beast’s mouth.

“Squeak, squeak…”

The test Yao Beast cried out a few times, then its body slowly began to emit a scorching Qi.

Seeing this scene, Deng Jiugong finally let out a long sigh of relief.

“See? My Medicinal Pill has no problems this time, you misjudged.”

The Fire Lotus Pill was a ninth-grade Medicinal Pill, capable of helping Immortals improve their fire-attribute Cultivation.

Now that the test Yao Beast had consumed it, it emitted fire-attribute elements, proving that this Medicinal Pill was effective.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: “Let’s talk about it later.”

Deng Jiugong curled his lips: “Facts prove that my Medicinal Pill is effective, what else is there to wait for?

Admit defeat, are you going to renege?”

“Don’t rush.”

Ye Bufan remained calm, extended three fingers, and began to count.

“Three… two… one…”

The few people watched in confusion, not knowing what he was going to do.

Just as Deng Jiugong was about to erupt, the Qi on the test Yao Beast in front of him suddenly changed; the original hot Qi instantly disappeared, replaced by extreme coldness.

This cold Qi was extremely fierce; within two or three breaths, the test Yao Beast was completely covered in frost, frozen into a block of ice.

“Hiss…”

Miao Badou sharply drew in a cold breath; one must know that this was a Fire Lotus Pill, used by Immortals who Cultivate fire-attribute Cultivation Technique.

For it to suddenly emit cold Qi at this moment, this was even more poisonous than poison.

Deng Jiugong’s eyeballs almost flew out of their sockets; if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

“Impossible! How could this be?”

Even seeing it, he couldn’t believe it; he clearly refined a Fire Lotus Pill, it clearly emitted fire-attribute Qi, why did it suddenly take a complete 180-degree turn?

Miao Badou bowed deeply to Ye Bufan, his expression far more respectful than before.

“Master Ye, please enlighten this old man!”

He was now filled with extreme admiration; replacing “Young Master” with “Great Master” showed how shocked he was inside.

This was understandable; today’s events had too great an impact on him; Medicinal Pills he had personally verified kept having problems, and each one was more incredible than the last.

Ye Bufan said lightly: “This is very simple; the medicinal materials for refining this batch of Medicinal Pills were chosen incorrectly.”

“Impossible!”

Deng Jiugong angrily shouted, “The Fire Lotus Pill requires thirty-six Spirit Medicines, all personally selected by me, how could there be any problems?”

As if feeling that it wasn’t convincing enough, he immediately added, “There are no Yao Beast inner cores in here, so there’s no issue of going into heat.

The immortal spirit grasses were all bought by me, and it’s even less possible for Death Qi to exist.

You say I chose the wrong medicinal materials, that’s impossible!”

“You are just a good-for-nothing.”

Ye Bufan said impolitely, “What is the main medicinal material for refining the Fire Lotus Pill? It’s the eighth-grade immortal spirit grass Seven-Leaf Fire Lotus, but what you chose is the Nine-Leaf Demonic Lotus!”

“Nine-Leaf Demonic Lotus, what Nine-Leaf Demonic Lotus?”

Deng Jiugong looked bewildered; although he was a Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill Master, he had never heard of an immortal spirit grass called Nine-Leaf Demonic Lotus.

“Indeed, ignorant.”

Ye Bufan shook his head, “The Nine-Leaf Demonic Lotus looks extremely similar to the Seven-Leaf Fire Lotus; it’s called a Demonic Lotus because it has both fire and ice-cold attributes.

Before it’s fully mature, it also has seven leaves, appearing identical to the Seven-Leaf Fire Lotus on the surface, but in reality, it contains extremely strong cold Qi.

As a Ninth-Rank Immortal Pill Master, refining Fire Lotus Pills, you don’t even know this; what do you say you are if not a good-for-nothing?”

“I…”

Deng Jiugong’s expression changed, first flushed with embarrassment, then turning ashen, but in the end, he couldn’t say anything.

He wanted to argue, he wanted to counterattack, but the facts were laid out, leaving him speechless.

Even a fool could see that the Young man’s Alchemy attainment far surpassed his by eighteen streets; he didn’t even know what a Nine-Leaf Demonic Lotus was, how could he debate with him?

Thinking of this, he was so ashamed that he wished for a hole to swallow him; he no longer had the face to stay there, disregarding the remaining few bottles of Medicinal Pills, he turned and ran, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

He was as arrogant when he arrived as he was disheveled when he left.

As he left, uu Kanshu

Miao Badou immediately bowed in salute.

“This old man thanks Master Ye for saving my life!”

His gratitude was completely heartfelt, as this incident was too serious.

If Ye Bufan hadn’t come forward to point out that these three bottles of Medicinal Pills had problems, the consequences would have been unimaginable once they were sold.

Not to mention the astronomical figure of a hundredfold compensation for fakes that would bankrupt him, the loss of reputation alone would be unbearable, and Jubao Pavilion would certainly not let it go.

At that time, he would not only lose his position as Grand Manager, but he might not even be able to keep his life.

He was a smart person, seeing the consequences of the matter clearly, so he showed no pretense, just heartfelt gratitude.

“Alright, get up, it’s nothing to lift a hand.”

Ye Bufan reached out and helped him up.

“Master Ye, no matter what, this old man must repay your life-saving grace; this is my savings of many years, one million middle-grade celestial crystals, please accept it.”

Miao Badou said, stuffing a Storage Ring into Ye Bufan’s hand, his attitude very sincere.

“Alright then.”

Seeing the other party’s attitude, Ye Bufan didn’t decline; he would just give him a few Medicinal Pills when he had the chance in the future.

After handing over the ring, Miao Badou smiled heartily, then pointed at the Medicinal Pills Deng Jiugong had left behind and asked, “Master Ye, are there any more problems with these Medicinal Pills? What do you think should be done with them?”

He had indeed been frightened just now; without Ye Bufan’s approval, he wouldn’t dare to accept even one Medicinal Pill.

Ye Bufan said: “Don’t worry, the problematic Medicinal Pills have all been taken out; the rest have no problems at all.”

“Then this old man is relieved.”

Miao Badou collected all the Medicinal Pills, then took out another Storage Ring.

“Master Ye’s contributions today are indispensable; Jubao Pavilion acquired these Medicinal Pills for one million, and Deng Jiugong has left, so please accept these celestial crystals!”
