Chapter 61: Life-and-Death Pill Duel

perfect qi gathering pills cannot be compared to high-grade qi gathering pills.

A perfect qi gathering pill is worth more than ten times an eight-veined high-grade qi gathering pill.

First, they are rare, and rarity increases value.

Second, their medicinal effects are much better than high-grade qi gathering pills.

Ten perfect qi gathering pills can raise a normal Grand Martial Master Realm by one level, and can give a level nine Martial Master Martial Artist a small chance of a Breakthrough.

This is why perfect qi gathering pills are much more precious than high-grade qi gathering pills.

Qin Ming didn't dare to bring them out before because he didn't have anyone backing him.

If he brought them out, the only way to protect the Medicinal Pills would be to reveal his own strength.

It's different now; he has a Grand Alchemist master, so he can fully protect these perfect qi gathering pills.

"These are my master's family heirlooms, given to my master by my grandmaster, and then given to me by my master.

How about it? Are these perfect qi gathering pills qualified to be the stakes?"

Qin Ming looked at City Lord Qian and smiled.

With City Lord Qian's greedy personality, he certainly wouldn't let these pills go.

Sure enough.

"Fine, these Medicinal Pills can be the stakes. What do you want to bet?"

City Lord Qian said impatiently.

Qin Ming extended a finger, pointed at City Lord Qian, and said loudly:

"The Chen Family just put up their stakes, but you haven't yet. I have ten perfect elixirs here; I'll bet against twenty of your Pill Shops and ten of the Chen Family's Pill Shops, and we'll choose the locations of the Pill Shops ourselves."

Being pointed at by Qin Ming, City Lord Qian's face turned pale and then flushed; he was the high and mighty City Lord, when had he ever been treated like this?

However, they were indeed in the wrong today, so even being pointed at, he was helpless.

"Fine, I agree. However, the rules must change; you cannot compare your Alchemy abilities.

You must have a Life-and-Death Pill Duel!"

City Lord Qian said hatefully.

"Life-and-Death Pill Duel!"

Everyone was stunned; no one expected things to develop this way today.

What is a Life-and-Death Pill Duel? After entering the stage, one chooses from all the spirit plants to refine a poison pill, which they then exchange and consume.

Then, each refines an antidote.

The winner lives, and the loser dies.

Hearing this, Qin Yuan's Spiritual Qi condensed in his palms, his eyes burning with fire as he glared at City Lord Qian.

This City Lord Qian's heart is so cruel; he is trying to sever the Qin Family's roots.

If Qin Ming dies, the Qin Family's lineage will be cut off, and the Grand Alchemist will no longer continue to help their Qin Family.

Then, the Qin Family would be a thing of the past in Liu City, and one day they would vanish into thin air.

This was a move to cut them off at the roots.

"Life-and-Death Pill Duel?" Qin Ming smiled and looked at Ji Wu, asking sharply:

"Ji Wu, do you dare?"

Do you dare?

Do you dare?

Qin Ming's words were like needles stabbing into Ji Wu; how could he have expected things to turn out like this today?

He was just a Pill Apprentice, a Pill Apprentice focused on learning about pills; aside from enjoying himself, he only refined pills and had never experienced life and death. Suddenly being asked to have a Life-and-Death Pill Duel, he was naturally panicked.

Seeing Ji Wu's pale and cowardly look, the Chen Family Head slapped him across the face and said to Qin Ming:

"Qin Ming, I agree on behalf of Ji Wu. Starting tomorrow at noon, only life and death will be decided on the stage, nothing else."

"Let's go!" After saying this, the Chen Family Head led his people and quickly left the banquet.

They had lost face big time today!

He hadn't expected Ji Wu to be such a coward; even Qin Ming, a Pill Apprentice who hadn't studied Alchemy for long, had courage.

Ji Wu had studied Alchemy for so long, yet he was actually scared by 'death'.

Did he think that even in a normal Dao of Alchemy competition, he would survive if he lost?

Even if I were merciful enough to let him go, City Lord Qian would not.

How many Pill Shops were there in Liu City? Having lost these forty best-located Pill Shops, what would they use to fight the Qin Family?

If the competition is lost, who else would die if not him, a lowly Pill Apprentice?
