Chapter 70: Appearance of the Chen Family Alchemist

"This Medicinal Pill… is actually quite tasty."

One had to admit, perhaps Qin Ming had failed in his Alchemy, or perhaps Qin Ming had a sudden change of heart, but this Medicinal Pill was like a rice ball—unexpectedly delicious.

The people below the competition stage watched Ji Wu eating with such relish, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

They hadn't eaten yet, and the competition had been long, so their stomachs were empty. Seeing Ji Wu eating so happily, they couldn't help but want to eat as well.

The reason Ji Wu was eating with such gusto was, for one thing, that he was truly hungry.

Having been purging for an hour, his stomach was completely empty, and he had been hungry for a long time.

Another reason was that this Medicinal Pill refined by Qin Ming was genuinely delicious, and he couldn't help but enjoy it.

Qin Ming looked at Ji Wu with pity. This was Ji Wu's last meal, and Qin Ming didn't mind making something tasty for him.

The judge also swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said loudly:

"Alright, now that Ji Wu has consumed the Medicinal Pill refined by Qin Ming, you may begin refining the detoxification pill."

After Ji Wu finished the Medicinal Pill, he remained stunned in place. The Medicinal Pill was delicious, yes, but what kind of poison was actually inside it?

Why couldn't he taste it at all? If one were to say it wasn't poisonous, Ji Wu would never believe it.

He still remembered Qin Ming's previous Medicinal Pill; his judgment had also been that it was non-poisonous.

But yet!

The air was still filled with waves of stench, and his stomach and that area were still aching faintly. All of this told him that the Medicinal Pill refined by Qin Ming had extraordinary effects and was incredibly poisonous.

What should he do?

Ji Wu was racking his brain for a solution.

Since there was no solution, he could only refine any random detoxification pill first; at the very least, it would provide some psychological comfort.

Thinking of this, Ji Wu immediately walked to the area where the spirit plants were placed and began to select them.

Ji Wu's expression was extremely serious. This involved his own life, so he couldn't afford not to be serious.

Qin Ming hummed a tune, watching Ji Wu calmly.

"Does Ji Wu know what poison he has been afflicted with?"

City Lord Qian frowned while looking at Ji Wu and asked indifferently.

The Chen Family Head shook his head and said uncertainly:

"I don't know either. However, Ji Wu's master is here, so we can ask him."

Ji Wu's master had been watching from the pavilion. He was an Alchemist and it was not convenient for him to get involved in the Power struggles of Liu City.

Currently, he was an outsider, only responsible for performing Alchemy for the Chen Family.

In this struggle for the Liu City Medicinal Pill market, no matter who won, he would be fine; at worst, he could just find a new employer.

If he were to participate in the struggles of Liu City, then the Pill Alliance would not protect him. At that point, he would be equivalent to boarding the Chen Family's pirate ship.

For an Alchemist who stood aloof from worldly affairs, this would be a huge loss.

Now that the competition was about to end, he came over to take a casual look. Since he wasn't interfering with the competition, no one could say anything.

Ji Wu's master was a Middle-aged Man with a pair of large ears.

He walked to the side of the Chen Family Head, nodded towards the City Lord and the Chen Family Head, and then looked towards Elder Qing.

Although he had never seen the Grand Alchemist from the Qin Family, he had a faint feeling that this was the legendary Elder Qing.

He couldn't help but nod towards Elder Qing, which counted as a greeting.

Elder Qing, of course, had also noticed the Alchemist of the Chen Family and looked over; their eyes met.

"An expert. At the very least, his Alchemy technique is far superior to mine. It seems Ji Wu is doomed this time!"

The Chen Family Alchemist and Elder Qing exchanged a look, and he had a judgment in his heart.

This Elder Qing was definitely an expert; in terms of Aura, he was even stronger than his own master.
