Chapter 73: Jue Xin

The Chen Family Head and City Lord Qian watched the triumphant Qin Ming, both with expressionless faces.

This time, the Chen Family not only lost the competition but also had a Pill Apprentice die.

They had also become the laughingstock of Liu City.

The Chen Family Head turned and left without a change in expression, while several Chen Family servants carried away the corpse of Ji Wu.

Originally, Ji Wu still held some status in the Chen Family; at the very least, his Alchemy skills were the best after Great Master Xiao, but now, he was dead.

Dead people have no value, so the Chen Family servants didn't care how they treated Ji Wu's corpse, carrying it carelessly.

"Ji Wu still has two concubines. Shall we go and have a taste tonight?"

"I've been burning for those two concubines for a long time. Ji Wu died well; if he hadn't died, how could we have gained the favor of the Family Head?"

The two small-minded men carried Ji Wu's corpse, laughing as they discussed it.

With the departure of the Chen Family members, this grand competition thus came to an end.

As the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, Daxia City was flourishing with flowers, bustling day and night, an absolute city that never sleeps.

Every inch of land in the city was worth its weight in gold; unless one was a noble of a powerful family, one simply had no qualifications to live within the city.

And within this Daxia City where every inch of land was worth gold, there was a luxurious mansion located in the central area of Daxia City.

"Jue Xin, your master is still alive!"

A Triangular-Eyed Man looked at the person organizing spirit plants and said in a deep voice.

"Oh!" The man who was organizing the spirit plants only responded with a light 'Oh' upon hearing this.

"Are you not afraid of your master's retaliation? You snatched his precious cauldron and even injured him!"

The Triangular-Eyed Man continued.

"Not afraid!" Jue Xin shook his head and said, "No one can survive under the Grade 7 Poison Dragon Pill. I can't, and my master certainly can't.

He probably doesn't even know he has been poisoned yet!

Since he is about to die, why should I, as his Disciple, go and disturb him?"

"Poison Dragon Pill!" The Triangular-Eyed Man's pupils constricted, and he exclaimed:

"You used the precious Poison Dragon Pill on him?

Do you know how precious the Poison Dragon Pill is? Why would you use such a precious Medicinal Pill on a half-crippled person?"

"Precious?" Jue Xin nodded, turned around, touched the ring on his hand, and said:

"It is indeed precious, but compared to the Divine Cauldron, what does it amount to?

Besides, my master's Dantian was destroyed by me, and his injuries must have worsened by now; his strength is likely only around that of a Great Martial Master, so what do I have to worry about?"

"If it weren't for my Poison Dragon Pill, I'd probably still be living in fear. Tell me, is it worth it?"

"Although the Poison Dragon Pill is a Grade 7 poison pill, it might still be cured. You must know that as long as it is a poison, there is a medicine that can cure it!"

The Triangular-Eyed Man said in a deep voice.

"Impossible!" Jue Xin shook his head and said:

"You are not an alchemist, so you don't understand. To cure the poison of the Poison Dragon Pill, one must use a Grade 9 Holy Dragon Pill.

Only the Holy Dragon Pill, which is touted to cure any poison below Divine Grade, could possibly cure my master's poison.

However, the Holy Dragon Pill is the most difficult Medicinal Pill to refine among the Grade 9 pills; no one in the world today can refine it.

Unless a Divine Alchemist takes action, my master will undoubtedly die."

"Since my master is undoubtedly going to die, why not wait until a year later to collect his corpse? Why do something unfilial now?"

A smile appeared on the Triangular-Eyed Man's face, and he felt slightly more at ease.

Since the principal party had said so, even if he still had some worries, it was not appropriate for him to directly refute it.
