itch

"Ah! My heart itches! My limbs itch! Even my head is starting to itch!" The Old Man in White Robes no longer had any intention of continuing his Alchemy. He was itching all over his body and could not control his hands, making it impossible for him to perform Alchemy.

At this moment, he realized that everything Qin Ming had said was true; the poison had already spread throughout his entire body.

"I don't want to die! I am a Pill Saint, I still need to achieve a Breakthrough to Martial Venerable, I don't want to die…" The White-Robed Pill Saint's eyes bulged, his hands clawing at his throat, and he was struggling to breathe.

"Qin Ming, what Cultivation Technique did you use? Stop it immediately!" Below, Zhang Chongtian saw the old man collapse, stood up in a panic, and pointed at Qin Ming, shouting loudly.

"What Cultivation Technique?" Qin Ming sneered. "If I had used a Cultivation Technique, wouldn't all the spectators here have noticed? On the contrary, you seem to be jumping around quite happily; do you also want to come up here and have a competition?"

"You!" Zhang Chongtian pointed his finger at Qin Ming, too furious to speak.

Seeing the White-Robed Pill Saint lying on the ground, already gasping his last breaths, Zhang Chongtian disregarded everything and shouted loudly: "Qin Ming, quickly give him the antidote! If he dies, don't think you'll survive either. No matter what Power or Family you have, they will all be buried with you."

He didn't want to do something so shameful, but the importance of a Pill Saint to the Pill Alliance forced him to act this way.

The status of a Pill Saint was even higher than his own.

If the Pill Saint died, he would certainly be held accountable.

And there was also the divine artifact alchemy furnace on the Pill Saint; it was a treasure of the Pill Alliance. Besides the one Qin Ming had obtained, this was the only other one, and it could not be lost.

"What, you can't win at Alchemy, so you want to fight with martial arts?" Qin Ming sneered, looking at Zhang Chongtian. He had long known what kind of people they were.

"So what if I do!" Zhang Chongtian roared. If they kept Qin Ming here, the worst that could happen was that the Pill Alliance would lose face and become the laughingstock of the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

But if he let Qin Ming leave, not only would the Pill Alliance become a laughingstock, they would also lose two divine artifact alchemy furnaces.

Furthermore, the Pill Alliance would gain a terrifying enemy. He could tell that Qin Ming's Alchemy skills were superb; it was very likely that the perfect elixir sold by Shadow was refined by him.

Therefore, even if it meant offending everyone present today, he would spare no cost to keep Qin Ming here.

He no longer wanted to test Qin Ming's background. So what if he was strong? Could he really be stronger than a Martial Venerable?

Moreover, he had just received orders from the Martial Venerable of the Pill Alliance that he must keep Qin Ming here now to avoid any complications.

"Hurry up and save him, or you die!" Zhang Chongtian shouted, pointing at the fallen White-Robed Pill Saint. For a moment, Zhang Chongtian felt high-spirited, as if he were directing the fate of the world.

Among all the Powers present, only they had the Martial Venerable of the Pill Alliance on the scene; who else could compare to them?

"Shameless, absolutely shameless. This is the Pill Alliance for you; they even cheat in a life-or-death Alchemy duel. Truly shameless."

"What can you do about it! Who told the Pill Alliance to be so powerful."

"It's not the first time I've seen the true faces of these people, but it is the first time I've seen them act so brazenly in public. It's somewhat surprising."

"…"

On the field, all the spectators felt that Zhang Chongtian was shameless, but they also knew that the Pill Alliance was not to be trifled with, and that since Zhang Chongtian dared to act this way, he must have a backup plan.

One had to know that the person standing on the field was the Huayu Emperor, known as the number one person below the Martial Venerable.

Furthermore, there was no need for them to offend the Pill Alliance for the sake of Qin Ming.
