178: C178 Offend

C178 Offend

This caused all the apothecaries to feel slightly uncomfortable. Initially, they were all revered apothecaries in the outside world, but now, they were being ignored in such a manner.

Even though it was Lin Cheng who was being ignored, and they should be secretly delighted in their hearts, but when they thought about how Lin Cheng was ranked first in the examination, and how he was being looked down upon, how did these Cultivating Warriors think of them?

"Hmph!"

Zhu Ziqiao's beautiful brows knitted tightly. Seeing Lin Cheng being looked down upon like this, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

However, Lin Cheng did not feel anything strange. He only patted Zhu Ziqiao's little hand, indicating that she did not need to be angry. Then, he calmly waited for the Cultivating Warrior to come back to pick herbs.

Not far away. Zhou Chuan kept glancing at Lin Cheng from time to time, but he found that Lin Cheng didn't look at him, nor did he respond.

The disciples of Unification Sect were pretty strong. A moment later, a few livestock were caught.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Lin Cheng pinched the leaves of a plant that looked like a three-leaf vine. The juice dripped into the mouth of a livestock, and then he fed the other livestock with the juice.

After waiting for half an incense stick of time, the little animal was still squeaking. It was just as panicked as before. The other animals were the same. Other than panicking, there was nothing else strange about it.

At this moment, most of the people had relaxed smiles on their faces. Since these little creatures were not poisoned, it meant that the plant that was similar to the Three Leaf Vine was at least very weak in toxicity, or maybe even not poisonous at all.

This also proved that Lin Cheng's judgment and method were correct.

"Pill Master Lin, what should we do next?" Tai Wenxing looked at Lin Cheng and asked.

"We can now try to identify the medicinal properties. If we are sure there are no problems, we can start concocting pills." Lin Cheng said.

"How do we differentiate the medicinal properties?"

Tai Wenxing immediately asked, "Do we need to taste it?"

Lin Cheng said, "This is the necessity of alchemists. All senior brothers only need to do is collect the herbs. Anyone who you think is a herb can be brought here. We will first use these animals to check if they are poisonous. After that, we will identify the medicinal properties. Then you can concoct pills."

Tai Wenxing immediately understood what Lin Cheng meant. At this moment, the importance of alchemists was obvious. They needed these alchemists.

"Alright!"

Tai Wenxing looked at Lin Cheng and nodded. "Do as Pill Master Lin says!"

Lin Cheng did not seem to see Tai Wenxing's eyes. He put the Three Leaves Vine on the ground in front of him. He said, "This is indeed the Three Leaf Vine, and it seems to be an evolved Three Leaf Vine. The properties of the vine didn't change, but it was more effective. If it was used to concoct pills... The pill's medicinal effects will be greatly enhanced."

"Is that so?!"

Tai Wenxing's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "You haven't even identified the medicinal effect yet, and you're already so sure?"

Lin Cheng said faintly, "I have already identified the medicinal properties."

Tai Wenxing couldn't help but feel stifled for a moment.

"Pill Master Lin, you have already identified the medicinal properties of this Three Leaf Vine just by sniffing it?" Tai Wenxing frowned slightly.

"That's right!"

Lin Cheng nodded and said, "This is the reason why alchemists like us exist. What does Senior Brother Tai think?"

"How dare you!"

Before Tai Wenxing could say anything, a Cultivating Warrior beside him scolded loudly, "Who gave you the courage to speak to Senior Brother Tai like this?!"

Tai Wenxing's expression wasn't too good either. Lin Cheng's rhetorical question was clearly not giving him any face.

"Pill Master Lin, don't you forget that I am responsible for the mission of exploring the secret realm." Tai Wenxing said in a deep voice, "I will be responsible for all of you brothers and bring all of you out of the secret realm safely. This is one of my missions!"

"I have never forgotten that I have been following Senior Brother Tai's orders ever since I entered the secret realm." Lin Cheng said with a calm expression.

Tai Wenxing was stunned once again. Lin Cheng's voice was not loud, and his expression was calm. However, his calm words made him speechless.

"If that's the case, isn't it a bit too hasty for you to judge the medicinal properties of the Three Leaf Vine so easily?" Tai Wenxing asked with an unhappy expression. Lin Cheng's neither soft nor hard attitude had made him somewhat angry.

"I will also consume the pill that I have refined. If I randomly judge the medicinal properties, then... Then, wouldn't I die as well?" Lin Cheng said faintly, "Furthermore, how to differentiate the medicinal properties is one of the most basic skills of an alchemist. Does Senior Brother Tai have any other questions? "

"You..."

Tai Wenxing's face darkened. He was about to lose his temper when he was suddenly interrupted.

"Senior Brother Tai, calm down!"

An alchemist hurriedly took a step forward and comforted him with a smile. It was Zhou Chuan.

He cupped his fists at Tai Wenxing and said, "Senior Brother Tai, Pill Master Lin was the first one to pass the final test. His skill in alchemy must be extraordinary. Therefore... It seems like he's a bit sloppy in identifying medicinal properties, but he must have had enough evidence to come up with such a conclusion."

Seeing that Tai Wenxing's expression was a little better, Zhou Chuan smiled again and said, "Moreover, taking ten thousand steps back, even if Pill Master Lin's judgment is a little flawed, that is definitely not because he has ulterior motives. With Pill Master Lin's skill in alchemy, if he can't even make a judgment, then we might not be able to make a judgment. "

Tai Wenxing frowned when he heard this. Of course, he could tell what Zhou Chuan was implying. Zhou Chuan was telling him that Lin Cheng was among the ten Mortal Pill Masters. Lin Cheng's skill in alchemy was the most profound. It was very likely that he had a skill that could determine the medicinal properties of the ___ based on what others did not understand.

Moreover, if Lin Cheng's judgment was wrong, there were still nine other Mortal Pill Master. Lin Cheng naturally could not speak nonsense in front of everyone.

"Senior Brother Tai might not know, but the person who was deliberately playing tricks just now is called Yan Wuqing. Back then, he participated in the alchemist examination with us, but his heart was evil. He was hated by others. This time, he had malicious intentions towards Pill Master Lin, because he had once been on bad terms with Pill Master Lin. He is filled with resentment and resentment! "

Zhou Chuan said with a smile, "So, when Pill Master Lin saw this man, he was angry in his heart, and his words were a little stiff. I hope Senior Brother Tai doesn't mind."

" Oh? You have a relationship with that Yan Wuqing?" Tai Wenxing looked at Lin Cheng and asked.

"It's not a relationship. It's Yan Wuqing's evil intentions. He provoked me maliciously, and even had ill intentions towards my fiancee!" Lin Cheng said.

Tai Wenxing did not say anything. He just gave him a deep look. After a moment, he nodded heavily and said, "Since all the alchemists are here, I will ask all of you to identify the medicinal properties and come to a conclusion."

These words meant that the matter had been resolved.

In fact, whether it was Tai Wenxing, Zhou Chuan or Lin Cheng, they were all very clear that this matter had never been resolved. It had only been temporarily suppressed.

Because, Tai Wenxing and the others still needed Lin Cheng and the others to concoct pills for them, especially since Lin Cheng was the one who had the highest skill in concocting pills among all the alchemists.

After Tai Wenxing completed his task, he turned around and left. Before he left, he didn't even look at Lin Cheng. Clearly, he was very unhappy in his heart.

"Brother, you are too impulsive."

Zhou Chuan said in a low voice, "Why did you offend Senior Brother Tai?"

Lin Cheng asked, "If I did not offend him, would he protect me?"

Zhou Chuan was speechless.

Just now, Yan Wuqing had recklessly attacked Lin Cheng, but Tai Wenxing only asked Yan Wudong to take good care of his brother, so this matter was put aside. From the beginning to the end, he didn't even try to comfort Lin Cheng. That biased attitude was too obvious.

If Lin Cheng had a conflict with Yan Wuqing again, even an idiot would know that Tai Wenxing would still side with him.

"But if you do that, once you finish concocting the pill, Senior Brother Tai might teach you a lesson." Zhou Chuan said in a low voice.

"That is something that will have to wait until the concoction is completed. Why do you need to think about that now?" Lin Cheng said in a flat tone.2

Zhou Chuan was stunned and shook his head with a bitter smile.

He suddenly felt some regret in his heart. He did not know whether it was right or wrong to ask Lin Cheng to join forces.

Lin Cheng didn't care about Zhou Chuan's worries at all. Because, he had deliberately provoked Tai Wenxing.

Tai Wenxing's favoritism towards Yan Wuqing and his disregard for Lin Cheng had made Lin Cheng realize that if he had any more conflicts with the Yan Wuqing brothers, Tai Wenxing would definitely stand on the Yan Wuqing brothers' side.

If there were only Yan Wuqing and his brother, Lin Cheng wouldn't have the slightest worry. Even if these two brothers attacked together, he was confident that he could fight them.

However, Lin Cheng was certain that Tai Wenxing would interfere in their conflict. This meant that the other Cultivating Warrior from the Unification Sect would stand on Yan Wuqing's side as well.

With this, even though he and Zhu Ziqiao were both Ninth Level of Chakra Stage warriors, if they were to face so many experts, they could only flee in panic.

Therefore, Lin Cheng didn't give Tai Wenxing any face, because he knew that... Even if he lowered his head and tried to curry favor with Tai Wenxing, he still looked down on Tai Wenxing. He would never stand in the middle, let alone help him deal with Yan Wuqing and his brother.

Since he would have to offend Tai Wenxing sooner or later, he might as well show his worth and let Tai Wenxing know that they could look down on him, but they would never dare to make him their enemy.

Apart from that, Lin Cheng also wanted to take the opportunity to test Zhou Chuan. He wanted to see how powerful Zhou Chuan's so-called alliance was.

Now, Zhou Chuan had indeed stood out to deal with them. However, the advice that Zhou Chuan expressed in his words was... It allowed Lin Cheng to understand that there was a limit to the number of people they could work together with. Once he had a conflict with the Yan Wuqing brothers, or even with Tai Wenxing... At that time, the only thing he could rely on was Zhu Ziqiao.

Regarding this, Lin Cheng wasn't surprised at all. From the very beginning, he hadn't thought of relying on Zhou Chuan. It was because he knew nothing about the Unification Sect and the secret realm, but Zhou Chuan was able to obtain a lot of information from his sister. This was the reason why he and Zhou Chuan had joined hands.

The facts proved that Lin Cheng's prediction was right. The agreement between Zhou Chuan and him was extremely fragile.

"Little girl!"

Lin Cheng looked at Zhu Ziqiao, who nodded in understanding.
