C251 The Bet
At that moment, one of the dozen or so people who had come to look for trouble appeared. He held a bottle of Replenishing Pill in his hand and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, don't fall for it again. Yesterday, I bought a bottle of Replenishing Pill here. I said it was a high-grade pill and inspected it on the spot. However, this morning, I discovered that the high-grade pills inside had all turned into middle-grade pills! This means that this person is a profiteer. He is lying to us!"
When the other cultivators heard this, their footsteps slowed down and they began to hesitate.
Feng Yimo smiled. He didn't even want to frame them.
"Wait a minute. You said that this bottle of Spirit Replenishing Pills was purchased from me. Do you have any proof?" Feng Yimo asked with a smile.
"Of course. The two people around me came together." The man raised his neck and said with certainty.
"Can you open it for me to see?" Feng Yimo asked again.
The man looked serious. He held the bottle tightly. "Do you want to destroy the evidence?"
Feng Yimo shook his head and smiled. "Can you pour one out and let me see?"
The man hesitated for a moment, but the cultivators next to him stopped and shouted, "Give it to him! If you don't dare to give it to him, it means you have a guilty conscience!"
"That's right, that's right, we can't just listen to your side of the story, you're saying that a middle-grade pill is a middle-grade pill?" The others chimed in one after another.
The man opened the bottle and took out a Spirit Replenishing Pill. Feng Yimo caught it and sniffed it. He shook his head and said, "This is indeed a middle-grade Spirit Replenishing Pill."
The man looked proud. "Look, he admitted it himself. Hurry up and compensate us for our losses."
Feng Yimo said, "Don't worry. Finish what you have to say. This pill is a middle-grade Essence Replenishing Pill. It's not refined by me. Moreover, the refining time has already been two years and three months. And all of my spirit pills are refined within three months. Especially the Essence Replenishing Pill, it was refined within five days! "
"Nonsense! Yesterday, you sold a total of 38 bottles of Essence Replenishing Pills. Even if you don't sleep for five days, you still won't be able to complete it! This time, your lies are exposed, right?" That person seemed to have grasped the loophole in Feng Yimo's words all of a sudden. His expression was excited. He waved his hands and said, "Everyone, anyone who has experienced alchemy knows about it. Refining pills takes at least six hours. At most four batches per day, at most twenty batches per five days. He sold thirty-eight bottles of Replenishing Pills. His lie broke itself! "
His words resonated with the crowd. They started whispering amongst themselves and nodded their heads one after another.
Feng Yimo smiled coldly and did not speak. He waited for the man to turn around proudly before he slowly said, This brother here has a faint medicinal fragrance, which means that you should be an apothecary yourself. Right?
The man raised his neck and said arrogantly, "Of course. I am Mu Liangcheng, a 3-star apothecary!"
"What? He is Mu Liangcheng?"
"So what he said is true? " We've all been fooled? "
"Mu Liangcheng is one of the famous alchemists in Huangfeng City. He's only one step away from advancing to the Grandmaster of Alchemy. What he said can't be false!"
The people below discussed animatedly. Obviously, this person called Mu Liangcheng had quite a bit of prestige in Huangfeng City. Those below Rank-3 were alchemists, while those above Rank-4 were Grandmasters. It was not easy for him to become a high-level alchemist of the third tier.
"Since Alchemist Mu has such prestige, I wonder how long it will take for him to concoct a batch of high grade Spirit Replenishing Pills?" Feng Yimo ignored the discussions below and asked.
"Hmph, this alchemist can control a batch for four hours. Even if you have reached the level of this alchemist, you will not be able to concoct 38 batches of high-grade Spirit Replenishing Pills in five days. After all, you still need to rest. It is impossible for you to concoct pills for five days and five nights without rest!" Mu Liangcheng said.
Feng Yimo waved his finger. "No, no. Alchemist Mu doesn't understand what I mean. I mean, I only need an hour to concoct a batch of high grade Replenishing Pills!"
What?
It wasn't just Mu Liangcheng who was stunned. Everyone present was dumbfounded. Suddenly, Mu Liangcheng burst into laughter. "You're bragging too much, aren't you? Even an alchemy grandmaster can't refine a batch of high-grade Spirit Replenishing Pills in an hour!"
"Alright then. Let's make a bet on the spot. Do you, Mu Liangcheng, dare to make a bet?" Feng Yimo looked at Mu Liangcheng with a smile and asked.
More and more people gathered around to watch the show. They surrounded the courtyard so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out. All of them craned their necks to look at Mu Liangcheng.
When the group of people who came with Mu Liangcheng saw that Mu Liangcheng was still hesitating, they urged him, "Alchemist Mu, make a bet with him. We will accompany you to place your bet. Don't be afraid!" Everyone thought that there was profit to be gained, so they naturally would not miss such an opportunity.
The leading fatty took a step forward and looked at Feng Yimo with a cold smile. "Since the bet has been set, we need to decide the outcome. I wonder what will happen if you lose? What is the bet?"
Feng Yimo laughed. He took out a bottle of medicine and opened it gently. A medicinal fragrance immediately spread out.2
"This is a Fourth Level Middle Rank Spirit Pill that can increase one's lifespan by a hundred years!" Someone recognized the pill and exclaimed.
"What?! It's a Longevity Pill?" Mu Liangcheng's eyes lit up. The others were also filled with greed. A hundred year increase in longevity was not a short period of time. A hundred years was not a short period of time. A hundred years would allow one to do many things, and perhaps one would be able to step into a new realm!
"The bet is a Longevity Increasing Pill! If I lose, the Longevity Increasing Pill will be the winner. There are a total of twelve Longevity Increasing Pills here. Who would be willing to bet with me?" Feng Yimo closed the bottle, looked at the crowd and asked.
"Me!" Mu Liangcheng raised his arm and shouted.
"Me too!"
"Me!"
Eleven people jumped out of the dozen or so people who came with Mu Liangcheng. Each of them rubbed their fists and looked like they were determined to win. In their opinion, Feng Yimo had no chance of winning, but they had completely ignored it. If he did not have a chance of winning, would Feng Yimo be stupid enough to take out such precious panaceas as a bet for no reason? Their eyes were all captivated by the Longevity Increasing Pill.
A Longevity Increasing Pill was worth more than a million spirit stones!
"Then what are your chips?" Feng Yimo asked with a smile.
Mu Liangcheng gritted his teeth and took out two medicinal Fourth Level Spiritual Medicines. One of them was the Jin Jue Ming required for the Tongming Pill.
Just as Feng Yimo was about to mock him, he suddenly discovered that there was a trace of blood between the leaves of the other fire grass stalk. If it was not for the small success of the medicinal Heavenly Eye Pupil, he would not have discovered that there was another mystery behind it. He hurriedly changed his words and said, "Mu Liang is a pill master. Aren't two mere medicinal Fourth Level Spiritual Medicines a little too little?"
Mu Liangcheng revealed an ashamed expression. He took out a medicinal Storage Bag and said, "There are still 200,000 spirit stones inside. I think that you are not interested in level three spirit medicines."
Feng Yimo thought for a moment and said, "If there is one more golden herb, you can have it."
"Okay," Feng Yimo said. Mu Liangcheng took out another Golden Absolute Ming.
The others took out all kinds of treasures, but there was no other spirit medicine required for the Tongming Pill. Feng Yimo was still very satisfied.
Since the bet was already completed, Feng Yimo brought out the medicinal Golden Light Furnaces and all the ingredients needed to refine the Essence Replenishing Pill in front of everyone. He did not release the medicinal Asura Black Core Flames, but instead took out a few Third Grade medicinal Fire Talismans. Using the medicinal Fire Talismans as the source of fire, he began refining the medicinal Fire Talismans.
Under everyone's gaze, Feng Yimo threw the thirty over ingredients required for the Replenishing Pill into the medicinal Golden Light Furnaces. He activated the flames and carried out the purification, removal of dregs, liquefaction, mixing, and forming process in front of everyone's eyes and mouths.
