Zhang Ba also asked: "What are the conditions!"
After a slight pause, Qin Rufeng did not say what the conditions were, but only said: "You only need to know that I will do these things for you and that you need a condition. But as for the specific conditions, we can discuss them after Master Wei and your father have fully recovered."
Then he squatted down on the ground and looked at Wei Zhenyang and Zhang Ba with a profound look on his face: "This poison, is called Dispersing Technique. Originally, it was a situation where some of the healing profound practitioners would have their meridians clogged up, which was why this kind of scattering technique appeared.
However, over time, the medicine had been modified by someone and now it became a poison. Furthermore, this poison may not be as strong as the other poisons, but no matter how great the benefit of this poison is, it still has a certain period of incubation time. "
And listening to what you just said, the two of you felt something strange in your bodies when you saw each other's people scattering out clouds of smoke-like powder in the sky on a full moon night in the Great Heavenly Moon Forest.
However, the reality was that this powder would only show the earliest signs of symptoms after three days of continuous consumption.
So my guess is that you have already been secretly consumed by some people in the dark. However, you didn't discover this poison until the full moon night.
Therefore, the two of you think that the other party has poisoned you. Secondly, the contradiction between your two powers lies in one person, and that is the rank 6 alchemist that you speak of. The most suspicious thing is that even though all of you kept saying that there was a Grade Six Alchemist, none of you had ever seen one.
The peddlers were all in Spirit County. However, they needed to prove themselves by passing the message to each other on behalf of the two forces' tokens. Wasn't this just trying to cover it up?!
Were the two of you relying on keepsakes to transmit information to us? "
Qin Rufeng turned his head and asked.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to have understood something at the same time. They shook their heads and said, "At that time, our pill shop and Zhang Ji were like a family, how could we need a token representing our forces to prove the authenticity of the news? Furthermore, we are both in Spirit County, even if we have doubts about the news, it would only take a few incense sticks of time to arrive."
Wei Zhenyang explained with a grave expression.
This was because what Qin Rufeng had said earlier was precisely the details that they had neglected for so many years, and also the crux of this matter. After saying these words, the two of them who had been lost for so many years put down their resentment towards each other, as if they had found a path that they had overlooked before in Qin Rufeng's words.
Qin Rufeng looked at the two of them who were enlightened, and continued to speak with a smile: "That's right, since the two forces do not need a keepsake to pass on their keepsake to each other, then this message requires a keepsake to prove themselves, isn't this exactly what people want?
Furthermore, I have heard that there are only three pieces of this keepsake: one from Zhang Ji's master, one from the owner of the pill shop, and the other that was lost in the process of transporting the herbs several years ago. You don't even know where it is!
Since you lost two of the three tokens, then what you saw was the third one.
The reason why I have told you all this is because I want to tell you all that the pill shop was no longer an iron plate.
"Even Zhang Shu must have had some internal instability before that happened."
At this moment, Qin Rufeng was looking at the two of them with a smile that was not a smile. He was waiting for their reply.
Zhang Ba was the first to speak: "You mean, both my medicinal plants and that pill shop had spies?"
Qin Rufeng couldn't help but find it a little funny when he heard Zhang Ba's question, but he still replied indifferently: "Do you think so?"
Wei Zhenyang shook his head and said, "Dao Friend Qin is right. Before this happened, there were indeed some disagreements among the higher-ups in our pill shop. In the end, the disagreements became even bigger. Even the usually talkative Owner had a headache.
At that time, there was actually a human-made pill in our pill shop. Normally, some of the raw materials for refining pills came from heaven and earth treasures, and there are also some parts of demonic beasts that have spiritual energy.
However, there was actually a higher ups in our pill shop who used living people to concoct pills. We did not know about this matter at the beginning, but later on, the rumors in the pill shop regarding this matter continued and became more and more intense.
After a round of probing, he found out that this phenomenon really existed. Furthermore, it wasn't just one person, but a group of apothecaries using this method to concoct pills.
The person in the lead is the Owner's fellow disciples, which is our Vice Pavilion Master, Gao Ming. At that time, his alchemy stage was already infinitely close to that of a Grade Five Advanced Alchemist. In fact, the number of alchemists under his command had already surpassed one third of the alchemists listed in the entire alchemy shop.
This matter had greatly angered the owner. Only those barbarian clans could use living people to refine pills. Alchemists were the most noble profession in the entire continent, excluding cultivators.
After much deliberation, the owner decided to seal the shop off.
However, the power that Gao Ming had at that time was enough to completely shake the foundations of the pill shop. The owner had directly arranged for Gao Shen to undergo the Pill Competition in this Pill Dojo.
At that time, almost all of the pill refiners in the pill shop came to the Pill Dojo, preparing to witness the pill competition between the two top pill refiners in the pill shop.
And this Pill Arena, the only Grade Five Alchemist in the entire of Mo Xi, was built that very night.
On the day of the Pill Duel, that beast, Gao Ming, had unexpectedly brought one hundred boys and fifty girls out of nowhere. He wanted to use these one hundred and fifty boys to refine pills.
However, in order to make Gao Ming convinced by his defeat and in order for more people to live on in the future, our Owner could only endure the pain in his heart and compete with Gao Ming in pill refining.
He originally thought that he would definitely win, but at the very last moment, the scales of victory tilted. This was because the reason why Gao Ming chose to use living people to refine pills was because the living people's popularity could help increase the intelligence of the pills.
"There are even some people who are full of vigor who can forcefully raise the quality of their pills by a level or two."
