Chapter 115: Deception
the pallor on his face had been replaced by a flush, and the fear in his eyes had been replaced by determination.It's a pity that his strength was simply too weak. He was only at the fifth level of t...At the sound of "Bai Caotang," even Jiang Yun, along with everyone else present, instantly understood what was happening.
The long queue that constantly lined up outside the Many-Drug Hall naturally caught the attention of other shops on Xiu Yuan Street, especially a pharmacy called Bai Cao Tang.
There aren't many apothecaries on Xiulian Street, besides Duoyaoge, there are only two others, and they are larger than Duoyaoge.
The largest one is called Yaoshénzhái, which belongs to the Yaoshénzong.
At first, Jiang Yun's plan was to enter Yaoshhen Zhai as a young apprentice. After all, his master had said that Yaoshengzong could cure the poison in his third senior brother's body. If he could sneak into their pharmacy, maybe he could concoct an antidote. Unfortunately, they wouldn't even look at him.
Another pharmacy, called "Baicao Tang," was opened by a sect known as "Baicao Gu."
Although the sect's strength and skill in pharmacy are inferior to Yaoshenzong, Baicao Valley and the Luo family have a very good relationship.
Although Yaoshending had noticed Jiang Yun's practice of providing free medical treatment and detoxification, they didn't take it to heart. As the most powerful pharmacy sect on Wushan Island, they were not worried that the small DuoYaoGe would steal their business.
But Caibaitang is different. After all, they can't be compared to Yaosheng Zhai. The popularity of Duoyaoge has more or less affected their business, so this scene happened.
But no matter what, Du Guirong's reputation really took some people by surprise.
To know that an alchemist's identity is incredibly honorable, they normally wouldn't appear in public. However, a second-rank alchemist has actually arrived now.
The middle-aged man's face instantly lit up with joy. "So it's Master Du, the master alchemist of Bai Caotang!" he exclaimed.
But then, the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "But I don't have enough spirit stones on me. I'm afraid I can't afford to hire you!"
Du Gui rong coldly said: "I'm not here for spirit stones! I heard that there was a divine physician appearing here, so I came to have a look. If it really is a divine physician, then fine, but I'm worried that some people who don't understand are pretending to be divine physicians and deceiving the world, damaging the reputation of us as medical practitioners!"
"Reach out your hand!"
While speaking, Du Gui Rong's gaze remained fixed on Jiang Yun.
Xia Shi, who always stayed behind the counter, several times couldn't help but want to rush forward, but Xia Zhongxing held her back firmly.
Xia Shi jumped up and down anxiously, "Father! Don't you go help Brother Gu"
Xia Zhongxing, however, remained calm and said: "Don't be hasty, let's wait and see!"
At this point, Ginger Cloud knew what was going on in their hearts. However, he didn't feel like arguing, so he just stood there and watched the two of them.
Du Gui Rong had already reached out and grabbed the middle-aged man's wrist. After only a few breaths, he suddenly turned his head and glared at Jiang Yun: "What a quack doctor! There is clearly corpse grass poison in this man's body, yet you say he is fine!"
As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone present was taken aback. The middle-aged man's face changed dramatically as he said: "I said I had poison in my body and had seen many doctors, but they couldn't tell what it was. I didn't expect it to be the Corpse Grass poison. Fortunately, I met Master Du. Master Du, am I still saved"
"Meeting the old man, there's naturally salvation!"
Jiang Yun's pupils constricted slightly. The poison of the corpse grass was indeed difficult to detect, but if the other party truly had it in their body, he would be impossible not to notice.
Thinking of this, he took a step forward and once again grabbed the middle-aged man's wrist. A stream of spiritual energy flowed into the other person's body, and his brows furrowed instantly.
Inside the other's body, there was indeed a trace of extremely faint Corpsegrass poison.
Although Jiang Yun didn't dare to call himself a divine doctor, he was still quite confident in his special abilities. He believed that he absolutely couldn't have been wrong just now.
Just now it wasn't poisonous, now it is. There's only one possibility: the poison from this corpse grass has just been generated!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun suddenly raised his head and looked at Du Guirong and the middle-aged man. A cold light flashed in his eyes, but he silently loosened his wrist and stepped aside: "There is indeed Corpse Grass poison in this person's body. My medical skills are not high, and I didn't see it just now. Since Master Du can cure it, please go to another place to detoxify!"
Although he knew exactly what was going on, there were less than three months until the birthday of the Luo family ancestor. By then, Jiang Yun would have to leave this Multi-herb Pavilion, so for now, he didn't want to needlessly provoke trouble.
"Change places!" Du Guirong sneered. "There's no such thing as a free lunch. As a second-rank alchemist, how could I stand by and watch someone like you quack medicine around here!"
"I don't know who taught you this half-baked medical practice, but you dare to come out and pretend to be a divine doctor! What you're doing is, at best, unethical, and at worst, it's endangering people's lives!"
"Let me tell you, today unless you give us a satisfactory explanation, then this Multi-Medicine Pavilion has no need to continue existing in Nánxīng City!"
Looking at the imposing Du Guirong before him, Jiang Yun couldn't possibly misunderstand the other party's true intentions. Though he didn't want to cause trouble, it didn't mean he was afraid of it.
Moreover, today's matter is no longer just about him, but also involves Multiple Medicine Pavilion. In addition, the other party's words were disrespectful to his grandfather, so his eyes narrowed slightly, and a gleam of ferocity flashed in them. He said: "I wonder, what kind of explanation do you want me to give you"
"Return all the spirit stones you have cheated these days, then sever one finger and swear an oath that you will never again touch alchemy or medicine in this life or the next. And get out of Nánxīng City, never to set foot within it again!"
This statement, even if heard by others, would cause them to furrow their brows and shake their heads in disapproval. Such a severe consequence is simply too harsh, even if Jiang Yun were truly a fraud.
Jiang Yun listened and wanted to laugh out loud even more. This Du Gui Rong was only a second-rank alchemist, yet he dared to be so arrogant here, brazenly claiming to punish him!
But just then, Xia Zhongxing, who had never spoken a word, suddenly stepped out. He bowed to Du Gui Rong and said, "Master Du, my younger brother is still young and it's normal to make mistakes. Could you please spare him this time I apologize on his behalf to everyone."
Du Gui-rong said coldly, "Your thin face Xia Zhong-xing, as a first-rank alchemist, seeing this kid swindle people, not only don't you stop him, but you also allow him to treat illnesses and detoxify in your shop, clearly colluding with him! You have tarnished the reputation of our alchemists! Do you still have the face to mention it"
As for the insults and accusations hurled at Du Guirong, Xia Zhongxing remained unfazed. "I wonder, Master Du, what it would take for you to let go of Old Brother"
After sizing Xia Zhongxing up and down, Du Guirong's face suddenly flashed a hint of a sinister smile: "Since you want to stand up for him, then I'll give you a chance. As alchemists, we should resolve this the way alchemists do—a Dan Dou!"
First published on Taiwan Novels Networkch was shrouded in dark clouds. Although his face remained obscured, a powerful aura of wariness suddenly emanated from his tall frame. He spoke coldly, "It won't be long now!"After finishing his word...
