Immortal God of War-Chapter 146: Setting a Trap_1

"You want to search my Qiankun Bag?"

"Not so fast."

"Fine. If it’s there, you can do what you want with it."

"But if it’s not, I don’t need an apology from you. Just give me ten sets of ingredients for the Vermilion Glazed Pills."

Qin Feiyang stated, his tone nonchalant.

However, something seemed off about his words.

The faces of Elder Wan and his companions twitched.

This little bastard certainly knows how to exploit a situation.

Elder He’s eyes narrowed slightly as he scrutinized Qin Feiyang for a moment. He noticed that Qin Feiyang appeared somewhat lacking in confidence.

This lad must be feigning composure! he concluded.

A smirk spread across his face. "I insist on searching your Qiankun Bag today. If I find nothing, I’ll personally deliver ten sets of ingredients for Vermilion Glazed Pills to you!"

"Are you sure?"

Qin Feiyang frowned, his unease becoming more apparent, even appearing slightly panicked.

"I’m sure!" Elder He stated, stern and unwavering.

Qin Feiyang turned to Elder Wan and the beautiful woman, cupping his hands. "I hope you two Seniors will bear witness."

"We’d be happy to." Elder Wan nodded.

In fact, they were also eager to know whether this impish youngster had orchestrated the pillaging of the Elixir King Palace’s medicinal fields.

Qin Feiyang chuckled.

Without hesitating, he pulled out his Qiankun Bag, took Blue Snow out, and passed the bag to Elder He.

Elder He caught the Qiankun Bag, and after a quick look, pulled out a piece of paper. He asked, frowning, "Who gave you this Elixir Formula for Vermilion Glazed Pills?"

Qin Feiyang replied calmly, "I refuse to answer questions unrelated to the medicinal ingredients."

A flash of icy light appeared in Elder He’s eyes, but he continued with his inspection.

Soon enough, he extracted another Qiankun Bag from the original one.

This was the bag Lin Han had given to Qin Feiyang.

Elder He declared solemnly, "There are at least four or five million Gold Coins in here. How could a mere martial master like you possess such wealth?"

Elder Jing speculated, "Isn’t it obvious? He must have stolen our medicinal herbs and sold them!"

Shi Zheng snorted, "Bullshit! These Gold Coins were given to Jian Haotian by Lin Han. I was there and saw everything!"

"Lin Han actually gave him such a large amount of gold?" Elder Wan and the beautiful woman looked at each other, shocked and in disbelief.

"Honestly," Qin Feiyang said. "Fatty and Lu Hong only arrived at the Martial King Palace a little more than an hour ago. Even if we really stole your herbs, there wouldn’t have been enough time to sell them. If you can’t even grasp this simple fact, I genuinely worry about your intelligence."

Qin Feiyang sighed deeply, contempt in his eyes as he looked at Elder He and Elder Jing.

Elder He warned, "Don’t be too cocky too soon!"

Soon enough, he found a large amount of medicinal herbs in the Qiankun Bag and sneered, "There are hundreds of thousands of herbs in here. How do you explain that?"

Actually, some of these herbs were from Qin Feiyang’s pillaging of the Black Bear City Lord’s treasury. The rest were ten thousand healing pills and ten thousand Bone-renewing Pills he had purchased from the Treasure Pavilion that afternoon.

Yet Elder He presumed these were the stolen herbs from the fields.

Jia Hei and Elder Jing also sneered, thinking they had caught Qin Feiyang red-handed.

However, Qin Feiyang didn’t look the least bit disturbed. He beckoned, "Come, take out all those herbs."

"I want to see what other tricks you’re trying to pull." Elder He laughed coldly, stepped back a few paces, and poured out a huge pile of herbs. The multicolored pile, resembling a small mountain, had an overpowering aroma.

Qin Feiyang stepped forward, picked up a herb, and nonchalantly said, "Open your eyes wide and take a good look at the soil on their roots. Does it look like they were freshly pulled out of the fields?"

That seemed to awaken them from a dream!

Elder He instantly realized that he had committed a rookie mistake.

Medicinal herbs absorbed the Essence of the heavens and the earth to grow. Whether they were cultivated in the soil or stored in a Qiankun Bag, they would not wilt or rot.

That is to say, this pile of herbs and those pulled fresh from the fields would look pretty much the same.

But there was a way to tell them apart: the soil on their roots!

Freshly pulled herbs would, of course, have fresh soil on them.

But the roots of these herbs had almost no soil left on them, and they were totally dry.

That clearly indicated that they had been pulled out quite a long time ago.

The Elixir King Palace’s medicinal fields, on the other hand, had been pillaged more than two hours ago.

It was obvious these weren’t the herbs from the fields.

Furthermore, the soil couldn’t have been dried by alchemical fire either.

Because the moment the herbs come into contact with alchemical fire, they would wilt!

And so, the three Elders’ faces were as pale as death.

Seriously, this was basic knowledge. Even an idiot would have thought about it. But we completely overlooked it! Utterly humiliating!

Qin Feiyang asked casually, "Well? Do you still dare to claim these herbs as yours?"

The beautiful woman laughed, "This must be the most ridiculous thing in the world!"

The three of them had never felt such embarrassment before. They were blushing so hard that they wished they could disappear into a crack in the floor.

Qin Feiyang probed, "Are you done with your search?"

Elder He, his face dark and forbidding, took another careful look before reluctantly throwing the Qiankun Bag back to Qin Feiyang.

After stowing all the herbs away, Qin Feiyang asked with an amused smile, "Do you wish to conduct a body search now?"

Elder He snapped, "Don’t push your luck!"

"Have I?" Qin Feiyang looked genuinely innocent.

Elder He gnashed his teeth in hatred, saying solemnly, "If I’m not mistaken, you still have one place where you can hide things."

A sense of alarm rose in Qin Feiyang’s heart, but he nodded, saying, "No problem, you can search. But this time, the price won’t just be ten sets of Vermilion Glazed Pill ingredients; it’ll be twenty."

Even though he agreed readily, his demeanor betrayed some unease.

Upon seeing this, Elder He’s gaze turned somber to the extreme.

Now he finally understood. The unease Qin Feiyang had shown before was completely feigned; he had been setting a trap.

All to procure Vermilion Glazed Pill ingredients from him!

I can’t let him succeed again, otherwise I will lose thirty sets of ingredients! Elder He thought.

Thinking that Qin Feiyang was feigning again, he decisively gave up on inspecting the old castle.

In reality, the medicinal materials were indeed in the old castle.

This was where Qin Feiyang demonstrated his brilliance. True or false, reality or illusion, he had completely disrupted Elder He’s judgment.

Elder He also realized that there wouldn’t be a resolution to this matter today.

Without evidence, anything he could say would be useless.

On the contrary, he would only end up making a fool of himself.

He didn’t want to continue humiliating himself in the Martial King Palace.

"Jian Haotian, the future is long. We will see," he threatened openly. Glancing at Fatty and Lu Hong, he commanded, "The two of you, follow me back to the Elixir King Palace immediately!"

With that, he turned around, prepared to leave.

However, Fatty made no move to follow.

He pulled out his Identity Token, sneered, and said, "I’m sorry, Master Fatty formally withdraws from the Elixir King Palace. I can no longer serve you lot, nor do I wish to."

"What?" Elder He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and stared at Fatty with a gloomy expression, saying, "What did you say? Say that again?"

"Master Fatty has done all he could to persuade Jian Haotian," Fatty declared.

"But what about you? Instead of rewarding Master Fatty, you have come here to defame me. Master Fatty really can’t afford to provoke people like you."

"So, it’s best if Master Fatty accepts the reality and gets the hell out."

With that, Master Fatty clenched his fist hard. CRACK! The Identity Token instantly shattered into powder.

The eyes of Elder He, Jia Hei, and Elder Jing followed the disintegration of Fatty’s Identity Token and turned terrifyingly frosty.

It was a gaze that promised deadly vengeance!

"I also withdraw from the Elixir King Palace." After struggling for a moment, Lu Hong took out her Identity Token and crushed it.

She had no other choice.

If I return to the Elixir King Palace, they will undoubtedly subject me to harsh interrogation, and the end result will be death.

But by withdrawing from the Elixir King Palace, even though I might incur their wrath, at least I’ll keep a glimmer of hope for survival.

The actions of these two greatly angered the trio.

If Elder Wan and the beautiful woman were not present, they really would have committed murder on the spot!

Fatty and Lu Hong, somewhat frightened, hid behind Qin Feiyang.

Because, in Yan City, Qin Feiyang was their only support.

Qin Feiyang felt bitter inside.

Great. Now, Elder He and his gang will undoubtedly misunderstand again and think that I encouraged Fatty and Lu Hong to leave the Elixir King Palace.

"AHEM!" He coughed dryly and said with a smile, "Honored Elders, although we haven’t found the real culprit who plundered the medicinal field, we’ve at least cleared up the misunderstanding between us. Why don’t you stay and enjoy some bear paws together in celebration?"

"PTOO!" Elder Jing spat out another mouthful of old blood.

"Oh dear!" Qin Feiyang’s expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "You’re spitting blood?! Come, quickly eat a bear paw to revive yourself. After all, you put in so much effort to get it."

"Jian! Hao! Tian!" Elder Jing spelled out each syllable in a low, furious roar, looking ready to lose control of his anger.

"Let’s go!" Elder He swept a cold glance over Qin Feiyang, Fatty, and Lu Hong, his anger boiling over, and shot like a bolt of light into the sky and away.

Jia Hei, carrying Elder Jing, quickly followed behind him.

Qin Feiyang shouted after him, "Elder He, remember to send over those ten sets of Vermilion Glazed Pill ingredients soon!"

Elder He’s elderly body shook slightly and he muttered in a low voice, "Jia Hei, once we’re back, immediately send someone in disguise to monitor the Martial King Palace. As soon as they leave, seize the opportunity to eliminate them!"

"Yes." Jia Hei nodded, his old eyes glittering with murderous intent.

Then, without uttering a single word, the three of them quickly vanished into the night.

"PHEW!" Qin Feiyang inwardly let out a long breath of relief. He had finally defused this crisis.

Elder Wan turned his gaze back and frowned, "Tell me the truth. Did you guys loot the medicinal field of the Elixir King Palace or not?"

"Truly not." Fatty shook his head, a picture of innocence.

Elder Wan looked at the three of them in turn and smiled, "As long as you didn’t do it, feel free to stay in the Martial King Palace."

"Thank you, Elder Wan!" Lu Hong quickly bowed in gratitude.

"If the people of the Elixir King Palace were all as good as you, Elder Wan, it wouldn’t have come to this." Fatty shook his head and sighed, cleverly flattering Elder Wan.

Elder Wan chuckled and reminded them, "I don’t fall for flattery. Even though I’m allowing you two to stay in the Martial King Palace, you mustn’t cause trouble, or else I will kick you out just the same."

"That definitely won’t happen." Fatty immediately thumped his chest in assurance.

Seeing Fatty’s attitude, a surge of anger rushed to Lu Hong’s head. She wished she could give Fatty a good slap across the face right then and there.

Better to believe pigs might fly than to trust the lies of this damned fatty! It was all a bitter lesson learned!
