Whoosh!
Julius Reed had just finished speaking.
Hundreds of eyes instantly fixed on the figure of the Medicine King!
If it were truly a mistake between two medicines, then it would seem there wasn’t any issue after the Medicine King ingested them.
But if he dare not consume them…
The reason behind this deserved profound contemplation.
“Since Medicine King Valley has been negligent, you must prove to everyone whether you made a mistake or if the medicine is ineffective,” Julius Reed stood up, holding the pill as he approached the Medicine King, “Otherwise, who can guarantee that the rest is not poison?”
A hall filled with hundreds of people.
Once again, silence was restored.
The gazes of the wealthy merchants and the eyes of the Medicine King Valley disciples were all on the Medicine King.
They were unclear about the reason.
But could the Medicine King Valley’s poison actually be ineffective?
Compared to those merchants who visited every year, the disciples of Medicine King Valley trusted the words of the Medicine King even more.
That was authority!

It was their belief!
And only such a reason could explain why Julius Reed was still alive.
“What’s the matter?
Does the Medicine King dare not try it?
But you had clearly stated that the pills were mixed up,” Julius Reed said mockingly, pinching the pill between two fingers, and looking at the Medicine King.
“This…”
Cold sweat streamed down the Medicine King’s forehead.
He truly wanted to kill this young man on the spot, but under the watchful eyes of so many, what about the reputation of Medicine King Valley?
The supreme authority of Medicine Path of an Eternity, could it be completely destroyed?
To be ruined by his own hands?
Whether the pill was mistaken or not was the doubt in everyone’s minds.
“Master!
I’ll do it!”
An Inner Sect Disciple of Medicine King Valley stepped out, looking coldly at Julius Reed: “Remember, the medical authority of Medicine King Valley cannot possibly have any problems!”
This was faith!
Every disciple of Medicine King Valley was firm in their belief; it could only be a pill mix-up.
That was the only way this young man could still be alive.
Lively and provocatively standing here to challenge them.
“I will join!”
In an instant, the disciples stepped forward one after another.
Contempt written all over their faces.
Daring to question Medicine King Valley?
Heh…
“Wait…”
Before the Medicine King could utter a word to stop them,
The Inner Sect Disciple snatched the pill from Julius Reed’s hand in an instant.
Swallowed it with a big gulp.
On his face, a look of disdainful smile.
“Haha!
What about now, having taken the pill, I only feel an invigoration, as if I possess inexhaustible…”
But his words were cut short.
Suddenly stopped midway.
“Senior brother, could it be that this great tonic is making you feel like you could ascend to the heavens?”
“The Medicine King Valley’s concoction this time took immense effort.
Once ingested, it should prolong life, senior brother must be feeling the surge of power within!”
“Scoundrels who dare to doubt the divine might of Medicine King Valley, how should they be punished!”
The Inner Sect Disciples of Medicine King Valley regained their confidence, looking at Julius Reed with a challenging gaze.
Only the Medicine King remained silent.
He had been calculating the time since the disciple swallowed the pill.
From when the voice stopped, precisely four seconds.
“Thud”!
While the disciples of Medicine King Valley were still immersed in their joy,
The sound of something heavy hitting the ground reached everyone’s ears.
“Senior brother, why have you fallen?”
The Medicine King Valley disciple nearest to the one who had taken the poison bent down, intending to help him up.
But the moment his hand touched the other,
His face turned green!
People of Medicine King Valley were all experts in medical knowledge!
Just by touching the body, they could tell if the other was alive or dead!
His senior brother, was there any sign of life in him?
“Mr.
Leopold, hurry and help senior brother up,” another person bent down too, and was equally stunned.
“Dead…
dead?”
The one who first bent down suddenly collapsed to the ground.
“What!”
With a whoosh!
The disciples of Medicine King Valley swarmed over.
Then they all froze in disbelief.
Dead.
Their senior brother was gone.
“Medicine King, this prolonging of life, it only lasts for four seconds?”
Julius Reed sat back in his chair, jesting, “What a remarkable effect!”
“What on Earth is going on with Medicine King Valley!”
“Damn Medicine King!
He’s clearly taking us for fools!”
“We must get an explanation!”
The wealthy businessmen were all visibly agitated.
If the disciples of Medicine King Valley had died, what would happen if they took it…
Most importantly, the words of the Medicine King were utterly contradictory!
This pill, was it mixed up, or was it ineffective?
Everyone’s eyes turned to the Medicine King.
Including those distraught Inner Sect Disciples from Medicine King Valley.
They needed an explanation.
Why had their fellow brother suddenly died?
Wasn’t it said that they had merely mixed up the pills?
Gulp…
The Medicine King swallowed nervously.
Anger flashed in his eyes.
Anger born of shame and embarrassment!
How could he explain?
He could not explain!
He had contradicted himself!
Most importantly, he had lost the trust of his own disciples!
“Medicine King, everyone is waiting for your explanation,”
Julius Reed said with a smile.
Although countless gazes wished him dead,
killing someone in public, out of shame and rage,
Medicine King Valley’s reputation, I fear, might not recover for decades.
The businessmen were equally furious!
“It seems Medicine King Valley is going downhill year by year!”
“Heh, who’s to say otherwise?
I’m not planning to buy today.”
“Even if I, Faulkner Marsh, were to die from my illness, lying in bed waiting to die, or drop dead upon leaving this door, I would not buy anything from Medicine King Valley!”
“That’s the spirit, old Marsh.”
Everyone spoke up, one after the other,
all with anger in their voices.
“My disciple has an innate cold constitution; this kind of tonic is not suitable for someone with such a condition.” The Medicine King waved a hand: “Take him away.”
“Quickly!”
Jason Young, as the Medicine King’s most prized disciple, immediately led people to carry the body away.
“This time, because of my mistake causing panic among you all, I offer my deepest apologies.”
The Medicine King stood up, bowing deeply.
“Therefore, the price of today’s pills will be halved!”
Upon saying this, he added: “Apart from poison, I will personally test the Longevity Pill.”
“That’s more like it.”
“Half price?
Deliciously tempting!”
“Old Marsh, didn’t you say you weren’t buying?”
The moment the Medicine King announced the halving of the price, the enthusiasm in the businessmen’s eyes flickered back to life.
After all, with the Medicine King personally testing the pills, and today’s commotion, Medicine King Valley would certainly have to offer something of quality to salvage their reputation.
A no-risk profit!
“Jason Young, go get the pills ready.
Remember, bring back the best pills!”
The Medicine King instructed once more.
“Medicine King, it seems you’ve forgotten our agreement.”
Just then, Julius Reed stepped forward, pointing to the ‘Medicine Path of an Eternity’ sign hanging above his head.
“What about smashing it on the spot as promised?”
“You…”
The Medicine King’s face changed drastically!
He was asking for too much!
Out of his mind!
A sign couldn’t just be smashed because someone said so!
It had hung there for a thousand years!
In his own generation, to be smashed by someone?
“Going back on your word?”
Julius Reed asked teasingly.
“Of course, Medicine King Valley’s word is as good as gold, but…”
“How magnanimous of the Medicine King!”
Before the Medicine King could finish, Julius Reed rushed to the side of Martial Gate disciples and clapped his hands!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The long swords at the waists of the two Martial Gate disciples beside him flew out of their sheaths!
Striking on both sides of the sign!
Clang!
The sign that had hung for a year fell at the sound!
“Stop him…”
Before the Medicine King could finish—
Julius Reed turned, lifting a chair, and viciously smashed it down on the falling sign!
