Chapter 866: Big Reversal
After hearing Li Nian's words, Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment.
"What did Boss Li say?"
Li Nian gnashed his teeth and said, "I have made my words very clear. I want to test it myself. I now suspect that you have received information. These two death row prisoners have long been bribed by you, and you have done something wrong!"
Lin Zhen laughed when he heard this: "Are you crazy? You brought the death row prisoner here, how can I do anything to him?"
"It's hard to say. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. What if you knew in advance and gave the condemned prisoners drugs in advance to ensure that their true spirits would not dissipate and their souls would not be lost? The combination of drugs inside and outside can achieve miraculous effects. There is such a drug in the ancient pill recipe, pretending to bring the dead back to life."
Although Li Nian's words were not very credible, they still caused some waves in the crowd. Of course, it was mainly the people brought by Li Nian who were creating the atmosphere and deliberately discrediting Lin Zhen, but there were still some pedantic people who had doubts.
Although there were some waves, it was harmless. Lin Zhen waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything. I won't agree. The evidence has already been proven. How can we make things worse based on your one-sided statement?"
Li Nian did not give up at all: "Lin Zhen, you are not feeling guilty, are you? If you have not done those things, why don't you dare to let me test you? I am not planning to owe you money, I will still pay you as usual. If you don't dare, it proves that you have something to hide!"
"How do you want to pay? Who should I ask for the 800 million if you die?" Lin Zhen seemed angry too.
"I can pay you 800 million in advance, plus the 10 million for the elixir. But you have to promise me that if you can't save me, you will transfer all this money to my son, and pay another 800 million to my son. Your pharmacy, your elixir formula, etc., everything will no longer belong to you, because you are a despicable liar!"
The crowd finally became agitated at this time. Since the elixir can bring the dead back to life, why didn't Lin Zhen dare to fight?
Lin Zhen finally nodded and agreed. Li Nian was risking his life to force him to abdicate. If he didn't agree, it would definitely arouse suspicion, which was not what Lin Zhen wanted to see.
Li Nian paid another ten million, and Lin Zhen gave him the last pill.
Then Li Nian transferred another 800 million yuan to Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen now has 1.53 billion in his account!
This is a huge sum of money, enough to do many great things, enough to live a life of luxury in Tianfang City for 10,000 years!
Even 100,000 years! But the final bet is the highlight of today. If Lin Zhen cannot revive Li Nian, then all of this will not belong to Lin Zhen, and he will even have to pay an extra 800 million.
If that were the case, Lin Zhen would not be able to repay all of his family property, and he would not be able to continue on the path of an alchemist. This would definitely be a huge disaster for him.
The internet was already in an uproar just now, with many people even saying that they would travel billions of light years to Tianfang City's Golden Elixir Shop to ask Saint Master Lin Zhen to buy the Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir.
Who wouldn't want to save an extra life? But things suddenly changed so dramatically that people gradually calmed down.
It would take more than a day or two to reach Tianfang City, so they had to see it clearly first.
Seeing Li Nian's expression, Lin Zhen finally nodded: "Okay!"
Li Nian took a deep breath, took out his short knife again, and said to the people around him: "After I die, give me the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and see if I can come back to life."
His subordinates immediately nodded in agreement, holding the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and ready at all times.
At this time, Klinsmann said, "Hey, who knows if this is your clone? If you are a clone, you are lifeless, and no pill can save you."
Many people exclaimed "oh" and looked at Li Nian with suspicion.
This is very likely to happen. He creates a clone and pretends to be dead, so no one can save him.
Without waiting for Li Nian to say anything, Lin Zhen waved his hand: "No need to verify, I can still tell whether it is a clone or not."
Lin Zhen has been playing with clones for so many years, he knows very well whether it is a clone or not. The Li Nian in front of him is definitely the real one, but...
Lin Zhen smiled and said, "We can start now."
Li Nian looked at the confident Lin Zhen with some doubt, but when he thought of his careful plan, he gritted his teeth and stabbed himself in the heart with a knife!
As blood spurted out, Li Nian's body slumped down.
After lying on the ground and twitching for a few times, Li Nian finally stopped breathing.
His men also followed his style and said to the people around them: "Do you want to verify whether the person is dead?"
People shook their heads. Everyone could still tell whether he was dead or not.
His men pried open Li Nian's mouth and fed him the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, which quickly melted and disappeared in his stomach.
But this time, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill did not work as expected! Li Nian's body did not recover, and he was still lying there in the same state, without any sign of resurrection.
His men were pinching the philtrum and rolling up the eyelids for a while, then suddenly raised their heads and pointed at Lin Zhen: "Liar! Your elixir is fake! My master is dead! You have to pay with his life!"
This shout immediately triggered a chain reaction, and everyone who followed Li Nian was shocked.
Some people cursed, some started to fight, and some even started to smash Lin Zhen's Jindanfang.
"Smash it! Tear down this shady shop!"
"He has no ability to pretend to be a saint-level alchemist. Such a person is not worthy of opening a medicine shop in Tianfang City. Drive him out!"
"What a fraud! He even bribed the death row inmates to play a double act. He really thinks that everyone in the world is a fool!"
"Catch him and bring him before the authorities!"
"Yes! But make him spit out all the money before he sees the official!"
Those who were watching the fun around also stepped back far away, leaving them space. If Lin Zhen's store was really a shady spot, then it would be useless to smash it.
The entire Jindanfang suddenly became noisy and chaotic.
Lin Zhen's clerk wanted to stop these people from doing this, but Lin Zhen waved his hand and said, "Don't move. We have already graded all the goods. If they smash the goods, they will have to pay double the amount."
After Lin Zhen spoke, the shop assistants stopped and waited behind Lin Zhen.
Lalati looked at Lin Zhen with sharp eyes. Even through the black robe, Lin Zhen could feel the curious gaze of this cheap disciple.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Lin Zhen's store was already in a mess.
These people finally got tired and stopped.
Lin Zhen said to Klinsmann at this time: "Klinsmann, how much are the pills and all the expenses in our store worth? Calculate it for them."
"Understood, Boss."
Klinsmann faced all the people who smashed the store and said loudly: "Jindanfang didn't spend much money to renovate the store, only 15 million, but the medicine is expensive. According to the list price, the total is 1.23 billion!"
Those who smashed the store sneered, and Zhao Yan even walked out: "You are really whimsical. You are asking for too much. Take care of your own business first. Boss Li Nian's body is still warm. Lin Zhen, it's not easy for you to survive this matter, and you still have the mood to settle the score?"
Lin Zhen walked out slowly, his eyes swept through the crowd. The powerful mental force acted on his eyes, revealing a frightening cold light that made these people a little scared.
"Okay, since you said so, I won't discuss the issue of you smashing the store for now. What I want to talk about now is the issue of Li Nian's life or death."
"What else is there to say? Your Nine Revolutions Golden Pill has no effect at all!" Zhao Yan shouted.
Lin Zhen ignored him and walked to Li Nian's side, then asked everyone, "Do you want Li Nian to come back to life?"
"Nonsense! Of course I want him to come back alive."
"That's right. As the person involved, I don't want Li Nian to die. If he dies, I will be in big trouble. In this case, let me see if he is really dead."
After saying that, Lin Zhen squatted down, took Li Nian's pulse, and touched his heartbeat.
No movement!
Lin Zhen shook his head slightly: "What a pity, Li Nian, Li Nian, you actually died in my store. Isn't this forcing me to flee? How can I have so much money to compensate you?"
Matthew, Zhao Yan and the others all sneered: "You know it's no use, now let's see what you have to say!"
Lin Zhen shook his head: "There is nothing more to say. At this point, I have no other choice but to run away. But before I run away, I will destroy the body of Li Nian who caused me to lose everything!"
"Lin Zhen, what are you going to do?" These people were all shocked.
Lin Zhen sneered: "Of course I am doing what I should do. I am not making fun of you. You bastards can't stop me. Don't forget, I killed several gods in the virtual battlefield. Anyone who is not afraid of death, come up!"
As he said that, Lin Zhen suddenly stepped on Li Nian's chest, causing a sound of bone fracture!
"Lin Zhen, stop it!"
"Why should I stop? He's just a dead man. What can I do if I cut him into pieces?"
As he spoke, Lin Zhen had already drawn out the Emperor's Sword and slashed at Li Nian's neck!
Li Nian, who was lying motionless on the ground, suddenly jumped up with a roar, turned around and ran outside.
This froze the chaotic situation at the scene. Everyone opened their mouths wide and looked at Li Nian in disbelief.
But how could Lin Zhen let him get away? He cast a gravitational force over him and directly grabbed Li Nian back into his hands.
"Boss Li, how did you come back to life? Did my Nine Revolutions Golden Pill work?"
"No, no, no, your medicine has no effect..."
"If it doesn't work, then what's the reason for you dying and coming back to life? Are you trying to cheat me by pretending to be dead?"
Li Nian panicked when he heard this and waved his hands hastily: "No, no, I really died just now. It was you. It was your elixir that brought me back to life."
Lin Zhen smiled and nodded: "Oh! That's good. In that case, Klinsmann, notify the City Lord's Mansion and tell them that a group of robbers came to the Golden Pill House to smash things, and they are all worth a lot of money. I, Lin Zhen, now demand that these people compensate me ten times for my losses!"
There will be more updates today! Recommendation votes, recommendation votes!!!
