Chapter 175: Stealing the Pills



Jun Chenxi nodded and continued, "I'm glad you're okay. Last time, I said I'd find General Mu's youngest son and have him come here for treatment, but when I went to visit General Mu, he refused. The general wouldn't let his son go out..."

"It's okay. Chenxi, can I give you a favor?"

"Not just one, even ten would be fine. You cured my brother, and I was just wondering how to repay you."

Lan Zhi smiled and handed a porcelain-white medicine bottle to Jun Chenxi, saying, "This is the elixir I got from the secret realm. It's called [Chengyuan Pill]. It helps practitioners in the Chengyuan realm to advance to a higher realm..."

Jun Chenxi asked in surprise: "Chengyuan realm?"

Lan Zhi said, "That's right. This pill is most effective when taken by a Spiritual Life Master at the Chengyuan Realm. Spiritual Life Masters at lower realms can also take it, but after taking it, the pill's efficacy will be lost by more than 60%, which is a bit wasteful."

Jun Chenxi said: "You give me this medicine bottle, meaning..."

Lan Zhi said, "I hope Princess Chenxi can help me auction off these three pills."

"auction?"

Lan Zhi nodded. "Well, I want to make some money and then leave the Kingdom of Da Rui."

Jun Chenxi asked in surprise, "Silver? Shouldn't something this precious be traded with spirit stones?"

Lan Zhi said, "Silver or spirit stones are fine, I need both."

"Okay, I'll take care of this..."

Jun Chenxi agreed, but she was a member of the royal family and was definitely on the side of her father. Just now, when Jun Chenxi heard about the effects of "Chengyuan Dan", she felt that this elixir was most suitable for Prince Rui, but the relationship between the royal family and Prince Rui was delicate and they did not want Prince Rui to become stronger.

Jun Chenxi really wanted his father to pay a sum of silver and spirit stones to buy all three pills, but Lan Zhi didn't give a specific price and instead wanted to auction them off. This left Jun Chenxi unable to bid, so he could only ask, "Can I participate in the auction?"

"Of course." Lan Zhi smiled. She knew this situation would definitely happen. She said, "To verify the authenticity of the pill, we can have an old man in the Infant Yuan Realm take the pill in front of everyone at the auction venue, and then auction off the other two Cheng Yuan Pills."

"But wouldn't that be a waste of a pill?" Although it wasn't Jun Chenxi's, she still felt bad. "Giving it to an old man in the Infant Yuan Realm... it's not worth it."

Lan Zhi explained, "The Infant Yuan Realm is the lowest level of cultivation, and the improvement after taking the elixir is the greatest, which is the most shocking. As for why they chose an old man... because he's nearing death. Others can tell at a glance that he won't live long, that his potential has reached its limit, and that this is the only way to showcase the magic of the elixir."

"Indeed..." Jun Chenxi had an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face and felt that what Lan Zhi said made sense.

In reality, Lan Zhi chose an elderly person nearing the end of their lifespan because the Jiexiang Pill was essentially a poison pill. While taking it would indeed allow one's cultivation to advance dramatically, if one reached the Chengyuan realm, the poison would instantly take effect, leading to death. Elderly people's lifespans were already limited, and it was difficult for them to reach the Chengyuan realm within a limited timeframe. They could generally only live until their death. However, if the pill was given to a young person, what if that young person was a genius and cultivated all the way to the Chengyuan realm, only to die from the poison? It would be a bit of a loss...

Jun Chenxi asked, "Tian Miao, where do you live now? There's an auction in three days. Will you be there?"

"No, I have some personal matters to attend to, and I will be away from Da Rui for a few days or even ten days. During this time, please help me keep the money I earned from the auction safe."

"Okay." Jun Chenxi responded.

When the people saw the miraculous doctor appear again, they immediately gathered around excitedly.

"Divine doctor, can you wait a little longer? My aunt's son-in-law's sister is frail and sickly, and I need your help."

"Miraculous Doctor Tian Miao, thank you for saving me and my mother just now. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life..."

"Mr. Tian Miao, would you accept a disciple? I think my son has been very smart and spiritual since he was young. Perhaps he is born to be a cultivator. If you are willing to teach him the cultivation method, he will definitely give you a surprise!"

"My grandpa just died yesterday and hasn't been buried yet. I miss him so much. Can you help bring him back to life? If you can, our whole family will be very grateful to you."

"Can a miracle doctor revive the dead? My father has been dead for two years. Please help me!"

The demands made by the people became increasingly outrageous.

Lan Zhi pretended she hadn't heard anything. She glanced at the crowd and noticed new patients, so she used her spiritual power to heal a few more. Then she lowered her voice and said to Jun Chenxi, "I'm leaving first. Take care of yourself and remember what I told you. Also, if the royal family auctions off a Chengyuan Pill, don't swallow it yet. As far as I know, the royal family doesn't have any masters at the Chengyuan realm, so it would be a waste to take it. If you really want to take it, wait until I'm here. I have a way to reduce the loss of the medicinal properties."

Lan Zhi couldn't tell anyone that the pill was poisonous yet, so she could only remind them subtly not to take the poison pill.

"Okay. I understand." Jun Chenxi nodded.

Neither of them noticed that among the common people, there was a simple-looking young man holding a candied haws. The "hawthorn" at the bottom of the candied haws was actually a small spiritual weapon. The function of the spiritual weapon was to record the scene in real time.

Prince Rui has returned from the demon world. The first thing he did after returning was to find his son, and the second thing was to learn about the major and minor events happening in the capital. After learning that a miracle doctor had appeared in the country of Da Rui, Prince Rui sent people to "monitor" the miracle doctor without thinking.
