Gu Yao naturally couldn't hand over the sea kelp, and he didn't want to expose it to Changxianmen for the time being. After much discussion, he felt that it would be best to let the Chamber of Commerce solve the matter.
Just when he was thinking about how to contact Manager Qi, Manager Qi came with his men. Before Chi Changye could suspect anything, Manager Qi explained in advance: "The Chamber of Commerce is in need of people, especially alchemists. If Alchemist Lu is interested, the Chamber of Commerce is very welcome." The City Lord's Mansion manager who accompanied Manager Qi was very upset. Along the way, he watched the Chamber of Commerce shamelessly pulling alchemists on their territory. Where did their City Lord's Mansion stand? But they couldn't drive the Chamber of Commerce away. They sent a large amount of support at this critical moment without fear of danger. They couldn't repay kindness with enmity.
"Please come in, Manager Qi, and we'll talk in detail." Chi Changye made an excited expression. Manager Qi glanced around and saw that someone had naturally left the people from the City Lord's Mansion outside. He led the people to follow Chi Changye inside, and, well, we'll talk in detail.
"Fellow Daoist Chi?" Manager Qi asked tentatively when he saw Chi Changye start the formation.
Chi Changye smiled calmly: "Yes, it's me. Xiaoyao and I were looking for Manager Qi to discuss something, and Manager Qi came to our door."
Qi Yi laughed. He actually had two purposes for this trip. One was to find out who Gu Yao was pretending to be, and the other was that he really wanted to persuade the alchemists to join the Chamber of Commerce. The alchemists he visited before seemed to be quite interested, and the conditions offered by the Chamber of Commerce made them very tempted.
"I wonder what matter Master Yao wants to see Qi about? The Pavilion Master has instructed that no matter what it is, Qi will fully cooperate."
Qi Yi had just finished speaking when Gu Yao walked out. It was Chi Changye who sent him a message to tell him that Qi Yi was here.
After the initial success of the previous experiment, Gu Yao and Xu Chen worked together again to finalize the pill formula. He has been busy refining pills in the alchemy room these days, so he is still full of energy when he comes out now.
"Manager Qi." Gu Yao greeted Manager Qi with a smile. Qi Yi recognized him immediately. Thinking back to the scene in the Alchemy Hall that day, he couldn't help but laugh at Gu Yao for being so low-key at that time. Now his true nature is revealed behind people. This smile is exactly the same as Master Yao's.
"Master Yao fooled me too. Master Yao is looking for me now. Is it because there is still a lack of materials, or..." Qi Yi couldn't help but guess boldly, could it be that Gu Yao has already developed an antidote? Because his attitude was too calm and composed, without any sign of impatience, and as far as he knew, even the people around Han Chi were getting impatient.
Gu Yao asked Manager Qi to sit down and said, "There are some clues, but it still requires a cultivator to experiment personally, or a monster will do, but it is not convenient for us to do it, and we don't want to reveal our identities."
Qi Yi immediately understood and was very excited. If the antidote was really found, no one could deny Gu Yao's level of alchemy. In his opinion, Gu Yao was definitely a genius among geniuses, and his talent in alchemy was unmatched.
What is there to hesitate at this time? Since Gu Yao has entrusted him with the task, he will certainly cooperate with him with all his strength: "Master Yao, just leave this matter to us. If Master Yao does not want to reveal it, we will also have a better way to deal with it."
Qi Yi talked to them for a full quarter of an hour. The people outside the City Lord's Mansion were almost losing their patience before they saw Qi Yi coming out. Gu Yao also followed behind him, and his expression seemed a little excited. Qi Yi also looked very satisfied. The people in the City Lord's Mansion saw this situation and knew very well that this Master Lu was lured away by the Chamber of Commerce, and he was another master who was moved by a large sum of money.
Although Qi Yi had several more bottles of pills in his storage ring, he suppressed the idea of going to verify them immediately. Instead, he continued to visit other alchemists quietly and presented them with gifts that were not too small, showing the importance that the Chamber of Commerce attached to the alchemists. Of course, there were also alchemists who were unmoved and refused to let anyone from the Chamber of Commerce in.
The City Lord's Mansion naturally knew what was going on here, and Ning Hui was also informed. Ning Hui heard and heard, but he didn't think that Qi Yi valued any alchemist in particular. He was confused for a while. Could it be that he was overthinking, and the alchemist named Gu Yao didn't show up here? Ning Hui thought that this opportunity was a great time to make a name for himself. He thought, how could an alchemist like Gu Yao miss this opportunity? Shouldn't an alchemist who started from humble beginnings and had no sect to rely on want to seize every opportunity to become famous? Otherwise, how could such an alchemist become famous? Wasn't the auction of the top-grade pill a gimmick created by Gu Yao?
Of course, Ning Hui also admitted that Gu Yao did have the ability to become famous, so he felt that Gu Yao would not miss this opportunity.
Ten days later, Master Liu came to Ning Hui and said, "Brother, there is something I want to tell you."
Ning Hui urged impatiently, "If you have something to say, tell me quickly."
Master Liu said, "There was a news from the Alchemy Hall. An alchemist named Lu left the city without saying goodbye, but no one knew when they left. It was one of the alchemists named Yan who went to look for him, but found that there was only a message left for Master Yan, saying that he left early because of something."
"What? Left? When did it happen?" Ning Hui stood up suddenly, staring at Master Liu and asked.
Master Liu didn't take it seriously, but he knew Ning Hui had asked him to keep an eye on the alchemists in the alchemy hall, so even though he didn't think it was a big deal for a young alchemist to leave, he thought about it and came over to tell him: "About five or six days? Or maybe seven or eight days?"
"Damn it!" Ning Hui cursed, and Master Liu didn't know who Ning Hui was cursing at.
Ning Hui was furious. Now he came to tell him, even if he wanted to verify it, it was too late. This time was enough for that Master Lu to run away. Where could he chase him? He had been keeping an eye on him, but he didn't expect that he still ran away under his nose.
What surname Lu? He dared to say that this surname Lu was surnamed Yao, that is, Gu Yao himself.
He suddenly stopped again and ordered: "Go out and see if there will be any abnormal things happening recently!"
If this surname Lu was really Gu Yao, why would he leave at this time? Although Ning Hui couldn't believe it, he still had a hunch that he must have achieved the purpose of this trip before leaving quietly.
The master hasn't come up with an effective detoxification method yet, how can Gu Yao, a seventh-grade alchemist, do it?
Seeing that Junior Brother Liu ran out, Ning Hui was panicked, and couldn't even calm down to analyze the venom, so he simply walked out. Not long after walking, Master Liu came back with an expression of disbelief. Before he came close, he called out, "Senior Brother Ning, the City Lord's Mansion sent a message saying that someone has brought the antidote. The City Lord's Mansion asked us and Master Han to go over and verify it together." Ning Hui's brain buzzed, as if someone had hit him with a big hammer. Sure enough! His premonition came true! The man surnamed Lu must be Gu Yao himself!
Ning Hui followed Master Liu to Lord Guan in a trance. Lord Guan was in a small square, and the person he was talking to was Zhang Qianfeng. Standing behind Zhang Qianfeng was none other than Manager Qi, who had represented the Chamber of Commerce. Sure enough, Manager Qi had already run into Gu Yao in a place he couldn't see. Ning Hui clearly remembered that Gu Yao and Chi Changye had stayed in Baihe City for a while, and had a close relationship with the City Lord's Mansion in Bai5ke City.
Han Chi Shanshan arrived late, and Lord Guan, who was having a good chat with Zhang Qianfeng, had a dark look on his face when he saw Han Chi, but he wouldn't offend a sixth-grade alchemist for no reason, after all, he had his competitive strength.
Han Chi ignored all this and asked in a cold voice: "City Lord Guan said someone showed up with an antidote? Who brought out the antidote? Who made the antidote? I wonder if Han can tell me about it?"
Facing such doubts, City Lord Guan felt a little unhappy, but he also knew that he could not afford to offend Changxianmen. It was just that Changxianmen was too arrogant. There were still rumors outside that the witch alchemist was the poison alchemist behind the scenes.
City Lord Guan said lightly: "The antidote was provided by the Chamber of Commerce. I am also very curious about who researched it, but the alchemist himself is unwilling to disclose his identity, and I can't force him."
Zhang Qianfeng said: "Yes, the alchemist himself happened to pass by here when he was traveling, and was very sad about the situation here, so he wanted to do his best. This alchemist has always had a very good relationship with the Chamber of Commerce, so he entrusted the antidote he researched to the Chamber of Commerce for full handling. Zhang After learning about this, he rushed here without stopping. Master Han, can you verify the effect of the elixir now?
What Master Han didn't know was that before Zhang entered the city, this elixir had been tested on poisoned monsters. The elixir master regretted that the antidote was not perfect and would leave some sequelae. After the poison was removed, the cultivators and monsters would suffer some damage in their cultivation and souls, so they needed other elixirs to assist, or the cultivators would have to cultivate again to make up for it.
"One thing that needs to be explained is that this antidote is itself a poison, and it uses the method of fighting poison with poison, so it needs to be used with caution. People who have not been poisoned by this kind of poison will only get themselves poisoned by another kind of poison if they use it. "
As soon as Zhang Qianfeng finished speaking, there was a buzz in the small square. All the alchemists from the Alchemy Hall came. Some of them had spent a lot of energy on this. Some had also thought of using poison to fight poison, but it was not so easy to do. Unexpectedly, the alchemists behind the Chamber of Commerce did it!
"Which alchemist do you think it is?"
"It's called the Chamber of Commerce, but it's actually related to the Qianfeng Pavilion in Baihe City. Don't you know that the owner of the Qianfeng Pavilion is Senior Zhang? Think about which alchemist has a good relationship with Senior Zhang and City Lord Liu."
"No way, you said it's that Alchemist Yao? Then why didn't he show up? "
While the alchemist and other cultivators were discussing here, Zhang Qianfeng took out a pill. The pill was dark red in color and looked a little strange, and it did not have the pleasant fragrance of other pills, but a bit of a foul smell. Seeing this pill, some cultivators could not help but subconsciously step away. It was said to be an antidote, but it was also a poison, and the toxicity must be very strong.
"Wait!" Han Chi said with a serious face, "What if this pill not only fails to detoxify after taking it, but instead makes the poisoned person suffer more injuries and even die? Why don't I check it first?"
"No - I'm willing to let my brother try the medicine! We will bear the consequences ourselves, and we don't need Senior Zhang and the alchemist to be responsible! "
A monk in the small square shouted loudly, and came out with several monks. The monks at the back were carrying a stretcher with a person tied to the stretcher. The person was still struggling, and the sound of chains colliding could be heard from time to time.
"We are also willing to try the medicine. We don't have time to wait any longer. City Lord Guan, Senior Zhang, we are willing to try the medicine! "Several monks in the crowd shouted again. The longer the poisoned person was, the harder it was for him to stay conscious, and the worse the situation became.
Han Chi's face became increasingly gloomy, and he looked at City Lord Guan with some hostility. If it weren't for the man named Guan who set up the location here and attracted so many monks, how could such a situation have arisen? Leaving him no room for compromise?
He shook his sleeves and said, "Then try it. Life and death are your own responsibility! "
The people around Zhang Qianfeng immediately took the elixir to the first monk who stood up and asked to test the medicine. They first asked about the poisoned person's condition in detail and judged the severity of the poisoning. Then they took the elixir from a jade bottle and fed it to the seriously poisoned person.
After the elixir was fed, the monk struggled more violently and screamed continuously. Soon after, his face turned black and his breath seemed to become weaker. The onlookers were all worried and suspicious. Could it be true? Instead of curing him, he made the poison worse.
The man's face showed pain. After about a cup of tea, he tilted his head and spit out black blood. The black blood fell to the ground and corroded into pits. The man was motionless.
A doctor came forward to examine him. After a careful examination, he showed a happy expression: "It's just as Master Zhang said. The poison in the body has been cleared, but the body is very weak and damaged. It needs to be properly recuperated. "
The person who gave the monk the antidote immediately poured out a few more pills and stuffed them into the mouth of the already unconscious monk. The monk's face was originally black, but the black color obviously faded after he spit out the poisonous blood, but it was pale and looked extremely weak. After taking the pill, his breath was obviously gradually longer, but as this person said, the sequelae are very serious and it takes time to recuperate. Whether he can recover to his original condition depends on his own strength and whether he can afford the necessary pills. After all, pills for repairing the soul are not ordinary goods.
"Thank you, thank you Pavilion Master Zhang and the Chamber of Commerce, thank you..." The monk who led this man to be the first drug tester was so excited that his voice choked. Even if his cultivation level regressed, it was better than falling into a monster.
"Wow, the poison is really detoxified, it turns out to be true!
"Which alchemist is so talented that he can detoxify such a difficult poison?" "
Someone said it was Master Yao, but isn't Master Yao a seventh-grade alchemist?"
"Otherwise, how can he be called a genius? As far as I know, although there is a sixth-grade alchemist in the Chamber of Commerce, that sixth-grade alchemist has not left the Chamber of Commerce, and will not conceal his identity."
City Lord Guan was also very excited and immediately arranged for more poisoned people to detoxify. The detoxification pills were controlled by the people of the Chamber of Commerce, because the pills were divided into three levels, those with less severe poisoning, those with mild poisoning, and those with deep poisoning. The pills they took were all different, and the medicine was prescribed for the right symptoms. City Lord Guan was
also very cautious, because if the pills were not used properly, they would become poisoned.
