Chapter 386: Another frame-up
There were a total of ten patrolling monks who came, and all of them were full of vigor, with evil aura permeating their bodies. Even their cultivation levels were all at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
As for the middle-aged burly man in the lead, he has a cultivation level at the peak of the early stage of foundation building, and his aura is extremely condensed. He is obviously a person who has experienced hundreds of battles.
After arriving at the scene, the patrolling monks quickly dispersed their formation and faintly surrounded the gate of "Miaodanfang". At the same time, the middle-aged burly monk took two steps forward, first glanced at everyone with a majestic face, and then asked in a cold voice:
"Why is there a dispute here?"
After hearing this, Luyao looked extremely angry and was about to explain.
But the two Qi-refining stage monks who were sitting on the ground suddenly cried out with runny noses and tears:
"I'm reporting to the Commander-in-Chief that this "Wonderful Pill Shop" sells low-quality elixirs and passes them off as good ones, in an attempt to kill my young master. Now that the matter has been exposed, the shopkeeper's wife wants to kill someone and silence him! I hope the Commander-in-Chief will make the decision for us! "
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged burly monk's face suddenly darkened. A strong aura enveloped Luyao, and he asked coldly:
"Is what this person said true?"
Opposite Luyao, who was under the pressure of the momentum, couldn't help but turn pale, and she was about to open her mouth to explain.
However, at this moment, in the lobby on the first floor of the "Miaodanfang" behind, Tao Ran, dressed in rich clothes, suddenly stepped out, and a coercion containing condensed evil aura suddenly erupted, knocking the middle-aged burly monk away. The momentum dissipated.
You know, as a monster hunter, Tao Ran was able to cultivate to the early stage of foundation building, and it can be said that he basically relied on the resources accumulated through fighting all the way.
Therefore, although his evil spirit is slightly less powerful than Qin Tian's, it is naturally not weaker than the garrison commander who was at the peak of the initial stage of foundation building.
Even though Qin Tian had intended to help the two of them after establishing the foundation in the early years, Tao Ran would rather take great risks and continue to stay in the sea to hunt monsters and accumulate resources. He did not come to join him until he broke through the foundation building period.
It can be seen from this that this son has arrogance in his heart and is easily unwilling to accept favors from others.
But now he saw that someone was causing trouble in the "Miaodanfang" and his wife Luyao was being bullied. How could Tao Ran hold back, so he naturally pushed back the imposing manner of the middle-aged monk commander as soon as possible.
Seeing this scene, the latter's face couldn't help but change slightly, his eyes full of solemnity, and he looked at the unknown shopkeeper of "Miaodanfang" in front of him.
After Na Luyao saw Tao Ran, her expression gradually softened, and she quickly stepped aside, leaving the latter to deal with the matter.
After arriving at the scene, Tao Ran first raised his hand towards the middle-aged monk in a neither humble nor condescending manner, and then explained:
"This fellow Taoist would also like to ask for a clear warning. All the elixirs in our store have been checked at all levels. They are only put on the shelves after passing the screening for efficacy. Selling inferior elixirs is pure nonsense. These two people clearly have bad intentions and are deliberately causing trouble here. !”
After hearing this, the garrison commander immediately turned his head and stared at the two Qi Refining monks coldly, his face full of suspicion, and his intention was self-evident.
As for Tao Ran, who was suppressing anger in his heart, he stepped forward unceremoniously and asked in a cold voice:
"You are talking nonsense here and wantonly smearing the reputation of our store. Is there any evidence that can prove that the poisonous elixir was bought at "Miaodanfang"?"
When the two people who were sitting on the ground crying miserably heard this, they quickly reached out and took out an exquisite jade bottle, and shouted loudly:
"Look, everyone, this is the proof of the original purchase of the detoxification pill. The inscription on this pill bottle is definitely from the hand of "Miaodanfang"!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Ran retorted unceremoniously:
"It's just an elixir bottle. It can be copied easily. This does not prove your slanderous words!"
As soon as these words came out, the two Qi Refining monks couldn't help but look slightly flustered, and for a moment they were hesitant and didn't know how to speak.
Seeing this scene, the people around them began to react and looked at the two people sitting on the ground crying miserably. Their eyes changed from sympathy at the beginning to suspicion.
However, at this moment, among the surrounding crowd, there was a white-haired old man who was in the early stages of foundation building. He walked out from the crowd and slowly spoke loudly:
"Lao Cai Bu Cai is a high-level alchemist. Now that the two sides are arguing, Lao Cai has a way to easily identify whether what the two parties say is true or false."
After hearing this, especially after learning the identity of the senior alchemist, everyone present bowed their hands towards the white-haired old man and saluted him.
Even the commander of the garrison nodded with a smile on his face, and said politely with respect:
"If this fellow Taoist has any clever tips, just say so!"
When the white-haired old man heard the words, he immediately moved forward and came to the young man with a black face. He leaned over and stretched out the power of his consciousness, pretending to check it out.
Seeing this situation, although everyone was puzzled, due to his distinguished status as a senior alchemist, no one made a sound to disturb him.
After waiting for a while, the white-haired old man suddenly stood up and said confidently:
"What this little brother was hit by was the "bone-corroding cold poison" of the monster in the sea. For masters like us in the foundation building stage, this poison is not too troublesome, but for monks in the refining stage, it is extremely difficult. Tangled things.
It's easy to get rid of this cold poison. You only need to take a middle-grade detoxifying pill and take it raw with "Fire Yang Grass" to dispel all the "bone-corroding cold poison".
In my humble opinion, I might as well have the "Miaodanfang" provide a middle-grade detoxifying pill. If the cold poison is dispelled by then, it will naturally be enough to prove that these two people are deliberately slandering.
But if the cold poison still does not dissipate after taking the detoxification pill, it can only mean that the pills of "Miao Dan Fang" are indeed suspected of being inferior!"
After this statement came out, many people in the field nodded secretly, obviously quite agreeing with this method. Some people who are familiar with pharmacology also spoke out to prove that it is indeed the "bone-eroding cold poison".
Only Qin Tian, who was hiding in the crowd, had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and he had obviously seen through the tricks of the three people in front of him.
And the commander of the garrison, after thinking for a moment, couldn't help but speak in agreement:
"Daoyou, what you said makes sense, this is indeed a fair method! I wonder what the shopkeeper thinks? "
After saying this, the garrison commander turned around and looked at Tao Ran with a questioning look on his face.
Seeing this, the latter felt that something was wrong, but now in the public eye, he could not afford to shirk responsibility.
After all, if he hesitated at this time, it would be seen as a guilty act in the eyes of the onlookers, and he was also quite confident about the pills sold in the shop.
So, Tao Ran hesitated for only a moment, and then he agreed directly:
"In this case, Tao will not refuse, and he will order someone to get the middle-grade "detoxification pill" so that these two people can show their true colors! "
