Chapter 771: Chapter 771 Testing Poison with One’s Own Body_1 Chapter 771: Chapter 771 Testing Poison with One’s Own Body_1 This face…
Why does it seem familiar?
Yet sohow, I can’t quite recall.
There was no ti for further thought; after a brief mont of distraction, the dicine King imdiately walked to the gilded chair in the center of Longteng Hall.
And slowly took a seat.
“We pay our respects to the dicine King!”
In an instant, the wealthy businessn all stood up and knelt at the center of the grand hall.
Three bows, nine kowtows.
However, Julius Reed remained seated in his place.
Sipping tea.
Gulping…
Gulping…
After the shouting, only the sound of drinking tea remained in the hall filled with hundreds of people.
Distinctly audible!
The dicine King’s eyebrows knitted into a frown.
That seat had been unoccupied for nearly a hundred years.
The last ti, it was the Sect Leader of Kunlun who personally ca.
But afterwards, Kunlun was obliterated by the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance for reasons unknown.
Although it was re-established after thirty-so years, its reputation had long since declined.
Could it be…
The dicine King hesitated for a mont, his gaze uncertain.
And the disciples of dicine King Valley dared not make a move.
It was the rule.
Without a word from the dicine King, nobody dared to speak out.
But if the dicine King gave an order, they would swarm forward!
To tear him to a thousand pieces.
The wealthy businessn inside the hall also lifted their heads, looking at Julius Reed.
Hundreds of gazes converged on him.
But the person in question didn’t seem to care in the least.
After putting down the teacup, he clasped his hands and looked towards the dicine King, “Happy New Year.”
“Hiss!”
This New Year’s greeting caused everyone to break out in a cold sweat.
It was clearly a New Year’s greeting, but it sounded so jarring!
Who was the other party?
The dicine King, no less!
To speak so casually, as if talking about trivial family matters!
Can’t you see they’re all kneeling on the ground, bowing their heads like grandsons?
The hearts of the businessn jumped to their throats.
If it were just the young man courting death, so be it.
But if he angered the dicine King, they would all be implicated!
No one dared to stand out and scold!
If the dicine King hadn’t spoken, who were they to say anything?
“Happy…
Happy New Year.”
The dicine King was also taken aback, but quickly regained composure.
The whole place was in an uproar!
The look in the businessn’s eyes towards Julius Reed was filled with envy.
To receive a personal greeting from the dicine King!
What kind of status did this man have?
But what they didn’t know was that the dicine King said this impulsively due to the suddenness of the situation.
Sitting in this position for more than seventy years, when had anyone dared to speak to him like that?
The words had barely left his mouth when the dicine King already regretted them.
“Everyone, please take your seats…”
He waved his sleeve to dissipate the awkwardness.
At the sa ti, he gestured to a confidant beside him to investigate the young man’s identity.
“Following the tradition of past years, we will first showcase this year’s blessings from the dicine King to you all.”
Once the businessn were seated, a disciple of the dicine King Valley stepped forward, carrying a brocade box in his hands.
“In the left hand, life is extended, in the right hand, a cut off breath upon sight!”
As he finished speaking, two disciples from Martial Gate ca forward and opened the brocade box.
Inside the box, the pills were sorted by quality into five grades.
The highest-grade ones were refined products.
At the very end, there were so under-fired waste pills.
But even the waste pills were sought after by many.
“This year, the quality looks much better than in past years!”
“I think the price is going to be a lot higher too.
Our wallets are suffering more and more.”
“As long as these pills are effective, no matter how much they cost, it’s worth it!”
Upon seeing the pills, the businessn’s eyes sparkled.
That was a longing for survival!
Finally, the exciting mont they had been waiting for had arrived.
“This year, dicine King Valley has refined a large quantity of elixirs, made repeated improvents to the formulas, and finally created pills that are more effective and have fewer side effects.”
The disciple of dicine King Valley proudly proclaid.
However, the expressions on the faces of the businessn turned sowhat ugly.
“It sounds like there’s going to be another price hike.”
“It was the sa last year, the sa pills increased by an entire billion!”
“Let’s hope it’s sothing we can accept this ti!”
Their worries hung heavy, hearts suspended in mid-air.
Since three years ago, the price of the dicinal pills from dicine King Valley had begun to rise.
Before each price increase, they would always utter such a courteous phrase.
They talked about nothing more than rising costs and increased investnts, and so on.
Yet, people could not show the slightest dissatisfaction, but instead had to pretend to be very grateful.
“How genuine is this dicinal pill?”
Julius Reed pointed at the pill in the dicine King Valley disciple’s hand and asked out loud.
Swish!
Over a hundred gazes were cast toward him again!
Dare to question the dicine King Valley?
For a thousand years, this was the first ti anyone had heard of it!
The dicine King Valley represented authority!
Indisputable!
“This…”
The Martial Gate disciple holding the pill turned around and looked at the dicine King.
“Your Excellency, it seems you doubt the capability of our dicine King Valley?”
The dicine King narrowed his eyes, a murderous aura unfolding from him!
An overwhelming murderous intent!
In this world, how many people dared to speak to him like this!
“Seeing is believing after all.”
Julius Reed said with a smile, eting the dicine King’s gaze without any fear, “As the saying goes, ‘True gold does not fear the test of fire,’ don’t you agree, dicine King?”
Clatter!
So wealthy rchants were already sweating profusely.
Sweatdrops fell to the ground.
Daring to challenge the dicine King, truly fearless of death!
“The dicines gifted by our dicine King Valley have been experienced by everyone!
Those who take our life-extending pills will surely live an additional three to five years!”
The dicine King pointed to the two brocade boxes, his expression extrely somber, “And as for the pills that cause death upon contact with blood, whoever swallows them will instantly die on the spot!”
Those who sought out dicine were of two kinds.
One kind hoped to live a few more years, to extend their lifespan.
The others were up to no good, looking to do things that wouldn’t bear scrutiny.
The poison of dicine King Valley, there was no antidote in the world!
One could say that taking it guaranteed death!
Many people, for their own interests, would co to dicine King Valley and spend a great deal of money to buy these kinds of dicines.
Firstly, the ans were clean!
After taking these dicines, the poisoned person would die violently, but the poison could not be traced; it would rely be considered a sudden death.
Clean as a whistle!
Secondly, there was no antidote in the world.
The effect was quick; as soon as one took it, they would die shortly after!
Therefore, the poison from dicine King Valley also beca the pri choice for many people.
The price, naturally, was much lower than that of the life-extending dicines.
“Otherwise, would you care to try?”
The dicine King said with a faint smile, a teasing look in his eyes.
“If you don’t have the courage, then please apologize publicly!”
As he spoke, his voice had turned icy cold!
Overstepping the bounds!
Young people never seem to know when to hold back!
No one dared to try the poison, so this young man in front of them would have to pay for his reckless actions!
“Alright, bring it to to try.”
Against all expectations, Julius Reed gestured to the disciple to bring it over.
As soon as he said this, not only did the wealthy businessn’s eyes widen, even the dicine King found it unbelievable!
To test the poison on oneself?
Tired of living?
“A man’s word is his bond, and what you said today has been witnessed by everyone present!”
The dicine King’s eyes demonstrated his confusion.
But this was also good.
If the young man indeed died violently, even if he had powerful backers, the dicine King would be in the right.
Who could stop one from courting death?
“Of course.”
Julius Reed smiled at the dicine King, “But if this dicine proves ineffective, doesn’t it an that your dicine King Valley has been deceiving with counterfeits?”
“dicines can be taken at random, but words must not be spoken carelessly!” The dicine King frowned.
“What effect does this dicine have?”
Julius Reed pointed at the black pill laid out before him.
No sooner had he finished questioning than the Martial Gate disciple placed the pill in front of him.
“Within five seconds, the heart stops beating!”
The dicine King said confidently.
“If after five seconds I am still in this world…”
“Then the ‘dicine Path of an Eternity’ signboard over my head will be smashed on the spot!” The dicine King pointed at the two-ter-wide, five-ter-long gilded signboard above his head, stating confidently.
In this world, when it cos to the skill of poisoning,
His dicine King Valley claid to be second to none, with no one daring to claim third!
ƝονǤᴑ.сᴑ
Such was the confidence borne from a thousand years of legacy!
That ‘dicine Path of an Eternity’ signboard!
It had hung for a thousand years!
“dicine King, how generous of you!”
Julius Reed gave a thumbs-up, a smile in his eyes.
Then, under the watchful gaze of hundreds, he picked up a pill and gently placed it in his mouth.
