The Journey of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 319 - 191 Unique Secret Recipe2

Ning Xiaoxian suddenly realized. This Old Chen was at least fifty years old, and the circle of seven or eight won around him were probably his concubines, seemingly fond of beauty too. Thus, it wasn’t strange that he would daily consu Cold Fragrance Pills to sustain his virility.

Speaking of why this young lady would refine such a dication, the reason is simple—within the dicine shop, Cold Fragrance Pills were always the bestsellers, unparalleled. Changtian himself was non-human, so of course, he would not view her through an ordinary human lens.

However, the Cold Fragrance Pills she refined were sowhat different from others. After modifications by Changtian and Qiongqi, an additional Floral Leaf Begonia was added to the elixir recipe, which indeed improved the efficacy of the pills. She seed to have seen the whistle acting sneakily approaching Deng Hao one day, wanting to buy these pills, probably lacking the courage to personally co and purchase them from her direct source.

She pondered for a mont, then asked: "Does Lord still have any leftover pills from before? Bring them for to see."

Forty seconds later, the old pills were placed in front of her. She picked up the thumb-sized pill, sniffed it delicately, and before she could speak, Changtian humd softly, "It turns out to be rcury!"

Now having a basic understanding of pharmacology, her vision cleared up after Changtian’s hint!

She pushed the pills towards Chen Bucao and declared loudly, "The toxicity lies in these old pills!"

Upon hearing these words, a good portion of the people in the room were disbelieving. Soone in the crowd sarcastically said, "Young girl talking nonsense. Our Master has been taking this dose of elixir for half a year with no issues, and you dare say he was poisoned by it?"

She raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Why shouldn’t I dare? These old Cold Fragrance Pills were actually refined with rcury! rcury acts as a gradual poison. Having taken them for a long ti, Master Chen had already accumulated toxicity in his body."

Upon her words, the crowd was in uproar.

What is rcury? It’s rcury indeed! In ancient Huaxia, so alchemy masters used rcury in alchemy. Although there were rumors of their elixirs curing epilepsy, the most abundant examples were several generations of brilliant and majestic Emperors being gradually poisoned to death!

Lady Chen exclaid in disbelief, "How is that possible! This dicine was bought from the most reputable Yuan Chun Hall in Central Province!"

Ning Xiaoxian didn’t argue: "Facts speak louder than words. Just have it tested, and we will know, right?"

Imdiately, the Chen Mansion dispatched people to fetch doctors. Ning Xiaoxian reminded, "Bring several more," to avoid any issues with the doctors who were called.

Chen Bucao looked at her, understanding her intention: "What a clever girl."

The doctors took out a Yuan Chun Hall Cold Fragrance Pill for testing. After a while, the results showed it was non-toxic!

Everyone’s gaze fixed on Ning Xiaoxian. So were angry, so were secretly pleased, and so were worried, but the main sentint among the Chen Family was: Let’s see how you are going to talk your way out of this!

Luckily, she remained confident and only hinted, "There are still sixteen pills left here, pick a few more and test them in the water." Not waiting for others, she efficiently placed the pills into the water with the silver chopsticks, one by one, and had the doctors test again.

Chen Bucao, a man with good eyesight, noticed how skillfully Ning Xiaoxian handled the slippery pills with her silver chopsticks without dropping any, his heart slightly startled.

This ti, the test results finally showed a toxic reaction.

She secretly breathed a huge sigh of relief internally, yet maintained a smile on her face, "How about that? If the quantity of the poison was heavier, Lord Chen would have been affected earlier. It’s only this trace amount of rcury that could make the effects of the Cold Fragrance Pills appear better."

The Chen Family mbers looked at each other, eventually, the Family Head ordered an investigation into the origin of these pills. Lady Chen, still puzzled, asked, "This... young lady, why did the lord only show symptoms of poisoning today?"

In the end, she still didn’t believe that this girl’s elixir had nothing to do with the incident. Ning Xiaoxian shook her head: "The Cold Fragrance Pills I make do not contain any toxins, this has just been verified by the doctors along with my own pills, I can assure you of that." The doctors nodded repeatedly, and she continued, "However, I added Floral Leaf Begonia to my dicine which could normally enhance the efficacy. But there is one thing, Floral Leaf Begonia extrely dislikes rcury. If by chance they converge, it would also trigger the toxicity of the rcury. Lord Chen has been taking Yuan Chun Hall’s Cold Fragrance Pills for over half a year, with toxins accumulating daily in his body. Once triggered, the effects are fatal."

"Without the catalysis of Floral Leaf Begonia, Lord Chen might have managed another couple of months before showing symptoms. But by then, being more profoundly poisoned, once symptoms erged, no dicine could save him."

With these words, the hall fell silent.

Her expression darkened: "Floral Leaf Begonia was originally our family’s secret recipe, and to prove my innocence, I had no choice but to disclose it today. Lord Chen, you have seen my sincerity."

Chen Bucao remained silent for a long ti, finally nodding and signaling his servant to convey a ssage. Ning Xiaoxian, with her exceptional hearing, heard him say: "Send a ssage to the governnt office, we won’t press charges against this rchant team for now."

She knew the Chen Mansion was still sowhat skeptical, so she picked up the dicine pills from the table and flicked them like marbles at the opposite white wall, each pill embedding deeply into the wall. Performing this action, her movents were as graceful as a Buddha’s hand, yet as these pills unhurriedly squeezed into the wall, no one dared underestimate this young lady anymore.

The expressions of Chen Mansion’s people gradually grimaced. Only then did she pat her hands and said: "Lord Chen, even if you want to detain , you can’t. I will be in Anping City for the next few days. If you need , just notify the Cloud Tiger Trading Team." (To be continued.
