Eternal Sword Monarch

Zheng Yan was instantly angered. He pointed at Xia Ling and cursed without caring about his manners, "What do you know? The water of the underworld was the world's most toxic poison, and this was already the best result! Your words are simply making people laugh! "    

    

Xia Ling took out his pill casually: "Then let's take a look."    

    

With that, he also threw the Spirit Water Pill into the furnace.    

    

The pill slowly sank into the water, not even letting out a single bubble. The dark liquid was still black.    

    

"Hmph," Zheng Yan laughed, "This is your pill? It was completely ineffective. You couldn't have used a rock to disguise yourself, right? "    

    

In his opinion, if Xia Ling couldn't concoct the Spirit Water Pill, then it wasn't strange at all. That was a fourth rank pill, a ten year old brat, how could he refine it?    

    

Xia Yanru was also worried. Of course, she knew Xia Ling's standards, but people would sometimes fail. Will there be any problems this time?    

    

However, Xia Ling's expression remained calm as he said lightly: "Keep watching."    

    

"What can we do if we continue watching? You …" Zheng Yan was about to say something, but he seemed to have witnessed some amazing change. His eyes were wide open as he lost his voice in an instant.    

    

That was because he had noticed the drastic change in the color of the liquid underworld grass, and it instantly turned lighter!    

    

No, it was not that the color had turned pale, but it was as if the color had been washed away! The liquid that was originally as thick as ink was now as clear as water!    

    

It was so transparent that one could clearly see the patterns on the bottom of the bowl!    

    

This... this... Not only Zheng Yan, even Song Shengcheng was dumbstruck with his mouth wide open. Although he did not know how to refine pills, he did know a bit — but he had never seen such a terrifying scene!    

    

Could it be that he had purified the nether grass water into clean water? Zheng Yan shook his head in fear and tried his best to drive this unbelievable thought out of his mind.    

    

Unless...    

    

He suddenly thought of something and shouted, "This is definitely not a Spirit Water Pill, it should be some trick to deceive the eyes, right? You must have used some other method to change the color of the water, and the poison has not been resolved at all! "    

    

The more Zheng Yan said, the more sure he became. He even revealed a smile on his face, "You want to cheat a fifth-grade apothecary to be your Spring and Autumn dream …"    

    

Xia Ling was too lazy to argue with him. He just picked up the bowl of clear water and took a sip.    

    

"You, you, you, you …" Zheng Yan screamed, as if something had grabbed his neck.    

    

He actually dared to drink Dark Grass Water, this lunatic! He must be crazy!    

    

Song Shengcheng was also shocked, but a thought slowly crept into his mind. He felt that he might lose this competition...    

    

However, Zheng Yan's view of the world seemed to have been destroyed.    

    

The fifth rank alchemist instantly turned hysterical as he yelled in disbelief, "Brat, you will die. There is no Spirit Water Pill that can completely neutralize the poison of the Underworld Grass Water. You will die a horrible death! "    

    

No, that was impossible. This brat would definitely be poisoned to death in a moment!    

    

Yes, that's right.    

    

Xia Ling shook his head. This alchemist didn't give up. Wasn't his level too low?    

    

It was really a waste of effort for him to be so serious in configuring the pill. To duel with such a person, no, speaking to such a person was simply disrespecting one's identity.    

    

Therefore, Xia Ling did not plan to say a word to Zheng Yan.    

    

He took another sip of the water.    

    

Looking at this scene, Zheng Yan felt his blood boiling. He said crazily: "I got it, it must be something wrong with the Underworld Grass Water that you prepared! This is not water from the underworld at all! " As he spoke, he picked up his bowl and gulped down a big mouthful!    

    

Wow, there shouldn't be anything wrong with this apothecary's head, right? Xia Ling was completely dumbfounded as he held the bowl in his hands.    

    

Is he really a fifth rank apothecary? It couldn't be that Song Shengcheng was tricked and found the martial arts style, right?    

    

Zheng Yan drank it in one gulp and actually felt an unprecedented refreshing feeling. He laughed out loud: "I knew there was something wrong with this water!"    

    

However, before he could finish his sentence, a mouthful of pus and blood spurted out from his mouth. A nervous smile still hung on his blood-red face as he muttered to himself, "This is real underworld water …"    

    

Zheng Yan fell down like a puppet.    

    

For a moment, the entire meeting room was silent.    

    

After what seemed like an eternity, Song Shengcheng finally reacted. He hugged Zheng Yan and shouted in grief and indignation, "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng!"    

    

His heart was about to break. He was a fifth-grade apothecary! If he died in front of him, his father would tear him into pieces!    

    

The young master has plenty of Soong Family, but he is the only fifth-grade apothecary!    

    

"Don't worry, he's fine." Xia Ling's voice came slowly, "Although the nether grass water was poisonous, it was also purified by the Spirit Water Pill once. Although this alchemist's level was a little lacking, he could still be considered to be able to display the effect that a pill should have. Right now, he is most likely suffering from a burning heart. "    

    

"I think the result of this competition is already very clear."    

    

Xia Yanru did not care what happened to Zheng Yan. He only vomited blood after running to the Xia Family. It was too cheap.    

    

"Looks like cousin's alchemist is really lacking in standards." She giggled and said, "I think that it's safer for our Xia Family to go out to participate in this Pill Assembly."    

    

Song Shengcheng's face was twisted as he glared at Xia Ling. However, Zheng Yan's situation had also left him with no time to deal with other matters. Third Young Master of the Soong Family could only gnash his teeth and say: "You two, very good, very good, just you wait!"    

    

As he spoke, he carried Zheng Yan and prepared to leave.    

    

"Hey, wait a moment, cousin." How could Xia Yanru let Song Shengcheng leave so easily? She put her arm around the two of them and politely asked, "I wonder, when will the wager you promised be redeemed?"    

    

This was a request Xia Ling made with great difficulty, how could the girl forget about it?    

    

Song Shengcheng's eyes looked like they were about to spew fire, but after thinking about the situation, he managed to hold it in. He pulled out a brocade sack from his waist and threw it to Xia Yanru. As if his voice was rusty, he said, "I'll just give it to you. I, Song Shengcheng, am not a person who goes back on my word!"    

    

Before he could finish his words, he had already left.    

    

However, he roared in his heart, "Xia Yanru, I will definitely make you pay!" Absolutely!    

    

This time, he was going to suffer a thousand times more humiliation than ever before. Song Shengcheng swore, if he could control Xia Family, he would definitely make Xia Yanru regret what she had done!    

    

However, no one cared about the laments of the defeated dogs.    

    

Xia Yanru weighed the brocade sack in her hand and handed it to Xia Ling: "Look, this is what we agreed on. It's yours."    

    

Xia Ling smiled from the bottom of his heart and said solemnly: "Then I thank Second Miss."    

    

Seeing this scene, Xia Yanru suddenly had a thought. Should I thank my cousin Song Shengcheng?    

    

If he didn't appear, why would Xia Ling thank him so sincerely?    

    

The young girl's face also revealed a trace of a faint smile. Good, I must leave this youth within the Xia Family! He couldn't let anyone take it away from him!
