The words 'Spiritual Energy' caused the entire private room to hum, Master Huo unleashed his inner energy, forming a surge of force that swept around, scattering the fruit placed on the table.
The Heavenly Spirit Pill was a simplified version he had created, its effectiveness less than one ten-thousandth of the original formula, but in Canglan City, it was definitely one of the best pills.
Regarding the efficacy of the Heavenly Spirit Pill, the Pill Formula had a detailed introduction, far surpassing all pills currently sold on the market.
What shocked him was that the raw Materials required were ten times cheaper than those for a second-grade Yangxin Pill, consisting of common Spiritual Herbs found on the market, such as Chicken Crest Grass, which was everywhere.
"You actually came here causing trouble with a fake Pill Formula.
Considering this is your first offense, I can spare you once.
Get out of here immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite."
A hint of greed flashed in Master Huo's eyes, quickly concealed.
If he could master the method of refining the Heavenly Spirit Pill, he could advance to a three-star Alchemist and head to the Great Yan Royal City, which was the true gathering place for Cultivators.
Canglan City was just a corner, a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Great Yan Dynasty.
What was tyranny?
This was tyranny.
Wanting to annex the Pill Formula, his face turned faster than flipping a book.
He already had a clear understanding of the medicinal ingredients in the Pill Formula.
Given a month to research, he would definitely be able to refine it.
Framing Liu Wuxie for bringing a fake Pill Formula, his motive was obvious.
Lei Tao's eyes showed a strange look.
Based on his understanding of Master Huo, if the Pill Formula were truly fake, he would have already flicked his sleeves and left, or even resorted to violence.
The scene before him made him somewhat unable to grasp it.
The value of this Pill Formula could make a dignified two-star Alchemist abandon his dignity and frame a mere live-in son-in-law.
"Clap, clap, clap..."
Liu Wuxie suddenly clapped his hands, a strong hint of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Master Huo's greedy gaze naturally did not escape his eyes.
"Danbao Pavilion truly opened my eyes.
Just a small Pill Formula, yet it makes you reveal such ugly faces.
Today truly opened my eyes."
His face full of sarcasm, Master Huo's face alternated between red and green, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Lei Tao lowered his head even further, his face full of shame.
"Little Kid, you injured my Danbao Pavilion attendants and tried to deceive us with a fake Pill Formula.
You deserve ten thousand deaths."
Master Huo completely tore off his disguise.
His robes billowed, and a powerful Aura swept towards Liu Wuxie, forcefully suppressing him.
Finding a crime to frame him and taking the Pill Formula would be logical.
Even if he made a fuss, who would believe the words of a good-for-nothing, especially a mere live-in son-in-law?
"Kill me?"
"Just with you?"
Liu Wuxie sneered repeatedly, his gaze piercing directly at Master Huo, without any intention of retreating.
His sharp eyes, like two sharp swords, pierced straight into Master Huo's Soul, causing his body to sway and almost fall.
What kind of eyes were these, capable of seeing through falsehood?
Master Huo was incredibly angry.
In Danbao Pavilion, his status was second only to the Pavilion Master.
Even Lei Tao was polite to him.
When had he ever suffered such humiliation, being scared by a mere ant?
His eyes showed a fierce light: "You're courting death, then I'll grant you your wish."
He was about to suppress Liu Wuxie with a palm.
Lei Tao wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
He hadn't expected things to develop like this, with Master Huo suddenly making a killing move.
"If you want to die sooner, go ahead and attack.
Every time you refine pills, does your Tanzhong Acupoint experience intense pain?
And over the past year or two, the pain has become increasingly severe, requiring you to take painkillers to alleviate it."
Liu Wuxie stood quietly in place, without even a posture to fight back.
Lei Tao was about to speak to stop him, when Master Huo's hand suddenly withdrew, staring at Liu Wuxie as if he had seen a ghost.
This was his secret, how did he know?
Indeed, every time he refined pills, his Tanzhong Acupoint experienced severe pain.
In the past few months, the pain had been so excruciating that he wanted to die.
Danbao Pavilion sold a large quantity of pills every month, most of the Peiyuan Pills came from Master Huo's hand.
In the past two months, the quantity of Peiyuan Pills had repeatedly decreased.
Master Huo claimed he wasn't feeling well, and everyone didn't pay much attention.
"You... how do you know..."
He panicked, regretting it as soon as he spoke, wasn't that admitting what Liu Wuxie said?
Thinking of the pain coming from his Tanzhong Acupoint, a trace of pleading flashed in his eyes.
"To advance to a two-star Alchemist, you forcefully swallowed a Spirit Breaking Pill, causing damage to your heart.
The heart belongs to the Fire Attribute.
Every time you refine pills, controlling the Fire Attribute puts immense pressure on your heart, which is transmitted to your Tanzhong Acupoint.
Within three months, you will surely die."
Liu Wuxie did not hide anything, stating the problem within his body.
Master Huo's face changed drastically repeatedly.
Even the matter of him swallowing the Spirit Breaking Pill was dug out, as if he had been stripped naked and stood before them.
Lei Tao's mouth was wide open.
The Spirit Breaking Pill was a forbidden pill.
After swallowing it, the side effects were extremely obvious, and no one was willing to try it.
"What should I do?
You must know a way, right?"
Master Huo panicked, he didn't want to die yet.
He grabbed Liu Wuxie's arm, wanting to know how to resolve it.
The intense pain from his Tanzhong Acupoint left him with lingering fears.
At most three months, he would be tortured to death by the pain.
"There is a way, but... why should I save you!"
He shook him off fiercely, his face full of contempt.
Even Lei Tao found it hard to watch.
Just now, he had framed Liu Wuxie for bringing a fake Pill Formula and almost killed him to silence him.
"As long as you can save me, I can agree to any condition.
Money?
Beauties?
Whatever you want, I'll give it all to you."
As the Chief Alchemist of Danbao Pavilion, he had accumulated a considerable fortune over the years.
If it could save his life, he was willing to hand over this wealth.
"Give it all to me?"
Liu Wuxie let out a cold laugh.
"The things I want, even Danbao Pavilion may not be able to produce."
A hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.
How much wealth could a mere second-grade Alchemist possess?
He truly didn't take it seriously.
"Liu Gongzi, please, how can you be willing to save me?"
Master Huo abandoned his dignity.
The pain in his Tanzhong Acupoint made him wish he were dead.
His eyes showed a pleading look, like a drowning person grasping at a life-saving straw.
"It is possible to save you, but I don't want your wealth.
I came to Danbao Pavilion for only one purpose: to cooperate with you."
Once the Heavenly Spirit Pill was released, there would be no shortage of resources flowing in.
He didn't want to be controlled by others and wanted to keep the initiative in his own hands.
"Quickly, tell me, how do you want to cooperate?"
Master Huo was anxious, his eyes fervent, leaving Lei Tao speechless.
Was this still the two-star Alchemist in his mind?
He was almost like a pug, just short of kneeling down and licking Liu Wuxie's shoes.
"Do you have the qualifications?"
The cold mocking sound was like a harsh slap across Master Huo's face.
No matter how much it hurt, he had to endure it.
To live, he could even abandon his dignity.
Lei Tao really couldn't bear to watch anymore and turned his head away.
The scene that unfolded today completely overturned his worldview.
A mere live-in son-in-law, who injured more than a dozen Qingyi attendants in the main hall, sent the main hall leader flying with a single palm, produced a mysterious Pill Formula, and even revealed Master Huo's hidden illness, forcing him to willingly humble himself.
Was this still the same profligate live-in son-in-law from before?
"The Pavilion Master is not in Canglan City.
For matters of cooperation, this old man can make the decision alone.
Just name your terms."
After Master Huo finished speaking, he glanced at Lei Tao, who did not express dissent, proving that what he said was true and he indeed had the qualifications.
Liu Wuxie was not in a hurry to discuss cooperation.
He asked Master Huo to take out a set of silver needles and first treat the severe illness in his body.
His fingers were like the wind.
Finger-long silver needles were inserted into Master Huo's Tanzhong Acupoint, emitting a slight rhythmic sound.
One after another, dazzlingly fast.
Lei Tao's face changed repeatedly.
In his memory, the Xu Family's live-in son-in-law knew nothing except eating, drinking, and playing.
All the silver needles accurately pierced into the various acupoints around his body.
A warm current originated from the soles of Master Huo's feet, extending to his limbs and bones.
The dull pain in his Tanzhong Acupoint was gradually disappearing, which made him incredibly excited.
"Your hidden illness is too deep, it will require five sessions to completely eradicate it."
Pulling out the silver needles, Liu Wuxie said without a trace of emotion.
With his methods, he could cure it in one session.
If he cured him so quickly, and then he turned hostile and denied everything, wouldn't it be a complete waste of effort?
"Thank you, Liu Gongzi.
Great kindness needs no words of thanks.
I will remember this favor.
In the future, if there is anything you need from this old man, just ask."
He had a completely different expression, a stark contrast to his appearance just now.
"There's no need for thanks.
Next, let's discuss cooperation."
Liu Wuxie waved his hand to interrupt him.
The situation in the private room underwent a dramatic reversal.
Everything revolved around Liu Wuxie.
The most bizarre thing was that he actually exuded the Aura of a superior.
