Pharmacist Sub-Hall.

Entrance to the upper-grade trading area.

The roar of Shao Mochi echoed in the air, and the majority of the cultivators around them agreed with him.

Liu Qicang, as the Great Elder of this Pharmacist Sub-Hall, had actually struck the Third Elder, all for the sake of a kid from the Lower Realm.

It made no sense, either morally or logically.

Even if this matter were taken to the General Hall, given the Pharmacist Hall’s tendency to shield its own, Liu Qicang’s position as the Great Elder was definitely untenable.

The onlooking cultivators shook their heads secretly, not planning to intervene anymore.

However, in their view, it would be extremely difficult for Liu Qicang to get through this ordeal.

Upon learning that Shen Feng was merely a youngster who had come from the Lower Realm, Gu Haohua thoroughly relaxed.

If Shen Feng had truly been a genius Alchemist from the General Hall, it was certain that he, Gu Haohua, would have been in big trouble today.

This time, it seemed to be an excellent opportunity.

If Liu Qicang’s position as the Great Elder was not secure, then perhaps his master could take another step forward within this Sub-Hall.

Once his master’s status increased, he, as the disciple, would naturally rise with the tide.

His eyes fixed on Song Guangliang, he slurred his words and shouted, “Great Elder, it was this kid who framed me for stealing his Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and this ‘senior’ of yours has directly beaten me into this state.”

“Just because you were once acquainted with the person who injured me, does that give you the right to deal with this matter so unjustly?

I, Gu Haohua, do not accept this!

I believe that all the Alchemists of this Pharmacist Sub-Hall will not agree with your actions.”

Gu Haohua was adept at stirring emotions.

After hearing his words, some Alchemists who had gathered around felt a sense of shared sorrow, and they all began to shout.

“Great Elder, what Gu Haohua said makes sense.

You must handle this matter impartially.

Perhaps this youngster has a debt of gratitude toward you in the Lower Realm, but now you are our Great Elder.

Do you want to let us down?”

“Great Elder, if you persist in acting alone, we will protest to the General Hall.

You must now obtain the forgiveness of the Third Elder, and these two people must not be allowed to leave here alive today, no matter what.”

…

Heartened by the support of these Alchemists, Shao Mochi and Gu Haohua, the master and disciple duo, felt a touch of joy rising within.

Especially Shao Mochi, who, with a mockingly playful look in his eyes, directed a sound transmission to Liu Qicang, “Old fool, weren’t you hitting with joy just now?

Don’t even dream of sitting in the Great Elder’s seat again.”

“If you don’t appease me today, the consequences will not just be your failure to remain as the Great Elder.

With so many Alchemists on my side, if the General Hall learns of this, you will likely be expelled from the Pharmacist Hall.”

In response to Shao Mochi’s sound transmission, Liu Qicang’s eyes darkened ominously.

He sent a sound transmission to Shen Feng, “Senior, what exactly happened here?”

Shen Feng recounted the recent events briefly using sound transmission.

When Liu Qicang heard about Gu Haohua’s theft of Song Guangliang’s Spirit Enhancement Fruit, his expression grew colder and colder.

He hadn’t expected Gu Haohua to be so shameless as to break the rules of the Pharmacist Hall.

To rob a trader of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures was a capital offense!

Song Guangliang, standing behind Shen Feng, had been in shock ever since Liu Qicang slapped Shao Mochi.

Watching the situation develop to this point, he hadn’t expected that even with the Great Elder on their side, things still seemed very unfavorable for them.

He didn’t want to bring trouble to Shen Feng or Liu Qicang.

Summoning his courage, he stepped forward and said, “This matter arose because of me, and I am willing to take responsibility alone.”

“Gu Haohua, whatever way you choose to deal with me is irrelevant; please, do not drag others into this.”

Upon hearing this,

Gu Haohua finally crawled up from the ground, his face a blurry mess of blood and flesh, looking somewhat terrifying.

He coldly shouted, “Song Guangliang, can you afford the consequences?

You’re just a lower-class loose cultivator, and this bastard who injured me is even more worthless, just trash from the Lower Realm.

Today, neither of you will leave here alive.”

Shao Mochi, who had already stood up as well, watched the development of the situation with cold indifference, his heart filled with immense hatred towards Liu Qicang.

As the saying goes, ‘to beat someone is not to slap their face,’ and today he had been slapped so many times by Liu Qicang; how could he swallow such an insult!

After Liu Qicang learnt what had transpired, he, on the contrary, calmed down, and Shen Feng let him handle everything.

Liu Qicang’s body burst with momentum, and with a wave of his arm towards the wall at the entrance of the Upper Grade trading area,

a gap appeared around two meters high on the wall, where a round object resembling a crystal ball was placed.

This crystal ball directly flew into Liu Qicang’s hands, and he laughed, “I forgot to mention to you that not long ago, I placed a treasure capable of recording images in every trading area.”

“Only I and my few disciples knew about this.

Over the past few years, in various Pharmacist branches, some Alchemists have frequently robbed loose cultivators of their Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

I was directly ordered by the General Hall to discreetly place these image-recording treasures.”

After a pause, his icy gaze turned to Gu Haohua and Shao Mochi, “Now, let me show you what happened here just now.”

Seeing this,

Shao Mochi and Gu Haohua suddenly became frantic.

They had never imagined that there would be an image-recording treasure here, and probably even the Hall Master didn’t know about this.

If the recent images were to be revealed, Gu Haohua simply couldn’t bear the crime of robbing traders, and inevitably Shao Mochi would also be implicated.

Just at that moment!

A shadow swiftly appeared on the scene.

The comer was a middle-aged man with a very solemn expression, emitting the aura of someone superior, and from within him faintly radiated the presence of a Half-step Immortal Sovereign.

He was Lin Wanhao, the Hall Master of this branch, and like Liu Qicang, a Fifth Grade Alchemist.

When Liu Qicang first came here, he was still a Fourth Grade Alchemist!

After his breakthrough to Fifth Grade, Lin Wanhao felt an increasing sense of urgency.

Lin Wanhao had been watching from the shadows, originally thinking he could kick Liu Qicang out of the branch today.

However, he hadn’t expected this old fellow to secretly place image-recording treasures at the entrance of each trading area behind his back, forcing him to show himself, especially since the Third Elder was his man.

“Great Elder, we’re all people of the Pharmacist Hall, and both sides are at fault here.

Let’s call it to an end,” Lin Wanhao casually suggested.

Liu Qicang couldn’t help but glance at Shen Feng.

After Lin Wanhao saw this, he hadn’t expected this young man to hold such a high place in Liu Qicang’s heart.

His gaze shifted to Shen Feng, speaking condescendingly, “You’re a cultivator from the Lower Realm?

It must have been hard coming to the Middle Realm.

How about this – from now on, whenever you come to our branch to buy the Pills you need, I will let you purchase them at half price.”

“Give me a bit of face, I don’t want to see this matter dragged out any further.

I’m sure you’ll agree, right?”

As the others saw Lin Wanhao’s appearance, they knew that this affair should be coming to a conclusion.

The strained nerves of Shao Mochi and Gu Haohua finally relaxed a little.

But facing Lin Wanhao’s gaze, Shen Feng shrugged his shoulders, asked with a puzzled expression, “Who are you?

Do I know you?

Why should I give you face?”
