Chapter 528: Only 134 Seconds

“Relax, he won’t survive,” Xia Fei casually said.

Yu Hua was startled. He did not know where Xia Fei’s confidence was coming from, but he could not help but be amazed by his self-assured demeanor.

‘Could Xia Fei also be an Apothecary?’ Yu Hua wondered.

Apothecaries were in the minority at the Law Realm, but everyone knew that there were some things that only Apothecaries could do. For example, if an Adept damaged their seventh brain region while cultivating a Law, while the surrounding brain cells would not all die like in Xia Fei’s case, even a bit of damage would affect the adept’s cultivation progress and level.

After all, injuries to the seventh brain region were not like ordinary injuries and were very difficult to heal.

Those Apothecaries who could treat injuries of the seventh brain region were incredibly popular people in the Law Realm, comparable to the revered energy masters!

At this time, elder Yu Changgeng and Apothecary Yu Youdu walked over.

The Yu family had an Elder Court which consisted of nine elders. The head elder was Patriarch Yu Jiang, and Yu Changgeng was one of the elders possessing a high position in the Family.

Yu Hua and Yu Changgeng greeted each other, with the latter being very polite to the former. It seemed like all the members of the clan were on particularly good terms with this unscrupulous businessman.

“The rules of the contest will be like this: Over there is an Adept called Yu Lian. His seventh brain region is somewhat damaged. You and Youdu will give him medicines according to your prescribed methods. The one who can treat him will be the victor.

“Your quarrel arose from a prescription for a drug which can heal the seventh brain region, so I presume that there’s no problem with using this to determine the victor, yes?” Yu Changgeng asked.

Yu Youdu expressed his agreement. He had discussed these rules with Yu Changgeng already, so he naturally had no objection.

Xia Fei shook his head. “When an Apothecary gives medicine, they first have to guarantee that it has no side effects. If you’re giving a sick person medicine, you have to take it yourself first to show that it’s not poisonous.

“Make two servings. The first one we will drink ourselves to prove that it is not poisonous, and only then will we give it to someone else,” Xia Fei sternly said.

Everyone was shocked. Xia Fei was proposing that the two of them serve as test subjects for their concoctions!

If there was a problem with the medicine, the first to die would be the one who made it!

Yu Youdu laughed heartily. “As long as you stick with putting Small Net Red in your medicine, I guarantee that you won’t live to see tonight’s moon!”

Yu Youdu was incredibly confident in his prescription. Xia Fei’s proposal to test the medicine on themselves was exactly what he wanted.

Xia Fei indifferently retorted, “The moon? I can guarantee that you won’t live three minutes.”

Neither side was backing down, so it was best to let their medicines do the talking!

The two of them were both using lethal medicines in their prescriptions!

This testing of medicines on themselves would be a mortal confrontation!

Yu Changgeng announced the rules of the contest, and everyone thought that they were right. It made sense for Apothecaries to test their medicines on themselves, and no one could give a good argument against it.

However, from the tense looks on the faces of Xia Fei and Yu Youdu, the crowd speculated that there might be some hidden danger to this contest!

Xia Fei and Yu Youdu first inspected the patient, Yu Lian, and his damaged seventh brain region. The damage to the adept’s brain region was not serious and came from cultivating too much. It was much better compared to the former state of Xia Fei’s seventh brain region, and there was hope of healing it.

The signal was given for the Apothecaries to get to work.

Xia Fei was to the left, Yu Youdu to the right. Each with their tools, they began mixing their medicines.

Xia Fei did everything methodically: sorting, purifying, mixing, and stirring… Moreover, Xia Fei had an excellent grasp of time and was able to mix in new ingredients at any moment, his accuracy down to the microsecond.

Yu Youdu began to panic a little. It appeared that the licenseless Xia Fei was even more skilled than a licensed Apothecary. Was he really an Apothecary? Was he also skilled in the art of mixing medicines?

Yu Youdu did not have the skill to make a high-difficulty medicine which could completely repair the seventh brain region. If he had been this capable, he would have already been rich. The so-called prescription was really just a topic of idle conversation. None of them had actually succeeded with it.

However, Xia Fei was different. In order to repair his brain region, Xia Fei had tried all sorts of concoctions and was familiar with every sort of ingredient, so he was bursting with confidence! His attitude was relaxed and determined!

To those who did not know the truth, Xia Fei appeared to be the real Apothecary while Yu Youdu appeared somewhat fearful.

“I didn’t think that this cockroach knew how to make medicines!” said Yu Qiqi as she stood in the crowd with folded arms.

Yu Hua pointed to a sit next to him, indicating that she should sit down.

Yu Qiqi happily ran through the crowd and sat down next to Yu Hua. She sweetly smiled as she called him her uncle.

“Qiqi, you seem to have gotten prettier since we last met,” Yu Hua said.

Yu Qiqi proudly replied, “Haha, of course! Do you think that Xia Fei will die from his own medicine?”

“Do you very much hope for Xia Fei to die?”

Yu Qiqi firmly nodded. “Of course I do. I hate that cockroach. I’d like nothing more than to tear him apart myself!”

Yu Hua smiled and muttered to himself, “He probably won’t die that easily.”

“Why?” Yu Qiqi did not get it. “It’s not like he’s an Apothecary. Isn’t competing with a real Apothecary in terms of making medicine suicidal?”

Yu Hua replied, “You can’t just look at things on the surface. While Yu Youdu is a legitimate Apothecary, look at how nervous he is. He clearly isn’t confident in himself. As for Xia Fei, he looks confident and relaxed.

“If an Apothecary isn’t confident in his medicine, how can he convince others of it?”

Yu Qiqi frowned and spoke in disgust. “I hate how Xia Fei always looks like he doesn’t care. He doesn’t even look me straight in the eyes!”

As they were talking, Xia Fei finished mixing his medicine before Yu Youdu, and two bottles of faint yellow liquid were placed on the table.

Without even one second of hesitation, Xia Fei downed one of the bottles!

This was self-confidence!

Xia Fei was confident that there was no problem with his medicine!

Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei sat down and waited.

This placed all the pressure on Yu Youdu’s shoulders. Xia Fei had already proven that there was nothing wrong with his mixture. Everyone was now looking at Yu Youdu in hopes of seeing the final result.

Pouring the liquid in the mixing vessel into two glass bottles, Yu Youdu was disconcerted. He just could not understand. Small Net Red had the fiercer medicinal effect, so why was Xia Fei fine? Was he really wrong?

His medicine was done mixing, but Yu Youdu was reluctant to drink it.

The spectators did not like this. Most of them had come to see a show, and Yu Youdu’s unwillingness to drink his medicine drew their ire.

“Are you good or not?”

“He’s already drunk his medicine; why haven’t you?”

“Is your mixture really lethal?” Various piercing cries rang out in the lobby. Yu Youdu turned pale, and sweat began to drip down his face.

“Why don’t we just end it there?” Elder Yu Changgeng was a distant relative of his, and even a fool could see that Yu Youdu was not confident in his mixture. Thus, he tried to persuade Yu Youdu into giving up.

Xia Fei snorted, muttering, “This is a licensed Apothecary? Very impressive.”

*Gulp!*

Provoked by Xia Fei, Yu Youdu drank the contents of one of his bottles.

Xia Fei did not wait for the result. Standing up, he began walking out.

“Where are you going?” asked Yu Hua with a smile. “How can you leave when the result isn’t even out yet?”

A smile on his lips, Xia Fei nonchalantly replied, “You best prepare his funeral. He still have 134 seconds left.”

The crowd hurriedly opened a path for him, and Xia Fei coolly walked out of Plentiful Peace Hall, leaving behind the gobsmacked crowd and a pale-faced Apothecary.

Some busybody had a timer, and the place was silent as everyone stared at level 3 Apothecary Yu Youdu.

10, 9, 8… 3, 2, 1.

As the counter ticked down, Yu Youdu’s eyes suddenly rolled over, and he collapsed to the ground, with froth coming out of his mouth while his entire body convulsed!

“Dead! He’s really dead!”

“It really was exactly as Xia Fei said!”

“Between Xia Fei and Yu Youdu, just who is the real Apothecary?”

The crowd chattered. The society of the Law Realm did not have much sentimentality. No one came up to worry over Yu Youdu. All they saw was a loser, and a loser’s death won no sympathy.

Yu Qiqi looked at Yu Hua with her mouth agape. She mumbled in shock, “He said that the man would die, and he really died? Xia Fei’s really maazing!”

Yu Hua furrowed his brows as he played around with a pill in his hand. He had intended to give it to Xia Fei, but since the loser was Yu Youdu, he naturally had no intention of wasting this precious pill.

“A brain region that is 100% open, Skywing Bloodline, and even an Apothecary?” Yu Hua softly mumbled. “Xia Fei is truly a rather interesting character.”

Everyone was focused on how Yu Youdu had died and in exactly the same way Xia Fei had said he would, down to the very second.

No one noticed a hand reaching out of the crowd and snatching away the bottle of light yellow medicine that Xia Fei had left on the table and then vanishing without a trace.

To Xia Fei, the medicine mixing was just a minor interlude that he paid little attention to.

With an expert like Phantom at his side, Xia Fei did not waste time actually studying pharmacology. He left this task to Phantom. In any case, Phantom had plenty of time, and their lives were linked to each other. Xia Fei would benefit if Phantom could meet with success in pharmacology.

His primary task was to resolve the problem with the Law of Energy Purification and get ever closer to the revered profession of Energy Master quickly!

Energy was money, cultivation, and power!

All of it required the support of a massive amount of energy!

Success in the Law Realm required passing through the trial of energy!

He had gone to great lengths to get the Law of Energy Purification. Xia Fei had no intention of giving up on this chance to become an Energy Master.

A silver bathtub was placed in the training room, and Xia Fei poured in the medical concoction.

“165 third-tier Origin Crystals! You could buy a system with that in the Alliance, but now I’m using it for a bath! Spending money? This is burning money!” Xia Fei said, mocking himself.

Phantom casually replied, “Once you become an Energy Master, won’t you have as many Origin Crystals as you want? Once you experience this medicine, you’ll change your opinion.”

Once water was poured in, the medicinal concoction became as blue as the sky.

Xia Fei thrust a hand in and found that the water was not cold. Actually, it was rather warm.

Taking off his clothes, he entered the bathtub. The temperature was just right, and he felt incredibly comfortable.

The warmth penetrated right into the marrow of his bones.

“You can start now. You’ll soon realize that this money isn’t wasted, and it’s more than worth it!” Phantom proudly proclaimed.

Xia Fei nodded and began, once more, forming the pattern of the Law of Energy Purification in his seventh brain region!
