Chapter 1983: Well-Deserved Reputation

y man who was nearly six feet tall. He had no hair on his head, which was completely bald except for a blood-red spider tattooed on it, giving him a terrifying and menacing appearance.Behind the burly...Upon hearing Ye Bufan's words, everyone present gasped in shock.

Seven orifices bleeding, exploding and dying, this is really too terrifying!

Zhang Laifu's forehead was already beading with cold sweat. He knew very well the process of refining this pill. It was indeed consistent with what a third-order alchemist who had just advanced would say.

The reason for having that person refine the Barrier-Breaking Pill was because it cost half as much as a mature alchemist.

He was an amateur alchemist, originally thinking that this method would only result in slightly weaker medicinal effects, nothing major. Of course, he never imagined that it would produce a poisonous pill.

It's useless to regret now. He took a deep breath, easing his nervous tension.

At the same time, a hint of doubt arose in his heart. Although the other party spoke eloquently, there were very few alchemists on the Kunlun Continent.

An alchemist who can reach the level of third rank or above is at least forty or fifty years old, and many even have a lot of eyebrows and whiskers.

But this young man, who was only around twenty years old, how could he possibly know so much

Suddenly, he had a thought. The other party must have come to see this pill long ago and done some research on it.

All talk and no action, that's just fooling yourself.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer. A young punk was showing off in front of him, like someone brandishing a sword before Guan Yu.

"Boy, are you kidding us Every pill sold by our Zhu Bao Ge is genuine. We would never sell counterfeit pills or poisonous ones!"

"Can you gain popularity just by talking nonsense like this Look, who would believe you!"

After Zhang Laifu finished speaking, the onlookers buzzed with discussion again. They all felt that this young man was talking too outrageously.

"This is simple, just try it won't you" Ye Bufan smiled and said, "Zhang Guanxi, your Ju Bao Pavilion wouldn't even have a Caotui beast, would you"

This is a very low-grade demon beast, not even reaching level one. It looks like a rabbit on Earth, but it's smaller in size.

The Grass Fox weasel originates from the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range. It occupies the lowest rung of the food chain, has a docile temperament and lacks aggression. However, it is extremely sensitive to medicinal pills, and many places capture them for use as test animals in pill refinement.

When he was in Tianlang City, he had seen a few of them at Su Dingfang's medical hall.

Of course we have that.

Zhang Laifu frowned. The other party was clearly bluffing, trying to extort him. Why would they proactively offer to test the pill Didn't they fear their ruse being exposed

No matter what, the arrow is on the string and must be launched. With so many people watching, he had to stay strong or the reputation of Jubao Pavilion's gold would be ruined. He waved his hand, and quickly a guard behind him walked over with an iron cage. Inside were four grass weasels.

Ye Bufan held the jade box and said, "Zhang Guanxi, this pill I've never touched from beginning to end. You find someone to try it, so we can save time discussing whether I tampered with it later."

Only then did they notice that he had never touched the pill. Could it be that this young man was truly confident, or was this really a poison

Zhang Laifu let out a cold snort. He took the pill himself.

He twirled two fingers, rubbing off a tiny bit of medicine powder, and fed it to the grass weasel.

The size of a Caotou beast is very small, and it doesn't have the powerful strength of a cultivator. It only takes a tiny amount to try the elixir.

This way, both the testing effect can be achieved and the original pill won't be too damaged.

Generally speaking, large trading guilds like the Ju Bao Ge would test every incoming pill with a Cao Li beast. This was standard procedure, and it had been done this way even during Luo Yudie's time.

But when it came to Du Bin and Zhang Laifu, he found the program too complicated and expensive. So, he simply omitted it.

At this moment, everyone around held their breath, staring intently at the grass-weasel beast, waiting for the result of the medicine.

One breath, two breaths, almost ten breaths passed, and the grass weasel was still quietly lying there.

"What's going on It seems like nothing is happening. I think that boy is just talking nonsense. A young man in his twenties, what does he know about Taoism..."

"Well, he described it so vividly, I almost thought he was a real alchemist..."

"That's nonsense, Ju Bao Ge could never sell poisonous pills, it's simply impossible…"

Seeing the results before their eyes, many people have once again sided with the Ju Bao Ge.

Zhang Laifu let out a long sigh of relief, the tension in his heart finally easing. With a sneer on his face, he said, "Boy, where's the poison you were talking about I don't see it."

"Don't worry, it's not time yet."

Ye Bufan was still as calm as ever, showing not a hint of panic.

"You just fed it a little bit, so it took a tiny bit longer."

After he finished speaking, he extended three fingers and began to count, "Three...two...one..."

As soon as he uttered the last word, the previously calm and peaceful grass-tailless beast suddenly began to convulse violently, appearing to be in excruciating pain.

...then he fell to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices.

"Holy crap..."

Everyone gasped, this pill was truly poisonous.

Before, many people doubted Ye Bufan's words were just nonsense, but the facts are right in front of us, and everyone has shut their mouths.

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in discussion once again.

"Damn it, this is too much, it's so toxic, isn't this going to kill people..."

"That day was terrifying. Even though I'm a Nascent Soul, Grand Perfection cultivator, I originally wanted to buy a Transcending Tribulation Pill to enter the Nascent Soul stage. Thankfully, I didn't buy it. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know how I died…"

"The Ju Bao Ge actually sells counterfeit medicine, what about their thousand-year reputation What about their credibility Isn't this a scam"

Zhang Laifu's face turned ashen. He never expected his own pills to actually be lethal, and the other party was right on the mark.

Right now, he regrets it deeply. He wishes he hadn't been so short-sighted and skipped the testing phase for the elixir.

But now it's too late to regret, the most important thing is how to solve the current trouble

Ye Bufan looked at him with a playful smile and said, "Well, Zhang Manager, what else do you have to say now Why don't you take this pill and test it yourself"

"No need"

The corpse of the grass weasel was just lying there, Zhang Laifu hadn't lived long enough, how could he possibly eat this kind of pill

He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying: "I admit, there's something wrong with this pill from our Treasure Pavilion."

There's no way out. Under everyone's watchful eyes, it would be impossible to deny it.

Ye Bufan smiled faintly at him: "Since that's the case, then let's talk about compensation. I just spent 30 million gold coins, and according to a one-to-a-hundred ratio for fake goods, it would be three billion."

Zhang Laifu's expression was grim, as if water were about to drip from it. He had originally thought he had earned five hundred million gold coins, but in the blink of an eye, he had lost so much.

But there was no other way, so he had to throw out another storage ring, throwing out thirty billion gold coins at once, which made his heart ache.

The onlookers were in an uproar. In just a short while, this young man had taken away over forty billion gold coins from the JuBao Pavilion. The speed and amount were simply astonishing.

Ye Bufan smiled and took the ring. He glanced at the number of gold coins, confirming there were no issues, then gave a thumbs-up.

"Manager Zhang, Ju Bao Ge truly lives up to its reputation as a thousand-year-old gold sign. The "fake one gets back ten times your money" claim is not an exaggeration. When I have free time, I'll send you a banner of appreciation."

Zhang Laifu almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Could there be such a humiliating thing It's simply too much!

But the person's excuse was so well-reasoned that it left him speechless with anger.

Just when everyone thought the young man would accept defeat, his gaze fell on a lush green bamboo beside him, "I'll take this one."
