Chapter 122: Pill Debate Ends
Not just Zhang Xuan, even Ouyang Cheng and the others were dumbfounded by their actions.
'The hell, can anyone tell me what is going on?
'Weren't they still behaving apprehensively a moment ago? Why are they vying to go first, as
though seeing a beautiful lady and charging towards her?'
"You all…"
Wen Xue was also completely baffled.
"I get it, this bunch of fellows, they really…" Du Man shook his head with a wry smile on his
face.
"Get what?" Ouyang Cheng looked over.
"Previously, Zhang Xuan was able to point out their flaws through pill forging. It gave a feeling
akin to being stripped naked in public. Under such circumstances, no one would be willing to
pose questions!" Apothecary Du Man said. "But now, not only did he solve Apothecary Lin Mu's
problem, he even pointed out a hidden threat for him. It is clear that this is an opportunity for
them. Given that, who wouldn't get excited?"
"That's true…." Comprehending the situation now, Ouyang Cheng nodded his head.
It is easier to know someone else than to know yourself!
It was difficult to notice one's own flaws. With a single word from Zhang Xuan, they might be
able to correct their flaws and induce a giant improvement in their pill forging skills!
"It's a pity. I was truly foolish then. I shouldn't have admitted defeat so early on. Otherwise, I
could have brought up some doubts I have been harboring inside me for a long time…."
With a pained heart, Apothecary Du Man shook his head.
How did he miss such a good opportunity just like that?
"Just let it go since you've already passed it by. You're at fault for not treasuring the opportunity
anyway. On the other hand, I have been dedicated to my responsibilities, making my best to
ensure this Pill Debate is impartial. As such, I didn't even get a chance to pose a question. Say…
"Alright, one at a time!"
Soon, Zhang Xuan understood what was going. Shaking his head helplessly, he casually pointed
to an apothecary among them. "You!"
"Me? Great!"
Upon being chosen, he hurriedly stood up. "I have a question that I would really like to ask.
Recently, I've had insomnia and wake up seven or eight times every night. I also often get
nightmares. Can you help me check if I have any illness, or if someone is scheming against me,
or… if there is a problem with my concubine?"
Zhang Xuan was speechless.
So were the others.
"Cough cough. Apothecary Liu, we are in a Pill Debate, not a fortune-telling or patient
treatment session. Pay attention to what you are saying…."
Ouyang Cheng couldn't help but intervene.
"Ah? But… that's my question! This is what I want to ask…." Apothecary Liu said with a resolute
expression.
"Alright. How about this: you try forging a pill and I will try to see what I can through that!"
Zhang Xuan felt a splitting headache consuming him as he waved him away.
"Alright!" Apothecary Liu nodded his head in excitement before rushing over to start forging.
"Apothecary Qin, what the heck does your daughter getting married have to do with pill
forging? Why are you asking Brother Zhang for that? What a joke!" The final apothecary flung
his hands and harrumphed.
"But… this is the question I want to ask right now…."
Apothecary Qin was conflicted.
"You should at least ask something related to pill forging! You continue to think on that matter,
I will go first!" The last apothecary stepped forward toward Zhang Xuan before saying, "Brother
"OK!"
Taking the two items from Ouyang Cheng's hands, he casually placed them into his storage
ring.
Everyone had guessed that there was some incredible figure guiding him from behind, so they
weren't really surprised by that storage ring in his possession.
Besides, being an apothecary was a lucrative occupation. The storage ring which could cost
millions might be exorbitant, but it was nothing much to them.
"Guild Leader Ouyang, where is the advanced tier book collection vault? I would like to take a
look…." Zhang Xuan asked.
His main reason for undergoing the apothecary examination was to go to the book collection
vault. Thus, the first thing he decided to do upon becoming an official apothecary was to head
there to take a look.
"I'll take you there!"
After which, Ouyang Cheng first walked out of the room and Zhang Xuan followed closely
behind him. Before he could travel far, the voice of the previous apothecary rang out behind
him.
"Apothecary Zhang Xuan, do consider it for a bit. If my elder and younger sister won't do, I have
an aunt too. She isn't married yet…."
Zhang Xuan staggered and tears streamed down his cheeks.
'Your aunt...
'Is old enough to be my great-grandmother….'
