Mundane Saint

Chapter 72 – This Gu Family Medicine Hall is not to be feared!

Qing Yi's words could be quite offensive. If the other party were truly a reclusive cultivator, just this offense alone could be enough reason to kill Qing Yi!

Not to mention, at the very least, he knows how to use poison, and daring to open a medicine hall means he must have some skills.

His goal was actually to cast doubt, to question the owner's most skilled ability, and then push him to the edge. No matter how refined a person appears on the surface, if someone hits a nerve, they will definitely get angry, and once angry, they can't control their aura and will reveal their true self!

Qing Yi could then clearly judge the person's cultivation level.

But this was also a risky move!

And now, he was just a guy without cultivation, and the life-saving items on him might not even save him. If he truly angered the other party, his life could easily be at risk.

So Qing Yi was now on full alert, ready to counter any move Gu Heng might make!

Unexpectedly, Gu Heng was indeed angry, but... that was it.

Gu Heng's face darkened, and he waved his hand dismissively.

Damn it, this guy is really causing trouble!

He was indeed a bit angry. This man with a sinister look didn't seem sick at all, his aura was stable, so if he wasn't here for treatment, he was probably here to cause trouble.

Looking at his half-cut palm, Gu Heng had a good guess.

This guy must be one of those street thugs south of Cloud Spirit City who specialize in harassing others!

They take money from others and then go cause trouble, questioning others' skills, saying they're not as good as others, and relentlessly undermining others' confidence... In short, they're just here to disgust people.

Gu Heng was quite frustrated; he had just opened the medicine hall for less than a week, and the local competitors south of Cloud Spirit City were already trying to stir up trouble!

Those old doctors really don't give young people a chance.

But Gu Heng wasn't afraid of this.

His medical skills were "extraordinary," absolutely top-notch among mortals!

Calling a street thug to undermine his confidence?

Such a tactic was too lowly and completely useless. Besides, he had already secured a partnership with the Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall. When his medicine sold, even without patients coming in for treatment, he would still make a fortune!

Why should he care about the suppression from those competitors?

"The door is over there, see yourself out."

Gu Heng couldn't be bothered with him anymore. With a flick of his sleeve, he showed a face full of displeasure.

Qing Yi was taken aback, not expecting the other party to not make a move but instead directly tell him to leave?

The owner of the medicine hall was indeed very angry. A cultivator so angry, with such intense emotional fluctuations, couldn't possibly hide his true energy fluctuations. If he couldn't sense any cultivation at all...

He really was just a mortal.

The girl seemed to be the true owner of the medicine hall!

She was the one brewing medicine earlier, and she was the one with cultivation. This Mr. Gu was probably just a servant hired by the girl, without any cultivation, and was put forward to mislead others into thinking the Gu Family Medicine Hall had a different owner!

Yes, that must be it!

Qing Yi felt his thoughts suddenly became clear. He turned his eyes, made a mental note, but still kept a smiling face.

"Haha... Well, Mr. Gu is busy, so I'll take my leave first."

After figuring it out, he knew there was no need to stay any longer and swaggered out through the main door.

The probing was complete.

This Gu Family Medicine Hall was nothing to fear!

Just a second-level Foundation Establishment girl and a mortal who only knew some poison, they were no match for Qingfeng Treasure Hall!

After the person left, Gu Heng couldn't help but curse, "Damn, I've only been here for a short while, and already such fools are coming to bother me."

He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It seemed that running this medicine hall in the future wouldn't be easy.

Should he ask Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall for some guards?

It wasn't impossible. If he got some guards, these street thugs would see the swords and know better than to cause trouble, but...

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"Forget it, not for now."

Gu Heng shook his head. He had just finalized the partnership with Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall, and it was too early to ask for favors. Besides, he still had plenty of poison. If such people dared to show up again...

Thinking of this, he decided to let this incident spoil his mood for a moment and then returned to the back room to continue guiding Qin Yiyao in refining medicine.

And to give the little girl some more intense training.

...

Qingfeng Treasure Hall.

In the hall.

President Shang Xiong was discussing some matters with Vice President Yi Gong, while a man in a black robe sat silently to the side, his hands revealing that he was likely quite young.

Soon, Qing Yi returned, and Shang Xiong gave a look, prompting Yi Gong to tactfully withdraw.

The man in the black robe slightly shifted his position upon seeing Qing Yi but said nothing.

"President, I have successfully investigated the Gu Family Medicine Hall!"

Qing Yi half-knelt on the ground, a slight smile on his lips, appearing confident. Shang Xiong, seeing his demeanor, became even more puzzled and quickly asked, "Tell me, who are the people in that medicine hall, and what's their background?"

"There are two people in that medicine hall, a mortal and a second-level Foundation Establishment girl, no threat at all!"

Qing Yi replied with composure.

Hearing this answer, Shang Xiong showed a look of surprise and doubt.

"Are you sure?"

Shang Xiong's expression was serious as he continued to question. The ones who chased those two girls that day were an Elemental Infant stage cultivator and four Core Formation cultivators. How could a mere mortal and a second-level Foundation Establishment girl possibly deal with almost all of them?

Even if the girl was unusual and could defy the odds to kill Core Formation cultivators, at most she could handle two. An Elemental Infant stage cultivator couldn't possibly be killed by her, right? And Qing Si died at the hands of the medicine hall's owner.

Could it be that the owner of the medicine hall was just a mortal?

A mortal who easily killed five cultivators who could crush him!?

"President, I am absolutely certain! I also thought there might be a strong cultivator in the medicine hall, so I took a Stealth Pill to avoid detection, but it turns out I was overthinking it."

"That medicine hall is nothing to fear!"

Qing Yi was very certain, and although Shang Xiong had his doubts, Qing Yi had worked for him for many years and was absolutely reliable, so he didn't question further.

He already knew that Qing Si and the four subordinates died from poison, but they couldn't determine what kind of poison it was. It seemed to be a tasteless, deadly poison that kills instantly. While it's not easy for a mortal to use poison to kill cultivators, Qing Si must have been careless and fell into the trap.

Thinking of this, Shang Xiong's face turned even darker, and he slammed the chair with a red face!

"Hmph! I didn't expect that a mere mortal and a second-level Foundation Establishment girl could cause such a significant loss to Qingfeng Treasure Hall!"

Qing Si's death was also a great loss to Shang Xiong.

And dying at the hands of a mortal was the ultimate humiliation!
