The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 422 Who is willing to test the elixir on themselves?
Huo Jinchuan lowered his eyes and examined the pills carefully.

"Judging from its appearance alone, it certainly doesn't look like a Breakthrough Pill, but I'd like to hear what that fellow Daoist has to say."

After saying that, his cool gaze fell on Song Wanning, without any doubt or malice.

All eyes turned to Song Wanning at the same time.

"Hmph, let's see how she tries to argue. Young Master Huo has already said it doesn't seem like it!"

The disciples of the Medicine King Sect were filled with schadenfreude; they had to get rid of Song Wanning.

Elder Wu will definitely reward them later!

Song Wanning didn't even glance at him, only raising her eyes to meet Huo Jinchuan's gaze.

At the time, she was concentrating on refining pills. She thought that by cutting off Xiao Heyun's thoughts, she would not be disturbed. Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly appeared, almost causing her to ruin the pill.

If she wasn't mistaken, the voice was the same as that of this young master Huo.

Therefore, he is also an intruder.

However, this person seemed to have very little mental activity, which is why she hadn't noticed it before, and that's when she was affected.

She reflected that she needed to work on her mental strength, because sometimes even a moment's distraction could lead to unpredictable consequences.

As Song Wanning watched, she suddenly smiled.

Smiling like a flower.

"These four are all Breakthrough Pills, and all of them are top-grade Breakthrough Pills."

Her voice was firm and clear, reaching everyone's ears.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

"Is she crazy or did I hear wrong? What did she say again?"

"She said they were all top-grade breakthrough pills..."

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! It's one thing to call it a Breakthrough Pill, but to call it a Top-Grade Breakthrough Pill? How can she be so arrogant?"

"That's right, we've seen top-grade pills before, how could they be like this?"

"I think she's been traumatized and has lost her mind!"

The onlookers were buzzing with discussion, most of them mocking Song Wanning's wild ideas.

Wu Qingfeng burst out laughing.

He glanced at the Fourth Elder and said, "I never expected your sect to send such an outstanding disciple. We have truly broadened our horizons today!"

The other sect elders from the Eastern Region also laughed in unison, feeling that the Southern Region had utterly humiliated this time.

The Fourth Elder's expression remained unchanged as he touched the stray hairs by his ear.

"Knowing that Wan Ning is excellent, we should quickly make them admit defeat, so as not to be embarrassed in the end, which would not look good for anyone."

She couldn't tell whether it was a top-grade breakthrough pill or not, but she knew Song Wanning.

If Song Wanning says yes, then it must be.

Wu Qingfeng, that big idiot, just wait to be slapped in the face!

The Fourth Elder's reaction was so unexpected that Wu Qingfeng's expression froze for a moment.

Could Song Wanning's pill really be a top-grade breakthrough pill?

Otherwise, the Fourth Elder wouldn't have reacted this way!
Wu Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he inexplicably had a bad feeling.

On the stone platform, the Demon Clan's young master and Xiao Heyun were both watching Song Wanning.

Unlike Xiao Heyun's denial, the young master of the Demon Clan narrowed his eyes and carefully examined Song Wanning.

This woman might be his biggest rival in winning the championship!
On the high platform, the city lord, upon hearing these words, sat up straight in surprise and personally picked up the pill to examine it.

He brought it close to his nose and smelled it again.

To be honest, if she hadn't watched Song Wanning refine it, she wouldn't have been able to connect this pill with a breakthrough pill...

Whether it's the taste or the texture, they're all different!
But Song Wanning's confident demeanor piqued her interest.

Whether it's genuine confidence or arrogance, a test will reveal the truth.

So she held up the pills and asked, "Is there anyone willing to test this medicine on themselves?"

"free."

Normally, to buy a Breakthrough Pill, one would have to "fight" at the auction house, ultimately acquiring one for an astronomical sum. Now that the opportunity was before them, the crowd fell silent for a moment before erupting into discussion again.

"What if this pill is poisonous? After all, even the city lord and the others can't figure it out!"

"We just saw her make a mistake. This pill is definitely not a breakthrough pill. Anyone who eats it is a fool!"

"..."

Everyone was worried that the elixir was poisonous.

It's fine if it doesn't work, but if it costs you your life, then it's not worth it.

So after half a minute, the crowd still didn't move.

The disciples of the Medicine King Sect couldn't help but sneer, "See? Nobody dares to eat the pills you refine!"

"Pfft-hahaha-"

The two laughed so loudly that the slap in the crowd was quite loud; Song Wanning's face must have been swollen.
However, as soon as the laughter subsided, someone stepped forward, trembling.

The man had white hair, a face full of wrinkles, and his outstretched hand was covered in veins; he appeared to be very thin.

The old man was clearly nearing the end of his lifespan, but his cultivation level remained stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, unable to advance further.

I came here to try my luck, hoping to find a breakthrough pill.

However, he had already spent almost all of his spirit stones in his pursuit of advancement, and with so many people competing against him, he had no chance of winning whatsoever.

Now all he needs to do is take a gamble...

If he wins the bet, he will have a lifespan of a thousand years.

If you lose the bet, you'll just die anyway...

"I do!!!"

He took a deep breath and jumped onto the platform, his excitement causing the skin on the ground to tremble.

Everyone immediately understood what was going on, stopped their discussion, and their expressions became extremely complicated.

How many geniuses are there in the cultivation world?
Most of them are ordinary people struggling to survive, desperately clinging to a sliver of hope.

The old man wouldn't have agreed unless he was desperate.

Everyone sighed with emotion, and even Wu Qingfeng and the disciples of the Medicine King Sect remained silent, a rare occurrence.

"Oh? Are you sure you want to try?"

The city lord asked another question.

If the elixir were truly poisonous, with so many alchemists present, they would surely save him.

"I'm sure!!!"

The old man's eyes were resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, the city lord stopped asking questions and handed the pill to him.

The old man carefully held the pills, tears welling in his eyes, his hands trembling even more violently.

He found a place to sit on the platform and glanced at Song Wanning again.

"I believe you!"

He shouted, then stuffed the pill into his mouth and immediately sat down to absorb its medicinal power.

He, who had been prepared to die, soon noticed something was wrong.

The surging medicinal power, along with rich spiritual energy, began to flow wildly into his dantian, and his parched meridians, like fields nourished by rain, began to revive.

Very good!
Very good!
He saw hope and immediately began cultivating.

……

"I see that the old man's breathing is steady, he doesn't seem to be poisoned."

"Indeed, if it were poisoning, it would definitely be taking effect by now."

"However, this does not mean that Song Wan has refined a top-grade breakthrough pill; it only means that her pills are not poisonous and will not kill people."

"Exactly. Do you see even the slightest sign that he's about to break through?"

"I'm afraid this old man's hopes will be dashed!"
