518 Competing Pill Concocting Skill
Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms
Chen Xiaobei wanted to guide Huangfu Mumin? Everyone was stunned after Chen Xiaobei made the claim.
The calm and steady Elder Ma finally lost his composure. He glared at Chen Xiaobei and shouted, "Watch your mouth! What an arrogant kid! How dare you humiliate Master Huangfu?"
"I'm not humiliating him! I'm just stating the truth!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
To them, Huangfu Mumin was the best alchemist in China. However, Chen Xiaobei knew that he could easily surpass him. Chen Xiaobei would even have to consider first, if Huangfu ever asks for his guidance.
"Master Huangfu is my teacher! My path of concocting pills would have stopped halfway if it wasn't for his kind guidance! You are not allowed to humiliate Master Huangfu as long as I'm here! I want to compete with you! I'm going to use my skill to slap your face!"
Everyone was shocked after Elder Ma made the announcement. Li Yunlin, Li Xiang, and Elder Yang were neutral. However, the three of them were not happy with Chen Xiaobei's arrogant attitude. They wanted Elder Ma to teach Chen Xiaobei a life lesson.
"Bastard! You have crossed the line! Soon, I will let you know this world is bigger than you thought! You will realize how small and stupid you are!"
Wei Suo and Elder Ma were on the same side. Both of them were glaring at Chen Xiaobei. They made their stand clear by speaking their minds. Meanwhile, Cao Zhenyang, Yap Xianghu, and Yap Liangchen were frowning. They were worried about Chen Xiaobei. None of them expected the whole thing to turn into such a big mess. All three of them were wondering how Chen Xiaobei was going to deal with the mess.
It was not wise to offend someone like Elder Ma. Chen Xiaobei would face many problems on the path of concocting pills in the future even if he knew the art of concocting pills. It was going to be hard for him to be a successful alchemist.
However, Chen Xiaobei was still really calm. He said, "I'm going to accept your challenge! I'm afraid you will be the one that receives a slap in the face later!"
Everyone was shocked.
"Hmph! I have thirty years of experience in concocting pills! It is not possible for me to lose to you! I shall bang my head into the wall if I lose to you! I want you to kowtow ten times facing north if you lose! You are to apologize to him loudly!"
"No problem! What if you lose in this challenge?"
"You can do anything you want to me if I lose in this challenge!"
He thought it was not possible for him to lose to Chen Xiaobei.
"I think all the alchemists are super rich! Transfer one hundred million to my account if you lose to me!"
"No problem! It's just one hundred million! I'm more than willing to transfer one billion to your account if I lose to you!"
It was no wonder all the super-rich businessmen in Hong Kong treated Elder Ma like their god! The way he talked was more domineering than others!
"So, how do you plan to carry out the challenge? It would be illogical if you guys want to concoct pills right her right now! My time is precious! I do not want to waste my time here!" asked Wei Suo in a boastful tone.
"Mr. Chen Xiaobei!"
Finally, the last guest arrived. Wu Tianhe was invited to come here as well. He brought Wu Jiechao with him on the wheelchair. One of Wu Jiechao's leg and arm were crippled by Wu Tianhe. The bones were shattered. It seemed like he was going to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. He started to tremble in fear when he saw Chen Xiaobei, like a mouse that saw a cat. He was fearful of Chen Xiaobei but he hated Chen Xiaobei even more! Chen Xiaobei was the reason that he was crippled by Wu Tianhe. He did not dare to voice out his complaints.
"Come in!"
Chen Xiaobei nodded and Wu Tianhe and took a look at Wu Jiechao. He said, "Mei Jiechao (No moral integrity), you are in luck! The famous Elder Ma from Hong Kong is here! Your crippled arm and leg can be healed!"
"Is… Is this real? Elder Ma! Please heal me! I don't want to be a cripple for the rest of my life! My family will pay you tons of money as long as you can heal me! I beg you…"
"Mr. Chen Xiaobei… Is this what you want?"
As the high-ranked officer of Six Doors Organization, Wu Tianhe heard of the famous Elder Ma from Hong Kong before. He was really pleased. However, he could not read Chen Xiaobei's mind. So, he decided to ask Chen Xiaobei's permission first. It was a simple question. Most of the guests did not pay attention to it.
Li Xiang was the only one narrowed his gaze. He was really shocked. He thought. "Wu Tianhe is the vice chief officer of Six Doors Organization! Why is he asking for Chen Xiaobei's permission? This is truly unbelievable!"
"I don't carry any other intention. All I want is to let Elder Ma check on Mei Jiechao's injuries. Elder Ma! After you!" said Chen Xiaobei, grinning.
Elder Ma knew Chen Xiaobei's intention. He wanted to use Wu Jiechao as a lab rat to test their skills.
"Hmph! Keep your dog eyes [1] wide open! Let me show you what the art of concocting pills is! I'm going to use the result to slap you in the face! By that time, I dare you to act tough in front of me again!"
After that, he lifted Wu's broken arm and used a special technique to check on Wu's shattered bone. All the alchemists in Jianghu were top-tier Chinese traditional medicinal doctors. They had to diagnose the cause of the sickness or injuries before they gave their patient any medicine. From there, they could concoct the most suitable pill for the patients as well!
After some time, Elder Ma said, "His bone is shattered! He needs around three years to regain his mobility if he goes with the western treatment approach! The aftermath of this injuries can be quite serious too! It is no different from healing!"
"Right! That's what my doctor told me as well! Do you have any way to save me? I don't want to be a crippled man… Please…"
"Hmph! It is your luck that allowed you to meet Elder Ma today! Some years ago, a kid of the most powerful politician suffered from similar injuries. However, Elder Ma managed to heal him within a year. He regained his mobility as though he did not suffer from any past injuries!"
"Oh god! Finally, I met someone who can heal me!"
Wu was really excited. He wanted to jump down from his wheelchair to go and hug Elder Ma's thigh.
"Elder Ma… Mercy… Please save me… Sob… Sob… You are my godparent if you save me! I will never forget the good deed that you do for me!"
"You are quite sincere… I shall sell you three Muscle and Bone Regeneration Pills! Take one every four months! Take care of your diet at the same time! You should completely recover within a year!"
Elder Ma was very proud of his pills. He glared at Chen Xiaobei and took out an exquisite Hetian Jade bottle from his pocket. The guests in the room knew that the bottle alone cost around hundreds of thousands! Needless to say, the pills inside the bottle were even more expensive!
At the same time, Chen Xiaobei took out a pitch-black pill from his pocket and said condescendingly, "Keep that piece of shit in your pocket! My pill will heal his injuries instantly!"
