"This bottle... How many people want it! They flock to it! They want to put the best third-grade elixir in it, hoping to change it..."
"But you... used it to pack an antidote that's not even a first-grade pill!?"
Even though Xu Qingya was used to seeing such things, this was definitely something she had never seen before. She couldn't help but exclaimed, "The value of this bottle is hundreds of times higher than that antidote! How could you..."
Chu Tianxiao said slowly: "I am a prodigal son, Your Excellency the Saint."
As he spoke, he turned to Qin Yun, with a playful smile on his face: "As for you... you said before that you were poor, so... you can't afford such a high-end treasure?"
Qin Yun's forehead was covered with sweat. Just as he was about to explain, Chu Tianxiao said leisurely, "Don't worry... This is just the beginning. Wait until I finish speaking. If you still have the energy to explain, you can talk later."
"But after this, I will teach you a lesson."
"From now on, you poor bastard, stop trying to guess what the prodigal son is thinking. You and I are not on the same level at all. What can you use to guess? Are you going to be like an ordinary village woman and say that the Empress in the Palace makes thousands and thousands of pancakes?"
Chu Tianxiao sneered: "How dare a poor bastard like you claim my things?"
"joke!"
After Qin Yun said this, his right hand trembled slightly. Before he could reply, Chu Tianxiao continued, "I said... This is just the beginning."
"There are still a few unnecessary ingredients in the elixir, but I can still talk about it."
Chu Tianxiao's voice was long and leisurely, but to Qin Yun it sounded like a ghost knocking on the door.
"The first flavor is the Fire-Melting Seven-Star Grass. This has no effect on the elixir itself, but it can neutralize the toxicity in various ingredients and reduce the pain of the person taking it... To be specific, this is probably equivalent to giving you, the Saint, an extra piece of brown sugar, but it's a little too sweet."
"The amount of the Seven-Star Melting Fire Grass is small to begin with, and it takes effect immediately after entering the pill, dissolving into the body. Therefore, only Your Excellency the Saint knows the warmth and coldness of this."
Xu Qingya's face twitched for a while: "If I remember correctly... the Fire-Releasing Seven-Star Grass is a must-have for refining the third-grade medicine, the Fire-Releasing Pill, right? You use it... as a sugar coating for a detoxification pill that is not even as good as the first-grade one!?"
Chu Tianxiao clasped his fists and said, "Saintess, you don't know, this kind of... uh, detoxification pill is usually used for women. Girls are always afraid of bitterness, and this kind of pill is not bitter, and it is difficult to improve. So I thought about it and used the Seven-Star Melting Fire Grass. Well, this is the least wasteful way I can think of. In fact, according to my original idea, I should use the main ingredient of the fourth-grade pill, the 'Chi Xin Ming Huo Grass', as the sugar coating, but the medicinal properties of that thing are too strong. If the girl who takes it can't bear it, it would be a sin..."
These words left everyone speechless. Xu Qingya took a breath and asked, "You... just think... that girls are afraid of the bitterness of the medicine, so you are so... wasteful?"
Chu Tianxiao nodded and said, "I have always been very nice to girls I like. Everyone in Tianjue City knows this."
Lu Mei'er immediately looked at Chu Tianxiao with tears in her eyes. The meaning in her eyes was self-evident—then you still exploited the fruits of others' labor along the way? Every time when the spoils were divided, bah, when the spoils were divided, others always got the least...
Chu Tianxiao noticed her gaze and waved his hand: "Naughty kids are not included!"
"Woo~" Lu Meir suddenly became dejected.
Chu Tianxiao ignored her and continued, "The second flavor is Fuling Tiansheng Fruit. This flavor is the same as the previous one, a small amount, it is used immediately after taking it, and it is difficult to detect. Its function is to replenish the body..."
Xu Qingya looked at him and asked, "Poria cocos fruit? The Poria cocos tree blooms once every ten years and bears fruit once every hundred years. There are only two Poria cocos fruits each time, never more! Many casual cultivators rely on swallowing it to achieve a breakthrough... You actually..."
"Ah... I didn't think of giving it to someone at your level at that time. When I was preparing the pill, I thought that the girl who was suffering at that time must have been sweating a lot and her body would be weak. If her level was low, she would not be able to bear it and would easily get sick. So I added this tonic to replenish it... After all, it's a tonic, not toxic, and there is no conflict between the two medicines, so I just added it and saw how it goes..."
Gaga look
Xu Qingya could hardly suppress the impulse in her heart. She just wanted to grab Chu Tianxiao and beat him up. She didn't want to be a lady or a saint anymore - for a moment she just wanted to beat to death this prodigal son who didn't know how expensive food and fuel were and squandered money recklessly!
"Oh... there is also a third flavor, Bodhi Yan Heart Water, which is used to help girls have perfect teeth shape and leave a sweet taste in their mouths."
"The fourth flavor, Yanqian root, is..."
One rare treasure after another popped out of Chu Tianxiao's mouth, and everyone who heard it had only one thought - to go crazy!
Is that how those things… those natural treasures are used? Is that how they are used!!!
You prodigal son, do you know what you are doing? !
"Wow... Just now when Brother Tianxiao took out the seventeen antidotes, I thought he was destined to be alone for the rest of his life, but now..." Lu Meir said to Xueyan while wiping away the tears that fell from her eyes because she felt sorry for those rare talents who died in vain, "Now I feel that it would be unfair if Brother Tianxiao doesn't have a few women who are devoted to him in the future!"
"How can he be so gentle in his heart? It's totally outrageous!"
"If this method is used to pursue girls... Woo, I don't dare to think about it. Why is it that it has nothing to do with me, but I suddenly feel so moved... Woo woo..."
Xueyan nodded expressionlessly: "Young Master is very brave."
"Qin Yun" was completely speechless at this moment... As a knowledgeable grandfather, he had encountered many opponents in his life, strong and weak, all kinds of people, but even the Chu family ancestor who almost killed him was not as stressful as Chu Tianxiao at this moment...
He really had never met an opponent like Chu Tianxiao!
Yes, the old man's plan was very clever, with each step linked together, and he spared no expense to create a perfect "pseudo-reality", but all his means and strategies were simply... not worth mentioning in front of the word "prodigal"!
Strength, secrets, tactics, and schemes...are no match for a loser!
He was not completely ignorant of the natural treasures that Chu Tianxiao mentioned, but they were too valuable for him to believe. After all, his soul was weak to the point of freezing, so it was very likely that he made some small mistakes. Secondly, due to his previous "poor man's logic", he could not justify himself! As for the rest, they melted as soon as they entered his mouth, and he was unable to detect them. They all had "direct utility" as evidence. Xu Qingya knew the cold and warmness of the water just by drinking it! The old man could not refute it!
Chu Tianxiao casually threw money at the old man with a mighty force, causing the old man's "victory" and "bright future" that were about to be in his hands... to vanish in the blink of an eye!
“Qin Yun” knew… He was probably finished this time, defeated, and there was no possibility of a comeback…
"The last flavor... Begonia Heart Blossom." Chu Tianxiao paused and tapped his chin to think for a while. "This flavor doesn't seem to be very useful... I just wanted to add it in to make a fortune..."
After hearing this, Xu Qingya was completely overwhelmed. She clenched her fists tightly and snorted, "Mr. Chu, can you say it again? Our Mengling Sect can only produce 15 crabapple heart flowers every month. How can it be regarded as something that can easily ruin the family? What is the logic behind this!"
"But... that's what I thought at the time..." Chu Tianxiao touched the back of his head, looking naive and childish, as if he was an ignorant young boy...
