Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

"Of course, true gold isn't afraid of fire; the effectiveness of the elixirs from Longevity Hall speaks for itself. Those who have taken them know. Anyone wishing to slander us is simply engaging in wishful thinking."

Chu Feng sternly rebuked these shameless actions with a face full of righteous indignation, untouchable and holy with Vast Energy.

This earned him thumbs-ups from the crowd.

"We believe in Longevity Hall!"

"The truth of the matter has come to light, and we were almost fooled by these villains!"

"Take these people to see the authorities! They must be severely punished!"

At this moment, Chu Feng had completely turned the tables. The onlookers were now on his side, and the troublemakers had become as unpopular as rats crossing the street, denounced by everyone.

Justice will eventually triumph over evil. These troublemakers were subjected to widespread criticism and disdain.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, the group of troublemakers each quietly slipped away.

Chu Feng paid no attention to the other troublemakers but gave Poison Eye Dragon King a look, intercepting the most vociferous young man.

Additionally, the poisoned man was also detained.

For Chu Feng, removing the ringleader was sufficient.

"Not pretending anymore?" Chu Feng grabbed the poisoned man by the collar and lifted him up.

"Kid, you'd better let me go immediately, or else, you can't handle the person behind me!" the poisoned man threatened Chu Feng fiercely but fearfully.

"Oh? Who is the person behind you? Tell me, and maybe I will really let you go!" Chu Feng said with a cold sneer.

Dealing with such trash was too easy.

It was unbelievable how low this person's intelligence was to admit directly that he was instigated by someone else.

"Big brother, why bother with this kid! He wouldn't dare do anything to us!" the arrogant young man signaled the poisoned man with his eyes, telling him not to reveal the person behind the scenes.

Chu Feng had figured it out; this young man was the ringleader, while the others were merely supporting actors in the play.

"Hehe, think I can't deal with you? Causing trouble in Longevity Hall and thinking you can leave without giving a satisfactory explanation?" Chu Feng sneered devilishly, signifying to Poison Eye Dragon King with his glance.

Poison Eye Dragon King immediately escorted the arrogant young man over.

"Pry open his mouth!" After putting on deerskin gloves, Chu Feng took out a black porcelain bottle from his bosom and poured out an extremely pungent elixir.

Deerskin gloves are used not only for warmth but commonly to handle some highly poisonous items.

Such as venom-coated hidden weapons, or poison pills, and so on.

Though the arrogant young man had some capabilities and bravery, his expression tightened upon seeing Chu Feng's preparations. How fearsome must the poison pill be that it required wearing deerskin gloves?

If this was forcibly poured into me, wouldn't that be terrible?

Even if it doesn't take my life, the suffering would be unbearable.

"Mmm mmm... you dare..." The arrogant young man struggled desperately, clenching his teeth.

Bang!

Chu Feng kicked the arrogant young man.

"Ow~!" The young man, struck by the powerful blow, almost fainted from the pain. His mouth was wide open as he emitted an off-tune scream.

Chu Feng took the opportunity to flick the poison pill into the young man's mouth, forcing him to swallow.

"There's nothing I dare not do!" Chu Feng wasn't intimidated; this person had brought many others to cause trouble at Longevity Hall, intending to destroy its reputation. He would not let him off easily.

After swallowing the poison pill, the arrogant young man immediately stuck his fingers into his mouth, digging at his throat.

Hoping to use this crude method to vomit out the poison pill he just swallowed.

"I advise you not to waste your effort anymore. As soon as this pill enters the mouth, it melts and circulates through the meridians; even if you spit out your bile, it's already too late!" Chu Feng sneered.

"What kind of poison pill did you give me? You are murdering... I am going to report you to the government!"

"Go ahead and report!"

Chu Feng was not afraid at all. As long as no one dies, the government does not care about such matters.

Moreover, Lord Wang Ji who supports him is not just for show.

After all, isn't a Fourth-grade Capital Official supposed to have some influence?

"Ah... it's so itchy, so painful, I'm going to die..." The arrogant youth collapsed on the ground and started convulsing.

The onlookers clapped and cheered, cursively saying that he got what he deserved.

The poisoned man was so frightened that he urinated on himself.

When Chu Feng's icy gaze fell upon his face, he shuddered violently, "Please spare me, have mercy, just this once! I really realize my mistake now!"

"I'm not this person's elder brother at all, but someone he paid money to frame your Longevity Hall! He gave me one thousand silver taels to pretend to be poisoned and then come to your Longevity Hall to buy a Detoxification Pill. After buying it, I didn't take it but instead drank a cup of poisoned wine..."

The poisoned man confessed everything.

The crowd listened and hissed in disapproval, cursing these people for their shamelessness.

"Since it has nothing to do with you, then give me the silver for the Detoxification Pill just now, and you can get lost!" Chu Feng said coldly.

"Here are 500 taels!" The poisoned man took out 500 silver taels right there and then.

"Hmph, 500 taels is probably not enough. It should be doubled. Since it was I, the Pill Master, who personally fed you, the appearance fee for a Pill Master is generally very expensive, you surely understand this principle, right?"

Chu Feng definitely intended to make these troublemakers pay a hefty price.

If this poisoned man can still profit 500 silver taels from this, he likely won't learn his lesson.

"Wuu wuu... I really deserved it! I lost all the one thousand taels I earned and suffered for nothing. And I even need to pay the relatives and friends I hired... I won't ever do such a stupid thing again!"

The poisoned man handed over all the one thousand silver taels he earned to Chu Feng.

He left with tears he couldn't shed.

If he had known this would be the outcome, he would have never come to Longevity Hall to cause trouble.

The arrogant youth was already in so much pain, rolling all over the ground.

Chu Feng watched with a mocking face, well aware of the strength of his own Poison Pill. This arrogant youth can hold on for a while longer; it's not a big problem.

He must let this person suffer enough torment so that the mastermind behind him would be revealed.

He wanted to see which blind fool dared to target Longevity Hall?

...

Across in the teahouse, as Chu Feng made a dramatic turn and forced the troublemakers to confess their crimes. Manager Pang from Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion, in a leisurely tea-sipping moment, suddenly trembled, and the teacup in his hand fell to the floor, shattering to pieces.

The tea ended up splashing all over him as well.

It was terribly embarrassing.

"Dammit! These idiots can't even handle such a small task properly." The smile on Manager Pang's face had long disappeared, leaving his face incredibly dark.

The commotion not only failed to tarnish Longevity Hall's reputation, but actually ended up advertising for it instead.

Just look at those customers vying to buy Elixirs; you can tell how foolish this ploy was.

"Manager Pang, now that things have come to light, and that youngster from Longevity Hall is pressuring for the mastermind behind this, your Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion won't get dragged into this, will it?" one Pharmacy Shopkeeper asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead, feigning concern.

In reality, what these Pharmacy Shopkeepers were really worried about was whether they themselves would get dragged into this mess.
