Yu Qianqian took out the Stoneherb out of the box and grasped it within her hands. Indeed, she could not feel any Mystical Qi at all.

What was originally a blood-red Mystical Medicine had turned white and there was no difference between it and a normal Stoneherb.

The sixth Attendant whispered, “This was definitely a Grade Four Bloodstone Mystical Herb when I gave it to Madam Yinchi. I escorted her out of Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall the entire way and didn’t notice her opening the box to swap the Mystical Herb. The youngster beside Madam Yinchi opened the box when they stepped outside Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall. The bouquet of Bloodstone Mystical Herb changed when he picked it up and it was also then that he realized that the Bloodstone Mystical Herb was a fake.”

Yu Qianqian frowned as she glanced at the youngster named Xiao Li. “If I’m not wrong, this has got something to do with that youngster’s abnormal Combat Atrium. He must have used that abnormal Combat Atrium of his to absorb the Bloodstone Mystical Herb’s medicinal Qi, turning the Grade Four Mystical Herb into a normal Stoneherb.”

The sixth Attendant said, “What should we do? Even if we know that it’s Madam Yinchi pulling our legs, we can’t do anything to her. Once the news of Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall spreads out, it’ll definitely impact our reputation.”

Yu Qianqian let out a long sigh and shook her head softly. It was simply a dead end. The enemies had dug a hole for them to jump and they jumped it in without giving any thoughts. It would be hard for them to get out of this mess.

Ning Xiaochuan said, “Princess Qianqian, would you mind showing me the bouquet of Medicinal Herb?”

Since Madam Yinchi had already exposed Yu Qianqian’s identity, Ning Xiaochuan would obviously stop calling her Attendant.

Yu Qianqian placed the Stoneherb back into the box and handed it over to Ning Xiaochuan. She smiled wryly. “Have a look at it! Now that there’s no turning back, Jingpeng Heart-nourishing Hall is going to take a huge blow from this!”

Ning Xiaochuan took the box. He then pressed the bouquet of Stoneherb with his finger and used his Mind to feel the Stoneherb.

The Stoneherb had indeed had its medicinal Qi robbed away by someone and was turned into a normal Stoneherb.

However, Ning Xiaochuan’s sense was so sharp that he could tell that not all of the medicinal Qi had been taken away. In fact, there was still a minute amount left in it.

He could tell from this that the youngster, Xiao Li’s cultivation was not that high. He would have absorbed everything in the Bloodstone Mystical Herb if he were skilled enough.

Since there was still a hint of medicinal Qi within this bouquet of Stoneherb, the situation could be easily settled.

Ning Xiaochuan had been cultivating with the Blood-toad Wood recently. Although the majority of the Blood-toad Wood’s Qi had been absorbed by the Devil Sword, there was still quite a lot of Blood-toad Wood’s Qi remaining in his bloodstream.

The medicinal Qi between Blood-toad Wood and Bloodstone Mystical Herb was quite similar. Ning Xiaochuan could secretly pump the Blood-toad Wood’s Qi into the bouquet of Stoneherb and turn it into a Grade Four Bloodstone Mystical Herb once more.

Although it sounded rather easy, it was much more difficult to achieve than discreetly taking away the medicinal Qi in the Mystical Herb. Hence, only Ning Xiaochuan, who possessed the Seven-orifices Devil Heart, could do such a thing.

Ning Xiaochuan placed his hand into the box. faint blood-red halo covered his finger as he injected the Blood-toad Wood’s medicinal Qi into the Mystical Herb.

Madam Yinchi smiled happily below the staircase. “Quanquan, since your Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall is selling fake Mystical Medicine, I wonder how you’re going to repay us. Hehe! Whatever, it’s not like I’m lacking money. However, I will no longer buy any Mystical Medicine from Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall. Let’s go.”

Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall’s Attendants and female servants were trembling in anger when they watched Madam Yinchi’s arrogant look. If their gazes could kill, Madam Yinchi would have died multiple times.

“Wait a minute.” Ning Xiaochuan held the box as he walked towards the center of Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall and stood at the top of the staircase.

Madam Yinchi was one step away from entering her carriage. She stopped and turned around when she heard Ning Xiaochuan’s voice. She smiled and said, “Young man, do you want anything from me?”

Xiao Li stood behind Madam Yinchi as he stared at Ning Xiaochuan in disdain.

Yu Qianqian and the sixth Attendant did not know what Ning Xiaochuan was up to.

Perhaps he was about to expose Madam Yinchi’s ploy? There was no guarantee that people would believe him even if he were to expose them. In fact, it would make Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall look rather petty.

Ning Xiaochuan took out the bouquet of Stoneherb and held it in his hand. “Actually, this is a Grade Four Bloodstone Mystical Herb. However… Madam Yinchi’s Heart-nourishing Technique is not good enough, causing you to misjudge it.”

Madam Yinchi stared at the youngster at the top of the staircase for a long time. She was incredibly furious as she did not know where this kid appeared from. How dare he say that she was not skilled enough and her accusation was not warranted.

She was a Mid-level Heart-nourishing Master and her ranking was so incredibly high up that no Junior Heart-nourishing Master could compare to her.

Madam Yinchi maintained the charming smile on her face. Her eyebrows were thin as her gentle voice came out from her red lips. “Really, I can’t tell that this is a Grade Four Bloodstone Mystical Herb. Why don’t you explain it to us.”

She had seen many people so convincing that they could persuade everyone that a white horse was not a horse.

However, she refused to believe that there were people who could convince everybody that a common Stoneherb was a Grade Four Bloodstone Mystical Herb.

“Everyone, please have a look! This is actually a bouquet of Stone-covered Mystical Herb! A layer of stone has covered it and one could only see the Mystical Herb’s true form once the layer of stone is removed.” Ning Xiaochuan used his Qi to breakdown the layer of stone covering the Stoneherb. A blinding blood-red light gushed out and soon a bouquet of Mystical Herb oozing out a huge amount of Qi could be seen.

It was the Bloodstone Mystical Herb!

The scene was so shocking that the crowd went silent. Everyone was simply dumbfounded.

Especially the few who knew what really was happening. They were so shocked that they could not recover.

Yu Qianqian covered her lips softly with her hand and one could see her surprise through her gaze. She could not help but feel impressed with Ning Xiaochuan as she took this opportunity to defend herself. “The layer of stone was purposely left by the Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall so that the Bloodstone Mystical Herb’s medicinal Qi does not leak out. Any typical person would naturally not be able to tell. However, a Junior Heart-nourishing Master should be able to tell that the Mystical Herb was covered by a layer of stone. Since madam is Empire Heart-nourishing Hall’s Mid-level Heart-nourishing Master, you’ve treated us unjustly because of your wrong judgment by saying that we’re selling fake herbs. In fact, I can’t help but doubt just how good Empire Heart-nourishing Hall’s Heart-nourishing Masters really are? Why couldn’t a Mid-level Heart-nourishing Master tell a Mystical Herb was being covered by a layer of stone?”

Madam Yinchi stared coldly at the handsome youngster beside him, frightening the handsome youngster so much that he instantly knelt down.

Madam Yinchi forced out a smile on her beautiful face as she stared at Ning Xiaochuan. “I didn’t know Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall has such a talented man. I’m truly envious of you. May I know your name?”

Yu Qianqian knew very well what kind of person Madam Yinchi was. She was infamous for being a sociable woman and was incredibly good at handling men, especially youngsters like Ning Xiaochuan. She could easily turn him into a plaything in bed.

Yu Qianqian was scared of Ning Xiaochuan being seduced by Madam Yinchi and immediately said, “Xiaochuan is the best Junior Heart-nourishing Master in Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall at the moment. He’s so talented that he might just become a core member of Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall. Madam, please spare your efforts on him.”

Madam Yinchi’s face was shaped like a swan’s egg as she smiled gently. “The Empire Heart-nourishing Hall’s treatment of our disciples is on par with Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall. Xiaochuan, if you ever think of walking down a different path, feel free to pay me a visit at Marquis Qitian’s Residence. Marquis Qitian’s Residence’s door is always open to you.”

Madam Yinchi’s voice was incredibly sweet and her body was incredibly hot. She did not look like a woman who had married before. In fact, she looked like the most beautiful woman in the world as she quietly got into her luxurious carriage.

Ning Xiaochuan stood by the staircase and screamed, “Madam, your Mystical Medicine!”

Madam Yinchi turned around and smiled. “It’s yours!”

“Tap tap!”

Eighteen snow-white Mystical Beasts pulled the palace-sized carriage. As they left the place, many people made way for them on the main street.

Naturally, Madam Yinchi knew that Ning Xiaochuan had used some underhanded technique to change the common Stoneherb back into Bloodstone Mystical Medicine. However, since she was the first one to pull an underhanded trick on them, she would never expose what Ning Xiaochuan did.

Madam Yinchi wanted to take down Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall, and had not expected that she would be embarrassed by Ning Xiaochuan and Yu Qianqian.

Having been greatly humiliated, she was incredibly angry.

“How dare they?! Madam, why don’t we kill that young man from Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall?” Xiao Li sat beside Madam Yinchi, his Qi was flaring chaotically around his body. Hints of killing intent could be sense from his gaze.

Xiao Li possessed the Abnormal Beast Atrium, which was able to discreetly absorb the medicinal Qi in the Mystical Medicine.

However, he was born to be inferior and could only be a lowly servant in Marquis Qitian’s Residence.

His huge support came after when Madam Yinchi realized that he possessed the Abnormal Beast Atrium. Xiao Li did not let Madam Yinchi down and had climbed from Stage Three Qi to Divine Body Realm in just three years.

As a result, today’s incident was able to take place.

Madam Yinchi was still incredibly angry. She stared at her own snow-white, slender hand before she slapped Xiao Li down to the floor. Xiao Li’s cheek was red swollen. “Trash. I thought your gift would be able to help me oppress Jinpeng Heart-nourishing Hall, yet, today, you’ve caused me such great embarrassment ! Get lost!”

“Madam, madam! I’ll go and kill that youngster who spoiled our plan right this instance. Madam please, please give me another chance!” Xiao Li kowtowed on the ground as he clung onto Madam Yinchi’s leg. He was just like a pet abandoned by his owner, begging his owner to take him in once more.

“I told you to… get lost!” Madam Yinchi said coldly. There was not a hint of emotion in her beautiful eyes.

A Five-colored Qi Halo appeared around Madam Yinchi’s palm before it turned into a huge five-colored palm. Then, she sent Xiao Li flying with it.

Xiao Li was like a dead dog as he was pushed out of Madam Yinchi’s carriage. He was abandoned at the side of the road. His entire body was covered in blood and dust, just like a lowly beggar.

Madam Yinchi’s carriage left the place swiftly and soon disappeared into the horizon of the street.
