ve it of its spiritual energy and vitality.Therefore, he now uses the art of deathly hardship to obliterate its life force, absorbing its spiritual energy with his chaotic Dao body.Besides, this world...Although Ginger Cloud instantly understood the old man's trick, everyone present was bewildered.
No one understands why the Heavenly Stairway Pill, which was said to be invaluable when spoken by the middle-aged man just now, became worthless in the old man's mouth!
They never expected that, with the Qian family's status and identity, they would actually do something like swapping out someone else's elixir.
That middle-aged man's eyes darted, reacting extremely quickly. He hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed to the elder: "Nephew's knowledge of medicine is lacking, and my eyesight is poor, almost mistaking a fake for the real thing. Luckily, Uncle arrived in time, otherwise, it wouldn't just be about losing spirit stones—it would also damage our family's reputation! That would be a huge problem!"
His words were deliberately twisting the thoughts of others, aiming to solidify Ginger Cloud's image as a deceiver.
The old man was clearly pleased with the young man's reaction. He nodded, let out a cold snort, and turned to walk towards the second floor. At last, Jiang Yun finally spoke in a low voice: "Stop!"
The old man impatiently said, "What else do you have to say"
"Haven't you forgotten something Return it to me," Ginger Cloud said coldly.
The old man waved his sleeve and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. With your worthless pills, get out of here!”
Ginger Cloud smiled and said, “I didn't expect you to be so cunning. Not only do you have a keen eye but also skillful hands. You replaced my pills in an instant. This kind of underhanded trickery, surely your Qian family has done this many times before”
Jiang Yun's words, like a huge boulder, smashed into everyone's hearts, causing a tremendous uproar.
Most people had their mouths agape, clearly a little disbelieving of what Jiang Yun said.
But there were also a few who's eyes shone with understanding, realizing that Jiang Yun was speaking the truth.
Even a middle-aged man, who is in charge of hosting on this floor, with eyes that are poorly sighted, wouldn't mistake an ordinary pill for a Heaven-Reaching Pill.
After all, the difference between the two is simply too great.
And earlier, when the old man was looking at the Tongtian Dan, his face changed color, and he even invited Jiang Yun upstairs. But after Jiang Yun refused, the old man immediately changed his expression and directly denounced the medicine as worthless.
All of this is enough to prove that Jiang Yun was right, the other party has secretly replaced the pills!
"Haha!"
Suddenly, a booming laugh erupted from the elder's mouth. He turned to look at Jiang Yun and said, "Youngster, you're quite bold, aren't you To dare speak nonsense here. With our Qian family's reputation and status, would we stoop to coveting a single pill from you"
"Don't say that this pill of yours is worthless. Even if you could really bring out a heavenly grade pill, it wouldn't catch my eye!"
Jiang Yun didn't speak, just smiled faintly and watched the elder's performance.
You can eat whatever you want, but don't speak carelessly!
The old man's face darkened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes as he said, "You say I switched your pills Do you have any proof"
"If you can produce evidence, this old man will admit defeat. But if you can't, don't blame the Qian family for not knowing how to be hospitable!"
The elder's attitude was extremely domineering, and his words carried a faint hint of killing intent.
Because this is the Qian family's home.
Even if the old man really did swap out the pills, Jiang Yun would be unable to produce any evidence. Even if Jiang Yun searched the old man's body, the other party would definitely have countless ways to hide the pills.
This left Ginger Cloud in a thoroughly disadvantageous position. Even those who knew he was telling the truth could only shake their heads in secret.
A dragon doesn't bully snakes in its own territory. Jiang Yun had no way to fight back, so he could only swallow his anger and leave quickly.
Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Yun chuckled and shook his head. "Fortunately, I really have evidence."
Suddenly, everyone's curiosity was piqued. Their eyes widened as they eagerly awaited to see what kind of evidence Jiang Yun would present in this situation.
Jiang Yun looked at the elder and said, "You said that Gu just now's pill was worthless, right"
The old man said with pride, "Indeed!"
"Well, I don't know. Perhaps these pills are worthless as well!"
As soon as his voice fell, Jiang Yun suddenly raised his hand, and in an instant, twenty pills of Tongtian Dan appeared in the air!
Moreover, to make these pills appear more effective, Ginger Cloud specially added a golden glow to each pill, making these twenty pills look like stars, radiating dazzling gold light and stimulating everyone's eyes.
A single Heavenly Ascension Pill might be difficult for outsiders to discern its quality, but twenty pills radiating with golden light simply floating before everyone's eyes. This scene, even an ordinary person could tell the extraordinary nature of these pills.
Needless to say, there were many knowledgeable individuals among those present who understood the art of identifying and distinguishing between elixirs.
Even more astonishing was the presence of alchemists. Upon seeing these wondrous pills, everyone present trembled with awe, their faces etched with expressions of shock and wonder.
As for the Qian family, especially the elder, their faces suddenly turned as pale as death.
Ginger Cloud’s voice once again rang out in everyone's ears: “These twenty, all are Heavenly Ascension Pills. Are there any pharmacists present besides the Qian family Feel free to examine them.”
At once, seven people stepped forward and said, "We are all alchemists. Though our ranks are not high, we can still identify the Heaven-Piercing Pill."
Ginger Yun didn't waste any words. He stretched out a hand and pointed, causing seven pills to fall into the hands of the seven people.
Seven people, each from different tribes across the land of Nanzhan, after receiving the elixir, almost all held their breath and carefully scrutinized it.
Just a moment passed, and the seven people successively completed the appraisal. Lifting their heads, each person's face was filled with disbelief, trembling lips uttered: "Heavenly Rank, Perfect Grade!"
Heavenly ladder perfected!
These four characters, like four thunderclaps, exploded in everyone's heart!
Heavenly Rank perfection, it's a level of existence that only exists in legends, one in ten thousand!
If one person said these four words, they might still suspect the other party was a hired stooge sent by Ginger Cloud. However, with seven alchemists from different races all saying the same thing, there was naturally no further doubt!
Gingeryun continued to stare coldly at the elder and said, “The seven Daoist friends’ judgment is not bad. These twenty pills of Heavenly Ascension are all perfect in quality. The one your Qian family swapped out just now was just the lowest in grade!”
"I originally wanted to give the Qian family a big deal, but unfortunately, you Qian family are truly blind. Not only did you make things difficult for me in every way, but for a mere Heavenly Ascension Pill, you even resorted to using underhanded tactics!"
"Everyone, give me your opinion. I have so many pills of immortality, is it necessary to go and get a worthless pill for a thousand low-grade spirit stones and ask the Qian family to appraise it"
At this point, everyone knew in their hearts that Jiang Yun was telling the truth!
The medicinal pill he had taken out earlier was identified by Qian's middle-aged man as a Tongtian Pill, but his eyesight was limited, mistaking the Heavenly Rank for an Earthly Rank.
That is why the later appearance of the elder came about, and he recognized it as the heavenly staircase. Therefore, seeing the red elixir's color, he was determined to possess it and did not hesitate to switch the elixirs, claiming it for himself.
But he never expected that Ginger Cloud's body actually had twenty more perfect Heavenly Rank Ascension Pills!
In the face of these twenty Celestial Ascension Pills and before the results given by the seven alchemists, the old man's face, which had previously been pale, had turned crimson, and his body was trembling slightly.
Because he knew, he was completely finished!
