Hearing Mo Xie's words, Elder Feng nodded. He thought to himself that Mo Xie couldn't possibly be so simple as to make things difficult for himself over this issue; it seemed he had his own ideas.
Ning Qi turned his head, a disdainful smile on his lips, and said, "Oh, what do you mean by that? You've already seen the Yellow River, yet you still refuse to give up?"
Mo Xie smiled and replied, "If I say you're foolish and you still won't admit it! Since I was able to save those who were afflicted with resentment before, I can certainly do it again now. If you say Elder Feng didn't see it and can't testify, then let's compete right here in front of everyone, so you won't have anything else to say afterward. What do you think?"
Upon hearing Mo Xie's words, Ning Qi fell silent for a moment. Did this guy really have such confidence?
However, if he didn't agree now, it would be unreasonable. Moreover... Ning Qi glanced at the ten commoners beside him.
The resentment within those ten commoners began to fluctuate violently. Some of their previously faint resentment started to thicken; the medicine was driving the resentment out of their bodies.
At that moment, the ten commoners were drenched in cold sweat, their teeth clenched tightly, their gazes dazed. The pain in their bodies rendered them unable to speak; they could only slump on the ground, waiting for the effects of the medicine to wear off.
What they didn't know was that Ning Qi's medicine was too potent. While it expelled the resentment, it also damaged their bodies. By the time the resentment was fully expelled, their bodies would likely be severely harmed. It remained uncertain how many would survive.
Ning Qi observed the state of these commoners and smiled. The effects of the medicine had nearly taken full effect; at most there was still half a stick of incense's worth of time left before it would completely finish expelling the resentment.
Hmph! Even if you have a medicine to expel resentment, what does it matter? It’s probably already too late!
Ning Qi looked at Mo Xie, who remained calm and smiling, and coldly snorted in his heart.
Thinking of this, Ning Qi graciously smiled and said, "Since you've said so, I naturally won't refuse. Competing on the same stage must be the fairest way!"
"But..." Ning Qi's tone shifted as he added another "but," continuing, "this medicine for clearing resentment is dangerous. Our Azure Emperor Sect has no obligation to help you find someone; after all, we are still in an adversarial relationship! Wouldn't you agree?"
Ning Qi looked at the people sitting below, smiling gracefully as he asked them a question.
Upon hearing Ning Qi's words, these people found them reasonable and began to agree, yet no one noticed that there was no fairness in this situation. Ning Qi's Elixir had already been administered to someone, while the content of their competition was who could save the person infected with Resentment first!
Ling Mo Xie naturally noticed this point, but he merely smiled and said nothing more. Damn it! With the System, what I can accomplish is beyond your understanding.
Your Elixir needs to fully exert its medicinal effects, while for the System's Qingyuan Pill, being possessed by Resentment is merely a negative state. As long as there is an Elixir to eliminate this negative state, it would only take a moment.
However, it would be somewhat difficult for Ning Qi to find someone to test the Elixir.
Ning Qi had previously mentioned that their Elixir of Grievance Removal was dangerous. If he were to insist that his Elixir posed no danger at all, no one would believe him.
And if it is indeed dangerous, then those present would be reluctant to try it. They were all prominent figures; why would they risk themselves when there were ten commoners on stage testing the Trial Pill for them?
Moreover, if Ling Mo Xie were to look for a commoner affected by Resentment now, it wouldn't be very realistic. By the time the news spread and he found someone, Ning Qi's Elixir would have likely already saved several people afflicted by Resentment.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie frown slightly, Ling Siwen, who was also seated below, was about to call for someone from the Ling Family to search when a voice suddenly rang out from a corner: "How about calling my sister to give it a try?"
Ling Mo Xie turned his gaze toward the direction of the voice, frowning in confusion. Who is this person...?
The individual had already stood up and upon seeing Ling Mo Xie's puzzled expression, said, "I am Old Black! You saved me and Big Bull on the way to Skywind City!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Mo Xie nodded. He had saved quite a few people on his way to Skywind City and hadn’t memorized everyone's faces. However, when Old Black mentioned his name, he did have some impression of him; he seemed to be an Adventurer.
"What are you doing here?" Ling Mo Xie asked with some confusion.
Old Black chuckled and said, "Isn't it true that my sister is also affected by resentment? Last time we went to Tianfeng City, it was to get something good to exchange for some spirit medicine to suppress the resentment within her. This time, I managed to get two tickets for the entrance because the Azure Emperor's people are distributing pills."
Ling Mo Xie nodded, smiled at him, and said, "Do you really trust me this much? You should know that Lord Ning's pills from the Azure Emperor's sect can be dangerous!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Ning Qi, who responded with a cold smile.
Old Black was taken aback, then laughed for a while before saying, "I believe! I certainly believe in Young Master Ling. The pills sold by the Ling Family's Pill Pavilion that Young Master Ling has refined are well-known to everyone."
After saying that, he hurriedly helped up a woman who had already fallen into a coma and said, "This is my sister. Young Master Ling, could you please give her the pill quickly? It's not that I'm anxious; just look at how long Lord Ning's pill has been administered!"
The others finally noticed this and cast some unusual glances at Ning Qi. They appeared magnanimous on the surface, but their thoughts might not be so generous!
Seeing this situation, Ning Qi glared fiercely at Old Black. This guy really knows how to stir trouble; could this be a setup by Ling Mo Xie?
Thinking of this, Ning Qi suspiciously glanced at Ling Mo Xie and said, "Wait! We can't be sure if this young lady is truly affected by resentment! Let's have Elder Feng examine her first! I believe Young Master Ling wouldn't object to this, right? After all, it's for fairness!"
Ling Mo Xie didn't say anything in response, but Old Black pointed at Ning Qi and said, "Why don't you check those people behind you to see if they are really affected by resentment? Is this what you call fairness?"
"Alright, are we afraid of him checking?" Ling Mo Xie smiled and interrupted Old Black's accusations.
Ning Qi initially wanted to retort against Old Black's accusations but was interrupted by Ling Mo Xie and decided to let it go, glaring fiercely at Old Black instead.
