As soon as the Qingyuan Pill entered the Young Lady's mouth, it transformed into a refreshing liquid that slid down her throat and into her stomach.
Everyone saw the pitch-black Resentment on the Young Lady's body instantly surge, as if a drop of water had splashed into a pot of boiling oil.
At this moment, three of the commoners who had taken Ning Qi's Elixir had already died, and none had successfully eliminated the Resentment. Ning Qi looked at Ling Mo Xie, whose Elixir reacted immediately after being administered, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He fixed his gaze on the remaining six commoners, not blinking, hoping that one of them would quickly show signs of successfully dispelling the Resentment.
Finally, among those six commoners, someone did not disappoint Ning Qi's expectations; the redness on their body gradually faded, beads of sweat rolled down their forehead, their eyes rolled back, and they fainted. Everything returned to calmness, and they did not explode but were no longer entangled by Resentment.
Ning Qi laughed maniacally: "Haha! Look! Look! I told you my Elixir can eliminate Resentment! I won! I won! Haha! Ling Mo Xie, aren't you going to beg for mercy? I hope you will keep your promise and let me deal with you!"
However, Ning Qi's words received no response; the scene was silent.
Ning Qi turned around in confusion and found that the Young Lady who had previously been held by Old Black was now standing beside him. Although her face was still somewhat pale, she wore a slight smile and shyly nodded at the crowd below before hiding behind Old Black.
The people below were already stunned into silence, which is why they made no sound.
If Ling Mo Xie had simply taken out an Elixir and saved someone infected by Resentment, they wouldn't have been so surprised; at most, they would have praised Ling Mo Xie's alchemy skills. But now, with Ning Qi's Elixir having already killed four people as a comparison, Ling Mo Xie's miraculous Elixir left everyone in awe.
Seeing this scene, Ning Qi was momentarily stunned and clearly dumbfounded. But then he incredulously said, "Impossible! His Elixir was just administered; how could it take effect so quickly? He must be cheating! Cheating!"
"Are you implying that I am being unfair?" Elder Feng, who had seemed to be in a half-dream state, raised his head. A flash of displeasure crossed his eyes as he spoke to Ning Qi.
After all, Elder Feng had previously examined the Young Lady and confirmed that she was indeed infected by Resentment. If Ling Mo Xie was cheating, wouldn't that imply that Elder Feng was also complicit?
Ning Qi, relying on the support of Cang Qian behind him, was not very afraid of Elder Feng. Although he paused for a moment, he still insisted on his opinion: "Hmph! It's obvious that it's impossible. What Elixir could have such quick effects?"
Although he did not directly accuse Ling Mo Xie of cheating, he hinted at that meaning.
Elder Feng merely shot him a cold glance and said to everyone, "I announce that in this match between Ling Mo Xie and Ning Qi, the final winner is..."
But before he could finish, Cang Qian stepped onto the stage and coldly said to Elder Feng, "Wait!"
Elder Feng already had some issues with Cang Qian. Hearing his words, he showed an expression of displeasure and said, "What? Do you want to favor your disciple? Sorry, I'm the judge, and I won't let that happen."
Cang Qian glanced at Ning Qi beside him. When Ning Qi met Cang Qian's gaze, he lowered his head in guilt.
Cang Qian then turned his cold eyes toward Ling Mo Xie, only to see Ling Mo Xie smile at him. With his hand hanging by his side, he made a gesture of raising his middle finger; however, Cang Qian did not understand it.
Nevertheless, Cang Qian could still sense the strong provocation in it. The anger in his eyes seemed ready to burst out, but due to Elder Feng's presence, he said nothing. He simply turned his head and laughed loudly, saying, "Haha! Of course I'm not trying to favor Ning Qi; I just..."
Cang Qian paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and leaned closer to Ling Mo Xie, saying, "I just want to remind someone not to go too far."
As he spoke, he slightly revealed some of his aura and pressed it toward Ling Mo Xie.
Seeing Cang Qian's actions, Elder Feng frowned and prepared to release his own aura to help Ling Mo Xie counteract Cang Qian's pressure. However, upon noticing that Ling Mo Xie showed no reaction to Cang Qian's pressure at all, he retracted it.
Cang Qian was taken aback when he saw Ling Mo Xie's lack of response. He then recalled that last time outside Skywind City, Ling Mo Xie had also shown no reaction to his aura. He had become accustomed to using pressure against those whose realms were much lower than his own and momentarily forgot about this.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed but maintaining his composure, Cang Qian withdrew his aura and said to Ling Mo Xie, "Ahem, just remember that!"
After speaking, he turned to Elder Feng and said, "Elder Feng, you announce it. I, Cang Qin, am not so weak that I can't handle this."
Ling Mo Xie, however, remained unfazed and said to Cang Qin, "What do you mean by 'too much'? That should be something I say to you! By the way, don't forget the wager we agreed on last time!"
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Cang Qin turned around and glared at him fiercely. "You!"
"What about me? Can you people from Azure Emperor Sect just back out and not give the wager? If that's the case, then I’ll accept it; consider me unlucky! After all, your Azure Emperor Sect is quite powerful, isn't it?" Ling Mo Xie shook his head, feigning a sigh.
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, the audience began to murmur among themselves. Although they were considered prominent figures in Tianfeng City, they were insignificant in front of the Azure Emperor Sect. They had all suffered a bit from the Azure Emperor Sect in one way or another, and now hearing Ling Mo Xie's words resonated with them.
Cang Qin pointed at Ling Mo Xie and said fiercely, "Alright! Remember this! It's just the opening token for the Langya Medicine Valley, something only a narrow-minded kid like you would pay attention to."
"Exactly! This narrow-minded kid is indeed paying attention to it; this is your wager, so hand it over!" Ling Mo Xie crossed his arms and nodded at Cang Qin.
A hint of pain flashed across Cang Qin's face as he coldly snorted and said, "Hmph! If I give it to you, then I give it to you! It's like you're afraid I won't!" With that, he reached into his storage ring.
Ling Mo Xie smiled; if you can actually take it out, that would be surprising!
Sure enough, Cang Qin, who had previously looked down on Ling Mo Xie, suddenly froze when he probed into his storage ring. It was gone? How could that be possible!
Storage rings are a common treasure in the Cultivation World and are quite sophisticated and convenient. As long as one mentally probes inside, they can retrieve items without the issue of having too many things and being unable to find them temporarily.
