Chapter 116: Senior Brother, Who Is She!

Xiao Yang didn’t hide his identity in front of Ning Shu.

He didn’t need to.

So before he stepped out, he took off his mask and changed into his everyday clothes.

Li Kuang was still lurking in the city.

But so what?

Even if Li Kuang figured out that Xiao Yang was that mysterious guy with the golden dragon mask, who would believe him?

Li Kuang was just a remnant of the Demon Sect; his words carried no weight.

At this moment, Tang Chen from the Heavenly Medical Sect wanted to humiliate him, so he agreed to bet with him.

However, Tang Chen could never have imagined that Xiao Yang had lived again; he only needed a pill formula to save the whole city.

The outcome of this gamble was already decided.

Xiao Yang was certain to win.

“Bring me paper, ink, and a brush!”

Xiao Yang exclaimed.

The disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect always carried paper, ink, and brushes for treating patients and prescribing medicine.

The other disciples looked at Tang Chen.

Everyone knew Tang Chen had a crush on Ning Shu.

But Ning Shu was cold as ice to everyone, including Tang Chen.

Xiao Yang actually dared to pinch the face of their sect’s saintess, which infuriated all the Heavenly Medical Sect disciples present.

They all wanted their Senior Brother Tang to teach this guy a lesson.

“Give it to him!”

Tang Chen said to one of his junior brothers.

The young disciple reluctantly stepped forward to retrieve the paper, ink, and brush, then handed it to Xiao Yang with a sullen expression.

“Thanks!”

Xiao Yang took the paper, ink, and brush, then swiftly wrote down a pill formula.

“Follow this formula to prepare the medicine, then open the furnace to refine the pills. You’ll be able to make an antidote in about half a day to counter this strange poison,” Xiao Yang said.

“What… we are poisoned?”

The poisoned people separated by the Heavenly Medical Sect disciples were utterly shocked.

“You said this was a plague?”

“How could it be poison?”

A commotion erupted in the square.

“Everyone, don’t panic. The Heavenly Medical Sect will be able to refine an antidote for you in half a day,” Xiao Yang announced loudly to the crowd.

Hearing this, everyone gradually quieted down.

Xiao Yang handed the formula to Ning Shu.

Ning Shu hesitantly took the formula and looked at it.

“This…”

Ning Shu was stunned; she instantly recognized that the formula written by Xiao Yang was for the antidote.

“Can these two herbs be used this way? Why didn’t I think of that?”

After looking at Xiao Yang’s formula, Ning Shu felt like she had just seen the light through the clouds.

“Junior Sister, you can’t trust this guy!”

Tang Chen shot a glance at Xiao Yang, feeling a sense of crisis emerging due to his presence.

“Open the furnace and refine the pills!”

Ning Shu ignored Tang Chen.

With a wave of her right hand, a Dan Furnace immediately flew out of her sleeve, quickly enlarging as it landed on the empty space in the square.

The crowd stepped back.

Ning Shu from the Heavenly Medical Sect was about to refine pills.

All the citizens in the square felt nervous and excited.

It must be said that Ning Shu’s alchemy skills were already at a remarkable level.

She followed the formula provided by Xiao Yang to prepare the medicine, throwing in various spiritual herbs according to the steps one by one into the Dan Furnace.

Everyone anxiously watched as Ning Shu refined the pills.

Tang Chen’s emotions were mixed.

He didn’t want to see Ning Shu successfully refine the antidote.

Because if the antidote made based on Xiao Yang’s formula could really dissolve the strange poison, then his precious Healing Pill would be in jeopardy.

This Healing Pill was incredibly precious; only the direct disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect could obtain one.

This Healing Pill could enhance cultivation, strengthen the physique, repair injuries, and even change physical constitution, increasing the chances of breaking through.

So, this Healing Pill actually had some effects similar to a Breaking Realm Dan.

Tang Chen had prepared this Healing Pill to breakthrough to the Divine Martial Realm himself.

If he handed the Healing Pill over to Xiao Yang, he might just vomit blood!

Actually, refining this antidote didn’t take half a day.

Because the Dan Furnace that Ning Shu used was a treasure of the Heavenly Medical Sect.

She completed the process in just over an hour, and a fragrant scent of the pill wafted from the furnace.

“So fast?”

Xiao Yang was also a bit surprised.

Ning Shu smoothly transitioned through every step from igniting the fire, refining the herbs, to condensing the pills.

“It’s done!”

Ning Shu joyfully exclaimed and directly used her spell to open the furnace and collect the pills.

With the lid open, more than a dozen black pills immediately flew out of the furnace and were collected into a prepared jade bottle.

“Can this pill really dissolve the poison?”

The disciples of the Heavenly Medical Sect were skeptical.

These antidote pills looked really unremarkable.

Ning Shu took out one antidote pill and swallowed it.

“Junior Sister, you…”

“Saintess…”

Everyone was taken aback; they never expected Ning Shu would personally test the pill.

To be clear, although the antidote pill was successfully refined, no one knew its potency.

Testing pills is highly dangerous.

If the balance among the different herbs was disrupted during the refining process, the resulting pills could very well be poisonous!

Even though Ning Shu was a cultivator, taking a poisonous pill could still harm her body.

Everyone watched Ning Shu closely.

At that moment, Ning Shu closed her eyes, focusing on feeling the antidote’s effects spreading through her body, sensing the subtle changes happening within.

“Whoosh!”

Soon, Ning Shu let out a long sigh of relief.

“There are only a dozen of these antidote pills; how could they possibly save the entire city?”

Ning Shu looked at Xiao Yang and said.

“Yeah, just over a dozen antidotes; even if they are effective, they can only save a handful of people.”

Tang Chen commented coldly.

A stir broke out in the square again.

Xiao Yang glanced at Tang Chen, who just loved to stir up trouble!

“Who says a dozen pills can’t save the whole city?”

Xiao Yang declared loudly.

“There are only a dozen pills; I’ll ask you how to save people. Our bet states that if you can save the entire city, you win. If not, I win.

Tang Chen sneered.

“With someone as thick as you, there’s no way you can save the entire city.”

Xiao Yang scoffed.

“What? You think I’m thick-headed?”

Tang Chen fumed.

“Isn’t it? You can’t even figure out such a simple problem; if you aren’t thick-headed, who is?”

Xiao Yang was even more dismissive.

“You…”

Tang Chen was startled and furious.

“Alright, tell us your method!”

Ning Shu said to Xiao Yang.

“How many public wells are there in the city?”

Xiao Yang asked.

“All in all, there are nineteen public wells in the city, but I don’t know how many private wells there are since we haven’t kept track,” Ning Shu replied after thinking.

Although not every household had a well, the larger households definitely did, while the public wells were countable.

“Why do you ask that?”

Ning Shu was curious.

“One well, one antidote pill, then let everyone drink the water,” Xiao Yang said.

“It’s that simple?”

Ning Shu was stunned upon hearing this; she couldn’t believe the method Xiao Yang suggested was that straightforward.

“It’s that simple!”

Xiao Yang nodded.

Saving the people was urgent; Ning Shu immediately instructed people to throw the antidote pills into the public wells.

Then, they announced throughout the city that the well water could cure the poison.

In an instant, countless people rushed towards the public wells.

Soon, the people who drank from the wells found that the poison in their bodies was indeed dispelled, and their pains disappeared.

“Xiao Yang, you saved the entire city!”

Ning Shu, in excitement, hugged Xiao Yang.

“What are you doing?”

At that moment, an angry shout came from the street.

Xiao Yang turned to see a group of people on the street, and a girl stormed over toward him with a furious expression.

It was none other than his junior sister, Jiang Ting.

Ning Shu quickly released Xiao Yang.

“Senior Brother, who is she?”

Jiang Ting glared angrily at Ning Shu.
