Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 720 - 782 Falling Out

Chapter 720: Chapter 782: Falling Out Chapter 720: Chapter 782: Falling Out Chapter Seven Hundred and Eighty-Two

All eyes were scorching as they sized up Long Xiaoshan.

Long Xiaoshan, a Loose Cultivator.

Whether joining the Canghai Medicine Pavilion or entering the Green Wood Sect.

He could become an influential figure in the Hidden Sects overnight, no longer among the obscure and unknown.

Just then, the always silent Fu Xuelan suddenly spoke up, “Master Long, if you could join our Bodhisattva Gate, not only would we offer you an Elder position, but we would also gift you a Thousand-Year Spiritual Medicine and allow you access to our Bodhisattva Gate’s Pharmacopoeia.”

The crowd was greatly shaken.

Those sects that had originally taken note and wanted to pull Long Xiaoshan to their side exchanged glances and withdrew with wry smiles.

Master Ruan from the Canghai Medicine Pavilion and Master Sun from the Green Wood Sect had particularly unsightly expressions.

...

The Bodhisattva Gate had also taken an interest.

And had started with such a generous offer.

Although the Bodhisattva Gate did not directly promise the position of Supreme Elder like the Green Wood Sect did.

The position of Elder in the Bodhisattva Gate was of higher value than that of Green Wood Sect’s Supreme Elder.

Moreover, they were willing to give out a Thousand-Year Spiritual Medicine and open their Elixir Pharmacopoeia.

With such generous terms, it would be difficult for anyone to refuse.

Besides, with the Bodhisattva Gate speaking up, who else could compete with them?

Just when everyone thought that Long Xiaoshan would definitely accept the Bodhisattva Gate’s generous offer.

Long Xiaoshan shook his head and said indifferently, “Thank you all for your kindness, but I’m used to being lazy and don’t like committing to a sect.

I prefer to be free on my own.”

The crowd was taken aback.

They had not expected Long Xiaoshan to refuse the invitation from the Bodhisattva Gate.

Fu Xuelan frowned slightly.

Long Xiaoshan had actually refused her, didn’t he realize how dangerous it was to admit he was a Loose Cultivator in public, with the appeal of an Alchemy Grandmaster being so great, everyone was clear about it.

Even though Long Xiaoshan was quite powerful.

In comparison to the attractiveness of an Alchemy Grandmaster to a sect, it was hardly worth mentioning.

An Alchemy Grandmaster is a never-ending treasure trove.

As long as he kept refining Elixir Pills.

It would be enough to support a sect’s rapid growth and rise to prominence in the current era.

Given Long Xiaoshan’s achievements at such a young age.

He should not be a dull person.

He should have realized this point, and of those present, only Bodhisattva Gate could truly protect him.

Only a top sect like the Bodhisattva Gate in the Hidden Sects could accommodate him, a deity of great stature.

Long Xiaoshan’s refusal took Fu Xuelan somewhat by surprise.

She, who was always meticulous and strategic, had miscalculated this time.

When Long Xiaoshan refused Fu Xuelan, Qiu Tianduo of Medicine King Valley and Tang Tiancheng next to him exchanged looks, both seeing a breath of relief and a gleam flickering in the other’s eyes.

About ten minutes later.

Tang Xun appeared again.

He stepped into the center of the venue, cleared his throat, and announced loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, after our deliberation, we have now determined the top three rankings of this grand competition.”

The venue fell silent in anticipation.

“`

Everyone was listening to Tang Xun announce the results of the competition.

“The third place is awarded to Master Qiu of Medicine King Valley for his Clear Spirit Detox Elixir.”

“The second place goes to Fairy Fu of Bodhisattva Gate for her Tri-Color Jinyun Elixir.”

“And the first place is awarded to the Seven-Star Detoxification Pill!”

The crowd let out a collective sigh of agreement and revealed expressions of ‘just as expected.’

The emergence of a Spirit Pill was too astonishing.

If it hadn’t taken first place, it would have indeed aroused suspicion from everyone; but now, with the Seven-Star Detoxification Pill securing the top position in the competition, no one showed dissatisfaction or doubt.

“Congratulations, Master Long!”

“Best wishes, Master Long!”

The surrounding alchemists congratulated Long Xiaoshan one after another.

“Family Head Tang, wait, I have something to say!”

At that moment, suddenly a voice called out, followed by a person striding forward—it was none other than Qiu Tianduo from Medicine King Valley.

“Oh, Master Qiu, what do you have to say?” Tang Xun asked with a flash of sharpness in his eyes.

Qiu Tianduo said, “Several months ago, our Medicine King Valley’s Elixir Pavilion was burgled, and we lost several precious pharmacopoeias.

Among these, the most valuable were the Lesser Qi Nurturing Pill and the Seven-Star Detoxification Pill!

Medicine King Valley has been searching for these missing pharmacopoeias all these days.

Unexpectedly, today we found these two elixirs in the hands of Master Long.

Therefore, I am very suspicious that Master Long may be involved with the theft at our Elixir Pavilion.”

The entire venue erupted into an uproar.

Most people looked at Long Xiaoshan with sympathetic eyes.

This Alchemy Grandmaster was still too young.

Unaware of the wickedness in people’s hearts.

He actually admitted in front of so many that he was a loose cultivator.

Many were aware that Long Xiaoshan and Qiu Tianduo had already had a conflict at the trade fair earlier in the morning.

Now, Qiu Tianduo suddenly made his move.

Clearly, he was taking advantage of Long Xiaoshan’s status as a loose cultivator.

“Is that so?” Long Xiaoshan’s expression didn’t change as he spoke, “You mean to suggest that I stole the pharmacopoeias from your Medicine King Valley, and you think I’m so foolish that after stealing from you, I would flaunt it right before your eyes and let you know it was me who took them?”

“Ah, Master Long, I wouldn’t want to believe it either, but facts are facts.

Perhaps you didn’t steal the pharmacopoeias yourself but acquired them from somewhere else.

Nonetheless, we need to thoroughly investigate.

Rest assured, Medicine King Valley will never wrong you; as long as you cooperate with our investigation and help us find the real thief, not only will we release you, we will also present a generous gift as an apology,” Qiu Tianduo said with feigned sincerity.

Hahaha!

Long Xiaoshan laughed heartily and turned to Tang Xun, “Family Head Tang, what about you?

What do you say?”

Tang Xun lowered his eyes and gestured with his hands, “Master Long, our Tang Family certainly trusts in Master Long’s character.

However, this matter is of great importance.

I believe in Master Qiu’s character—he would not speak without evidence.

Please rest assured, since this matter has occurred on Tang Family property, we will not stand idly by, nor will we take Medicine King Valley’s word without question.

Master needs only to stay at the Tang Family Manor for no more than three days.

Within that time, we can clear things up.

Moreover, during these days, Master can go about as usual within the manor.

We will treat you with the utmost respect as an honored guest and ensure that you do not suffer any inconvenience.”

“Oh?

What if I am unwilling to stay?” Long Xiaoshan said indifferently.

“Ah, Master, I hope you won’t make things difficult for Tang,” Tang Xun sighed.

Qiu Tianduo coldly interjected, “Master Long, we have spoken to you with good intentions.

Do not make a grave mistake.

Those pharmacopoeias are heritage treasures of Medicine King Valley, passed down for hundreds of years.

Whoever has stolen them, we will stop at nothing to find the truth.

Anyone who impedes our investigation of Medicine King Valley will be met with deadly force—no exceptions!”

Qiu Tianduo’s face suddenly turned fearsome, his aura of killing filling the air.

In that moment, the entire place went silent.

It was clear to see.

Medicine King Valley had teamed up with the Tang Family to force Long Xiaoshan into a corner.

Many sects furrowed their brows and remained silent.

Bi Hanmo of Tianyi Sect moved his lips slightly—as if it was only Medicine King Valley, it might be okay.

But considering the Tang Family and the Grandmaster behind them, if the two joined forces, Bi Hanmo shook his head and sighed silently, taking a step back.
