Unrivaled Medicine God c1-2204

  If it were supplied unlimitedly, when everybody drank a ton of it, this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew would not be valuable anymore either.

  But if it was just supplying ten flasks a day, everyone could not drink to their heart's content each time. Hence, they would all break their heads every day fighting to snatch those ten flasks of wine.

  In just a few days, these ten flasks of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew would be raised to a sky-high price!

  This wine, ordinary people and factions simply could not drink it. At that time, it would become a symbol of identity and status.

  After waiting for a suitable time, Wu Xuan would then roll out the middle-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. That way, the middle-grade Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew would become a supreme level of immortal brew. Regardless of how the price was set, it would be up to Wu Xuan's call.

  In a corner of the main hall, Fu Yunjing had a depressed look.

  Wu Xuan this old man pestered him daily in the past for the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew. He himself put on a nonchalant appearance too.

  Finally, Wu Xuan paid a very large price before getting six flasks from his place.

  Who knew that in a twinkle, this old man produced Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew himself. Not only was the quality much better than his, but it could also actually be mass-produced!

  His opening move was twenty barrels! What a big play!

  Fu Yunjing himself sampled a mouthful earlier. The taste was indeed much better than his.

  Furthermore, he actually did not know that drinking the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew unexpectedly needed Southern Sandalwood to be the cup!

  Just where on earth did this old fellow learn it?

  How could Fu Yunjing not wish to mass-produce the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew? But, the success rate of his brewing was too low and simply had no way of satisfying the market demand.

  The source of income which landed in his hands was given away with both hands just like this. Fu Yunjing's gloominess would be imagined.

  He picked up the wine cup and slowly walked towards Wu Xuan.

  Chapter 540 - Unyielding

  "Wu Xuan, I wish to ask you. Where did this recipe of yours come from?" Fu Yunjing inquired.

  Wu Xuan saw that it was Fu Yunjing and said, "This recipe . . . it was naturally taught by an expert. Fu Yunjing, what's the meaning of you asking this?"

  "Heh, can it be that you still don't know what the meaning of my words is? Everybody knows that this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew's recipe, only I have it. Isn't you doing this too dishonest?" Fu Yunjing said with an unkind expression.

  Actually, Wu Xuan and Fu Yunjing still had some friendship between them. But it was still not that close. However, it was still because of this friendship that Wu Xuan was able to get Fu Yunjing's wine after begging many times.

  But Wu Xuan's actions now infringed upon Fu Yunjing's interests. Fu Yunjing could not swallow this insult despite reconsidering repeatedly. That was why he came up to question.

  Once the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew could be mass-produced, that was cold, hard cash. Each drop would be extremely valuable.

  Fu Yunjing's expenses for the sake of brewing the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew was rather dear too.

  Seeing his own Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew become worthless, he was seriously stifled in his heart.

  "Fu Yunjing, today is the City Lord Manor's day of great joy. Must you cause trouble? My Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew doesn't have anything to do with you. This point, people who have drunk the wine before should all be aware, right?" Wu Xuan said with a cold grunt.

  "Heh heh, actually, I've been researching on improving the brewing method of the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew all along and finally managed to have some progress. Right at this juncture, your Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew actually appeared. Is there such a coincidental thing? Previously, you were at my place for roughly right around half a year's time or so. But it's just nice the time to brew these Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew!" Fu Yunjing said with a cold smile.

  The meaning of these words was already very obvious. It was that Wu Xuan stole a peep at the results of his development and brewed the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew himself.

  Although Fu Yunjing was lying through his teeth, the reasoning was infallible, making many people look towards Wu Xuan in suspicion.

  Once this sort of thing was confirmed, Wu Xuan would no longer have the face to keep a foothold in Wu Fang City.

  But how could Wu Xuan be so easy to hoodwink? He said with a cold smile, "Not that you can't slander me, but you have got to bring out the evidence, right? Your Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew clearly isn't as good as mine. This point, as long as one knows their liquor, they can probably discern it, right? All talk without substance, aren't you afraid of your teeth falling out by saying this?"

  Fu Yunjing said with a faint smile, "Huhu, I don't have proof. I'm just very curious. Everybody in the city knows that my recipe was obtained from the Endless Forest; just this one copy in the entire Wu Fang City. Then . . . where did you get your recipe from? An expert? Hur hur, such words can only fool little children, right?"

  One had to admit that this Fu Yunjing was born with an eloquent tongue.

  Hearing his words, many people became even more skeptical towards Wu Xuan.

  This sort of thing like stealing formulas was held in extreme contempt, let alone that it was exposed on the spot by the original owner.

  "Yeah. I really didn't think of this. Wu Xuan's recipe wouldn't really have been stolen from Fu Yunjing there, right?"

  "This recipe, Fu Yunjing has always kept it as a treasure. It's impossible for people to know. Unless it's really as Fu Yunjing said, Wu Xuan plagiarized it while he was not paying attention?"

  "Stolen things, just be satisfied with secretly brewing a few flasks to drink. To actually take it out to sell, isn't this disgraceful?"

  Hearing some people's whispering, Wu Xuan's face became livid.

  Fear of incurring gossip!

  He was wholeheartedly focused on bringing the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew out to make money but forgot that Fu Yunjing would make a false counter-charge.

  However, after today's matter, Wu Xuan could also be considered to have a new understanding of Fu Yunjing.

  But Fu Yunjing said it as if it was true. This already aroused most people's suspicions. How should he explain?

  Could it be that he had to compare formulas with him?

  That way, wouldn't the recipe be divulged? How should he explain to Ye Yuan?

  Just as Wu Xuan caught in a difficult dilemma, Ye Yuan and Qi Hai entered the main hall.

  "This formula was given to him by this old man. What complaints do you have?" Qi Hai said in a slightly low voice.

  As a matter of fact, it had already been a while since they entered the main hall. Ye Yuan briefly recounted the event through voice transmission to invite him to come forward to uphold justice.

  Qi Hai did not have much hesitation and directly agreed.

  Ye Yuan occupied a 50% share in this business too. Fu Yunjing causing trouble here was directly spoiling his business. How could Ye Yuan turn a blind eye to it?

  Although Ye Yuan was very wealthy right now, as an alchemist himself, he was deeply aware of the importance of essence crystals this thing.

  In his previous life, if there weren't the Medicine King Hall this colossal titan supporting, no matter how high his talent was, he would have no way of reaching that level too.

  Alchemist was an occupation which burned money.

  Wanting to refine a type of medicinal pill had to refine countless medicinal herbs to waste. The higher the rank of the medicinal herb, the greater the expenditure.

  Even though Ye Yuan's success rate of refining medicinal pills was exceptionally high, with his current consumption speed, no matter how much essence crystals there were, it was also insufficient to use.

  Regardless which major faction it was, it was impossible
to treat medicinal pills like candy to eat like him too.

  Putting aside whether or not one could bear the expenses, how could the average martial artist dare to swallow so many medicinal pills?

  Furthermore, the medicinal pills which Ye Yuan refined, the medicinal effects were all extremely tyrannical. They were on a completely different level from the Endless World's medicinal pills.

  But Ye Yuan did not plan on coming forward himself. Firstly, he did not wish to overly expose himself. Secondly, he was young after all. The words he said might not be enough to convince everyone.

  Qi Hai stepping forward was naturally the most appropriate.

  With his status, who dared to say a word of no?

  Indeed, once Fu Yunjing saw Qi Hai speak, he could not help being alarmed inwardly.

  He never would have thought that the person behind Wu Xuan was actually Qi Hai. This time, he poked the hornet's nest.

  "Ah! Turns out that it's Old Hai's recipe. I was still perplexed. Could this Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew of Wu Xuan be pulled out of thin air? It's just that I wonder where Old Hai obtained this recipe from?" Fu Yunjing still did not give up and asked sarcastically.

  In front of so many people, moreover, it was City Lord Manor's great joyous day, he did not believe that Qi Hai dared to do anything to him.

  Qi Hai said with an icy look, "Does this old man still need to explain to you when doing things? Mm?"

  Fu Yunjing instantly felt a tremendous pressure coming at him head-on, crushing him until he could not catch his breath.

  He gritted his teeth and said obstinately, "Old Hai naturally doesn't need to explain to me. But don't you feel that suppressing people with force is inadequate to convince the masses? Justice lies in the hearts of people! Old Hai can kill me, but it's hard to shut the mouths of everybody!"

  Qi Hai did not expect that this Fu Yunjing still had some backbone. Facing his pressure, he actually did not back down in the slightest.

  He could, of course, kill Fu Yunjing with one palm. But Wu Xuan would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

  Fu Yunjing was precisely eyeing this point; that was why he dared to be so unyielding.

  Today was different than the time with Wu Rong. At that time, Qi Hai was standing on the standpoint of a righteous cause. Others did not dare to say much about killing people.

  Now, Fu Yunjing stirred up the situation. If Qi Hai really killed him, then Wu Xuan would ascertain the label of plagiarism and would also have no way of keeping a foothold in Wu Fang City in the future.

  For a moment, Qi Hai could not help being at the dilemma to advance or retreat.

  Chapter 541 - Instructing Secretly

  Ye Yuan also did not think that Fu Yunjing was so persistent, to actually dare to lock horns with Qi Hai.

  Fu Yunjing had also grabbed Qi Hai's soft spot, making it rather hard for Qi Hai to do things.

  Ye Yuan's divine sense moved and transmitted his voice to Qi Hai.

  Fu Yunjing saw the situation and knew that the two were transmitting voices through divine sense. His heart involuntarily pounded.

  But, on second thought, as long as Wu Xuan did not dare to publicize the formula, his words would have no weakness to exploit. And if Wu Xuan dared to make the recipe known, even though he would lose reputation, Wu Xuan would have no way of monopolizing the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew either. The losses in between this would be huge.

  At this point, even if it harmed others without benefits, he had to push on as well.

  Asking him to swallow this insult, he was unable to do it.

  But not knowing why, the youth beside Qi Hai kept on giving him an unfathomable feel.

  Hearing Ye Yuan's voice transmission, Qi Hai's eyes gradually lit up. Looking at Fu Yunjing, he said in an oppressive manner, "You said that you improved the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew's formula. Then, do you know what you lack in your formula, resulting in the taste to be inferior to the one brewed by Wu Xuan?"

  Fu Yunjing was stupefied. He immediately said with a cold smile, "Hearing Old Hai's meaning, you actually know my recipe? You're . . . confessing everything without duress here!"

  Fu Yunjing's words immediately caused a stir.

  Just as Fu Yunjing said, wasn't Qi Hai confessing everything without being pressed here?

  Fu Yunjing's formula, only he himself knew. How did Qi Hai know what Fu Yunjing's recipe lacked?

  Between Qi Hai and Wu Xuan, there had to be someone who plagiarized Fu Yunjing's formula.

  And between the two of them, everyone would naturally think that it was done by Wu Xuan, and Qi Hai was just stepping forward to defend Wu Xuan on account of Ye Yuan's face.

  Qi Hai was not startled nor in panic as he said coolly, "That's right. Last time, when I went to Wu Xuan's place, he invited me to drink a flask of the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew that he got from you. I discerned that it was not right with one taste. As luck would have it, I had some research regarding this stuff. It's just that I never had the time to make it. So, I gave the formula to Wu Xuan. This formula . . . came from the Divine Realm."

  Fu Yunjing already had a stance like a dead pig not being afraid of boiling water being scaling right now. He might as well act all the way shamelessly.

  Hearing Qi Hai said so, he said with a cold sneer, "I know that Old Hai has all kinds of connections with the Divine Realm. But I'm afraid that you're thinking too simply by wanting to use 'Divine Realm' these two words to shut everybody's mouths, right? Hearing Old Hai's words, you just drank a mouthful and then knew my formula inside-out. Isn't this too laughable?"

  "Huhu, I'll report the formula. You see if it's correct."

  As he said, Qi Hai started to report the materials used to brew the wine one by one. Altogether there were actually a hundred over types.

  And Fu Yunjing's expression became increasingly uglier along with Qi Hai's reporting.

  The recipe that Qi Hai reported was actually the exact same as the one he obtained! Even the quantity used for these ingredients were not the slightest bit off; just like he saw the recipe with his own eyes.

  With this, even Fu Yunjing himself could not help somewhat doubting as well if Qi Hai and Wu Xuan really plagiarized his recipe.

  Of course, those with the same thinking as him was not in the minority. There were even some people already starting to whisper under their breaths.

  "Could Old Hai have really plagiarized Fu Yunjing's recipe? You guys look at Fu Yunjing's expression. What Old Hai said is definitely not far off the mark."

  "Yeah. What is Old Hai playing at here? Even if he really stole Fu Yunjing's formula, he doesn't need to go so far as to say it out so generously, right? Even though he's a senior, doing so would destroy his reputation too!"

  "Isn't Old Hai bullying people with his power here? Doing this is also too overboard!"

  Qi Hai's strength was indeed formidable. But if he used his power to bully people like this, it was impossible for others to be convinced either.

  Other people did not dare to do anything to Qi Hai. But Wu Xuan's reputation would be rotten in the future.

  After Qi Hai reported all of the ingredients, Fu Yunjing's expression was ugly to the extreme.

  Qi Hai saying this was equivalent to making his recipe known to the public. In the future, he would have no way of using the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew to keep a foothold in this Wu Fang City anymore either.

  Even though he was already replaced by Wu Xuan now.

  "Heh heh, really didn't expect that Old Hai's face was actually so thick! Stole my formula and actually even admitted it swaggeringly! Truly shameless to the extreme!"

  Qi Hai said with a smile, "When did I admit that I stole your formula?"

  Fu Yunjing was stunned. Wasn't he too shameless?

  Already at such an extent and still not admitting it?

  "Hearing what you said earlier, you're admitting that the formula I said was correct? No need to deny. Other people are not fools
either. They could tell long ago," Qi Hai still said coolly.

  Fu Yunjing's expression became black, and he suddenly had a foreboding premonition.

  Indeed, Qi Hai continued, "You said that you improved the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew recipe. I wonder how did you improve it?"

  Fu Yunjing's heart plummeted. Turns out that it was waiting here!

  "Heh, why do I have to tell you?" Fu Yunjing said, appearing tough outwardly, but timid inside.

  Qi Hai said, "I can tell you that in your recipe, five kinds of ingredients are missing. As long as you can say out the names of these five kinds of ingredients, Wu Xuan would naturally have plagiarized your formula. But if you can't say it, then scram right now for this old man! Otherwise . . . don't blame this old man for being impolite!"

  Fu Yunjing's expression changed repeatedly. When did he really improve the formula?

  This Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew, even in the Divine Realm, it was a top-grade immortal brew that not everyone could drink. If Fu Yunjing really had this capability, he would have long ascended to the Divine Realm. Why was there a need to fool around in this Wu Fang City still?

  But if he did not say a thing, wouldn't it be admitting that he was finding fault for no reason?

  Heh, I'll just casually report five kinds of ingredients. Could it be that you really dare to make the recipe known to all?

  Fu Yunjing snickered coldly inwardly and casually reported five kinds of materials. They were all ingredients frequently used in brewing alcohol. Listening to it seemed well-grounded and reasonable.

  Qi Hai gave a cold laugh and said, "Utter nonsense! Don't know what you're talking about! Truly shameless enough!"

  Fu Yunjing said delightedly, "Since Old Hai say that I'm uttering nonsense, then you say out those five kinds of materials!"

  "Don't need five kinds. One is enough! In my recipe has Seven Star Grass. Seven Star Grass will become lilac color when coming into contact with Sulfur Flame Powder. Come, men! Go and retrieve some Sulfur Flame Powder over. One try, and it will be clear!" Qi Hai said coolly.

  Fu Yunjing was still cheerily confident earlier. But at this time, his face was deathly pale.
