Fellow Disciples of the Medicine Sect

"Clan Chief Gongsun, you certainly don't mince words."

Chen Changming smiled faintly, gazing at the Nine Yin Nourishing Yang Pill in his hand. He spoke with effortless calm. "To tell you the truth, I'm looking for the formula for the Li Fire Ice Marrow Pill. Clan Chief Gongsun, you must know that throughout the entire Illusion Star Sea, I'm probably the only one who can produce a Nine Yin Nourishing Yang Pill."

"Heh, you're right."

Gongsun Wuji nodded and laughed dismissively. "But how do I know the pill in your hand really is a Nine Yin Nourishing Yang Pill? What if my ancestor takes it and dies from poison?"

Chen Changming's expression darkened.

Gongsun Wuji really didn't know when to quit.

He withdrew the pill and said coldly, "Since we're not getting anywhere, let's drop this."

"Wait."

Gongsun Wuji suddenly rose to his feet and stopped Chen Changming.

"Clan Chief Gongsun, are you trying to rob me?"

Chen Changming's gaze turned icy. He gave a mocking laugh. "If you dare try, I'll make your Gongsun Family regret it for the rest of their lives."

Threatened, Gongsun Wuji looked a little uneasy.

"Fellow Daoist, you've misunderstood."

His face suddenly lit up with a brilliant smile. "I'll take you to my ancestor so he can try the pill."

Chen Changming nodded.

After their exchange of probing just now, he was certain that Gongsun Wuji must have received some authorization from Ancestor Gongsun.

For example, if someone really produced the formula for the Nine Yin Nourishing Yang Pill, they could offer the formula for the Li Fire Ice Marrow Pill in exchange.

After all, Ancestor Gongsun was the pillar of the entire family.

If he continued to deteriorate like this and became little more than a cripple, the family's influence would steadily decline.
