Chapter 46

In the luxurious hall of the Ten Thousand Treasures Palace, the exhibition stand of the Pill King Garden was already set up, and the seats for the guests from various families were all arranged properly.

Jiang Chen walked into the Ten Thousand Treasures Palace, stepping on the noble carpet, feeling very pleased.

Compared to the high-profile of the Pill King Garden, the Medicine Master Hall was very low-key. Up until now, the exhibition stand had not even started to be set up.

Moreover, including the Pill King Garden, many people did not even know that the Medicine Master Hall also had a pill exhibition.

Now, a rumor was spreading throughout the entire capital, saying that the Pill King Garden had developed a new type of healing pill, which would challenge the status of the Medicine Master Hall.

Today's pill exhibition, to put it bluntly, was aimed at the Medicine Master Hall, to provoke and embarrass it.

"Wait, stop right there. This is a grand pill exhibition. Do you have an invitation?"

Two martial artists, looking fierce, blocked Jiang Chen and his group.

Jiang Zheng, who was beside Jiang Chen, snorted coldly and threw the invitation from the Pill King Garden directly onto the face of the other party.

The other party took the invitation, glanced at it, and said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "This is the lowest level of invitation. There is no seat, only a standing position. Go to that corner over there. Remember, do not make loud noises, and do not collide with other VIPs."

Embarrassing, the Pill King Garden had clearly planned this embarrassing scenario from the beginning. From the day they sent the invitation to Jiang Chen, it was a trap to embarrass him.

However, Jiang Zheng sneered, "You're mistaken. Your so-called pill exhibition, our young lord doesn't even care about, and has no interest in participating. We just happened to pass by and return this broken invitation to you."

The other party was stunned. If they were not here to participate in the pill exhibition, then why were they here?

"If you're not here to participate in the pill exhibition, then you're just idle people. People, drive them out," a steward of the Pill King Garden walked over, looking fierce.

Jiang Zheng sneered, "Is this Ten Thousand Treasures Palace being monopolized by your Pill King Garden today? My young lord is a VIP here today. Are you dogs itching for a fight?"

The four brothers of the Victory Camp stepped forward, and the killing aura they had cultivated in the military burst forth, making the steward's face turn pale and step back.

Jiang Chen said calmly, "A good dog doesn't block the way."

At this moment, a person turned the corner from the internal corridor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Palace. It was none other than the Third Hall Master of the Medicine Master Hall, Qiao Baishi.

Qiao Baishi had a smile on his face and welcomed them with a laugh, "Young Lord Jiang, I've finally waited for you. Please come in, please come in."

"Third Hall Master Qiao, what's going on with your Medicine Master Hall? Didn't you say you were having a pill exhibition today? Why are you being so low-key?" Jiang Chen deliberately complained.

Qiao Baishi laughed, "Our Medicine Master Hall has always been low-key. We'll set up the exhibition stand soon, and it won't take much time."

"That makes sense. The Medicine Master Hall has a solid foundation, so being low-key is normal. Unlike some nouveau riche, who make a big fuss," Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.

"Qiao Baishi, what do you mean by that?" The head of the Pill King Garden, Wang Yuanzhu, walked over, looking furious, "Today is our Pill King Garden's pill exhibition. You are here as guests. Do you want to break the rules and cause trouble?"

Wang Yuanzhu looked righteous.

"Wang Yuanzhu, I think you must have misunderstood something. You're having a pill exhibition, that's fine, but can't our Medicine Master Hall have a pill exhibition too? You sent us invitations, does that mean we have to attend?" Qiao Baishi's tone was indifferent.

"You... You're not here to participate in the pill exhibition?" Wang Yuanzhu's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"We are here to participate in the pill exhibition, but it's our Medicine Master Hall's pill exhibition," Qiao Baishi smiled slightly.

"What do you mean?" Wang Yuanzhu's eyes turned cold, "Qiao Baishi, are you here to cause trouble?"

"Trouble?" Qiao Baishi sneered, "Wang Yuanzhu, you're overestimating yourself. With the status of your Pill King Garden, do you think you're worthy of us, the Medicine Master Hall, to come and cause trouble?"

Wang Yuanzhu was speechless and glared at Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, you even returned the invitation, why are you here?"

"Idiot, of course to participate in the pill exhibition. The Medicine Master Hall and my Jiang family have a close cooperative relationship. If they have a pill exhibition, how can I not show up?" Jiang Chen looked at Wang Yuanzhu as if he were an idiot.

Wang Yuanzhu's face turned ashen. He felt like he had been played. But then he thought about today's plan, wasn't it to embarrass the Medicine Master Hall?

Since the Medicine Master Hall was overestimating itself and wanted to have a pill exhibition, this was a good opportunity to suppress their arrogance.

With this thought, a sinister smile appeared on Wang Yuanzhu's face, "Qiao Baishi, it seems your Medicine Master Hall doesn't want to sit and wait for death. Since you're sending your face to be slapped, let's compare our pills."

Wang Yuanzhu was invigorated. Since the Medicine Master Hall wanted to challenge them in the pill competition, he would use the "Dragon Tiger Blood Transformation Pill" to thoroughly embarrass them.

The efficiency of the Medicine Master Hall was quite high.

Soon, a stand was quickly set up opposite the Pill King Garden's site. In addition to Qiao Baishi, the Medicine Master Hall's leadership included the Second Hall Master Yue Qun and six or seven elders.

Moreover, a large number of stewards from the Medicine Master Hall were already making tense preparations.

The Medicine Master Hall was playing a very bold game. Except for Jiang Chen and Princess Gouyu, no other guests had received invitations in advance.

Instead, they stood aside, and every time a guest from the Pill King Garden handed in an invitation, the Medicine Master Hall would casually hand out an invitation.

This made it clear that the Medicine Master Hall intended to challenge the Pill King Garden on the spot.

This time, almost all the powerful figures in the capital had received invitations from the Pill King Garden. When these guests arrived and received invitations from the Medicine Master Hall, they were all puzzled.

However, most of these people were neutral. Seeing that the Medicine Master Hall was challenging the Pill King Garden on the spot, they were not only not annoyed but found it interesting.

They originally thought they were coming to a pill exhibition, and their interest was not very high. But if they could see a competition between two major medicinal powers, that would be an unexpected bonus!

The senior members of the Pill King Garden gathered to discuss for a while. They all felt that the Medicine Master Hall was not coming with good intentions.

However, Master Zi was very confident. The "Dragon Tiger Blood Transformation Pill" was his masterpiece, a pill formula from a hidden sect. In this secular kingdom, he believed it could dominate.

The Medicine Master Hall? Master Zi shook his head, his eyes filled with disdain.

Seeing Master Zi's confidence, the senior members of the Pill King Garden, who were originally worried, quickly regained their confidence.

It was said that Master Zi came from a hidden sect. Such a high-level person would not be at a loss in a mere capital. The Medicine Master Hall was sending their face to be slapped, and today they were destined to be beaten into a pig's face by the Pill King Garden.

With this consideration, the Pill King Garden did not obstruct or protest the Medicine Master Hall's actions, allowing them to distribute invitations to everyone.

Of course, they could not stop them.

After all, if the Pill King Garden could have a pill exhibition, the Medicine Master Hall also had the right to have one.

However, the guests still had to follow the rules. Since they received invitations from the Pill King Garden first, they should sit at the Pill King Garden's stand first.

Except for a few staunch supporters of the Medicine Master Hall, the neutral guests on the scene all had the attitude of not offending either side and found seats at the Pill King Garden's stand first.

They also knew that the Medicine Master Hall would not mind if they sat at the Pill King Garden's stand first. This was the rule of first come, first served.

Seeing that most of the guests were still sitting at the Pill King Garden's stand, Wang Yuanzhu was quite satisfied and looked provocatively at Qiao Baishi.

The senior members of the Medicine Master Hall, sitting on the chairs behind the stand, felt somewhat uncomfortable. This matter had always been handled by Qiao Baishi.

They were also invited by Qiao Baishi today, but they did not quite understand what he was up to.

Seeing the Pill King Garden's stand bustling with people, while the Medicine Master Hall's stand, except for a few staunch supporters, had very few people, the Second Hall Master Yue Qun's face was somewhat embarrassed.

"Old Three, what are you doing? If you're going to do it, you should have sent out invitations in advance. This way, how can we, the Medicine Master Hall, save face?" Yue Qun said.

"Second Hall Master is right. If I had known this, I shouldn't have come today," a female elder surnamed Lan, who had a conflict with Jiang Chen before, also complained.

"Ha ha, the Third Hall Master must have a brilliant plan," said an elder who supported Qiao Baishi.

"Let's see. Since we're already here, I don't believe the Third Hall Master would let us be embarrassed. Our Third Hall Master is not such a foolish person," said a staunch supporter of Qiao Baishi.

On the Pill King Garden's side, Wang Yuanzhu was in high spirits, walking up to the high stand, his voice loud and full of confidence, "Ladies and gentlemen, this time, the Pill King Garden is introducing a new 'Dragon Tiger Blood Transformation Pill,' a holy healing pill. Its effectiveness is twice, or even more, than similar products on the market!"

What?

A holy healing pill? Twice, or even more, effective than similar products on the market?

The guests who were whispering on the scene fell silent at Wang Yuanzhu's words.

The scene became so quiet that a pin dropping could be heard.

"This 'Dragon Tiger Blood Transformation Pill' can transform blood and remove blood stasis, connect tendons and bones, and is highly effective. Especially for external injuries, it can completely heal various sword and knife wounds within three days, leaving no scars."

Within three days, completely heal sword and knife wounds, leaving no scars!

"For internal injuries, even if one is bedridden, taking this pill can restore one's vitality within ten days, returning to the state before the injury."

Wang Yuanzhu became more and more excited, exaggerating the "Dragon Tiger Blood Transformation Pill" to the extreme, his saliva flying everywhere.

It must be said that if the "Dragon Tiger Blood Transformation Pill" was as miraculous as he said, once it hit the market, it would definitely surpass all similar products on the market.

The Pill King Garden had been so high-profile in the past few days, promoting this pill exhibition, and it was indeed because they had the capital to be high-profile, planning to shock the world with this pill!

Who didn't know that the holy healing pill was currently the hottest type of pill on the market? After all, any martial artist could not avoid getting injured. Once injured, they would inevitably need to use a healing pill.

Whoever dominated the market for the holy healing pill would gain the upper hand. If one could monopolize this market, they would lead the market trend.

Suddenly, most of the guests on the scene understood the reason for the Pill King Garden's high-profile approach. This was a declaration of war against the Medicine Master Hall! A challenge to the Medicine Master Hall's status!
