Chapter 528: Only 134 Seconds

“Relax, he won’t survive,” Xia Fei casually said.

Yu Hua was startled. He did not know where Xia Fei’s confidence was coming from, but he could not help but be amazed by his self-assured demeanor.

‘Could Xia Fei also be an Apothecary?’ Yu Hua wondered.

Apothecaries were in the minority at the Law Realm, but everyone knew that there were some things that only Apothecaries could do. For example, if an Adept damaged their seventh brain region while cultivating a Law, while the surrounding brain cells would not all die like in Xia Fei’s case, even a bit of damage would affect the adept’s cultivation progress and level.

After all, injuries to the seventh brain region were not like ordinary injuries and were very difficult to heal.

Those Apothecaries who could treat injuries of the seventh brain region were incredibly popular people in the Law Realm, comparable to the revered energy masters!

At this time, elder Yu Changgeng and Apothecary Yu Youdu walked over.

The Yu family had an Elder Court which consisted of nine elders. The head elder was Patriarch Yu Jiang, and Yu Changgeng was one of the elders possessing a high position in the Family.

Yu Hua and Yu Changgeng greeted each other, with the latter being very polite to the former. It seemed like all the members of the clan were on particularly good terms with this unscrupulous businessman.

“The rules of the contest will be like this: Over there is an Adept called Yu Lian. His seventh brain region is somewhat damaged. You and Youdu will give him medicines according to your prescribed methods. The one who can treat him will be the victor.

“Your quarrel arose from a prescription for a drug which can heal the seventh brain region, so I presume that there’s no problem with using this to determine the victor, yes?” Yu Changgeng asked.

Yu Youdu expressed his agreement. He had discussed these rules with Yu Changgeng already, so he naturally had no objection.

Xia Fei shook his head. “When an Apothecary gives medicine, they first have to guarantee that it has no side effects. If you’re giving a sick person medicine, you have to take it yourself first to show that it’s not poisonous.

“Make two servings. The first one we will drink ourselves to prove that it is not poisonous, and only then will we give it to someone else,” Xia Fei sternly said.

Everyone was shocked. Xia Fei was proposing that the two of them serve as test subjects for their concoctions!

If there was a problem with the medicine, the first to die would be the one who made it!

Yu Youdu laughed heartily. “As long as you stick with putting Small Net Red in your medicine, I guarantee that you won’t live to see tonight’s moon!”

Yu Youdu was incredibly confident in his prescription. Xia Fei’s proposal to test the medicine on themselves was exactly what he wanted.

Xia Fei indifferently retorted, “The moon? I can guarantee that you won’t live three minutes.”

Neither side was backing down, so it was best to let their medicines do the talking!

The two of them were both using lethal medicines in their prescriptions!

This testing of medicines on themselves would be a mortal confrontation!

…

Yu Changgeng announced the rules of the contest, and everyone thought that they were right. It made sense for Apothecaries to test their medicines on themselves, and no one could give a good argument against it.

However, from the tense looks on the faces of Xia Fei and Yu Youdu, the crowd speculated that there might be some hidden danger to this contest!

Xia Fei and Yu Youdu first inspected the patient, Yu Lian, and his damaged seventh brain region. The damage to the adept’s brain region was not serious and came from cultivating
