"Wait. Lu Bufan made a gesture to stop, and asked urgently: "You just said that not long after eating two 'Peiyuan Dan', the qi began to appear cloudy, is that not the case?"

"Well, that's right. Lu Zhan nodded.

Lu Bufan asked anxiously: "Where did the two 'Peiyuan Dan' pills you took at that time come from?"

Lu Zhan said: "It's the last time the head of the high sect bought it from the secret workshop, and he bought one hundred and eighty pills at once. ”

Lu Bufan's face gradually turned cold, and then he cut gold and said, "Don't take these pills for the time being, I will find a reliable person to identify them again as soon as possible." ”

Lu Zhan looked into Lu Bufan's eyes and asked, "Master Hou, do you suspect that this batch of pills is poisonous?" But I have already eaten many pills of this batch of pills before, and I don't seem to have noticed any problems. ”

"No, it's not poison. Lu Bufan said: "If the pill is mixed with poison, with the cultivation of your Qi Condensation Realm master, you would have already sensed it. Moreover, ordinary poisons can't do much harm to cultivation above the middle stage of the Condensation Realm. The old man was worried that there would be a certain amount of fake pills mixed in this batch of second-grade pills. ”

"Fake elixir? Lu Zhan was surprised and said: "A second-level pill costs more than five thousand taels of silver, and what can be bought is either rich or expensive, if it is really adulterated with fake pills, wouldn't their secret workshop smash their own signboard, and they are not afraid that the world's secret workshop alliance will blame it." ”

"Hmph, the world is so chaotic now, as a secret workshop that has close ties with thieves and bandits, how many of them really pay attention to honesty and are not bullied. Lu Bufan frowned and sneered, showing the true colors of a hero in an instant: "In short, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, today Zhan'er, you give all the remaining pills to Elder He, and let him go to other cities, find two reputable secret workshops to identify again, and you must confirm that it is safe before you can continue to eat it." ”

"Yes, I understand. Lu Zhan nodded in agreement.

"If it's okay, you can go back now. It's also good to rest and recuperate. Lu Bufan waved his hand weakly. As he spoke, he lay down on the bed, his energy completely exhausted, and he could no longer support it.

When Lu Zhan left the "Hundred Bamboo Garden", the sky was already bright.

He walked back to the "Storm Garden", handed over all the "Pei Yuan Dan" that had been purchased from the secret workshop and had not yet been eaten, and told him about the thrilling scene that had happened the night before.

After hearing what happened, Elder He didn't say a word, took those problematic pills and quickly left the Lu Mansion, and went to the secret workshop in other cities to find a senior appraiser for identification, this time he went out in person, and did not fake it to others.

In the evening of the third day, Elder He returned to the Lu Mansion, and he took those pills to the "Hundred Bamboo Garden" and reported to Lu Bufan and Lu Zhan: "It has been determined that among the remaining one hundred and seventy-seven 'Peiyuan Pills', seventy-seven are fake. ”

"As expected," Lu Bufan snorted coldly and said, "This batch of pills has been adulterated, and it has been adulterated with more than seventy pills at one time, it is really bold, it is too hateful." ”

"However, even if it is adulterated, at most it has no medicinal effect, how can it make the qi in the body produce such a turbidity phenomenon?" Lu Zhan asked puzzledly: "Generally speaking, the appearance of the fake pill is similar, and at most it is mixed with harmless ingredients, such as flour, syrup, rubber and other things, these things will be digested quickly after eating in the stomach, how can they enter the qi circulation and have an impact?"

"The deputy hall master's question, these fake pills bought from the secret workshop are still fundamentally different from the fake medicines that we usually use to treat diseases. ”

Elder He stroked his hair and explained: "Since it is such a high-value drug, the buyers are either rich or expensive, so its method of testing the authenticity of the pill is much more sophisticated. Therefore, this fake pill will never only be similar in appearance to ordinary fake medicines, but must also make more means in it in order to hide from the world and hide people's ears. ”

Elder He sat in the Jinyan Hall, read the classics, and obviously had a lot of research in this area.

He continued: "In addition, the secret workshop attaches great importance to its own reputation, so even if they make counterfeits, they have to make counterfeit drugs as real in all aspects. Generally speaking, most of the ingredients in a second-grade pill are relatively common auxiliary medicinal materials, and it is not difficult to buy them on the market, and the reason why the second-grade pill is so expensive is actually more expensive than the formula of the main ingredients of the three and five flavors.

In order to make fake elixirs in terms of smell and color, some counterfeiters will use materials with similar efficacy, but the price is much cheaper, to replace those rare materials that are originally expensive. For example, this 'Pei Yuan Dan', among them, 'Snow Oyster Beads' and 'Black Poison Marsh Clams', which are the main raw materials of Danyin, are the most difficult to find, and they are all worth a thousand gold. The subordinates asked the senior appraiser of the familiar secret workshop to identify these 'Pei Yuan Dan' purchased from the Yan family's secret workshop, and found that among the seventy-seven fake pills in question, there was no 'snow oyster bead' and 'black poison swamp vermilion clam' ingredients at all, but instead used 'Arctic Sea pearl' and 'Green Lake black-backed toad', two relatively cheap raw materials.

Among them, this 'Green Lake Black-backed Toad' itself contains a strange poison, of course, if the master of the Condensation Realm eats it in small amounts, it will not cause any trouble for the time being, it will only accumulate more and more in the dantian, forming a certain sequelae. However, if the amount of one dose exceeds the normal amount, it will cause the toxins accumulated in the body to explode, so that the qi will instantly appear cloudy, and if you don't get it right, you will go crazy. ”

Saying that, Elder He looked at Lu Zhan and said with a somewhat strange expression: "Deputy Hall Master, it stands to reason that the normal dosage of 'Pei Yuan Dan' when cultivating in the Qi Condensation Realm is that you can only take one pill at a time, and it will take at least three to five days to digest the medicinal effect, so even if you eat a fake pill mixed with that 'Green Lake Blackback Toad', it will generally not cause much danger." However, if you overdose, it is inevitable that you will have the karmic danger of falling into demons. ”

After hearing this, Lu Zhan secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: "In this way, I am not an ordinary overdose, others take one pill every three or five days, but I have to eat two pills every day." ”

He didn't want to say this, he was afraid that he would frighten Elder He.

So he quickly changed the topic: "How can this Yan family's secret workshop be so shameless?"

Emotionally, he said loudly: "The price of each 'Pei Yuan Dan' is more than 5,000 taels of silver, and they mixed 77 pills at once, if you add a few of the pills I eat, it is more than 80 fake pills, which is equivalent to greedy for more than 400,000 taels of silver in vain, and endangers the lives of my Lu Zhan and Hou Ye! Such evil deeds cannot be spared, and this justice must be returned." ”

"Yes, they've gone too far. Elder He also had an angry face: "Not to mention the fact that he almost killed people, he rushed at them for this kind of deception, and I don't know how many people I have been harmed before." They have to be punished. ”

He put away the fake pills and said to the two: "I'll take the people of Jinyantang and Huyuan Hall to the secret workshop to seek justice, and I must ask them to give an explanation." With that, he turned and walked towards the door.

"Lao He, wait. Lu Bufan relapsed and called out to Elder He, "According to Benhou, let's not make too much noise about this matter first." Maybe the Yan family's secret workshop itself didn't find out that these were fake pills and were blinded. I think this is good, who do you call to buy these pills, just ask that person to take the fake pills to the secret workshop and let them change them to the real pills. As long as it can be exchanged, our Lu Mansion will not pursue it for the time being. ”

"Okay then, Master Hou. Elder He stopped and sighed: "I asked the foolish bastard of the head of the high sect to purchase these pills, and I will go and ask him to exchange all the fake pills back." After saying that, he hesitated for a moment, as if he had something to say, but finally he sighed and pushed the door and walked out.

After Elder He left, Lu Zhan smiled coldly and looked at Lu Bufan: "For this fatal sin committed by the Yan family's secret workshop, Master Hou's attitude seems to be to calm things down and let others bully!"

Although he was full of gratitude to Lu Bufan, he couldn't look down on this righteous and brave marquis's fearful and gloomy death. This Lu Zhan is naturally arrogant and youthful, and if he can't act tooth for tooth when he encounters such a bullying thing, it will definitely make his thoughts incomprehensible and affect his cultivation heart.

Lu Bufan also sighed and said: "It's an eventful time now, I really don't want to make too many enemies, the secret workshop and the Yan Mansion are embarrassed, and they have spent a lot of effort to buy the world's secret workshop alliance to support them, then their strength is much stronger than ours." Over the years, the Yan family has been encroaching on our Lu Mansion's sphere of influence, and now they have accelerated the pace of annexation, and they are worried that there is no reason to find trouble to launch a fatal blow to our Lu Mansion. If you pick a big battle with the secret fang and the Yan Mansion because of these fake pills, you obviously haven't made sufficient preparations, and you will definitely lose more than you gain. ”

Lu Zhan completely disagreed with his conservative and pessimistic statement, "Master Hou, you are much older than me, and you should know better that people's greed is often endless. Sometimes if you take a step back and want to settle things, I am afraid that others will not accept your affection and feel tolerant enough, but will think that you are a bully, and they will take a big step forward and knock us out. For this kind of scum, only being more ruthless and tougher than him is king. What I believe in is that if people do not offend me, I will not offend others, and if people offend me, I will not spare others! In this troubled world, we still have to use our hands to carve out a path of life and death, which is the truth. Master Hou, this is my Lu Zhan's way of life, although it is contrary to what you usually teach, but I will practice it to the end, and I will not let there be a knot buried in my heart that cannot be solved one by one!"

Lu Bufan looked Lu Zhan up and down, and asked solemnly: "Oh, then do you have the confidence to use your hands to open up the secret workshop and the Yan family's life and death path?"

Lu Zhanfeng smiled lightly and said: "As long as they dare to take this step of bullying others, then I will definitely rely on my own hands to make all the forces that provoke us kill themselves!"
