Even more so, those cultivators who had been lurking around the banquet, at the risk of being discovered, all focused their fervent gazes on Zhou Xuan.
So young, yet he understood elixirs. Could he truly be a disciple of the Immortal Doctor Sect?
Old Man Fang was also somewhat surprised, "Spiritual energy elixirs? Is that possible?"
Zhou Xuan said calmly, "Of course it's possible. I've experimented before, and my spiritual power can recover instantly. Moreover, it's not afraid of spiritual energy being absorbed by the outside world; instead, it can accelerate the recovery of vital energy! This is an incredibly heaven-defying treasure. Just one pill can be equivalent to ten Yuan Gathering Pills! That's why I say this thing is far better than Yuan Gathering Pills!"
Old Master Qin looked at the spiritual energy elixir with some hesitation, but quickly made a decision.
Old Master Qin said menacingly, "Young man Zhou, don't blame me for being impolite. The Baili family you're with is a small family. Don't think that with their backing you can challenge us. They are no match for our Wang, Zhuge, and Sun families. My Qin family is also renowned in Shangjing City. You are still far from being able to contend with me!"
"Is that so?"
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly and shook his head.
Seeing his confident demeanor, Old Master Qin couldn't help but frown, feeling a sense of unease. "You, what do you want to do?"
"What do you think I can do?"
Zhou Xuan countered, pointing a finger at the elixir on the table. "I'll give everyone here a chance. Whoever wants it, the elixir will be theirs. But the prerequisite is to collect it from the Fang family. I have already provided two hundred pills to the Fang family! The quantity is limited, first come, first served!"
Upon hearing this, everyone erupted in clamor!
Old Master Qin's expression turned furious!
This time, even if the Sun, Qin, Lu, and Zhuge families wanted these elixirs to save their lives, they would have to go through the Fang family. And Zhou Xuan had also restored Old Master Fang's honor.
Fang Ruolin and Fang Linfan immediately straightened their backs, and Old Master Fang let out a long sigh, his previous dejection vanishing.
"What!"
Old Master Qin's eyes widened, staring intently at the elixir!
However, after a moment.
He burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha..."
"Ridiculous! This thing of yours is unverified. Do you really think you're some immortal?!"
"Two hundred pills!"
The many guests gasped in unison.
The extent of Old Master Fang's internal injuries was unknown, yet Zhou Xuan not only healed him but also dared to openly defy the Qin family.
Before they could even ask Zhou Xuan about the verification of the elixir.
The Qin family members would not give them another opportunity.
"You, withdraw!" Old Master Qin shouted!
Instantly, countless people subtly formed a surrounding encirclement, closing in on those individuals.
At the entrance of the private room, the members of the Zhuge, Sun, and Lu families also reluctantly retreated, leaving only the Fang family behind.
"Young man Zhou, are you determined to oppose me?"
Zhou Xuan smiled, "Why would Old Master Qin misunderstand a junior like this? If this elixir is truly so miraculous, don't you believe it? You can also let your precious granddaughter come out for me to see, and I guarantee I will cure her."
As long as his medical skills were present, the Qin family would inevitably have to seek him out.
After all, he still had a few words he hadn't spoken to the second young lady of the Qin family.
The illness she suffered from was not that simple.
"Kid, do you think I would believe you? Just you wait, when we meet again, the situation won't be like this!"
Seeing that everyone's attention had also been drawn to Zhou Xuan's pills, and no longer discussing his granddaughter's hidden ailment, Old Master Qin left indignantly.
Zhou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
His legs had been trembling a moment ago.
Fortunately, Zhou Xuan's quick thinking saved the day. Otherwise, Old Master Fang's birthday banquet today would have become an opportunity for the other four major families of Shangjing to declare their allegiance to the Qin family, the dominant power.
Qin Zhantian, that old fox, was indeed formidable.
Zhou Xuan secretly felt a chill of fear.
It seemed he needed to be even more cautious. The Qin family was backed by the Qin Guard, of that there was no doubt.
Zhou Xuan also knew that if he wanted to continue climbing and get revenge, there was only one path: to stand in opposition to the dominant Qin family.
From the appearance of the Fang family's guards, one could tell how powerful the Qin family, the foremost clan in Shangjing, truly was. The Qin Guard was the elite force of Shangjing. The performances of these people tonight also allowed Zhou Xuan to see the current situation clearly.
Zhou Xuan knew that if he truly opposed the Qin family, and they investigated his background, the Qin family would spare no effort to eliminate him.
With this thought, he had Baili Yuntian and the others present the other two birthday gifts he had prepared, offering them respectfully.
With his previous help in resolving the crisis, once these two birthday gifts were presented, Old Master Fang beamed with delight.
He was even cordial towards Baili Yuntian and the others!
"Zhou Xuan, you have no idea, you are truly remarkable. Your skills are simply outstanding. You truly live up to the young man I've taken a liking to. Such talent is indeed wasted in a small place like Cangyun City."
Old Master Fang, seeing Old Master Qin leave, raised his wine glass and said with a smile.
"Uncle Fang, you flatter me. It is my honor to be able to help you."
Zhou Xuan was extremely humble, showing no arrogance.
Soon, the venue returned to its previous lively atmosphere.
However, those present were now somewhat distracted, afraid of drinking too much and being discovered by the Qin family, thus being accused of fawning over the Fang family.
More importantly, they all looked at Zhou Xuan with eager anticipation, constantly approaching him to curry favor.
But after Zhou Xuan handed the small bottle to Old Master Fang, he drank with everyone without refusal.
As for the elixirs, as he had said, whoever wanted them should ask Old Master Fang.
But these people were now as fickle as reeds in the wind. On one hand, they desired the divine medicine that could bring them back from the brink and restore their vigor. On the other hand, they wished to rely on the most powerful aristocratic families.
Therefore, each of them felt a sense of frustration.
So, they all surrounded Zhou Xuan, flattering him and urging him to drink.
Zhou Xuan kept drinking heavily, which finally satisfied these people somewhat.
But before they could relax, Fang Linfan, the eldest young master of the Fang family, suddenly walked onto the stage and said into the microphone.
"Distinguished guests, at my father's birthday banquet just now, our Fang family invited Zhou Xuan to accompany us. Zhou Xuan is quite a figure. At such a young age, he was able to cure my father's persistent ailment, truly a prodigy. Everyone should pay him great respect."
After speaking, he winked at Zhou Xuan, as if conveying some information.
Upon hearing this, the crowd was immediately in an uproar.
So it wasn't fake!
Zhou Xuan was indeed the divine physician who had cured Old Master Fang!
Someone at the scene let out a jeer, then crossed their arms and said coldly, "Must we believe what you say? Earlier, Young Master Zhou said that medicine was so mysterious, yet you were unwilling to offer even one pill for verification. And you expect us to follow your lead? Isn't the price for that a bit too low."
This person's implication was that if Young Master Fang wanted them to follow and interact more with your mansion, abandoning the Qin family to support the Fang family, shouldn't you offer some incentive to entice them?
Old Master Fang's expression changed upon seeing this, and he snorted coldly.
