"Still coming!" The man pounced without thinking, wanting to snatch back the Boundless Purple Crystal. They had already paid a heavy price for this Boundless Purple Crystal and could not allow it to be snatched away at this moment. Moreover, A Si was in mortal danger because of this Boundless Purple Crystal. He had to snatch it back even at the cost of his life.
Xiao Man dodged, and the man lunged into empty space, nearly falling to the ground. He turned around and was about to snatch again.
"Stop." Jiang Lan pulled back the man who was about to charge again, and looked at Xiao Man with hesitation, "Junior Brother Nangong, what are you doing?"
"This Boundless Purple Crystal belongs to me." Xiao Man put away the Boundless Purple Crystal. When everyone saw this, they were about to curse, but unexpectedly Xiao Man threw a bottle of pills to Jiang Lan, "As an exchange."
Jiang Lan opened the stopper and poured out several pills. They were all top-grade Ling Yuan Pills, a full bottle, far exceeding the value of the Boundless Purple Crystal.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Nangong."
Jiang Lan fed A Si a pill and carefully handed the medicine bottle back to Xiao Man: "This is the rest..."
"This bottle of medicine is in exchange for your Boundless Purple Crystal."
Jiang Lan's face showed surprise: "Junior Brother Nangong, here, one top-grade Ling Yuan Pill can be exchanged for three Boundless Purple Crystals. Even if the Boundless Purple Crystal they found is of excellent quality, it's worth at most one Ling Yuan Pill. This extra..."
"I see that most of you here have hidden injuries, especially you. Your cultivation has been stuck at the peak of Nascent Soul, all because of accumulated hidden injuries." Xiao Man carefully played with the Boundless Purple Crystal in his hand. "Take one, it will be beneficial for your hidden injuries."
"No, my injury is not serious. I'll save it for the other brothers..." Before Jiang Lan could finish speaking, Xiao Man threw him two more bottles of medicine. Everyone present looked at Xiao Man with disbelief. Who was this rich and foolish landlord?
"Junior Brother Nangong..." Jiang Lan's voice was distorted, "Do you know... do you know how much these pills are worth?"
"Pills are not worth much to me, I have as many as you want." Xiao Man said unhurriedly. "If you have good things, you can bring them to exchange. According to the value of different things, you can exchange for various pills from me."
"What kind of pills do you have?"
"Ling Yuan Pills, Purple Spirit Pills, Detoxification Pills, Illusion Breaking Pills. Whatever you want, I might have it." Xiao Man said unhurriedly, "Although I am from the Beast Taming Sect, I am also friends with the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Spirit Sect. I have a lot of pills."
"The pills outside are all poisonous." Someone suddenly said, "Taking pills from outside for a long time will..."
"Her pills are not poisonous." Jiang Lan said affirmatively, "Not only are they not poisonous, but they have very few impurities, much better than the pills we eat. Junior Brother Nangong, forgive me for asking, where did you get these pills?"
"I refined them myself."
"You are an alchemist?" Jiang Lan was shocked. In his understanding, excellent alchemists mostly came from the Heavenly Spirit Sect, but Xiao Man was not from the Heavenly Spirit Sect, but from the unrelated Beast Taming Sect, which made him very confused.
"Yes."
"Who is your master?"
"Lu Qing." Xiao Man said unhurriedly, "The pills refined by the Heavenly Spirit Sect are indeed poisonous, because their formulas are wrong, so the pills they refine contain a kind of toxin. This toxin is harmless if it doesn't encounter Meteoric Fire Stone, but once it encounters Meteoric Fire Stone, it will turn into a deadly poison."
"You... how do you know?" Jiang Lan asked in shock. This was a secret of the Holy Land that was not to be passed on. Xiao Man, as an outsider, was absolutely impossible to know this matter in their eyes, but now Xiao Man actually knew it.
"I am an alchemist, an excellent alchemist. If I can't even distinguish whether the pills I refine are good or bad, am I worthy of being an alchemist?" Xiao Man looked at Jiang Lan with a dim expression. "You only know that the pills outside are poisonous, do you know why they are poisonous?"
"Why are they poisonous?" Jiang Lan pressed.
"Yes, why are they poisonous?" Xiao Man seemed to be talking to himself. "I also want to know, so I accepted the invitation and came to this Holy Land, just to know why the pills outside are poisonous."
"But the pills you refine are not poisonous."
"That's right, the pills I refine are not poisonous because I use my own methods to refine them and the herbs I use are grown by myself." Xiao Man said slowly and steadily.
Everyone looked at each other. The pills refined by outsiders were all poisonous, but Xiao Man, an outsider, refined non-poisonous pills. Could it be that the poisonous pills from the outside world were related to the Holy Land?
"Junior Brother Nangong..."
"I'm tired from the journey, I'll go back and rest first. If any of you need pills, you can come to me for an exchange after I've rested enough." After saying that, Xiao Man turned and left, leaving everyone looking at each other in dismay.
"You can't give the Boundless Purple Crystal to you!" While everyone was silent, A Si, who was lying on the bed with severe injuries, suddenly shouted and sat up. "I won't give it to you even if I die!"
"A Si, you're awake, are you alright?" Jiang Lan quickly went to check A Si's injuries. When he found that A Si's injuries had miraculously healed, his expression was exceptionally shocked. Xiao Man's pills could actually restore a critically injured person to health in such a short time. No wonder she was so confident that her pills were not poisonous!
A Si saw that everyone around him was familiar, so he quickly felt himself, looking for the Boundless Purple Crystal. But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find it, and became anxious.
"Boss Jiang, where is the Boundless Purple Crystal, the Boundless Purple Crystal we found."
"I know, I know. Don't worry, the Boundless Purple Crystal is fine. We exchanged it for medicine." Jiang Lan comforted him, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere now?"
A Si moved his limbs: "I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere. Instead, I feel like I have endless energy. Boss Jiang, did the pills exchanged for the Boundless Purple Crystal get eaten by me? Isn't that too wasteful?"
"Wasteful of what?" Jiang Lan patted A Si's head, "You're still alive, that's our gain."
"But, the Boundless Purple Crystal that everyone worked so hard to keep, but it was given away to save me. I feel very bad." A Si lowered his head. "I suddenly feel like our previous struggles were all in vain."
"Nonsense, who says it was in vain?" Another person chimed in, "If you hadn't desperately protected the Boundless Purple Crystal, how could we have gotten so many pills?"
"So many pills?" A Si was confused. Even if the Boundless Purple Crystal they found was of high grade, it could only be exchanged for two pills at most. How could it be exchanged for many pills?
