Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 173 - 117 Sudden Change_2

"Humph, I'll get it from the Medicine Room myself, let's see who dares to stop me!"

Old Qiu huffed in anger and went to the Medicine Room to get the medicine.

Given Old Qiu's strength and his status in the Zhao Family, no one would dare to stop him if he wanted to grab a precious Spirit Medicine.

Probably, Old Qiu must have stashed away quite a lot abusing his privilege.

Chen Yi didn't want to stop him; it was already commendable that he could strictly follow the family prescription list without releasing any medicine without his approval.

If he really had to confront someone from the Qi Refining Seventh Layer directly, the salary from the medical institute wouldn't be worth it,

Two spirit stones a month, why should I risk my life for that?

Besides, Chen Yi saw a spiritual light above this old man's head, with red in the gray, implying he is not a long-lived person,

It won't be twenty years before he can dance on his grave.

Chen Yi preferred to keep a low profile to avoid troubles,

But how could he avoid them when he is in such a position.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the courtyard:

"Who touched my Spirit Medicine!"

"Everyone, come out!"

Old Qiu's angry shout echoed throughout the entire medical institute,

Before long, all the menial workers, medical apprentices, executives, Array Method guards, and some patients had all gathered.

Old Qiu pushed a patient out, who was already foaming at the mouth and lying motionless,

Chen Yi slightly sensed the Spiritual Light and found that the man was already dead.

Old Qiu held a ginseng in his hand, but the normal ginseng was yellow, the one in his hand was yellow on the outside but had a hint of blood on the inside, and several tendrils were missing.

It looked like those tendrils had been used to make medicine.

"Today, I used this ginseng to refine Heart-protecting Pill to cure this junior from the Zhao Family, but I didn't expect, this two-hundred-year-old ginseng has been replaced by someone with a hundred-year-old poisonous blood ginseng!

As a result, this junior of the Zhao family died from pill poison!"

Old Qiu glared round at everyone, then looked at Chen Yi:

"Chen Yi, you control the Array Plate and can enter any room. How do you explain this!"

"I have the Array Plate, but I didn't go to your Pill Room, nor did I touch anyone else's Spirit Medicine. We need to look into this matter carefully."

In front of everyone, Chen Yi didn't make any unnecessary movements and told the truth,

As an outsider, at such a sensitive time, it's best to remain static in response to the changes.

"Humph! Just because you said you didn't go doesn't mean you didn't. The only one who can enter my Pill Room is you! You can't escape this!

You cannot escape responsibility for the death of this junior!"

Chen Yi ignored his rant, and squatted down to examine the condition of the young Zhao family member,

From the outside, there were no signs of poisoning,

However, using the Turtle Breath Skill, Chen Yi could discern that it was due to the toxins of an earth elemental Demon Beast,

Next, he examined the ginseng again,

He found that it was indeed disguised as a blood ginseng, but it was not the so-called poisonous ginseng. Instead, it was mixed with the venom of a certain Demon Beast,

The toxicity was almost the same as that which killed the Zhao Family member.

"This Blood Ginseng itself is not a problem, but it has been eroded by the venom of a Demon Beast, so the pill made contains powerful poison.

The cause should be the venom of the Beast."

Chen Yi stated his findings.

Old Qiu was taken aback, he didn't expect that this youngster at the Fourth Level of Qi Refining could have such knowledge,

"Humph, I don't care what kind of Demon Beast it is, you're the only one who can get into my Pill Room! Even if it involves a Demon Beast, you must have put it in there!

Enough of your excuses, go call the Main Family Leader!

Besides, hand over your Array Plate immediately, we don't trust you!"

Old Qiu stubbornly insisted that Chen Yi was to blame,

That left Chen Yi, standing in front of all the Zhao family members, without any chance to defend himself,

A Zhao family member had died, Chen Yi did not share the Zhao surname, Chen Yi held the Array Plate, regardless of the truth, Chen Yi had no room to refute.

But Chen Yi didn't obediently hand over the Array Plate, he just held it out where everyone could see, saying:

"Chen Yi is innocent, everyone here is a suspect at the moment, when the Main Family Leader arrives, I will hand the Array Plate to them."

At that point, someone from the Medicine Room shouted:

"Not good, Old Qiu, manager Chen, two three-hundred-year-old Spirit Medicines from the Medicine Room are missing!"

Three hundred-year-old Spirit Medicine! These precious herbs could be used as auxiliary medicines in Second Tier pills, worth hundreds of Spirit Stones!

This was not a small amount.

"Alright Chen Yi, surely it's you, robbing your own vault!

You, lad, go and call the Main Family Leader of the Zhao Family over here!

No one else move,

Keep a close eye on this Chen, if he dares to make any move, kill him on the spot!"

At this moment, all the cultivators surnamed Zhao stood close to Old Qiu, staring at Chen Yi with hostile expressions,

Clearly, Old Qiu had won everyone's approval, Chen Yi, as an outsider and the biggest suspect, was suddenly isolated.

Chen Yi didn't make any rash moves, he was pondering the problems in the case,

Without understanding the enemy's motives, he wouldn't be able to find their weak point,

Right now, the enemy was hidden and he was exposed, so he could only remain static in response to the changes.

He wasn't afraid of any investigation, because he didn't have any Spirit Beast, but he couldn't figure out what the person's motives were,

Simply to steal Spirit Medicine? Or to kill two patients?

.....

It didn't take long before the Legitimate Child of the Zhao Family, who had reported the news, came over in a Flying Boat with a woman,

Chen Yi opened the Array Method and welcomed them in,

The woman was Zhao Chengjing.

"Master, my father is not here, so I will be investigating this matter today."

Zhao Chengjing paid her respects to Old Qiu, she was his student when she first began her studies in alchemy,

Then she looked at Chen Yi, a glint of doubt in her eyes, not because she doubted Chen Yi would do such a thing, but because she was puzzled that the Chen Yi she knew should not have done something like this.
