I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 82: We, Qingfeng Treasure Shop, are the good guys.

Seeing his own president so angry he was about to vomit blood, yet forced to swallow his anger, Qingyi pursed his lips.

A bit pitiful.

He continued, "President, our informant at Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop said that the girl's name is Qin Yiyao, and she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but her background is unknown."

"Based on my probing that day, Qin Yiyao is the true owner of the Gu Family Medical Clinic!"

Shang Xiong slowly closed his eyes, thinking that this step had gone astray and led to a complete collapse, all because Qing Si failed to kill the two women who were eavesdropping on the secrets of the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop. Now they had to face a heavy counterattack from the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop!

But the key is still that Gu family medical clinic!

That girl named Qin Yiyao, sixteen or seventeen years old, at the second level of Foundation Establishment, could reverse the process of Core Formation, and also possessed such exquisite alchemy skills...

Shang Xiong immediately became alert.

Could this girl also be some kind of mysterious genius, personally taught by some powerful figure?

"Guild Master, after careful consideration, I believe that Qin Yiyao is just a rogue cultivator with no powerful backing!"

Qingyi knew Shangxiong's concerns, so she spoke directly.

"Rogue cultivator?"

Shang Xiong sneered, "Qing Yi, I'm not some ignorant person. Tell me, do all young rogue cultivators these days have this kind of ability?!"

He didn't quite believe Qingyi's words. Although Qingyi was his most loyal assassin, Shang Xiong was still angry and couldn't help but feel some resentment towards him.

Moreover, Shang Xiong was knowledgeable and experienced. He had even shown the Golden Spirit Elixir to the young man in black robes who was cooperating with them, but the man only commented, "I am not as good as this person" and "It's unbelievable that there is such an alchemist in a place like this..."

Even a genius with such a mysterious background has said such things.

Can Shang Xiong still believe what Qingyi said—that the owner of the Gu family medical clinic is a rogue cultivator?

There are naturally gifted talents in the world, but is Qingfeng Baoxing just so unlucky that it had to run into one at this time?

This Cloud Spirit City isn't some auspicious place!

Where do so many geniuses come from?!

If that's true, is it just bad luck for them, or good luck for the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop?

Sensing the overwhelming anger of her guild leader, Qingyi lowered her stance and slowly said, "Guild leader, I believe that if she is truly a disciple of some powerful figure, such talent should be given special attention and even sent to the Qingyi Divine Palace for intensive cultivation... So why did she choose to open such an inconspicuous clinic in the south of Yunling City?"

Upon hearing this, the anger in Shang Xiong's eyes gradually subsided.

Yes.

Which of those young prodigies, backed by powerful figures and supported by great forces, isn't focused on cultivating their skills and becoming stronger?

How could they possibly have the mind to mingle among ordinary people and open a clinic to treat their illnesses?

This behavior is somewhat unusual.

Even the black-robed man who cooperated with their Qingfeng Baoxing was mysterious in every way, and Shang Xiong could feel an arrogance in his words. Such demeanor is not so easy to cultivate.

Those who have powerful backers are always arrogant and look down on others.

This was Shang Xiong's most trusted "experience," gained from decades of experience in the business world. "Another point, I think it's also clear that Qin Yiyao is a rogue cultivator."

Seeing that Shang Xiong seemed to believe his story, Qingyi continued to present what he considered to be "evidence".

Shang Xiong narrowed his eyes. "Go on."

"The Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop has agreed to a cooperation with Qin Yiyao, but according to our informant within the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop, the reward that Guild Master Feng Wuxin gave her was merely gold and silver used by mortals!"

"what?"

Shang Xiong was taken aback: "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely true!"

Qingyi certainly wouldn't dare to tell any lies on such a crucial matter.

Shang Xiong, meanwhile, was deeply puzzled, his mind racing.

The sudden appearance of this Golden Spirit Liquid directly kicked Qingfeng Treasure Shop out of the low-level healing medicine market, and it can also bring Jinhuang Treasure Shop hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of spirit stones in income!

But the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop's reward to people is ordinary people's money?

What can the wealth of ordinary people do for cultivators?

Are you just going to scatter it around for fun?

Or perhaps the owner of the clinic had never even seen many spirit stones and had been living on ordinary money, so he didn't know how much to ask for in this matter, which allowed Feng Wuxin to see through his scheme and then pull off this disguised "get something for nothing" act.

The gold and silver, which were useless to cultivators, were exchanged for healing elixirs that could bring such a huge profit in spirit stones...

Shang Xiong didn't even think of this behavior as getting something for nothing.

This is like snatching a beggar's golden bowl right in front of a blind person! If that's the case, then Qin Yiyao is probably just a talented but rough-and-tumble girl who doesn't know anything!

She probably doesn't even understand how precious spirit stones are!

Gold and silver are nothing compared to spirit stones; they're not even worth a hair on a cow!

"It turns out...that's it."

Shang Xiong suddenly sat up in bed, his face flushed. Qing Yi was startled, thinking that the president was having a final burst of energy before death. But he soon saw Shang Xiong jump off the bed, pick up the bottle of Golden Spirit Liquid on the table, and gulp it down!

The Golden Elixir has a very light and refreshing taste, but after drinking it, a warm sensation spreads from the stomach, as if one were in a warm stove, so comfortable that one can't help but hum a few songs to relieve the heat in one's heart.

"Hehe... This Golden Spirit Liquid is indeed stronger and more powerful than that Azure Spirit Liquid."

Shang Xiong felt the warm current and murmured to himself. Then, he smashed the jade bottle to pieces.

“Hahaha…very good!”

"Qingfeng Baoxing still has a chance to turn the tide of the battle!"

Shang Xiong laughed loudly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed in them.

Heaven didn't forsake him!

If Feng Wuxin of the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop were willing to work more sincerely and honestly offer spirit stones, or even magical artifacts and treasures used by cultivators, as payment for the "Golden Spirit Liquid" to the owner of the medical clinic, then the Green Wind Treasure Shop would indeed not be able to find such an opportunity to exploit the situation.

Unfortunately, that woman was also a cunning and unscrupulous businesswoman.

She took advantage of Qin Yiyao's naivety, young age, and lack of worldly experience to maximize her own interests!

In other words, the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop did not give any of the rewards that were due!

It's time for Qingfeng Baoxing to make their move!

"I wonder what brilliant plan the president has?" Qingyi quickly leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

Although it's unclear why the chairman is so happy, he must have found a way to break the deadlock.

A cold glint flashed in Shang Xiong's eyes as he said, "Since the owner of that clinic is just a country girl with no background and shallow ideas, let's tell her that the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop is actually deceiving her..."

"But we are the good people."
