Mo Qi shook his head, "Don't worry about me. I just want to see if you'll dodge."
The Myriad Laws Moon Wheel in his hand began to hum, its vibration shaking heaven and earth.
Zhunti broke out in a sweat, watching Mo Qi nervously. "Life and death are fated, everything is by chance."
"Then today, I'll see if you live or die."
"But I don't want to get too entangled with you."
Xue Nu said softly, "Everyone sweeps the snow before their own door, and doesn't bother with the frost on others' roofs. You can't bully people too much."
Mo Qi withdrew the Myriad Laws Moon Wheel. "Just kidding. Look how nervous you are."
Zhunti wiped his sweat. "When was I nervous? The Dharma is boundless, and one day, it will triumph over the heavens."
At this moment, Linghu Xiaoxian felt bored and was drawn to the nearby stalls selling elixirs and magical artifacts. She seemed to have taken a liking to something but didn't seem to have money on her. She asked if she could trade, and the shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with a mustache, his eyes gleaming, looking shrewd.
"Trading is possible, but only if I find it appealing."
Linghu Xiaoxian took out an elixir and handed it to the middle-aged man. "I'll trade this healing elixir for your beauty elixir."
This foolish girl, why does she always make losing trades?
Mo Qi immediately rushed over. Just as the middle-aged man was about to take the elixir from Linghu Xiaoxian, Mo Qi snatched it away and reprimanded her, "Are you stupid? Trading your good elixir for his waste elixir? Did your head get squeezed through a door?"
Linghu Xiaoxian was furious and kicked Mo Qi. "How dare you scold me? Are you tired of living?"
Mo Qi dodged nimbly. "I don't necessarily want to scold you, but what you're doing is too much."
"How is it too much?" Linghu Xiaoxian reached for Mo Qi's hand. "Give me back my elixir. What business is it of yours? Give me back my elixir."
"How is it not my business? Because all your elixirs were given to you by me, and I can't just stand by and watch you waste precious resources," Mo Qi said righteously as he dodged her attacks.
At this moment, Xue Nu also took out an elixir and examined it. She realized that the elixirs she had were the same as Linghu Xiaoxian's. Could it be that the stories he told were true? Otherwise, how could these elixirs be explained?
The middle-aged man was displeased when Mo Qi called his elixirs waste elixirs. "You country bumpkin, what do you know? How dare you slander my elixirs? Do you know what elixir this is? This is the renowned Mo family elixir from all the realms. The Mo family elixir was refined by a senior surnamed Mo. This senior is five million years old and has four million nine hundred thousand years of refining skill. He can draw a thousand threads with his eyes closed, surpassing all alchemists in the world."
Mo Qi immediately laughed and returned the elixir to Linghu Xiaoxian. Linghu Xiaoxian still kicked him.
Mo Qi was not angry at all. "Did you hear that? He's praising me."
Linghu Xiaoxian took the elixir and looked at it repeatedly, half-believing. "Did you really refine this elixir? But you don't look five million years old."
Mo Qi coughed dryly. "I just look younger."
Xue Nu pursed her lips. "You didn't say that when you were telling stories."
"The stories are true," Mo Qi said casually. "What he said is half true and half false; just listen to what you like. What he says sounds good, but what's heartbreaking is that the elixirs he sells are all fake."
The middle-aged man impatiently looked at Linghu Xiaoxian. "Are you going to trade or not?"
Linghu Xiaoxian hesitated and then looked at Mo Qi. "Are we trading or not?"
"No."
"But I need the beauty elixir."
"You should have some," Mo Qi said. "Rummage through your storage bag; you should have more. I gave you a lot."
Linghu Xiaoxian hesitantly took out her storage bag and rummaged through it. To her surprise, she found a beauty elixir, which had the same mark as the healing elixir.
Mo Qi smiled. "See? You should believe me now, shouldn't you?"
"I don't believe you."
The middle-aged man urged again. "Are you going to trade or not?"
"No, I have it."
Just then, a young couple walked over. The woman wanted to buy a beauty elixir, and the man wanted to buy a beast soul elixir. When they asked the price, the middle-aged man said, "Two hundred million gold coins."
"Two hundred million gold coins? Why don't you just rob us?" the woman exclaimed.
"It's not an exaggeration at all. This is a Mo family elixir," the middle-aged man said dismissively.
The young man nodded. "If it's a Mo family elixir, then it's not an exaggeration. But is yours really a Mo family elixir?"
"Of course, it's genuine. Ten times the price if it's fake," the middle-aged man said confidently.
The young woman tugged at the young man. "Why don't we just not buy it? It's too expensive, and we're not sure if it's genuine."
The middle-aged man took an elixir and offered it to the young man. "Take a look at this elixir first, or you can try it. Pay only if it works."
The young man hesitated, took the elixir, and examined it from all angles. His brow gradually furrowed. "I feel like something is wrong, but I can't quite put my finger on it."
The middle-aged man snatched the elixir back. "Are you going to buy it or not? If not, then fine. How can a man be so indecisive?"
Mo Qi shook his head, deciding to teach the middle-aged man a lesson.
Originally, it was fine for you to sell your elixirs, but to pass off inferior goods as superior, and to deceive and swindle, is utterly detestable.
Thinking this, Mo Qi took out an elixir and offered it to the young man. "Friend, what do you think of my elixir?"
The young man glanced at Mo Qi, unsure of his intentions. His intuition told him that this was a competitor trying to steal his business.
The middle-aged man was also annoyed and cursed, "Are you looking for a fight? You're ruining my business, one deal after another. Do I have any enmity with you?"
"Of course, we have enmity, because what you're selling isn't a Mo family elixir. Mine is," Mo Qi said righteously.
The middle-aged man felt a little guilty but gritted his teeth and said, "You're spouting nonsense. I sell Mo family elixirs here every day, and no one has ever dared to say mine is fake."
"Ah, you sell them here every day? Doesn't that mean you've cheated many people?" Mo Qi exclaimed.
"You..." The middle-aged man was furious and prepared to attack.
At this moment, the young man took the elixir and said, "Don't argue first. Let me take a look."
Only then did the middle-aged man refrain from attacking.
He thought, mine is fake, and yours can't possibly be real. Let's see what you can figure out.
The middle-aged man actually used his Heavenly Eye divine ability to examine it. Mo Qi approved of this action and nodded continuously.
After a few glances, his face showed a shocked expression. "You, yours is genuine!"
Mo Qi's face showed a knowing smile.
Linghu Xiaoxian and Xue Nu were both very surprised. They wanted to verify not just the issue of the elixirs.
The authenticity of the elixirs seemed to indirectly confirm other matters.
The middle-aged man coughed dryly. "Don't speak nonsense if you don't understand. I've been selling Mo family elixirs here all along. Could it be that mine is fake?"
