Chapter 618 What did you just say?
"The Free and Unfettered Sect, may I ask which alchemist can teach a cultivator to refine a high-grade pill in five days? It's nothing but self-deception and a way to fool the masses."
Qiongmo changed her character model and even her name to be anonymous. She was really unwilling to accept that Zhong Liyu and Li Ling had set a trap to ruin her reputation.
The list of heroes has ended, and the Venus Exchange has the most monks.
Qiongmo then spread the news everywhere in this place.
The scene that Li Xi saw was a cultivator standing in front of the street, surrounded by many other cultivators.
It is clear that they were attracted.
Li Xi glanced in that direction while working.
After Qiongmo spoke, several people agreed, but most of them were not alchemists; if they were, they were only low-level or mid-level alchemists.
"This matter has caused quite a stir recently, have you heard?"
"I definitely heard it. At first, people were suspicious because they said the cultivator came out after only half a day. Then, after the Danxiu Ranking ended, the official released a video, and now the doubts have subsided a lot. But in my opinion, you know what I mean."
"Sigh, these darlings of capital play the same old game over and over again. It's meaningless. Anyway, coming to the Pill Cultivation Ranking is just for show. Everyone else is just there to make a name for themselves."
"So, this cultivator from the Free and Unfettered Sect named Hongmu must have quite a lot of backing. You wouldn't guess it at all."
Seeing that she had successfully inspired the surrounding cultivators, Qiongmo immediately began to guide them:
"We have the videos; it's crystal clear who cheated and who didn't."
The concept of "Qiongmo" is deliberately blurred.
The discussion among the assembled cultivators quickly grew louder:
"Sure enough, I knew it. They said the Free and Unfettered Sect was some kind of dilapidated sect. These kinds of lists are all about people. The Medical Cultivation List is a perfect example. Whoever has money and power gets on the list."
"I knew it! How could someone like Hongmu, with no connections, possibly be on the list? Turns out she cheated! She must have someone protecting her. Who will dare say the Xiaoyao Sect is poor now? I bet she's royalty in the sect competition. She got first place on the alchemy ranking, she should be secretly thrilled."
"The main problem is that she refines pills too fast. With her hand speed, you don't even know when she'll slip in a top-grade first-level pill. I still think there's something wrong with the Pill Cultivation Ranking."
"I agree. A high-level alchemist in her twenties is already incredibly talented. Let alone refining pills in seven days, she only managed to refine them in five hours, and with an 80% success rate. Isn't she just treating us like idiots? If the top spot is predetermined, at least make it more realistic. If she can refine high-grade pills, then I can just spend five hours buying one and that counts as refining one too."
"Hahaha, that makes perfect sense!"
"That's how it is when someone's ability doesn't match their ranking. What other explanation can the authorities give? If they've already taken money, wouldn't explaining it be a slap in their own face?" said a boy staring at the red-haired guy.
"Wait, don't speak yet, it seems the people from the Free and Unfettered Sect have arrived."
The red-haired man scoffed, "What good is it if the people from the Free and Unfettered Sect come? Are we wrong? Even if Hongmu came today, it wouldn't matter. The Empire advocates freedom of speech, and she can't shut me up no matter what."
Zhong Liyu glanced at the crowd with a hint of disdain. Were these people stupid? There was no need for Jiang He to lift a finger; he could have handled it immediately.
Zhong Liyu took a step forward, but someone was faster than him.
Jiang He looked at the gathered cultivators and silently squeezed into the crowd, placing her hand on the red-haired man's shoulder:
"What did you just say?"
