"Where's the person everyone talked about? Drag him out for me!" said the bully. Judging on his look, this bully likely had a deformity during his growth phase, making his eyes ended up positioned on top of his head instead.

But because of his strength as a second stage Flesh Refining Realm, his words were the law around here.

Those that feeling indebted to Qin Lan hesitates. As for those further away, they quickly slip away from this place to avoid trouble. Only those still seeking Qin Lan's help stayed and kept him hidden from this bully's sight.

"Are you guy deaf? Bring that guy out for me, and these two Flesh Tempering Pills will be yours!" the bully tossed the pills on the ground. The moment the two medicinal pellets made their appearance, the disciple's eyes changed.

Ant died for sugar, humans killed for gold.

The attraction brought by the two pills was something every disciple was unable to resist.

As an outer disciple of this Iron Flesh Sect, every one of them was given twenty-one Iron Body Pill to aid them in their cultivation. If the disciples wanted more, they could accomplish the specific task assigned by the Mission Pavilion for a small reward.

But getting a Flesh Tempering Pill was an entirely different matter.

A pill of this grade can only be obtained by completing missions, which is much harder depending on the mission's requirement. These missions usually ranged from hunting specific spiritual beasts, pill refining, etc.

Since this bully does have some actual ability, they don't even need to verify if the Flesh Tempering Pill he had is the real deal.

A few disciple's attitudes started to change while staring at the pill lying on the ground. Even if they felt gratitude to Qin Lan for treating them, a sense of gratitude cannot be eaten. But the Flesh Tempering Pill could.

It might be a stupid choice, but who would give up a chance to cultivate using two Flesh Tempering Pills to push their cultivation closer to the peak?

In this world where strength governs everything, power is everything.

One could be a saint if he had power, and one would be nothing if he had the heart but no money nor strength!

The disciples around the house immediately separated into two factions. Those standing around Qin Lan were the ones protecting him and their own interest. And the others were those who wanted to deliver Qin Lan to the bully for the two Flesh Tempering Pills reward.

Surprisingly, a few of them were a patient of Qin Lan before this. It seems that the attraction from the pills was more than one could imagine, as it could make someone turned their weapon against their own benefactor for profits.

"What are you guys waiting for?" the bully speaks out for the third time.

"Shut up." Qin Lan responded to his question this time. The smile on his face was gone as he was disappointed by the few disciples considering the bully's offer. But again, no rules are stating that a patient cannot go against their physician after treatment.

In fact, such a thing was normal during his peak.

The incident where Pill Refiner was killed or kidnapped forcefully because of their skills was not rare. It was a pretty severe problem that, at one point, Qin Lan had to state that all physicians, refiners, and herbalists belonged to a banner of his.

Standing up from where he was, the crowd opened a path for Qin Lan to slowly walked out from the house until he arrived before the bully. His gaze was laid on the two Flesh Tempering Pills on the ground.

"Did you say that whoever brings the physician out to you will be rewarded with these two Flesh Tempering Pill?" Qin Lan asked while holding the two pills in his hand.

"Yes, I did say that. What's the problem? Are you unhappy with what I'm doing?" the bully replied. Both of his hands were placed on his waist while he spoke to show his domineering attitude.

"Oh! There's no problem at all. It just means I am allowed to keep them since I brought myself out here. This was the reward you promised, right?" Qin Lan shrugged and kept the two pills in the pouch hanging around his waist.

He had no idea this pouch would end up so helpful to him.

After putting the pills into his pouch, Qin Lan turned around and was ready to leave. From the look of it, he was not interested in talking with the bully at all.

"Hey! What do you mean?" the bully stomped hard on the ground to vent some of his anger out. This was his first time encountering someone as crafty as Qin Lan, and it never came to his mind that Qin Lan would try to leave after pocketing the pill.

Initially, the bully had no intention to give the pills out to the juniors. Even if they insist on the reward, he can simply beat them and keep the medicine for himself. Plus, he does have the strength to behave selfishly here.

But looking at Qin Lan pocketed the two Flesh Tempering Pills he painstakingly earned angered him.

Not many people know that he had to travel into the Hundred Poison Swamp and camp there for several days to earn the two Flesh Tempering Pills. And that was considered the most straightforward mission available, which is capturing a Verdant Horn Lizard alive.

"Is there something between us? You're not a patient and not my senior brother, so I doubt we have something to talk about. If there's nothing else, please stop disturbing me as I still have something to do." Qin Lan said before turning his back to the bully.

"FUCK YOU!" looks like Qin Lan's unbothered attitude finally got the best out of the bully. No longer capable of holding in all his anger, he punched forward using all his might.

"Oh shit! Our physician wasn't a cultivator! He'll die if this attack gets him!" screamed one of the disciples watching inside the house.

"What's going on here? Did someone trying to start a fight?" a voice came from all around them.

All the disciples started to look around them for the owner of the voice. But it took them a while to noticed the expert standing on a boulder with the Outer Sect marking.

"Is that... Elder Gongsun?" one of the disciples asked.

"Yes... I think that's Elder Gongsun from the Medicinal Pavilion." another disciple answered.
