If herbs were so useful, human cultivators could eat them directly. They wouldn’t value medicine refiners so much.
Medicine refiners could combine hundreds of herbs together, and the medicine was much more effective than individual herbs.
Moreover, that was a Semi-Divine pill.
The seven beast kings in the central area all had tempers, and they fought all the time.
Fights led to injuries.
If one of them could get their hands on such a pill, it would be like having an extra life.
Hence, the Peacock King put away its arrogance and smiled at Feng Wu. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll snatch it from you?”
To its surprise, the human girl only beamed at it.
“If you do that, you won’t have any more pills. Do you want it to be a once-off thing, or would you like a constant stream of Semi-Divine pills? I think the answer is obvious.”
The Peacock King was amazed by the girl.
By the time the Peacock King realized what had happened, it had agreed to her terms.
The Peacock King then realized Sakiya was staring at it.
The bird felt a little flustered.
“Ahem!”
The Peacock King stared back at Sakiya. “Do you want it or not?”
Sakiya asked, “Is it toxic?”
The Peacock King said, “No, it’s not.”
Sakiya asked, “Are you sure?’
The Peacock King recalled what that girl said.
She said, “If Sakiya shows any signs of doubt…”
The next moment, the Peacock King poured the potion down its throat.
Everybody was astonished.
Sakiya frowned a little.
Of all the magical beasts, the Peacock King knew herbs the best. That was why there was an Immortal Spiritual Tree in its territory.
The Dongsang Kingdom had to pay a small fortune to buy that tree from the Peacock King.
But now, it had drunk all the potion.
The Peacock King wasn’t afraid.
The girl said she had poisoned the potion and had given the antidote to the Peacock King.
If Sakiya doubted the Peacock King’s conclusion, it could simply drink the potion.
It wouldn’t be poisoned and could have the potion for nothing. Moreover, she would give it another Semi-Divine pill afterward.
What a sweet deal!
Feng Wu’s prediction was right.
Sakiya was a paranoid man. Once he started questioning something, he wouldn’t stop until he found an answer.
Even Mu Yan couldn’t fool him, let alone Bu Jingyu.
Therefore, the Peacock King would have to tie up the loose end.
Bu Jingyu was relieved when the Peacock King drank the potion.
When his master glanced at him, he thought he was going to be caught.
Sakiya glared at the Peacock King.
The Peacock King said indifferently, “You didn’t believe me, so I had to prove it to you. What’s wrong with that?”
Sakiya didn’t know what to do with the greedy Peacock King.
Either way, he didn’t dare give the potion to the crown prince.
He glanced at the Immortal Spiritual Tree.
Fortunately, there was one more.
