Chapter 1168 Exposing The Truth

The corners of Alex's lips curved into an icy grin when he took the pill from the young priest. It was exactly how he expected. Something as precious as snapdragon was simply priceless. After all, he had only obtained a single plant at the Ancient Medicine Exposition.

Alex could instantly identify the ingredients of the black pill in his hand with one glance. It was merely at mixture of flour, honey, and some food coloring

So this thing, which looks about the size of a thumbnail, is being sold for five thousand a piece, even though its total production cost probably isn't even worth more than a dozen?

As a fellow martial artist, Alex felt ashamed to see Lincoln deceive others under the pretext of being an immortal deity.

"Is this the so-called miraculous elixir you mentioned?" Alex's sharp gaze was fixed directly on Lincoln.

Lincoln felt the imposing aura emanating from Alex. It was an overwhelming pressure that was undoubtedly superior to his own cultivation level.

Could this young man before me have already reached the Grandmaster Realm at such a young age?

Hence, Lincoln telepathically said to Alex. "Young man, I know you are capable. Since we're both cultivators, I hope you can show some mercy. I will offer you twenty percent of the money from this deal. What do you think?"

Twenty percent was just a few hundred thousand-nothing but a trivial amount in Alex's eyes. He couldn't help Lincoln cover up this matter and commit a crime just for that small amount of money.

With a swift leap, Alex landed on the stage not far from Lincoln. Holding up the pill, he addressed the crowd below, "This so-called miracle elixir is nothing more than flour, honey, and food coloring. It has absolutely no effect on this flu outbreak. From the start, this was all a fraud planned by Lincoln to deceive your money."

Lincoln never expected that Alex would not leave him even a shred of dignity. Moreover, the latter chose. such a way to pull the rug from under Lincoln's feet.

Even in that situation, there was nothing Lincoln could do to Alex. After all, his power was no match for Alex, and going up against him would only result in a beating.

All he could do was keep up his calm demeanor and figure out how to sell those one thousand pills.

"Hey, young man, why would you say that? If the medicine I'm selling doesn't work, why has this small village's flu outbreak gradually improved? It's not as if you're the one who was curing the villagers," Lincoln said as he tried to suppress the anger in his heart.

Upon hearing Lincoln's words, everyone thought it over and found his words to be very reasonable. After his arrival, the flu cases in the small village were not as severe as before, and the number of sick people had decreased.

"Hey! We won't go easy on you if you dare to slander Master Lincoln again!"

"Get out of our village! You're not welcome here! Hurry up and leave!"

A sly smile appeared on Lincoln's face when he saw how the villagers reacted. Even if this young man is more powerful than me, what can he do by exposing me? At this point, these people have put their unconditional trust in me.

Nothing can change that fact.

Alex coldly glanced at Lincoln. He didn't blame the villagers for not believing him. After all, Lincoln had been there for a long time and had instilled many ideas into them. It was indeed difficult for them to listen to Alex's words.

Even so, Alex had to resolve the matter. He would not allow Lincoln, a fellow martial artist, to continue deceiving and tarnishing the reputation of the martial arts community.

"The flu cases in the village slowly decreased because you all took good preventive measures, such as wearing masks and disinfecting regularly. These stopped the influenza virus from spreading further, and that's why things gradually improved, not because of the mixture of flour and honey, Alex slowly explained.

He balled his hand into a fist and crushed the little black pill into powder.
