"Are you sure this white jade bottle was clean before you put the life-saving pill in?"

Liu Xinyue asked after hearing Fang Ming's words.

"Sure. I cleaned it myself. I remember clearly. I even washed it many times." Fang Ming nodded and then said, "And my master even specially praised me at that time for washing up cleanly."

That was the first thing he did after he was accepted as a disciple by his master. Therefore, Fang Ming had made a special effort to firmly remember this matter.

"In that case, the golden powder that appeared in the bottle can only mean that it was produced by the item in the bottle."

Liu Xinyue analyzed the golden powder in his hand.

"Ah?" Something inside the bottle? " Fang Ming was stunned as he muttered, "This bottle only contained life-saving pills. Is there nothing else?"

"That means that this golden powder was dropped from that life-saving pill."

Liu Xinyue said affirmatively. Other than that, there was no other explanation.

"Impossible!" Hearing Liu Xinyue's analysis, Fang Ming immediately shook his head and said, "That's impossible."

"This life-saving pill was personally concocted by Master, and I also took it." Fang Ming explained, "At that time, there was no golden powder on my hand."

If there was golden powder on this life-saving pill, then when Fang Ming placed the life-saving pill into the white jade bottle, his hand would have been covered with the golden powder.

But he didn't.

So Fang Ming would think that Liu Xinyue's analysis was wrong.

"I don't know if you've noticed the golden patterns on the lifesaving pill." Liu Xinyue continued speaking, and then he placed the finger that was covered in the golden powder into his mouth and tasted it.

"Hey, why are you randomly trying to taste something?" Seeing Liu Xinyue's actions, Fang Ming was shocked, he immediately pulled her hand out of his mouth and continued, "I don't even know what this golden powder is. Could it be that it's poisonous?

"It's fine, I guess this was dropped from the life-saving pill. Since it's a life-saving pill, it shouldn't be poisonous."

Liu Xinyue laughed, then took back his hand and said.

"Aiya, you can do whatever you want, but if you have any reactions, you have to tell me, I will ask my master to help you." Fang Ming stared at Liu Xinyue for a while, seeing that her face was flushed red without any adverse reactions, he heaved a sigh of relief and said.

"Got it, little doctor." Liu Xinyue said with a smile.

Regardless of anything else, just the word 'care' was enough to qualify Fang Ming as a future doctor.

"I'm not some doctor, I'm just an apprentice." Hearing Liu Xinyue's words, Fang Ming's face reddened a little as he shyly lowered his head and returned to Chong Zhicheng's side.

The moment Fang Ming left, Liu Xinyue's face, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly turned serious.

Because Liu Xinyue had a physique that was born with poison, any poison was useless against her. She could also differentiate whether or not a poison was present by trying to taste something.

And from the taste just now, Liu Xinyue realised that although the golden powder was not poisonous, it was still a harmful substance.

To put it simply, Liu Xinyue speculated that the golden powder was a type of pill ash.

This type of pill ash was not the ash found in the pill furnace when concocting pills. Rather, it was the ash produced by the pill during the process of concocting pills.

To be exact, it wasn't Dan Hui but Dan Chi.

Usually, these dregs would appear in a cauldron of pills. A few of them were successful, and a few were unsuccessful. However, they were contaminated with the dregs released by the successful pills beside them.

These dregs were attached to the failed pill, causing it to look no different from a successful pill. This could easily cause others to mistake it for a successful pill as well and use it for others to consume.

Normally, after taking this kind of failed pill that contained dregs, the patient would not have any big problems. At most, the pill would have no effect.

However, there were a few people who would die because of this.

As for the proportion of pills that failed in disguising themselves as a success rate, it was more likely to be used in the refining of top quality pills.

This was because the higher the grade of the medicinal pill, the harder it was to cultivate. It was easier to produce dregs, which would lead to more camouflage medicinal pills.

From that, Chong Zhicheng took out a life-saving pill and it became a camouflage pill!

"Doctor Chong, how much longer do we have to wait? I can't wait any longer! "

"I don't think there's any hope, Wang Wen ah, let's restrain our grief!"

"Seems like even Doctor Chong is unable to save Wang Mang. What a pity."

"Sigh …"

The villagers could not wait any longer. Some sighed as they questioned the sadness of others.

"That's impossible! How could my life-saving pills be useless? " Chong Zhicheng was going a little crazy, he really couldn't understand why the life-saving pills weren't working.

"Because yours is fake medicine." Liu Xinyue slowly said.

"What?" A fake medicine? " When the villagers heard this, they were dumbfounded. How did this life-saving pill become a fake medicine in the blink of an eye?

However, if it wasn't a fake medicine, there was no way to explain the failure of the life-saving pill.

"How could the medicine that Doctor Chong took out be fake?"

"Didn't he lie to people before? "You forgot about Erniu's family at the village entrance …"

"It really is. However, I saw how sincere he was in apologizing just now. I thought he had completely changed, but I didn't expect it to still be like this."

The villagers talked amongst themselves, while old village head looked at Chong Zhicheng with a pained expression.

Who would have thought that at this point, he would still use fake medicine.

"Impossible!" What fake medicine are you talking about! " Chong Zhicheng looked at Liu Xinyue and asked with a sharp gaze.

"I said the life-saving pill you just took out was fake." Liu Xinyue walked to Chong Zhicheng's side and returned the white jade bottle to him, then continued speaking, "Take a look at this bottle, is there any golden powder in the corner?"

Chong Zhicheng looked at the white jade bottle in accordance to what Liu Xinyue had said, and was stunned when he found that there really was golden powder.

When did this happen?

"I've already analyzed this golden powder and found that it is a type of dregs." Seeing Chong Zhicheng's expression, Liu Xinyue knew that he had guessed something, and said directly.

"Dan dregs …" Because Chong Zhicheng liked to refine pills too, he knew what pill dregs were. He had already made some guesses just now, but he was not sure. After hearing what Liu Xinyue said, he immediately went limp and fell to the ground.
