最终,Jade Stone Daoist and Li Yu were carried away by the guards.

Because their condition was too indecent.

The three managers on stage couldn’t bear to watch.

Even though they wanted to kick Jade Stone Daoist out.

But he was still a representative of the management team.

They had already lost enough face; if this kept dragging on, the Flea Market would become a joke.

Under the Iron Maiden’s instructions, the guards came over to carry them away.

However, due to the crazy iron rod and the water all over the ground, the guards moved cautiously.

They were afraid of provoking this shameless master and disciple.

When they were carried away by the guards, the expressions on Jade Stone Daoist’s and Li Yu’s faces were utterly defeated.

Their faces looked as if they had indulged ten times with no difference.

They seemed just one step away from sudden death.

When the two finally disappeared from sight, the crowd began discussing.

"Terrifying, absolutely terrifying!"

"I’ve never experienced such a frightening thing in my life!"

"Completely like a horror movie, isn’t it!"

Compared to everyone else, Qin Hao was much calmer.

He walked slowly towards the judges’ stand.

Chu Head closely followed behind.

"Hello, judges!" Qin Hao said, cupping his hands as he walked onto the stage.

"Hello, Qin Hao!" Elder Gong smiled and greeted.

Iron Maiden nodded, her expression somewhat kinder.

Young Master Xu quietly gave a thumbs up, implying that Brother Qin was impressive!

"I’ve come to collect my prize," Qin Hao didn’t hesitate, as he participated solely for that Exotic Fragrant Grass; everything else was insignificant.

"Hehe, Young Friend Qin is straightforward!" Elder Gong smiled, clapping his hands, and a guard came over with a box.

Opening the box, inside lay an Exotic Grass, which was indeed that Exotic Fragrant Grass.

Qin Hao’s eyes lit up, and he nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad!"

"Hehe, this is for Young Friend Qin."

Elder Gong handed over the box.

Without a second thought, Qin Hao took it, put it in his backpack, and said, "Xiao Xuxu, come find me for a playdate when you’re free, you know my number. Farewell!"

With that, he actually turned around to leave.

Young Master Xu was surprised by this, Elder Gong and Iron Maiden were also surprised.

Chu Head and everyone on the scene were surprised.

What’s going on?

Leaving without a word?

They were at least the managers of the Flea Market; couldn’t he at least acknowledge them?

This Qin Hao was way too aloof!

"Wait!" At this moment, Elder Gong couldn’t help but call out to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao didn’t turn around, "Anything else?"

Elder Gong chuckled, "I think Young Friend Qin’s alchemy skill is remarkable; I have an impertinent request..."

The previous contest was enough to prove Qin Hao’s profound skill in Alchemy Dao.

In modern times, one would be hard-pressed to find a rival.

Such talent, Elder Gong didn’t want to miss.

To their surprise, Qin Hao calmly said, "Sorry, I’m not interested."

Elder Gong was a bit shocked, "Young Friend Qin, won’t you reconsider? The benefits of assisting us are boundless..."

"No, my mind is set." Qin Hao still firmly refused.

"Young man!" Iron Maiden, seeming unable to stand it, said with a chilly voice, "I admit you are strong, but aren’t you going too far by undermining Jade Stone Daoist’s dignity?"

Qin Hao turned around, his face composed, "If I lost, I would have to consume a highly toxic elixir. He intended to kill me, yet I spared his life. In any view, I am benevolent."

"Nonsense!" Iron Maiden’s face still showed discontent.

Young Master Xu tried to mediate, "Alright, alright, the matter is already over, let’s not dwell on it. I also think Jade Stone Daoist was too much, Brother Qin did nothing while he kept provoking, the outcome was self-inflicted."

"At least Xiao Xuxu understands me." Qin Hao displayed a bright smile.

Iron Maiden’s expression remained icy, "Qin Hao, no matter what, you’ve tarnished the Flea Market’s reputation. Unless you compensate somehow, I won’t allow you to leave!"

After saying this, she glanced at Elder Gong.

Elder Gong’s expression changed several times, then he also nodded, "I agree with Iron Maiden."

Young Master Xu felt awkward. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

He said to Iron Maiden, "Iron Maiden..."

As soon as he started, Iron Maiden waved her hand to interrupt, "Young Master Xu, as a manager at the Flea Market, you should stand on our side. However, considering your sense of loyalty, I can let you abstain from this matter."

Young Master Xu showed a conflicted expression and hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "I can’t, Brother Qin is my brother, I can’t let him suffer!"

Qin Hao saw everything and was deeply moved.

He smiled, "Xiao Xuxu, you don’t have to meddle."

"But big brother..."

Young Master Xu wanted to say more, but Qin Hao said, "Truly, trust me."

"Well then!" Young Master Xu could only say reluctantly.

He had faith in Qin Hao’s abilities, so he decided not to interfere.

"So, Iron Maiden, what price do you want me to pay?"

Qin Hao looked playfully at Iron Maiden.

Iron Maiden remained indifferent, "You have two options. Either stay and become the chief Alchemist of the Flea Market, or, take the elixir left by Jade Stone Daoist."

As soon as she said this, distant Alchemists were shocked.

"What, Iron Maiden is this ruthless?"

"Qin Hao won, yet he still has to take a Poison Pill? That’s too much!"

"That’s a precious Profound Tier Poison Pill! How could anyone survive it?!"

Due to the earlier interactions, Qin Hao had impressed many Alchemists, and thus public sentiment was on his side.

In their eyes, that Poison Pill was a great horror.

They thought Qin Hao would choose the former, but who knew he’d smile and say, "Just like that? Why didn’t you say earlier? Then I choose to take the Poison Pill!"

Qin Hao’s smile made Iron Maiden frown.

Those familiar with her knew Iron Maiden always maintained a cold visage.

A change in expression meant anger.

"Someone, come!"

Under Iron Maiden’s command, a guard came over with a tray.

Iron Maiden looked at the five Poison Pills on the tray, "Are you sure about this? I can give you another chance..."

Before she could finish, Qin Hao reached out to grab the tray, then tipped the tray directly into his mouth.

Five invaluable Profound Tier Poison Pills entered Qin Hao’s mouth, and he chewed them down heartily.

"Gulp, gulp!"

After several swallows, Qin Hao wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and sighed, "I must say, they taste not bad."

At this, not only were the onlookers, but the three managers, including Iron Maiden, were all shocked.

They nearly popped their eyes out.

This extremely toxic elixir, you treated it as a snack? And you actually finished them all?
