Suzi's Warm-heartedness

"Compensate? I'll play with you today," Su Qi angrily rushed to the man's face. If he were to enter the small dark room, he wouldn't be afraid! How could he let go of this grudge? How could he justify his heroic actions today?

"You, a little child, I won't argue with you. Since your parents are here, I'll discuss this matter with them!"

The man looked imposingly at Su Qi and glanced briefly at Su Zimo.

"Today's matter is between me and you. It has nothing to do with my parents. I take responsibility for my own actions. If you want me to compensate you with silver, I suggest you close down your pill shop and go home to enjoy your own products."

Su Qi looked around at the people and a sly glint flashed in his cunning eyes.

He turned back and looked at Mu Yunxuan and Su Zimo. "Father, Mother, I will handle today's matter myself."

Both Mu Yunxuan and Su Zimo remained silent, tacitly accepting Su Qi's decision.

Gu Yuwei looked at Mu Yunxuan and Su Zimo and sarcastically remarked, "Quite gutsy for such a young age, huh?"

"Hmph! Stop babbling. Let's first talk about your sale of fake pills!" Su Qi's face darkened. If he wanted to move forward, he couldn't fear pain. If he feared loss, he wouldn't be Su Qi.

As soon as the topic of fake pills was mentioned, Gu Yuwei's face instantly turned gloomy.

"You've ruined millions of taels of my business and now you want to tarnish my reputation," Gu Yuwei's tone was full of anger.

Looking at his posture, he was almost unable to resist the urge to beat Su Qi.

"You're right. Not only do I want to ruin your reputation, but I also want you to close down for good. Today, I'll show you what a real alchemist is."

Su Qi walked to the counter and picked up a pill that Gu Yuwei had just tried to sell.

"You claim this is a Profound Rank Level Six Healing Pill?"

"Yes," Gu Yuwei confidently replied. He didn't believe a five-year-old child could see through anything.

Su Qi turned around and gave Su Li a signal. Su Li nodded.

Su Zimo took a quick look and glanced back at his older brother. He saw his figure disappear in an instant.

Su Zimo frowned. What were these two brothers up to?

"It seems you are quite confident in your pill. But this is not a Profound Rank Level Six Healing Pill at all. It's a Profound Rank Level One Healing Pill. You just took it out of the furnace half an hour early. The milky white color indeed matches that of a Profound Rank Level Six Healing Pill, but it has no effect on healing wounds. Moreover, you added Money Spirit Grass to the pill. While it may have some effect when consumed by a minor injury, if used on a severe wound, it increases the chances of mistreatment and even death. Money Spirit Grass does have a healing effect on wounds, similar to that of a Profound Rank Level Six Healing Pill, but it has significant side effects. Mild cases can lead to bed rest for half a year, while severe cases can cause edema and loss of bladder and bowel control."

Su Qi spoke each word with utmost seriousness.

The people around were stunned by his words. Money Spirit Grass was a banned substance in the Li Xia Empire. Not only did it have a numbing effect, but it was also addictive. Of course, Su Qi was unaware of this fact as he had just arrived in the Li Xia Empire. But as someone skilled in medical arts, Su Qi knew that Money Spirit Grass could be added in small quantities based on the patient's condition.

After listening, Gu Yuwei's eyes flashed with panic. How could this be possible? How could he see through it?

"Do you still want us to compensate you with silver now?" Su Qi asked calmly, his confident expression never wavered. Now that he had encountered it, there was no escape. His focus on the purity of pills was unprecedented. Good pills not only saved lives but also alleviated pain and ailments.

"Oh! No wonder my old man's wound improved a lot after taking this Healing Pill, but he's always lying weakly on the bed. I came here today to buy another Healing Pill for my old man. If he recovers, someone from our family can go out to herd sheep, which will provide income for us to make a living. The expenses for this year are enough to buy two pills. Isn't this deceiving and harming people?"

An angry old lady wearing a red and white headscarf embroidered with orchids spoke up.

Others also began discussing the condition of their own patients.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuwei looked at the surrounding crowd who joined the commotion and felt both panicked and angry. He shouted in frustration, "Do you believe the words of a child? If you don't trust my pills, you don't have to buy them from my pill shop!"

"It's precisely because a five-year-old child can see through the problem that we don't believe you. You're selling a Profound Rank Level Six Healing Pill at one hundred taels of silver, but for us ordinary people, earning one or two hundred taels of silver in a year from herding sheep is already considered lucky."

"Yes! We work so hard all year long, and one pill is our source of livelihood for the entire year," everyone chimed in, expressing their frustration.

As the discussion continued, Gu Yuwei started to feel a bit overwhelmed and unsure of what to do. In the Li Xia Empire, alchemists were already scarce, and a Profound Rank Level Six alchemist was considered rare. Even within the Li Xia Empire's royal family, alchemists only reached the level of Profound Rank Level Nine.

"Hmph! Let me show you what a Profound Rank Level Six Healing Pill really looks like," Su Qi said confidently.

He took out a milky white Profound Rank Level Six Healing Pill from his spatial ring. As soon as he revealed it, a refreshing fragrance filled the air, distinguishing Su Qi's pill from Gu Yuwei's. It was visibly purer and more transparent.

Furthermore, Gu Yuwei's Healing Pill didn't emit any scent at all.

"Do you see it now? This is the difference between real and fake. In the Haoyue Kingdom, a Profound Rank Level Six Healing Pill only costs eighty taels of silver. It has a high purity and potency, providing immediate effects. Whether it's a scratch from a demonic beast, a sword wound, a knife wound, or even a mild poisoning, if you take this pill, within the time it takes for half a stick of incense to burn, as long as the injury isn't too deep, the wound will quickly scab over. That's the effect a Profound Rank Level Six Healing Pill should have," Su Qi explained confidently.

Su Zi Mo watched her little son become the most dazzling figure among the crowd. As a mother, she felt a sense of pride. Perhaps she had been overly worried. Qi'er and Li'er's abilities were even better than she had imagined. However, as a mother, even with trust, she couldn't help but worry, especially considering the recent events. She was always sensitive.

Mu Yunxuan looked at his son with admiration. Regardless of his own abilities, the fact that his five-year-old son had the courage to defend himself against injustice was already remarkable.

Su Qingjue smiled as she watched Su Qi. This was Qi'er, who refused to be outdone. He always had a countermove. Moreover, the pills sold in the Da Dan Medicine Shop were not genuine healing pills. However, at the moment, Su Qingjue couldn't figure out why Li'er had disappeared. She didn't know what the two brothers were planning.

"Who exactly are you?" Gu Yuwei raised an eyebrow, clearly starting to doubt Su Qi's identity. How could a child who appeared to be five or six years old know so much?

"Hmph! Let me tell you who I am!" Su Qi's cunning little face beamed with pride. "My name is..."

"Qi'er," Su Zi Mo quickly interrupted, knowing that her son was about to show off, and she couldn't allow it.

Su Qi quickly stuck out his tongue. He knew that his mother would stop him from revealing his identity. But now he had better behave and listen, or else he would be in trouble later.

"You seem to be quite knowledgeable, young master. You must be an alchemist as well. The old man in my family is the pillar of our family. He has been bedridden for over a month now, and I can't sleep at night worrying about him. Could you sell me the Profound Rank Level Six Healing Pill you have in your hand, young master?" pleaded the old lady who had just spoken. She really needed that healing pill.

Upon hearing this, Su Qi furrowed his brow, glancing at Gu Yuwei before turning to the old lady.

"Auntie, didn't you say this silver is your family's annual expenses? If you give away these one hundred taels of silver, how will you manage your future? Qi'er has always treated the poor without asking for money. I'll give you this Profound Rank Level Six Healing Pill, Auntie!"

The old lady was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe such good fortune existed in the world, where a valuable item worth one hundred taels of silver was given away without hesitation.

"Auntie, you can take the pill and go back. Qi'er still has some things to take care of," Su Qi said as he packed the pill into a pill box and handed it to the old lady.

"Ah, thank you so much, young master!" The old lady held the pill, safely tucked away the silver, and thanked Su Qi tearfully before leaving.

Su Qi's act of kindness earned him appreciative glances from the people around him.

"Are you done causing trouble?" Gu Yuwei roared angrily. Not only did this brat ruin his business, but he also tarnished his reputation. How could he continue to survive in the Li Xia Empire after this?

"Whether trouble is caused by me or not is up to me, but it was you who sold fake pills in the first place. You shamelessly demanded one hundred thousand taels of silver from me. You might as well become a robber if you want to make more than one hundred thousand taels of silver," Su Qi retorted with a dark expression.

His small stature exuded an imposing aura, making people not only not dislike him but also feel that he had a sense of justice.

At that moment, Su Li also returned to the original spot and gave Su Qi a meaningful look.

Su Qi nodded, hoping that his brother would resolve the matter so that their mother wouldn't make him go to the little black room.
