I was hiding from gods and demons at the beginning, but it turned out that I was the boss

When Qingtian heard the word "potion", a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

This medicine was once very popular in Lanze and was initially called a "miracle medicine".

After taking it, it is not only effective for practitioners, but can also enhance the mental and physical strength of ordinary people. The effect can last for one or two days and there are no side effects.

Therefore, it has been welcomed by the public as soon as it came out. People who do hard work like it, people who want to have fun like it, and practitioners like it even more.

In just less than a year, people who regularly took this drug began to develop some problems. Their temperaments became violent and cruel, causing many vicious incidents.

After that, more and more voices of condemnation came out, and the "miracle medicine" was jokingly called a "magic potion". Finally, the royal family spoke out and no longer allowed its public production and sale.

I didn't expect that this medicine has been renamed and upgraded secretly and is still selling well...

Qingtian sighed in his heart, and sneered with disdain on his face: "So it's a magic potion, doesn't this thing have serious side effects?"

The bald store manager hurriedly explained, "That was in the past. This medicine has long been improved. Now one pill of the new medicine lasts about a week, and the effect is mild and long-lasting. No more than five pills a month will have no side effects."

"What about long-term use?" Qingtian asked.

The store manager replied, "Take it for three months, then stop for three months, and you'll be fine."

Next to him, Pokjie looked a little dazed, and a man with long purple-blue hair flashed through his mind.

The man smiled at him, opened his mouth and said something, and waved his hand, causing pills to fly in the air...

Seeing Qingtian's interest in trying harder, the store manager smiled and said, "Today's new medicine not only has no side effects, but its efficacy is twice as good as before."

Qingtian pretended to be hesitant and thought for a while, then decided to buy a box.

This thing can be used as evidence, and it was produced in a fractured canyon, so it is worth preserving and studying.

But after hearing the store manager's quotation, her face fell.

A box of twelve Big Cyclone pills costs six gold coins?!

Isn't this just robbing money?

She remembered that potions only needed one silver coin to buy one, but now the price has increased fifty times...

Seeing that Qingtian was obviously in pain, the store manager pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I really didn't overcharge you with this price. The output of the improved medicine is small. This is a high-end product from Da Tornado, which is even less. In addition, selling this thing is very risky, and I am also risking my life to serve the public."

Ugh, shit service!

Selling this harmful thing, and acting so noble. If it really had no side effects, the Empire would have lifted the ban long ago.

Qingtian resisted the urge to scold the other party and sneered, "I think your sense of service could be better."

The shop owner rolled his eyes and sighed, "Since you really want it, I'll take a 10% discount."

Qingtian took out the gold coins without answering and tossed them in his hand, "Four gold coins!"

"..."

After getting the potion, Qingtian and the other person left the shop.

As she walked, she played with a pea-sized potion in her hand, "Scar, does this new drug really have no side effects now?"

Pokjie, who had been distracted, came back to his senses after hearing the voice, turned his eyes to the pill, and replied after a few seconds: "It's not a big problem if used properly."

Qingtian frowned, with a look of disbelief on his face, "How is it appropriate? Can stopping for three months really eliminate the negative effects?"

Pokjie looked at her with complicated eyes, pursed his lips and said, "Basically."

Qingtian said "oh" and stopped asking questions.

Afterwards, the two walked towards the Sanlingdan store opened in the underground city.

They were about to reach the specialty store when a round, fat, gray-haired head suddenly popped out of a small shop next door and greeted them in a low voice.

"You two are here to buy Sanling Pills, right? Would you like to see the top-grade Sanling Pills I have? They are not even sold in the Dungeon Store!"

Qingtian paused and looked at the man with a raised eyebrow, "Doesn't the Sanling Pill come from the underground city? Could it be that a new force has developed a new drug?"

The plump shop owner narrowed his eyes and smiled slyly: "I can't explain this clearly. I bought this medicine from outside. Other shops don't sell it. The key is that the effect is amazing!"

"How amazing is it?" Qingtian became interested and turned to walk into the shop.

Pokjie, who was behind him, frowned and followed him into the shop.

When the shop owner saw the two people come in, he knew something was going to happen, so he carefully took out a small box from the drawer of his counter.

"I only got a small packet of this medicine, but it's much more effective than the highest-level Sanling Pill on the market. One pill lasts for about ten days, and even high-level practitioners above Tianba will surrender after taking it..."

The fat shop owner carefully opened the box while introducing the products. Inside lay six semi-fixed transparent pills encased in intestinal membranes.

Qingtian and Pokjie looked over curiously.

At just one glance, Qingtian frowned. This medicine inexplicably gave her a terrifying feeling of danger.

Pokjie's pupils dilated instantly, and scenes popped up in his mind...

The purple-blue haired man smiled and handed over a box of medicine;

The hand with the jeweled ring sprinkled the pills with pink powder;

The woman's eyes red with hatred, the passion in the dark alley at night;

The woman slapped her hands, feeling the medicine sliding down her throat;

The blood red that spread before my eyes...

In an instant, Pokjie trembled all over, leaned forward and covered his mouth, and a feeling of nausea swept through his body.

At the same time, Qingtian took a half step back and looked at him with a cold and questioning look.

Pokjie closed his eyes tightly, the veins on his hand covering his face bulged, and his other hand pressed hard on his stomach, as if he wanted to vomit out the contents of his stomach...

"Are you feeling stomach upset? Or dizzy?" Qingtian asked.

Bokjie hung his head, and the cold white skin of his ears turned red as he trembled. After calming down for a while, he spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, squeezing out two words from between his teeth, "My stomach hurts."

Qingtian stared at him sharply and said calmly, "Do you need to rest?"

Pokjie lowered his hands and slowly raised his face. His bloodshot eyes showed a gentle expression. "It's just a small matter. It's over."

"Young people should take care of themselves. You are sweating." The shopkeeper handed over a tissue in time. "Would you like a cup of hot water to soothe yourself?"

"Have a drink, I'll sit over there for a while." Bokjie followed the owner's instructions and pointed to the meeting sofa in the corner of the store.

"Okay, you take a rest." The owner said and poured Pokjie a glass of water.

Qingtian leaned on the counter and watched Pokjie leaning on the sofa with his eyes lowered, holding the cup. The hot steam rising from the water covered his eyes with a layer of mist.

"Sir? This medicine..." The owner returned to the counter and drew Qingtian's attention back.

"This medicine is so effective, how come it hasn't appeared on the market before? You might be exaggerating." Qingtian said casually, fiddling with the medicine box with his fingers.

When the shop owner heard this, he leaned close to her and whispered, "To be honest, the origin of this medicine is indeed unclear, but I dare to guarantee its effectiveness."

Sunny raised an eyebrow, guessing that someone must have tried it.

"Tell me, how much is one pill?"

Pokjie, who was sitting on the sofa, looked up at the sunny day and gave a cold smile.
