He watched as the men's gazes shifted away, only to fall back on him. They were completely unfazed, their faces still etched with doubt.
"Actually…"
Lanshan sighed helplessly and explained what had happened.
"Oh!"
"So that's what happened…"
Understanding dawned on the crowd. Ma Bizi even picked up a dark, crescent-shaped Pill.
"Such a fine Pill, and once it passed through your hands, Lanshan, it ended up looking like this."
His words were laced with undisguised contempt.
The rest of them nodded in fervent agreement.
"No wonder this stuff wasn't put in pill vials."
"I bet Alchemist Bai considered them defective goods."
Lanshan sneered, his eyes sweeping over the ruffians.
"You think that's the reason?"
He grabbed the cloth bag and gave it a shake.
"Do you have any idea how many Spirit Stones this bag of Pills is worth?"
At his words, the crowd instantly fell silent.
Ma Bizi hesitated, a hopeful look in his eyes.
"You said the new Pills were cheap."
