Chapter 727 Demonstration

Alex looked at Zhou Guyang and sighed. "Look, I don't have time for your little games. Go back in line if you are really here for treatment or say what you have to say if you are not," Alex said.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" one of the others asked.

"Brother, he's rude, let's beat him up," another one suggested.

Zhou Guyang didn't show any other emotion in his eyes and remained neutral for the most part.

Still, he couldn't avoid the engagement that Alex had forced him into, so he answered, "Very well, I am here for the people."

Alex gave him a weird look and waited for him to continue.

"You are selling something fake and claiming that you've treated people," the man said. "You sent around fake testimonies to capture the heart of these poor and oblivious citizens that have barely saved up a little money."

"Do you not feel a shred of shame at that?" the man said. "Stop this farce at once or I will destroy it myself and take you to the Lightsworns."

The man puffed his chest and waited for the civilians in the line to get doubtful of Alex. That was when he would tell them to stop bothering with pastes.

"You say my treatments are fake?" Alex asked. "Very well, why don't I prove it to all of you."

Alex flicked his finger and a sword Qi flew straight at Zhou Guyang. A long, thin line of red appeared at the center of the man's forehead.

"Argh!" Guyang shouted and clutched his bleeding forehead.

At the same time, Alex grabbed him by the hair and pulled his hands away to show the line of blood on his forehead.

"Look," he shouted. "Normally, he would have to wait a week or so before it fully settled and healed. However, with my paste, he doesn't have to wait at all."

Alex brought out a jar and brought out a single scoop of his medicine and applied it across the man's forehead.

Even as they all watched, the bleeding on the man's forehead stopped and there was no scar remaining as well.

Gasps of surprise rang around the room, some originating from the alchemists too.

Once Alex was sure that his customers had seen it clearly, he let go of Guyang's hair and finally released his aura from around him.

Finally, the man could move.

"I know why you guys are here," Alex said. "You think that because I suddenly arrived, I have taken away your customers."

"And the answer is yes. Yes, I did take away your customers, but that is only because of how terrible the rest of you are at alchemy."

"Instead of looking to blame someone for your incompetence, go and try to improve. That way, you will get jobs regardless of what I do here," Alex said.

"Now leave! I don't have time to bother with any of you," Alex said.

Guyang was the first to leave. The fear of God that Alex had put on him by basically making him immobile and being in control of his life and death was basically enough to make him run away from the room.

After he left, the others soon followed suit, and soon peace returned back in the clinic.

Alex went back to treating the rest of the patients and returned around the evening after he was done.

Back at the palace, he decided to look for people to help him sell the medicinal pastes while he was treating people.

Unfortunately, it was late and everyone had retreated back to their room, so Alex was left with nobody to talk with.

So, he decided to wait for tomorrow.

'Sigh, I should have made some friends,' Alex thought and started cultivating.

The next day, he left the palace with Shurin and went to his clinic again.

The line at the clinic was already long, especially after the stunt he had pulled yesterday. Many people, including the ones in the True realms, had come this time and the clinic was becoming quite cramped.

'No way. Do I have to search for a new location just two weeks in?' he thought.

Alex called one of the patients and entered the room. He quickly cured the person and called another one in.

The next one was here to buy the medicinal paste for True realm cultivators.

"You can get this vial with 10 scoops for 50 True spirit stones, or this Jar with 50 scoops for 250 True spirit stones," Alex said.

"I will take the jar," the man said and bought the jar. Alex was giving him two options because he didn't want to sell more than a single piece of item each time.

If he was to sell multiple vials, people would start buying in droves. Instead, selling it in a single jar was much easier.

He treated the people for the rest of the day when late afternoon, Shurin called him again saying the man from yesterday was here.

Alex sighed and left the room after finishing treating the patient.

When he walked out, he saw Zhou Guyang from yesterday. However, next to him was another man wearing the same white robe with burnt edges, but there was an air of authority about him that the other man could not carry at all.

The man had long black hair and was about as tall as the other man. As for his cultivation base, he was one step away from entering the True Emperor realm.

'It's this guy,' Alex thought when he saw him.

The man in front of him was Zhou Ren. Zhou Ren was someone he saw back in the group of elites outside the House of the Undying when he was in the Demon Realm.

This was one of the more chatting fellows in the group. He remembered another man saying that he hated him.

Alex got a little solemn when he saw him. He did not want to go against one of the strongest younger generation members, that too someone from one of the big families.

Alex was sure the princess or the Emperor could intervene on his behalf if this argument went anywhere physical, but he had hurt Guyang yesterday, so he wasn't sure if they were considered to have already crossed it.

"That's him," Guyang pointed to Alex.

Zhou Ren nodded and walked toward Alex. "Yu Ming's Medicinal Clinic, it says outside. Is brother's name Yu Ming?" the man asked.

"Yes," Alex said.

"Greetings, brother Yu," Zhou Ren cupped his hands. "I am Zhou Ren."

Alex felt a little uncomfortable, but he cupped his hands and greeted back. "Why is brother Zhou here?" Alex asked.

"My little brother here says you beat him yesterday and made a joke out of him. Is that true?" Zhou Ren asked.

"I am afraid he did try to ruin my business. Also, all I did was give him a minor cut on his forehead which I healed immediately," Alex said. "Are you perhaps here to take revenge for your brother?"

Zhou Ren chuckled. "Haha, no," he said. "Instead I'm here to apologize on my brother's behalf and thank you for giving him a lesson he desperately needed.

"Huh?"
