The Elder's lips twitched when he heard Fang Yu's words. "How is that possible?" He immediately frowned and he regretted the words that he just said. He eyed the people around them and cleared his throat.

He had already made a deal with Fang Ling'er so he was here for that deal and not to see this Fang Yu create something else. The Elder knew that this woman was a genius from the Eight Palms Sect. However, the Potioneering Guild had a lot of geniuses too. And not one of them was able to create an antidote of this unknown sickness.

He eyed the black potion in Fang Yu's hand. The woman finished this antidote in about one hour of brewing. Even compared to the geniuses in the Guild, this time was considered quite good. However, the effects of this potion… "Why is it black?" he couldn't help but asked as he nodded at Fang Ling'er, sending her a silent assurance that she already won. He then walked towards Fang Yu's table.

"Elder… it is not about the color, smell or taste." Fang Yu said, her voice was not loud but it was enough for the elder to hear. "It is about the effects."

"Elder Fang…" He let out a sigh. Seeing the resolute expression in the woman's eyes, Elder Xiao couldn't help but feel sorry for this woman. He was sure that Fang Yu never heard of this illness before or even saw the formula for the suppressing potion that they were able to make. There was no way that she would be able to make something that could cure the man in less than an hour.

"As you can see… the man's swelling has already vanished. It was because of Madam Fang Ling'er's potion. If we apply your potion now, we will have no way of knowing that it will suppress anything since the man already took Madam Fang's potion first."

"So you only have one person with this illness?" Raising an eyebrow, Fang Yu gave the Elder a chance to redeem himself.

"Yes. You are right. This unusual illness is only unique to this person."

Fang Yu's lips thinned. She eyed Fang Ling'er's smiling face. "Are you sure about this, Elder Xiao?"

"Of course! Are you trying to question the integrity of the guild?"

The corner of her lip raised into a smirk as she sent a voice transmission to the Elder in front of her. 'Do you really want to miss out on the chance to have the cure?'

Of course, the Elder only snorted in response. In his mind, there was no way that Fang Yu would be able to create a cure in the short span of time that she was brewing various ingredients. Wasn't this woman too arrogant? Elder Xiao immediately made a mental note to ask his superiors to stop selling herbs to the Eight Palms Sect because of Fang Yu's attitude.

"Well…" Fang Yu walked in front of the elder. Her white robe, swayed as she walked towards the cage. "Since the Elder already decided. Let me just do this…" She waved her hand and created a circular hole on the barrier that the Elder created. Seeing this, Fang Ling'er's and Elder's eyes widened in surprise. Why would Fang Yu do something without the permission of the Elder? Was she planning to make the whole Guild ban their Eight Palms Sect?

"You—"

Before the Elder could speak Fang Yu already sent a portion of the medicine towards the man's mouth.

The Elder walked towards Fang Yu.

*BAM* The Elder staggered when he hit a barrier that was surrounding the woman. He didn't even notice the barrier until his body hit it.

"Elder Fang! What do you mean by this? Are you trying to offend the guild?"

"Fang Yu!" Even Fang Ling'er was surprised to see Fang Yu act like this. "Do you want to involve the whole Eight Palm's Sect in your problems?" Of course, she was only acting and was forcing herself not to smile from Fang Yu's foolishness. As expected of Fang Yu's pride. She wouldn't be able to accept the loss and would rather die and accept that Fang Ling'er won against her.

The people surrounding them were also surprised as just like the elder, they didn't notice the barrier that surrounded Fang Yu. Had she become this powerful? What they didn't know was the fact that even Fang Yu was unaware that there was a barrier around her. She could only shake her head inwardly as she thought of Mo Li's abilities.

Just like everyone else, she didn't feel any Qi or elements around her. But she didn't have the time to even think about this. "Elder Xiao… just because you already gave the formula to my cousin Fang Ling'er, doesn't mean that she is automatically the winner of this competition." She said calmly before she completely removed the barrier in the cage, revealing the man's cries turned into silent sobs.

"He is no longer in pain. The pus will disappear in about an hour. His body will take at least a week to recover." Fang Yu stared at the Elder.

"You—" The Elder's eyes were so wide as his mouth turned agape. "How…" The cure that they created could only stop the person from dying while the potion that Fang Ling'er created could stop the swelling. Their potion was not enough to stop the pain or remove the stinky pus.

"Elder Xiao…" Fang Ling' er's eyes turned misty with fear as she looked at the man inside the cage. Just like what Fang Yu said, the man stopped screaming and was now lying calmly inside the cage. His eyes were closed but his breathing had calmed down. It looked as if the man had fallen asleep.

As if sensing her thoughts, Fang Yu said. "He is indeed sleeping. The pain and fatigue had taken its toll. This man is a cultivator and that is the only reason why he was able to endure the pain. A normal person won't be able to last a day once they get the disease. But you already knew that didn't you, Elder Xiao?"
