Master Liu returned very quickly.
Within a short while, he came back to the private room with the medicine liquid.
"Guest, your medicine liquid."
He handed the porcelain bottle to Luo Qingtong.
As soon as the porcelain bottle was in her hand, Luo Qingtong's eyebrows lifted.
"I apologize, guest. The medicinal effect you described does not match the actual effect. This bottle of medicine liquid is indeed Earth-grade top-grade, and it does have a certain repair effect on the meridians, but it's not as miraculous as you claimed. It also doesn't have much effect on the backlash from using Forbidden Techniques; it only serves to mitigate and prolong their effects to some extent."
Master Liu looked at Luo Qingtong with a face full of regret.
"I'm not sure where you obtained this medicine liquid recipe, but unfortunately, you seem to have been deceived! However, this bottle of Earth-grade top-grade medicine liquid is still quite valuable, so it's up to you to decide what to do with it."
Luo Qingtong looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile.
"Are you saying that I've been deceived? The medicine liquid I brought, and its actual effects do not match what I described?"
"Yes," Master Liu said seriously, "My appraisal is infallible! If you don't believe me, you are welcome to seek another alchemist for appraisal! However, I can guarantee that the result will be exactly the same!"
Of course, there wouldn't be any difference, for the medicine liquid inside had already been switched by him!
Without opening the porcelain bottle, Luo Qingtong knew that the medicine liquid inside had been completely altered.
The medicine liquid she refined had been swapped out, and what appeared inside the porcelain bottle was another type of Earth-grade top-grade medicine liquid!
It was precisely the kind of medicine liquid that this Earth-rank Alchemist had just mentioned!
Interesting!
Her possessions – someone actually dared to covet them!
On Luo Qingtong's face, a hint of a smile slowly emerged, obscured by the ferocious Rashamon Ghost Mask, so that no one could see the bloodthirsty bloom hidden behind it.
Alluringly wicked, like the captivating soul of a poppy.
"Since that's the case, I won't be needing this medicine liquid. Such rubbish, thinking it's worthy of me?"
Her words were laden with double meaning as she tossed away the porcelain bottle in her hand with nonchalance, in the midst of Master Liu's slightly changing expression.
"I'll just gift it to the Black Domain Auction House! Just make sure you catch it securely! Hope it fetches a good price!"
After all, it was purchased with someone's life!
Did they really think her possessions could be taken so easily?
Luo Qingtong gave Master Liu's hands a glance, the smile at the corner of her lips becoming even more rampant.
After discarding the medicine liquid, she left the Black Domain Auction House directly.
The housekeeper, who had been watching nearby, sensed that something was not right.
He picked up the porcelain bottle that Luo Qingtong had discarded, looked towards Master Liu, and frowned, "Master Liu, what is this all about? Does this guest's medicine liquid truly not match its claimed effects?"
As he spoke, his voice suddenly took on a sharp edge.
Anyone who had risen to the position of housekeeper in the auction house was shrewd, weren't they?
Luo Qingtong's unexpected behavior had instantly aroused his suspicions!
But he found it somewhat hard to believe.
Master Liu was an Earth-rank Alchemist! A man of high status, how could he have stooped to swapping medicine liquids?
Feeling the suspicion in the housekeeper's gaze, Master Liu was also extremely annoyed.
He had thought that Luo Qingtong would suffer the loss silently, or at least create a fuss with him.
He had ways to deal with both scenarios!
But her reaction was so unexpected!
To think that she would just throw away her own medicine liquid, calling it trash!
"How would I know what happened? What do you mean by questioning me like this? Are you doubting me?" he scoffed coldly, "As a dignified Earth-rank Alchemist, would I need to covet her medicine liquid? Ridiculous!"
With that, he left in a huff, leaving behind the housekeeper standing there, frowning deeply.
