　　Just as the Great Herb King was wondering how Physician Bai would deal with the three Vice Hall Masters and the numerous elders, he heard the other party's reply. At this moment, he could almost see the grim future which awaited him.

　　The Golden Poison Heart Token bore testimony to the ident.i.ty of the envoy, and it was natural that the other party would request to see it. There was no problem with their words at all.

　　Yet, to ask if they were qualified...

　　The old Hall Master had died, and the three Vice Hall Masters and the numerous elders were already the top leaders of the Poison Hall. If even they weren't qualified, who could be?

　　No matter how n.o.ble the position of an envoy is, there should be a limit to your arrogance. To act so haughtily... You will surely be beaten be death!

　　"Envoy must be pulling our legs!"

　　As the Great Herb King expected, Vice Hall Master's smiling face crumbled upon hearing Zhang Xuan's words. "I am the first Vice Hall Master of the Red Lotus Branch. Now that the Hall Master isn't around anymore, I have become the highest ranking person here, so naturally, I am qualified!"

　　"I already know that your Hall Master is dead, and the reason why I am here is to decide on the next Hall Master. Otherwise, why would I come to such a rundown place?"

　　"Before deciding on a new Hall Master, all of you have the same standing. If you think that you're qualified, don't tell just tell me with your mouths... prove it to me through your mastery and understanding of poison."

　　Zhang Xuan flung his sleeves, and he stared at the group authoritatively. "What our Poison Hall needs are capable poison masters, not a bunch of useless fools!"

　　"Mastery of poison?" Liao Xun was taken aback. "Envoy wishes to test us?"

　　"That's right. I have no time to squander on you, and I don't want to waste my breath. The value of a poison master should be determined by the poison they can create. You will all concoct a poison while I observe by the side, and whoever is able to concoct a poison that I've never seen before or speak of a theory I've never heard before, will be qualified to see the Golden Poison Heart Token and become the next Hall Master!"

　　Zhang Xuan glanced at the crowd with an indifferent gaze. "Otherwise, rather than handing over this branch to any useless fool, I might as well destroy it myself!"

　　"Yes..."

　　Upon hearing the straightforward words of the envoy, the group looked at each other with grim expressions.

　　In the past, as long as they served the envoys well, the envoys would satisfy their demands.

　　But from the looks of it, this method would not work on this envoy.

　　As soon as he reached, this envoy established his dominance, and declared that the top seat would be granted based on nothing else but capability!

　　And those who didn't possess the capability should stop spouting nonsense.

　　...

　　"As expected of the man who managed to remove the Poison Gu from me, incredible!"

　　Seeing how 'Physician Bai' resolved the crisis with a few words, the Great Herb King heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he felt completely impressed with the other party's ability.

　　This Physician Bai wasn't just capable in the Way of Medicine, he also possessed a precise understanding of the human heart.

　　Aware that the three Vice Hall Masters were vying for the seat of the Hall Master, he used it as a bait very conveniently.

　　They had already been fighting for the seat for a long time now, and none of them was willing to submit to anyone else. Now that there was a charter to resolve the conflict, they were determined to make use of this opportunity to surpa.s.s the other candidates.
