After the short man finished speaking, he stopped and waited for everyone's reaction. Seeing that everyone agreed, he continued: "My brother bought the pearl powder two days ago. In two or three days, if he had done it himself, It is impossible to confuse the smells of shark pearl powder and sea pearl powder. But now, please look at——"
The short man's other hand was pointed like a sword, aiming at the pinch of pearl powder in his palm, his fingertips shimmering.
The pearl powder slowly floated into the air, surging rapidly, and gradually divided into two handfuls. One handful was still dazzling silvery white, while the other was darker in color, with a beige color, more milky white.
"This is the sea pearl powder mixed in. The spiritual power of the sea pearl powder and the shark pearl powder are exactly the same. Anyone who has any doubts can come and test it in person."
The short man held up two pinches of pearl powder and showed it to the crowd around him.
A few people stepped out from the crowd and carefully compared the two pinches of pearl powder with their spiritual consciousness to confirm that the spiritual aura on them was the same.
The short man turned to Jing Yingrong and said, "Miss Jing, do you dare to release your spiritual power and let everyone compare it?"
Jing Yingrong remained silent as a ball of light composed of diluted spiritual power gathered in front of him.
Everyone's eyes became subtle.
"It's really true."
"No way. This store has been open for many years and has always had a good reputation. How could you do such a thing?"
"Maybe the shopkeeper doesn't know people well and hired a thief."
"How could this happen? I like their pearl powder very much. Can I still buy it in the future?"
Wang Zhengde looked at the situation in front of him in disbelief.
"Xiao Jing, are you in any trouble? Has anyone threatened you to do such a thing?"
Jing Yingrong shook her head.
"Then what are you doing for?!" Wang Zhengde said sadly.
Jing Yingrong said calmly: "I didn't do it."
Wang Zhengde was stunned.
Jing Yingrong looked at the short man and asked, "Where did you learn the breathing technique?"
The short man was stunned for a moment, panic flashed in his eyes, and he said: "What breath-taking technique? I don't understand what you are talking about."
"The breathing technique created by Venerable Qianhuan is very rare in the world. Have you received the inheritance from his disciples and descendants?"
Jing Yingrong asked calmly, then stretched out a finger and pointed at the pinch of sea pearl powder.
"You're a poor learner."
As if a layer of mist was lifted, the spiritual energy on the sea pearl powder changed immediately.
There were exclamations in the crowd, and then most people turned their attention to the short man.
Jing Yingrong said: "This is your spiritual power."
The short man's expression suddenly changed, and he lost his voice: "Impossible! You——"
The tall man hurriedly pulled him hard to stop him from speaking, and then looked into the mirror and said, "How can I prove that it wasn't you who did anything just now?"
This time, before Jing Yingrong could answer, someone around him couldn't help but said: "If the spiritual power aura can be changed at will, then you can't prove that there is something wrong with the pearl powder."
"That's right. What kind of breathing technique is it? Have any of you heard of it?"
"I have some impression, but I heard that this technique has been lost long ago."
Jing Yingrong glanced at the tall man and said, "His imitation breathing technique was not used well enough, leaving traces of his spiritual consciousness."
The tall man suffocated and subconsciously looked at the short man. After seeing the ugly expression on the short man's face, his expression also became less good-looking.
At this time, Wang Zhengde also reacted and sneered: "I will ask the elders to come over and administer justice."
"No need!"
The tall man shouted suddenly. He looked left and right, and then looked at each other with the short man. The two of them moved and rushed into the crowd at the same time.
"Don't run!"
Wang Zhengde chased after him.
The crowd was thrown into chaos, and by the time Wang Zhengde squeezed out, the two people had already disappeared.
Wang Zhengde was so angry that he stamped his feet and wanted Jing Yingrong to accompany him to report to the sect. When he turned around, he realized that Jing Yingrong was also missing.
…
The two men slipped far away before they dared to stop and take a breath.
When the tall man saw that there was no one here, he started to complain: "Didn't you say that your magic can't be seen through even the Nascent Soul stage? How did that woman see through it?"
"How would I know!"
The short man said unhappily. After a moment of pause, he looked thoughtful and said, "Not only does she understand this technique and can see through it, but more importantly, she can actually break it."
The tall man said: "So what?"
The short man said: "It shows that this person is not simple. Zhao Kangwen probably kicked the iron plate this time."
Hearing this, the tall man became angry again and said with a groan: "I don't know what board Zhao Kangwen kicked. I only know that our spiritual stones are gone now."
The short man consoled him: "If the matter is not settled, it will be gone if it is gone. Have you taken that bottle of pearl powder?"
"Take it," the tall man patted the storage bag, "I'm not that stupid, I kept it for them to use as evidence."
The short man nodded: "Wang Zhengde may report it to the sect. Although there is no substantial evidence, the sect cannot do anything to us, but it is better to keep a low profile recently."
"How to keep a low profile?"
"Go hunt monsters and try not to run to the two big cities."
The two were discussing their next plan when a voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "If you can survive, we can talk about it later."
"who?!"
The two asked in unison, looking around at the same time, but found no one.
The short man suddenly felt something strange. He lowered his head and saw the raised patches of skin on his arms, as if there were snakes and insects swimming under the skin.
"what happened?!"
He was shocked, and the tall man next to him also had the same abnormality.
"What the hell!"
Waves of pain came over them. The two of them hurriedly looked inside and activated their spiritual power, and soon discovered the problem.
"Aura?! How come there is so much aura of heaven and earth in my body?!"
"Ahhhhhh it hurts me to death!"
They don't understand why the spiritual energy in their bodies is mixed with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth - just like the sea pearl powder mixed with shark pearl powder, which makes everything mess up.
Once the unrefined spiritual energy of heaven and earth pours into the human body in large quantities, if it is not refined in time, it will be like a flood that opens, sweeping away and destroying everything.
The two of them fell to the ground and writhed in pain, their exposed skin bulging strangely from time to time. As time went by, their bodies slowly swelled like leather bags filled with water, and dense blood beads oozed from their skin.
"Help……"
"Help me...someone help me..."
Their bodies swelled like the round-bellied jade vase containing pearl powder. They no longer had the extra energy to fight against the spiritual energy in their bodies, and could only send out weak calls for help.
Occasionally, pedestrians passed by and saw an ordinary empty street corner, so they walked away without squinting.
