After a fulfilling meal, more than ten people left Zhenxian Building, chatting and laughing as they headed for the Radiant Pill Store.
They were truly curious!
Spending ten million Spirit Stones to purchase such a small shop was not something the average person would do.
Since it was a Pill Shop, it didn’t matter the quality of the Elixirs for sale, it was harmless to take a look. If the Elixirs were of poor quality and overpriced, they could simply choose not to buy.
When these ten or so people filed into the shop, Jing Yan walked out from the back. At the front entrance, there was a warning Formation set up by Jing Yan, which alerted him the moment anyone entered.
"Welcome!" Jing Yan saw the group entering and greeted them with a smile.
He had also noticed the Martial Artist surnamed Lie; these people must have come over in direct relation to him.
While Jing Yan was greeting them, these people also sized up Jing Yan. They wanted to see what kind of person could spend ten million Spirit Stones to buy such a shop. According to Brother Lie, this person had casually produced a Spiritual Artifact.
"These are all my friends, they heard that the gentleman bought this shop to set up a Pill Shop and became curious, so they came over to see what kind of Elixirs they could buy," Brother Lie said to Jing Yan with a cupped-hand salute.
"Hehe, the Elixirs here are very good too. If you’re interested, feel free to look around. The prices are fair for all!" Jing Yan nodded with a smile.
"Alright, let’s take a look first. If the quality of the Elixirs is good and the prices aren’t too expensive, I might buy some," Brother Lie said as he walked over to the Elixir counter to take a closer look.
"High-level Elixirs?"
"There are High-level Elixirs for sale?"
Inside the counter, a vast array of Elixirs was displayed, including Low-level, Intermediate, and High-level ones.
Generally, Daoist Realm Martial Artists seldom used High-level Elixirs. Of course, High-level Elixirs weren’t easily available either. Even those large Pill Towers and commercial enterprises didn’t have many High-level Elixirs for sale.
In the city of Nishang Shen, the number of High-level Alchemists was also limited, making High-level Elixirs always in short supply.
To see High-level Elixirs inside such a shop was indeed enough to surprise anyone.
Upon hearing Brother Lie’s exclamation, everyone quickly stepped forward.
"Seventh-level Elixirs, Eighth-level Elixirs, and even Ninth-level Elixirs, this..."
"How is this possible?"
"Are these Elixirs real?"
The sight of the Jade Bottles displayed within the counter indeed gave a huge visual impact. Gazing at the names and grades marked in front of the Jade Bottles, they couldn’t help but hold their breath.
"Let’s look at the Intermediate Elixirs! Even if these High-level Elixirs are real, we can’t afford them," someone said with a shake of the head and a sigh.
High-level Elixirs were indeed beyond their means. Even for Seventh-level Elixirs, which commonly cost hundreds of thousands to over a million Spirit Stones each, they couldn’t afford many even if they pooled all their possessions.
"May I take out an Elixir to examine it?" Brother Lie asked Jing Yan.
"Of course, if you decide which one to buy, you can pick it up for examination," Jing Yan responded.
The Martial Artist surnamed Lie chose a Sixth-level Elixir and asked Jing Yan to hand over the Jade Bottle.
"This is a real Elixir!"
"No, wait!" Brother Lie initially exclaimed in surprise and then showed an astounded expression.
"The Elixir is wrong? Could it be a Fake Pill?" someone asked in a low voice.
"A Fake Pill? Of course not! It’s just, why is the quality of this Elixir even better than the First-class quality Elixirs I’ve seen before?" What puzzled the Martial Artist surnamed Lie was the grade of the Elixir, not whether it was genuine or not.
"My Elixirs here are all of Perfect Quality, naturally better than First-class quality," Jing Yan commented from the side.
The crowd was stunned again.
"Then, how many Spirit Stones does this Elixir cost?" the Martial Artist surnamed Lie asked after coming to his senses.
Perfect Quality Elixirs were extremely rare. Generally, they were only available at auctions. Faced with a chance to purchase Perfect Quality Elixirs, who wouldn’t be tempted, who wouldn’t want to buy some?
Even if the price of the Elixirs was very high, they would still try their best to buy some and stock up.
Jing Yan quoted a price.
This price, for the Perfect Quality Elixirs, was definitely not high; it was only slightly higher than the price of First-class quality Elixirs.
"I want to buy ten!" the Martial Artist surnamed Lie exclaimed excitedly.
After that, it was much simpler. Every Daoist Realm Martial Artist that entered the shop spent most of the Spirit Stones they had on them to buy various Perfect Quality Elixirs; they only wished they had more Spirit Stones to buy even more.
"In addition to Spirit Stones, you can also use Spiritual Grass and other resources for exchange," Jing Yan mentioned, not really interested in Spirit Stones himself. If he could get his hands on some rare High-level Spiritual Grass, that would be far better than these Spirit Stones.
He only took Spirit Stones now because he wanted to take the opportunity to expand his influence.
Hearing Jing Yan say this, everyone began searching their Sumeru Rings, taking out some resources they considered valuable for Jing Yan to assess.
Jing Yan assessed them according to the market price and did not intentionally press down the price.
After nearly an hour, everyone had exchanged all the resources they had, leaving almost nothing behind. Each individual left the Radiant Pill Shop with an excited expression.
As soon as they exited the shop’s door, they immediately bid each other farewell and separated.
Having just exchanged for Perfect Quality Elixirs, they were naturally eager to test the effects of the Elixirs. They were not completely reassured about this; what if these Elixirs, which appeared to be of Perfect Quality on the surface, were actually Fake Pills? This possibility existed, so they hurried to test the effects of the Elixirs.
The results of the tests, naturally, need not be discussed—the Elixirs they purchased were undoubtedly of Perfect Quality.
"Did you not know? Those Elixirs sold at the Radiant Pill Shop are all Perfect."
"High-level Elixirs? Of course, there are plenty, and yes, the High-level Elixirs are all of Perfect Quality as well."
"What? You don’t believe? Hehe, if you don’t believe, so be it."
The news spread quickly. At first, the Martial Artists who heard it naturally didn’t quite believe it was true. However, many were curious enough just to drop by the Radiant Pill Shop to see for themselves. After one visit, they realized that indeed, the Elixirs in the Radiant Pill Shop were all of Perfect Quality.
Moreover, the prices were not too high.
It spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to thousands.
In just less than half a month, the business at the Radiant Pill Shop was excessively good. The continual stream of Martial Artists coming to buy Elixirs and Jing Yan, too, started becoming busy. Although he had refined many Elixirs before, the stock rapidly decreased after days of transactions.
