January 17, 2020 · 5 min read · 1,056 words

Over at the , the high-ranking figures wore expressions of smug satisfaction. They had long anticipated the explosive effect that the release of this "Dragon- Transformation Pill" would have.

As the saying goes, "the poor study literature, the rich pursue martial arts." Martial cultivators were the most willing to spend money. If you didn't have money, you'd best not choose the path of martial cultivation.

And healing elixirs were the field where martial artists were most willing to spend. After all, a good healing elixir often meant the guarantee of one's life!

The had seized precisely this point, recognized the market opportunity, and chosen the right breakthrough. As long as they crushed the Medicinal King Hall in this field, given time, it wasn't impossible to replace their status.

After all, the already had a significant advantage in the fields of restoring vitality and gathering qi, as well as calming the mind and clearing heat.

Now, with three fields attacked simultaneously, if the achieved a leading position in all three, it would absolutely be a terrifying challenge to the Medicinal King Hall!

Director Wang said, "Honored guests, next, we will place six 'Dragon- Transformation Pills' on display stands before you. Please queue up in front of each stand and observe them in turn. As the saying goes, hearing is not believing, but seeing is believing. Whether this Dragon- Transformation Pill truly possesses such miraculous effects, and whether I have engaged in any exaggeration, you can judge for yourselves. After your examination, we will bring in 'Pill-Tasting Warriors' to conduct a live trial."

The so-called "Pill-Tasting Warriors" were a high-risk profession. They were typically low-level martial artists who saw no hope on the martial path but wanted to earn quick money. Before any new elixir was released, they would test it with their own bodies.

Any elixir, before undergoing widespread market validation, carried risks.

And Pill-Tasting Warriors existed to personally test elixirs and risk their own bodies before consumers developed sufficient trust.

This was a high-risk, but also high-reward profession.

After all, if the elixir had problems or side effects, the first to suffer would be the Pill-Tasting Warrior.

The guests present all rose and walked towards the display stands. Everyone wanted to be first in line to see for themselves.

Fortunately, there were six stands in total, forming six queues, so the wait wouldn't be too long.

After about half an hour, almost all the guests had finished their inspection.

"Tsk tsk, just smelling the aroma of this Dragon- Transformation Pill tells you it's extraordinary. The healing elixirs currently on the market, compared to this, are indeed all rubbish!"

"I wonder how much this Dragon- Transformation Pill will cost per pill? I plan to stock up on a few dozen first; maybe the price will skyrocket later!"

"This Dragon- Transformation Pill is sure to become the most sought-after healing elixir in the Royal Capital from now on."

"Hmm, other similar products, when compared to it, truly have no competitive edge. We martial artists might cut corners anywhere else, but we will never cut corners on healing elixirs."

"That's the truth. We're not afraid of the price, only afraid it's not good enough!"

Director Wang was now beaming with joy, his heart smiling. He had also been listening intently to the discussions of the guests around him. Their comments were almost unanimously positive. Apart from a few concerned about whether they could afford the price, almost all were full of praise.

What did this mean? It meant that before the Pill-Tasting Warriors even tested it, this "Dragon- Transformation Pill" had already gained widespread approval.

It was almost predictable that once this Dragon- Transformation Pill hit the market, it would trigger a buying frenzy and sell like hotcakes!

"Grand Director, I've listened in, and everyone is full of praise for this pill. It seems the effect is even better than we anticipated!"

"Hehe, I just took a look over at the Medicinal King Hall. That Second Hall Master Yue Qun's old face is almost green with rage. This time, I want to see what face the Medicinal King Hall has left to compete with us!"

The high-ranking figures of the were all extremely excited. They felt a great sense of vindication. Being able to trample a colossal opponent beneath their feet naturally filled them with immense excitement.

Director Wang remained relatively calm, saying, "Prepare to bring out the Pill-Tasting Warriors. When launching any new pill, it's necessary for Pill-Tasting Warriors to test it first. This way, we can dispel the last worries and concerns in the market."

This step could not be skipped.

The Pill-Tasting Warriors were brought out. There were four of them in total.

The trial process for this Dragon- Transformation Pill was certainly going to be very cruel. The Pill-Tasting Warriors had to be injured first, then given the "Dragon- Transformation Pill" to demonstrate its efficacy on the spot!

All the guests' eyes focused on these Pill-Tasting Warriors.

At that very moment, from the Medicinal King Hall's side, a golden hammer struck a bronze gong with a sudden, loud crash.

The Third Hall Master of the Medicinal King Hall, , was already standing on the Medicinal King Hall's display platform, wearing a smile: "Everyone, it's rare to have so many distinguished guests present today, truly a gathering of noble friends. Taking this opportunity, our Medicinal King Hall is also preparing to launch a healing elixir of our own!"

"What?" The scene erupted in commotion.

The had released the Dragon- Transformation Pill, a healing elixir.

The Medicinal King Hall was now also about to launch a healing elixir? Was this an open challenge?

The side was somewhat surprised. Director Wang's expression turned ugly as he glared towards , cursing internally: "Is this deliberately causing trouble? What kind of healing elixir could their hastily prepared Medicinal King Hall produce to rival my Dragon- Transformation Pill? He's disrupting our rhythm, trying to affect the smooth launch of the Dragon- Transformation Pill."

In Director Wang's view, 's move was less about launching a pill and more about sabotaging the launch of the Dragon- Transformation Pill. To put it bluntly, this was jealousy and deliberate interference!
