The pill that
During the era of the Holy Empire, the Soul Gathering Pill was merely a low-grade pill. The Soul Nurturing Pill was a mid-grade pill, with effects ten times that of the Soul Gathering Pill. The Soul Condensing Pill was a high-grade pill, with effects a hundred times that of the Soul Gathering Pill. The Soul Tempering Pill was a top-grade pill, with effects a thousand times that of the Soul Gathering Pill—even Legendary Demon Spirit Masters would benefit greatly from consuming one.
As for the Red Flame Body Tempering Pill, a single pill was worth ten thousand gold coins. It could temper the body and dramatically enhance the innate talents of warriors. During the Holy Empire era, many warriors had been able to reach the Legendary Warrior realm thanks to the effects of the Red Flame Body Tempering Pill. But now, let alone Legendary Warriors, even Black Gold-level warriors were exceedingly rare.
As for the Nine Revolutions Pill, it was the stuff of legend. As long as you had a Nine Revolutions Pill, even if you sustained a fatal wound, consuming one could keep you clinging to life until you slowly recovered. It was a life-saving pill!
Every year, countless warriors and Demon Spirit Masters fought against Demon Beasts and faced the threat of death. With the Nine Revolutions Pill, who knew how many lives could be saved!
"Does your honored master truly possess the recipes for all five of these pills?" Gu Yan's voice was trembling. He understood what an immense significance these five pills would hold for the
"Of course. My master has traveled the entire Sacred Spirit Continent, possessing vast and profound knowledge. He only came to the City of Radiance a few years ago, but he doesn't wish to show himself, so I handle everything on his behalf! Of these five pills, the Soul Nurturing Pill can be refined by anyone at the Intermediate Alchemy Apprentice level or above. The Soul Condensing Pill requires an Advanced Alchemy Apprentice. As for the Soul Tempering Pill and the Red Flame Body Tempering Pill, they require a Junior Alchemist Master. And the Nine Revolutions Pill requires an Advanced Alchemist Master!" Nie Li said.
"Your honored master has traveled the entire Sacred Spirit Continent and only came to the City of Radiance a few years ago?" A chill ran through Gu Yan's heart. No wonder the City of Radiance had never heard of such a figure before. If someone like that could be kept permanently in the City of Radiance, it would be an immense asset!
"My master originally intended to donate the recipes for these five pills to the City of Radiance's Alchemist Association, but..." Nie Li paused briefly.
"But what?" Gu Yan grew anxious, unconsciously rubbing his hands together. He well understood how tremendous the significance of these five pills would be for the City of Radiance!
The City of Radiance's current situation was far from optimistic. The
Throughout the City of Radiance's history, there had been several occasions where it had nearly been destroyed!
And Lord Ye Mo, after all, was gradually aging, and no new Legendary Demon Spirit Master had been born.
"My master, the old gentleman, wishes to continue researching the art of alchemy. That requires enormous resources and a great many Demon Spirit Coins, so these five pills cannot be given to the Alchemist Association for free. In the future, my master will take thirty percent of the revenue from the sale of these five pills. I wonder if President Gu Yan has any objections? Even if my master takes thirty percent, the Alchemist Association would still retain at least over thirty percent in profit," Nie Li said. The profit margins in pill refining were enormous—sixty percent profit was considered modest, with some pills even yielding profit margins of over ninety percent.
"Of course that's reasonable!" Gu Yan hastened to reply. "Our Alchemist Association is willing to hand over fifty percent of the profits to your honored master!"
He was joking, wasn't he? These five pills were all lost recipes. Once they were refined and brought to auction, nearly every single pill would sell for an astronomical price, and the profits would be staggering. Even at fifty percent, they would still be making plenty of money.
If they truly managed to refine the Soul Tempering Pill, the Red Flame Body Tempering Pill, and the Nine Revolutions Pill, even Legendary Demon Spirit Master Lord Ye Mo himself would probably come to buy pills from them, let alone those top-tier aristocratic families and wealthy clans! The fortunes possessed by those super-families were absolutely beyond what ordinary people could imagine!
Nie Li smiled faintly. "My master says thirty percent is sufficient. If President Gu Yan is willing, he can take some of that money to support the common children who wish to study the art of alchemy!"
Upon hearing Nie Li's words, Gu Yan's expression shifted, and a look of deep respect appeared on his face. "Your honored master is a venerable elder of the highest standing. Please rest assured, esteemed sir—leave this matter to me. Supporting them in alchemy will also expand the influence of the Alchemist Association!"
Gu Yan had long wanted to strengthen the Alchemist Association's influence and reverse its increasingly declining state, but unfortunately, he had never had sufficient manpower or funding. If they had these five pills from Nie Li, they would see tremendous profits in the near future and would finally have the means to accomplish this!
"As for the sales process, your honored master may send people to supervise. If there is anything unsatisfactory, we will rectify it immediately!" Gu Yan said. It was only natural for them to feel uneasy about being entrusted with such a large business.
"All of this will be handled entirely by President Gu Yan and Overseer
"Of course!" Gu Yan nodded quickly. An Alchemy Grandmaster had entrusted this business to them—how could they not pour their heart and soul into it? That Grandmaster surely possessed far more than just these few pill recipes!
