When the formulas for the Soul Nourishing Pill and the Soul Condensing Pill were announced, the entire Alchemist Association was thrown into an uproar.
These pill formulas, lost since the era of the Holy Empire, had finally resurfaced!
The few elders who had previously been dissatisfied with Overseer Yang for purchasing large quantities of mediocre herbs immediately shut their mouths. Were they kidding? Among the dozens of herbs Overseer Yang had bought, seven were ingredients for the Soul Nourishing Pill and the Soul Condensing Pill. Just these two pills alone could earn the Alchemist Association an unimaginable fortune!
At the same time, they felt a bit puzzled. Overseer Yang had purchased dozens of types of herbs, but only seven could be used in these two pills. What were the remaining herbs for? Did it mean President Gu Yan was withholding some pill formulas and hadn't released them yet?
The Alchemist Association launched a massive pill refining campaign. Almost all alchemists of Intermediate Apprentice rank and above seized the time to refine these two pills.
The commotion at the Alchemist Association quickly spread throughout the entire
The long-lost Soul Nourishing Pill and Soul Condensing Pill, whose effects were tens or even hundreds of times stronger than the Soul Gathering Pill – this news sent shockwaves through the entire City of Radiance.
The Soul Gathering Pill, due to its weak efficacy and high price, was somewhat of a chicken rib. Many people were unwilling to spend a fortune on it. But the Soul Nourishing Pill and Soul Condensing Pill were different. The cost of their ingredients wasn't much higher than the Soul Gathering Pill's, yet their effects were vastly superior. The Alchemist Association had already let it slip that, due to the large expected production volume, the Soul Nourishing Pill would be priced at twice the Soul Gathering Pill, and the Soul Condensing Pill at twenty times. With effects tens or hundreds of times better but prices only double and twenty times, the Alchemist Association's move instantly caused a sensation.
Everyone was eagerly anticipating the large-scale sale of these two pills!
On this matter, Gu Yan's thinking was: although there was still room to raise the prices of these two pills, setting them too high would hinder large-scale promotion. A lower price could not only earn more money but also strengthen the City of Radiance's power to resist demon beast attacks, while simultaneously enhancing the Alchemist Association's influence. It was a move that killed multiple birds with one stone.
With the emergence of the Soul Nourishing Pill and Soul Condensing Pill, the Alchemist Association, which had previously fallen into neglect, instantly found itself at the forefront. Everyone wanted to get their hands on these two pills from the Association ahead of time, and their prices on the black market skyrocketed!
Before long, the
All members of the Alchemist Association worked overtime in large-scale production. Although the workload was much heavier than usual, they received compensation several or even dozens of times higher. None of them were refining the trash pill Soul Gathering Pill anymore! Everyone focused on refining the Soul Nourishing Pill and Soul Condensing Pill!
Some of the Soul Nourishing Pills and Soul Condensing Pills leaked out of the Alchemist Association. After some Demon Spirit Masters consumed and refined them, the effects were indeed remarkable. Many Demon Spirit Masters whose cultivation had stagnated suddenly experienced a significant surge in power. This made the people of the City of Radiance even more excited and expectant. Many noble families prepared to purchase these pills in bulk to cultivate the younger generation of their clans. In the future, these pills might create hundreds or even thousands of Demon Spirit Masters!
It was rumored that members of the
The two pills had already focused the attention of everyone in the City of Radiance squarely on the Alchemist Association. Just then, President Gu Yan suddenly released news that they would also refine three other types of pills. One was the Soul Tempering Pill, whose efficacy was ten times that of the Soul Condensing Pill and highly effective even for Black Gold Demon Spirit Masters and Legendary Demon Spirit Masters. Another was the Red Flame Body Tempering Pill, which could dramatically strengthen the physical body, greatly increasing the consumer's strength. There was also the Nine Revolutions Pill; even with a fatal injury, consuming it could hold one's life force.
Instantly, everyone in the City of Radiance was even more stunned. It was said that on the night the news was announced, the Legendary Demon Spirit Master
Even a Legendary Demon Spirit Master like Lord Ye Mo and the City Lord himself placed such importance on these three pills. Everyone couldn't help but develop a powerful anticipation for them.
Very soon, the Soul Nourishing Pill and Soul Condensing Pill began selling in the Alchemist Association's shops. The fervor of the crowds exceeded all expectations. Noble families, various commercial associations, and even smaller clans competed enthusiastically. In a single day, sales reached a staggering 600 million Demon Spirit Coins. On that day alone,
All the elders of the Alchemist Association were deeply shaken by this figure. Gu Yan's position within the Association became even more unassailable. In the past, Elder
The Alchemist Association's financial resources expanded to astonishing levels. They announced in the City of Radiance that they would recruit disciples on a large scale. In addition to waiving all tuition fees, those who reached the Intermediate Apprentice level could start refining pills to earn money. The Association's attractiveness immediately soared, and many commoner children who couldn't enter the Sheng Lan Academy flocked to join the Alchemist Association!
