Although they learned that the Yuan Healing Pills were limited, it did not dampen the enthusiasm in everyone’s hearts.
In fact, the scarcer they were, the more precious the Pills became, and naturally, the higher the price!
There was no shortage of wealthy people here, especially those that fought often. If they could get one Yuan Healing Pill, it often meant having an extra life.
“I’m very sorry, but our Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce can only provide three Yuan Healing Pills each month.” Qin Yichen stated.
The most important thing in concocting Composite Pills was… the essence of Withered Frost Grass.
For one Composite Pill, even a First Grade Pill, it required at least one kilogram of Withered Frost Grass.
Yes, it was measured in kilograms.
Withered Frost Grass, as the name suggests, withered and frosted, like grass that wilted after frost. It was difficult to extract even a bit of essence from each strand. Hence, it had to be measured in kilograms.
Moreover, the extraction process was very troublesome. If the purity was not enough, it was very easy to fail in concocting Composite Pills. This made it impossible for Qin Yichen to pass this difficult task to others, even if he wanted to.
A First Grade Composite Pill already required the terrifying amount of one kilogram, and Second Grade Pills increased exponentially… and so on.
This was the main reason why Withered Frost Grass quickly became extinct in later generations.
“Three Pills, that many?” Master Gu Ye was surprised. Although he could not discern how many types of medicinal herbs were in the Yuan Healing Pill, it definitely was not less than a hundred types.
For such a complex Pill, being able to concoct three in a month was already quite difficult. For any Pill with more than a hundred types of medicinal herbs, even for him, concocting one per month would be the limit.
After all, the more medicinal herbs, the more troublesome it was to fuse them. One small mistake would lead to failure, all efforts wasted.
Yet Qin Yichen could concoct three, this naturally took Gu Ye by surprise.
However, if he knew that Qin Yichen was too lazy to concoct and spent most of his time on Martial Arts cultivation, who knows what he would think?
Because this was just the simplest Composite Pill of fusing two effects. Qin Yichen had not even brought out Higher Grade Composite Pills yet.
This was the transformation brought by Withered Frost Grass. It was the pivot of the Pill industrial revolution!
Similarly, the use of Withered Frost Grass essence was not limited to just this.
“That’s not too bad…” Many merchants secretly wiped away their sweat. If these Yuan Healing Pills could be mass-produced, there would be no market for Healing Pills and Yuan Recovery Pills.
These two types of Pills were the most basic, practical, and widely used Pills.
“Don’t be disheartened, everyone. Next, let me introduce the second new medicine… the Qi Bursting Pill.” With the Yuan Healing Pill as a premise, when the second medicine was introduced, everyone waited for Qin Yichen to explain its effects.
“Actually, my Qi Bursting Pill is somewhat similar to the Berserk Pill. It can make people burst out with multiple times their strength, but the duration can last for five minutes!” After Qin Yichen finished speaking, there was not as passionate of a reaction as with the Yuan Healing Pill. Only some mercenaries, who spent years risking their lives outside, asked one or two questions. It made interest in this news seem sparse.
The reason, naturally, was the fear of side effects.
Things like the Berserk Pill, although they could temporarily increase one’s cultivation and strength, after use, the person was basically cripples. Unless absolutely necessary, no one would use it. Therefore, Pills like the Berserk Pill were classified as prohibited drugs.
However, they did not understand why Qin Yichen would bring out such a Pill for sale.
“Everyone, please don’t misunderstand. I said the effect is similar to the Berserk Pill, but the Qi Bursting Pill doesn’t cause much harm to the body. After use, at most, you’d need to rest in bed for a month or two…” Qin Yichen naturally knew what they were worried about and explained clearly, “The Qi Bursting Pill only consumes one’s own Yuan Energy. Generally, the more vigorous one’s Yuan Energy, the higher the burst of power after taking it!”
“Just consuming one’s own Yuan Energy and we can burst out multiple times our power, and this can last for five minutes!?”
At this point, everyone was shocked again.
Indeed, the new medicine this guy introduced was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
After Qin Yichen’s explanation, almost everyone understood the value of the Qi Bursting Pill. In their hearts, the value of this Qi Bursting Pill was definitely not much lower than the Yuan Healing Pill. After all, different effects meant different uses.
The Yuan Healing Pill could save a life at the brink of death, while the Qi Bursting Pill could help achieve victory and counterattack when facing strong enemies.
If one could keep both these Pills on hand… Just thinking about it was a beautiful scene.
“Ten Qi Bursting Pills will be sold each month.”
Qin Yichen continued to introduce several new Pills with various uses, directly raising the atmosphere to a peak.
Without a doubt, he was the biggest winner today.
The Abundance Group and Flower Union were destined for a tragic end.
After introducing several new medicines, Qin Yichen led Master Gu Ye and Zhou Tianwei into the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, leaving the outside to Shu Ruyan to handle.
Actually, the reason he limited the quantity of these Pills to be extremely low was that he did not want the four Major Families to feel threatened by him. Otherwise, attracting the covetousness of the four Major Families was not a good thing for him right now.
Although Master Gu Ye’s status was high and his influence strong, the foundation of the four Major Families was something even the Royal Family had to be wary of.
“Young Friend Qin has truly opened my eyes today.” Upon entering the hall and sitting down, Master Gu Ye sighed with emotion.
Composite Pills, this new term was something he would remember for life. Unlike the others, he remembered clearly that Qin Yichen had said the Yuan Healing Pill was just one type of Composite Pill.
In other words, what Qin Yichen Mastered was not merely the Yuan Healing Pill!
“I’ve made a fool of myself in front of Master and Young Master Zhou.” At this moment, Qin Yichen appeared very humble. His shy appearance made Zhou Tianwei unable to help herself from rolling her eyes.
However, in her heart, she was muttering, [No wonder he was so confident when facing me.]
“May I ask who Young Friend’s Master is?” Master Gu Ye asked very cautiously.
Qin Yichen glanced at Zhou Tianwei beside him with a strange expression, then once again used the same explanation he had given Zhou Tianwei before, “My Master said I was too foolish, and before I gained his approval, he told me not to consider myself his disciple…”
“Uh…” Master Gu Ye’s reaction was not much different from Zhou Tianwei’s at that time. His old face immediately turned red and hot.
He had been proud of his own achievements, but this youth in front of him, except for having lower cultivation, was stronger than him in every aspect.
How old was Qin Yichen!? He was not even twenty yet!
“Your Master is indeed an unparalleled expert…” Finally, Master Gu Ye sighed with emotion.
The disciple was already so extraordinary, so what level had his Master already reached?
Master Gu Ye did not even dare to imagine further.
