At this moment, the entire hall was abnormally silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on that martial artist!
Only Ye Yuan yawned lazily and was unconcerned over this.
"Yuan-er, why do I feel like you aren't worried at all? If this Essence Converting Pill really has such an effect, it's greatly detrimental to us!" Ye Hang transmitted.
Although Ye Hang was very confident in his son, after hearing Wan Donghai's introduction, his heart was still somewhat drumming right now.
This was only the second type of medicinal pill. There's still the third type of medicinal pill which had not been released, and it had already spell bounded virtually all of the influences in the State of Qin.
This sort of situation was not something he hoped to see.
Even though he had the Explosive Yuan Pill in his hands, Wan Donghai had four types of medicinal pills over here! Even if he could monopolize the Explosive Yuan Pill market in the future, he would also hold an absolute inferior position in the aspect of True Qi Returning Pill and Essence Converting Pill.
Ye Yuan said smilingly, "Hur hur, don't need to worry, Father. Only these fellows who can't tell good from bad will take this sort of defect good to be a treasure."
"Defect good?" Ye Hang asked in surprise.
"En, this Essence Converting Pill indeed has the effects of raising cultivation realm. But its side-effect isn't small either. Wan Donghai taking this stuff out is seriously just scamming people!" Ye Yuan said.
"This Essence Converting Pill has side-effects?" This time, Ye Hang was even more surprised.
"That's right. After taking this Essence Converting Pill, the martial artist's meridians will suffer a certain degree of damage which will affect future cultivation speed. However, this sort of damage isn't obvious. Ordinary people can't detect it. But when it's time to impact the Spirit Condensation Realm, their success rate will lower tremendously. Instead, it would be much lower than martial artists who cultivate up normally!" Ye Yuan explained.
Ye Yuan once spent his lifetime to research Tier 3 and below medicinal pills, and among medicinal pills, those with the greatest number of varieties and most widely used was naturally first-order medicinal pills.
This Essence Converting Pill was basically something Ye Yuan left behind. He was naturally crystal clear on the medicinal effects of the Essence Converting Pill.
Chapter 196 - Unfurling the Map to Reveal the Dagger
"If that's the case, then isn't Wan Donghai cheating people? Also, this sort of side-effect, it will be discovered sooner or later, right?" Ye Hang asked with a frown.
"Uh, actually, this sort of side-effect isn't much to those noble family disciples. As long as they take some meridian recovery medicinal pills, it can completely be repaired. Or, taking medicinal pills which increases the success rate when impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm also works. As long as they break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, the martial artist's body functions will have a huge improvement. These hidden dangers will naturally also be cleared up then. After all, it's only a Tier 1 medicinal pill. A little side-effect isn't insurmountable." Ye Yuan explained.
When Ye Hang heard that, he said helplessly, "You said it so easily! External injuries are easy to treat, but internal injuries are hard to get rid of. It's not that there are no meridians recovering medicinal pills, but each one of them is worth a fortune! It's likely even above this Essence Converting Pill! Calculating this way, the loss outweighs the gain! As for medicinal pills which increases the success rate of impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm, although I know many alchemists wish to refine them, but up till now, I've never seen them before."
Ye Yuan gave a mysterious smile and said, "If I guess correctly, this third type of medicinal pill is probably something that increases the success rate of Spirit Condensation Realm! Heh heh, this Pill Hall planned really well!"
Ye Hang's face changed, and his gaze could not help shifting over to that not-yet unveiled jade tray.
If what Ye Yuan said was true, then this third kind of medicinal pill was going to be amazing!
Such a medicinal pill was sufficient to shake the foundation of the Imperial Family!
Putting aside all the martial artists under the heavens, just in the State of Qin, how many martial artists were stuck at the threshold of peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, unable to breakthrough?
One could imagine just what kind of demand it would face once this sort of medicinal pill was released!
Ye Hang himself knew that medicinal pills to assist in breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm definitely existed. It was just that in this sort of place like the State of Qin, it simply did not have the capability to issue this kind of medicinal pills.
However, Ye Hang also knew that Ye Yuan definitely knew the refinement method for this type of medicinal pills!
Ye Hang s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and said, "Yuan-er, it's all on you today!"
"Don't worry, Father! If I can't even get this done, then I would have wasted Master's laborious efforts!" Ye Yuan said perfectly composed and collected.
. . . . . .
Right at this time, an essence energy storm suddenly howled forth in the great hall. That martial artist testing the medicinal pill really broke through to the Eighth Level Essence Qi Realm!
Marveling exclamations sounded out in the great hall!
"Hur hur, everyone has also seen the medicinal effects. There's no need for me to add on, right? Now, let's introduce the third type of medicinal pill."
Wan Donghai did not give much of an introduction about the Essence Converting Pill. He believed that the scene just now already gave everyone enough shock.
He lifted the third jade tray and unveiled the red cloth to introduce. "This third type of medicinal pill is today's dénouement medicinal pill! This third type of medicinal pill is called Rising Spirit Pill! It can increase the success rate of impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm by 20%!"
"What? Increase the success rate of impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm by 20%? Is there a mistake?!"
"There . . . There's . . . actually such a miraculous medicinal pill?"
"Manor Lord Wan! How much is this Rising Spirit Pill! I want to buy ten!"
"Manor Lord Wan, I also want to purchase! The more, the better! Oh, right, and also the Essence Converting Pill and True Qi Returning Pill, I also want!"
Everybody could not sit tight anymore. These three new kinds of medicinal pills launched by the Drunken Star Manor today simply subverted the knowledge of all the people sitting here!
Even though many people sitting here were mentally prepared and knew that the new medicinal pills launched by the Drunken Star Manor today were not ordinary, they could not have imagined that it was so extraordinary!
These people all left their seats in succession, encircling Wan Donghai in the center, fighting to converse with Wan Donghai.
At this moment, nobody bothered with the Su Family and the Nanfeng Family contending for imperial authority. What they were concerned with was how to purchase the Drunken Star Manor's medicinal pills!
They all knew that the Drunken Star Manor absolutely would not provide this sort of medicinal pills endlessly!
With these three types of medicinal pills, what could the Nanfeng Family use to hold the hearts of these aristocrats?
Ye Yuan watched this scene and could not help sneering as he said, "Snatching so fervently for stuff weeded out by other people. A bunch of fellows who have not seen the world!"
His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but the surrounding few people heard it loud and clear.
Nanfeng Lou and Nanfeng Ruoqing were somewhat bewildered, but Yang Hao's and Su Yulin's facial expression totally changed!
"Ye Yuan, what's the meaning of what you just said? You say that these medicinal pills were developed by others?" Nanfeng Ruoqing asked curiously.
"Otherwise? With the likes of Wan Donghai that numbnuts, can he invent this kind of medicinal pills? These me
dicinal pills are clearly formulas that he got from some other place! Other than sect forces, what other places could possibly have these pill formulas? Furthermore, if these aren't pill formulas sifted out by the sect forces, you think that Wan Donghai can get to see them? Would he dare to take over?" Ye Yuan said disdainfully.
Nanfeng Ruoqing mused over it. This was really the case.
However, even if they were pill formulas eliminated by the sect, bringing it into the secular world was also sufficiently startling!
With just these few pill formulas, the Su Family could already overthrow the Imperial Family!
If the Imperial Family lost the support of these big and small families, the Su Family virtually did not need to make any moves, and they could take down the Nanfeng Family without drawing blood!
"Humph! How much do you know about sect matters? Even if the pill formulas were eliminated by the sect, it's enough to stun the world!" Yang Hao snorted coldly.
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders as if he was too lazy to dispute.
Yang Hao's blow landing on cotton made him incredibly depressed.
But at this time, Ye Hang could not sit still too. He was just about to go down when Ye Yuan held him back.
"Don't be anxious, Father. Wan Donghai hasn't finished executing his plays yet. Let him play first," Ye Yuan transmitted.
"En? What other means are there?" In terms of scheming, Ye Hang was evidently inferior to Wan Donghai.
"Hur hur, Father will know when you continue watching," Ye Yuan said while smiling.
Wan Donghai was presently surrounded in the middle by people, but nobody really dared to get close to him.
After all, he was a Crystal Formation Realm expert. Even if he was an alchemist, these people dared not bump into him.
However, the crowd was speaking incoherently, nearly drowning him in spittle.
"Stop making noise! Not a single one of these three types of medicinal pills will be sold to you all!" Wan Donghai suddenly shouted.
"What? Manor Lord Wan, such incredible medicinal pills and you're not selling. Don't tell me that you want to watch a treasure mountain?"
"That's right, Manor Lord Wan. You didn't organize this Pill Grading Assembly just for us to covet it, right?"
Wan Donghai waved his hands and said, "Everyone return to your seats. This Wan has something major to discuss with everyone!"
When they heard it, their hearts jumped with a start, thinking to themselves, it's here!
They were towed by Wan Donghai just now, blindly fighting over the medicinal pills, and forgot about today's Feast at Hong Gate. 1 Now, seeing Wan Donghai said that, it was most likely time to unfurl the map to reveal the dagger!
Without any accident, Wan Donghai was going to force them to make their position known!
Everyone returned to their seats with ugly expressions, weighing out just how they should deal with this front today! Feast at Hong Gate – A situation which appears to be joyous, but is actually treacherous. Like in the Game of Thrones, the Red Wedding.
Chapter 197 - When Watching a Play, Watch the Entire Show
"Manor Lord Wan, speak then. What conditions do you want before you're willing to sell us these medicinal pills?"
At this time, an aristocrat spoke. It was very clear that these medicinal pills Wan Donghai took out moved him greatly!
However, his question also voiced out the words in everyone's hearts.
Wan Donghai gave a slight smile and slowly said, "Speaking of which, these few years, our State of Qin's national strength has always been leaning to the weak side. Among the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations, we're already in the lower-middle position. I wonder if after so many years, has anyone ever reflected on it?"
When the crowd heard that, they thought to themselves that it had indeed come!
These words from Wan Donghai were piercing criticisms! National strength growing weak, who was to be blamed? Couldn't have been their fault, right?
Of course, it was the Imperial Family's fault!
Many people's gaze shifted over to Nanfeng Lou's direction.
"I keep feeling that our State of Qin's forces are too scattered and does not form an effective alliance! If we, these forces, can ally together to form a synergy, we can definitely make the State of Qin strong! Now, we have the Essence Gathering pill, True Qi Returning Pill, Essence Converting Pill, Rising Spirit Pill, so many medicinal pills. It's enough to let even more martial artists grow stronger!"
Speaking up to here, Wan Donghai paused for a bit. Sweeping his gaze one round across the entire great hall, he said loudly, "Therefore, I suggest to establish a State of Qin Alchemy Alliance! Integrate all the influences together to bring about an even stronger State of Qin!"
When Wan Donghai's speech ended, Nanfeng Ruoqing could not hold back any longer. She immediately stood up and said furiously. "Wan Donghai, are you rebelling?"
Towards Nanfeng Ruoqing's accusation, Wan Donghai was not overly surprised. He just smiled and said, "Why do you say that, Eldest Princess? I'm only saying to found an Alchemy Alliance to strengthen our State of Qin's power. Rather, as the Imperial Family, how many things have you done for the State of Qin these few years? Mm?"
"That's because . . . because . . ." Nanfeng Ruoqing did not know how to answer.
It was an irrefutable fact that the Imperial Family was declining!
Not that the Imperial Family did not wish to grow stronger, but because the Su Family's obstruction was too powerful. Nanfeng Yi was overly cautious in taking action, which resulted in the State of Qin's situation today.
When it came down to it, the Su Family was the main culprit!
But this was an open secret! All in all, it was still because the Imperial Family themselves were not powerful enough!
In this world, it had always been the strong who reigned supreme while the weak were destined to be eliminated!
"Because of what? Hur hur, Eldest Princess also can't say it yourself? Us, the subjects, provide taxes for the Imperial Family, leaving the Imperial Family without the need to care for necessities. But what have the Imperial Family brought us?"
"These years, the country is prosperous, and the people are at peace. The citizens live a prosperous and contented life. Isn't this all thanks to the Imperial Family?" Nanfeng Ruoqing said crossly.
"This was just peace on the surface! Even though we are people in the secular world, this is the world of martial artists! In the world of martial artists, it has always been the weak who are food while the strong feasts! Other countries grow stronger while our State of Qin grows weaker. In the future, the outcome can only be being swallowed up by other countries! Eldest Princess, tell me whether what I said is correct or not?" Wan Donghai said with a cold smile.
Nanfeng Ruoqing was speechless because what Wan Donghai said was the truth!
However, the Nanfeng Family was not doing nothing these few years!
Why did Nanfeng Ruoqing and Nanfeng Zhirou conceal their identity and cultivate in the Dan Wu Academy? That was for the rise of the Nanfeng Family!
Nanfeng Ruoqing's talent in the alchemy path was incomparable. She had the qualifications to enter the Tranquil Cloud Sect long ago! But she had always stayed in the academy because she hoped to make the Imperial Family stronger through her efforts!
Why did Nanfeng Zhirou train so desperately? She similarly wanted to let herself become strong to protect the Nanfeng Family, to protect the State of Qin!
However, the Su Family pressed on at every step, and now, they finally revealed their fangs!
Yet, the Nanfeng Family had not m.a.t.u.r.ed yet!
"Everybody! As long as you join the alliance, we can enjoy the resources together! The merchants of the alchemy world can represent to sell the medicinal pills refined by the Drunken Star Manor! Families and martial artists who join the alliance can enjoy corresponding discounts when purchasing alliance medicinal pills according to their contribution level! I wonder if everyone is pleased with such conditions?"
<
br /> Wan Donghai finally threw out a heavyweight bomb!
The allure of these terms was not an ordinary kind of big.
One could imagine, with the Drunken Star Manor possessing these four kinds of medicinal pills, they would hold a complete monopoly in the State of Qin in the future.
If merchants in the alchemy world did not join the alliance, then they would not obtain the channel to get these medicinal pills. What awaited them was only one result: bankruptcy.
Martial artists and family clans needed to nurture their own strength/forces. Their requirements towards medicinal pills were extremely huge!
Undeniably, the prices of these few medicinal pills would surely be very high. Especially the Rising Spirit Pill. It would definitely be so high that it would be to quite a ridiculous extent!
Even so, there would likely still be countless martial artists going after it in flocks!
Even though it only increased the success rate by 20%, how many martial artists were struck at this checkpoint in the entire State of Qin?
There were many people who were only lacking just a 5% success rate which made them unable to breakthrough realms, resulting in years slipping by 20% success rate was enough to let many Essence Qi Realm martial artists breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm.
Even those Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm without any hopes of a breakthrough, wouldn't they wish to give it a shot?
Hence, these two conditions thrown out by Wan Donghai was too alluring!
However, many of these aristocrats were still quite fearful of the Nanfeng Family. Many of them exchanged looks and whispered to one another, discussing countermeasures.
Wan Donghai was not anxious either. He waited patiently for everyone's reply.
Ye Hang was in a big hurry when he saw the situation and wanted to move out again, but was stopped by Ye Yuan again.
"Father, such a lovely show; how can you not finish watching it? When watching a play, watch the full show!" Ye Yuan transmitted.
"Still watching? Continue watching, and they will all seek refuge from Wan Donghai and Su Yulin already!"
