Chapter 441: Chapter 441: They’ve All Gone Mad
Ye Xuan’s words immediately piqued the curiosity of the countless Martial Artists below.
The first two types of Pills were already so incredible. Could the Profound Pill Pavilion really have developed something even more heaven-defying?
Everyone’s anticipation soared in an instant.
Ye Xuan didn’t keep them in suspense. With a faint smile, he said, "The third category of Pills our Profound Pill Pavilion is launching is for rejuvenation. There are two types in total."
"Of these two, the first is the Fourth Grade Beauty Pill. After consumption, it can whiten the skin and preserve a woman’s youth, allowing any woman to maintain her radiant glow for a period of time."
"Taking this Pill multiple times will yield increasingly noticeable effects."
"And if taken once a day for a consecutive month, the user will be able to maintain their prime appearance for five years, unchanged."
Ye Xuan announced with ease.
What?
Rejuvenation Pills?
A Fourth Grade Beauty Pill?
Everyone was stunned.
Most people present had guessed what the Profound Pill Pavilion’s third category of Pill might be, but no one had ever considered it would be for rejuvenation.
An appearance that wouldn’t change for five years—that could already be described as defying the heavens.
For a woman over thirty, aging even a single year brings significant changes. The ability to preserve one’s youth for five years would absolutely drive countless women into a frenzy.
At yesterday’s annual auction at the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, ten Peak of Fifth Grade Pills of Eternal Youth were sold for the astronomical price of 300,000 Lower Grade Profound Stones, becoming a legend and igniting the market for rejuvenation Pills. Everyone knew just how desperate the market was for such Pills.
They never imagined that just a day later, the Profound Pill Pavilion would launch this Beauty Pill. Although it couldn’t compare to the Pill of Eternal Youth, its effects would undoubtedly attract countless women.
"Please, calm yourselves." Ye Xuan waved a hand. "Besides the Beauty Pill, our Profound Pill Pavilion has also launched a second type of rejuvenation Pill. This one is even more miraculous—a lesser version of the Pill of Eternal Youth from yesterday. It is called the Rejuvenation Pill. It is also Fourth Grade, can preserve youthfulness forever, and with continued use, can even reverse one’s age, making the user younger and younger."
"Even more amazingly, not only does it preserve one’s appearance, but it also improves the body’s immunity and physical condition, and even provides some help in cultivation."
"As for the prices of these two Pills, the Beauty Pill is one million Profound Coins each, and the Rejuvenation Pill is two million Profound Coins each. Those who wish to purchase should act quickly."
As soon as Ye Xuan’s voice fell, the entire scene erupted.
"Sir, is what you said true?"
"Do the Beauty Pill and Rejuvenation Pill really have such frightening effects?"
One after another, the Martial Artists went wild.
Yesterday’s auction had shown them that if such a Pill truly existed, buying some to take back to their own prefectures and cities would absolutely make them a fortune.
’A rejuvenation Pill... did the Profound Pill Pavilion actually manage to refine one?’
It wasn’t just the Martial Artists present; even the three great Alchemy Dao magnates not far away were staring blankly, their faces etched with disbelief.
As magnates of the Alchemy Dao, they had long coveted rejuvenation Pills, but they had never been able to develop a truly revolutionary one. Thus, what they usually sold were ordinary Pills for things like skin whitening.
They never expected the Profound Pill Pavilion to be able to launch such a potent Pill.
Just from listening to Ye Xuan’s introduction, these three magnates knew that these two Pills could absolutely change the landscape of the Alchemy Dao in the Sky Empire, and even the entire Dream Realm Plain.
Ye Xuan smiled faintly. "Words alone are not proof of the effects of these two Pills. You will know once you purchase them. However, I can reveal something here: the ten Pills of Eternal Youth auctioned at the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion yesterday were, in fact, products of my Profound Pill Pavilion."
Ye Xuan’s words were like a bombshell dropped on the crowd.
The Pills of Eternal Youth that sold for an astronomical price yesterday were actually products of the Profound Pill Pavilion?
Everyone was stunned.
"Impossible. That’s impossible."
At the Qin family Pharmacy, Qin Feng and the others murmured to themselves, their faces slack with shock.
They couldn’t accept this reality.
"I won’t waste any more words. The Profound Pill Pavilion is now officially open for business. Friends in need of Pills, please feel free to make your purchases."
With a faint smile, Ye Xuan walked down from the high platform.
"Master Xuan Ye, was what you just said true? Were the Pills of Eternal Youth really developed by your Profound Pill Pavilion?"
As soon as he came down, Yuan Fei, Master Lu Li, and the others all asked, looking dazed.
Ye Xuan smiled calmly. "What reason is there to lie? If it were false, I doubt the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion would let me use their reputation to swindle people, would they?"
My heavens!
Lu Li and the others looked on, utterly dumbfounded.
’No wonder Master Xuan Ye was so confident about entering the Pill market. With these Pills, forget just establishing a foothold in the Imperial Capital’s Pill market—he might even be able to crush the Qin family and become one of the Imperial Capital’s great Alchemy Dao magnates!’
"Xuan Ye, the cooperation with our Divine Walk Commerce Association you mentioned... was it about this...?"
At this moment, the most excited ones were Dongfang Zisi and her companions.
She rushed over to Ye Xuan and asked impatiently, her voice trembling with excitement.
"That’s right." Ye Xuan nodded. "Currently, for the Profound Pill Pavilion, I provide the technology while the Luo family handles the execution. With the Luo family’s strength, it would be a stretch for them to spread the business throughout the Sky Empire, let alone the entire Dream Realm Plain. So, for the market outside the Sky Empire, I’ll need your Divine Walk Commerce Association to expand it."
"Of course, our current production capacity is limited. If your Divine Walk Commerce Association wants to sell these in other places, it might still take some time."
With a market as large as the Dream Realm Plain, Ye Xuan naturally wouldn’t limit his sights to just the Sky Empire.
"Xuan Ye, you... you’ve really done our Divine Walk Commerce Association a huge favor."
Dongfang Zisi was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears.
She didn’t even need to do any market research; she could already foresee the market for rejuvenation Pills. With this kind of Pill, not only could their Divine Walk Commerce Association emerge from its predicament, but it could also grow and strengthen rapidly.
"By the way, Xuan Ye, I saw that the advancement-type Pills your Profound Pill Pavilion developed are also very powerful. I was wondering if we could also cooperate with the Divine Walk Commerce Association on those?"
Dongfang Zisi said, her face full of hope.
The advancement-type Pills developed by the Profound Pill Pavilion also had great market competitiveness.
"Of course, that’s no problem. For the advancement-type Pills, the profit-sharing ratio will be the same as we discussed for the rejuvenation Pills."
Ye Xuan nodded.
What they had discussed before was that the Divine Walk Commerce Association would be responsible for the entire process, including materials, refining, and sales, while the Luo family would handle the core crafting process. In the end, Ye Xuan would take a fifty percent share of the net profit.
"No problem." Dongfang Zisi agreed without the slightest hesitation.
The Profound Pill Pavilion’s Pills were so incredible that forget a 50/50 split, the Divine Walk Commerce Association would have agreed even to a much less favorable one.
After all, for the current Divine Walk Commerce Association, these Pills were a lifeline.
"One more thing. When they are sold, our Profound Pill Pavilion’s Pills must be sold under our Profound Pill Pavilion’s name. Your Divine Walk Commerce Association can only be listed as a partner."
Ye Xuan’s goal was to open branches of the Profound Pill Pavilion across the entire continent; building up its reputation was essential.
This requirement was rather unusual, but after some consideration, Dongfang Zisi agreed.
The current Divine Walk Commerce Association was in no position to bargain.
"Ahem, Master Xuan Ye..." At this point, Patriarch Yuan Fei couldn’t help but walk over and say sheepishly, "Your Profound Pill Pavilion’s Pills are so amazing, but your distribution channels seem a bit weak. Could our two families perhaps cooperate as well?"
"Ahem, I think Patriarch Yuan Fei has a point. Such great Pills, and currently they can only be sold here in the Imperial Capital’s market? That’s not nearly prestigious enough. Our Artifact Refining Workshop has shops covering the entire empire. As long as you cooperate with my Artifact Refining Workshop, Master Xuan Ye, I guarantee your Profound Pill Pavilion’s Pills will be distributed throughout the entire empire within half a month."
Master Lu Li also chimed in.
"Master Lu Li, your Artifact Refining Workshop sells Profound Soldiers, doesn’t it? Selling Pills seems a bit improper, no?" Patriarch Yuan Fei said, shaking his head.
"What’s improper about it?" Master Lu Li waved his hand dismissively and retorted, "Your Yuan family seems to only deal in the mineral business. Why are you trying to get a piece of the Pill business?"
Before Ye Xuan could even speak, the two families had started bickering.
The market for rejuvenation Pills was simply too massive. Just think, a mere ten Peak of Fifth Grade Pills could fetch a high price of 300,000 Lower Grade Profound Stones at auction. Once the Rejuvenation Pill and Beauty Pill were distributed throughout the empire, how much would the annual profit be?
Just thinking about it was enough to conjure up a terrifyingly large number.
"Alright, alright." Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle. "It’s fine if your two families want to cooperate with our Profound Pill Pavilion, but the terms will be different from those with the Divine Walk Commerce Association."
"Our split with the Divine Walk Commerce Association is 50/50. That’s because they are responsible for the entire process: materials, refining, logistics, and sales. But your two families don’t refine Pills yourselves; you would merely be sellers. Therefore, you can only receive a ten percent share of the profits."
"At the same time, the shops from your two families that sell our Profound Pill Pavilion’s Pills must also hang up the Profound Pill Pavilion’s sign. If you can agree to these terms, we can have the first shipment of goods delivered tomorrow."
Cooperating with the Artifact Refining Workshop and the Yuan family definitely had more pros than cons.
Just as the two families had said, given the Luo family’s scale, it would be difficult to distribute products throughout the entire Imperial Capital, let alone the entire empire.
But by cooperating with the Artifact Refining Workshop and the Yuan family, without spending an extra cent, the Profound Pill Pavilion’s Pills could be rapidly distributed throughout the entire empire within half a month.
And all the Profound Pill Pavilion had to give up was a ten percent share of the profit.
To Ye Xuan, that was nothing at all.
Master Lu Li couldn’t help but frown, his eyes darting around. "Young Master Ye, isn’t ten percent a little too low?"
"It’s not low, not low at all! We get a ten percent cut for doing almost nothing, that’s already great. In that case, I, on behalf of the Yuan family, agree!"
Yuan Fei agreed immediately without any hesitation, which made Master Lu Li so angry he almost started cursing out loud.
