Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Miraculous Pill
When they saw the five Small Rejuvenation Pills in Long Wu’s hand, the group of tycoons looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt.
Long Wu slowly began his introduction.
"Gentlemen, these five pills in my hand are all precious treasures. Taking one can extend your life, strengthen your body, and provide all sorts of unimaginable benefits."
Upon hearing this, every tycoon present scoffed.
Clearly, none of them believed Long Wu’s tall tales. One of them couldn’t help but sneer on the spot.
"Master Long, I heard a few days ago that you were peddling some kind of miraculous pill everywhere, supposedly for an exorbitant price. Are you planning to treat us, the wealthy of Ming City, like a bunch of fools?"
The expressions of some others instantly changed. They now understood that Long Wu was trying to sell them a pill, and was looking to make a killing off them.
At this thought, the tycoons’ faces soured.
The thing was, with their worldly experience, they had never encountered such a treasure before, so they naturally assumed Long Wu was trying to deceive them.
Although Long Wu was the underground Emperor, these tycoons were not to be trifled with either.
Besides, with so many of them united, they weren’t afraid that Long Wu would dare resort to strong-arm sales tactics.
However, Long Wu just shook his head and chuckled disdainfully.
"I, Long Wu, have been in this game for many years. When have any of you ever seen me resort to such cheap tricks and scams?"
This one sentence made the group of tycoons frown and fall into thought.
Just as Long Wu had said, although he was the Hall Master of Huaiyi Hall, with a reputation that could stop a child from crying at night...
...he had never, from start to finish, done anything so low-handed.
That was why people on the streets both respected and feared Long Wu, but few ever looked down on him.
Seeing that the tycoons were clearly starting to waver, Qin Tuo, who was standing behind him, gave Long Wu an approving look.
Long Wu smiled, feeling flattered and surprised, then waited for the tycoons to make a move.
Finally, one of the tycoons spoke up slowly, coughing as he did.
"Can this pill of yours cure my illness?"
Long Wu laughed directly.
"Of course! Curing a cough like yours is no problem at all!"
"Oh? Is it really that miraculous? I’ve been trying to treat this for years with no success. I might as well treat a dead horse like a living one!"
After speaking, the coughing old man directly asked Long Wu for a Small Rejuvenation Pill.
After looking at it for a few moments, he closed his eyes and swallowed it right then and there.
All the other tycoons, their faces tense, watched the old man intently.
After a short while, a reddish glow appeared on the old man’s face, and his whole body began to feel warm.
"Eh? What’s happening?"
The old man’s expression grew solemn.
The group of tycoons instantly thought they had been scammed, and rage appeared on every one of their faces!
Just as they were about to erupt, the old man’s joyous voice echoed through the hall.
"Ah! Why am I not coughing at all? This is wonderful! Truly wonderful!"
The old man was ecstatic, so moved that tears even welled up in his eyes.
Heaven knew how much suffering this strange coughing illness had caused him over the years!
To finally be free from the ailment felt like being reborn.
The scene before them couldn’t be faked. The group of tycoons was utterly stunned.
A few of them snapped out of it and quickly expressed their desire to try the Small Rejuvenation Pill’s effects as well!
"Haha, don’t rush. There are still four left. Four more people can give it a try."
Laughing, Long Wu handed them out to four of the men, letting them take the pills on the spot.
Meanwhile, Qin Tuo sat to the side from beginning to end, leisurely sipping his tea without a hint of worry.
He knew better than anyone what the Small Rejuvenation Pill was capable of.
It could quickly cure not just minor ailments like this, but even most terminal illnesses.
After all, the pill was refined from numerous medicinal herbs and infused with the pure Spiritual Qi from the Celestial King Order—something ordinary people could never comprehend.
Less than ten minutes after the four tycoons took their Small Rejuvenation Pills, they all began to exclaim in amazement.
One of the tycoons had a weary, weathered face from overwork.
But now, at a speed visible to the naked eye, his complexion became radiant!
"My God, how did my skin get so smooth? I can’t believe it. Is this real?"
The tycoon touched his face, finding it slippery-smooth, and was so happy he nearly jumped for joy on the spot.
Another tycoon, who had been bald, now had a fine layer of new hair sprouting from his head. It was like a magic trick, utterly unbelievable!
Even Long Wu himself was a little surprised.
He had never taken a Small Rejuvenation Pill; he had only heard Qin Tuo describe its powerful effects.
Seeing it with his own eyes, Long Wu actually felt a faint sense of regret. ’Isn’t selling them to these tycoons a bit of a waste?’
But when he remembered this was Qin Tuo’s intention, he didn’t dare interfere.
The most exaggerated case was the tycoon who had previously walked with an unsteady gait from a life of debauchery. He suddenly discovered that the virility he had lost for over a decade seemed to have returned.
Moreover, he felt like a young man again, full of energy and vigor!
"I can’t... I can’t hold it in anymore..."
Suddenly, the tycoon lunged toward a beautiful waitress nearby.
The waitress screamed, her face paling in terror, and dodged to the side.
Long Wu instantly took two steps forward and grabbed the tycoon’s arm.
"Let me go! I’m about to explode!"
The tycoon roared like an out-of-control beast.
Long Wu said coldly:
"If you need to ’take care of it,’ go outside. The people here are not your tools!"
The tycoon shot Long Wu a vicious glare, but he didn’t dare get too out of line in a place like this.
So, he could only rush out in a frantic hurry...
This scene made all the other tycoons erupt in boisterous laughter!
But after the laughter died down, everyone looked at Long Wu, their eyes shining.
"Master Long, this pill is simply miraculous! It’s unimaginable that such a wondrous treasure exists in this world!"
The tycoons couldn’t help but sigh in amazement, feeling as if they were in a dream.
Just moments ago, they had suspected the Small Rejuvenation Pill was a scam. They never expected to be proven wrong so quickly and so spectacularly!
Long Wu smiled smugly, cleared his throat twice, and said:
"See? I told you I wasn’t lying. This pill has many effects; you’ve only seen a few of them just now."
Upon hearing that the Small Rejuvenation Pill’s effects were so powerful it could practically cure all diseases, a look of utter frenzy appeared in every tycoon’s eyes.
"Master Long, enough with the talk! We all want to order this pill!"
The group of tycoons spoke out in unison, as if they had lost control.
