Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Spiritual Energy Pill_1
The group were all ancient martial artists, whose strength naturally went without saying.
Medicine juice splattered everywhere, quickly obscuring its original form, leaving only a lump of mush.
After a while, someone brought a jade trough to Ye Fei for inspection.
"Mr. Ye, is this good enough now?"
He reached out and took a bit of the mush, rolling it on his fingertips.
"Not bad."
With a sweep of his arm, he gathered the mush of crushed herbs into one lump, pulling out a small piece and rolling it into a ball.
"Roll it to about this size."
"Okay."
The group nodded and continued their work.
Soon, several hundred uniformly sized medicinal pills lay on the stone table.
Ye Fei took them and arranged them within the Spirit Gathering Array.
Holding a piece of jade, he lowered his right hand.
The surplus Spiritual Energy from before began to swirl again, coalescing into wisps, lifting the medicinal pills and absorbing them.
The medicinal herbs they had gathered for Ye Fei had effects not only to nourish the body, but also a great adaptability.
They could absorb Spiritual Energy and encapsulate it within.
It sounded simple, but without the Spirit Gathering Array and these pure medicinal pills, it’s unlikely to succeed in making them.
If one were to forcefully produce them, there was a good chance they’d become harmful pills instead.
Eventually, the Spiritual Energy floating around began to dissipate, and the medicinal pills became crystal clear, dropping on the ground like rolling beads.
Ye Fei picked one up and sniffed it at the tip of his nose.
It was refreshingly fragrant, completely devoid of the prior medicinal stench.
"Here."
Ye Fei grabbed a handful and tossed them to the group.
"This is the Spiritual Energy Pill, not only does it beautify and nourish appearance but it’s also beneficial to the body, and is a great supplement for ancient martial artists."
Looking at the crystal-clear pills in their hands, they thanked him profusely and then swallowed one each.
As soon as it entered their mouths, it melted, like a warm current spreading from the mouth through all limbs and bones.
Every corner of their bodies was being nourished by this warm flow.
And the Spiritual Energy inside them also increased a bit.
"What a good thing!"
"Take these." Ye Fei casually grabbed a handful of Spiritual Energy Pills and handed them to the group.
"You’re more familiar with Canglang Province than I am. Take these to the black market and let them name their price."
"As for the price, I estimate you have a ballpark figure in mind; they will probably be bought up very quickly. Go on."
At Ye Fei’s command, the group hurriedly complied.
Watching them leave, Ye Fei sat down cross-legged and continued to stabilize his own realm.
The nearly exhausted Spiritual Energy in the surroundings began to gather again, tightly wrapping around Ye Fei’s body.
Like being struck by a great hammer, it continuously solidified Ye Fei’s foundation.
...
That night, as soon as Ye Fei finished cultivating, he heard the group talking.
Entering the room, they all noticed Ye Fei and quickly got up.
"Mr. Ye."
Ye Fei waved his hand, signaling them to sit down, then he too sat down on the sofa.
"How much did you sell?"
"Mr. Ye, you have no idea how well the Spiritual Energy Pills sold!"
"As soon as we mentioned their effects, people didn’t believe us at first. But after we sold one, that person wanted to buy the whole lot."
The leader, brimming with pride, patted his chest.
"Who are we? Right then and there I decided not to sell to him, and rented a separate stall in the black market. Before long, people started coming over to buy, and whatever price we asked for, they paid."
As he spoke, he took out a golden card from his pocket.
"Ten pills in total, sold for fifty million in all, the highest bidder even offered five million per pill. I bundled and sold three pills to him directly."
Ye Fei fiddled with the golden card in his hands, "Five million, that’s reasonable."
"Mr. Ye, you’re not thinking of always pricing them like that, are you?"
Someone in the group spoke softly:
"Forgive my candor, but five million is not a small sum even for ordinary people... no, even for wealthy families."
"Who said I’m going to sell to them?" Ye Fei raised an eyebrow.
"Then what are you..."
"A mere five million is nothing to the high officials and nobles. Even if the price hits eight million, they would knock their heads off trying to get it."
"Besides, I am not planning to simply give it away to them."
"Not giving away for free?" The group was confused again.
Ye Fei slowly stood up, walking towards the courtyard, and said:
"Starting from the high officials and nobles of Qingyun Province and Canglang Province, as long as they behave, they’ll have their share. If they don’t behave..."
While speaking, Ye Fei applied force to his fingers, crushing one of the Spiritual Energy Pills into powder.
"They won’t get a thing."
After saying this, he dusted off his hands and returned to the courtyard to continue his cultivation.
He left the group staring at each other in shock.
"General Bu... should have a share, right?"
The group was unsure, and even if he didn’t, they had no say in it; even General Bu would have to keep his anger bottled up inside.
The next morning, Ye Fei opened his eyes.
Upon introspection, his internal organs seemed to glow, radiating with vigorous vitality.
If he wished, he could break through in a moment.
But Ye Fei chose not to break through, instead solidly stabilizing his realm at the ninth-order pinnacle.
"Zhang Shunlong, once the grand martial contest is over, I will have to settle this account with you properly," Ye Fei said to himself, already having a date in mind for his breakthrough.
At that time, upon entering the realm, combined with the methods of the Medical Saint Venerable, Zhang Shunlong’s skills would undoubtedly be no match for him.
Ye Fei got up, left the Yunwu Villa, and soon spotted a red Continental parked at the roadside.
He smiled helplessly; Luo Qiuyu was almost becoming his personal chauffeur.
"Mr. Ye, I want to warn you, a very strong contender has appeared in the Qianyuan grand competition."
"Oh?" Ye Fei’s interest was piqued, and he raised his eyebrow and asked:
"How strong?"
Luo Qiuyu looked serious and earnestly said, "Very strong, you need to be careful!"
"Alright, I got it, drive."
