The Strange Flame Rekindles in Battle Through the Heavens

Chapter 59 Miraculous Pills

"How did you do that? Even with the simplest Energy Accumulation Pill, I can only refine a maximum of thirty a day, and a maximum of two thousand in three months." Yao Yue looked at Xiao Yan and asked in confusion.

"Hehe, it's a secret!" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Tch! Who cares?" Yao Yue said dismissively, pursing her lips.

"Would you mind telling me who your teacher is? I'd really like to know which powerful figure could have taught such an outstanding disciple as you," Guhe asked with a smile.

"Master Guhe, you flatter me. My master is Xiong Ba!" Xiao Yan said modestly.

"Xiong Ba?" Gu He frowned upon hearing this domineering yet unfamiliar name.

"Does President Fa Ma know about this Xiong Ba?" Gu He looked at Fa Ma and asked.

"Hehe, I don't know either. Perhaps it was some reclusive master who chose to live in seclusion because he was tired of the world's strife," Fa Ma said with a smile.

"I wonder if President Fa Ma has noticed anything different about these pills?" Gu He shook his head helplessly when he saw that Fa Ma didn't know about the alchemist named Xiong Ba either, and continued to discuss the pills.

"Elder Guhe seems to have discovered something. Why don't you tell everyone?" Fa Ma said with a light laugh.

"Hehe, I only have a few superficial observations! I've noticed something about these pills: every single one that Brother Nie Feng refines seems to have healing properties. Not only that, I've also discovered that his pills seem to have some kind of beautifying and skin-care effects. These pills also contain a faint life force; if taken long-term, they can even prolong life." Gu He's words were full of praise.

"Do my pills have so many effects? How come I didn't know?" Xiao Yan was also taken aback by Gu He's words.

The old master had mentioned before that the pills he refined had healing effects. As for whether they could beautify the skin or even extend lifespan, Xiao Yan would have to ask the old master when he got back. The people here all had very strong soul perception, especially Gu He. The soul fluctuations generated by his communication with the old master were likely to attract his attention.

"What? It actually has a beautifying effect?" The three women present exclaimed in surprise, including Nalan Yanran, since which woman doesn't love beauty? Moreover, this elixir also has the effect of prolonging life. Age is a woman's greatest enemy; even the most beautiful woman will lose her beauty as she gets older, so this elixir is extremely attractive to them.

"Can we try one first?" the three beauties asked at the same time.

Upon hearing the requests from the three beauties, Xiao Yan was taken aback and shook his head helplessly, knowing that women cared most about their appearance, and beautiful women even more so.

"It's nothing valuable, eat whatever you want!" Xiao Yan said nonchalantly.

After receiving Xiao Yan's affirmative answer, the three women each took out a Power-Gathering Pill from the jade bottle and put it in their mouths, because among all these pills, Power-Gathering Pills were the only ones they could eat freely, since they only increased strength.

"I feel so much lighter!" Yaoyue exclaimed.

"Hmm, my strength has increased by at least 20%, that's really good," Yao Ye exclaimed after taking it.

"I feel all the fatigue gone, and my spirits are much better. I never expected that this Energy-Gathering Pill could restore my physical strength and energy!" Nalan Yanran closed her eyes and felt it for a while. She felt comfortable all over, her body was much lighter, and her brows relaxed a little, as if the pressure had been reduced.

"Our Alchemist Guild will take all of these pills from young friend Nie Feng. How about we set the price at ten million gold coins?" Fa Ma said to Xiao Yan with a smile.

"Ah! Ten million gold coins? But my pills are only worth five million gold coins at most!" Xiao Yan said in surprise.

"Hehe, Brother Nie Feng's pills are not only highly effective, but also have so many additional benefits. Saying ten million gold coins is a bit too low," Fa Ma said with a smile.

"President Fa Ma can't keep all these pills to himself! My Yunlan Sect also wants a portion of them!" Gu He said with a faint smile.

Leaving aside the medicinal effects of the pills themselves, the additional effects alone are enough to drive those who have reached the limit of their cultivation level and are unable to break through to the next level crazy.

After all, even a Dou Huang cannot achieve immortality; their lifespan is only a mere three hundred years. These pills can prolong their lives, and even living just one more day or month is a bonus. Even if each pill only adds one day to their lifespan, that's nearly ten years!

Who wouldn't be tempted by a ten-year lifespan?

As the saying goes, "An elder in the family is a treasure," especially for powerful families where elders are the pillars of the clan. Imagine what would happen if Jia Xingtian, the guardian of the Jia Ma Empire, suddenly passed away?

First, the Yunlan Sect wouldn't let go of this opportunity to dominate the Jia Ma Empire. Even if they didn't overthrow the royal family, they would turn them into puppets to control the empire. Furthermore, other empires naturally wouldn't give up such a good opportunity and would definitely send troops to attack the Jia Ma Empire. The Snake-People tribe in the Tagar Desert, who had always sought a place to settle in the Jia Ma Empire, would naturally join the war, plunging the entire empire into flames of conflict.

The reason why the Nalan family is willing to spend any amount of money to cure Nalan Jie is because after Nalan Jie dies, the Nalan family will gradually decline and eventually be forced to leave the capital, just like the Xiao family before them.

"We'd like some of these pills too! Also, if Mr. Nie Feng has any other pills for sale, we'll buy them at double the price. Furthermore, Mr. Nie Feng must need a lot of medicinal herbs for alchemy! Our imperial warehouse is open to Mr. Nie Feng, and you can use the medicinal herbs there as you please!" Yao Ye said.

"Hehe, thank you for your kindness, Princess. I will give you priority in selling any pills I have in the future. As for medicinal herbs, I have enough, so there's no need to trouble you." Xiao Yan declined with a smile.

As the saying goes, "He who takes a man's money is bound to him, and he who eats a man's food is bound to him." If you actually use the royal family's medicinal herbs, you'll be branded as someone who will serve the royal family like a slave for the rest of your life.

"Young friend Nie Feng, Elder Guhe and Princess Yaoye also want to buy your pills. What do you think?" Fa Ma said to Xiao Yan with a smile.

Upon hearing Fa Ma's words, the others all looked at Xiao Yan, wondering what he would do.

How to allocate these three individuals is a very serious issue, as they represent the three most powerful factions in the Gama Empire. Improper allocation could easily lead to unnecessary trouble.

Liu Ling looked at Xiao Yan with a mocking expression, as if she were watching a good show. She knew that offending any one of these three forces would be disastrous for him.

"Hehe, I'd love to be one of those who share the cake, but unfortunately my strength is too weak," Xiao Yan thought to himself.

If Xiao Yan were a Dou Huang right now, there wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately, he's just a Dou Zhe, someone anyone could easily crush. Xiao Yan knew that even if he said something wrong, Fa Ma would eventually help him out. But if Xiao Yan couldn't even handle this small problem, then he'd wasted his time on Earth. After all, Newton, Einstein, and Hawking all needed to know how to offer a toast to achieve success; how much more so for Xiao Yan?

"President Fa Ma is joking. Didn't you just agree to spend ten million gold coins to buy my pills? Now that the pills are yours, you should decide how to distribute them!" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Hahaha! You sly little brat!" Fa Ma burst into laughter upon hearing Xiao Yan's words.

"Send someone over to count the pills, categorize them, and divide them into three portions," Fama instructed Chemir.

Fa Ma was naturally qualified to distribute the pills, after all, he and Jia Xingtian were from the same era. He possessed the strength of a Dou Huang, and was also a peak fifth-grade alchemist. In terms of influence alone, even Gu He could not compare to him, since Gu He had also been Fa Ma's student.
