Stronger from Earth-Chapter 188: Taking Action
No one knew about the private celebration of these dozen people, and they regretted not being able to see Wang Xuan's furious expression. How delightful it would be if they could witness it.
The more frustrated and upset Wang Xuan was, the happier they were.
"It's a pity that several leading Spirit Tier Pill Masters didn't join us. Their pill formation success rate for top-grade pills is two or three times ours, and they have many regular alchemy seekers. Wang Xuan's influence on them is negligible.
If they were to join us, our words would carry much more weight, making the people of Immortal Martial Mountain believe us without a doubt, and that would be truly formidable.
Even if Wang Xuan wished to make a comeback, it would be impossible.
It's such a pity, such a pity."
Zhang Jingde shook his head, still unsatisfied with Wang Xuan's current situation, wishing he could trample him completely.
...
After coming out of seclusion, Wang Xuan was mentally weary and anger simmered in his heart, thinking it would be refreshing to have a fight with Chen Qingniu.
"Chen the Sixth, does your mountain have a name, or is it just called Cyan Ox Mountain? Besides you, there's not another horned creature on this mountain."
Chen Qingniu was diligently practicing cultivation, delving into the Martial Dao. According to Wang Xuan's estimation, his cultivation level had already reached the mid to late stages of Controlling the Sky, and reaching the peak of sky control within a year was not a problem.
Such a cultivation speed is indeed very fast.
"If you want to call it Cyan Ox Mountain, then call it that, it's up to you." Chen Qingniu finished his exercises and didn't mind these trivial matters. Of course, he also understood that Wang Xuan was joking with him.
"Xiaoqi, I heard someone has been smearing your reputation these days? Rumors are swirling around, do you know who did it?
Let's call our second senior brother and stand up for you. Those who only throw mud behind your back need no reasoning; let's give them a beating first."
Wang Xuan shook his head: "Chen the Sixth, you're not usually this impulsive."
"I'm just worried you'll feel stifled. Reasoning is important, but swinging fists is more straightforward. What can't be solved by reason can easily be settled by a fist." Chen Qingniu said.
In the past, he prioritized reason, but one day he realized that reasoning doesn't always work. When your fists aren't big enough, you can't counter others' crooked logic either.
"Don't worry, I can solve it soon." Wang Xuan said, with no trace of worry or tension on his face.
Seeing Wang Xuan so composed, Chen Qingniu felt much more at ease and said, "That's good, I'm still waiting for you to become an Earth Tier Pill Master and make us some top-grade pills, for me and Senior Brother Zhou Wu."
His cultivation also consumed quite a few top-grade pills, mostly provided by Tang Yuan, and it seemed there weren't enough.
"You can have as many top-grade pills as you want. For me, creating them is effortless, and I'll sell them to you at cost, so you'll have plenty of pills to feast on." As a Pill Master, Wang Xuan didn't find the pills others coveted to be anything extraordinary.
Chen Qingniu waved his hand: "No, even close brothers settle accounts clearly, and gentlemen's friendships are as light as water. These things must be kept clear, or they'll affect our relationship."
After a bit of chatting, Wang Xuan had a sparring session with Chen Qingniu until they were both exhausted.
"Wang Xiaoqi, you have too few martial arts skills. While your techniques are open and dynamic, they lack explosive attack power. You should learn some saber techniques, palm techniques, and finger techniques." Chen Qingniu pointed out Wang Xuan's shortcomings.
"My cultivation level has increased too quickly, and by the time I learn most martial arts, they're no longer applicable, so there's not much need to learn them."
Wang Xuan explained that he hadn't learned any new martial arts in a long time, relying mostly on battle instincts and overwhelming strength, which had sufficed.
Of course, the main reason for not learning was that he intended to save Source Power, which he concentrated on improving his cultivation level.
However, having earned a lot of Source Power recently, he figured there was no need to be so tight-fisted, and learning a couple more wouldn't hurt.
"I understand your suggestion, and I'll learn in a few days." Wang Xuan waved, leapt up and glided away.
Chen Qingniu was speechless. What does he mean by his cultivation level increasing too fast to have time to learn? This is nothing but blatant bragging!
Returning to Black and White Mountain, after a bath attended to by Shuishui, Wang Xuan lay on a vine chair to rest, relieving his physical fatigue.
Before long, a beam of golden light descended on Black and White Mountain, with Yue Yiyi riding on the back of the Golden-winged Roc, bounding over joyfully.
"Hey, Nephew Wang, I'm here again, quickly hand over the candy!" Yue Yiyi pointed at her jade box, shaking it, indicating it was empty.
Wang Xuan gave her a glance: "I'm no longer selling super-grade pills. People keep saying they're not worth a Celestial Treasure each, calling me a greedy merchant selling at too high a price.
Selling cheap makes me unhappy, selling expensive makes others unhappy, so I just stopped selling altogether."
A few days ago, people came seeking super-grade pills, often mentioning how they weren't worth a Celestial Treasure each and trying to haggle for a lower price.
They suggested they should sell for five times the value of top-grade pills as said by those Pill Masters, as that would be considered reasonable.
Wang Xuan nearly spat in their faces, irritated by such talk, so he simply stopped selling them.
Super-grade pills, not even mentioning how difficult they are to concoct, take ordinary Pill Masters thousands of top-grade pills just to create one super-grade. Its effectiveness alone, being five times that of a top-grade pill, is astounding.
Furthermore, top-grade pills, those that seize the essence of the heavens and earth, greatly stabilize one's foundation and eliminate the instability caused by excessive pill consumption.
If one consumes too many top-grade pills without consolidation, foundational instability and pill resistance occur, but not with super-grade pills.
Moreover, using super-grade pills to breakthrough and reach a higher realm significantly increases the success rate.
Additionally, the unparalleled taste experience leaves anyone who consumes them feeling as if they're roaming in the Paradise Immortal Realm.
With all this combined, can it be simplistically concluded that its efficacy is merely five times that of top-grade pills?
What a joke!
Do they think I'm begging them to buy? Am I short of money? Short of Celestial Treasures? I may need these things, but I'm certainly not lacking.
Yue Yiyi tilted her head, saying: "Nephew, your sugar pills are indeed expensive, but I find them quite worth it.
They taste delicious, the best I've ever tasted.
My master says eating some every day could regulate body's secretions to optimal levels, clear impurities from flesh body and soul, and strengthen one's foundation.
Eating them often benefits the growth of one's bone structure.
If taken at the limit of a realm when there's nowhere to advance, it can help break through limits, reinforcing one's foundational strength in the same realm.
So, maybe they aren't worth a Celestial Treasure, but a half-piece isn't an issue either."
After speaking, Yue Yiyi dropped several Celestial Grade treasures and a pile of Spirit Crystals like a small mountain.
"Nephew, my master specifically told me since you're going back to celebrate the new year soon, I should stock up on sugar pills, otherwise, it will be a long time before I can eat them again.
All the sugar pills you have, Yiyi wants them all, still at one Celestial Treasure each, Yiyi has plenty of money, not short of cash."
Yue Yiyi tilted her small head proudly.
Wang Xuan was overjoyed, lifted the little girl and kissed her twice, then set her down seeing Yue Yiyi's miffed face.
"Yiyi, you understand me! You know the value of my super-grade pills." Wang Xuan laughed heartily.
When it comes to being generous, Yue Yiyi ranked top at Immortal Martial Mountain, as one of his biggest clients.
With this deal, she swept nearly two hundred super-grade pills from his stock, leaving only a few dozen Spirit Tier super-grade pills.
And what Yue Yiyi said left him pleasantly surprised, realizing benefits to his super-grade pills he never knew himself.
Moreover, these were personally verified by Master Uncle Hong Xuanji.
What is authority? This is authority. At Immortal Martial Mountain, Master Uncle Hong Xuanji's credibility is top-notch!
Yue Yiyi wiped her mouth and huffed: "Who told you to kiss me? Master said whoever touches me, he'll personally beat them to death."
Wang Xuan felt a chill down his spine; this little miss is really not to be trifled with.
He hurriedly took out the super-grade pills he had, placed them before her, and the little girl beamed with joy.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Xuan said: "Yiyi, could you do me a favor? It's simple, and if successful, I'll give you five candy pills."
After pondering, Yue Yiyi nodded, and Wang Xuan gave her detailed instructions, stating the recognition of his super-grade pill's value would depend on her.
"Leave it to me!" Yue Yiyi patted her small chest confidently.
Only then did Wang Xuan feel everything was foolproof.
Early the next morning, the doors of Im**mortal Dome Pavilion opened once more. The small pavilion had been refurbished, looking entirely new.
In just half an hour, dozens of people gathered around.
"Immortal Dome Pavilion's grand opening, top-grade pills at thirty percent off, available to all, no need for auction." The steward announced loudly.
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, for this was an unprecedented display of generosity!
