When Shen Qiang arrived at Wanxin Hesheng, the auction had already reached its latter half.

The crowd was concentrated in the auction hall; the corridors and entrance hall were very quiet. As soon as Shen Qiang arrived at the entrance, he saw the glamorous Xu Nan, with a radiant smile, coming out to greet him.

Her outfit was still very formal and dignified, making her look spirited.

"How are things?" After all, it was the first time Guiyuan Pill appeared, and Shen Qiang had bet three hundred tons of raw materials. If this first venture didn't make a name, it would be difficult to turn things around later.

Xu Nan smiled and said, "What else could it have been? You suddenly stopped selling Jade Cream, and that drove away more than a dozen customers who came specifically for it."

Shen Qiang blinked, then laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Although everyone has a desire for beauty, Jade Cream only beautifies, whereas Guiyuan Pill can save lives, the value is far different."

Xu Nan laughed and led Shen Qiang inside: "Everything, from its appearance to acceptance, has to go through a process. Jade Cream just gained some fame and was just acknowledged when you stopped selling it, which is really a pity."

Shen Qiang laughed, "It's just temporarily halted, whether it will be sold in the future is still not certain."

Xu Nan, smiling, led Shen Qiang upstairs.

Walking ahead of Shen Qiang, her sheer black stockings and the voluptuous curve encased in her pencil skirt.

They reached her office.

After picking out a bottle of Jade Cream to keep for herself and giving the rest back to Shen Qiang, Xu Nan looked at Shen Qiang somewhat puzzled and asked, "Has the raw material for Jade Cream gone extinct? Otherwise, why stop selling it when there are still so many bottles?"

Shen Qiang smiled without responding.

In fact, when Shen Qiang had undergone Foundation Establishment, there had been a change in the celestial signs.

Over ninety-five percent of the Lingzhi and purple Xin vines in the plantation were destroyed.

But they would recover soon.

Because samples of Mo Yunzhi were preserved within the Plague Source.

Replanting had already begun.

However, if Jade Cream continued to be sold now, Xiu Ju would definitely hear about it.

A selling price of around ten million is astronomical for ordinary people, but for true experts in the Cultivation World, it's merely the basic price of a Magic Artifact.

Once she bought it, how could Shen Qiang keep playing?

Moreover, although ten million per bottle is not a small amount, for Shen Qiang now, Gathering Qi Powder and Xu Zhi Bone Healing Ointment are the real sources of wealth, plus the soon-to-be-launched Guiyuan Pill, the money earned is nearly enough. Missing these ten million from Jade Cream wouldn't make much of a difference.

After all, Gathering Qi Powder alone brings Shen Qiang a profit of three hundred million a week.

Whereas Jade Cream, selling one bottle a week, only makes ten million.

Selling it or not, it almost has no impact on the overall situation.

But if Shen Qiang's scheme succeeds, he wouldn't just collect mockery— he might also gain a bodyguard even more formidable than Qian Shanxue.

If it were not for this, Shen Qiang wouldn't just be spiteful over money.

"For now, that's it. Whether it will be sold later is hard to say," Shen Qiang said with a smile looking at Xu Nan. "Don't be too greedy; the money in this world can't be earned in entirety. What can truly last are broadly adaptable medicines like Gathering Qi Powder and Guiyuan Pill. As for Jade Cream, it's dispensable."

This left Xu Nan, who had failed to draw out a conversation, feeling somewhat helpless.

Just then, Xu Nan's radio cracked to life, "Miss, it's time for the Guiyuan Pill to make its appearance. Would you like to come and see?"

"I'll be right there."

Having said that, Xu Nan rose with a smile and said, "Let's go have a look."

Shen Qiang stood up, heaved a sigh, and said, "I hope I won't be disappointed."

As they entered the Cultivation auction hall through a side door, the auctioneer was solemnly saying, "This pill, known as the Guiyuan Pill, is consigned for sale by a reclusive senior of the Divine Dragon lineage, entrusted to our Wan Xin Hesheng."

Upon hearing this, some in the hall started heckling.

"Can you cut down on the gimmicks and be more genuine? Just say what it does and how much it costs."

Amid the laughter of the crowd, the auctioneer's face turned a bit embarrassed.

Xu Nan's expression darkened as she said indifferently, "Those not interested in the Guiyuan Pill may leave."

At her words, the previously noisy hall immediately fell silent.

Seeing no one spoke, Xu Nan told the auctioneer, "Continue."

The auctioneer's eyes lit up.

Shen Qiang also couldn't help but look at Xu Nan a few more times, astonished that a single sentence could quiet the rowdy crowd in such a setting.

"Young brother Shen Qiang, you're quite late today," Bianyi greeted from not far away, and Shen Qiang nodded, indicating he had noticed, before sitting down on one side.

"This pill is a new product. Although it has never appeared in the Cultivation World before, its effect on restoring True Energy is nothing short of miraculous."

"Pure hype. Can this Elixir Pill even surpass the Divine Pills of Jia Ye?"

"Exactly. Among recovery Elixir Pills, the Jia Ye Divine Pills are recognized as excellent. Elixir Pills better than Jia Ye Divine Pills are rare, and even if someone refines one or two such pills, they are treated as treasures. How could it possibly make it to an auction house?"

"Indeed, the Jia Ye Divine Pill is the best Elixir Pill for recovery. The ingredients aren't too rare, and many people can refine it. For a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, it can restore half of the True Energy within two four-hour periods. What even is this Guiyuan Pill?"

Amid the buzzing of the crowd,

the auctioneer's eyes brightened as he said, "Since everyone is familiar with the Jia Ye Divine Pill, this makes things easier. As the saying goes, comparisons kill, the Jia Ye Divine Pill restores half of the True Energy in two hours, which amounts to four hours."

"However, our Guiyuan Pill, after ingestion, can restore one hundred percent of True Energy within two hours! Not only that, but more astonishingly, it can restore eighty percent of True Energy within the first fifteen minutes, and the remaining twenty percent will also be restored within two hours."

"Impossible!" an elder stood up and said, "I have devoted my life to the art of Elixir Pills. Although I have not refined any notable products yet, I am well aware that a Spirit Pill that fully restores True Energy might exist in this world, but restoring eighty percent within fifteen minutes is absolutely impossible!"

Upon hearing this, many people nodded in agreement.

Bianyi sneered as he glanced at Shen Qiang, commenting, "Even for a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, the vastness of True Energy is undeniable. If there really were a pill that could restore eighty percent of True Energy in fifteen minutes, it would have to be an Immortal Pill seen once in a millennium."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Perhaps this Guiyuan Pill really can achieve the effects claimed by the auctioneer."

Bianyi smiled and looked at Xu Nan, remaining silent.

Just then, a young man with an air of nobility coldly laughed, "I have often heard that Wan Xin Hesheng's auction techniques are quite formidable, usually managing to obtain high prices for worthless junk. Today, seeing this outrageous fluff from Wan Xin Hesheng really is laughable."
