Chapter 1466 4 Pills



While the three were surprised by the three pills that Alex had provided, Alex pulled out another pill.

He showed them the pill, a blue sphere with lightning scars on them. Another 5 pill veins. The people from the auction house were getting numb to that shock by now.

Pill veins were no long that surprising to them.

"This is the Water Root Transformation pill," Alex said. "If you watched my contest with the Emperor, then I have nothing to explain do it?"

All three of them suddenly got up in surprise again. "This... this is the pill that you made back then, your majesty?" the owner asked.

"This is the pill that transforms your regular spiritual roots into Water spiritual roots, correct?" the manager asked.

"I have been fascinated about getting my hands on this pill for a while now," the girl said.

Alex smiled. "Since you all know exactly what this pill is, I see that I have no reason to explain anything to you at all. Yes, this is exactly what you said this is."

"As for further explanation, I guess it is important to know that this pill transformations your spiritual root for exactly 10 days," Alex said. "A regular one lasts for 2 days at most, but this can last up to 10 days."

"Of course, it will not last that long if you overwork the meridian," Alex said.

"Yes," the girl quickly said, writing down everything. "How many pills are in there, your majesty?"

"3," Alex said.

"I see," the girl wrote and quickly slapped the talisman around the pill bottle, moving it onto her side.

Alex brought another bottle out next, leaving only two behind.

He pulled out a pill from the bottle and showed it to the three. The pill was mostly yellow in color with specks of red around it.

The pill obviously had 5 pill veins as with everything else.

The three looked at the pill curiously, wondering what better pill could come out from the King of the Southern Continent.

Alex spoke up. "This is known as the Soul Trancing Pill," he said. "As the name suggests, it puts you in a trance."

The three looked at Alex with an awkward look on their face. Was that it? Was that all this pill did?

Alex looked at the three and laughed a little before continuing. "It puts you in a trance where your mind dwells on anything and everything it couldn't focus on before. It makes it extremely easier for anyone that has eaten this pill to achieve enlightenment."

"Oh," the owner said. "Is that true?"

"Yes," Alex said. "I have personally eaten this pill 3 times and all 3 times I have learned a Dao."

"Really?" the manager asked with an astonished face. His mouth gaped open as he couldn't formulate anything other than the question.

"Of course," Alex said. "What would I get from lying here?"

The three gulped and laughed awkwardly before looking at the pill. Alex put the pill back into the bottle.

"It is the type of pill that you eat toward the end of enlightenment. When you know a lot about something, but there's still something missing, something that seems to be hiding behind a thin veil, stopping you from seeing the whole truth."

"That is when you eat this pill. At that point, it is almost guaranteed that you will gain the dao," Alex said.

The three continued staring at Alex in awe as they heard about the pill. The manager and owner would have eaten it for themselves if not for the auction.

"Your majesty," the owner couldn't help himself but ask a question. "How much would you need to directly sell this pill to us?"

"To sell the pill?" Alex asked. "I'm not sure. It's not a pill that I've ever sold before."

"I wish to buy it. Just give me a number directly and I will buy it from you," the man said.

"I'm afraid I'm not sure how much I would sell it for," Alex said. He looked at the expectant look of the owner and thought for a bit.

"How much would a pill like this go for?" he asked. "What would the starting bid be?"

"For this pill?" the owner looked lightly curious and turned toward the manager. The manager closed his eyes and thought for a bit.

"We tend to lower the initial bid of the item so that we can get the people to start bidding," the manager said. "Even then, a pill like this would go on for at least 10 thousand Saint spirit stones as an initial bid."

"10 thousand?" Alex said slightly surprised. It had been a while since he had sold a pill through an auction, so he hadn't imagined it to be sold for so much.

He thought for a bit and then said, "I will put the cost for each pill for you at 100 thousand Saint Spirit stones then."

"What?" the owner paused for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong. Had he heard it wrong?

"Your majesty, did you say... 100 thousand?" the manager said.

"I did," Alex said. "Of course, I don't expect you to pay 100 thousand for each pill."

"Then?" the owner asked.

"Whatever the price of the pill you end up selling them for together, I will deduct them and sell 2 pills to you. That should give you the incentive to make the big go as much high as you possibly can."

"What... what if it crosses 100 thousand together?" the manager asked.

"Then I suppose you will be getting 2 Soul Trancing pills for free," he said. "Will that be enough?"

"Yes! Yes, your majesty!" the two men said at once.

The daughter quickly wrote up what she heard and put it on the pill bottle.

While the two men were still jubilated, Alex pulled out the last two pill bottles and opened them up to the three.

He pulled out a brown pill from one and a blue pill from another, presenting both pills at once.

"These are the two single pills that I will be selling a singular of," Alex said. "I want to call these my greatest creation yet, but that would be slightly false as I didn't create them myself."

"Still, the majority of it did come from me.

"This brown pill is the Saint Earth Spiritual Root Improvement Pill," Alex said. "And this blue pill is the Saint Water Spiritual Root Improvement Pill."

"If you eat this pill while you have the respective spiritual root, it will improve that root to become a Superior elemental root."

"You're joking," the owner said.

"Is what I'm saying funny to you?" Alex asked.

"No, but this... there is no way this is possible, right?" he asked.

"Why is it not?" Alex asked. "You already saw a pill that can turn a regular spiritual root into Water Spiritual root. What is wrong with one that can improve an existing one?"

"Then... " the manager was slackjawed. "Do-does it really improve it all the way to the Superior realm?" n0velusb.c0m

"Yes," Alex said. "One for Earth and one for Water. There isn't much for me to describe."

He pushed the pills over toward the girl.

"Since this is over, I shall leave."
