Chapter 1011: Selling Pills

A small private booth, not exactly upscale, merely separated by a hanging curtain.

The four sat down. Qiu Zhanyu and Jinzhengu sat beside Lin Fan, somewhat curious. They had never actually been to the Shenyun Merchant Guild before; when passing through Huangtian City, they usually just glanced at it.

The main reason was that although they had robbed quite a few people using the Heaven and Earth Net, most of those they encountered were of average strength, and some items they dared not sell.

Who knew if they would be discovered? If found out, it would be a tragedy.

Therefore, whenever they got pills, they would directly split them and consume them.

As for other items, if usable, they used them; if not, they kept them on hand, never putting them to any use.

"May I ask what the three of you wish to sell?" the man asked with a slight smile.

Of these three, he could see through two, but Lin Fan was beyond his perception. His heart tightened, knowing that the man before him was no ordinary person, and among the three, he was the leader.

He himself was at the True Immortal realm. If someone was beyond his perception, then their cultivation was likely above the True Immortal realm.

"Selling a pill that can instantly restore magical power," Lin Fan said.

Nanyangzi felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this. Pills that restored magical power were not in short supply here. But suddenly, the word "instantly" made Nanyangzi pause, as if he could hardly believe it.

A pill that could instantly restore magical power—could it be an immortal pill?

Lin Fan smiled faintly, said nothing more, and directly took out a "Hunyuan Dharma Pill," placing it on the table.

Nanyangzi looked at the pill on the table, frowning slightly. It was not an immortal pill, because any immortal pill would have immortal dao laws; even a low-grade immortal pill would have a pattern of laws on its surface. But this pill had no immortal dao laws and looked utterly ordinary, with nothing special about it.

"This..." Nanyangzi, as an employee with some status at the Shenyun Merchant Guild, had a discerning eye. Although this pill lacked immortal dao laws, the aura it emitted was unusual.

The pill's potency was very rich, far surpassing ordinary pills.

"Forgive my poor judgment; I cannot understand this pill," Nanyangzi said.

He had seen countless pills, even top-grade immortal pills, and could discern their qualities. But this pill before him revealed nothing unusual.

Lin Fan smiled, then grabbed Qiu Zhanyu's shoulder.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Qiu Zhanyu was startled, not knowing what was happening.

Nanyangzi was also surprised, unsure of the other's intention.

But suddenly, Lin Fan's magical power surged, directly dispersing all the magical power within Qiu Zhanyu's body.

Lin Fan's strength was far greater than Qiu Zhanyu's, so dispersing his magical power was effortless.

"Swallow this pill." Qiu Zhanyu still didn't know what was happening, but since his big brother had spoken, he didn't hesitate and directly picked up the pill.

Nanyangzi watched Qiu Zhanyu, his face showing shock. He knew that the man's magical power had been dispersed, meaning it was completely depleted.

"This Hunyuan Dharma Pill, though not an immortal pill, has an effect that ordinary immortal pills cannot match," Lin Fan said.

After Qiu Zhanyu took the pill, his depleted magical power was instantly restored.

Seeing this, Nanyangzi was immediately stunned.

"How is this possible?"

"How about it? How much do you think this pill is worth?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.

For a moment, Nanyangzi found it hard to speak. Although Qiu Zhanyu's magical power had indeed been restored, without personally trying the pill, it was hard to believe.

"Can it instantly restore magical power at any cultivation level?" Nanyangzi asked.

"Haha." Lin Fan laughed. "Do you think that's possible? If it could restore magical power instantly at any level, we wouldn't be sitting here negotiating."

Nanyangzi then felt that his question had been somewhat fanciful.

If magical power could be instantly restored at any level, that would be truly terrifying.

"Instantly restores below the True Immortal realm."

"Restores fifty percent for True Immortals."

"Restores thirty percent for Mystic Immortals. For higher realms, it's useless."

Nanyangzi looked at Lin Fan. "How many of these pills do you have?"

Lin Fan held up one finger. "One hundred."

These pills were refined by Lin Fan himself, and since he had no use for them, they had been sitting in his backpack.

Hearing the quantity, Nanyangzi immediately stood up. "Please wait a moment; I cannot decide on this kind of pill."

"Alright," Lin Fan nodded.

Before leaving, Nanyangzi specifically arranged for Lin Fan and his companions to be moved to a slightly more upscale room.

Before long, Nanyangzi returned with an elderly man.

The old man was at the Mystic Immortal realm. When he saw Lin Fan, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, as he too could not see through Lin Fan's cultivation.

"This is the steward of the Shenyun Merchant Guild," Nanyangzi introduced.

Lin Fan nodded. "Alright, then we can discuss the price."

The old man came over, clasped his hands, and said, "Three, may I trouble you for another pill to test? If it truly has the effect you described, the cost of the two consumed pills will be borne by the Shenyun Merchant Guild."

Lin Fan directly took out a pill and tossed it to the old man.

The old man took the pill, examined it carefully, but saw nothing unusual. Although the three were of unknown origin, he believed no one would dare cause trouble in Huangtian City.

Then, the old man shook his body, directly dispersing thirty percent of his magical power, and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

In an instant.

The old man's expression changed dramatically, and he stared at Lin Fan in astonishment.

"It really can restore thirty percent of magical power!" the old man exclaimed.

A smile curled at the corner of Lin Fan's mouth. "Since you've tested it, name a price."

The old man pondered for a moment. "This pill, though lacking immortal dao laws, has an effect comparable to a low-grade immortal pill."

Lin Fan naturally knew the value of the Hunyuan Dharma Pill—it was the instant restoration of magical power.

However, the Hunyuan Dharma Pill had a drawback: the higher the cultivation level, the weaker the effect.

Especially for Golden Immortal experts, it was completely useless.

The main reason was that the spiritual herbs used were not good enough. If better spiritual herbs or immortal herbs were used, even Golden Immortals and those above could have their magical power instantly restored.

"One hundred thousand immortal crystals per pill. This is the highest price the Shenyun Merchant Guild can offer," the old man said.

Immortal crystals were the universal currency of the Endless Continent. To obtain immortal crystals, one had to find immortal veins.

And immortal veins were controlled by several major powers, mined day and night.

Immortal crystals contained immortal energy, usable for cultivation, setting up grand formations, and countless other purposes.

Even the low-grade immortal pill from the Tiandi Sect that restored magical power was only sold at the Shenyun Merchant Guild for ninety thousand immortal crystals each.

Clearly, Lin Fan's pill was much more expensive than that immortal pill.

"Alright, no problem. But I have another pill here, far more precious than the Hunyuan Dharma Pill. I wonder if the Shenyun Merchant Guild can offer a satisfactory price," Lin Fan said with a smile.

Now, the most valuable pill he could refine in large quantities was the Liyun Pill.

This pill, to be honest, was far more precious than the Hunyuan Dharma Pill.
