“Hey young man, how many of those pills do you have? I will take them all for ten thousand yuan a pill.”

“Dream on! Do you expect to buy this high-grade physique Refining Pill for your dirt cheap offer? I will pay three times your offer!”

“Fifty! fifty thousand per pill here!”

Once the pill had gained the stamp of approval from the Li Family of the Green Vines, the prospective buyers flocked toward Chen Fan like housewives in the farmers market would to a discount section. They held out their cash on display for Chen Fan while staring greedily at the boy.

the biggest challenge for a martial artist was lack of resources. Internal Force cultivation was very difficult and also had a high minimum requirement for the pract.i.tioner’s talent. Even an internal force user could not guarantee that their offspring would be able to succeed in gaining the same power as they did.

However, the physique Refining Pill was able to practically infuse the human body with Internal Force; this was everything that a martial artist could dream of.

“I have to warn you that this pill has a high requirement for the user’s physique and will power. In addition, it is only useful for people who had only been practicing external force exercises.” Chen Fan explained slowly.

Chen Fan’s announcement had caught everyone by surprise. If this pill’s usefulness was limited to only the external-force-martial-artists, then its value would take a significant hit. After all, most powerful martial arts masters had transformed into internal force users since practicing the internal force had much greater potential than practicing the external force. Master Cui from southwest China, for example, was able to refine his external force and eventually gain the powerful internal force and reached its peak level. Because of his achievement, Master Cui was considered an unprecedented genius, however, it would be very difficult for him to improve his power any further.

However, the drawback didn’t seem to quell the bidding war. After all, internal force was simply too difficult to obtain and no external force users would want to pa.s.s up such an opportunity.

“A million, I will pay a million per pill. It’s the highest price so far.”

A muscular man with a greasy face shouted out and looked around him.

The crowd slowly quieted down. To obtain internal force, one would have to consume a large amount of these pills, therefore, once the price had reached beyond most people’s financial capability, the offers dwindled down.

“He is from the Diamond Temple. His sect is well known for their External Force abilities. No wonder they are willing to pay so much for these pills.”

Someone recognized the muscular man.

Rumor had it that the Diamond Temple Sect originated from the Great Glacial Mountain. A few years ago, they even sired an External Force Grand Master. They were usually considered one of the toughest sects in the physique Refinement category.

Seeing his offer was final, the brawny man turned around to Chen Fan and asked excitedly: “Bro, how many of these pills do you have? I will take them all!”

To his surprise, Chen Fan said: “I don’t need money. You can exchange the pill with thousand years old Ginseng or some herbs of equivalent effect. I can offer you as many Phsyic Refining Pills as you’d like.”

“Urh…” The big man was taken aback.

In this day and age, even a hundred-year-old ginseng was hard to come by much less that of a thousand year old one. It was nearly impossible to find.

However, the exchange had caught the attention of the Li Family of Green Vines.

One-Needle-Li’s eyes lit up and said: “I have a couple of those thousand year old herbs back in my home. However, those are extremely rare and kept as family heirlooms. However, if you are willing to exchange those herbs with your Physic Refining Pill’s recipe, we might be able to come to an agreement.”

Chen Fan hesitated. He had handed over Physic Refining Pill’s recipe to the military and therefore the contents had become cla.s.sified information. If he gave the information off to the public, he might be opening a can of worms that he didn’t want to deal with.

“I have already given the recipe to others.” Chen Fan shook his head.

“Well, that’s… unfortunate.” One-Needle-Li heaved a sigh.

Although he was convinced that the Physic Refining Pill was a top grade elixir, he could tell that the ingredients used in the pill were readily available. Therefore, it was viable for ma.s.s production once they had gained the recipe. With their connections overseas, they might even be able to export these pills to the overseas martial arts communities, such as the sects that practiced Ancient Muay Thai.

The potential for profit of this little pill was unimaginable by most people.

“Can I buy it with money?” Chen Fan furrowed his brows and asked.

“Hehe.” One-Needle-Li smiled haughtily. “You might not have heard of our Lis Group. We control over ninety percent of the high-end herb market and thirty percent of the medicine production capacity in China. We manage over five publicly traded pharmaceutical companies. Those thousand year old herbs are a family treasure and only a family elder is able to use it. May I ask how many billions you are going to pay for them?”

Chen Fan kept his silence but lamented in his mind.

He was in the same boat as the Zhen Family of Hong Kong. The deal was grossly in favor of the seller and therefore the seller could set the price at will. Those thousand year old herbs were able to prolong people’s lives and therefore the Li Family would never have to worry about the lack of buyers.

One-Needle-Li shook his head and was about to turn around and leave. Without the recipe, these pills were far from being able to satisfy the Li Family’s expectations.

Suddenly, he heard Chen Fan speak up again.

“Although I can’t sell you the recipe for the physique Refining Pill, I have other elixirs’ recipes for sale.”

So saying, Chen Fan fished out another white and blue china bottle and produced a green pill from within. A green pellet hit the display plate and made a crisp clink. Suddenly, the air around Chen Fan was infused with a strong aroma of spring, and life.

“What is that?”

One-Needle-Li was shocked by the development, and the little pill also arrested the attention of the girl from the Medicine G.o.d Vally Sect.
