141 The young man takes the barrier breaking pill (1/2)

”Were you successful?” The young man asked Bai Yun nervously.

”Of course.” Bai Yun said with a smile. He then picked up the pill he had kept in the store yesterday and handed it to the young man.

The young man held the medicine in his hand nervously. To him, the value of this pill was indescribable. It was this pill that would decide whether all of his efforts for the past few years had been successful or not.

The young man stood in the store and looked over the pill in the bottle. But the more he looked at it the weirder his eyes became.

”This looks different than the barrier breaking pills I have seen before in the other shops?” The young man asked.

”That is because this one is better.” Bai Yun simply replied.

The young man looked a bit confused at this. But then he took a close look at the pill, and his eyes bulged. That was because he just noticed the circle on the pill. No matter what the pill was, a pill with a circle was extremely valuable. While a single circle pill might not be too valuable in a place like yellow city, it was not the case in terracotta hill. Here the value of a circle pill, even if it was a defective one was incalculable.

”So did you bring the payment?” Bai Yun asked.

”Yes, yes.” The young man nodded. He was still a bit distracted by the value of the pill.

”Well then.” Bai Yun asked. The young man looked up sharply and slowly pulled out a pouch from his chest. He held it in his hand and kept on looking back and forth between the pill and the pouch.

”Are you worried if this pill will be as effective as I said it would be?” Bai Yun asked, noticing the young man's nervousness.

The young man nodded. He was indeed worried about this. He was worried that the pill might be fake. After all, he hadn't seen a pill like this before.

”In that case, why don't you take the pill here.” Bai Yun suggested. ”You can pay me after the pill works. And if it fails, all the people here can act as your witnesses when you go to the alchemy association.”

The young man looked at Bai Yun for a moment, before he nodded. He then kept his pouch by his side, and opened the pill bottle. As he did so, a refreshing medicinal scent wafted out. The young man took a deep breath and unconsciously smiled. But Bai Yun frowned when he smelled the scent of the pill. From the god of alchemy, he had heard that a true pill would be completely a single product, and it should not have any scent. Bai Yun thought that he still had to go a long way in the alchemy path.

Bai Yun sat back on his chair and calmly watched the young man use the barrier breaking pill. He was fully confident in his abilities and was sure that things would not go wrong.

As time progressed the young man's body started to fill up with impurities. These were the impurities that were pushed out of his body's meridians by the pill.

As the young mans digested the barrier breaking pill, many people from the nearby shops as well as some people walking on the road would occasionally look inside Bai Yun's store. It was not every day that they got to see someone take a barrier breaking pill in an alchemy store in front of them.

There were two reasons Bai Yun decided to let the young man try the barrier breaking pill in his store. One was that he could see that the young man was confused, and he wanted to calm him down.

But there was another reason too. Bai Yun knew that the sight of the young man would inevitably draw in crowds. And seeing how successful the young man was, that would increase their confidence in Bai Yun. Free advertising never hurt anyone.

And time passed by quickly. Nearly an hour later, there was a sudden explosion from where the young man sat. A spiraling wind rose up from where the young man was sitting. Bai Yun smiled when he saw this. Bai Yun knew that this phenomenon was caused due to the young man breaking through to foundation establishment.

A few minutes later the young man opened his eyes wide open. Unmistakable joy could be seen in his eyes. Since he only condensed a single qi spiral instead of two like Bai Yun when he broke through to foundation establishment, it only him a short while to do so. He didn't expect that the barrier breaking pill will not only help him break the barrier, but also break through to the foundation establishment realm in one scoop.

It wasn't just the young man who was surprised. There were many whispered coming from around Bai Yun's store. No one could believe the efficacy of Bai Yun's medicine. Bai Yun simply sat in the middle of all this smiling.

The young man suddenly stood up rapidly and jumped towards Bai Yun with his arms outstretched to hug him. But Bai Yun quickly pulled out his sword and pointed it at the young man. A moment later the young man came to a stop with Bai Yun's sword pointed at his throat.

Seeing the confusion and fear in the young man's eyes, Bai Yun smiled. ”Before you go hug someone, why don't you look at yourself first.”

Hearing this the young man looked down at himself. He then realized that he was covered in the impurities that the barrier breaking pill had pushed out of him. He gave a wry smile when he realized this.
