Near noon, Ye Yiming and Wang Weilong walked out of the He Mansion.

“Hahaha! Fifty million taels of gold! We’re rich! We’re rich!”

Ever since taking that stack of gold notes from He Dewen, Wang Weilong hadn’t stopped grinning foolishly, making Ye Yiming quite speechless. Had he known this would happen, he wouldn’t have brought him along—this was utterly embarrassing.

“Slurp!” Wang Weilong wiped the drool from his mouth and touched the gold notes in his pocket again. Looking at Ye Yiming with some confusion, he asked, “Cousin, we had one hundred and fifty million but only got fifty million, plus those ginsengs and other medicinal herbs in your hand. Didn’t we lose out?”

Did they lose out?

Ye Yiming thought back to his deal with He Dewen. Looking at the bundle in his hand, he couldn’t help but laugh.

The bundle in Ye Yiming’s hand contained nothing but some ginseng and herbs. But with these ginsengs, plus an 80% discount at all He family shops in the future, he exchanged for one hundred million taels of gold. At first glance, it seemed like Ye Yiming was at a loss, but these ginsengs were no ordinary ginsengs.

Ye Yiming’s bundle contained eleven ginseng roots, ten of which were thousand-year-old ginseng, and the last one was an extremely rare ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king!

* Thousand-year-old ginseng: 1000 years old, 100 cultivation points.

* Ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king: 10,000 years old, 1000 cultivation points.

These were just some of the herbs. The He family traded one hundred thousand-year-old ginsengs and five ten-thousand-year-old ginseng kings with Ye Yiming for one hundred million taels of gold! What Ye Yiming held was just a part of it; the rest He Dewen promised to deliver to the Guogong Mansion within three days.

At first glance, these herbs seemed far from being worth one hundred million taels of gold. A hundred-year-old ginseng on the market was only about a hundred or two hundred taels of gold. Although a thousand-year-old ginseng was precious, it was worth only about fifty thousand taels, at most a hundred thousand taels. A hundred ginsengs were at most ten million.

Even a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng king, though extremely precious, was worth about ten million. Five such ginseng kings would be fifty million. Adding the hundred thousand-year-old ginsengs worth ten million, it would only be sixty million, far from one hundred million!

Ye Yiming glanced at Wang Weilong, smiled, but did not answer his question. He quickened his pace. Though still puzzled, Wang Weilong felt the weight of the fifty million in his pocket and grinned foolishly again, quickening his steps and no longer questioning Ye Yiming.

Did they really lose out?

...

Back at the Guogong Mansion, Ye Yiming headed straight for his room, skipping lunch. Once in his room, he went straight to the two large wooden boxes containing the herbs and began furiously inspecting them.

Soon, Ye Yiming selected some herbs from the remaining stock. On closer inspection, one would find that none of the herbs in Ye Yiming’s hand were less than three hundred years old; all were over three hundred years old.

Fortunately, for the advanced warrior pills he previously refined, Ye Yiming had started with the lower-aged herbs. The remaining herbs were all relatively older.

After preparing these herbs, Ye Yiming carefully took out one of the thousand-year-old ginsengs from the ones brought from the He family, then put all the herbs into the alchemy furnace and started refining. However, this time, he wasn’t refining advanced warrior pills but super warrior pills!

Super warrior pills were upgraded versions of warrior pills. After Ye Yiming had refined numerous warrior pills, the system suddenly notified him yesterday morning that by refining the same pill multiple times, he had triggered a pill formula upgrade and obtained the super warrior pill formula.

* Super warrior pill: High-grade human-level pill, with four grades: low, medium, high, and supreme, for advanced warriors, human-level warriors, earth-level warriors, and heaven-level warriors, respectively. Effects similar to warrior pills but without the side effects. (Cultivation points vary by pill grade)

Seeing the attributes of the super warrior pill, Ye Yiming was naturally excited. However, the herbs required for the super warrior pill, although similar to those for the warrior pill, needed to be at least three hundred years old, and the main ingredient, ginseng, had to be a thousand-year-old ginseng.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Due to a lack of herbs and yesterday’s challenge, Ye Yiming hadn’t had the chance to refine the super warrior pills. He had planned to buy some thousand-year-old ginseng from the herb store on his way back to refine the super warrior pills.

But unexpectedly, after yesterday’s challenge, a series of events occurred. Particularly, after using Blood God Possession, Ye Yiming had consumed thirty percent of his blood, causing him to sleep from the moment he returned to the Guogong Mansion until this morning. Naturally, he hadn’t prepared the herbs for the super warrior pills.

What Ye Yiming didn’t expect was that just when he was worrying about the thousand-year-old ginseng for the super warrior pills, the He family had solved the problem for him.

While the herb store sold thousand-year-old ginseng, the store usually priced it according to rarity. It was impossible for Ye Yiming to purchase a large amount of thousand-year-old ginseng on his own, unless he was a heaven-level powerhouse, which he wasn’t.

It was like being given a pillow when you’re sleepy!

The He family were really good people! Not only did they solve the problem of the thousand-year-old ginseng, but they also included five ten-thousand-year-old ginsengs. Truly, the He family were great folks!

The longer the herbs had grown, the higher the grade of the pills refined!

These thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old ginsengs could probably only be quickly collected by the He family, the wealthiest family in Tianyang. Adding the 20% discount and the option to request specified herbs worth ten million each month, how could Ye Yiming be at a loss?

Thinking of this, Ye Yiming sighed again and mentally gave the He family a good citizen card.

At that moment, a system notification snapped Ye Yiming out of his reverie.

“System notification: Congratulations to the host for successfully refining medicine! You have obtained five low-grade super warrior pills and one medium-grade super warrior pill! Alchemy proficiency increased by 20 points.”

* Low-grade super warrior pill: High-grade human-level pill. After consumption, an ordinary person can become an advanced warrior, 1000 cultivation points.

* Medium-grade super warrior pill: High-grade human-level pill. After consumption, an advanced warrior can become a human-level warrior, 10,000 cultivation points.

The unexpected production of a medium-grade super warrior pill delighted Ye Yiming. Seeing the attributes of the super warrior pills, he was even more thrilled.

The super warrior pills were indeed extraordinary!

After another day of intense alchemy, it was early morning the next day.

When Wang Weilong happily came to Ye Yiming’s residence, he was stunned again.

“Cousin, can this super warrior pill really make me a human-level warrior like you said?” Looking at the pill the size of a soybean in his hand, Wang Weilong was incredulous.

“Exactly. This medium-grade super warrior pill can not only elevate you to a human-level warrior but also has no side effects at all. Don’t worry!” Seeing Wang Weilong’s incredulous expression, Ye Yiming couldn’t help but laugh.

With Ye Yiming’s confirmation, Wang Weilong jumped up excitedly, shouting with joy.

“Great! Great! We’re rich again!”

Wang Weilong’s words momentarily stunned Ye Yiming. He had thought Wang Weilong was excited about becoming a human-level warrior, but it turned out he was more thrilled about the potential wealth.

This kid was completely money-minded!

After his initial excitement, Wang Weilong grabbed Ye Yiming’s hand and said excitedly, “Cousin, think about it! If we announce such a pill, how shocking would it be? A warrior pill without side effects, how much could we sell it for? I think this pill could easily sell for thousands!”

Thousands?

Hearing Wang Weilong’s words, Ye Yiming smiled and sighed inwardly. This kid was still too naive, satisfied with just thousands.

Freeing himself from Wang Weilong’s grip, Ye Yiming stood up, picked up a low-grade super warrior pill, looked at it, and then said to Wang Weilong, “Thousands? Even a low-grade super warrior pill should sell for tens of thousands!”

“Tens, tens of thousands?” Ye Yiming’s words left Wang Weilong stunned.

“Fool!” Seeing Wang Weilong’s shocked expression, Ye Yiming flicked his forehead hard and said, “Can’t you think straight? This super warrior pill has no side effects, meaning one can continue to cultivate and break through after taking it. Think, if someone becomes a human-level warrior at ten years old, what would their cultivation level be at twenty?”

Seeing Wang Weilong’s dawning comprehension, Ye Yiming smiled wickedly and continued, “Besides, in Tianyang City, how many of those rich young masters can reach human-level cultivation by twenty? Would their families care about spending some money?”

Ye Yiming stopped there and watched as Wang Weilong’s eyes lit up with realization.

Now Wang Weilong fully understood Ye Yiming’s idea.

A super warrior pill with no side effects, though similar to a warrior pill, was far more valuable!

Those with money and status would be more than willing to buy a few of these pills. After all, those rich families always hope their children will reach great heights, and the super warrior pill was their best choice!

Tens of thousands?

Perhaps more!

These rich people wouldn’t care about the price at all!

“Cousin! You’re brilliant!” After fully comprehending the value of the super warrior pill, Wang Weilong almost jumped up and shouted excitedly, “Tens of thousands? Hmph, in my opinion, a hundred thousand wouldn’t be too much!”

Ye Yiming’s eyes also sparkled with excitement. A hundred thousand? If they really sold at that price, wouldn’t he be super rich?

Thinking about this, Ye Yiming immediately turned to Wang Weilong and said, “That’s settled then. Tomorrow, I’ll take the low-grade super warrior pill to the auction house for sale. I’ll leave the medium-grade super warrior pill to you. Take it and quickly become a human-level warrior!”

As Ye Yiming spoke, he handed the medium-grade super warrior pill to Wang Weilong. Holding the pill, Wang Weilong’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

Human-level warrior!

We’re rich!

Thinking about it, Wang Weilong hurriedly put the pill into his mouth. In an instant, a powerful energy surged through his body.
