Ye Yiming never expected that the incomplete pill recipe given by Chen Zhihong would be so special. He was stunned for a moment.

This made Chen Zhihong think Ye Yiming was deeply pondering the pill recipe, so he didn't disturb him and instead drank tea with Wang Weilong and Li Xiaodong.

After a while, Ye Yiming finally snapped out of it when he heard a system prompt in his ear.

"System Prompt: Do you want to spend 1 skill point to repair the incomplete special pill recipe?"

Repair it! Of course, it must be repaired!

Not to mention anything else, just the word "special" in the pill recipe made Ye Yiming feel it must be repaired. Because, in Ye Yiming's view, anything labeled as special is definitely good! Moreover, the system itself suggested that he repair the pill recipe.

In this situation, if he didn't repair it, wouldn't he be a fool?

"System Prompt: Host used 1 skill point to repair the incomplete special pill recipe. It will take one hour."

Seeing his 5 skill points drop to 4, Ye Yiming felt a pang of heartache.

Sigh, only 4 skill points left! Why can't skill points be increased? I hope this special pill recipe lives up to the word "special"!

Knowing from the system prompt that it would take an hour to repair the pill recipe, Ye Yiming stopped focusing on it and started chatting with Chen Zhihong.

After talking with Chen Zhihong for a while, Ye Yiming learned why Chen Zhihong was willing to spend a fortune on the pill. It all boiled down to one word: love.

Chen Zhihong spent thirty million to buy the top-grade Super Martial Pill from Ye Yiming because of an agreement with his fiancée.

Chen Zhihong's fiancée, Yang Ke'er, had a cute name and a sweet, adorable appearance. However, being born into a martial arts family, her temper didn't match her looks and name at all.

Although Yang Ke'er was quite fond of Chen Zhihong, she had a stubborn nature and insisted that Chen Zhihong had to defeat her in a fight before they could get married. Unfortunately, Yang Ke'er, though not a genius, had far better talent than Chen Zhihong, who was more like a frail scholar.

To motivate Chen Zhihong, Yang Ke'er made an agreement with him to fight every three months. As Chen Zhihong's defeats piled up, Yang Ke'er's demands lowered from defeating her to just being her equal.

Even so, with Chen Zhihong being only at the early human level and Yang Ke'er at the later human level, he was still far from meeting her requirements.

With only four or five days left until their next match, Chen Zhihong, prepared to accept another defeat, suddenly heard about the miraculous effects of the Super Martial Pill. Naturally, he rushed to participate in the auction. Seeing Li Xiaodong break through to the earth level excited Chen Zhihong even more, prompting him to bid aggressively.

Even with twenty-five million in cash, Chen Zhihong couldn't win a top-grade Super Martial Pill at the auction. Fortunately, Ye Yiming sold him an extra pill, otherwise, he would have had to wait another three months. This made Chen Zhihong extremely grateful to Ye Yiming.

As Chen Zhihong clasped his hands together, looking excited, Ye Yiming finally understood.

No wonder this guy was so desperate, spending thirty million on a pill now instead of waiting for the second auction in ten days. He was being pressured by his fiancée!

After chatting with Ye Yiming for a while, Chen Zhihong hurriedly left.

Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!

Chen Zhihong probably couldn't wait to take the pill, break through his level, and assert his authority.

Once Chen Zhihong left, Wang Weilong couldn't wait to ask Ye Yiming, "Cousin, why did you reject Chen Zhihong's thirty million offer just now and only ask for half the price? That's fifteen million taels of gold! How could you just let it go?"

Wang Weilong pounded his chest in frustration, looking at Ye Yiming as if he wouldn't let it go until he got an answer. Even Li Xiaodong didn't understand Ye Yiming's actions, looking at him with confusion.

Seeing their expressions, Ye Yiming chuckled and said, "This is called celebrity endorsement, you know?"

Celebrity endorsement?

Wang Weilong and Li Xiaodong looked at each other, then shook their heads and said in unison, "We don't get it!"

Seeing their confused faces, Ye Yiming scoffed, "Hmph, with your IQ, it's no wonder you don't understand."

Ye Yiming's undisguised disdain made Wang Weilong and Li Xiaodong feel a bit embarrassed. Li Xiaodong scratched his head with a guilty expression, while Wang Weilong fawningly said to Ye Yiming, "Haha! We're a bit slow, Cousin, can you explain what this celebrity endorsement is?"

"Celebrity endorsement, it's celebrity endorsement!"

Ye Yiming gave Wang Weilong a look of frustration and continued, "Actually, this so-called celebrity endorsement is just me getting Chen Zhihong to help with promotion."

Promotion?

Without the explanation, Wang Weilong was even more confused.

Seeing his puzzled look, Ye Yiming shook his head and said, "Fine, I'll explain it so you can understand. Celebrity endorsement means after Chen Zhihong takes the pill and breaks through to the earth level, he should show off a bit. With his status, it will clearly demonstrate the power of our Super Martial Pill, right? As the saying goes, seeing is believing. With Chen Zhihong as a billboard, do you think people will still doubt it?"

After saying this, Ye Yiming glanced at Wang Weilong and then picked up his teacup to sip slowly.

With this explanation, Wang Weilong finally understood what celebrity endorsement meant. Although Li Xiaodong had been a precedent, he was relatively low-key compared to Chen Zhihong, who was a public figure.

With Chen Zhihong's status, everyone would know about him. If he broke through to the earth level because of the Super Martial Pill, wouldn't that clearly show its effects? In that case, would they still worry about the Super Martial Pill not selling at a high price?

Understanding this, Wang Weilong admired Ye Yiming even more.

"Haha! As expected of my cousin, you're amazing. To come up with such a great idea. I'm really impressed."

Seeing Wang Weilong's joy, Ye Yiming was about to put down his teacup to say something when the system's two prompts interrupted him, plunging Ye Yiming into a state of ecstasy.

"System Prompt: Incomplete special pill recipe repair completed."

"System Prompt: Congratulations to the host for obtaining the recipe for the special Refining Pill."

Refining Pill: A special pill that can refine impurities from the body for both humans and beasts. It can also negate any negative effects from previous pill consumption. Adding the Refining Pill to alchemy or crafting can purify materials, increase success rates, and produce more powerful pills and equipment.

Special Note: Since the host has no negative effects from pill consumption, taking a Refining Pill with any other pill will allow the host to absorb all cultivation points from the pill at once. Given the host's current condition, one Refining Pill can be taken per month.

Refining impurities from the body? Increasing success rates in alchemy and crafting?

Both of these effects are incredible. They certainly deserve the label of "special." But what excited Ye Yiming the most was the special note!

Absorbing all cultivation points from a pill at once?

Doesn't that mean if he has the Refining Pill and a top-grade Super Martial Pill, he could immediately upgrade to the heaven level?

Thinking about this, Ye Yiming's heart was pounding with excitement!

At this moment, Ye Yiming wished he could immediately take a Refining Pill, then swallow a top-grade Super Martial Pill and soar to the heaven level, eventually becoming invincible.

Unfortunately, he didn't have either the top-grade Super Martial Pill or the special Refining Pill. He was missing some ingredients for the former, and he had just obtained the recipe for the latter. Despite this, Ye Yiming was still thrilled.

In his excitement, Ye Yiming didn't realize that his posture—frozen in the act of putting down his teacup when the system prompts interrupted him—looked extremely unique, or rather, very strange.

This worried Wang Weilong, who reached out to shake Ye Yiming, "Cousin! Cousin! Cousin!"

After calling out three times, Wang Weilong finally woke Ye Yiming from his daze. Blinking in confusion, Ye Yiming asked, "Hmm, what's up?"

Wang Weilong, worried, said, "Cousin, are you alright?"

Ye Yiming fully woke up this time. Realizing his earlier behavior, he blushed and quickly laughed it off.

"Haha! I'm hungry. I'm heading home for some food. You guys keep drinking!" With that, Ye Yiming ran off and soon disappeared.

Wang Weilong and Li Xiaodong, still at the tea table, were left stunned and confused, looking at each other, unable to understand what just happened.
