45: Chapter 45 On-site Testing of Elixir

About five minutes later, the two people on stage underwent a change. Some observant people were surprised to discover that their bodies seemed to have straightened up quite a bit, no longer hunched.

Next, a large amount of Impurities seeped out from their bodies, directly covering Zhou Tiancheng and Julie's faces completely. The crowd was also very shocked to see this scene.

However, they were not afraid, because the Young Miss had already explained earlier that after taking the youth-preserving pill, the Impurities within the body would be expelled.

Because so many Impurities were overflowing from their bodies, an unpleasant odor was emitted. Besides that, their bones were also growing rapidly, constantly emitting crisp cracking sounds; it was simply like a magic trick.

Considering this outcome, the clothes worn by Zhou Tiancheng and the other person were relatively loose and elastic, so no matter how their body shapes changed, it wouldn't be too obvious.

The changes lasted for nearly twenty minutes. Although they had waited so long, the crowd didn't say anything; they just wanted to know the final result.

Although he didn't know if his body had become younger, Zhou Tiancheng could clearly feel that his physical state was much stronger than before.

This symbolized that his dignity as a man had returned to his body, and in the future, he could once again begin the long-desired blissful life he had yearned for.

Feeling that the changes were complete, Zhou Tiancheng and Julie came to the water basin to wash off the Impurities on their faces. Touching their own smooth and elastic skin, even though the two were mentally prepared, they were still very excited.

Especially Julie; as a woman, watching her beauty fade away while being helpless, the heartbreak was imaginable. Now that she could restore the beauty of her youth, she could wake up laughing even in her dreams.

After washing up, the two looked at each other. Seeing their young selves, the two were stunned. In that instant, they fell in love again, just like thirty-some years ago when they first met, love at first sight.

Then, the two took out the small mirrors they had prepared in advance from their pockets. Looking at themselves in the mirrors, both were lost in thought.

"What a familiar yet strange face this is. Handsomeness and beauty, you have finally returned."

Sighing in their hearts, Zhou Tiancheng and Julie raised their heads simultaneously, facing the audience below the stage.

"This... I'm not dreaming, am I? Does such a magical Medicinal Pill really exist in this world? Could those two have been wearing human skin masks earlier?"

"How is this possible? The whole process was completed under our watchful eyes. It wasn't just their appearance that changed; their body's bones and muscles have also recovered to a youthful state."

...

The audience below was silent for a dozen seconds, then suddenly a loud voice rang out: "I must buy a youth-preserving pill, no matter how much it costs, it doesn't matter."

This sentence was like a spark falling onto cotton, instantly igniting a raging fire. Although the auction hadn't started yet, and the starting price of the Medicinal Pill hadn't been announced, the crowd below had already begun to bid and compete.

"I bid ten million!" "I bid twenty million!" "Fifty million!" "Eighty million!" "One hundred million!" "Three hundred million!" ...

Everyone didn't know how much this youth-preserving pill was worth. After all, it had never been auctioned before, so there was no precedent. They only knew it must be very expensive, so in just over a dozen seconds, it had already been bid up to three hundred million.

"Everyone, please wait a moment. The auction has not yet started. This is just the medicinal testing phase. We still have several kinds of Medicinal Pills that need to be tested on-site. Once all the Medicinal Pills have been tested, we can proceed with the auction." Zhou Tiancheng stopped the excited crowd.

"There's no need, Patriarch Zhou. Since such a magical youth-preserving pill is real, how could the other Medicinal Pills be fake? Let's just hurry up and auction them." "Exactly, just state a starting price and we can bid. We trust the reputation of the Zhou Family." "That's right, that's right, let's hurry up and proceed with the auction." ...

The crowd, who had just been skeptical about the Medicinal Pills, were all convinced by the magical effects of the youth-preserving pill. In their view, if a Medicinal Pill like the youth-preserving pill that defied natural laws could exist, then wasn't it reasonable for other Medicinal Pills to exist too?

"This... everyone, please don't get excited. The auction has its own procedures. Just wait patiently; it won't take too long. This is also to give everyone an explanation. After all, auctioning Medicinal Pills is not like auctioning cabbages."

Although they knew the other party was the head of the Zhou Family, they were really not used to seeing such a young head of the Zhou Family, and the sense of awe in their hearts seemed to have diminished a lot.

Seeing such a young Zhou Tiancheng acting in an old-fashioned manner, the crowd felt it was a bit comical, but their reason reminded them that they absolutely must not laugh.

"Alright, then let's hurry up and test the medicine." The crowd had to compromise. The Zhou Family was organizing the auction, so they could only follow the arrangements.

"Alright, next is the body tempering pill for improving Physique and enhancing Cultivate talent. There are three types of body tempering pills: Low Grade, Medium Grade, and Advanced. The higher the Rank, the better the effect."

After the Young Miss finished speaking, Zhou Yunlong walked up to the auction stage from the back and then took the microphone from the Young Miss's hand.

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Yunlong, and I am the eldest son of the Zhou Family. What I am testing today is the Advanced body tempering pill. However, the effect of this body tempering pill is to improve Physique and tap into human potential. This is a long-term effect and might not have a great visual effect, but the body tempering pill can also expel Impurities from the human body, which is something that can be seen."

Zhou Yunlong didn't want to waste time either. After a brief introduction, he directly swallowed the Advanced body tempering pill.

A few minutes later, intense pain came from his body. Although it was very painful, he could clearly feel his bones, muscles, and Meridians being strengthened, and Impurities were also constantly being expelled from his body.

Boom! Suddenly, Zhou Yunlong felt his body shake, followed by wild joy. He had actually broken through from the Internal Strength Middle Stage to the Internal Strength Late Stage. It was simply too satisfying.

Sensing the changes in the True Qi around Zhou Yunlong, the crowd was shocked. Could this body tempering pill actually help people Breakthrough?

"Everyone, please be quiet. This body tempering pill itself does not have the effect of helping people Breakthrough, but some people have already accumulated enough True Qi in their bodies, and it is only because their Physique is too weak that they have been unable to Breakthrough. After taking the body tempering pill, such people do have a certain probability of breaking through their current Rank, and the more Advanced the body tempering pill, the greater the probability of helping people Breakthrough."

Zhou Tiancheng was introducing it from the side. Seeing his son Breakthrough to the Internal Strength Late Stage, he was also very happy.

"I want the Advanced body tempering pill. I feel like I am about to Breakthrough." "I want one too, no matter the cost. I want to help my son improve his Cultivate talent." ...

Seeing the crowd below fall into chaos again, Zhou Tiancheng felt helpless. Holding a Medicinal Pill auction was truly not easy. If it weren't for the experts of their Zhou Family maintaining order here, I'm afraid these people would have already rushed onto the auction stage to snatch the Medicinal Pills.

"Everyone, quiet. Next is the on-site testing of the breakthrough pill. The breakthrough pill can help Martial Artists at the External Strength Great Perfection Breakthrough to Internal Strength. The Medicinal Pill is divided into four types: Low Grade, Medium Grade, Advanced, and Ultimate. The Low Grade breakthrough pill has a 50% probability of Breakthrough, the Medium Grade breakthrough pill is 70%, the Advanced breakthrough pill is 90%, and the Ultimate breakthrough pill is a 100% Breakthrough. However, the Ultimate breakthrough pill is too difficult to refine, and currently, the Zhou Family does not have any Ultimate breakthrough pills for auction. But even the Low Grade breakthrough pill can have a probability as high as 50%, and even if the Breakthrough fails, there will not be any side effects. Everyone can bid with peace of mind."
