At that moment, as the rich medicinal fragrance, nearly tangible in its density, spread through the Reception Hall, Xia Wanjin and Xuan Su's eyes instantly lit up.

Both were seasoned veterans who dealt with all kinds of rare treasures year-round, naturally possessing sharp eyes and keen noses.

With just one breath of that fragrance, they could feel the Origin Power that had lain dormant within them becoming noticeably more active, while their spirits were invigorated.

"What an incredibly rich pill fragrance!"

Xia Wanjin could not help taking a deep breath. He stared fixedly at the Jade Bottle in Liu Yuan's hand, his voice trembling slightly. "Brother Liu Yuan, is this... is this the pill you refined?"

Although Xuan Su had previously reported that Liu Yuan knew how to refine pills, knowing how to refine pills and being able to produce top-grade pills were entirely different matters.

Fragrance of this caliber could never come from an ordinary low-grade pill.

And Liu Yuan actually intended to use such precious pills as a gift of thanks?

At that moment, Xia Wanjin and Xuan Su exchanged a glance, each seeing deep shock in the other's eyes.

Seeing their expressions, Liu Yuan secretly chuckled, though he calmly pushed the two Jade Bottles in his hand to the center of the table.

"President Xia, Sister Xuan Su, these are the gifts I promised in return."

Liu Yuan pointed at one of the slightly larger Jade Bottles and introduced it.

"This contains Body Tempering Pills, twenty in total."

"Body Tempering Pills?" Xia Wanjin paused, somewhat puzzled. "These pills are quite common on the market, but..."

Before he could finish, Liu Yuan interrupted him with a smile.

"Those inferior products on the market naturally cannot compare to what I refine."

Liu Yuan's tone carried powerful confidence.

"My Body Tempering Pills are gentle yet potent. Not only can they improve the cultivation efficiency of Body Tempering Realm Martial Artists severalfold, but more importantly, they leave behind virtually no pill toxins or side effects. Even if taken continuously, they will not harm one's foundation in the slightest."

"What?!"

Xuan Su cried out in shock, covering her Red Lips with a delicate hand, her face full of disbelief.

Several times greater efficiency?

No side effects?

For any faction, this was an irresistible temptation!

After all, the prosperity of a clan depended on a steady stream of fresh blood. As the foundation of martial cultivation, the Body Tempering Realm was often the most time-consuming and arduous stage.

If the younger generation of a clan could shorten their body-tempering period without leaving behind hidden dangers, what would that mean?

It meant they could challenge the Earth Origin Realm at a younger age and achieve even greater things in the future!

This was practically a divine medicine for mass-producing geniuses!

However, before they could recover from the shock of the Body Tempering Pills, Liu Yuan pointed at the other, slightly smaller Jade Bottle and dropped an even more explosive bombshell.

"As for this bottle, it is called the Earth Origin Pill. There are fewer of them, only five."

"Its effect is very simple."

Liu Yuan paused, his gaze sweeping over their stiff faces as he spoke indifferently.

"It can allow a Martial Artist at the Body Tempering Realm Ninth Peak to advance directly into the Earth Origin Realm without encountering any bottleneck."

Boom!

Their minds went blank in an instant. Only the words "no bottleneck" and "advance directly" continued to echo wildly in their heads.

How... how could that be possible?!

The step from the Body Tempering Realm to the Earth Origin Realm was the first great hurdle in martial cultivation. Countless people had been stuck at this threshold for years, even decades, unable to make any progress before dying in frustration.

Yet now, Liu Yuan was telling them that taking a single pill would allow one to ignore that threshold altogether?

"Brother... Brother Liu Yuan, is that truly so?"

Xia Wanjin abruptly rose to his feet, his gaze burning with fervor.

If this Earth Origin Pill truly possessed such miraculous effects, then its value... was simply incalculable!

"President Xia, do you think I have any reason to deceive you over such a matter?"

Liu Yuan lifted his teacup and took a sip, his expression leisurely.

"No, no, no! I meant no such thing!"

Xia Wanjin hastily waved his hands, his face covered with a fawning smile.

"I was merely... too shocked. Truly too shocked!"

He carefully held the two Jade Bottles as though they were priceless treasures, then solemnly bowed deeply to Liu Yuan.

"Brother Liu Yuan, this gift is far too precious! On behalf of the Myriad Gold Merchant Association, I thank you for your generosity!"

Xuan Su also gave a graceful bow beside him. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with gratitude and admiration.

"You are both too polite. This is merely an exchange of courtesies."

Liu Yuan waved his hand, showing no pride over the matter.

Afterward, he chatted with them for a while longer. Although Xia Wanjin strongly urged him to stay for a banquet, Liu Yuan was preoccupied with his upcoming cultivation plans and politely declined.

After seeing Liu Yuan off, Xia Wanjin and Xuan Su remained standing at the entrance for a long time, still unable to recover their senses.

"President..."

Xuan Su looked in the direction Liu Yuan had departed, her voice somewhat distant.

"Did we... truly stumble upon a treasure this time?"

"A treasure?"

Xia Wanjin took a deep breath, gripping the Jade Bottles in his hands tightly. His eyes shone with unprecedented ambition and brilliance.

"No, we have latched onto a towering tree!"

"From now on, we must continue serving this young lord well. We must earn even more of his friendship!"

After returning to the Secluded Bamboo Garden.

Liu Yuan did not rush to rest. Instead, he immediately plunged into the Quiet Room and began a new round of pill refinement.

"It is finally time to begin..."

Liu Yuan sat cross-legged atop a cushion. With a flip of his palm, the Extreme Cold Ice Spirit Fruit, emanating dense icy energy, along with several other medicinal ingredients of extreme cold attributes, appeared before him.

This time, he intended to refine the Ice Cold Fiend Control Pill, a pill capable of suppressing the eruption of the Demonic Body within Qing Tan and even helping her control her Fiend Qi!

Liu Yuan had always taken Qing Tan's affairs very seriously.

Since the little girl was his woman, Liu Yuan naturally devoted himself to treating her well.

He had truly prepared for a long time in order to help her control her constitution.

"Rise!"

Liu Yuan shouted softly. Vast Spiritual Power surged out in an instant, forming an invisible pill furnace that enveloped all the medicinal ingredients.

Immediately afterward, a blazing flame of Spiritual Power rose and began refining the ingredients.

This refinement process was far more complicated than the previous Body Tempering Pills and Earth Origin Pills.

After all, the Ice Cold Fiend Control Pill was intended for a special constitution. Its medicinal properties were extremely difficult to balance, and the slightest mistake could cause the furnace to explode.

Fortunately, the entire refining process passed without incident.

About two days later.

Buzz!

As a strange fluctuation spread forth, the invisible pill furnace suddenly gave a Sudden Tremor. Immediately afterward, an extreme chill erupted, causing the temperature of the entire Quiet Room to plummet. A thin layer of frost even formed across the ground.

Liu Yuan reacted swiftly. With a sweep of his hand, several crystalline pills emitting a faint blue glow shot out and were steadily collected into a Cold Jade bottle he had prepared beforehand.

"It is done."

Looking at the pills in the Jade Bottle, which resembled icy pearls, Liu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

With this, Qing Tan would be able to fully awaken and gain control over her Demonic Body.

After carefully putting away the Cold Jade bottle, Liu Yuan did not immediately set off for Qing Yang Town.

Sharpening the knife would not delay the chopping of wood.

He was now only one final step away from completing the Demonic Body.

And he had already gathered the most important Fiend Ghost Yin Soul Grass.

Naturally, there was no reason for him to stop at this crucial final step.

"Phew..."

Liu Yuan slowly exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi, adjusted his condition, and his gaze became incomparably firm.

"Since everything is ready, I will strike while the iron is hot and completely cultivate this Demonic Body!"
