"Grade One Pills."
"Recovery Pill: It has an excellent healing effect on patients with nonfatal, non-disabling injuries. Even injuries to the internal organs will show significant improvement in a short time."
"Hui Chun Pill: Quickly restores Soul Power. One pill restores about a third of the Soul Power of a two-ring Soul Master."
"Xuli Pill: The user's strength increases by 10% for fifteen minutes.
Drawback: It causes three days of weakness."
As Wang Dong finished reading, the surprise in her eyes grew more and more apparent.
Next came the prices of the pills.
They ranged from 200 to 800 Gold Soul Coins.
For pills like these, the prices were as low as they could possibly be.
But Wang Dong soon came to her senses. She turned around again and stared straight at Huo Yuhao.
"Hey, are these pills real?"
At the same time, everyone present came to their senses and looked at Huo Yuhao with scrutiny.
There were two reasons: first, the prices were far too low; second, the effects were simply too good.
Take the pills that quickly restored Soul Power, for example.
They didn't exist on Douluo Continent.
The reason was simple. To quickly restore Soul Power, most people used Soul Tools that stored Soul Power, commonly known as Milk Bottles.
As for Recovery Pills, they were specifically for treating injuries.
As far as everyone knew, the Mystic Water Pill from the Mysterious Underworld Sect could both increase Soul Power and heal injuries.
But aside from that, pills with healing effects were extremely rare, and their prices were exorbitant. You couldn't buy one without at least seven or eight thousand Gold Soul Coins.
Huo Yuhao hadn't expected Wang Dong to be here, but he didn't have time to ask about it now. He immediately turned to the crowd and answered.
"Everyone, you can try the pills for free and see for yourselves how well they work."
"For details on the process, please ask the assistant at my pill shop."
As Huo Yuhao spoke, he pointed to someone nearby.
It was none other than Bai Feng, whom Huo Yuhao had temporarily called over. She was now in charge of selling the pills.
Bai Feng didn't hesitate. Smiling at the crowd, she began directing everyone to line up and try the pills.
The trial session soon grew lively.
Wang Dong naturally took a pill that quickly restored Soul Power.
It was brown. She brought it close to her nose and caught a faint, sweet fragrance.
Without hesitation, she swallowed it.
A short while later, Wang Dong's eyes lit up. She went back over to Huo Yuhao and said, "Huo Yuhao, this Hui Chun Pill really works, and I can't feel any side effects."
Huo Yuhao nodded.
Of course it had no side effects. The system had properly provided the Hui Chun Pill. One bottle could be exchanged for 1,000 points, and each bottle contained twenty-five pills, which came to forty points per pill.
Then Huo Yuhao took out a Hui Chun Pill and ground it into powder. He asked Bai Feng to buy some basic medicinal herbs that were good for the body, such as ginseng and fleeceflower root. The herbs weighed twenty or thirty pounds in all and weren't very expensive.
After that, Huo Yuhao measured and adjusted the ingredients, adding some water and chocolate as he worked.
There were two reasons for using chocolate. First, it improved the taste.
Second, it would leave people puzzled and make it harder for some to identify the other ingredients in the herbs.
Of course, that still wasn't enough for Huo Yuhao. He bought ten pounds of premixed cheap coffee from the shop and stirred it in as well.
The coffee itself didn't matter, but the additives packed quite a punch.
For example, potassium iodate, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, BHA, creamer, lactose, sodium benzoate, and so on.
There were also some minerals and carbohydrates.
In theory, none of these were harmful to the human body—unless you went overboard, in which case they might make you feel dizzy and nauseous.
Given the level of knowledge on Douluo Continent, people would find these added ingredients strange, but they wouldn't be able to figure them out.
All in all, one pill could be used to make about a hundred new pills.
Each of these hundred pills sold for 700 coins, bringing in a total of 70,000 coins.
In other words, forty points could be exchanged for 70,000 coins.
Though this was less profitable than selling sanitary pads, that was only by comparison.
What's more, Huo Yuhao had another reason for doing this.
Once he made a name for himself, he would have a foundation of trust that would let him sell higher-grade pills. Those pills would fetch an incredible price—he wouldn't sell them for less than one or two million coins.
Second, Huo Yuhao wanted to build the Endless Fire Territory.
These pills were one of the key resources he could offer.
"Of course. I'm very good at this," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
Wang Dong didn't argue this time. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "I'm planning to order a lot of these pills."
Huo Yuhao was a little surprised. "What, you want to buy them in bulk?"
Wang Dong answered without hesitation. "Of course. And I want to buy some of all your other pills too, just in case."
Huo Yuhao nodded. After thinking it over, he replied, "Sure, but talk to Bai Feng about it later."
Wang Dong raised an eyebrow. "What, you won't discuss it with me?"
"Of course not. I have other things to do."
Wang Dong was a little surprised. "What things?"
"Obviously, I'm about to break through," Huo Yuhao replied firmly.
Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao again. After sensing his Soul Power, she showed a hint of surprise.
"Huo Yuhao, you were only at level 17 two days ago, when we were in the dorm. How are you already level 19?"
"Now you're planning to break through again. Can your body handle it? You haven't taken some kind of forbidden drug, have you?"
Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. "Why would I take a forbidden drug?"
But then he changed the subject. "There are just some special medicinal herbs that can raise my Soul Power by a few more levels."
Huo Yuhao didn't continue.
He knew his Soul Power would reach level 21 tomorrow.
After all, the quest to have Mu Jin join the Endless Fire Territory would raise his Soul Power by two levels.
Huo Yuhao hadn't had a chance to use the reward since parting with Mu Jin.
Wang Dong would find out soon enough, so there was no need to hide it now.
Wang Dong blinked. "What are you using to raise it?"
Huo Yuhao gave a light cough and put on a mysterious air. "That's a secret."
Wang Dong shot Huo Yuhao an exasperated look.
Huo Yuhao then quietly took two steps back.
At that moment,
he noticed something. Why did Wang Dong keep drifting closer to him every now and then? Had that god king Tang San started using his powers again?
Then,
Huo Yuhao thought it over and asked tentatively, "Hey, Wang Dong, what are you doing here?"
Wang Dong's expression stiffened slightly. Then she gave an awkward cough.
To be honest, she didn't know why, but she just felt like seeing Huo Yuhao.
And last night, for some reason—perhaps because of some mysterious influence—Wang Dong had a strange dream.
In it, she and Huo Yuhao, whom she had shared a dorm room with just once, had shyly slept together.
Even now, remembering how it felt made Wang Dong's face flush and her heart race...
Of course,
Wang Dong would never tell Huo Yuhao about it. She inexplicably glared at him again and began, "..."
