Longevity Pill Recipe

At the top of the building were three large characters: Dragon Phoenix Hall, set above an emblem of a dragon and a phoenix.

The emblem had been designed by Gu Yue Na: a Flame Phoenix and a silver dragon facing each other in mid-flight, symbolizing soaring through the nine heavens, free and unrestrained.

On the day the building was completed, everyone moved in. Yun Ze, Gu Yue Na, Di Tian, and the other higher-ups lived on the ninth floor. The others were assigned to the fourth through eighth floors according to their strength and race, each with their own private room. Large conference rooms had been built on every floor from the fourth to the ninth. The ninth-floor conference room was the smallest, but it was also the most important. That night, crystal chandeliers illuminated the ninth-floor conference room, which was only a little over a hundred square meters, as brightly as day. The furnishings remained simple: a rectangular table, specially made metal chairs, and several potted plants. Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na sat at the head of the table, while Di Tian, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and Bear Lord sat along its sides.

Ten Thousand Demons King and Demon Spirit had taken several soul beasts into the mountains and marshes to search for spiritual treasures. They only returned once a month.

Although there were still some soul beasts over a Hundred Thousand Year old, they were not qualified to attend this sort of meeting. "Bi Ji, how much money do we have left?" Yun Ze asked, looking at Bi Ji. "The building purchase, renovations, and recent spending on medicinal herbs came to nearly 1.75 billion. We have around 60 million Federal Currency left in the account."

Bi Ji had said this because they originally could have had nearly 200 million left, but Yun Ze had asked her to transfer 130 million, causing their balance to plummet. "I have another 40 million Federal Currency or so. I'll transfer it all to you later. Once you have a full 100 million Federal Currency, transfer it to this account."

Yun Ze took a white card bearing a string of numbers from his Storage Ring and slid it across the table to Bi Ji. Bi Ji accepted the card. After hesitating for a moment, she could not help asking, "Young Master, if we transfer all this money, then what about afterward...?"

"Don't worry. The money we invest next will return a hundredfold, a thousandfold. We won't go bankrupt," Yun Ze said with a smile. "Young Master, may I ask what your plans are?" Bi Ji asked excitedly. She had managed their finances for the past few years and knew that making money in the human world was not easy. Now that Yun Ze claimed they would earn back their investment a hundred or even a thousand times over, her curiosity was immediately piqued. She desperately wanted to know how they would make it back. "That is exactly what I was about to discuss," Yun Ze said. "The account on that card belongs to the Sun Moon Auction House, the Federation's largest auction organization. The 100 million I want you to transfer is their promotional fee."

"A promotional fee?" Other than Gu Yue Na, everyone else was puzzled. Did establishing a faction require promotion? Yun Ze seemed to know what they were thinking and explained, "What I want them to promote is neither Dragon Phoenix Hall nor Medicine King Pavilion, but the Longevity Pill I am about to refine."

"If Dragon Phoenix Hall is to develop rapidly in a short time, it needs sufficient funds and exposure. To obtain those, we must rely on the Longevity Pill."

Bi Ji, Di Tian, and the others listened intently. "As the name suggests, a Longevity Pill is a pill that extends a person's lifespan. Tomorrow, I will begin pill refining. I plan to refine five Hundred Year Longevity Pills for auction."

"The refining process is expected to take three or four days. During that time, the auction house can promote them across the entire continent. By the time the pills are ready, the news will already have spread throughout the continent."

"The official auction will be held ten days from now. That will also be the day Medicine King Pavilion and the forge officially open."

Having people promote the pills before he had even begun refining them—he was probably the only one who dared do such a thing. After all, if the refinement failed or the effects fell short of expectations, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Of course, he dared to do this because he was absolutely certain he could refine pills that extended one's lifespan by a hundred years. There would be no mistakes. The Sun Moon Auction House was not foolish either. Under normal circumstances, it would never dare promote an auction without first seeing the actual item. The reason it was willing to help Yun Ze promote it was that it had taken a huge risk, and it only dared accept this auction because of Gu Ming's reputation. As for why Gu Ming was willing to guarantee Yun Ze, it was because Yun Ze had promised him a Longevity Pill. If the Longevity Pill proved ineffective, Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na would both serve Sun Moon Royal Academy for the rest of their lives. Only such terms had made him willing to personally guarantee them. In Gu Ming's eyes, Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na were both future superpowerhouses destined to reach the Limit. What did it matter if he lost a little reputation for their sake? Besides, if the Longevity Pill was real, he could live another hundred years. He could not resist such temptation. In short, whether the Longevity Pill was genuine or not, he stood to gain without risk. That was why he had agreed without hesitation when Yun Ze asked him to guarantee it. Yun Ze, meanwhile, needed Gu Ming's influence to spread news of the Longevity Pill throughout the continent. Each was getting what they needed.

Compared with the benefits brought by spreading news of the Longevity Pill across the continent, gifting that one pill was nothing at all.

"Make your preparations over the next few days. Put the pills and forged metals on the shelves," Yun Ze said.

Bi Ji and Bear Lord nodded.

"Bi Ji, this is the recipe for the One Year Longevity Pill. Learn to refine it as quickly as possible." Yun Ze took out two sheets of paper covered in writing and placed them on the table.

Bi Ji used Soul Power to draw the recipe into her hands. After giving it a rough look, she immediately felt pressured.

This Longevity Pill was clearly more difficult to refine than the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Breakthrough Pill. The process was complicated, and it would be difficult to master.

"The recipe for a single year of lifespan is already this difficult. Then the hundred-year one... how difficult must that be?" Bi Ji said in shock.

Yun Ze smiled lightly. "Once your pill refining reaches a higher level, you won't find it difficult."

"You need to refine this pill carefully. Whether Medicine King Pavilion can earn a billion a day, or even more, will depend on it."

"A billion a day?" Bi Ji's eyes widened. She stared at the recipe in her hands in disbelief. "Young Master, is this pill really worth that much? One year of lifespan... doesn't seem like much."

"For us soul beasts, one year of lifespan truly is nothing. But to humans with their short lives, one extra year is more precious than a fortune."

"If those wealthy people who are on their last legs learn of a pill that extends their lives by a year, they would not even blink when paying a billion for it."

"Refining a few of these Longevity Pills every day will make us rich beyond measure," Gu Yue Na said.

She had been beside Yun Ze when he went to see Gu Ming. On the way back, she had specifically asked him about the Longevity Pill and realized just how terrifying its money-making potential was.

The Spirit Pagoda's Soul Spirits were already immensely profitable, but this Longevity Pill was definitely even more profitable than Soul Spirits.

Who would not want to live a few more years?
