Chapter 420: Chapter 420: Vying for Reservations

"Chairman Zhou, you can’t be joking, right?"

"Indeed! How could the Returning Essence Pill qualify as the final auction item?"

"Could it be a mistake?"

...

There were exclamations of astonishment from the crowd.

Eyes filled with disbelief.

Zhou Tian slightly smiled and said, "Ladies and gents, there is no mistake. Although this pill is called the Returning Essence Pill, it would be more appropriate to call it the Super Rejuvenation Pill! Because its effects are twice that of the Returning Essence Pill available on the market."

"Twice?"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions became grave.

The efficacy of the Returning Essence Pill has hardly improved in recent years.

If, as Chairman Zhou says, the effects have doubled all at once, that would be truly shocking.

At that moment, an elder in a purple robe stood up and said, "Chairman Zhou, when you say twice, are you referring to the Returning Essence Pill made by your Zhou Tian Trading Company?"

This person was a venerated elder from Purple Cloud Commerce.

He had specifically come to attend the auction.

As a competitor, it was natural to be clear about the opponent’s movements.

"Wang Gongfeng!"

Zhou Tian gave a slight nod towards this person and said, "No, it refers to the best-selling Returning Essence Pill on the market, which is also the one developed by your company."

"Impossible!"

Wang Gongfeng immediately shook his head.

As a venerated elder of Purple Cloud Commerce overseeing elixirs, he clearly understood the efficacy of their Returning Essence Pill.

It was considered perfect!

That they found it nearly impossible to enhance its effects even slightly.

Here was Zhou Tian Trading, claiming boldly that their pill’s effects were twice that of their Returning Essence Pill—it was laughable.

Had Chairman Zhou lost his mind?

"Wang Gongfeng, aren’t you being a bit too arbitrary? Without verifying our newly developed Returning Essence Pill, how can you know it’s impossible?" Zhou Tian asked with a faint smile.

"Hmph!"

Wang Gongfeng snorted coldly and said, "Chairman Zhou, I am very clear about the level of your expertise in pill-making."

"Is that so?"

Zhou Tian smiled faintly, then waved his right hand, and a lady walked over to Wang Gongfeng, handing over a bottle of the Returning Essence Pill.

"Since Wang Gongfeng doesn’t believe it, why not have a brief examination?" Zhou Tian offered with a beaming smile.

He had personally tested this elixir and was very aware of its medicinal effects.

"Fine!"

Wang Gongfeng took the jade bottle with a cold smile, "I would like to see what kind of miraculous Returning Essence Pill your Zhou Tian Trading has managed to develop?"

Zhou Tian nodded with a smile.

When the jade bottle was tilted, a light yellow pill fell into Wang Gongfeng’s hands.

"What a rich spiritual energy!"

Upon setting eyes on the Returning Essence Pill, Wang Gongfeng’s expression involuntarily tightened.

Though he hadn’t taken it yet, as a top powerhouse at the ninth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, how sensitive was his perception?

"Just the appearance, not impressive, is it?" Wang Gongfeng scoffed.

Zhou Tian paid no heed to Wang Gongfeng’s belittlement.

Everyone else also turned their gaze to see, curious.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wang Gongfeng placed the pill into his mouth and swallowed it.

The pill dissolved upon entry, instantly turning into streams of incredibly pure spiritual energy that flowed towards the Dantian.

"This..."

A look of shock flashed across Wang Gongfeng’s eyes.

Indeed, the spiritual energy contained within this Returning Essence Pill was twice that of Purple Cloud Commerce’s, and even the speed at which the spiritual energy converted to Spiritual Power was more than twice as fast.

Wang Gongfeng immediately closed his eyes.

Yet a storm raged in his heart.

Closing his eyes was merely to suppress the shock within.

He did not expect that Zhou Tian Trading would have developed a Returning Essence Pill with effects far superior to theirs!

"How is it?"

After a full quarter of an hour, someone couldn’t wait to inquire.

Such a length of time should be sufficient to determine the effects of the medicine.

"Pah!"

"Just trash!"

Wang Gongfeng opened his eyes wide, a look of disdain on his face.

He had long since suppressed the shock in his heart.

Seeing Wang Gongfeng disparage the Super Rejuvenation Pill like this, there was not a trace of anger on Zhou Tian’s face; he then waved his hand grandly.

At that moment, many staff members of Zhou Tian Trading Company immediately began distributing Returning Essence Pills to the various power leaders’ hands.

"Everyone can also give it a try."

Zhou Tian looked toward the leaders of the powers, smiling lightly.

These people were the major buyers of elixirs; satisfying them was the ultimate goal.

"Great!"

The leaders of the powers immediately took out the Super Rejuvenation Pill.

Naturally, they were not about to simply give up just because a cultivator from the competing Purple Cloud Commerce had said something.

"Wow!"

"Such a rich concentration of spiritual energy!"

"This Returning Essence Pill looks pretty good!"

...

The moment the leaders of the powers saw the Returning Essence Pills, their expressions brightened.

Where was it as worthless as Wang Gongfeng had claimed?

Everyone took the Returning Essence Pills one after another.

"Hmm?"

"Damn it!"

"Such a dense spiritual energy!"

"This effect is too damn astonishing!"

"Holy shit, this recovery speed is too fast, at least twice as fast as the normal Returning Essence Pill!"

"Mhm! The amount of spiritual energy is equivalent to two ordinary Returning Essence Pills!"

"Is this still trash? I’m afraid someone is blind as a bat!"

"Exactly, the Returning Essence Pills from Purple Cloud Commerce are probably even worse than trash!"

...

The hall erupted with exclamations.

And the ones exclaiming were not ordinary people, but the leaders of various powers.

Seeing this, Zhou Tian’s face showed a satisfied smile. Turning to Wang Gongfeng, he said, "Wang Gongfeng, it seems your expertise in appraising elixirs is lacking - and not by a small margin, right?"

Wang Gongfeng was trying to throw a spanner in the works, but how could Zhou Tian let him have his way?

Upon hearing this, Wang Gongfeng’s face turned ashen.

"Chairman Zhou, how much is this Super Rejuvenation Pill worth?"

Someone quickly asked.

If the elixir worked very well but the price was exorbitant, many powers might not be able to afford it.

At that moment, everyone’s gaze turned to Chairman Zhou.

Wang Gongfeng also started to gloat.

Developing such a fine Returning Essence Pill surely wasn’t cheap, was it?

As long as the Super Rejuvenation Pill was expensive, their Purple Cloud Commerce’s Returning Essence Pills would still dominate most of the market.

Seeing this, Zhou Tian slowly began to speak: "The pills you have tried are the high-grade Returning Essence Pills. The price is the same as those ordinary Returning Essence Pills on the market: ten Primordial Spirit Stones each!"

"What? That cheap?"

"Chairman Zhou, I want to preorder a thousand!"

"Me too!"

"Our Qin Family wants ten thousand!"

...

The scene was nearly chaotic.

They even started to preorder the pills directly.

"How is this possible?"

Wang Gongfeng’s face was ashen.

If the Super Rejuvenation Pill hit the market, where would be the market for Purple Cloud Commerce Returning Essence Pills? The market they had held for years might be snatched away by Zhou Tian Trading Company instantly!

The profit margins on elixirs were enormous, and Purple Cloud Commerce might even fall from the altar as the top commerce entity in Great Xia.

Watching this scene unfold, the people of Zhou Tian Trading Company were dumbfounded.

Even they had not known when their commerce had developed such a heaven-defying Returning Essence Pill.

Zhou Tian was also ecstatic.

He knew that the introduction of the Super Rejuvenation Pill would cause a great sensation.

But he hadn’t expected it to be this crazy.
