Chapter 1440 - Not For Sale
The old man popped the "mud pellet" into his mouth in full view of the crowd.
Judging by its appearance and scent, the "mud pellet" looked ordinary, leaving everyone with the impression that it was nothing more than a clump of mud rolled into a ball.
He closed his eyes, quietly sensing the "mud pellet" in his mouth. Unlike ordinary spiritual pills that dissolved the instant they entered, this one bounced around like a jumping bean, darting about inside his mouth.
As soon as it entered, a rich fragrance burst forth, condensing into liquid that flowed along his meridians and rushed straight toward his brain.
The old man's features relaxed as his expression shifted from doubt to pure enjoyment, and the entire change took place in less than a fraction of a breath. The remaining energy coursed down his throat and spread into his body.
His limbs began to draw in the energy, and even his physique strengthened under the pill's nourishment. Cultivators from the Spirit Martial Astral Domain focused on tempering the soul sea, which left their bodies as their weakest point.
In a battle of souls, cultivators of the Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain could probably not withstand them, but neither side truly surpassed the other; they walked different cultivation paths, after all.
The Divine Alchemy Sect's pills could indeed increase soul energy, yet they carried a glaring flaw—medicinal residue would damage one's body.
Liu Wuxie's pill, however, not only fortified the soul sea but also nourished the physique at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
Most crucially, Liu Wuxie's pill delivered far superior results. When the liquid poured into his soul sea, it didn't stir up a faint ripple but instead churned it into a roaring tide.
He could hardly put the sensation into words; it felt indescribably comfortable, and more importantly, there were no hallucinations. That alone proved the pill carried no side effects.
The onlookers grew increasingly restless, all of them desperate to know the actual effect of those "mud pellets." Yet an entire hour slipped by, and Liu Wuxie had still only sold a single pill.
