Chapter 1453 - Testing Phase
When the final pill rune appeared, Feng He felt as if he had plunged into an ice cavern. His legs buckled beneath him, and he collapsed onto the ground. As a dignified expert at the Earth Immortal Realm, he suddenly felt completely powerless. He simply could not accept what he was seeing.
The thirty pill runes were like thirty resounding slaps across his face. The Profound Spirit Pill was the Divine Alchemy Sect's main product, and now that they had to withdraw it from the market, the impact on the sect's income would be catastrophic.
Over the years, the Divine Alchemy Sect had been stockpiling Profound Spirit Pills, piling them high in their warehouses alongside mountains of raw materials. Many of those materials still hadn't been paid for, as the Divine Alchemy Sect had planned to settle the debt only after selling their pills.
Now that they had to pull the Profound Spirit Pills from the market, it would trigger a chain reaction that wouldn't just cripple the Divine Alchemy Sect but devastate their entire supply chain.
The Nine Dragon Palace would suffer the most, as they had sold more than a billion astral stones' worth of spiritual herbs to them.
Feng He's face turned ashen, and he trembled uncontrollably. He couldn't squeeze out a single word. The other elders of the Divine Alchemy Sect didn't fare any better, each of them wearing an equally grim expression.
As for Zhang Li and Wang Lai, they shook where they stood, cold sweat soaking through their robes. They belonged to the Divine Alchemy Sect's younger generation of elites and had once held great hopes of reaching the upper echelons in the future.
Now, Liu Wuxie and the Heavenly Dao Society had utterly crushed them.
The Grand Unity Sect elders also furrowed their brows as a creeping sense of dread rose in their hearts. At this moment, they finally understood what Shi Yuan had to have felt at the time. Watching an enemy grow right before one's eyes, while knowing that one couldn't stop him was just... terrifying.
However, the humiliation didn't end there. A thirty-first pill rune appeared and began to spread outward across the Heavenly Spirit Diagram.
"What a monster!" Shang Yi could only reveal a bitter smile.
The Spirit Martial Astral Domain did not lack prodigies in alchemy, but no one dared mention any of them in the same breath as Liu Wuxie.
