“What a peculiar scent from the pill. Just smelling it makes my spiritual power fluctuate.”
“What kind of miraculous pill is this?”
“It must be a Fourth-rank pill!”
“Could it be the pill that triggered the Pill Thunder earlier!?”
Under the dense fragrance of the pill, all eyes were filled with intense heat and greed as they looked at the two pills, one purple and one gold.
“Lord, what kind of pills are these?” At the front of the crowd, a Spirit King realm Cultivator asked respectfully, his face full of admiration.
Leo replied, “These are the Ascension Pill and Spirit Saint Pill that I refined.”
Ascension Pill and Spirit Saint Pill!?
Upon hearing the names of these two pills, most of the Cultivators present were shocked, their eyes widening in disbelief.
Although very few Cultivators present had reached the Spirit Saint realm, they were certainly familiar with the names of these two pills.
“To think we could see the legendary Ascension Pill and Spirit Saint Pill with our own eyes!”
“Did you hear that? The Lord said he personally refined the Ascension Pill and Spirit Saint Pill!”
“I knew it! The Lord must be the alchemy master who triggered the Pill Thunder…”
“The Lord is truly extraordinary. Not only is his cultivation high, and he can set up formations, but he also has such profound knowledge in alchemy.”
Many Cultivators looked at Leo with eyes full of admiration.
At the edge of the square, on the top floor of a tavern.
Nelson, Stout, and Franklin’s expressions changed as they stared intently at the two pills floating out of the pill bottle.
“He actually brought out the Ascension Pill and Spirit Saint Pill! I’ve lived for so many years and have only seen a Spirit Saint Pill once at an auction. I never expected to see it again today in this small Clearwind Town.” Nelson’s eyes burned with desire.
“Mr. Booth, Mr. Garner, did you hear what that young lord said? He said he refined the Ascension Pill and Spirit Saint Pill!” Franklin’s voice was filled with undisguised shock.
“How could he be an alchemist, let alone refine Fourth-rank pills!” Stout’s face was grim, unwilling to believe this fact. “He must be saying that to promote his Starfall Shop.”
Nelson slowly shook his head. “I believe he did refine those pills.”
“Mr. Garner, there’s no such thing as a young Fourth-rank Alchemist. I’ve never seen one in my life!” Stout frowned.
Nelson smiled bitterly. “We live in a remote area, so our knowledge is limited. Think about it; with so many spiritual cultivators across the Awakened Continent, it’s inevitable that some geniuses will emerge.”
“If he truly refined the Ascension Pill and Spirit Saint Pill, once this news spreads, people will flock to join Lord’s Manor. Some major forces will definitely take action to kill him, which will be troublesome.” Stout’s face darkened.
In the square, Leo waved his right hand and put the two pills back into the bottle.
Leo’s action made all the Cultivators present fall silent.
“I announce that all partners and Spirit Herb suppliers of my Starfall Shop are eligible to purchase these two pills!” Leo’s clear voice echoed throughout the square.
As soon as he said this, the entire place erupted in excitement.
This was exactly the effect Leo wanted, using these people’s mouths to spread the news throughout the Martial Dynasty!
In the pavilion above, after hearing Leo’s words, Nelson and his companions’ faces turned grim.
“This kid has big ambitions, using this method to attract partners!” Stout clenched his fists tightly.
It was foreseeable that once this news spread, not only would nearby cities like Phoenix Cry City, Heaven Wind City, and Maple City cooperate with Starfall Shop, but even major families in larger cities across the Martial Dynasty would do so.
“If Starfall Shop’s partners spread throughout the Martial Dynasty, our shops will struggle to survive.” Nelson’s face showed worry.
“Don’t worry too much. As I said before, if we can kill that kid, everything will collapse!” Franklin’s face showed killing intent as he spoke coldly.
Nelson’s worry didn’t fade. “I’m afraid that kid will stay in Clearwind Town waiting for partners to come. We can’t gather family experts to storm Clearwind Town.”
If they openly attacked Clearwind Town, even if they could kill Leo, the impact on their families’ reputations would be unbearable.
“So what do we do? Just watch Starfall Shop rise and Harding family, Chase family, and Kidd family grow stronger?” Franklin was very displeased.
Nelson’s eyes flickered as he spoke solemnly. “Don’t worry. Someone will be more anxious than us. Our three families might lose our city’s pill market share and other resources like ores and Spirit Herbs. But Everlasting Trade Association relies heavily on pill profits; they won’t sit still.”
“Everlasting Trade Association’s shops are almost everywhere in Martial Dynasty. Dealing with that kid should be led by Everlasting Trade Association. They have backing from the Crown Prince and Runecarver Sect and some major families in the capital. They won’t watch their interests suffer.”
“Moreover, if the Crown Prince wants to ascend to the throne in the future, he’ll need Everlasting Trade Association’s financial support. So we should send someone to the capital to observe Everlasting Trade Association’s actions and then act accordingly.”
After Nelson finished speaking, he looked at Stout and Franklin.
The two exchanged glances and agreed with Nelson’s plan. “Let’s follow Mr. Garner’s plan!”
Three days later, as Leo had predicted, news of him being a Fourth-rank Alchemist spread throughout every corner of Martial Dynasty.
Along with this news was Starfall Shop’s reputation and information that all partners could purchase Ascension Pills and Spirit Saint Pills.
As a result, more Cultivators came to Clearwind Town than it could accommodate, forcing many to camp outside the town.
Many Spirit Saint realm Cultivators racked their brains trying to buy Spirit Saint Pills from Leo. Even some first- and second-rank rogue cultivators and alchemists wanted to become Leo’s disciples.
Leo naturally refused them all.
The only thing Leo did was receive major families coming to discuss partnership matters.
Among them were major families from distant cities like Crane Cry City, Setting Sun City, and Heavenly Capital City who came to Lord’s Manor hoping to become Starfall Shop partners.
