Chapter 175 Pills? Alcohol and Beverages?
But as soon as he got up, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom stopped again.
It would be beneath my dignity, as the ruler of a cosmic nation, to personally make a trip for a small company.
Furthermore, what if the value of this elixir is not worth the rumors circulating outside?
The thought settled in his mind, and he sat down again, his fingertips tracing the descriptions of the pills on the virtual screen. His gaze deepened: "Planetary Pill, Constant Pill, Cosmic Pill—can it help a martial artist break through to the ninth level of the Cosmic Realm?"
"Each pill sells for only one unit of Hunyuan, and the price is similar to that of a regular nutrient solution, but it can significantly enhance thinking and sensory speed after consumption."
This piqued his interest, and he immediately ordered his men, "Gather as many of Qingyang's medicinal pills as possible and bring them to me for a look."
When the ruler of the universe speaks, how dare the immortal kings and nobles below be negligent?
Those who came nearby immediately emptied the stock in their jurisdiction, while those who came from afar even used divine kingdom teleportation, doing everything in their power to deliver the elixirs as quickly as possible.
In just one day, a small mountain of pills had been piled up on the desk of the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.
He picked up a cosmic pill the size of a thumb, and divine power flowed from his fingertips, enveloping the pill in his own divine power.
His divine sense probed in like a fine spider web, but even with the pill within reach, he couldn't see through its refining principle at all—after all, he didn't have the crucial ingredient, Yellow Spring Water, in his possession.
"That's interesting."
Unable to understand, the Qianwu Kingdom Lord didn't care. He chuckled and tossed the pill into his mouth. The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, a wisp of warm energy sliding into his body before vanishing without a trace. Apart from this faint sensation, there was nothing else unusual. He carefully sensed it for a moment, finding his sea of consciousness completely calm, and his thought process unchanged.
"Could it be that 'accelerating thinking' is just a trick to fool low-level martial artists?" He raised an eyebrow at the pills on the table, then chuckled. He was already a Universe Venerable, his soul strength far exceeding that of an Immortal, so these pills prepared for the Universe level naturally couldn't show their basic effects on him.
Since that was the case, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom simply stopped testing him. With a flick of his finger, the twelve thousand pills on the table instantly transformed into a golden stream, all flowing into his mouth.
This time, something unexpected happened!
The instant all the medicinal power dissolved within his body, a refreshing sensation surged forth from the depths of his consciousness, like countless tiny stars exploding on the surface of his soul, spreading an indescribable sense of clarity. In an instant, a slight intoxication quietly crept into his consciousness—so faint that it couldn't even last a moment, yet so real that it gave him a jolt.
"This feeling—"
Sensing this hint of intoxication, the Qianwu Kingdom's eyes lit up: "Perhaps, this elixir could be eaten as a substitute for food."
This is by no means a derogatory statement. In the primordial universe, "eating as food" was never a low standard—the higher the level of a powerful being, the more terrifying their requirements for "diet" became.
An ordinary, immortal divine body would not be damaged even by an orbital cannon bombardment that could obliterate the solar system.
With a body at such a high level, it's not surprising that a single meal would require 100,000 units of rare cosmic ingredients to make an immortal powerhouse perceive "deliciousness." This is comparable to the wealth of several immortals.
The more than 10,000 pills he had just swallowed, which amounted to only 10,000 to 20,000 Hunyuan units, brought him a sense of pleasure on a spiritual level.
This means that these pills can serve as "snacks" for powerful individuals. At the very least, an ordinary immortal would probably get drunk before they could finish them all (provided they don't actively use their power to dispel the intoxication).
However, it should be noted that for high-level experts, the price of fully relaxing and enjoying this "delicious" experience is always frighteningly high.
A glint flashed in the eyes of the Qianwu Kingdom ruler: "This alone is worth the price of the medicine, not to mention it can also help low-level martial artists improve their strength. Very good! Xu Qingzang's things are more valuable than I thought."
He tapped his fingertips lightly on the armrest of his chair, his laughter low and calculating: "The previous terms of cooperation were still too conservative."
"No, we can't just talk about cooperation. Perhaps we can start another company together."
Once the decision was made, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom had no further hesitation.
"It's time to go and meet this Xu Qing."
In the virtual universe, in the top-floor office of Qingyang Pharmaceutical Company, Xu Qing was waiting for the person who could approve the conditions he proposed.
Suddenly, Xu Qing sensed something and looked into the void before him. A moment later, a ripple appeared in the void in the center of the office, and a figure slowly solidified, dressed in a royal robe, exuding a noble aura.
Although he had never met the person in front of him, Xu Qing already knew who the other person was from the foreseen future.
"Fuck the Lord of the Witch Kingdom?"
Xu Qing was also somewhat surprised.
Although Qianwu was the first negative figure in the primordial universe, he was still the ruler of a cosmic kingdom and a cosmic venerable one, among only a few thousand in the entire human race.
He actually came to do business in person?
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom nodded and walked straight to the reception sofa to sit down. He did not exude any pressure, but smiled and said, "Mr. Xu Qing, there is no need to be surprised. Today I am here to acquire Qingyang Pharmaceutical."
"However, the acquisition of Qingyang Pharmaceuticals is just a side matter; I want to talk to you about something else."
"Is the acquisition a minor matter?"
Xu Qing looked at the other person, listening attentively to what they had to say next.
He had initially thought the other party was after the mass production technology of the Hengxing Pill and the Universe Pill, but it seems there's something even bigger going on.
Before Xu Qing could think it through, the next words from the Qianwu Kingdom ruler did indeed make him lose his composure.
"Before the acquisition, I'd like to ask a question: Mr. Xu, would you be interested in transforming your elixirs into beverages or alcoholic drinks?"
"If you're willing, I'd like to partner with you to start a new company, with each of us owning 50% of the shares. You provide the products, and I'll provide the distribution channels."
"Change it to beverages and alcohol? 50/50?"
Xu Qing was truly stunned this time.
He originally thought the other party would either force him to buy or undercut the price, but he never expected that this cosmic venerable one would actually want to deal in "alcoholic beverages".
Please, brother, aren't I selling elixirs?
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom seemed to see through his confusion, described the slight intoxication he had experienced after taking the elixir, and then laughed:
"You should know how demanding high-level experts are with their 'diet.' For an ordinary immortal to taste something that can touch their soul, a single meal would cost at least ten thousand Chaos Yuan units."
The cosmic venerable looked at the little fellow before him, his tone becoming more serious: "Mr. Xu, your pills, numbering only a little over ten thousand, have actually managed to make me feel slightly intoxicated."
"If it were ordinary immortals, about a hundred or so would be enough to get them drunk. But if they were made into beverages and sold to immortals as wine and drinks, Mr. Xu should be able to calculate how big the market would be."
Hearing this, Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, a playful smile curving his lips: "Interesting, very interesting—"
In his view, elixirs were merely auxiliary resources to enhance his abilities.
But he didn't expect that these top experts in the primordial universe would instead be interested in the intoxicating state that these pills would produce after consumption.
