Qin Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "Friends, rest assured. Since my Alchemy Pavilion is giving back to everyone, how could we casually raise prices? The next batch of Tier-3 pills will still be fifty thousand silver coins each."
Upon hearing Qin Chen's explanation, many people in the crowd immediately breathed a sigh of relief. However, there were still several astute individuals watching him closely, knowing that since he said this, there must be more to it.
Sure enough, before everyone could relax fully, Qin Chen added, "However, we need to change the purchasing method."
"What kind of change?"
The crowd was taken aback and all focused their attention on him.
"The pills we sold earlier were Tier-3 True Qi Pills. As everyone knows, Tier-3 True Qi Pills are used to enhance the true qi within a martial artist's body, and there are many spiritual herbs that can be refined into them. Therefore, we didn't charge for the material fees at the beginning. But the special pills we are going to sell next are some unique Tier-3 pills, such as the Breaking Xuan Pill and the Heart-Condensing Pill."
Everyone knew that one reason Tier-3 pills were rare was that high-level alchemists were quite scarce. Another reason was the materials.
"In selling the Breaking Xuan Pill and the Heart-Condensing Pill, our Alchemy Pavilion probably can't sell them like we did with the True Qi Pills anymore; instead, we will need everyone to provide the materials themselves," Qin Chen said loudly to the crowd.
"What? Breaking Xuan Pill, Heart-Condensing Pill?"
"Does your Alchemy Pavilion really have these two types of pills?"
"It can't be a scam, right?"
"Yes, the Breaking Xuan Pill is a pill that increases the chances for martial artists to break through, while the Heart-Condensing Pill enhances a martial artist's comprehension. Both of these pills are extremely powerful among Tier-3 pills, and even the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce doesn’t auction them. Can the Alchemy Pavilion offer them?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted again, nearly going insane.
The crux of everyone's concern was not about whether to charge material fees but whether the Alchemy Pavilion truly had these two types of pills for sale.
It's important to know that just because there is a Tier-3 alchemist does not mean they can sell all kinds of Tier-3 pills.
Every type of Tier-3 pill requires obtaining the pill formula and refining methods, and then it needs to be crafted by a Tier-3 alchemist, which takes a long time of refining and study before it might be successful. Depending on the difficulty of refining, this time frame can vary greatly.
The Tianxing Chamber of Commerce is one of the four major forces in Wu City and has a partnership with a Tier-3 alchemist, but the Tier-3 pills they auction are only one or two types, meaning there is very little choice.
Now that they heard the Alchemy Pavilion also had the Breaking Xuan Pill and the Heart-Condensing Pill for sale, how could they not be excited?
These two types of pills are what every martial artist dreams of.
Feeling the excitement and inquiries in the crowd, Xu Xiong couldn’t help but express admiration again.
"Young Master Chen indeed lives up to his name. Instead of simply raising the price when he realized he set it too low, he cleverly increased it by changing the way of providing materials, and it’s an increase that’s not trivial."
"The key is that in order to prevent doubts from the crowd, Young Master Chen smoothly introduced the Breaking Xuan Pill and the Heart-Condensing Pill, diverting everyone's attention to these newly launched pills. In contrast, the previously subtly raised prices for the other pills went unnoticed."
Facing the crowd's confusion, Qin Chen smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, if I didn’t have these two types of pills, would I dare to make such a statement?"
With a shake of his right hand, two porcelain vials instantly appeared in his hand. With a gentle tilt, two round pills fell into the view of the crowd.
One of the pills was light yellow, and the other was grayish-white, each adorned with distinct pill patterns. As soon as they appeared, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted in front of the Alchemy Pavilion's entrance.
