17 Miracle Pills

Before anyone could scream or even react to what he just did, Sheng Tian thrusted the pill into his mouth.

The brother's arm then started growing back at a rapid pace. Within seconds, a new arm has grown in place of the old. If they didn't see the severed arm on the floor then they probably would have believed what they saw to be an illusion.

The poor appraiser flexed his arms as he wiped cold sweat from his forehead. What happened had truly scared him and thanked the heavens that there is such a miraculous pill in existence.

Wiping his blade as if nothing had happened Sheng Tian said "as you can see, an ordinary pill had such effects. It can regenerate an entire limb of a mind tempering cultivator in a matter of seconds"

Feng Ying exhaled, even with her experience from working at the Red Lotus Auction house she still was unable to mask her surprise "such a pill would naturally go for a great price. How abo-"

"There's still another pill Madam Ying" Sheng Tian interrupted.

They all looked at the last bottle and sweated inwardly. The last demonstration had almost stopped the Gu brother's hearts and they worried that this one would give them a greater shock.

Sheng Tian opened the bottle and showed them the single pill with 9 pill lines and a clear pill halo before closing it to prevent any medical efficiency from leaking "what you just saw is another rank 5 pill though this one had 9 pill lines and a pill halo. Its name is Soul Condensing Pill. Once consumed, it will strengthen the toughness of one's soul, increase soul purity, and enhance mental strength. You guys should know the value of such a pill"

Hearing his words, the trio on the other side of the table could not help but open their mouths in shock.

"Ahem, t-these pills would definitely fetch an incredibly high price. In order to maximize profits, it would be better to delay the auction so we have time to spread the fact that we are auctioning incredible pills. The starting price for the Meridian Tempering Pills would be 1000 low rank low grade spirit stones, the Spirit Blood Pills would start at 2000 low rank low grade spirit stones, and the Soul Condensing Pill would start at 5000. We as the auction house would take a 1 percent commission, is that alright?"

Feng Ying might sound nervous, but she is actually also very elated. Once word gets out that the auction house sold these extremely high grade pills, she would be promoted into a core disciple.

Sheng Tian thought about it for a moment before nodding.

Once they all signed a contract that ensured the auction would not steal anything he sold nor would they refuse to pay him, he was given a card that held 50,000 low quality low grade spirit stones worth of credit.

He left and went straight to a hotel he saw earlier and sealed his room. He laid out 2 bottles in front of him and sat in a lotus position. Truth to be told, he had given his lowest quality pills to the auction house and kept the ones he would use on himself. Even in the higher heavens, most would think that the limit of pills was 9 pill lines and 9 pill halos. Sheng Tian opened a bottle containing 3 pills with 13 pill lines and 13 pill halos. By sacrificing a few pill lines and pill halos on the other pills, Sheng Tian could create perfect pills with a terrifying 3 times the original potency.

He directly consumed all 3 Meridian Tempering Pills as consuming 3 was the limit before it loses effect. Extremely pure energy flowed through his meridians and continuously enlarged and strengthened its walls.

His meridians were originally double the strength and size of other cultivators of the same level. Now, they are a whopping 10 times larger and tougher. These benefits do not go away when he reaches higher realms, in fact, the difference only becomes wider.

He then took out a Soul Condensing Pill with 13 pill lines and 13 pill halos. Such a pill would only be effective once as pills regarding the soul are quite rare. He swallowed the pill and it immediately dissolved and flowed to his neidan and brain. He could feel his soul solidify to a greater degree and was shocked to find that there are 2 separate souls in him. One in his brain and one in his neidan.

The brain is a host to several things. It holds the sea of consciousness, one's soul, and mind. The sea of consciousness and mind are connected and is where the cultivator performs calculations and actions. The soul on the other hand, is simply an ethereal embodiment of your being and is a more intricate form of mind once you reach the realm where you can handle souls.

A soul is your very existence and is at the same time the most cared and fragile and possibly one of the most powerful trump cards if you have a way of using it. A soul contains an essence like the one in one's blood but includes factors like toughness, purity, quantity, and force.

Sheng Tian does not have just 1 extremely powerful and pure soul but 2, and the pill he just ate amplified it even more. His souls have reached a level of purity that the pill could not refine it any further, meaning more energy was used to strengthen the toughness and increase the quantity of his souls.

A small explosion was heard as Sheng Tian's mind reached a new level of clarity. His thoughts flowed faster and his various bodily functions also improved. He could even use his soul to a slight degree though his cultivation isn't high enough to do anything with it.

Leaving the hotel, he found that he spent an entire day in his room and proceeded to wander the streets of the city.

He found that there was even a whole street lined with stalls mostly set up by rogue cultivators. He looked through the stalls to see if there was anything that caught his eye.

There was a certain stall with many people crowding around it. Sheng Tian saw that the owner was just a middle-aged man at the peak of the qi gathering realm and he was arguing with a young man while grasping an old book.

He tapped the shoulder of a young man next to him and asked what all this commotion was about.

"That old man is trying to sell a peak earth grade technique but would only accept pills or treasure that can help him advance to the next stage. For rogue cultivators like us, even yellow ranked techniques are rare, much less black ranked techniques or earth ranked techniques"

Sheng Tian looked at the cover of the book and read the words Yin Yang Reversal. He stepped forward and took out a bottle packed with qi gathering and qi condensing pills.

"I want that technique"

The man looked at the contents of the bottle and cried out in joy, and looked at him suspiciously.

As if reading his thoughts Sheng Tian said "there is no reason for me to scam you. These pills are useless to me"

They traded as the crowd of rogue cultivators looked enviously at the middle-aged man.

Just as Sheng Tian was about to leave though, the young man who was arguing before stopped him and released his cultivation base.

"Stop right there"
