Chapter 8: Give it a try

“The legendary Beauty Pill!” Unlike Ye Leng'an's calm and indifferent demeanor, the old man nearly jumped for joy. “Are you talking about the legendary Beauty Pill that can keep one's appearance unchanged forever?”

One had to understand that even the Pill Alliance in the Hidden World currently lacked the ability to refine such a pill. Of course, the Pill Alliance did possess beauty-enhancing pills, but they could only delay aging rather than maintain one's appearance indefinitely.

“Uh—” Ye Leng'an was somewhat speechless. “If you want to understand it that way, I suppose that works too.”

She hadn't expected that such an ordinary, low-level pill could be called a legendary pill. Looking at it this way, the spiritual energy in this world was truly sparse! Even with alchemists present, they likely couldn't refine anything of great quality.

“Guest, if this truly is the Beauty Pill, we will certainly accept it.” A layer of respect appeared on the old man's face. “It's just that such a Beauty Pill has never appeared before, so—”

To be honest, after the initial excitement, he felt somewhat apprehensive. He had never heard of such a pill, let alone how to identify it.

However, if this truly was the legendary Beauty Pill, it would undoubtedly bring them immense profit. If they missed this opportunity, there was no telling if another would ever come along.

“It doesn't matter. You can try it right now.” Ye Leng'an was not angered by the skepticism; she simply poured out a Beauty Pill and handed it to the old man. “Take it now, and you will see the effects immediately.”

She had plenty of such low-level pills in her space and didn't feel any sting in parting with them. Besides, if she ran out, she could just refine more herself.

She felt somewhat fortunate now that she had accidentally obtained such a portable grotto-heaven space that could follow her back. If it had been a mere storage spiritual tool, she certainly wouldn't have been able to bring it back, and her years of collections would have gone to waste.

“Ah!” The old man seemed startled, completely caught off guard.

Without any hesitation, Ye Leng'an directly stuffed the pill into the old man's mouth.

Before the old man could react to the sudden presence of something in his mouth, he swallowed instinctively. It was only when he regained his senses that he realized with shock what he had just swallowed.

Ye Leng'an spoke bluntly, “Do you have a mirror here? Go take a look!”

The old man snapped out of it and immediately walked inside. He was shocked by the Beauty Pill, but at the same time, he doubted whether such a legendary pill truly existed.

A moment later, the old man emerged again. He was holding a mirror in his hand, breathing heavily because he had walked so hurriedly. When he saw Ye Leng'an still standing there waiting, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“Noble customer, do you truly intend to sell these pills to us?” The old man's tone was extremely respectful, sounding less like he was addressing a junior and more like he was addressing a senior many times more powerful than himself.

The moment he looked in the mirror, he could hardly believe his eyes. Within just a few minutes of taking the Beauty Pill, his originally white hair had turned black, the wrinkles on his face had diminished significantly, and he looked ten years younger.

Furthermore, most importantly, he felt no discomfort whatsoever; instead, he felt an unprecedented sense of lightness throughout his entire body. He could clearly sense that it wasn't just his appearance that had become younger, but his very essence as well.

He could almost imagine how many people would flock to them once news of this Beauty Pill spread.
