Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Business Opportunity
"Impossible!"
Ke Xu’s face instantly turned ashen, "Lies! How could there possibly be such an Elixir in the world!"
"And even if it did exist, it absolutely couldn’t be Fourth Grade!"
He wouldn’t believe it; his first reaction was to think Ji Chen was lying.
Because in Ke Xu’s understanding, this was clearly something completely beyond his acceptance.
The most important thing was that today, he had brought out the Beauty Pill to completely humiliate Ji Chen at this birthday banquet.
Who would have guessed that the gift presented by the other party, whether in effect or other aspects, was dozens or even hundreds of times better than his Beauty Pill!
He couldn’t accept such a fact!
"Just because you haven’t encountered it, does that mean it doesn’t exist?"
Ji Chen couldn’t help but laugh, looking at him disdainfully, and continued, "Whether it’s real or fake, it will be known when the Queen of Chu takes the Elixir in public."
"What do you mean by this?"
Someone was puzzled, according to Ji Chen, even if this Face Stabilizing Pill was real, it would take decades to verify its authenticity, so how could people be convinced just after taking it?
Ji Chen said, "This Face Stabilizing Pill also has an effect, which is that after consumption, it can restore several years of youth in a short period of time."
"Is it real or fake..."
As soon as these words came out, the entire audience was astonished, with disbelief written all over their faces.
The Face Stabilizing Pill that Ji Chen took out could not only keep one youthful for decades but also make them look several years younger after consumption?
"What an outrageous claim, Ji Chen, you need not exaggerate here just for the sake of face."
Ke Xu gave a cold smile. Initially, he was still uncertain about Ji Chen’s Face Stabilizing Pill, but after hearing his subsequent words, Ke Xu was almost certain that the so-called Face Stabilizing Pill must have been exaggerated by Ji Chen.
He didn’t believe there could be such a heaven-defying Elixir in the world.
And certainly not one of Fourth Grade!
Even if it existed, it would surely be of Ninth Grade and above, perhaps even Saint Tier level!
"Mother, why not try this Elixir’s effect in public?"
At this moment, the Eldest Princess stood out.
She now also bore an inexplicable expression on her face, clearly very focused on the Elixir’s effects, Qu Luoning was equally curious.
Being in her prime, Qu Luoning naturally couldn’t help but be attracted by the temptation of the Face Stabilizing Pill.
However, if this Elixir truly had heaven-defying effects, Qu Luoning also did not believe such an Elixir could be obtained by her, because the difficulty of refining and the collection of ingredients for such a rare item must be as difficult as ascending to heaven, and it might be hard to find another one in this world, right?
"Very well..."
The Queen of Chu nodded, her curiosity already piqued.
She poured out the Youthful Appearance Pill from the Jade Bottle, holding it in her palm.
Without hesitating for long, ultimately, the Queen of Chu took the Face Stabilizing Pill in front of the entire audience.
"I said it, what Face Stabilizing Pill, it’s just..."
Time passed, after about ten moments, there was no change whatsoever on the Queen of Chu.
Ke Xu couldn’t help but laugh coldly, just about to mock.
But before he could finish his sentence, the crowd let out cries of surprise.
Looking once more, Ke Xu saw with his own eyes that the Queen of Chu’s appearance was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This change wasn’t dramatic, only lasting a few breaths.
By the time everyone reacted, it was clear that the present Queen of Chu looked several years younger in both appearance and aura!
From a beautiful middle-aged woman who seemed about thirty, she instantly turned into a young woman of twenty-five or -six!
If not seen with their own eyes, no one would dare believe such a thing could be true!
"What? Did it really work?"
The Queen of Chu evidently hadn’t noticed the changes in her face. Seeing the exclamations from the crowd, she couldn’t help feeling a bit nervous.
Then, the Eldest Princess rose and approached her, taking out a mirror from her Storage Treasure.
"Is this... me?"
Seeing herself in the mirror, the Queen of Chu was momentarily stunned, disbelief appearing on her face.
After the initial shock came ecstasy, her hands trembled slightly as she repeatedly looked at herself in the mirror.
In that moment, she seemed to see herself from years ago, when she was the unrivaled beauty of the Chu Kingdom.
Unfortunately, no one in this world can resist the ravages of time.
Over these years, though her looks were well-maintained, she still aged significantly.
But now, the signs of aging on her face had completely disappeared.
Now she looked like a young woman of twenty-five or -six!
At this moment, tears fell involuntarily down her face.
These were tears of excitement.
The Emperor Chu stood up to comfort her, and after some time, he managed to calm her emotions.
"The Face Stabilizing Pill Master Ji Chen gifted is truly delightful, henceforth, Lingyun Sect and our Royal Family must engage more." She spoke thus.
Hearing this, many present showed envious expressions.
This basically meant Lingyun Sect had gained support from the Royal Family!
It’s something that countless small to medium families and forces long for.
"Young Master Ji, this Elixir, I wonder if you..."
Someone couldn’t help but speak up, and Ji Chen was taken aback because it was none other than Qu Luoning speaking.
At this moment, her eyes sparkled brilliantly, clearly, the Face Stabilizing Pill was also a huge temptation for the Eldest Princess.
And not just her, many powerful women from various forces present also showed expectant looks.
Ji Chen smiled, then said, "As for the Face Stabilizing Pill, I do have another one; it’s one of the same batch refined with Elder Zhuang last time, if the Eldest Princess wishes to..."
To Ji Chen, the so-called Face Stabilizing Pill held no special value, as he could refine them at will, and he still had some left from last time.
He initially wanted to gift one to the Eldest Princess too, but then heard her offer, "I will pay you one hundred thousand Spirit Stones to buy it, what does Young Master think?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Chen was momentarily stunned.
He hadn’t really thought about selling it.
But now, that was a huge fortune in Spirit Stones to be given up freely, especially considering it was a hundred thousand!
"Agreed!"
Without hesitation, Ji Chen nodded immediately.
And he also seemed to have realized this might be a good business opportunity.
With the Face Stabilizing Pill causing such a sensation now, if he were to periodically bring some out for auction in the future, wouldn’t they be eagerly fought over?
