Chapter 197: The Body-Building Pill with Added Ingredients Tricks Two Titled Douluo!
Seeing Yu Xiaogang faint, Bibi Dong no longer looked at him but turned to Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiao. She asked, "What do you plan to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills today?"
"I'm quite interested in your Clear Sky Sect's Ring Explosion Secret Method. I wonder if your sect is willing to exchange it?"
Tang Xiao's mouth twitched, and he gave an awkward smile. "Empress Bibi Dong, the Ring Explosion Secret Method is one of the most important secret techniques of my Clear Sky Sect, and it's impossible to exchange. This time, I brought some Soul Bones. I wonder how many Foundation Establishment Pills these Soul Bones can be exchanged for?"
As he spoke, ten Soul Bones of varying sizes appeared before Bibi Dong's eyes.
Bibi Dong looked at them, slightly disappointed. The quality of these Soul Bones was too poor. Did they really expect to exchange them for Foundation Establishment Pills?
Qian Daoliu was still too soft-hearted, which gave Tang Xiao and Yu Yuanzhen the misconception that ordinary thousand-year Soul Bones could be compared to Foundation Establishment Pills.
One must know that the refining of Foundation Establishment Pills requires herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and even with the Well's blessing, it takes hundreds to thousands of years for those herbs to mature from seeds.
And for an ordinary herb to advance to an Immortal Herb, it would require at least ten thousand years!
It could be said that each Foundation Establishment Pill used meant one less available.
But Soul Bones were different. In Spirit Hall's treasury, there was no shortage of thousand-year Soul Bones.
After all, Spirit Hall had been established for a long time, and there were many Soul Masters within it. The growth of Soul Masters required hunting Soul Beasts.
Even if they wouldn't kill Soul Beasts indiscriminately just for Soul Bones, over the years, their stock was still considerable.
Because many talented Soul Masters didn't value thousand-year Soul Bones, they would voluntarily hand them over in exchange for other resources.
What Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiao feared most now was the sudden silence in the air.
Yu Yuanzhen bit the bullet and said, "I also have some Soul Bones here. I wonder how much they can be exchanged for."
As he spoke, several more Soul Bones appeared in the air, among which Yu Yuanzhen's twenty-thousand-year Soul Bone and the Grand Elder's ten-thousand-year Soul Bone were the most lustrous.
These two Soul Bones instantly caught Bibi Dong's attention.
She was somewhat surprised. Yu Yuanzhen had indeed brought a significant offering this time. He wasn't keeping these ten-thousand-year Soul Bones for himself but bringing them out to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills.
But then again, whether it was a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone or a twenty-thousand-year one, they wouldn't have much effect on an old Dragon like Yu Yuanzhen.
Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction and looked at Yu Yuanzhen. "My Spirit Hall no longer needs Soul Bones below ten thousand years. For your two ten-thousand-year Soul Bones, along with these thousand-year Soul Bones, I can give you three Foundation Establishment Pills and three Soul Ascension Pills."
Yu Yuanzhen: ???
"Are you joking? Last time, when the High Priest was here, a six-thousand-year Soul Bone could still be exchanged for one Foundation Establishment Pill! How is it that with you, my Soul Bones can only be exchanged for three Foundation Establishment Pills?"
Yu Yuanzhen was truly a bit angry!
But in his anger, it was only for a moment.
Because the next moment, not only Bibi Dong but also Qian Daoliu, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Ling Yuan, Qing Luan, Guang Ling, and several other Priests and Elders in the Supreme Pontiff Palace directly surrounded the two.
The High Priest looked at Yu Yuanzhen with a smile. "Yu Yuanzhen, what are you saying? Why don't you say it again?"
"Cough, cough, cough. No, nothing. I just wanted to ask why the number of Foundation Establishment Pills that can be exchanged this time is so small."
Qian Daoliu chuckled. "No choice; the herbs for refining Foundation Establishment Pills are limited. If we give you one, my Spirit Hall has one less. This is a non-renewable resource, while Soul Bones can still be stripped after a person dies. Which is more precious, I don't need to say, do I?"
The growth cycle of the herbs used to refine Foundation Establishment Pills is too long; it is not wrong to call them non-renewable resources.
After all, they couldn't live that long unless they became gods.
But if they became gods, why would they still need these herbs and Immortal Herbs?
Tang Xiao didn't dare to act presumptuously now; his aura suddenly weakened several points, and he weakly asked, "Then how many Foundation Establishment Pills can my Soul Bones be exchanged for?"
Bibi Dong looked at these Soul Bones and shook her head. "They can't be exchanged. The quality of your Soul Bones is too poor. A dignified Clear Sky Sect, does it not even have a single ten-thousand-year Soul Bone?"
"If you're that poor, you can actually exchange them for the Clear Sky Sect's Secret Method."
Tang Xiao's old face twitched uncontrollably. He withdrew all the Soul Bones and said indignantly, "Then I won't exchange them!"
"The Clear Sky Sect's Secret Method was painstakingly researched by my grandfather. There's no way it can be given to your Spirit Hall!"
Being surrounded by so many Titled Douluo now, Tang Xiao was under immense pressure.
On Tang Xiao's side, there were only him and Yu Yuanzhen, two Titled Douluo, a small number of Soul Douluo, and a fainted, useless Yu Xiaogang.
"Oh? Are you sure you're not exchanging?" Qing Luan and Guang Ling released their Martial Souls, giving off an aura that implied, 'If you don't exchange, you won't leave this door.'
Tang Xiao: …
Qian Daoliu waved his hand and chuckled. "Qing Luan, Guang Ling, what are you two doing? This makes it seem like my Spirit Hall is forcing Sect Master Tang to exchange! We don't force buying or selling!"
Tang Xiao muttered to himself, 'Can what you say be the same as what you do? Don't release your Martial Soul, damn it! Damn it!'
Tang Xiao could still resist for now, but some of his clansmen beside him couldn't hold on. They couldn't stand steadily and directly collapsed to the ground.
"Exchange! Exchange! But my Soul Bones can't be exchanged for Foundation Establishment Pills, and Soul Ascension Pills are useless to us. Does your Spirit Hall have any other Medicinal Pills?"
Qian Daoliu chuckled. "That's a coincidence; we do. We also have Medicinal Pills called Saint Breakthrough Pills and Body Refining Pills. The former can provide the soul power needed to Breakthrough to Soul Saint, and the latter can improve a Soul Master's Physique differently according to the Medicinal Pill's rank."
"Which kind do you want?"
There are two new types of Medicinal Pills?
As soon as this was said, both Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiao were overjoyed. Yu Yuanzhen quickly asked, "How do these two Medicinal Pills exchange?"
"Saint Breakthrough Pills are not exchanged. Body Refining Pills, according to their rank, have five ranks. After consumption, they can improve a Soul Master's Physique differently, divided into ten-year, hundred-year, five-hundred-year, eight-hundred-year, and one-thousand-year."
"I want the one-thousand-year one! How many one-thousand-year Body Refining Pills can my Soul Bones exchange for?"
Tang Xiao quickly asked.
The secret of so many Soul Masters in Spirit Hall being able to absorb soul rings across ranks is probably here!
Bibi Dong said, "For your Soul Bones, I'll give you a discounted price. You can exchange them for five one-thousand-year Body Refining Pills. After consuming one, a Soul Master's tolerance limit for soul rings can be increased by at least one thousand years."
Tang Xiao originally wanted to haggle, but Bibi Dong said, "No bargaining!"
"Good! Then I'll take five one-thousand-year Body Refining Pills. Are there any rank requirements for Soul Masters to consume these Body Refining Pills?"
Out of caution, Tang Xiao asked.
Yue Guan chuckled: "No requirements. Even ordinary people can consume them. Body Refining Pills are extremely Yang and rigid. Especially for male Soul Masters, the effect is even better!"
