Chapter 515

After taking only a whiff of the aroma, Zhang Che felt the spiritual force slowly tempering his flesh and blood immediately become a tad more active .
This was only a whiff of the medicinal pill’s aroma! If he swallowed the pill, how strong would its effect be?
Zhang Che’s eyes went wide . He looked at Huang Juyun in astonishment, saying, “Uncle Huang, this medicinal pill must cost a fortune, right?”
Huang Juyun chuckled, “But of course! The spiritual honey only acts as the catalyst . More than twenty other spiritual herbs, in addition to over a dozen materials from exotic beasts, are in the recipe . The cost of materials alone is more than a thousand purple crystal points to make a single pill!”
Hearing this, Zhang Che immediately sucked in a breath of cold air .
With that said, wouldn’t the factory price of the bottle of new body tempering pills reach tens of thousands of purple crystal points?
Well, measuring the price of this medicinal pill with purple crystal points didn’t seem impactful enough . Converting it to alliance dollars, the cost to make one of these new body tempering pills was ten million dollars . If it was to be sold outside, it had to be priced at twenty or thirty million dollars each to be considered normal, right?
Even high-tier beastmasters couldn’t easily afford it at such a sky-high price! After all, more than one or two of the pills needed to be consumed . It needed to be taken over long periods of time to show material effects .
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Che asked, “Uncle Huang, how often does a person have to consume this new body tempering pill?”
It was Huang Juyun’s turn to think for a moment before replying, “This… it varies depending on the individual . Some people can absorb the pill faster, while some slower . On average, however, three days is more than enough for the medicinal pill to run its course fully on anyone .
“Not only that, no resistance to this pill will be developed after consuming it . In other words, you can keep consuming the pill for its full effects as long as you’re willing to spend the money . You can even treat it as candy . ”
When he heard this part, Zhang Che couldn’t resist grinning .
Taking a pill every three days would average out to ten million dollars a day . If someone was to take it over an extended period of time, it would cost them over three hundred thousand purple crystal points a year!
It wasn’t much for the stronger high-tier beastmasters, but for those who had just achieved high-tier and didn’t have a powerful subdued beast, it would sting!
To put it in perspective, a mid-tier legend-quality beast card was worth about a million purple crystal points, and less than one percent of the population of mid-tier and higher beastmasters possessed a legend-quality beast card!
Forget it . It was better to leave this headache to the others . This was their business anyway . Zhang Che wouldn’t feel the slightest heartache even if he consumed a whole bottle of body tempering pills every day .
Afterwards, Zhang Che found a quiet room in the research institute and consumed one of the new body tempering pills . The pill melted the moment it entered his mouth, turning into an extremely gentle fluid that flowed down his throat .

When this gentle fluid flowed into his stomach, it quickly vaporized and turned into a gush of energy, spreading all over his body . With the addition of the energy contained in this medicinal pill, the effects of the golden spiritual force inside Zhang Che tempering his body almost doubled!
The effects were truly too good! With this, Zhang Che was confident of catching up to the cultivation of experienced Tier Seven beastmasters in the near future!
Of course, it was limited to the progress of his cultivation . As for the strength of his physique, others couldn’t compare to a monster like him!
Ignoring the effects granted by the Berserker Bear card, his physique from before had already surpassed some Tier Seven beastmasters . After all, it was altered by the demonic flower, not to mention him eating two Poison-Fire Twin-Headed Dragon eggs . His physique couldn’t be measured by normal standards .
If the Berserker Bear card’s effects were to be included, just strength… that really couldn’t be compared . Even Tier Nine beastmasters wouldn’t have strength comparable to Zhang Che . Just looking at toughness of physique, there really weren’t many who were comparable to him among Tier Seven beastmasters .
Time slowly passed . An hour later, Zhang Che opened his eyes, ending his short cultivating session .
It didn’t mean that he had fully absorbed the new body tempering pill’s effects, but the medicine had fully dissolved, settling in his flesh and blood . The medicinal pill was still in effect, but Zhang Che didn’t have to maintain a cultivating state .
“But it seems like I have already absorbed a third of the medicinal strength over this past hour . Although it has weakened by quite a bit, from the looks of it, I will have fully absorbed this body tempering pill in another five or six hours!” Zhang Che made some rough calculations, the conclusion shocking even him!

In other words, wasn’t he able to digest more than three of these new body tempering pills a day? Huang Juyun’s data had shown that a Tier Seven beastmaster would take around three days to fully digest a pill . Even those who could do it faster would only be able to absorb one pill per day at the most!
Even so, Zhang Che was three times faster than them!
“Am I really a genius?” Zhang Che shook his head . He was no genius . At the most, his spiritual sea was naturally wider, and had stronger spiritual force than others due to the souls of him and his predecessor combining into one .
It was absolutely impossible that he was three times better than ordinary geniuses . Since that was so, there could only be one reason… Spiritual force!
It must be because Zhang Che’s spiritual force was several times stronger than that of others after being refined by the golden vortex, and was displaying such powerful effects here .
It made sense, thinking about it . After the golden vortex’s refinement, Zhang Che’s spiritual force was left with only one-tenth of the original amount . There had probably been a qualitative improvement to Zhang Che’s spiritual force after being refined to such a degree .
Regrettably, it had only been thirty-some years since the arrival of the new age . Research on this was pathetically scarce . Zhang Che didn’t know whether his situation was an anomaly, or if there were others like him .
However, even if such mutation had occurred in others, their numbers could surely be counted with his fingers . It would be extremely difficult to learn anything about it .
“I’ll just see how this goes . It’s fine even if I don’t understand anything . Big boss rainbow crystal still lives inside my spiritual sea, anyway . Under its secret influence, even if I don’t understand things now, a day will come when material effects are displayed . At that time, everything will become clear . ”

Zhang Che didn’t waste any more time on this . He’d slowly come to understand things naturally, so there was no need to hurt his brain over this now . In any case, judging from his current situation, it was definitely not a bad thing .
When Zhang Che came out of the cultivation room, Huang Juyun asked curiously, “Xiaoche, how much of the medicinal effect have you absorbed? And how’s the absorption rate of the remaining medicinal strength?”
Zhang Che decided to not tell his father-in-law the truth, since it might shock him . Thus, he said, “I absorbed about one-fifth of the medicinal strength . I’ll probably take half a day or so to fully absorb the rest of the pill . ”
Huang Juyun immediately raised his eyebrows in surprise . “You absorbed one-fifth of it in one go? And you need less than twenty hours to fully absorb the medicinal strength? You’re amazing!
“According to the data we’ve gathered so far, less than ten percent of the beastmasters could absorb the medicinal pill completely in one day!”
Huang Juyun was truly shocked . In truth, far less than ten percent of those who underwent the tests were able to fully absorb the medicinal strength in a day . Otherwise, the average time taken wouldn’t be as long as three days!
Even so, Huang Juyun had no idea that Zhang Che had already heavily understated the time he needed to do so . If he were to learn that Zhang Che only needed about six hours to fully absorb the medicinal strength in a pill, and he could take three pills a day, excluding the time for sleep, his jaw would probably dislocate from the shock!
In order to save his father-in-law from the embarrassment, Zhang Che decided to tell a little lie…
