Everyone around was dressed more luxuriously one after another.
These people who can stand firm in the Capital City, have likely worked in the Pill business for many years.
Their family foundations were very strong, and the channels for distributing pills in their hands probably spread throughout Great Wei, and even across multiple countries.
Such a force would have the Yun Family pleading with them in the past.
It was unknown how much profit had to be ceded to gain their favor.
But nowadays, they all knew clearly in their hearts.
In the realm of pills, the Yun Family had already begun to seize the right to speak.
Middle-grade pills like the Qi-Enhancing Pill and the Replenishing Pill were priced at only sixty percent of what they used to be.
Even if they increased the prices after opening sales channels, raising them to seventy or eighty percent of the old prices, no other dicine-refining force could compete with the Yun Family.
What made these Capital City pharmacists even more nervous was that the Yun Family also had accomplishnts in high-grade pills.
Not only was the production astonishing, but it also seed that they had comprehended the technique from the Xue Family of the Yan Country of pounding pills.
In this way, even at the old prices, the Yun Family’s pills would still be in high demand.
"Patriarch Yun, Young Master Yun, I am the shopkeeper of Qinyu Pharmacy, and today I have set up a banquet at the restaurant..."
"Honorable guests, I am the young master of Qilian Pharmacy. Whatever I say is counted at our pharmacy, so please..."
The Patriarch Yun and the uncle of the Yun Family were frowning deeply, hearing these words made them quite irritable.
"Let’s talk so other ti; I still have important matters at hand."
The Yun family’s father and son showed impatience on their faces and gently pushed through the crowd, heading in the direction of Tianyi Academy.
However, the crowd was not that easy to disperse.
To earn a profit, first is persistence, second is to be shaless, third is to persist in being shaless.
Even if the Yun family father and son did not show them a good face, quite a few people still followed behind them, constantly talking about their own advantages.
These people were well-known figures in the Capital City.
Following like this also attracted a lot of attention.
In the end, it was the Patriarch Yun who declared that whoever continued to annoy them like this would have no chance of cooperation with the Yun Family in the future.
After this stern warning, the surrounding people finally restrained themselves a bit.
The father and son went straight to Tianyi Academy, and seeing Shen Han waiting at the gate of the academy, their previously sullen faces showed a hint of a smile.
"Grandfather, Uncle~"
Shen Han also showed a hint of a smile, although Shen Lingsheng and Madam Yun had already separated, Shen Han did not intend to change what he called them.
In fact, between himself and Shen Lingsheng, there was not much connection.
"Are you still accustod to living in this Capital City? You seem to have lost a bit of weight?"
The Patriarch Yun looked Shen Han up and down, observing Shen Han’s changes.
When communicating with Madam Yun, Shen Han always talked about the good things he encountered, always reporting the good news and not the bad.
"In the academy, I have a small courtyard to myself, much more comfortable than when I was at the Shen Mansion, it’s quite good."
Upon hearing this, the uncle of the Yun Family smiled and shook his head.
"You child, you can only eat two pieces of naan bread a day and still would say it’s quite good."
Shen Han could only smile awkwardly, following the two of them to a rather luxurious restaurant.
The private room was very private, and only then did Shen Han take out the Vermilion Cloud Ginseng.
Just as Shen Han described, it was yellowish-white all over, exuding a faint bloody sll.
It was indeed the Vermilion Cloud Ginseng.
The Patriarch Yun observed it closely for a while.
"The dicinal properties have already dissipated by nearly thirty percent, probably due to improper storage conditions, and the storage ti was a bit too long."
Shen Han listened earnestly; he did not know much about the properties of dicinal materials.
The Patriarch Yun felt so regret, but more of it was joy.
"Although the dicinal properties have diminished sowhat, the Vermilion Cloud Ginseng is still nearly a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure; even so, it’s still a rare treasure.
Moreover, this dicinal herb is sowhat special as its dicinal properties are overly fierce.
In order to refine Vermilion Cloud Ginseng, various thods are needed to reduce its potency."
Upon hearing this, Shen Han understood the implication and realized that the loss of dicinal properties would not have too much impact.
But there was one thing Shen Han did not understand: why did the ridian activating effect warrant an orange attribute bar?
To know the orange attribute bar was sothing Shen Han had encountered, the highest-grade bar, very rare.
The term "ridian activating" did not seem to hold any mystical qualities.
Upon asking his doubts, Shen Han finally understood; he had not grasped its true essence.
The so-called "ridian activating" was not what Shen Han understood as enhancing and nourishing the ridians.
The "activate" and "smooth" were literal anings.
Many cultivators have experienced ridian issues due to cultivation.
The issues are varied, like Dugu Tian’s reversed flow issue, which is one type.
More severe cases lead to direct rupture of ridians.
And "ridian activating" has the miraculous effect of healing and reconnecting broken ridians.
If the ridians are healthy, there is no real need for it; it would be used to exchange for so gold and treasure at most.
However, for those with ridian ailnts, it is practically the most wonderful thing on earth.
"Grandfather, how many pills can be refined from this dicinal herb?"
"At most two, but Han, you must know, pills refined from Vermilion Cloud Ginseng, as long as there’s a suitable buyer,
it is possible to exchange them for the highest grade of magical artifacts!"
It was precisely because of its rarity that the Patriarch Yun hurried to help.
Upon hearing this, Shen Han nodded.
"If we can refine two, that would still be good. This Vermilion Cloud Ginseng was found by Mr. Zhong Nan of the academy, who inford of the secret realm’s location.
It would be fitting to give a pill to Mr. Zhong Nan to repay his kindness."
Upon saying this, the father and uncle of the Yun Family were taken aback.
"Han, have you thought this through? This is Vermilion Cloud Ginseng...
Encountering it once in a lifeti is a great fortune, are you really going to give it away...
The uncle of the Yun Family wanted to persuade Shen Han; taking these pills to exchange for treasures could benefit Shen Han significantly more.
"If Mr. Zhong Nan hadn’t inford of the secret realm’s location, I wouldn’t even have encountered this precious treasure. I ought to repay the favor."
The uncle saw reason in Shen Han’s decision, knowing well Shen Han’s nature.
When soone treats him well, he would return the favor tenfold.
"In the next couple of days, we will refine this pill in the Capital City, and once the pill is ford, I will co to the academy with your grandfather to find you."
Shen Han nodded, and after making a ceremonial farewell, he returned to Tianyi Academy.
The first thing he did was to report his safety to Mr. Zhong Nan.
Upon hearing that Shen Han had indeed deciphered the secret realm, Zhong Nan was so shocked that his eyes widened.
Items like secret realms require luck to encounter.
And more so to decipher.
It’s not purely based on intelligence and wisdom that one can navigate through a secret realm.
Knowing that Shen Han intended to share half of the Vermilion Cloud Ginseng he obtained, Zhong Nan was even more stunned.
Though he had never seen Vermilion Cloud Ginseng, he had heard about it many tis.
Because of Dugu Tian’s reversed ridian flow, Vermilion Cloud Ginseng was required for treatnt.
Such heavenly materials and earthly treasures, not to ntion the imnse wealth required to buy them,
but even finding soone willing to sell them is extrely difficult.
