Jin Yu was a little embarrassed. He had actually guessed wrong? That couldn't be!
Qi Zhiheng said, "Try it yourself."
"Oh, okay." Jin Yu quickly did as instructed and swallowed the pill.
Unlike Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian, who only underwent minor changes, Jin Yu's entire body began to ooze oil, as if the fat on his body had melted away and turned into oil that seeped out from his skin pores.
Qi Zhiheng was also startled by the scene.
Jin Yu panicked: "I...I...how did I get my makeup done?!"
"Don't panic!" Qi Zhiheng said calmly, "First, examine your own condition and see if the impurities have decreased."
Qi Zhiheng's voice sounded very reliable, and Jin Yu, who was originally flustered, was unconsciously calmed down and focused on his own situation within the alliance.
In reality, Qi Zhiheng was not as calm as he appeared! After all, he was the one who concocted this pill; if there were any problems, it wouldn't be impossible...
If Jin Yu were to truly become completely transformed, not only would his inner demons resurface and cause trouble, but the Jin family and the Yuansheng Academy would also not let him off the hook, since he would be harming his fellow disciples!
Fortunately, Jin Yu's "oil" stopped after it had seeped out a little.
After examining himself, Jin Yu exclaimed in surprise, "The impurities in my body have decreased by at least 10%!"
Qi Zhiheng felt a little relieved and continued to remind him, "Try to see if there are any problems with the circulation of spiritual energy."
Jin Yu tried everything Qi Zhiheng suggested, and apart from getting covered in grease, there were no other problems.
Only after arriving here did Qi Zhiheng finally feel relieved.
Looking at his noticeably thinner figure, Jin Yu exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Qi! Your pills can even help with weight loss! Look at me, I've lost so much weight!"
Yang Yitian said with some disdain, "You should go and take care of yourself. The oil on your body could fry vegetables for a month."
Qi Zhiheng frowned at his words, feeling a bit nauseous: "Why did you bring this up?"
Jin Yu said somewhat, "You can't blame me for this. You didn't even give me a heads-up before telling me to eat it. Were you just trying to make a fool of me?"
As he spoke, he lifted the greasy hem of his clothes and walked towards the bathhouse: "I won't entertain you today. I'll go wash up first and then visit your courtyard later."
After agreeing, Qi Zhiheng hurriedly took Yang Yitian away. After leaving the house, he stared at Yang Yitian for a long time.
Yang Yitian looked back and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Let me wash my eyes," Qi Zhiheng said after thinking for a moment. Jin Yu's appearance just now was really too much for his eyes.
Yang Yitian was secretly pleased: "You're saying I'm good-looking?"
"I guess so." Qi Zhiheng pulled the person away quickly, ignoring the slight discomfort.
After tidying herself up, Jin Yu admired her figure for a while before heading to Qi Zhiheng's courtyard.
With Jin An added, the four of them sat facing each other.
Qi Zhiheng understood from the effects of Jin Yu's consumption that this elixir had different effects on spiritual cultivation at different levels. For severe patients like Jin Yu, the effect of clearing impurities was the best.
Therefore, Qi Zhiheng plans to sell these pills to these severely ill patients first, and then sell them to other spiritual cultivators once the price is set.
Jin Yu recounted his experience after consuming the spirit wine. He noted that a significant amount of impurities in his body had been cleared, but his spiritual power had also been somewhat weakened. Originally, he had gained a considerable amount of cultivation power thanks to the spirit wine, but that small portion of the impurities had been removed along with it.
Jin Yu had no complaints; he could feel that the spiritual energy on his body had become more condensed.
Qi Zhiheng recorded all the experimental results.
Jin Yu smiled ingratiatingly, "Brother Qi! Do you have any more pills? Could you give me a few more?"
They used to call each other "Brother Qi," but now they all call each other "Brother Qi."
Qi Zhiheng sighed, "Some people are willing to sell their souls for a little bit of elixir."
Qi Zhiheng took out a bottle of pills and tossed it to him: "Take one pill every three days. I'll be making some later, so help me sell them."
Qi Zhi gave out only high-grade pills; he kept the top-grade pills for himself. Although the effects of these pills were minimal for him, something was better than nothing.
"Try it first and see if it works. Come back and tell me about your experience after a while." Qi Zhiheng gave away these pills for free. As long as Jin Yu had no problems after taking them, the advertisement for these pills could be launched.
After Jin Yu left with the pills, Qi Zhiheng focused on refining the Cleansing Pills, determined to stockpile as many pills as possible before Jin Yu's effects became apparent.
Ordinary level three pills, even the highest grade ones can sell for around one hundred spirit stones each. Special pills can fetch a higher price, and if you have a special level three top-grade pill, it's not impossible to sell it for five hundred spirit stones.
Qi Zhiheng estimated that his pill was a rather special type. Moreover, there were no similar pills on the market, so it should fetch a good price in the early stages.
Qi Zhiheng wasn't greedy and planned to sell each one for three hundred spirit stones.
The spirit wines they sold before are now almost immune to by the young masters. If they want to sell more wine in the future, they need to brew higher-grade spirit wines. Higher-grade spirit wines have complicated brewing methods and take a long time to brew, and Qi Zhiheng is unwilling to put in the effort in that regard.
Ten days later, Jin Yu visited Qi Zhiheng again.
Qi Zhiheng looked at Jin Yu, who could only be described as slightly chubby, and said, "It seems that the pill is quite effective. It even washed away your excess fat."
Qi Zhiheng was joking when he said that. Although the fat on his body looked like ordinary fat, it actually contained a lot of impurities.
Jin Yu couldn't hide his smile as he showed off to Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian, saying, "Brother Qi! Don't I look a lot more handsome now?"
Qi Zhiheng nodded and said, "He does look somewhat respectable now."
Jin Yu didn't refute anything at this moment. His skin was thicker than a city wall. Not only was he not angry, but he also greeted him with a smile: "You are my second parents! Whatever you say goes!"
Qi Zhiheng didn't bother with such nonsense and steered the conversation to the point: "How effective are the pills?"
Jin Yu also became serious: "The first time I took it, it removed about 10% of the impurities. The second time, it removed the remaining 10%. The third and fourth times, it removed even less. Taking it again now should still have some effect, but not as much as it could at the beginning."
Qi Zhiheng thought this was quite normal. The most superficial impurities could be basically cleared away when the first Cleansing Pill was taken. The remaining impurities were more difficult to remove, and naturally, they became more difficult to remove as time went on.
These past few days, when Jin Yu went out, everyone he knew stared at him in disbelief. Many female spiritual cultivators who knew Jin Yu came up to him to ask what kind of weight loss pills he had taken.
Of course, a small portion of Jin Yu's cultivation level has been cleared away, and while a price has been paid, the rewards have been gratifying.
Jin Yu is now able to cultivate by absorbing spiritual energy from the air, which is nothing compared to the little bit of cultivation he lost.
Qi Zhiheng took out some pills and gave them to Jin Yu, asking him to help sell them at the originally agreed price of three hundred spirit stones per pill. How much Jin Yu could earn depended on his own abilities.
Jin Yu himself is an advertisement. In fact, people had inquired about his situation a few days ago, but Jin Yu was not sure what Qi Zhiheng was thinking. Now that he has obtained the pill, he naturally wants to show it off.
There are people who look down on Jin Yu. Besides losing weight, Jin Yu's cultivation level has also decreased, which inevitably leads to some ridicule.
Jin Yu was distributing pills to several young masters who were also struggling with too many impurities in their cultivation: "Three hundred and fifty spirit stones each! Don't forget to give me spirit stones."
Putting everything else aside, the fact that Jin Yu can now cultivate without relying on comprehension alone makes it worthwhile for everyone to buy one and try it out.
Ji Qiuhan, along with Yang Yiqian and several friends, happened to pass by and saw the group surrounding Jin Yu.
Si Hao looked at the group of underachievers crowding in front of him and said sarcastically, "Birds of a feather flock together, a bunch of good-for-nothings like to stick together."
Those who were able to buy this pill from Jin Yu from the very beginning were naturally spiritual cultivators with mediocre aptitude. They were able to enter the inner courtyard only through financial means. None of the people gathered here now were from Class A.
Jin Yu looked at Si Hao in front of him with a smile on his face, but did not say anything.
Si Hao was a member of the Si family in the imperial city, and his status was comparable to that of the Jin family. They were all disciples of the Yuansheng Academy, but Si Hao was in Class A, while he was a newly promoted Class B disciple. Jin Yu didn't want to offend him openly, so he just smiled and left with his entourage.
Si Hao watched the person's departing figure with a disdainful expression.
"Jin Yu, I'm not trying to be mean, but just because he talks about us like that, we're not going to fight back?" one disciple said, somewhat dissatisfied.
Jin Yu glanced at him and said, "What do you think this is? The imperial city?"
No one spoke. Back in the outer courtyard, everyone was of similar status, and each of them had some skilled bodyguards with them when they went out. So, when they argued, no one could gain much of an advantage.
However, once you enter Genseiin, the situation will change dramatically.
Jin Yu continued distributing the pills: "In the Yuansheng Academy, you have to rely on your strength. Right now, he's a disciple of Class A, with a higher cultivation level and stronger strength than you. What's the use of your verbal skills? He can take you down in one move! You'd better take advantage of the remaining time to quickly improve your cultivation level, so that when outer academy disciples challenge you, you won't have a hard time dealing with them."
The semi-annual competition between the outer and inner courts is approaching. After the disciples from classes B, C, and D have finished their challenges, the outer court disciples will have the opportunity to challenge the inner court disciples.
What they should do now is to consolidate their strength so that they don't lose their status as inner court disciples in the future.
Hearing what he said, the others felt guilty and dared not say anything more.
