Olaric paused for a moment before he slowly poured out the pill from the jade bottle into his palm. He narrowed his eyes to observe the pill, and the expression on his face became more and more serious.
Then, he scraped out some powder from the pill and sampled it by placing the powder on the tip of his tongue.
Just then, his face began to change into different expressions. He frowned, grinned, and his facial muscles trembled, as if he had tasted something unusual. He tossed the entire pill directly into his mouth and savored the taste of the pill.
After a while, Olaric's eyes suddenly lit up in excitement. He stared at Fade and asked, "How... How did you make this pill? How did you do it?"
The corners of Fade's mouth quirked up as he said, "Olaric, can you tell me what is your judgment on the authenticity of my pills now?"
Manager Liu and Romeo looked at Olaric curiously, and their faces were full of expectation.
Olaric sighed. "This pill lives up to its name. It can indeed prolong a person's life. It may even be more effective than what Mr. Chen has claimed. If taken for several months, the pill may extend one's life by two or three years."
"Dr. Huang, is this true?" Manager Liu was intrigued.
As Encyclo Hall's manager, he knew exactly what the rich martial artists were seeking after-power, money, and strength. However, what they yearned for the most, was longevity.
The higher their status, the more afraid of death they were, and the more desperate they were to pursue longevity.
The medicine that Fade presented indeed had the effect of longevity and the results were significant. If they announced this information publicly, the rich and influential people in the entire Capital City would probably kill to get their hands on it.
Olaric was certain about the value of this medicine. He nodded excitedly. "Yes, it's absolutely true, I have tasted it. The technique used to combine the ingredients in this pill to achieve the effect of prolonging life is unique, even I have never thought of using it."
Fade crossed his hands over his chest and watched them with a grin on his face.
Olaric stood in front of Fade, bowed, and pleaded, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. I was blind."
Fade smiled and helped Olaric up. "You're too serious, Dr. Huang. In fact, I should ask for your forgiveness for provoking you earlier." "It's my fault. I am the one who should apologize," Mr. Huang sighed.
"It should be me—" Fade argued.
Romeo couldn't stand watching them argue anymore. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Huang, Fade, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, it's all good now. Please stop apologizing to each other! Mr. Liu will be worried to death."
Manager Liu rubbed his hands anxiously and approached them excitedly. He said to Fade, "Mr. Chen, how many nourishing pills do you have left? What's the price that you would like to auction it for? Do you have any concerns? Do you—"
Fade smiled and interrupted, "There is not much stock left. I only have ten bottles in total. As for the price, you may set it according to the market condition!"
"Only ten bottles!" Manager Liu thought it was unfortunate.
Olaric glared at Manager Liu and chided, "Ten bottles of this miraculous pill that can prolong one's life, and you still think it's too little? Do you think we are selling cabbage?"
