Way of the Knights

---"

Everyone, you've all seen it first hand. This is the effect of the Body Restoration Fluid. It speeds up the body's recovery from exhaustion while simultaneously strengthening it. The more the body is exhausted, the more effective this product gets."

When Anne explained the benefits of the Body Restoration Fluid, the crowd buzzed into an uproar.Moonshine was already enough to make them speechless and now this? Does Richard want to shock them to death? None of the people here were dumb. Even though Anne briefly explained the benefits of the Body Restoration Fluid, one could easily imagine it's fearsomeness. With this, anyone's training time would be greatly enhanced, in turn this will raise the quality of their descendants or maybe even themselves. This medicine will be a hot commodity to those who could afford it, if they use it wisely, then perhaps they could further go down the path of Knighthood.

"The price of each vial is set to 5 gold cards." Anne's dropped yet another bomb that nearly went everyone mad. "Yes, everyone heard it correctly. The Body Restoration Fluids' price would be set to 5 gold, well at least this version anyway."

"You see everyone, this Body Restoration Liquid is actually the lowest grade that Director Richard could afford to concoct. It would only effect those who reached Warrior Realm and below." Anne looked at the shocked faces of the crowd and continued, "I have the same reactions as well. A pity that most of the pavilion's business partners pulled out, we might not see a more potent version of this."

Though he words sounded like she was disappointed, it contained a terrifyingly sharp meaning. Due to her words, most of the people here started openly cursing the people who turned their backs against the pavilion. Coincidentally, some of those people were actually here, and their expressions are nothing short of wonderful. They have been contemplating for a while and wishing that Richard would not take offense for them bailing out. Richard was a businessman himself, and he knew that struggles of investing, surely he understood their decisions right? He won't ban them from buying these medicines right?

"Now that the Body Restoration Fluid is revealed, why don't we move on towards the next product?" Anne gathered the attention of the crowd once more with her pleasant voice.

The servants once again stepped forward and placed another stand beside the previous one, this time there is a crate with a few pill bottles in it, after servants retreated. Anne stepped next to the new product and looked at the eager expressions of the crowd.

"Just like what we did earlier, I will instead let this product speak for itself before it reveal it's details as well as it's name."

She then roamed her gaze towards the crowd, hey eyes lost focus for a moment due to her hearing a voice transmission from a friend. She then looked at someone and smiled sweetly.

"Sir? Would you like to test our new product?"

This question was aimed towards one of Ellen's clan members, this person immediately became the sole focus of the crowd and even he himself was dumbstruck about the sudden invitation, he sneakily glanced at Bradley, seemingly asking for permission when he suddenly heard Ellen's voice.

"Go ahead. It will be good for you." Even Bradley was stunned by Ellen's urging, since his daughter already said something, it would rather be rude if he didn't give his permission. When the person received the go signal, he hurriedly went towards the stage and joined Anne. "Could you please introduce yourself to the crowd?" Anne asked politely. The guy nodded and started introducing himself.

"My name is Armond, an Elder of the Vermillion Sky Clan." His clear voice was heard.

"Well met Sir Armond." Anne greeted, "May I ask what cultivation realm are you in?"

"I am at Warrior Realm." After Soldier Realm comes Warrior Realm, this realm is further divided into three stages: Junior, Senior and Veteran Stages.

"If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been in this realm?" Anne carefully asked. Hearing her question, a slightly sad smile could be seen in Alexander's face yet it wasn't because he was offended but because it truly is sad.

"Well, I've been stuck at this realm for at least 7 years now." Many people reacted but weren't really shocked, they thought that it was slightly unfortunate for him to be stuck at this stage for that long. It had to be known that the higher one's cultivation went, the harder it is to make any progress. He wasn't the only one who experienced this, there's even people who were worse than him.

"So I see." Anne nodded, all this time she never changed her facial expressions making it hard to really figure out her true intentions. "Why don't we start the pill testing? Please enter a meditative state."

Alexander nodded and did what he's asked to, after a minute or so everyone could feel that he already entered the state. Anne carefully uncorked a bottle under everyone's gazes and took a pill out of the bottle before placing the cork back. Using her delicate hands, she placed the pill on Alexander's lips and pushed it a bit. When he felt this, Alexander knew that she must've wanted him to swallow the pill. Without hesitating, swallowed the pill down and waited

"Once you feel a warm sensation on your stomach, please start cultivating." Anne's voice drifted to his ears, he inwardly nodded and observed his body closely.

It didn't took long before he felt the warmth that Anne was referring to, without dallying, he immediately circulated his technique and as soon as he did, he nearly fainted from shock.

A tsunami of pure and incredibly dense energy rushed through his energy network. Due to his shock, he lost control over the circulation of his technique yet he was yet again shocked numb since the energy was precisely circulating according to the pathway of his technique without his control.

This wave of energy was seemingly endless, the density of his energy multiple by at least half over the span of a few minutes. What's shocking is that it still wasn't stopping at all! Ten minutes later and the density of his energies were doubled. Suddenly, he felt some strange obstruction. Like something was preventing his energies from freely flowing through his body. His eyes brightened as he immediately realized what this was. His heart burned with longing and decisiveness, with a low growl he forcefully controlled of his energies to ram against that obstruction. And just like a snow on summer, the obstruction shattered and melted away.

Armond's body suddenly released a majestic and thick energy fluctuations. Everyone stared at him sitting there with a wild expression on his face. Some of the more sensitive folks already knew what was going on, the others were a tad bit slower than them but also had an idea. These thoughts however sent shivers to their spine.

The energy fluctuations intensified, upon reaching it's peak everyone heard a faint sound akin to a glass breaking. After that, the fluctuations declined but the aura surrounding Armonf hadn't. Anyone who still hasn't caught a clue of what was happening, finally realized what he experienced. A breakthrough.

Armond stood up in a blink of an eye and uttered a long howl. He gripped his fists and felt the new sensation spreading through his body with tears threatening to fall from his eyes. After 7 long years of painful enduring, he finally achieved a breakthrough. God knows how many resources he piled up, consumed and how many attempts he made to breakthrough. Yet now, with just a single pill, the barrier that was preventing him from making that leap was shattered like a fragile glass.

"The name of this pill is Energy Condensing Pill. It provides a great amount of energy which raise one's energy reserves by at least double. A careful warning though, this pill should not be consumed by those who are Soldier Realm and below directly. It would be a good a idea to dilute it bit by bit in water, that way it won't harm anyone."

Armond couldn't find it within himself to calm down. He hurriedly faced Anne and bowed towards her, however the latter hurriedly prevented him from doing so and said:

"I'm merely following instructions, if there's anyone you should thank then it would be the Director."

Armond was stunned but also agreed. He hurriedly faced Richard and performed a deep salute.

"Words cannot explain how thankful I am for this opportunity. If there's anything Director Richard needs me to do, I will gladly comply."

Richard smiled warmly and received the bow. "You deserved it. Use your new found strength to guide the future generations of you clan instead."

Armond's heart thumped. He was extremely touched from the bottom of his soul, he didn't expect Richard to have this humbleness and selflessness. Thinking back, he was depressed to recall that this is actually the last sale of this kind old man, yet instead of purposely overpricing each product for his personal benefit, he even lowered it so that everyone could afford it and experience it's wonderful effects.

In fact, it wasn't only him who was feeling the same way currently.
