Chapter 477: Win-Win

Master Kunni'er was utterly shocked.

This isn't a dream!

This is real!

He actually saw a fifth-grade divine medicine with his own eyes!

"What a powerful aura! What a pure divine rhythm! What a perfect ratio!"

This "pirated pill" seemed to turn into a set of data in his eyes, being rapidly analyzed.

The shop owner Kezi didn't dare breathe, staring fixedly at Kunni'er, waiting for him to announce the result.

"Wait, this…… isn't right!"

After staring at the divine medicine for a while, Kunni'er's aged face suddenly changed expression.

"Master, what's wrong? What's not right?" the shop owner asked urgently.

Kunni'er's eyes remained fixed on the divine medicine, refusing to look away, while his head kept shaking.

"No, no no no……"

"How could this be?"

"This, this actually is……"

He wore an expression of disbelief.

After a moment, only under the urging of the anxious shop owner Kezi did he say: "This divine medicine is fake…… no, it can't be called fake; it, it…… sigh! How should I put it!"

The pirated pill was too special—so special that he momentarily ran out of words.

Although he hadn't finished speaking, upon hearing this, shop owner Kezi understood that Xiao Feng wasn't deceiving him.

This medicine truly isn't a super divine medicine that directly raises one by 100 levels; it's a counterfeit!

"How could this be……"

The shop owner staggered back half a step, looking dazed.

Master Kunni'er organized his words and slowly said: "This medicine, in fact, should be considered real. But its effect differs from what it appears to be; it cannot directly enhance cultivation, but only enhances the aura, making the user look extremely powerful, while in reality, their strength remains unchanged."

"Ah……" the shop owner gave a bitter smile; the worst outcome had appeared, his mood grew heavy, and he could no longer feel happy.

Master Kunni'er was still evaluating, then added: "Although it cannot truly enhance strength, the technique and ratio of this pill-making are absolutely perfect, almost indistinguishable from a divine medicine that genuinely boosts strength. I have studied pill-making for a thousand years and have never seen such a miraculous pill. This is a miracle! Perhaps… only the powerful beings of the mysterious cultivation civilization could concoct such a special divine medicine!"

The cultivation civilization……

Xiao Feng's mouth twitched.

That's quite right; the term "Creation Holy Pill" indeed has a hint of cultivation flavor, utterly different from a fantasy world.

Moreover, cultivators refining pills are surely formidable, which also fits the setting.

"Thank you, Master, for helping with the appraisal; although it's a fake medicine, we're still satisfied." Xiao Feng said politely.

Master Kunni'er waved his hands repeatedly, saying it's unnecessary, and emphasized: "Strictly speaking, this isn't a fake medicine; it was originally crafted to disguise one's aura. It must be a protective item prepared by some powerful beings of the cultivation civilization for their descendants. After all, it's a fifth-grade divine medicine—hard to find even a few in Yuan Su Shen Yu. It's an honor for me to appraise it for you, old man."

Despite that, Xiao Feng still expressed his thanks again.

After a while, he then left together with the shop owner.

They left Master Kunni'er's pill-making house and came to an empty reception hall.

The shop owner Kezi was utterly dazed, as if his soul had been sucked out, slumping softly in his chair.

"It's over, over…… I thought this was a divine pill, but I never expected it to be fake."

That expression was more painful than crying; he looked pitiable.

Xiao Feng comforted: "Although it's fake, it's still somewhat useful to me, so I'm still willing to exchange it."

The owner wore a bitter expression: "But the thing you get in exchange isn't the same……"

He had originally wanted to exchange two superior divine artifacts, but now he could only exchange one medium-grade divine artifact, a loss so great it felt like losing to his grandmother's house.

Seeing his misery, Xiao Feng thought and said: "I can give you a superior divine artifact. Don't take it too hard—if this were genuine, its effect of raising one by 100 levels would certainly be more than fifth-grade; it would be sixth-grade quality. Such a treasure would make even the main god envious; you couldn't possibly keep it."

That too is a true statement.

A medicine that truly raises one by 100 levels is absolutely rare in the world!

Even in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, it belongs to the top-tier rare items.

Although at most one can raise to level 500, the amount of cultivation needed for levels 400–500 is an astronomical figure.

To cross such a great realm in one breath is already worthy of being called a heaven-defying divine object!

A mere demigod-level shop owner could never keep such a treasure. Even a slight leak of news would see it snatched away, or even lead to murder to silence him.

As they spoke, Xiao Feng produced a superior divine artifact and handed it to the shop owner Kezi.

The medicine box was already in He Er Na's hand, so no further exchange was needed.

"Guest, you……"

The shop owner held the superior divine artifact in his hands, his expression somewhat excited, more so astonished.

"This is a superior divine artifact worth over a million divine stones!"

The value of divine artifacts exceeds that of divine medicines.

Especially superior and supreme divine artifacts—their numbers in Shen Jie are extremely limited, each one attracting much pursuit and even bloodshed.

A piece of leg armor of superior divine artifact quality appeared before them; to the shop owner with demigod-level strength, it was like a mountain piled up from divine power crystals.

His mood was very complex, rising and falling, hard to calm.

Xiao Feng then said indifferently: "Anyway, I have no use for it; you just take it. If nothing else, we'll be on our way."

Having said that, he rose to his feet directly.

"Wait, wait, you two!"

The shop owner put away the superior divine artifact, feeling uneasy in his heart.

He came after them, saying: "Since you're being so generous, I can't be stingy either. Come with me—take whatever medicine you want from my shop, as much as you like, no need to be polite!" Then he led the two toward the shop front.

The shop also has a level 200 assistant helping to watch over things.

When the three arrived, the boss grabbed a few bottles of the blood‑restoring Divine Healing Pill and mana‑restoring Primordial Spirit Pill from the display case and shoved them into Xiao Feng's hands.

Each bottle contains 99 pills, making up one set.

Three sets of each are needed, requiring a total of 9000 divine power crystals.

Compared to a top‑tier divine artifact worth over a million, it's still far too cheap!

The boss still felt it wasn't enough and produced two even more precious healing medicines for them.

【Strong Divine Healing Pill】: Instantly restores 20% of HP; same‑type items have a 60‑second cooldown (original price 4200 divine stones per set).

【Redeeming Potion】: Restores 1% HP per second for 20 seconds; same‑name items have a 60‑second cooldown (original price 4000 divine stones per set).

Both potions are superior to the Divine Healing Pill, and their cooldowns are independent, so they can be taken together.

All three healing medicines are inferior to 【Saint Yuan Pill】, but they are already quite good; Xiao Feng is very satisfied.

「Thank you, boss! 」

He sincerely thanked him, exchanged a few pleasantries with the boss, and only after a few minutes did he leave the pharmacy.

In the end, both parties were very satisfied!

After leaving, Xiao Feng and He Er Na floated off the ground and quickly left the street.

Only after they had gone far did Xiao Feng relax his expression control and burst out laughing.

「He Er Na, this round was awesome! 」 he laughed.

「What's so great about it? Master, this is ultimately fake medicine; there's no way to let you instantly reach a high realm. 」 He Er Na said, puzzled.
