On Earth, wealthy people often liked to purchase famous cars—things like Don’t Touch Me, Marallis, Lamborghini Bikinis, and the like.
The Xingyun Continent didn’t have cars, but it had horses.
So many tycoons mostly had the hobby of raising horses.
For example, Ai Shangni.
He kept six horses of different breeds at home, any one of which could sell for one hundred thousand taels!
For tycoons, raising and walking horses was a fashion.
Some people also liked to raise fierce beasts, but signing contracts with these things was extremely difficult, so very few martial artists could get their wish.
Returning from Qingyang City, Ai Shangni went to the stables.
The six horses he raised were majestic and imposing—one look and you could tell they were high-quality breeds with outstanding appearance!
Ai Shangni took out six Basic Beast Pills, threw them into the feeding trough, and said with a smile, “Today I’m bringing you a brand new type of feed.”
“Huff!”
The six horses lowered their heads and sniffed the pills with their noses, a trace of disdain rising in their eyes.
Accustomed to eating high-quality medicinal herbs, eating this kind of thing that resembled candy beans completely failed to arouse any appetite.
“Eat up.”
Ai Shangni said, “This was refined by Sect Master Jun and definitely has miraculous effects.”
Having witnessed the heaven-defying nature of the Healing Pills and Body-Shaping Pills, he didn’t believe Jun Changxiao would refine ordinary pills.
Since the master said so, then let’s give him face.
“Crunch.”
One fine horse first used its tongue to lick the pill into its mouth, then began chewing it crisply.
The next second, its gaze became dazed, then showed humanized joy, and it raised its head and whinnied loudly.
“Neigh!”
“Neigh!”
The other five horses also ate the Basic Beast Pills, neighing joyfully with hearts blooming like flowers, giving the impression they were extremely happy and delighted!
Seeing this, Ai Shangni immediately confirmed that this feed pill was very delicious—otherwise they wouldn’t have such an excited reaction!
Good taste wasn’t the key point.
The key point was: did it have nutritional value?
Not eating for ten days could certainly save money.
But if they didn’t gain weight or become stronger, it would be better to feed them several meals of fodder every day.
“I’ll ride one out for a stroll.”
Ai Shangni selected a fine horse, equipped it with a top-quality saddle, waved his riding crop, and rode out of the city, galloping through the mountain wilderness.
“Clop clop!”
The horse galloped, fierce wind assaulting.
Ai Shangni was shocked: “The speed is much faster than before!”
He switched horses one by one, and after riding all of them, the conclusion he reached was that horses that had eaten the feed pills were not only much faster in speed but also had significantly improved stamina!
The second day.
He didn’t have servants feed the horses, and when dusk arrived, the six horses were still as happy and delighted as yesterday.
Taking them out for another round, their speed and stamina were still as strong as ever!
“Good heavens!”
Ai Shangni was extremely shocked.
To him, even if this feed pill could only maintain two days without eating while keeping the horses in an excited state, it would already be incredibly miraculous!
“This kind of pill that can enhance a horse’s speed and stamina—let alone one hundred taels per pill, even one thousand taels per pill would be worth it!”
The big shots from major families were also shocked.
After returning home and testing, no matter what livestock they fed it to, after eating it they became excited as if injected with stimulants.
Especially young horses!
Fed on the first day, by the second day their physique had obviously grown considerably.
According to professional horse breeders’ judgment, this would normally require five or six days of feeding to achieve!
What did this indicate?
It indicated the feed pills were nutritionally rich!
This kind of pill that allowed going days without food while maintaining constant excitement and gaining weight was absolutely incredibly formidable!
……
“Holy crap!”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes widened.
At this moment, he was inside the wolf den not far from the isolation formation.
The wolf pups in the den that had consumed Basic Beast Pills showed physiques that had obviously changed greatly compared to a few days ago.
The adult wolves looked more robust!
He rode a Hurricane Wolf around the mountains for a lap and discovered the speed was considerably faster than before!
“This…”
Jun Changxiao said, “What’s going on?”
The system said, “The effect of Basic Beast Pills isn’t just preventing hunger—they also promote fierce beast growth and grant stronger bodies and endurance.”
“Similar to Body-Shaping Pills?” Jun Changxiao asked.
The system said, “It’s similar to a stimulant, keeping their bodies constantly in a state of high-speed excitement and high-speed growth.”
“Are there side effects?”
“No.”
“That’s good then.”
“A Hurricane Wolf pup’s growth cycle is about one year. From current observations, consuming Basic Beast Pills can shorten it to half a year.”
“Damn.”
Jun Changxiao grabbed his head frantically: “Why didn’t you say so earlier!”
From beginning to end, he had regarded Basic Beast Pills as Fasting Pills, never thinking that after consumption they could make fierce beasts grow faster.
Had he known this, he wouldn’t have priced them at one hundred taels but five hundred or even one thousand taels!
The system said, “I just analyzed this from the Hurricane Wolves’ changes. I didn’t understand the specific effects of Basic Beast Pills at the beginning either.”
“No good, no good.”
Jun Changxiao said, “The price must be raised!”
He could already imagine that the family big shots who purchased Basic Beast Pills would definitely come to buy in large quantities after testing the effects.
Sure enough.
On the third day, many family big shots realized the formidable nature of the feed pills and traveled hundreds of miles to come over.
Most of them had horse farms raising up to a thousand horses.
If they purchased large quantities of feed pills, they could not only save a huge amount of feed money but also allow the horses to grow rapidly—truly killing two birds with one stone!
“Why have the family big shots come again?”
“I heard they seem to be here to buy feed pills!”
“No way? Is this stuff really that amazing? Making them come back to purchase after leaving just a few days ago?”
The martial artists in the city looked bewildered.
Jun Changxiao, at the Iron Bones Sect, received the news and immediately gave the order: “Five hundred taels per pill. No bargaining.”
“You’ve got to be kidding?”
Inside the Iron Bones Beast Feed Store, a family head learned of this and collapsed: “Three days ago it was one hundred taels—how did the price increase, and by so much!”
The shop manager explained, “Three days ago, our small shop just opened and the feed pills were greatly discounted. Now that the promotion has ended, naturally we must return to the normal price.”
“…”
Everyone’s mouths twitched.
However, being able to make livestock and fierce beasts grow rapidly—even at five hundred taels per pill, it was acceptable!
And so, on this day the Iron Bones Beast Feed Store sold another 5,000 pills, earning 2.5 million taels with a profit of fully 2.4 million taels!
This was just the beginning.
Jun Changxiao firmly believed that once the feed pills’ effects spread throughout Qingyang Commandery, they would definitely attract even more customers.
“This won’t do.”
Cupping his chin, he said, “I need to open more branch stores.”
Jun Changxiao went to Huyang City and, with Family Head Ai’s operation, acquired a storefront in a prime location.
The other six cities also successively secured shop locations.
After selecting an auspicious day, the Iron Bones Beast Feed Stores in the seven cities of Qingyang Commandery all opened on the same day with gongs and drums making a clamor.
Horses were transportation tools.
Fast horses were definitely critically important.
Because they were involved not only in traveling and delivering messages but could very likely be related to life itself.
I am a Wutu being pursued by a Wuzong, but I’m not panicking at all because his horse isn’t as fast as mine.
With the popularization of feed pills.
This statement might no longer be a joke, no longer a punchline, but become reality.
