Chu Rong immediately confirmed that the launch of the new medicine by the Ning family really targeted the Chu family.

The optimized Stone Grass medicine has a strong soothing and calming effect on the spiritual power, which is much milder than the potion made by Qiao Zhiya himself. It was suitable for ordinary people and was cheaper and better than any existing spiritual power soothing agent available.

If the Ning family introduced a soothing agent this time, then the two would definitely be compared by the public this time. The Ning family has been the pharmaceutical giant for so many years. The people have great trust in the Ning family, and the Chu family would naturally lose.

“No, it may not be a soothing agent.” Qiao Zhiya said suddenly. He frowned, the asked in a hesitant manner, “I want to go to the Ning family’s exhibition area to confirm it myself, is that okay?” 

Chu Rong and Zhuang Yu looked at each other immediately. Chu Rong groaned and acquiesced, “Okay, I’ll go with you.”

The Ning family’s exhibition area was at the most central position on the third floor. After all, they were the winner of the holiday’s family topic selection. They definitely got some benefits. 

As soon as Qiao Zhiya stepped into the central area, he smelled a refreshing fragrance. His ears immediately stood up alertly, his expression became more serious, and his grip on Chu Rong’s hand tightened. 

“What’s wrong?” Chu Rong immediately squeezed his hand in comfort, asking about it.

“Let’s go back for now.” Qiao Zhiya didn’t answer him. He only glanced at the still-closed Ning family’s exhibition area, motioning Chu Rong to go back. 

The two turned around, and after confirming that no one was around, Qiao Zhiya immediately said, “It’s not a soothing potion, but an irritant. I won’t know the specific details unless I have a sample to tinker with. I smell not only Withered grass, but also Branched Pomegranate flowers.” 

It’s a flower from the Empire that has a paralyzing property towards spiritual power. After the initial paralysis, it induced the illusory sensation of an increased spiritual power. It’s one of the main ingredients in many legal drugs that some Imperial nobles like to smoke. 

Before, he felt something was off when he heard Withered grass was one of the ingredients. There are so many herbs that can be used as a soothing agent. Withered grass is definitely not the best choice. But he didn’t know what kind of effect those two ingredients combined would have, but he was willing to bet that it wouldn’t be positive. 

Zhuang Yu’s face turned black, and she angrily cursed, “What the hell is the Ning family doing? Are they going crazy?” 

“Definitely.” Especially after being in contact with Prince An Xei. 

Chu Rong opened his mouth and patted Qiao Zhiya’s head. He looked at Zhuang Yu and said, “Go to the Ning family’s area to buy one and check it. If there is a problem, you must find a way to stop the medicine from spreading. “

Zhuang Yu nodded and was busy looking for someone to delegate this task to. 

At 9 o’clock, the celebration officially started. All the exhibition areas on the third floor were open at the same time. Fireworks began to be displayed on the square. The floating islands began to be engulfed in various celebration special effects. The powerful sound system began to play cheerful music, and the arrange live performer also began to play in the middle of the plaza, mobilizing the enthusiasm of the citizens. 

The Chu family’s exhibition area was also opened on time. Chu Rong asked Zhuang Yu not to distribute the Stone Grass medicine for the time being, but to first observe the situation on the Ning family’s side. However, the Ning family made no move. 

The Ning family’s approach was already obvious. Chu Rong no longer waits unnecessarily, and waves at Zhuang Yu, saying, “Began to distribute medicine.”

Zhuang Yu nodded and took out the communicator to inform the Chu family outside.

After receiving the order, the Chu family who stayed in the exhibition area effectively put out all the shelves on which the medicines were placed. At the same time, the introduction of the Stone Grass medicine was placed on the periphery of the exhibition area, and the information of free medicine was issued.

Ten minutes later, the people who stared at the Ning family exhibition area returned with news. The Ning family also posted a slogan for the free distribution of medicines. They also placed advertisements on the first and second floors of the square, making their area more popular compared to the Chu family.

In addition, in order to show the preciousness of the medicine, the Ning family announced that the medicine would be given away free of charge for 100 people per day during the event. If others wanted to purchase it, they needed to pre-order it. 

The Ning family’s reputation has always been good, so as soon as the news came out, the people who participated in the celebration immediately swarmed towards the third floor and showed great interest in the new medicine launched by the Ning family.

One hundred free places quickly filled up. The Ning family gathered people, officially took out the drug, and began to introduce the efficacy of the new drug.

All the people who did not get the qualification to get them for free all stayed in the exhibition area to watch the excitement. When the person in charge said that the new drug was a spiritual power-enhancing drug, everyone first held their breath, and then the atmosphere exploded.

——It’s actually a spiritual power booster! This problem was actually overcome by the Ning family!

As everyone knew, there were zero agents that could boost someone’s spiritual power! There are some drugs that can help them – such as spiritual power soothing agents – but the improvement of spiritual power by such agents was very small, and it was not as effective as cultivation by oneself.

If this new drug really can boost someone’s spiritual power, doesn’t this mean that spiritual power cultivation would be easier and there will be more and more people with high-level spiritual power in the future? 

After the shock, some people began to doubt the effect of this spiritual power boosting drug. In case the effect was actually minuscule, then it would be comparable to the existing method of normal training-spiritual power soothing agent combo. Why would they get excited about that? 

As if seeing their doubt, the person in charge of the Ning family immediately arranged for the first group of people to drink the drug in public. They also made sure there’s a Ning family’s on-site pharmacist to wait and observe the situation to ensure their safety. 

As a result, the public’s doubts have disappeared, and their perception of the Ning family is better. The drug was originally free. The Ning family not only sent the drug but was also responsible for any side-effects. It was really considerate and kind. The Ning family who acted low-key and only did practical things.

One hundred people drank the drug in front of everyone, and the spiritual strength tester on the field immediately started to monitor their spiritual strength data.

The results jumped out quickly, and the spiritual strength of all the people who took the drug increased significantly. One of the mecha warriors who had been trying to upgrade from B-level to A-level actually broke through. 

“It’s really A-level, I’ve risen to A-level!”

The upgraded mecha warrior was very excited. When he broke through, some unstable spiritual power spread outward, and all the people closer felt the change.

Everyone no longer doubted. Their cheers and shouts of awe exploded, and a lot of them immediately put a pre-order for the drug. 

The person in charge of the Ning family exhibition area did not take the opportunity to immediately sell the medicine, but put on a responsible and credible appearance, explaining carefully: “The effect of this medicine is the best for first-time consumption, and the effect will gradually decrease afterwards. Then, it will stop until it’s at the level where your body can adapt. Because everyone’s body is different, not everyone will get good results after taking this drug. So those who want to buy it are best to think about it carefully, because the drug is not easy to make and the price is very expensive.”

On the contrary, his careful attitude was appreciated more, driving people’s enthusiasm into the roof. Some people even said that they can understand even if the medicine effect does not meet their expectations, after all, each body is different.

The Ning family’s exhibition area was jam-packed by the excited crowd, and all the other family exhibition areas on the same floor were left out, especially the Chu family exhibition area. It was decorated simply, with minimal flair and medicines stocks on the shelves. 

The person who went to the Ning family’s exhibition area to observe the situation quickly returned and reported their findings: “There is no queue, the pre-ordered drug can only be obtained after one month. All the 100 drugs sent out were drunk on the spot and is not available.”

Zhuang Yu sneered in response, “It’s too late to do anything else when the festival is over in a month. There’s a person whose spiritual power jumped on the spot, right? I didn’t expect the Ning family to do this either.” Everyone here was familiar with the pharmaceutical industry, so they weren’t easily fooled.The Ning family made the exhibition area look like a cult scene, which was a real eye-opener.

Qiao Zhiya frowned, a little bit distressed.

Without a sample, he cannot check the true effect of the drug.

Spiritual power is a type of life force, which is generated by the human body. There is absolutely no compound that can greatly improve a person’s spiritual power by simply consuming it in a matter of seconds. Even if the drug contains a lot of raw spiritual power to supplement what the human body lacks, it also needs the human body to have processed and assimilated it. It’s just like that time when Chu Rong needed to “digest” the spiritual power from the Flesh of the Stone to cure his spiritual sea pollution. This kind of thing is absolutely impossible with over-the-counter drugs. It’s a scam. 

In short, there must be something weird about the Ning family’s new drug.

Chu Rong thought for a moment with a calm face and said, “I’ll think of a way to contact the 100 people who drank the drug today. It is best to buy a few and bring them for a detailed examination.”

Qiao Zhiya recalled something, adding, “Or bring it to me.” Wood-elemental magic is more sensitive to drugs. He also has Qiuqiu, which can more quickly detect what is wrong with the drug.

“I always think there’s a trick behind all of this.” Zhuang Yu commented. With a rarely-heard sharp language, she continued, “The Ning family has made such a big wave with this show. They can’t be only doing that in order to suppress our limelight. They might make another move to prevent other families from succeeding as well to guard their own interest. Yes, I think, the Ning family still have something else.”
