Through the bullet comments, most viewers expressed support and agreement for Ye Ming's decision to release elixirs and spiritual artifacts. However, there were clearly various concerns.
The most significant one was the pricing of the elixirs and spiritual artifacts.
Take the elixirs in the ancient martial world, for instance. Even a low-grade, first-tier Qi Gathering Elixir costs nearly a thousand Hua coins.
And this is just the most common elixir, which barely aids in the cultivation of ancient martial artists. Its effect is merely to restore true qi within a short period.
As for those elixirs that truly assist in cultivation, such as Qi Washing Elixirs and Body Shaping Elixirs, these are extremely scarce cultivation resources.
The number of people who can refine them is also very few.
Consequently, each of these elixirs is priced astronomically high.
From tens of thousands at the low end to hundreds of thousands, or even more.
These are simply unaffordable for ordinary ancient martial practitioners.
If elixirs are like this, then spiritual artifacts are even more so.
Even in the entire ancient martial world, those who can truly possess spiritual artifacts are less than one in a hundred. Most ancient martial artists use ordinary artifacts made from pure iron and copper.
And even ordinary artifacts are worth over ten thousand. So, it's not even worth mentioning spiritual artifacts.
"I understand everyone's concerns," Ye Ming stood up and said in a deep voice, "It is precisely because of this that I have decided to help you. At the same time, I can assure you that the elixirs and spiritual artifacts I offer will absolutely exceed your imagination!"
Upon hearing this, even through the screen, one could sense a brief pause in the breathing of everyone in the live stream room.
"Exceed our imagination, what does that mean?"
"Could it be that Teacher Ye is going to unleash a big move again?"
"I have a hunch that something significant might happen next!"
"Could Teacher Ye be giving us cultivation elixirs and spiritual artifacts?"
"The one upstairs! Are you out of your mind? With over a billion fans in the live stream now, even selling Teacher Ye wouldn't be enough to give them away!"
"Seriously! As far as I know, the health tonic Teacher Ye gave us last time, each bottle, cost at least a hundred Hua coins to produce. To date, Teacher Ye has spent nearly a hundred billion yuan."
"Nearly... nearly a hundred billion! My heavens! This..."
"..."
Seeing that some people in the bullet comments mentioned the health tonic, Ye Ming simply smiled faintly.
From the current perspective, those expenses were worth it.
"I'm very sorry! Your Teacher Ye is no longer capable of giving them away directly like the health tonic last time. I went bankrupt then," Ye Ming said with a wry smile and a shake of his head.
While this was an exaggeration, the one hundred billion yuan investment in Qishi Pharmaceutical did consume some of the Heavenly Mandate Divine Hall's financial resources.
But the most crucial point was that all that money was earned by Loria and others through significant time investment, and objectively speaking, it had nothing to do with him, Ye Ming.
Asking them to come up with one hundred billion yuan at once already made Ye Ming feel ashamed.
"Teacher Ye! You've already been incredibly kind to us, there's no need to force yourself further."
"Yes! You've already freely taught us cultivation techniques and combat skills, you really don't need to worry anymore!"
"We feel unworthy of your generosity!"
"I am an ancient martial artist myself and deeply understand how difficult it is to obtain cultivation techniques. Teacher Ye, you've already done more than enough."
"..."
It had to be said, ever since the last online exit incident, this generation of viewers was incredibly easy to manage.
The bullet comments were filled with praise for Ye Ming.
"Don't worry everyone! The elixirs and spiritual artifacts I'm releasing this time were obtained from my master. The elixirs' formulas and the spiritual artifacts' refining methods are top-tier. Therefore, I guarantee that everyone will receive their own cultivation resources," Ye Ming said with a smile.
But then, his expression gradually became solemn: "However, before that, there are a few points I hope everyone will pay attention to."
"Due to the immense number of viewers in the live stream, the elixirs and spiritual artifacts I'm releasing, just like the health tonic, are limited to one per person." Ye Ming looked at the camera and cautioned, "Once you purchase these cultivation resources, whether you want to resell them or use them yourself, the decision is entirely yours. But all of this is contingent on you not regretting it."
Ye Ming's words were simple and direct.
First: These cultivation resources are not free.
Of course, Ye Ming did not have the financial capacity to give them away for free to everyone.
But even if he had the financial capacity, he wouldn't do it.
With anything, one must maintain a balance. If one only provides benefits to others without receiving any return, what will be the final outcome?
Initially, everyone would thank him, considering Ye Ming selfless and great, and he would be praised and lauded. But as Ye Ming gave them more and more benefits, people would gradually get used to it, feeling entitled to it. They would gradually believe that all of this was rightfully theirs.
And this!
This is human nature.
Therefore, from now on, apart from the martial arts techniques that have not yet been passed down, Ye Ming will charge a certain amount for everything else in the future.
He did not want to see the ugliest side of human nature in the end.
In addition, there is a second point.
The reason Ye Ming has limited the purchase to one per person, besides the immense quantity, is more importantly to make everyone understand that these resources are extremely scarce.
Only when they understand this point will they understand what it means to cherish.
For instance, with the health tonic previously, there were many private transactions.
But with the advent of the ancient martial era, those who sold their health tonics at the time now all regret their decisions.
According to reports from Zhao Donglai, it is estimated that there have been over a million cases of private transactions for the health tonic.
And the health tonic is also sold in the black market. Of course, the price is quite exorbitant.
It has been inflated to a hundred thousand per bottle.
Zhao Donglai specifically asked him whether he should curb those who inflated prices.
After all, with Qishi Pharmaceutical's status, it wouldn't be difficult to achieve this.
However, Ye Ming ultimately shook his head.
Ye Ming's reason was also simple: private transactions of the health tonic could never be eradicated from the root.
Moreover, there was no need to prevent such things.
With the health tonic as a precedent, he believed that more people would cherish the cultivation resources that Ye Ming would release in the future.
Not to mention, these resources this time require purchase.
After listening to Ye Ming's instructions, most people in the live stream room understood the deeper meaning of his words.
The decision-making power is in their own hands, and they need to carefully consider how to utilize the cultivation resources they receive.
Because there is no chance for regret.
