Sure enough, Levi seemed to sense the huge benefits associated with the Divine Skill Pill, so he lightened his tone.

"You should be aware that hundreds of millions of people have taken the Pill of Life Exchange by now. Besides, the effects are pretty obvious. Do you think they would listen to me if I stopped them? I might look glamorous for taking control of the Six Southern States, but in reality, many things restrain me from taking certain actions."

At that thought, the killing intent he previously carried lessened.

He should keep Matthew alive for now since he held the Divine Skill Pill.

Once the Divine Skill Pill was sold in the market, it would bring in a steady stream of profits to the South.

The greater the development of the Six Southern States, the greater Levi's power would be.

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

The recovery of his meridian undoubtedly came as a huge shock to Levi, but though he was resentful, Matthew had no choice but to be humble since he required his assistance.

At that thought, Matthew took out his second lifesaving means.

"Master Levi, I came uninvited, but I didn't bring any valuable gifts. Please treat this bottle of Beauty Pill as my gift to your wife."

At the mention of his wife, Levi inadvertently presented a doting look.

Through Matthew's investigation, he discovered that the South might be an open book to Master Levi and that he could always come out with various tactics to achieve his goals, but he adored his wife very much.

That fact gave Matthew a chance.

Taking the opportunity, he explained the function of the Beauty Pill.

"This pill was exclusively used by members of the royal family such as noble concubines and empresses in the Tunia Empire. The recipe was originally lost, but I found it in some classic books by chance." As he spoke, Matthew handed the medicine bottle to Levi.

"This medicine is nourishing, beautifying, and has no side effects, so you may rest assured. I dare not brag too much about the specific effects, but you will certainly discover its wonder after consuming it." That was a given since the pills were produced for the royal family. If side effects were present, those who produced the pill would have been beheaded by the emperor back then.

Despite that, Matthew purposely hid some of the facts about the pill.

To be precise, this Beauty Pill took the name of Basic Beauty Pill.

Due to the lack of a few main ingredients, the effectiveness of the drug wasn't as strong as the original one.

But even so, it worked way better than the top skin care products currently available in the market.

After hearing his explanation, Levi happily accepted the gift.

To be frank, he didn't believe a single word Matthew just said. Previously, he made the Divine Skill Pill, and now, he came up with the Beauty Pill. It was as if he was capable of making any pill he wanted. Of course, it didn't matter what excuse Matthew came up with.

As long as Matthew was still in the South, provided benefits to the state, and assisted in the development of the Six Southern States, Levi would agree to whatever he said, even if he claimed that the recipe was given by the deities.

Even though Levi was satisfied, Matthew was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof.

He wasn't as strong as Levi, and facing the urgent situation in the two states, he had to seize the opportunity and persuade Levi to make a move.

"Master Levi, I understand you are concerned about my growing power in the future, which may cause a commotion within the Six States, but I can assure you that the Six Southern States will obey your command as long as you are alive. If I go back on my words, I'll end up like this tree."

As he said that, he stood up, walked to the big tree, drew his sword, and sliced it.

He managed to cut off a branch that was as thick as a thumb.

Matthew was declaring that he would risk his life if he ever broke the promise. This was his third means to save his life.

This was the only way for Levi to allow him to develop in the South.

"That's an exaggeration. I've been in charge of the South for years now. Why would I still be afraid that an insignificant young man like you would threaten my status?"

With a proud smile, Levi looked at Matthew quietly.

"Don't they always describe young people as youthful but arrogant?"
