With an abundance of spiritual medicine and ample supplementary pills for cultivation, the rate of achievement naturally increases. Within Su Lingxiu’s Chang Qing Pavilion, there are already over twenty members who have entered the stage of Internal Organ Refinement.

Kou Ruozhi is not far from being initiated into martial arts.

However, a considerable amount of pills have indeed been consumed.

Su Lingxiu spends nearly every day practicing alchemy, especially in the production of Qi-Blood Pills, for Chang Qing Pavilion and the Xu Family.

Her practice time has consequently been somewhat reduced.

About half a month later, Su Lingxiu also made a breakthrough and attained a solid foundation in her Qi-Blood realm.

“Your disciple, Su Lingxiu, has made a breakthrough in the Qi-Blood realm and your Medical Alchemy Path (Innate Realm) is now complete.

Golden light emerged.

Li Xuan was contemplating an issue as he looked at Su Lingxiu.

If one wanted to train martial artists from the borderland to quickly improve their martial skills, pills were indispensable. However, the required quantity of these pills was a large number.

Spiritual medicine is secondary after all. General Qi-Blood Pills don’t require much spiritual medicine for production. It’s even alright if the proportion is a bit low, using spiritual medicine as the main ingredient and lesser medicinal components for the rest of it.

But how could Su Lingxiu alone produce such a large quantity of pills?

Even if she has mastered the art of making Qi-Blood Pills, producing dozens of them every time she fires up the furnace, a single person like her would not be able to sustain such large production numbers.

Moreover, Su Lingxiu also needs time to practice martial arts, comprehend the scriptures of the Medical Alchemist, create higher grade pills and study the alchemy, among other things.

Staying in the borderland is only temporary, it’s inevitable to enter the Inner Domain. Eventually, Changqing Pavilion will also expand into the Inner Domain with a focus on selling pills.

It could be easily predicted that upon the release of the pills, the martial artists from the Inner Domain would flock to it like bees to honey.

Definitely, it would trigger coveting from various parties, along with threats of different kinds. Whether Tianbao Pavilion could handle it remained unimown.

As for co-operating with Tianbao Pavilion, it would depend on what Tianbao Pavilion could offer.

Of course, no matter how they choose to cooperate, the initiative will always lie with Changqing Pavilion.

If one wanted a large supply of pills, relying solely on Su Lingxiu wouldn’t suffice even if she worked herself to death.

Li Xuan was thinking about the production line method. Could this be applied to pill-making as well?

The creation of pills is also divided into several steps. It’s not easy to learn the whole alchemy, but a single step is much easier to grasp.

At the end, the essence of the spiritual medicine is extracted, fused, and finally transformed into a pill.

In doing so, even if someone stole all the steps of the pill-making process, they would still find it hard to learn alchemy. Besides, the methods for making each different pill vary.

Those who are not Medical Alchemist Martial Artists won’t be able to master the various methods of pill production.

The pills marketed within the Inner Domain mainly fall into three categories. Qi-Blood Pills, which are needed by ordinary martial artists, as even though the martial arts of the Inner Domain do vary, the usefulness of Qi-Blood Pills in assisting their practice still stands.

The Gathering Qi Pills are for Grandmaster Martial Artists.

And Healing Pills.

By merely producing these three types of pills, Changqing Pavilion would secure vast resources within the Inner Domain.

They could even accept tasks such as exchanging certain quantities of spiritual medicine with refining one unit of a pill, and so on.

As long as Chang Qing Pavilion establishes itself in the Inner Domain and the pills become popular amongst the martial artists, there won’t be a shortage of spiritual medicine.

Of course, one shouldn’t take too big a step at the beginning, or else the sudden surge of demand will be intense.

Li Xuan’s aim for heading to the Inner Domain was to enjoy himself, not to constantly deal with trouble.

Therefore, one must wait until martial arts in the borderland have become powerful enough, forming massive momentum, before they can heavily promote the pills. Even if they face covetous gazes and impacts, they will have the strength to handle it without Li Xuan needing to intervene.

After thinking this over, Li Xuan called Su Lingxiu over, gave her some hints about the assembly line method for producing pills, and asked her to refine it herself.

“Master, this method is good. I know what to do now.”

Su Lingxiu was overjoyed upon hearing it.

Afterward, she started cogitating on how to separated the steps for pill-making, how to preserve semi-finished products for the next step, and so on, as well as how to forge a pill furnace, which would involve blacksmithing. But before that, suitable Alchemist Martial Artists were needed to learn the segregated pill-making steps. The plan for an assembly line to make pills could not be implemented in the short term.

As for the current pill requirements, the quantity needed is not much, so Su Lingxiu recently took some time to make a batch, which is enough to satisfy needs for a while.

As she continued to consider the assembly line method for pill production, she also contemplated on the Eight Diagrams and various martial arts techniques mentioned in the Medical Alchemy Scriptures.

In the inner Domain, Xu Yan had already visited several forces and had secured the bounties.

Regarding the three great nations’ bounties, he only sought out the one from Greater Yue State. Whether it was due to his reputation as a prodigy or the formidable deterrent power from his killing of Great Grandmasters or simply Greater Yue State’s indifference towards the small bounty, they handed out the reward quite happily, which Xu Yan was very pleased with.

As for the other two nations, due to the long distances involved, the bounties had to be temporarily set aside, to be collected when the opportunity arises in the future.

After returning to Seven-Star City, he met Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan again and returned the Kite Order to Hu Shan.

“Brother Xu, you’ve become famous in the martial arts world, even the Slayer’s Skull perished at your hands!”

Xie Lingfeng couldn’t help but sigh.

Xu Yan has merely achieved the proficient level in the Innate Realm, which is equivalent to Grandmaster in terms of realm, yet he has already killed a Grandmaster.

Indeed, he has killed an enemy who surpasses their realm by one level!
