"I wonder how my two natal spirit puppets are doing selling the Jade Dew Concentric Pills. Now that I've modified a new type of pill, I might as well hand over the Myriad Ancient Soul Refining Pill for them to sell as well," Li Qi mused to himself.
He then re-established contact with spirit puppets number two and three.
Soon, the two natal spirit puppets transmitted the relevant information.
After reviewing the information, Li Qi nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face.
His two natal spirit puppets had indeed not disappointed him.
Over twenty years ago, after he had handed them the recipe for the Jade Dew Concentric Pill.
The two natal spirit puppets had immediately begun establishing branches of the Penguin Medicine Pavilion.
And the efficacy of the Jade Dew Concentric Pills they refined was about what Li Qi had expected.
Even though their refining skills were not as high as Li Qi's, the efficacy of the Jade Dew Concentric Pills they refined still crushed those of the Modao Chamber of Commerce.
Because of this, the moment their Jade Dew Concentric Pills appeared, they quickly gained fame in a small area and earned considerable resources.
However, it was a pity that due to various reasons, and the fact that the natal spirit puppets' strength was not sufficient.
The development of the Penguin Medicine Pavilion branches had been kept under the control of the two natal spirit puppets without expansion, always staying within their own small territory.
After all, this was a common-sense principle.
Although the original recipe for the Jade Dew Concentric Pill was public, to establish a foothold in such a place, strength was the most crucial factor.
If Li Qi were not currently busy modifying various pill recipes, and if Li Qi were backing them, they would naturally dare to expand the territory of the Penguin Medicine Pavilion branches.
But Li Qi was modifying various pills and might not be able to come to their rescue immediately.
If they were to expand recklessly during this awkward period and attract greedy individuals.
It was possible that by the time Li Qi finished modifying the pill recipes and woke up, the two natal spirit puppets might have already been killed, leaving Li Qi to generate them himself.
Moreover, even if they were to wake Li Qi up.
It must be understood that the research and modification of medicinal theories required sustained effort.
If there was no interruption, and they could follow their train of thought to research, with a bit of luck, they might succeed quickly.
But if their research were suddenly interrupted by trivial matters.
It was highly probable that Li Qi's original train of thought in researching medicinal theories would be completely broken.
This was similar to cultivators breaking through their realms, like grasping that elusive breakthrough opportunity.
If they were in seclusion without interruption, they might grasp it quickly.
But if someone were to disturb them, causing their breakthrough opportunity to escape, it would take an unknown amount of time to grasp that sliver of opportunity again.
Therefore, Li Qi agreed with the actions of his two natal spirit puppets.
It would be most appropriate to expand the branches of the Penguin Medicine Pavilion after he had finished modifying most of the high-priced pills under his command.
Furthermore, although the information from the two natal spirit puppets stated that their Penguin Medicine Pavilion had only established a foothold in a small area within the Qingrao Region.
The vastness of the Qingrao Region was beyond ordinary people's imagination, and it could not be compared to the small Yin Song Region where Li Qi came from.
Even though these were high-priced pills and most cultivators could not afford them, the resources that could be earned from that small area were still barely enough for Li Qi at the moment.
Thus, after communicating with his two natal spirit puppets.
Li Qi handed over the modified recipe for the Myriad Ancient Soul Refining Pill to the two natal spirit puppets, instructing them to also start selling the Myriad Ancient Soul Refining Pill, and then he severed contact with them, leaving them to act on their own.
Li Qi's consciousness returned. The fatigue from years of researching medicinal theories had significantly subsided after these days of rest, and Li Qi's mood had also become much lighter.
"Number two and three are currently managing themselves, so I'll focus on improving my own strength first."
Li Qi muttered to himself.
Improving strength was paramount.
Since he could now enhance his spiritual soul's strength, Li Qi would not prioritize the less important.
He had only consumed one Myriad Ancient Soul Refining Pill so far, and his resistance to it was not high. He could still consume several more. Only when his resistance increased would Li Qi stop taking the Myriad Ancient Soul Refining Pill.
With this thought.
The medicinal ingredients required for the modified Myriad Ancient Soul Refining Pill were once again taken out by Li Qi.
With the experience of the first refinement, Li Qi's pill refining became increasingly proficient.
A few Myriad Ancient Soul Refining Pills were quickly refined by Li Qi.
The pills had just been refined and were still slightly hot.
But Li Qi did not care at all. He swallowed the few Myriad Ancient Soul Refining Pills in his hand.
His previously dormant spiritual soul once again transmitted a tremor of excitement.
Li Qi's spiritual soul had once again made significant progress.
"Next, I'll start modifying the next volume of pills."
Thinking this, Li Qi took out another scroll of pills.
He quickly read through the entire recipe of this scroll.
Li Qi then once again immersed himself in the task.
What Li Qi did not know was.
He had intended for his two natal spirit puppets to lie low for a while, but with the reputation of the two more powerful high-priced pills he had modified, how could they lie low?
At the headquarters of the Modao Chamber of Commerce, in a magnificent high-level hall.
A middle-aged man, dressed in opulent attire and exuding an incredibly powerful aura, sat with great dignity.
A moment later, an old man in alchemist robes, with a head of white hair but an arrogant demeanor, strode in.
The old man looked at the highest authority figure in the Modao Chamber of Commerce and said with considerable impatience.
"Guild Master, what is it you need me for? I still have a new batch of pills that need refining. The lord of that small world, Qian Chang, is already getting impatient."
However, Mo Qiong, the Guild Master, was unfazed by the old man's impatience.
As the foremost alchemist master of the Modao Chamber of Commerce, the old man named Sun Xiuxian had the right to treat him with such an attitude.
After all, the pill known as the Jade Dew Concentric Pill, which their Modao Chamber of Commerce was currently selling, originated from Sun Xiuxian thousands of years ago.
"Master Sun, take a look at this."
Mo Qiong's expression remained dignified. He produced a porcelain bottle from somewhere within his sleeve and tossed it towards Sun Xiuxian.
Seeing this, Sun Xiuxian's aged hand slightly raised, and he easily caught the porcelain bottle.
Upon opening the bottle and smelling the familiar medicinal fragrance, with Sun Xiuxian's skill, he recognized it at a glance.
"Is this the Jade Dew Concentric Pill?"
"Indeed. Master Sun, please have a taste."
Hearing this, Sun Xiuxian was not afraid. He followed Mo Qiong's words, poured out a Jade Dew Concentric Pill, scraped off a little powder from it, and put it into his mouth.
But the next moment, Sun Xiuxian's expression changed instantly.
