Heavenly Medicine Palace, known as the second-largest alchemy power in the world.
The emergence of the Crystal of Xinghe has naturally had a huge impact on Heavenly Medicine Palace.
However, Heavenly Medicine Palace has always focused on high-end pills, so while there is an impact, it won't cause too much loss.
But things haven't been peaceful at Heavenly Medicine Palace these days, especially with the countless low-grade alchemists who have left.
In recent days, numerous low-grade alchemists opposing the Crystal of Xinghe have flocked to Heavenly Medicine Palace, hoping that Wu Qun, the supreme of the alchemy path, would speak up for them.
Faced with the requests of so many low-grade alchemists, Wu Qun had been considering whether to visit the Grand Sky Sect and discuss with the Great Elder.
After all, raising the prices would give low-grade alchemists a way to survive, and the Grand Sky Sect could also earn more, right?
But just as Wu Qun was about to set off, he heard the news released by Sima Bian.
When this news reached Wu Qun's ears, he was silent for a full quarter of an hour.
Although Wu Qun is now an alchemy master, a supreme-level figure.But in his youth, Wu Qun traveled the world, visiting various places. When he was still a low-grade alchemist, he witnessed countless people having to give up due to poverty...
At that time, Wu Qun was also a passionate youth, and he once swore to the heavens that if he had the ability one day, he would change all this...
But today, Wu Qun realized that as the supreme of the alchemy path, he was adored by countless people every day, receiving the highest treatment wherever he went, and he hadn't seen the hardships of the world for many years.
He had even forgotten the passion of his youth, forgotten his vow to change everything.
And today, upon hearing the low price of the Crystal of Xinghe, Wu Qun realized that his first thought was actually to give low-grade alchemists a way to survive...
It wasn't until he heard Chu Xinghe's reason for setting such a low price that Wu Qun understood... why Chu Xinghe could receive the Medicine Saint's inheritance...
Some say Chu Xinghe is talented and hardworking...
But Wu Qun had known the Great Elder since their youth, and although they didn't meet often, they exchanged many letters privately.
In those letters, the Great Elder often used over ninety percent of the words to praise Chu Xinghe in a humble bragging manner, but he also mentioned that Xinghe particularly liked to be lazy and wouldn't practice alchemy unless forced...
Wu Qun once suspected that the Great Elder was just bragging.
Are you kidding me? Chu Xinghe didn't want to learn and still got the Medicine Saint's inheritance... Chu Xinghe didn't want to learn and is now almost an eighth-grade alchemist?
Chu Xinghe didn't want to practice alchemy and ended up with the Medicine Saint's inheritance, so does that mean the less you want to practice alchemy, the more likely you are to receive it?
But at this moment, Wu Qun suddenly realized... maybe the Great Elder wasn't bragging, maybe Chu Xinghe really didn't like alchemy.
Yet the Medicine Saint's inheritance still chose him, not because of his talent, nor his effort, but because of his benevolence for the world!
Everyone only thought about low-grade alchemists, but only Xinghe thought of the poor people of the world, he thought about making pills affordable for more people, to save lives.
As the supreme of the alchemy path, Wu Qun couldn't change the world, but today... Xinghe did... Xinghe might not be able to make pills affordable for everyone, but at least he could save more lives.
The sages of old were no more than this!
Wu Qun angrily rebuked all the low-grade alchemists who came to him for support.
You damn lot, not striving for progress, and still have the face to come here and ask me, Wu Qun, to stand up for you?
Shameless!
I, Wu Qun, officially support Xinghe and the Grand Sky Sect! From now on, any disciple of Heavenly Medicine Palace who dares to speak against the Crystal of Xinghe will be the first to be expelled by me!
A spark can start a prairie fire... Facing the alliance against the Crystal of Xinghe, the Grand Sky Sect didn't even need to speak. Once Sima Bian's message spread, countless poor people and countless rogue cultivators stood up.
Not everyone has the talent to enter the sects, most with poor talent can only become rogue cultivators.
But rogue cultivators have dreams too... they also aspire to the peak.
In the past, rogue cultivators faced life-and-death situations, chasing on the edge of a knife, but the rewards were not high. They could only lick their wounds while using their meager earnings to buy low-grade pills to improve themselves.
But now, the advent of the Crystal of Xinghe has given more rogue cultivators a chance to pursue their dreams, their meager earnings can finally buy more pills, and they can improve themselves better.
Who doesn't have a dream of becoming a god?
The Crystal of Xinghe has invisibly given all rogue cultivators a chance to dream of becoming gods.
So countless rogue cultivators formed an anti-anti-Crystal of Xinghe alliance.
Don't underestimate rogue cultivators, they may seem inconspicuous, but when united, even the top ten sects in the world have to take them seriously!
Countless rogue cultivators officially supported Chu Xinghe, and their voices crushed the opposition from low-grade alchemists to nothing.
Are you opposing the Crystal of Xinghe?
You low-grade alchemists are despicable, you just want to exploit us rogue cultivators forever, don't you!
You low-grade alchemists, instead of thinking about how to improve yourselves, just think about how to profit every day, no wonder you're low-grade alchemists!
Faced with the angry outbursts of countless rogue cultivators, the low-grade alchemists were dumbfounded, but there were still capable people among them, who changed their approach, instead of criticizing the low price, they criticized the Crystal of Xinghe for having problems.
Their reasoning was simple... growing pills from the ground, isn't that ridiculous?
Can you believe something so ridiculous? Even if it can be grown, can it really have the effects claimed by the Grand Sky Sect?
Doesn't this thing have any side effects?
Don't be fooled by the Grand Sky Sect... these pills are life-saving, if something goes wrong, you won't even know how you died!
Faced with this argument from the low-grade alchemists, both rogue cultivators and others expressed doubts.
After all, the Crystal of Xinghe is a new thing, whether it works or not, we don't know.
But amidst countless doubts, the first batch of the Crystal of Xinghe arrived at the Northern Branch.
Faced with the low-priced Crystal of Xinghe, countless people chose to observe first, no one could say for sure if it would work.
But there's never a shortage of people willing to be the first to try, and soon someone bought various effects of the Crystal of Xinghe at a low price.
And once they tested the effects of the Crystal of Xinghe...
They were almost scared out of their wits!
The effects of the Crystal of Xinghe were explosive! Even more potent than the Wan Ghost Pills previously sold at the Northern Branch?
And not only were the effects stronger, but the taste was also excellent!
Previous pills were notoriously hard to swallow, with all sorts of strange flavors.
But now the Crystal of Xinghe is pure and natural!
It even has a fruity taste, reportedly certified by the Ouyang Family for its flavor.
Forget side effects, this thing even considers taste, and you say there's a problem?
Countless people who dared to be the first to try successfully got the first batch of the Crystal of Xinghe, while those who initially hesitated were filled with regret.
Why did we hesitate? The Crystal of Xinghe, named after Chu Xinghe, how could it have problems... otherwise, wouldn't Chu Xinghe's reputation be at stake?
But just as countless people lamented missing the first batch, the second batch, the third batch... countless Crystals of Xinghe were put on shelves, and they couldn't sell out... they couldn't sell out at all!
Everyone bought the Crystal of Xinghe they needed at the lowest price, and with its entry into the market, it marked the end of an era...
From this moment on, alchemy entered a new Xinghe era, and low-grade pills would no longer have any market...
Although all parties suffered a small loss because low-grade pills could no longer be sold, considering the low price of the Crystal of Xinghe, in the long run, it was beneficial for everyone.
Of course... except for the Demonic Sect...
Wu Xingyun looked at the mountain of low-grade pill stockpiles, his sadness flowing like a river.
At this moment, Wu Xingyun finally understood the sadness of Yan Shoujing and Tantai Jing.
It's not that my ideas are bad, it's that dog Xinghe's methods are too despicable!
"Demon Emperor, this wasn't my idea..." Tantai Jing said softly from the side.
But hearing Tantai Jing's words, Wu Xingyun was so angry he almost slapped him to death on the spot...
Why don't you just say it was my fault, Wu Xingyun?
No, it's not my problem, it's yours, Tantai Jing!
If you hadn't brought out the Soul Devouring Banner, if you hadn't sworn it could destroy the Feng City Formation, would we be in this situation?
So you, Tantai Jing, must take the blame!
And Yan Shoujing, didn't I tell you to infiltrate the Grand Sky Sect as a spy?
Why didn't you report such important matters, Yan Shoujing?
What? I told you not to contact recently?
For such a big matter, couldn't you make a decision yourself, Yan Shoujing? Do you just do whatever I say?
So this has nothing to do with me, Wu Xingyun, it's entirely because my subordinates Yan Shoujing and Tantai Jing are too incompetent!
Wu Xingyun immediately contacted Yan Shoujing, loudly questioning why he hadn't informed the Demonic Sect of such important news, leaving Yan Shoujing dumbfounded...
What... Demon Emperor, are you being reasonable?
You told me I was acting too frequently and to contact less, so I've been in seclusion to reduce my actions... I didn't know anything about the Crystal of Xinghe...
Yan Shoujing was so aggrieved he was about to cry, Demon Emperor, do you have any shame?
I have to take the blame if I act, and I have to take the blame if I don't act...
What did I, Yan Shoujing, do to deserve this? I didn't come to the Grand Sky Sect to be a spy, I came to take the blame for the Demonic Sect, is that it?
Feeling miserable... missing Little Cui'er... it's been over a hundred days...
