Upon seeing Bai Yuan, they immediately bowed and greeted him.
Bai Yuan smiled and nodded. He looked at Xiao Ling and said, "It's been a long time. I didn't expect my senior brother to send you here this time."
While exchanging pleasantries with Xiaoling, he also used his ability to judge people.
[Character]: Xiao Ling
Age: 16
[Relationship]: Trust
[Sect]: Taoist Heavenly Sect (Loyal)
[Hobby]: Devoting oneself to Taoist cultivation
[Entry]: Exceptional Talent (Blue), Obsession with Spiritual Attire (Blue)
[Exceptional Talent]: Possesses extraordinary talent for understanding the Dao, making faster progress when cultivating Daoist mental techniques.
[Spiritual Robe Obsession]: Separated from her younger sister since childhood, she has an obsession with her, making it easier for her to enter a state of cultivation and improve the effectiveness of her cultivation. However, this can also create bottlenecks, making it difficult to advance her cultivation after reaching a certain level.
Bai Yuan was surprised that this skill could also reveal a person's level of loyalty; it was a pleasant surprise.
He then used this skill to examine the two disciples and found that they were equally loyal to the Heavenly Sect.
Indeed, if Chishongzi didn't trust someone enough, why would he send someone to Sanghai to find him?
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Bai Yuan, Xiao Ling took the initiative to say, "Uncle-Master, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go upstairs and discuss this further!"
Bai Yuan nodded slightly: "Alright!"
The group went upstairs to their room, where the manager of Linglongxuan prepared tea and snacks for them before leaving.
Two Taoist disciples stood guard outside the room, while also using Taoist magic to block out any sounds from inside.
Inside the room, Xiao Ling glanced at Ning Yan and Ji Mo Hua, who were sitting to Bai Yuan's left and right.
Xue asked with a hint of doubt, "Uncle-Master, those two..."
"They are people I trust, so there's nothing to worry about."
Bai Yuan waved his hand slightly, indicating that Xiao Ling could speak directly.
Xiao Ling nodded and spoke of the task Chi Songzi had given him: "Master sent me here this time to help my uncle open a shop in Sanghai to sell some pills."
Bai Yuan nodded slightly, not expecting that Chisongzi would agree to sell the pills so easily. He thought that Chisongzi would prefer to leave the pills for the Daoist community to consume internally.
At this moment, Xiaoling suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, Master also asked me to bring you a secret letter."
As he spoke, he took out a secret letter from his bundle and handed it to Bai Yuan.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan was slightly taken aback. He knew it wasn't that simple; Chi Songzi probably had some conditions.
He took it, opened it, and sure enough, Chishongzi had stated his conditions in the letter.
After receiving Bai Yuan's secret letter, Chi Songzi was indeed more inclined to leave the pills for the internal use of the Daoist school. After all, such pills were rare and precious, and it would be a pity to sell them.
However, after watching Yun Xuan and Yu Xuan refine two batches of pills and obtain five pills, his thoughts began to change.
Why are elixirs so precious?
One reason is the scarcity of alchemists, and another is that alchemy itself is a very difficult task. Even a master alchemist cannot guarantee 100% success when refining a batch of pills. The waste of herbs caused by a furnace explosion is also a significant cost.
Chisongzi discovered that even with Yunxuan and the other's half-baked alchemy skills, they were able to successfully refine pills without the furnace exploding, indicating that refining these pills was not difficult, and could even be considered quite simple.
If someone with more skill had been in charge, the number of pills produced in this batch could have definitely doubled.
In addition, the herbs required for this elixir are of a very common type, so the cost of refining the elixir is extremely low. Moreover, Taoists themselves cultivate and grow these herbs, and currently have a large reserve of herbs.
It can be said that apart from its precious medicinal effects, the Qi-Nourishing Pill exudes a cheap feel in every other aspect.
The only peculiarity is that even if others know the materials and steps required for alchemy, they absolutely cannot refine the Qi-Nourishing Pill. Only after learning the pill formula can they refine it.
Chisongzi wasn't surprised by this. It was like a secret Taoist manual, imbued with unique Taoist charm and artistic conception, so it wasn't unusual.
Therefore, he understood that as long as he had the formula, the pill could be mass-produced.
In this way, even if all the disciples of the Heavenly Sect used them together, they might not be able to digest so many pills. Naturally, he was willing to take some out to sell and increase his income.
Therefore, in his letter, Chisongzi expressed his hope that Baiyuan would not be afraid of the pill formula being leaked and would entrust it to him with confidence so that he could train more alchemists who could refine Qi-nourishing pills.
At that time, it will not only meet the internal needs of the Taoist community, but also have the capacity to sell to the outside world, and half of the proceeds from the sales will belong to Bai Yuan personally.
He doesn't need to exert any effort; all the costs of alchemy are borne by the Taoists. He only needs to provide a prescription.
Seeing Chisongzi's plan, Bai Yuan understood his thoughts. Chisongzi didn't really care whether or not to sell the Qi-Nourishing Pills, as the Taoists didn't lack that kind of money.
His real idea was to make the Qi-Nourishing Pill a regular medicine for the Heavenly Sect.
It's not just high-ranking elders of the Heavenly Sect who can use those precious pills; it's meant to be available to all Heavenly Sect disciples!
After all, if it's only for the elders to use, even with a small amount sold to the outside world, it should be enough for Yun Xuan and Yu Xuan's level, so there's no need to train so many more alchemists.
Judging from Chisongzi's meaning in the letter, he didn't just want to train one or two more alchemists; he wanted to train a whole group of alchemists!
As for the potential leak of the elixir formula, Chisongzi had considered it, but he did not hesitate to do so and still decided to proceed.
Bai Yuan suddenly realized that his perspective was still somewhat narrow. The sect leader was indeed the sect leader; his way of thinking was different from others.
If Chisongzi were to follow this method and truly achieve full coverage of pills for all disciples of the Heavenly Sect, wouldn't their cultivation speed increase dramatically?
Even those who aren't naturally gifted can still improve by using elixirs.
In a few years, the disciples of the Heavenly Sect might all reach the Innate Realm, leaving the Human Sect far behind, and even surpassing the other schools of thought.
Chapter 73: Spreading Rumors, You Know That, Right? (Please Read On)
For some reason, even though it wasn't mentioned in the letter, he always felt that his master, Bei Mingzi, might be behind this matter.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Thinking about Chishongzi's plan, Bai Yuan felt a strange sense of excitement and madness.
Because he knew better than Chisongzi that the Qi-Nourishing Pill was only a white-quality pill, and that there would definitely be more effective pills in the future.
If everyone did things like Chishongzi, what would Tianzong become in the future?
As Bai Yuan pondered, the expression on his face kept changing.
Seeing the fascinating expression on his face, Xiaoling and the others were curious about what exactly the letter said.
It was astonishing that he could display such a mixture of shock, excitement, madness, and longing.
Xiao Ling was also unsure of what Chi Songzi was planning, so she couldn't help but worry.
"Um... Uncle-Master, is there a problem?"
Bai Yuan laughed after hearing this. He put the letter away and shook his head slightly.
"There's nothing wrong, it's just that my senior wrote some interesting things in his letter."
As he said this, a glint of madness flashed in his eyes.
He had already agreed to Chisongzi's plan in his heart. Now it seemed that his previous ideas were indeed a bit petty. He was so hesitant and timid after only getting a formula for the Qi-Nourishing Pill.
Making money is not the proper use of elixirs at all.
Although according to Chishongzi's plan, Tianzong is also likely to face big trouble.
However, Bai Yuan was also well aware that even if they did not do this, the various schools of thought would be suppressed and weakened after Ying Zheng unified the six kingdoms.
Even the Heavenly Sect could not escape this fate, let alone continue to maintain its supposed indifference to worldly affairs and transcendence of worldly concerns.
The crisis that will come then will be no less significant than this.
Since that's the case, why not take advantage of the fact that the Taoists are still quite powerful and do something quickly? Even if there are some troubles, the Taoists can still handle and deal with them.
His senior brother Chisongzi was willing to take the risk and go all in, so Bai Yuan was also willing to accompany him to the end. He also wanted to see how far Tianzong could go in the future.
Perhaps with his help, the Heavenly Sect could truly become a sect that transcends the world and is not afraid of the Seven Kingdoms.
Then he suddenly realized that he seemed to have found what he wanted to do: to bring a touch of wonder to the world while appreciating its wonders!
Let's start with the Heavenly Sect!
Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Bai Yuan's words; it was good that everything was alright.
"I'll write a secret letter later, and you can have someone send it back to your senior brother as soon as possible."
Bai Yuan calmed himself down and then earnestly gave Xiao Ling some instructions.
"Of course it's no problem."
Xiao Ling nodded, and he didn't ask any further questions.
"Uncle-Master, do you have any requirements regarding the sale of pills? Master said that you should be in charge of this matter and that I should listen to you."
Bai Yuan pondered for a while before finally speaking.
"Go and secure a large enough shop first. It will probably take some time before your senior brother sends over enough pills. In the meantime, prepare the location and start promoting it!"
"Propaganda?"
Xiao Ling was a little puzzled; their Taoist sect had never sold pills before.
Through advertising, people come to us on their own initiative.
With such excellent elixirs, how could there be any fear of a lack of buyers?
Bai Yuan tapped his fingers on the table.
"Of course we need to promote it, but we can't make it seem too deliberate. It's best to let the news of our Qi-Nourishing Pills be leaked unintentionally, and then hint at the effects of the pills. Let people guess the rest."
Xiaoling frowned, still somewhat confused.
"Uncle-Master, won't this cause some trouble?"
"Don't worry, as long as we don't officially confirm the existence of the Qi-Nourishing Pill, the truth of this matter will be hard to tell. Who would dare to cause trouble for our Heavenly Sect over something whose truth is uncertain?"
"On the contrary, the better you promote it and the more people know about it, the less trouble we will actually have when we start selling it."
Bai Yuan gave him a reassuring look.
Just the name of Taoism alone is enough to deter most villains.
The purpose of this promotion is, on the one hand, to spread the fame of Yangqi Dan in the shortest possible time.
