Chapter 243 Frustrated Fairy Yue



While Han Cai finished the obedience talisman. 

The outer sect was in turmoil. This occurred when the sect confiscated high-grade pills from the clans. The pills were stored securely in the Outer Sect Alchemy Hall. Soon, news spread from the Alchemy Hall that the sect had Longevity pills. High-grade pills were generally concocted in inner sect, and the outer sect sold them in auctions. Pills such as longevity pills were rarely auctioned or given to anyone in the outer sect. 

The rumors about the pills attracted many elders who were nearing the end of their lifespans. Some elders couldn't wait and paid a high price to the Alchemy Hall. Ten Longevity pills were given to the elders who were close to the end of their lifespan. The pills should have extended their lives by a hundred years, but the moment they consumed them, their lives were abruptly ended.

This created a very large commotion among outer sect elders. 

Fairy Yue, unaware of the situation, was in the Alchemy Hall, trying to figure out the concoction mechanism of these high-grade pills. If she could decipher it, the sect would reward her and most probably send her to the inner sect. So far, she was never able to concoct high-grade pills.  This was the first time she came across longevity pills. She wanted to use this opportunity and see if she could figure out what materials were used in the concoction of these pills.  Despite her efforts, she was unable to identify a single ingredient used in the pill. Han Cai used elements instead of general materials, making it impossible to determine what materials and techniques were used.

While she was busy trying to understand the constitution of the pills, an elder from the Pill Hall came to inform her of a major issue. Ten elders had died after consuming the pills, creating a significant uproar.

Fairy Yue was furious that the clans gave her poisonous pills. But the elder of the elixir hall confirmed that they had given the right pills. The pills got poisoned after they were brought in the sect.

Fairy Yue was frustrated. She spent so much time trying to figure out materials for the poisonous pills. She swore she would make that hidden clan pay.

But before that, she had to calm the outer sect elders and suppress the news if the inner sect got wind of this she would be in very big trouble. In the upcoming days, she visited elders of every hall and gifted them large amounts of spirit stones. She wanted to bribe them with pills but no elder would accept the outer sect alchemy hall's pills.

She made a considerable effort and paid a hefty price to suppress the news. Each Earth Immortal in the sect was a strength. She had to bribe the Admin Hall to remove their soul imprints from the outer sect's treasure, so no one will find out the elders were dead.

After suppressing the news of the elders' deaths, Fairy Yue was furious. She roared at the Alchemy Hall elders that from now on, no members and their clans should buy or sell high-grade pills, such as Longevity pills, outside the Azure Dragon sect without the Alchemy Hall's approval.

Most of the alchemy pills and pill-related businesses were owned by people from the Alchemy Hall. She planned to make the mysterious clan surrender to the sect. As the main elder of the Alchemy Hall, she felt challenged and was not going to let this slide.

While Fairy Yue announced that no Alchemy Hall members would trade pills related to the mysterious family and asked them to contact her the moment they tried to reach out to them, Blacky was already making new business partners. Since the families were not going to sell the pills,

Blacky went to specific underground organizations. These organizations were well known for not accepting the law of the Azure Dragon Sect in the Azure Dragon Kingdom.

The first organization that Blacky visited was the Golden Crane Organization, led by Master Crane Jingyu. A cheaper offer was extended to them for the distribution of the pills. The second organization blacky visited was Amber Fox Organization, led by Fox Lanying. He gave them the same tempting offer. 

In this way, Blacky visited many more organizations in the Azure Dragon Kingdom and offered lower prices than those offered to the families. These organizations were already involved in many illegal activities in the Azure Dragon country, especially Golden Crane and Amber Fox, who belonged to other countries on the Vermillion Phoenix continent and were in Azure Dragon country to spy and create trouble.

None of the organizations rejected the offer; everyone wanted high-grade pills, the rarer the better. With this, Han Cai's business was back on track.

The underground networks couldn't openly sell the pills, so the news of pills being sold in the underground markets took time to reach the general public. But within six months, as more people used the pills and informed others about them, things started to pick up pace. Ten thousand pills a month were very low in number but they were cheaper compared to the price of high-grade pills sold in auctions. And as organizations started selling ten thousand high-grade pills every month, cultivators would rather wait for a month than buy pills from azure auction houses which were low-potent pills and had very high prices. 

Seeing the demand for pills the underground organizations started their own auction houses. Slowly their business kept growing. While Azure Dragon Sect's Azure auction hall and pill hall saw a drastic drop in income from high-grade pills. 

Now, the sect had no way to stop the distribution of these pills. They strictly monitored major cities for any such activities. Han Cai was not creating low-grade pills, so those markets were stable. 

Fairy Yue kept grinding her teeth, as elders of the inner alchemy hall were visiting her, asking why they have not received the spirit stones for the pills they concocted. The fairy could only say that they will receive they spirit stones soon. She was getting desperate to hunt that clan down. 

While his income resumed, Han Cai was done with the first batch of Obedience talismans. He spent half of his day concocting while the other half was dedicated to creating talismans.
