Chapter 199 Arrangement
The month between receiving feedback on the effects of the pills and the release of the next batch is crucial.

The Immortal Sect is unfamiliar to many people, and they are unaware of the extent of their strength. Now that they are about to rise to fame with the Breakthrough Pill, it is inevitable that they will attract attention.

In the future, there will definitely be people coming to inquire or try to seize it. How the Immortal Sect responds to this will be something that various forces will be secretly observing.

Only by not becoming the easy target can they establish a basic image, which will determine the attitudes of those forces towards them.

Fortunately, those who come knocking on their door are only from small forces, because the big forces don't care about these three little things and wouldn't bother with them just because of a breakthrough pill.

Most importantly, Xianlaifang only sold twenty pills on its first attempt, which was enough to make everyone think that the pill was difficult to refine or that the materials were very scarce, and that it was destined to be unable to be mass-produced.

Since they cannot be mass-produced, they naturally pose no threat to them.

“That’s good. Let’s take turns patrolling and guarding during this time.”

“Okay, let’s divide the work, with two or three people taking turns each day.” Hu Jiu nodded.

Actually, they weren't afraid of anyone breaking into the sect to investigate, because the Xianlai Sect's greatest strength was Mo Jiuwei, something that others couldn't possibly know.

As for the Breakthrough Pill, although its raw materials are in the back mountain, the Heavenly Saliva Mushroom is something that cannot be found by human means. Moreover, the Divination God Clan lives in the back mountain, and they will notice any disturbance immediately.

So even if someone comes to investigate, they will most likely return empty-handed.

However, what everyone was worried about was not the other party's investigation, but... murder and robbery!
They can't just let people barge into their bedchamber without them noticing, can they? So, necessary guards are still needed.

Seeing that they had almost finished discussing the matter, Mo Jiuwei yawned and then spoke—

"No need for all that trouble, just set up a bell array."

[A bell-ringing formation is an essential magic formation for any home!]

[If anyone tries to sneak in through the main gate instead of the main entrance, the magic array will activate loudly. Isn't that better than having someone guard it?]

However, one bell-ringing formation isn't enough; we also need a trapping formation, otherwise people will escape.

【Yes, the Dragon-Trapping Formation would be excellent!】

Mo Jiuwei quickly came up with a solution.

Hu Jiu's eyes lit up.

A bell-ringing formation, a dragon-trapping formation?

These were all ancient formations he had seen in books, but he couldn't see the diagrams of their arrangement, so even though he was very interested, he couldn't learn how to set them up.

Does Mo Jiuwei mean that she can even make this?

That's true, Junior Sister is supposed to be omnipotent!
"Ahem, junior sister, I'm just figuring out magic arrays, why don't you come with me?" Hu Jiu asked with a smile.

Mo Jiuwei had the same idea and readily agreed.

……

Jiachi Castle.

"Brother, you're back?" The woman in blue came out of the room upon hearing the noise and was met by her brother, who was beaming with joy.

"Qianqian, look! What did I buy for you?" The man eagerly showed off his treasure.

"A medicine bottle? Is this a pill?" Gao Qian took it with a puzzled look, and as she brought it closer, she smelled a special fragrance she had never smelled before.

Hmm... it doesn't really look like a pill, but it does whet her appetite.

"Yes, it's called Breakthrough Pill." Gao Yan grinned.

Gao Qian's eyes widened in surprise. "Breakthrough Pill? The one from the Immortal Sect in Purple Leaf City? The one that costs 100,000 crystals?!"

Her whole body was not well.

Although Kagachi Castle is not close to Purple Leaf Castle, news about the Breakthrough Pill has still been heard, which is something many people are secretly paying attention to.

Gao Qian was the same. She had reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment last year, but because she was not confident, she wanted to postpone it and not rush to break through.

She had been keeping an eye on the Breakthrough Pill ever since the news broke, but the price of one pill was too high, so she simply watched without intending to try and snatch it.

But to my surprise, my brother bought it for her!

“It’s this one.” Gao Yan knew what his sister was thinking and comforted her, “This pill can not only help you break through, but also eliminate inner demons. It’s perfect for you. Go and take the pill to cultivate now.”

"Brother! This is too valuable. If you buy it, we'll run out of money. Even if I can use it to break through, what about you? I can't be so selfish. Go and return it."

"There's no reason to back out. Besides, money can be earned back. You have great talent, we can't let it slip away any longer."

“If you can’t return it, then keep it. You’re already in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, you’ll need it sooner or later.” Gao Qian still shook her head, not intending to accept it.

The 100,000 crystals were almost all their money, and even if they needed to use them, their older brother would have to go first.

“My aptitude is not as good as yours! You can use it now, but I don’t know how many more years I would have to wait. The pill has already been bought, so we can’t waste it. Listen to me!” Gao Yan said sternly. “Besides, pills that remove inner demons are very expensive. This pill has two uses, so the price is already very reasonable. It will be difficult to buy it again after you miss it.”

Then he explained that only twenty Breakthrough Pills had been sold in total, and the next batch would be available in another month.

"This time we've already made such a big fuss, and some people have already tried it. If it really works, the next batch will definitely be snapped up in a frenzy, and the price might even go up. We won't be able to buy it even if we want to!"

Gao Yan has no inner demons, but his sister does.

Their parents were brutally murdered by their enemies. They were not at home that day because they had gone to play with their friends next door.

Before her parents died, they hid her younger sister. The sister witnessed how they died, and from then on, she was haunted by a deep-seated fear.

When my younger sister was breaking through from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, she almost died and nearly didn't survive the test of her inner demons.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to break through. If she cannot eliminate her inner demons, then her younger sister will not be able to break through successfully at all. Therefore, this pill is exactly what she urgently needs.

If they don't have the resources and don't have that many crystals, they can only grit their teeth and bear it like ordinary poor cultivators, and whether they can survive and break through depends entirely on fate.

But they clearly have it, so why bother looking far and wide when they do have it?
Gao Qian hesitated after hearing this.

"Can't we really return it?" She was still a little reluctant. "This is a new pill, and we don't even know if it's effective yet. What if it's fake..."

"Qianqian, breaking through is a matter of life and death, and even if the pill is real, it doesn't necessarily guarantee a successful breakthrough, does it?" Gao Yan asked.

Before purchasing the pills, he specifically inquired about the Immortal Sect in Purple Leaf City. The result of his inquiry was that the people of the Immortal Sect were loyal and righteous, and they would not steal or rob even in the most difficult times. Their reputation was something that the whole city could attest to.
