Chu Xinghe Held the World in His Heart!

The impact of the Crystal of Xinghe on the outside world was far less significant than its impact on the alchemy industry.

Alchemists have always been a relatively rare profession.

Don't be fooled by the fact that everyone in the Spirit Crane Palace seems to be Third Rank or Fourth Rank alchemist; that's Spirit Crane Palace after all...

Looking across the entire Blazing Sun Continent, let alone Third Rank- or Fourth Rank alchemists, even First Rank alchemist can easily support a small Lineage by refining medicine.

Even those lowly alchemists from the Zhou Medical Hall, who had no rank, could thrive as long as they knew a little about alchemy.

Therefore, in the past, any alchemist with a grade was a treasure.

When you go out and people know you're an alchemist, aren't they all treating you with respect?

Even the lowest- First Rank alchemist is considered a benefactor among benefactors by many.

As for higher-ranking alchemists, such as Second Rank- or Third Rank alchemists, in many small cities, a Third Rank alchemist is even referred to as a master.

After all, once an alchemist reaches the Third Rank, they can refine a wide variety of pills. For the vast majority of people, they will never need those fifth or sixth rank pills in their lifetime.

Therefore, in the Blazing Sun Continent, many people dream of becoming an alchemist, even if it's just the lowest-level First Rank alchemist. Just entering the field is considered a great leap forward.

But now, the birth of the Crystal of Xinghe is like kicking the threshold of alchemists from the Subordinate First Rank directly to the Third Rank or above!

Good heavens, back then, being a first-grade alchemist was considered First Rank entry-level skill, but now Third Rank alchemist is nothing.

Are you still busy refining medicine? The Vast Heaven Sect can already grow Third Rank pills directly...

In the past, for Third Rank alchemist, the most expensive thing was not the medicinal materials needed to refine pills, but the appearance fee of the alchemist who refined the Third Rank pills.

But now, why bother with appearance fees?

The Vast Heaven Sect has made it clear that its Northern Branch will gradually begin selling all Crystal of Xinghe of Third Rank and below, and these Crystal of Xinghe will possess the normal attributes of all pills of Third Rank and below.

The news caused an uproar throughout the entire alchemy world.

I'm a Third Rank alchemist, I used to be called a master, but now nobody cares about me?

In other words, the entry requirement for alchemists has been raised from the First Rank to the Third Rank or even Fourth Rank. Anyone who isn't at the Fourth Rank isn't even considered an entry-level alchemist.

Is the Vast Heaven Sect trying to force low-level alchemists to their deaths?

Therefore, countless low-level alchemists immediately formed Anti-Xinghe Crystal Alliance and directly boycotted the Crystal of Xinghe!

Some even said that the information released by the Vast Heaven Sect was completely unfounded, and that the Vast Heaven Sect's Crystal of Xinghe could never be so cheap!

Soon, the Northern Branch announced the pre-sale prices for Crystal of Xinghe of various grades, and these prices left all alchemists below Third Rank in the world stunned...

Seeing that price, which was almost below even the previous cost of medicinal herbs, the alchemists who still harbored any hope of getting away with it completely collapsed.

Countless alchemists roared in fury at the prices released by the Northern Branch... Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Is this price reasonable for a normal person?

At this price, you can't even make money off the cost of the medicinal herbs themselves, okay?

Therefore, countless alchemists pointed out on the spot that the so-called pre-sale price released by the Vast Heaven Sect was a hoax.

There's no way such a cheap elixir could exist in this world!

If the price is this outrageously cheap, how can the Vast Heaven Sect possibly make a profit?

Low-grade alchemists from various factions formed Anti-Xinghe Crystal Alliance after a disagreement, with countless alchemists shouting slogans that the Vast Heaven Sect was leaving no way for low-grade alchemists to survive.

Faced with the alliance of low-grade alchemists, all sides are silently observing. After all, everyone feels that the Vast Heaven Sect's actions have essentially destroyed the livelihoods of all low-grade alchemists... Are they sure this won't cause any trouble?

Faced with the doubts of countless low-level alchemists, Sima Bian was the first to speak out!

You low-level alchemists are truly courting death! Do you think my Vast Heaven Sect's Crystal of Xinghe are as easy as your alchemy?

We grew them directly from the ground. You know, when I saw how much Crystal of Xinghe Mu Bai the others grew, I was so shocked by the yield that I still can't sleep tonight!

As for the issue of the low price that has been questioned by outsiders, Sima Bian feels both distressed and silently applauds Senior Brother Xinghe's kindness whenever he thinks about it.

Originally, after discussing with the Grand Elder Sima Bian decided to sell it at a price only slightly lower than the normal price of pills.

This way, not only can they make a fortune, but they can also provide a way for other low-level alchemists in the world to survive.

After all, the Grand Elder himself was an alchemist. In his view, if the prices of all pills were driven down to the lowest possible level, it would become extremely difficult for low-grade alchemists to succeed in the future.

However, Senior Brother Xinghe directly and openly opposed the Elder's statement!

"The Grand Elder is thinking of giving low-level alchemists a way to survive, but has he considered who will give those who cannot afford pills to save their lives a way to survive?"

Sima Bian clearly remembered that after Senior Brother Xinghe said those words, everyone in the entire Medicine King Palace fell silent.

The Grand Elder's suggestion to give low-level alchemists a way to survive was initially met with approval from many of the disciples in the Medicine King Palace, since they were all alchemists themselves.

But Senior Brother Xinghe's words awakened everyone present.

Even if an alchemist is in dire straits, a high-ranking alchemist shouldn't be facing certain death.

At most, they were once glorious, but now they've become ordinary thanks to the Crystal of Xinghe. However, this has given alchemists a new goal: if they want to enjoy the same respect as before, they must improve their abilities.

But what about ordinary people who can't afford elixirs?

How many people in this world are left to die every day because they can't afford a single Third Rank life-saving elixir?

How many people should have lived, but were forced to give up because the price of elixirs was too high?

If alchemists are given a way to survive, who will give patients a way to survive?

So, in the end, Senior Brother Xinghe made a decisive move, which led to the price announced for the Northern Branch today.

Although Sima Bian was a merchant, Sima Bian also came from a poor family.

At that moment Sima Bian felt as if he had been transported back to his childhood.

At that time, Grandpa was the pillar of the family. He went out to work and supported the family all by himself. But in the end, when Grandpa was lying on the hospital bed, Sima Bian could only watch helplessly as Grandpa passed away because the family couldn't even afford a single life-saving medicine.

It was from that moment that Sima Bian swore to the heavens, "I will never be a poor boy again; I will become a superior person!"

I never want such a tragedy to happen to me again.

Over the years, Sima Bian has grown step by step from a poor boy to the branch president of the Northern Branch the Vast Heaven Sect, becoming a superior person in his eyes.

But after listening to Senior Brother Xinghe's words, Sima Bian realized that he, a person of high status, had forgotten his original aspirations...

They forgot why they ended up on this path.

How did I become like this?

Sima Bian was lucky, but Sima Bian almost forgot that there are many more unfortunate people in this world who can only watch helplessly as their loved ones die because of poverty.

Sima Bian had heard countless times about how benevolent and righteous his Senior Brother Xinghe was, but at this moment, looking Sima Bian Senior Brother Xinghe, he knew that Senior Brother Xinghe went beyond mere benevolence and righteousness...

Senior Brother Xinghe is a person with the world in his heart!

When poor, cultivate your own virtue; when rich, help others and benefit the world!

This sentence had always been hanging in Sima Bian's study. Sima Bian also did all sorts of so-called good deeds every day to show that he was a good person. But after listening to Senior Brother Xinghe's words today, Sima Bian realized that his so-called goodness and Senior Brother Xinghe's goodness were completely different concepts!

When faced with profit, Sima Bian first thought is how to make more profit, but when faced with profit, Senior Brother Xinghe thinks about how to benefit more poor people.

Senior Brother Xinghe is so kind!

God bless Vast Heaven! God bless Senior Brother Xinghe!

No one refuted Senior Brother Xinghe's statement. All the prices were set by Senior Brother Xinghe. These low prices might not be affordable for everyone to buy low-grade pills to cure diseases and save lives, but they would allow more people to afford pills to save lives and not have to watch their loved ones die helplessly.

Looking back on everything Senior Brother Xinghe had done... Sima Bian finally understood that Senior Brother Xinghe was no longer just a kind person, he was a saint!

Moreover, Sima Bian did the math and found that even if the price were compressed to this extent, our Vast Heaven Sect could still make a huge profit!

After all, we can get elixirs just by farming... The cost of these elixirs is ridiculously low, and even at such a low price, we still earn much more than before.

Senior Brother Xinghe's pricing immediately received the support of everyone in the Medicine King Palace.

Ultimately, all pricing was determined according to the prices set by Senior Brother Xinghe.

Faced with the so-called Anti-Xinghe Crystal Alliance of countless low-grade alchemists and their promise to give low-grade alchemists a way out, Sima Bian was furious on the spot.

He instructed his men to reveal the reason why the custom order was priced so low!

The news caused an uproar!

When everyone heard the reason why the Vast Heaven Sect had ordered such a low-priced item, they all fell silent.

Who would complain about having too much money?

Everyone was stunned when they saw the price set by the Vast Heaven Sect. Had the Vast Heaven Sect gone mad? Why would they set such a low price?

Is this going to drive all low-level alchemists in the world to their deaths?

Is this going to drive other drug sellers out of business?

Is the Vast Heaven Sect going to make enemies of all alchemists in the world?

But after hearing Sima Bian's explanation, everyone was stunned... because when they saw the price and the Anti-Xinghe Crystal Alliance, their first thought was of a conspiracy involving profit...

No one seemed to realize... that Chu Xinghe wasn't unaware of the consequences of low prices, nor was he unaware that low prices would cause the Vast Heaven Sect to earn significantly less...

However, Chu Xinghe considered things from a perspective that no one had thought of, taking a viewpoint that was relevant to the plight of those at the bottom of society...

At this moment, countless people sighed that it was no accident that Chu Xinghe was able to obtain the Medicine Saint Inheritance, because he truly had the world in his heart and was full of benevolence!
