If he wanted to acquire Spirit Stones, there were two fastest ways.
One was killing people and seizing their treasures. After all, horses did not grow fat without night grass, and men did not grow rich without windfall wealth!
But that was the conduct of Robber Cultivators. One misstep, and he could easily bury himself instead.
Sky Wave Immortal City was no small place like Great River Market or Flowing Light Market.
Who knew which corner might suddenly produce some great expert?
Then he would fail to kill anyone and instead send away his own fortune.

With this force, he could refine pills on a large scale.
Otherwise, relying on himself alone?
He had once calculated the numbers. Taking the High-Grade Jade Marrow Pill as an example, without anyone's help, he could refine at most two batches a day.
