"The medicinal ingredients here may indeed be taken freely, but everyone has a fixed quota. For example, each year, I may select one set of ingredients for refining Nine-Colored Pill Lightning, three sets for Eight-colored Pill Lightning, and five sets for Seven-colored Pill Lightning.

Seeing Xuan Kongzi agree, Gu He expressed his gratitude once more. Then he
