To refine High-grade Pure Lotus Pills, the first thing that had to be resolved was the issue of medicinal ingredients.
But to Ding Hong, this was no problem.
Because the Ding Family dealt precisely in the medicinal ingredients business.
Whether it was the medicinal ingredients of the Anning Army's Alchemy Pavilion or the City Lord's Mansion's medicinal ingredients, all of them had to be bought from the Ding Family.
It was precisely because of this that the Ding Family never meddled in alchemy.

Of course, the City Lord's Mansion and the Anning Army also had their own channels for supplying medicinal ingredients, but none of them could compare to the Ding Family's.
So a balance had formed between the three parties, and no one would break that balance unless they were driven by benefits beyond the ordinary.
For example, right now.
Ding Hong had obtained Zhang Lingshan, a slave capable of refining High-grade Pure Lotus Pills, and it immediately gave her the idea of seizing a share of the pill market.

She did not need to produce other pills to seize the market, nor was she short of that money.
What she wanted was precisely the
