Among Xu Yi's resources, medicinal pills were by far the most plentiful. Pills that strengthened cultivators' bodies or replenished their qi and blood were ordinary fare to them, but in the hands of common mortals, they became wondrous elixirs.
Thus, all he had to do was dissolve their medicinal power during the people's prayers and send it across the air. The treatment would be highly effective.
So, before deciding to begin bestowing favors on his followers, Xu Yi had Tu Min and Xie Hua gather all their resources and exchange them for medicinal pills.
Even so, with more than a hundred thousand followers at a time, they couldn't help everyone. They could only prioritize the seriously ill and those in urgent need, and there was no way to provide a full course of treatment to each person.
Once the underlying problem was resolved, the rest had to be left to the body's own ability to heal.

"Rest assured, Divine Lord. We'll keep things under control. Our resources are indeed substantial, but if things keep developing at this rate, they won't last long.

So the situation remains firmly in our hands."
Xie Hua spoke with confidence.
Tu Min said, "By the way, may I ask, Divine Lord, has the Earth Palace sent someone to complete the certification process?
