With Lin Fan's staggering output of more than 3,000 High-Grade Superior Pills every half month, even Azure Cloud Commandery City could no longer absorb them all.
So the Azure Elixir Sect opened many more branches of Azure Elixir Hall in other commandery cities and began selling Lin Fan's pills there.
Moreover, over the past year and more, Lin Fan's lectures in Azure Elixir City had greatly improved the alchemy skills of many people in the Azure Elixir Sect.
Although they could not compare to Lin Fan, they were far better than most alchemists outside the sect.
The Azure Elixir Sect also began planning to open Azure Elixir Hall branches in even more commandery cities.
Although the Azure Elixir Sect had been founded on alchemy, its disciples still devoted plenty of time to cultivation. Alchemy was merely a means of obtaining martial resources. After all, without cultivation, they could not protect such a vast sect.
As such, the Azure Elixir Sect's pill output was not particularly large. Its pills could all be sold in Azure Cloud Commandery and a few neighboring commanderies. Earning enough to cover their needs was more or less sufficient. The ordinary medicines they sold were also largely made within the sect.
But Ten Thousand Treasures Commerce was different. Its alchemists were all hired workers who received monthly pay to refine pills for it. Beyond that, the two sides had no connection.
The stewards of Ten Thousand Treasures Commerce generally did not cultivate either. Many were ordinary mortals or had very low cultivation. It was simply a commerce guild that made money and cared for nothing but money.
In terms of commercial scale, Ten Thousand Treasures Commerce was certainly stronger. In terms of martial strength and the number of experts, however, the Azure Elixir Sect far surpassed it.
