"What Old Wei said is precisely what worries me. However, Reach the Summit is launching nearly ten kinds of heaven-defying pills at once. That seems rather too many.
"Normally, only one or two would live up to the advertising. The other pills would merely be gimmicks, so there is no need to worry too much.
"Besides, we know all the alchemy forces in the Fragrance-Hearing Kingdom like the backs of our hands. None have seen any major personnel changes. The Alchemy Masters at the Reach the Summit Shop can only have come from the Imperial Pill Pavilion."
After a pause, the blue-robed elder continued, "The Imperial Pill Pavilion has over a hundred Alchemy Masters.
"Supplying pills to the Imperial Family takes up a certain amount of their time each day.
"And they claim that every pill they sell will be of superior quality. In that case, they cannot guarantee their supply. There really is no need for much concern!"
"Exactly. How could they possibly introduce so many peerless-grade pills at once? Most of them must be fabricated.
"Besides, given the skill of the Imperial Pill Pavilion's alchemists, their success rate for high-quality pills is only twenty or thirty percent. With losses like that, their expenses could easily exceed their income.
"All in all, this move by the Imperial Family is all thunder and little rain. It is nothing to worry about!"
Wufu Master nodded as well and concluded, "You all make excellent points. We know perfectly well how capable those Alchemy Masters at the Imperial Pill Pavilion are.
"They can indeed produce superior-quality pills at the lower tiers, but doing so with pills of the third tier and above is very difficult.
"Both their output and their costs would be hard to control. They cannot satisfy the martial artists' demand.
