Tang Yan was delighted to hear this. The prey had finally taken the bait in the trap he had laid back then.
"Wind-Chasing Hall is Reach the Summit's eyes. Only by seeing the situation clearly can we make sure Reach the Summit walks a steadier path.
"If you need anything, speak directly to Fang Xuan. Make absolutely sure the intelligence work proceeds smoothly!" Tang Yan said solemnly.
"Understood!" Lan Qi nodded.
Du Shu also began reporting to Tang Yan. "Since the last Pill Dao School session ended, the Alchemy Masters from the various groups have been able to supply large quantities of superior pills. They've all begun cooperating with us, and the results have been quite good.
"Although our profit margins have fallen, our operations have expanded so much that our earnings have increased fivefold.
"After the last batch of students returned, they took the initiative to promote Reach the Summit. Now Reach the Summit Academy is rapidly gaining renown in the alchemy world.
"I suggest we ride this wind and launch a second session."
Tang Yan did not rush to state his position. He turned and asked, "Fang Xuan, what do you think?"
Fang Xuan said calmly, "The Pill Dao School has been very successful. It currently enjoys universal praise within the field, and twelve alchemy organizations have already approached me about joining Reach the Summit.
"Some of them are lineage-based organizations, though. While they're interested, they're worried they won't be able to face their ancestors after death, so joining us isn't convenient for them.
"I'll devise some deeper forms of cooperation to bind them closely to Reach the Summit.
"Overall, Reach the Summit Academy has had a very positive influence. The benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.
"I also recommend launching a second session."
Tang Yan nodded in approval.
