After Zuo Qiudan joined them, they suddenly had far more mid- and high-grade pills, allowing the Pojun Sect's mid- and high-level cultivators to advance much faster.
People such as Yu Banjiang and Ren Yanyu had all received tangible benefits. It was clear how important a master alchemist could be to a faction.
Some pills they could not use up were also sold in their own market. Naturally, Zuo Qiudan had no objection to that.
