Qin Rufeng frowned slightly. A living person sacrificing pills. In his past life, alchemists had already become a style in the Central Region. There were even two different factions for alchemists, namely Alchemy Sect and Human Refinement Sect.
It didn't mean that the number of apothecaries was divided into two factions. Rather, it was that the total strength of an apothecary was divided into two factions. Using a living person to forge a pill would not only raise the quality of the pill, but even the apothecary himself would also rapidly improve due to the influence of this popularity over a long period of time.
Qin Rufeng remembered that in his previous life, he was only a small group of forgotten alchemists in the Central Region. However, because of this, it made things easier for them.
In the end, when they were finally exposed to the sunlight, it had already become the climate. Not only were the alchemists' ranks extremely high, there was also a large group of high-level Profound Practitioners gathered around them.
Even the large factions in Central State that called themselves righteous and influential couldn't do anything to hinder them. They began using a moral method to suppress them, but in the end, they were still defeated by reality.
Pills made by living people were of an extremely high quality, several times better than those of the same grade. Pills made by living people were also of extremely low cost, and some heavenly and earthly treasures used to gather Danqi could be replaced by living people.
Furthermore, the people who were refining pills were all ordinary people who were at the bottom level of the entire continent and did not have any profound strength to cultivate.
Therefore, this method of refining pills was popular throughout the Central Region and even throughout the continent. This was because no one had discovered the drawbacks of this method of refining pills. Their eyes were filled with the benefits of being able to refine pills.
With the cost extremely low, the price was cheap, and there was an untold amount of medicinal pills in stock, the power that had the first idea of buying this pill, under the sufficient supply of medicinal pills, jumped into the second-rate Central Plains forces with its originally low status.
Therefore, the market for using living people to refine pills was completely open. Some of the respectable sects that were initially at the top of the moral hierarchy began to covet the benefits of using living people to refine pills.
In their eyes, the names of ordinary people were no different from grass. Even if they were not refined into pills and they failed, they would still kill a large group of people. So, in their eyes, only benefits and strength were important.
In their eyes, the remaining so-called human beings were no different from ants crawling on the ground, because the most basic rule of this world was that all of this was built on one's strength.
However, this scum in the eyes of Qin Rufeng was only a small part of the alchemists. There was also a part that only believed in one's own strength, and a part that disdained using living people to refine pills.
In his previous life, Qin Rufeng belonged to the second kind of person. In his heart, he did not have any concept of justice or evil, or rather, he did not have a clear boundary.
Everything depended on one's own preferences and one's own emotions. However, Qin Rufeng had always believed in this principle, and that was that in the end, everything outside the clan was just an outsider and there was nothing that could accompany you along this path.
So you can only rely on yourself. Thus, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, Qin Rufeng was turned into a madman.
After Qin Rufeng heard what Wei Zhentian had to say, he immediately asked: "How do I resolve this last matter?"
A hint of unconcealable pride suddenly appeared on Wei Zhenyang's face as he said: "Since ancient times, evil has never suppressed righteousness. Although I, Wei Zhenyang, am not a gentleman witness, I can still differentiate good from evil.
My Owner purposely failed concocting the pills, and at the moment that Gao Ming was about to form the pills, he threw the pill furnace that was about to explode next to Gao Ming.
The might of the top-grade fifth-grade White Dragon Pellet was not a joke. Coupled with the few mystical techniques of the owner, the entire Pill Battling Room could be said to be in a complete mess at that time.
Afterwards, the owner ordered all alchemists who participated in the refining process of the living to be executed, even if they only participated once. None of them would leave the pill shop alive.
During that day, we pill refiners were reduced by almost half. Some people died because of concocting pills, while others who don't know the truth believe that the owner was trying to get rid of them.
Even among the remaining apothecaries, many of the higher-ups of the pill shop were dissatisfied with the owner because of this incident. They wanted to push the owner off the position several times, and it was precisely because of this that the owner was so anxious to break through to become a fifth-grade apothecary.
On one hand, we must stabilize the situation of the pill shop. On the other hand, after that incident, the overall strength of our pill shop has dropped by almost half.
He desperately needed a high level alchemist who had never appeared in the pill shop before to help him out. "Who knew that Owner would be so worried about the pill shop and never come back." After Wei Zhenyang finished speaking, he bowed his head and said.
Qin Rufeng slightly nodded his head, but a trace of undetectable light did flash across his eyes. He turned to Zhang Ba and asked, "Did something happen before your Zhang Ji and Pill Workshop broke off, causing the morale of the army to be unstable?"
Zhang Ba nodded his head, "There is, and it is just like what Wei Zhenyang described. No one knows when, but there are some finished products made from human organs in Zhang Ji's medicine shop. They say it has miraculous effects when concocted pills.
After hearing about this, my father was startled at first, and then ordered to close all of Zhang Ji's business. He then personally went to the account room and started to look through the accounts of the various medicine stores. After checking for a few weeks, what surprised him was that none of the accounts books could be compared with those books made from medicinal herbs that were made from human organs.
It was as if he had jumped out of thin air, and after a few months of investigation, he had ordered his father to burn down all the herbs that came out of nowhere.
"Then came the matter of someone from the pill shop inviting my father."
Qin Rufeng laughed and said: "I already know about this?
Both sides had closed down their powers for several months due to various reasons, but in the end, a tragedy happened at the same time.
So, my guess is that the six apothecaries weren't just one, but two. "Moreover, Zhang Ji's medicinal ingredients and the rest of the pill shop are in a gap that belongs to people with great authority."
