Therefore, for Jason, the Nourishing Essence Pill is the best choice at this stage.

Nourishing Essence Pill?

"Red Fragrance Alley has enough stock.

"How much do you intend to buy, Master Mu?

"But the Nourishing Essence Pill is already useless to Master Mu, isnt it?

Xu Dashan, the old owner of Mountain City Red Fragrance Alley, was full of doubts in his heart.

As monthly tribute, he had just promised Master Mu a years supply of Nourishing Essence Pill, a total of 36 pills.

In Xu Dashans view, Jason wouldnt need any more Nourishing Essence Pill in the short term.

After all, once one achieves Bone Tempering, the power of Nourishing Essence Pill is essentially useless, its effect is negligible, and an excess could produce medicinal toxins and impurities, affecting the purity of Qi-Blood.

Therefore, the Nourishing Essence Pill Xu Dashan offered is mainly meant to help Jason nurture more trusted disciples, bolstering his own strength.

"Master Mu, let me say one more thing.

"Though the Secret Medicine is good, do not indulge too much.

"Once medicinal toxins and impurities are produced, its likely youll never enter Skin Training in your life.

Xu Dashan reminded.

"I understand.

Jason nodded slightly but said no more.

Seeing Jasons attitude, Xu Dashan naturally didnt say anything further.

Hes said what needed to be said, any more would be annoying.

Xu Dashan wouldnt do such a thing.

"Aside from the monthly tribute for you, Master Mu, Red Fragrance Alley still has a hundred Nourishing Essence Pill left, and as a Guest Elder, you can buy them for 100 Silver Coin each.

Xu Dashan stated a number.

"Good, Ill take them all.

Jason said directly, then a Gold Note with a face value of 200 appeared on the table.

Xu Dashan was taken aback as he looked at the Gold Note in front of him.

Firstly, he was surprised Jason could produce the 200 Gold Note, which equaled 10,000 Silver Coin; even the martial arts schools on Martial Arts Street would need years of accumulation to manage that.

Secondly, he was surprised Jason needed such a large quantity of Nourishing Essence Pill.

Could it be theres some force behind this Master Mu?

Xu Dashan couldnt help but wonder.

Jason being a master of Bone Tempering wouldnt need so many Nourishing Essence Pill; he must be buying for others, and spending 10,000 Silver Coin at once showed the demand was high, and they werent lacking money.

Aside from a force, there was no other explanation for this.

Who could it be?

The rich households in the city were already eradicated by Li Deshang.

Any other outsiders?

Could it be…

Involuntarily, Xu Dashan made more guesses in his heart.

On the surface, Xu Dashan smiled and cupped his hands in thanks.

"Thank you for your patronage.

"Master Mu is even more powerful than imagined.

Xu Dashan said while pocketing the Gold Note, speaking in a veiled manner.

"Please, Mr. Xu, help keep an eye on the stock of Nourishing Essence Pill in Red Fragrance Alley at Zhoufu; if there are any, please have them brought together.

Jason added.

The main purpose of becoming a Guest Elder at Red Fragrance Alley was to purchase Secret Medicine.

Now that it started, he naturally wouldnt need to be so reserved anymore.

As for suspicion?

Anyone truly knowledgeable about martial artists wouldnt suspect someone consuming so much Secret Medicine.

They would only think theres an organization behind him.

Requiring a large amount of Secret Medicine.

For this, Jason wouldnt explain.

This was advantageous for him.

"Zhoufu probably has a hundred pills in stock as well; the rest can only come next quarter, as alchemy isnt easy work.

Xu Dashan was increasingly convinced that there was additional force behind Master Mu.

However, Xu Dashan wasnt worried at all but rather happy.

A force that needed to rely on Red Fragrance Alley, Xu Dashan wished for the stronger it was, the better.

As long as the organization didnt have its own Alchemist, it was Red Fragrance Alleys best partner.

As for having their own Alchemist?

Thats not an easy thing.

Even their owner had spent half his life just to have an Alchemist by chance.

Which also gave birth to the idea of establishing Red Fragrance Alley.

Or rather!

An Alchemist is the foundation of an organization.

Everything else?

Are just branches and leaves.

Even for a martial artist accomplished in Bone Tempering or Skin Training, its the same.

"Alright, please hurry.

Jason said, placing another 200 Gold Note on the table.

Xu Dashan unobtrusively pocketed it and stood up to take his leave.

This time Jason didnt stop him.

Xu Dashan left the martial arts school with his attendant, who couldnt help but ask once they were far away: Why didnt you buy more Nourishing Essence Pill, Sir? There are two hundred in stock at Zhoufu, and new supplies are brought every month, enough to meet daily sales needs?

Xu Dashan took one look at his attendant and couldnt help but shake his head.

Despite his efforts to train him, there were still areas where this attendant fell short.

Not only did he lack patience, his sense of the big picture was also somewhat lacking.

"Alas.

"What do you think of Master Mu?

Xu Dashan asked.

"Very strong, very wealthy.

The attendant answered honestly.

"Why is he wealthy?

Xu Dashan continued to ask.

The attendant blinked, confused as to why his employer would ask such an obvious question, but still replied: Because he unhesitatingly pulled out 400 Gold Note to purchase Nourishing Essence Pill…

As he spoke, the attendant froze.

"He has the need, we have the supply.

"This is the basis of collaboration.

"But we cant give too much at once.

"Just like eating, if you eat too much, youll just feel stuffed and wont want to do anything.
