'That is the most important thing right now.'
'If I can buy herbs more cheaply, I can refine more pills. If I can refine more pills, I can sell more. If I can sell more, I can buy more techniques. And so on.'

"Yes."
"And they also receive better prices when selling pills, reduced commission fees, and preferential rates in negotiations with the association."
Kyrian did not need to think for long.
"That is useful. Very useful."
"Can I take the test here?" he asked directly.
Lio Han nodded, a calm gesture, as though he had already expected the question.
"The Alchemists Association of the Sky Caravan is an independent organization in many aspects. We have our own supply chains, our own evaluators, and our own inventories."
