It was to ensure that these alchemists would remain valuable assets for the Anicca Race indefinitely.

Even if ‘forever’ was too ambitious a goal, a century-long commitment would suffice.

A hundred years was ample time to empower the Anicca Race to a level where others would find it challenging to confront them easily.

Upon comprehending the intention behind her words, Gao Zhuo found himself in a dilemma. “Are we suggesting that we should bind these alchemists and force them to refine pills so they can’t leave?”

Gu Chaoyan chuckled.

Gao Zhuo’s straightforward thinking amused her.

“That’s indeed an interesting idea,” Gu Chaoyan replied.

“This…” Gao Zhuo hesitated.

Gu Chaoyan smiled once again.

While it was a viable solution, it was impractical to implement.

Such an approach would disrupt the cultivation world’s civilization.

“You don’t have to go to such extremes, but my proposal might be a bit troublesome. I’ll provide you with the genuine recipe, and you’ll learn the authentic method of pill-making. You’ll select individuals from the alchemy room, and each one will be responsible for a specific stage of the process,” Gu Chaoyan explained candidly. She would disclose the actual pill-making process once Gao Zhuo grasped the situation.

With this strategy, none of the Anicca Clan’s alchemists would possess the complete knowledge of the genuine alchemy method. In order to safeguard their own interests, these alchemists would certainly refrain from revealing their actions to others. If others were to discover it, wouldn’t their livelihoods be jeopardized?

This method would at least ensure the Anicca Race’s interests for an extended period.

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhuo contemplated it and then lit up. “Exactly! Why didn’t I think of this earlier?”

“…”

“If that’s the case, even if other clans attempt to poach our alchemists, they won’t be able to extract any useful information!” Gao Zhuo marveled.

He couldn’t fathom how Kang Shi’s mind operated to conceive such intricate ideas. Even after contemplating for several years, Gao Zhuo doubted he could have devised such a strategy.

It wasn’t surprising. Kang Shi was a prodigy, and his brilliance set him apart from ordinary individuals.

Gao Zhuo felt content with his decision to trust Kang Shi. If he hadn’t recognized Kang Shi’s potential early on, he wouldn’t have achieved his current status within the Anicca Race.

For the following days, Gu Chaoyan instructed Gao Zhuo in the art of alchemy, entrusting him with all responsibilities related to the Medicine Sect. Meanwhile, she took charge of the investigation into the cases involving the First Elder and Kang Yan.

After a few days of interrogation, the First Elder and Kang Yan admitted to poisoning the Clan Leader and colluding with the True Martial Race. Gu Chaoyan offered to release them if they were willing to confess that the True Martial Race was complicit in their schemes.

Eager to save themselves, the First Elder and Kang Yan readily agreed.

Upon their confessions, Gu Chaoyan wasted no time. She led the Anicca Tribe in an attack on the True Martial Race.

When the Clan Leader of True Martial Race learned of Kang Shi’s arrival, he anticipated a potential turning point in their cooperation. However, before he could savor this optimism, news arrived that Kang Shi intended to suppress them. Before they could react, the Anicca Race launched a surprise attack, catching the True Martial Race off guard and inflicting significant losses.

Once Kang Shi achieved justice, he departed with his forces.

Enraged, the Clan Leader of True Martial Race sought alliances with other clans. The Anicca Race’s dominance and their destructive impact on unity among the various races fueled his desperation.
