"Wait, wait!" Jin Jing interrupted Ying Wu and waved her hand at him. "We've been talking for such a long time, don't you think there's something wrong here?"

"Problem? What's the problem?" Ying Wu shook his head in confusion, "I didn't find anything!"

"What can you find with your brain?" Jin Jing rolled her eyes, looked at the others, and said, "Think about it, the three major sects promoted the Ascension Sect to make people in the martial arts world interested in the Ascension Powder, so that they can find the right people to test the drug for them. So, this drug testing should be a long-term, not a short-term, right?"

"Yeah!" Ying Wu nodded, "And then? Any questions?"

"Their plans and goals are so clear, how could they just be profiteering? The reason why a pill is so expensive is because the cost itself is very high, not because of huge profits." Jin Jing sighed, looked at Shen Cha, then looked at Hong Ye, "If Miao Miao's medicine was sold outside, it would also be this price."

"This." Shen Cha thought for a moment and nodded, "I know a little bit about it. The old doctors in the Imperial Hospital also said that the medicine made by Miaomiao herself is very expensive."

"Yes, so this cannot be said to be a huge profit, it can only be said that they barely recover the cost. If their own people can meet their needs for drug updates and improvements, they should not look for outsiders. After all, outsiders are not as loyal as their own people. Once they look for outsiders, the disadvantages of the drug may be exposed. Therefore, the later the disadvantages are exposed, the better." Jin Jing looked at the others and asked, "Isn't that right?"

"Well, that makes sense." Merlin nodded. "What does this mean?"

"It means they are unlikely to cause trouble for themselves, and it means they will conduct strict screening on those who come to them for medicine."

"I understand what Xiaojing means. You are right. Their medicine is sold at a high price, not for profiteering, but to scare off some people. After all, not all people in the martial arts world can afford so much money to buy it. They use the money to screen out some people, and then tell some people that this medicine may not be suitable for them and may kill them, which will scare off another part. The remaining part should be more or less guaranteed, at least in the short term, that they will not age suddenly or die because of taking their Ascension Powder."

"Yes, that's what I mean." Jin Jing nodded towards Xue Ruitian and continued, "After such a strict screening, the situation that happened later should not have happened. In other words, it is impossible for the Ascension Powder to be criticized and even listed as a banned item after only being popular for a few months. From being sought after to being condemned by everyone, such a huge gap, don't you think it's strange?"

"If you really meet the conditions and take the Ascension Powder, its disadvantages will not appear in just a few months. It will take at least ten years." Ying Wu nodded gently, "It's really a bit strange!"

"What's so strange about this? Because rare goods are valuable!"

"Rare goods are worth hoarding?" Jin Jing raised an eyebrow. "You mean, someone bought medicine from the Ascension Sect and hoarded it, and then sold it on the black market at a high price, accepting all who come? But this medicine is already very expensive, if the price is higher, I'm afraid no one will buy it, right?"

"Brother Xiaojing, this thing can be listed as a banned item, it must be popular in more than just the martial arts world." Shen Cha chuckled, "Besides, if only martial arts people died, it wouldn't cause such a big commotion." "That's right!" Hongye snorted coldly, yawned on Merlin's shoulder, and said, "The Ascension Sect must have received an order to strictly examine the circumstances of the martial arts people who bought this medicine. There shouldn't be too many martial arts people who can really meet the requirements and buy this medicine, and it's impossible for it to be popular in the martial arts world, but for so many of them to be leaked, someone must have taken a risk."

"Is there a traitor in the Ascension Sect?"

"That's for sure. There must be someone inside who is secretly selling the medicine. Everyone has money to earn, so they turned a blind eye and got away with it. I guess the three major sects only realized that their own people betrayed them after the incident." Hongye raised an eyebrow, "Also, those who really meet the qualifications to buy medicine may not use it for themselves, but they deliberately buy more, then change hands several times and sell it at a higher price for profit. Those who can buy medicine through these two channels definitely do not meet the requirements of the Ascension Sect and the three major sects. Those who buy medicine know it very well. It is because they cannot buy it through legitimate channels that they have given these people an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"But." Xue Ruitian sighed softly, "People who don't meet the requirements will easily have problems eating, right? Don't they care?"

"This is human nature. We always hope for the best." Shen Cha spread her hands. "Many people know that this is dangerous, but they always think that others are unlucky when they encounter it, but they are lucky and will not be so unlucky, so..." She raised her eyebrows slightly. "The matter of Feisheng Powder is very simple to say, just like smuggled salt, but smuggled salt will not kill people."

"That's right!" Jin Jing and Xue Ruitian looked at each other and nodded at the same time, "I guess the three major sects didn't expect that their medicine would have such a big flaw so soon. It was banned in a few months, and the Ascension Sect was destroyed." They looked at Shen Cha, then at Ying Wu, "Some of the powerful people at that time died, right?"

"Yes!" Ying Wu nodded, "I heard that several generals in several places lost their lives because of taking this Ascension Powder, which aroused public anger." He sighed softly, "I didn't expect that Master Falian actually found the recipe for this Ascension Powder and even developed a finished product. It's incredible."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a prescription from the three major sects. Do you think there is such a possibility, that is..." Shen Cha and Shen Haolin looked at each other, "Originally, this prescription was in the hands of Master Falian."

"It's not ruled out." Xue Ruitian nodded, "After all, this thing is not so easy to get. As a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, it is normal for him to have such a thing." He thought for a while, "And the materials for the Ascension Powder should not be easy to find, right?"

"I don't know about that." Shen Cha shook his head gently. "Whether it's easy to find or not, this Ascension Powder can be studied for many years. The financial resources are not something that ordinary martial arts sects can support."

"Xiaocha is right."

The door curtain of the big tent was lifted from the outside, and Jin Miaomiao walked in carrying her medicine box, looking tired. Seeing that everyone stood up and looked at her, she smiled and waved to everyone.

"Everything is fine, don't worry!" She looked at Shen Cha and said, "Good news, Yanyou's life is saved."
