Jing Yan's words, of course, were an excuse.
The core material required for refining both the Longevity Pill and the Plum Blossom Pill was the ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew. Although the auxiliary materials of the Longevity Pill were much more precious than those for the Plum Blossom Pill, the rarity of the auxiliary materials could not compare with that of the ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew.
A single drop of ten-thousand-year-old plum blossom dew, once diluted, allowed Jing Yan to refine three Longevity Pills.
This meant that for every family poweur present, each could exchange for one Longevity Pill, and Jing Yan could easily supply them.
The problem was, Jing Yan would not offer every family power the opportunity to exchange for the Longevity Pill. Such an elixir must be controlled; only those who joined the Glory Alliance could easily obtain the Longevity Pill.
