"Yes, but unfortunately, the supply can't meet the demand."

Li Yuanliu laughed as he heard this: "This elixir is very popular among female cultivators. As soon as it comes out, it gets snatched up immediately. Even Golden Core Cultivators find it hard to get one. Of course, it's because the medicinal herbs are quite rare, so the production is low. Getting a furnace once a year is already good."

After hearing this, Shen Wang decided in his heart that he still had to get some Face Stabilizing Pills for the women in his family. If they were his women, they should have eternal youth.

"This area is the territory of the Alchemy Pavilion, which has the best environment in the Hundred Refining Sect and grows a lot of medicinal herbs."

Li Yuanliu said, as the environment ahead began to change, instantly turning into a lush green area.

The front of the Hundred Refining Sect is mostly barren, especially near the Artifact Refining Pavilion, where the dense fire aura makes plants particularly sparse.

Here, however, is the back of the mountain, with a cool topography, abundant rainfall, and lush vegetation, a completely different style that Shen Wang hadn't noticed before.

"The environment here is nice."

Shen Wang's eyes lit up. His bloodline leans towards the Wood Attribute, and he feels very comfortable in places with a rich aura of flora, and his cultivation would be faster.

"Of course, this is the best area within the Sect, and many elders live here."

Li Yuanliu smiled: "The herbal gardens on the mountain are their lifelines. Don't enter or step on their herbs when passing by, or they will be furious."

Listening to Li Yuanliu, Shen Wang saw ten or so people wearing grey clothes, some with pale faces, some with darkened faces, some with sallow complexions, their auras weak and strange.

"These are the Medicine Slaves, helping to test some new medicines. Some volunteer, and some are cultivators who were captured."

Li Yuanliu introduced.

Hearing about the Medicine Slaves, Shen Wang was surprised: "Is the Alchemy Pavilion still researching new medicines?"

"Yes, some elixirs need human assistance to study, such as detoxifying medicines."

Li Yuanliu nodded.

Shen Wang had a bad feeling,

"Where do they usually stay?"

Li Yuanliu was taken aback: "I don't know. Why are you asking?"

He didn't know the specific reason Shen Wang had returned. It was all arranged by Liu Da Rong for him to do things, so naturally, he didn't know why Shen Wang was doing this.

"Just curious, wanted to take a look."

Shen Wang could only make up an excuse.

"I'll ask for you."

Li Yuanliu approached a disciple monitoring the Medicine Slaves, "This Junior Brother, where do these Medicine Slaves usually stay?"

The latter answered politely: "Senior Brother, they live at the foot of the back mountain, in the northwest direction."

"Can we take a look?"

Shen Wang asked.

"Of course, but these people aren't very clean, so it might not smell good. Do the two of you need me to lead the way?"

Although the Alchemy Pavilion disciple found it a bit odd, he still revealed the location.

"No need, we'll just go take a look."

Shen Wang glanced at the corresponding location. From the number of arrays, it could be seen that what the other said was true. This area, with its poor environment, was basically where the servants lived.

He didn't care about Li Yuanliu's confusion and walked straight over.

The servants and slaves they encountered on the way did not dare to look at them. Shen Wang walked quickly and soon reached the foot of the mountain.

The environment here was damp, with a row of dilapidated houses.

Many people looked ill as they went about their work weakly.

But there were some exceptions. In one room, a few people were cleaning, seemingly just arrived.

Outside, a young woman, full of energy, was washing clothes. Though her skin was dark and her face was full of scars, she was still noticeably different from the nearby Medicine Slaves in Essence, Qi, and Spirit, her eyes holding a certain determination.

Seeing this woman, Shen Wang stopped, clenched his fists, and an aura of Evil Qi appeared around him.

This aura made Li Yuanliu beside him somewhat intimidated, automatically glancing at the woman.

Her face was full of hideous scars, her skin blackened and cracked, dressed in oversized clothes, nothing special.

"Junior Brother Wang, do you know this woman?"

Li Yuanliu observed that Shen Wang seemed to recognize this ugly woman.

"Yes, let's go."

Shen Wang didn't look any longer and turned to leave.

He was almost certain that his father and the others were here; the ugly woman just now was his little sister!

The moment he saw her, he even had the urge to kill.

But ultimately, he held back.

If he had nothing to attach to here, then acting recklessly wouldn't be a problem, he could even just take people away and fight to his heart's content.

But here, there was Liu Da Rong, and Zheng Yunshu's relatives. He could afford for the situation to get big, but it would definitely affect others.

Especially Liu Da Rong who had been helping him, and even Li Yuanliu who was following along.

"Hold on. My little sister and the others can endure, why can't I?"

Shen Wang comforted himself.

Li Yuanliu waited a moment before catching up, sensing the change in Shen Wang, and said: "I just asked around, and they were brought over by Yu Qiong Dian, not sure how they became Medicine Slaves."

"It was Yu Qiong Dian's doing on purpose."

Shen Wang said coldly.

To Yu Qiong Dian, these Shen Family people were not important, but having them around might be potentially dangerous. The best way was to dump them.

Putting them in the Hundred Refining Sect not only does a favor but also completes the tasks arranged from above, why not?

"They're surnamed Shen, you... don't act impulsively, Medicine Slaves are privately owned."

Li Yuanliu stopped speaking here, knowing only that Shen Wang had disguised his identity, with his real name as Shen Wang, naturally guessing that they were from the same clan.

He feared that Shen Wang might impulsively try to rescue them, causing trouble for himself.

"I know. Who do they belong to now?"

Shen Wang asked expressionlessly.

"Elder Xie Zhenxin, a Medicine King."

Li Yuanliu was indeed very capable, figuring out the situation in just a short time.

"I got it."

Shen Wang nodded.

Yu Qiong Dian probably had a good relationship with Xie Zhenxin to dump the people on him.

"Wait, his surname is Xie?" Shen Wang felt a sense of familiarity.

"That's right, You've guessed correctly, he's from the Xie Family."

Li Yuanliu didn't know that Shen Wang had killed Xie Xianlong but knew that Shen Wang had a conflict with Xie Jintong.

"Okay."

Shen Wang could only say okay.

He began to consider how to rescue the people without causing too much trouble for Liu Da Rong.

"It needs long-term planning, better stay here for some time."

Shen Wang, for a moment, couldn't think of a good method. He wasn't familiar with this Xie Zhenxin and had conflicts with the Xie Family, directly asking for people might be difficult.

"Brother Li, that's about it, let me treat you to some snake meat."

Shen Wang said.

"Is that it?"

Li Yuanliu was surprised.

"It's enough, let's go to Hundred Fragrances Tower, and I'll buy you a few drinks."

Shen Wang shook his head. He didn't intend to see Yu Qiong Dian, but rather just to confirm if his clan members were there. Now that he visited the Medicine Slaves' residence, he had achieved his goal, no need to wander around anymore.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Li Yuanliu smiled. Since Shen Wang was choosing to treat him, it meant he wouldn't do anything rash, giving him a sigh of relief.

Honestly, he really didn't want to provoke the Alchemy Pavilion.

Hundred Fragrances Tower was bustling, and many cultivators from the sect would come here to satiate their cravings. Shen Wang specifically booked a private room and ordered the best food and drink.

"Junior Brother Wang, you're spending quite a bit here."

Li Yuanliu looked at the food and drink, which would cost at least 300 Spirit Stones, and said it'd take days of digestion to return to normal after consuming so much.

"Brother Li has helped me a lot, so of course, I must treat you generously."

Shen Wang picked up the wine pot and poured wine for Li Yuanliu himself. The wine this time was Crimson Flame Wine, which still burned with a red flame as it was poured, containing abundant Fire Spiritual Power.

"Junior Brother Wang, you're too kind. These were orders from the Pavilion Master."

Li Yuanliu politely raised his cup: "If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know. I, Li Yuanliu, may not have much cultivation, but in managing affairs, I've met quite a few people, and I can help inquire for news."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, but I hope Brother Li can take care of the Medicine Slaves we talked about today. I want them all to be safe."

Shen Wang said earnestly, picking up his cup and draining it in one gulp.

Li Yuanliu hurriedly followed suit, and the rich Crimson Flame Wine made his face flush red, yet he noticed Shen Wang was only slightly red, realizing Shen Wang's cultivation was much higher than his.

He exhaled a breath of hot air: "I will keep an eye on them for you. If there's any change, I'll inform you immediately, but guaranteeing their safety is not something I can promise. After all, they are not mine, and Medicine Slaves testing medicine involves risks."

"That's enough."

Shen Wang didn't press too hard, knowing that no matter how good Li Yuanliu's connections were, he was just a steward and not an Elder.
