Chu Yi was well aware of the benefits here.
First of all, this kind of reward was actually a way to intimidate other sects, showcasing their solid economic strength.
Second, this Five-Patterned Elixir wasn't something anyone could buy just because they had money. From this, one could see the relationship between the Zhengyang Sect and the alchemists.
As for other reasons, Chu Yi felt it was very likely a demonstration intended to set an example for their own sect members.
"The Zhengyang Sect's boldness is truly remarkable."
Chu Yi couldn't help but comment.
Old Man Zhuge nodded beside him.
"Indeed. From what I know, even your Hengyue Sect's Elder Xu can only refine Four-Patterned Spirit Pills."
"And he can only refine one or two a year. Any more, and his body wouldn't be able to handle it."
"I heard he once refined a Five-Patterned Spirit Pill, but it wasn't completed by him alone—it was done together with Dan Chen."
