The old man shook his head slightly. "I heard that one of the higher-ups in the Qin Family let it slip accidentally while drunk. He never expected to stir up a hornet's nest. Upon hearing the news, nearly all the major families and sects swarmed in, demanding to purchase this elixir. Although none of those powerful factions have openly said they want the pill formula... well, I'm sure you understand, young man. They all have ulterior motives."
The old man sighed emotionally. "Faced with massive orders from these powerful families and sects, the Qin Family simply couldn't refine that many elixirs in such a short time. And if they can't produce them, they're bound to offend those families and sects. People will say, 'This is your business. If you can't produce the quantity we demand, you're delaying our affairs, and the consequences of that are immense. How about this... just sell us the pill formula!'"
"Using their power to bully others!" Qin Li said through gritted teeth.
