Indeed, that was the case. The Foundation Establishment Pill's reputation as a strategic, controlled resource was by no means an exaggeration.
A hint of embarrassment crossed Chef Zeng's face. "Even our own family has never been able to collect all the main ingredients for this pill."
"We'll need to ask for your help, Brother Lin, in sourcing one or two..."
His unspoken meaning was clear: he wanted to leverage Lin Changheng's unique network as a Pill Master.
After all, Lin Changheng had refined a Foundation Establishment Pill before, so there were likely some desperate cultivators who had already reached out to him.
Of course, this approach carried a certain risk. If word got out that someone held the main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill, it would easily attract unwanted attention.
