After listening to Cheng Chou, Jiang Hao could feel how much stress the Candlelight Pill Pavilion was putting on the Spirit Herb Garden and its workers.
The status of alchemists in the sect was indeed high, especially since they knew how to unite and leverage their advantages. Once targeted, the risk would be much greater.
However, he wanted to know why the Candlelight Pill Pavilion was targeting the Cliff of Broken Hearts.
Jiang Hao remained calm. "What if we don't deliver the spirit herbs?"
"Well, we would still need to sacrifice the space and guard the herbs and take care of them. They won't force us, but we will incur a loss. They can refuse to pay us because of the delay."
"How was this issue resolved in the past?" Jiang Hao asked.
"We received inferior pills as debt repayment," Cheng Chou said. "However, it was difficult to sell a batch of those pills since no one in the sect would buy them. We can only sell them outside the sect."
