Third-grade Spirit Pills are different from second-grade Spirit Pills; their impact on the strength of major sects like Shushan Sect is extremely clear, and so the Shushan Sect needs to control the distribution of Third-grade Spirit Pills.
The alchemy skills of Li Shiming have taken on strategic significance for Shushan Sect, and as such, his status within the sect has risen steadily as he continues to produce Third-grade Spirit Pills.
During this period, Elder Su and Elder Ma had talked to him multiple times, all explicitly showing the sect's emphasis on his safety.
They hinted that he shouldn't venture out lightly, as his ability in alchemy was too important for the sect.
It is known that although the orders Li Shiming accepted seemed personal, and the rewards went to him, many Golden Core cultivators, through these transactions, had strengthened their ties with the Shushan Sect.
Even at the Golden Core level, Shushan Sect's standing had significantly improved.
