On the top floor of the tallest building where the Spiritual Energy is most abundant in Wangxing, several disciples of Xuanhu Daojun were discussing the recent distribution of the Xuanxu Pill.
"Over on Fushang Star, another disciple of Lao Xiaoyu has reached Perfection of Spirit Transmutation. He asked me to get one more pill and promised to pay with Dao Merits according to market price..." a slightly thin, upright male cultivator began speaking to the others.
He was Huo Gaoyuan, who was nominally in charge of Fushang Star, though he had given it to Lao Xiaoyu to manage for convenience. Over the years, they had developed some rapport and face-saving relations.
"Junior Brother, why didn't you mention this earlier? The distribution numbers for the Xuanxu Pill across all star systems have already been publicly confirmed. Changing now would go against the rules."
A white-haired young man sitting in the center frowned slightly, seemingly disinclined to agree.
