Medicinal ingredients

Long Chen uses medicinal ingredients to craft Medicinal pills.
== Life Ring ==
Some of those living medicinal ingredients had been kept within his life ring. He wasn't planning on using them to refine pills. After all, living medicinal ingredients were a hundred times more valuable than dead ones. In the outside world, Long Chen could obtain a massive amount of wealth from them. Furthermore, these living herbs were ones that people would fight over to buy, which would make the price skyrocket.
His life ring was packed with precious herbs, but Long Chen didn't care whether or not they were comfortable inside. In any case, it was fine as long as they didn't die. Even if their branches snapped or their leaves fell, even if they were on the verge of dying, it was still fine.
== Paucity of herbs ==
They were priceless treasures in the outside world. Even half-dead herbs would be treated importantly by sects. Those sects definitely had ways to make them flourish again.
In the outside world, many precious medicinal ingredients had already gone extinct. But there were also some precious herbs that were all in the hands of certain sects and powers. They treated those precious herbs as things even more important than their wives, and sometimes they wouldn't even let others know they had them.
Even if they were to sell them, they would only sell dried-up herbs. They would rarely ever let people know that they had the living versions that they could breed themselves.
It was only when something was so rare that no one could obtain it that its price would skyrocket. So, there were actually quite a few ‘extinct' herbs that the larger powers possessed and kept secret from the rest of the world.
The price of those herbs was all controlled by those sects. As they steadily drove those prices higher, the smaller powers could only spend an exorbitant amount of money to purchase them. As a result, the larger sects only grew stronger, while the smaller sects always remained weak.
