The Pill Alliance has been expanding its influence in the Seven Seas, which is common knowledge, and in recent years, they have achieved notable success, establishing firm roots there.
However, the forces in the Seven Seas have always resisted the expansion of the Pill Alliance, particularly the Taoist Sect, one of the three sects, which also possesses its own established Pill Refining force, and hence their rejection of the Pill Alliance is especially strong.
Therefore, even though the Pill Alliance's growth in the Seven Seas has been swift, it has always faced immense pressure at the same time.
Not long ago, Tianlan Elder, one of the Eight Great Elders, personally rushed to the Seven Seas to oversee the Pill Alliance operations there.
With the presence of Tianlan Elder, it was as if the Pill Alliance had a stabilizing anchor, preventing the Taoist Sect from applying too much pressure on the alliance.
