Eighteen Inner Energy Pills — Fang Lin planned to keep ten for himself and sell the remaining eight.
However, Fang didn't intend to sell them at the Pill Pavilion. The Pavilion took too much of a cut, leaving little profit for himself.
Selling pills required a suitable channel. Fang planned to sell the Inner Energy Pills to disciples of the Martial Sect, the first step being to make those disciples aware he had such a rare resource.
Furthermore, Fang Lin had heard from Xu Shangao that if an official disciple sold pills privately, the Pill Pavilion would retaliate and stop it. Some disciples who had tried in the past ended up surrendering their pills to the Pavilion under its pressure.
Fang Lin was worried about the same problem. What if his pill sales led to pressure from the Pill Pavilion? He needed to carefully consider his strategy and avoid landing in a difficult situation.
