This chapter opens with a description of a new type of pill, which is rich in primordial qi. The pill has the effect of at least two primordial qi pills, and it is easily absorbed by the body. This is a revolutionary idea, because it would change the entire market for pills in the country. . The next question is whether or not chenqin plans to sell this type of pills at the pill-hall. He says he will not sell the recipe, but will instead sell the pills to the pill hall. The earnings will be split in half among the two of them, and they will be responsible for the cost of materials and refinement of the pills. He is not willing to sell half of his earnings because he is part of the "pill-hall," but he is willing to buy an even bigger share if he can. He has an ancient recipe for a "rank 2 primordial-qi pill" that only requires 70 percent of the herbs required to make the normal "rank 1 primordial- qi pills" but provides twice as much effect. This recipe is even more revolutionary because it is much easier to make than the rank 2 pills on the market because it requires twice the amount of herbs to make. The profit margin is even wider for the old recipe than for the new one.
