Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2524

By the time Andrew left the Robertson residence, it was already evening.

After running around all day, he first went to Iron Sword Sect, where he spent half the day talking in circles and taking all kinds of risks. Then, he dealt with the Robertson family. That part, at least, was not too bad. Once he understood what they needed, it was not hard to get a grip on the situation.

Vernon had hit a bottleneck in his cultivation and was getting old. That meant he was practically waiting for death. It was a closely guarded secret within the Robertson family, but Isabelle clearly did not treat Andrew as an outsider since she had mentioned it to him a while ago.

She had been worried sick about Vernon and came to beg Andrew for help. He did not make things difficult for her and told her straight up that only the highest-grade Life-Sustaining Elixir could help someone at Vernon's level. Low-tier pills, tonics, or rare herbs were all useless.

However, even for Andrew, the Life-Sustaining Elixir was not easy to make. The ingredients were hard to find, and the failure rate was terrifyingly high. After all, a pill that could extend life was not something the heavens would allow to be crafted easily.

Even so, Andrew had no choice but to push through. Luckily, the Robertson family had been well-prepared and had gathered enough materials for several attempts, giving him a margin for error. At least now, he had secured another big client.

However, truthfully, Andrew did not feel a strong sense of achievement. Medicine God's Covenant had already reached its limit with the Iron Sword Sect, the Reyes Grand Auction House, and its own production and distribution.

Adding the Robertson family meant they would have to tighten their belt and recruit more alchemists to increase output. Otherwise, they would never be able to meet the demand.

Still, Andrew brought the Robertson family into the fold mainly because of their influence and power. Once they were tied to him, they would have no choice but to cooperate. If something happened to him, it would hurt them too.

The Robertsons were not stupid, and they understood that perfectly well.

There was another reason too: competition. By securing the Robertson family's contract, he had just dealt a serious blow to Sovereign's Apothecary.

Medicine God's Covenant might not have reached its full strength yet, but Andrew had already started planning how to crush Sovereign's Apothecary.
