"How did you do it?" Yi-Han asked in disbelief.
He took the Essence Rejuvenation Pill and inspected it. anwhile, Silvia jumped onto Tyler.
"Though, the quality needs improvent," Tyler said.
"Who made this?" Yi-Han looked at the alchemists.
Everyone raised their hands.
"Huh?" Yi-Han was confused.
"Ever heard of an assembly line?" Tyler asked.
"I think I heard of it sowhere, like in carriage making," Yi-Han replied.
An assembly line manufacturing process involves a series of individual workers assembling a product, each performing a specific task in a particular sequence.
"Conduct regular training sessions for alchemists to keep them updated on best practices and new techniques," Tyler ordered Yi-Han.
"Am I hired?" Yi-Han asked.
"Yes. You manage this place when I am not here," Tyler nodded.
"Oversee the entire assembly line process, ensuring each alchemist follows the protocols and that production runs smoothly. You are the team leader," Tyler pointed at the old man in the team.
"You... You are responsible for gathering and verifying the quality of the raw ingredients," Tyler pointed at one alchemist.
Tyler then assigned tasks to each person. One was to clean and purify the Essence Grass, removing impurities and ensuring it was ready for processing. Another was to prepare the Jade Lotus Petals, carefully separating and drying them to maintain their potency. The third was to crush and refine the Dragon Vein Stone into a fine powder, ensuring no large particles remained.
The fourth blended the purified Essence Grass with the Jade Lotus Petals in precise proportions. The fifth heated the initial mix at a controlled temperature to release the essences from the ingredients, monitoring the temperature closely. The sixth oversaw the cooling process, ensuring the mixture solidified correctly. The seventh added the refined Dragon Vein Stone powder to the solidified mixture, enhancing the pill’s energy-replenishing properties and mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution. The eighth shaped the mixture into individual pills, ensuring each one was consistent in size and weight using specialised molds. The ninth conducted a final quality check on each pill, testing for potency, appearance, and any defects. Finally, the tenth packaged the pills in protective containers to maintain their freshness and potency.
Tyler stayed in the workshop while they practised, providing abundant ingredients. Tyler had secured a way to buy ingredients and used his Copper Pot to copy so. He himself wasted 25 ingredient sets to make one pill, but he eventually succeeded.
"Go to this address in Tide Isle and et Manager Sebina. Ask her to sell all the manufacturing Pills." Tyler gave more instructions to Yi-Han.
Also told him to Keep detailed records of each batch, including ingredient sources, processing tis, and quality check results. This docuntation is crucial for maintaining high standards and traceability.
After learning and practising pill-making, Tyler returned to study his old occupation—formations, known as arrays in this world. Arrays were simple for Tyler, being similar to formations with slight differences. Tyler easily understood the basics and improved quickly by joining classes. There are a lot of sect factions that teach arrays. He was able to find a decent one.
20 days passed.
A young girl in a white dress was refining a pill when another girl ran toward her in panic. The young girl didn’t get distracted and refined the pill neatly.
"What happened?" the young girl asked.
"S-Senior Sister Mathilda. It’s bad. A new supplier for Essence Rejuvenation Pills appeared. They are selling them for 40 Lydia per pill," she said.
Mathilda was surprised. Their pill sold for 60 Lydia each to touch the profit margin. She couldn’t understand why soone is selling the sa pill for a cheaper price. It would take many alchemists to mass-produce the pills.
"Who is the supplier?" she asked.
The girl hesitated. "Rember the man we drove out before? White from the Investigation Departnt."
Mathilda looked surprised. Her eyes turned crafty. "Well, he is not useless after all. Since he wants to play, then let’s play."
"Announce that our pill will also sell for 40 Lydia," Mathilda said.
"But our profit margin—" The girl wanted to say more but stopped when she saw her senior sister’s smile.
Mathilda then instructed her on so things. The girl’s eyes lit up, and she quickly went to make arrangents.
"Hehehe. Interesting." Mathilda smiled.

Tyler looked at his room, which was full of snow despite the hot outside temperature.
Silvia gave him a side-eye.
"Hahaha... Sorry. I used more Prana Stones to activate the array," he laughed awkwardly.
Arrays could be activated by using either Prana Pearls or Aura Stones. Tyler used Prana Stones because he didn’t have Aura Stones. He practised making all types of Arrays he learned before.
*Knock knock knock*
Soone knocked. Tyler opened the door and saw Yi-Han. He is carrying so docunts in his hand.
"Here are the Aura Stones you asked for. They are of pretty good quality." Yi-Han handed him a small box. Tyler opened it and saw the Aura Stones inside. He had asked Yi-Han to buy one from the sect.
"What are these docunts?" Tyler asked.
"Oh, these are just empty docunts. But carrying them looks like I am a busy person." He said. Tyler’s mouth twitched. He wanted to say sothing but he decided not to.
"Wow... It’s cool here. Can I co in?" Yi-Han asked while sensing the cool air from inside.
Tyler took a small array disk and gave it to Yi-Han. "Take this. It has the sa effect."
Yi-Han thanked him.
"How is the pill manufacturing going?" Tyler asked.
"With as manager, what can go wrong?" Yi-Han said with a smug face.
Tyler waved for him to get out.
"Boss, you should level up faster. All your subordinates are higher level than you," Yi-Han said while leaving.
"Alright," Tyler nodded.
He went back inside, took so array disks and materials, and glanced at his old prototypes in the corner.
"Silvia, help copy so Aura Stones," he said, giving her the Copper Pot while arranging an array.
Silvia quickly made 20 Aura Stones, tied them in a small bag, copied the bag four tis, and then tied them together and copied them nine tis. One Aura Stone turned into a thousand in a couple of minutes.
"Good girl," Tyler patted her head. Silvia smiled and blushed at the praise.
Tyler then took a few Prana Stones and Aura Stones and arranged them in an array. He gave so instructions to Silvia, who nodded and listened carefully.
He quickly sat in the middle and operated the Lake View Art. The energies of both Aura and Prana flooded into him. Tyler remained calm as he absorbed the energy.

Tyler opened his eyes and signalled to Silvia. She understood and poured Prana Stones and Aura Stones into the slot.
4-star Novice Warrior
4-star Novice Mage
5-star Novice Warrior

Tyler’s speed was terrifying. It would make everyone in the sect’s jaw drop. He used an energy absorption formation he learned from his previous world. It only worked when using both Aura and Prana Stones. His previous tests failed when he tried using only Prana Stones.
Even Tyler was a little shocked by his success.
Tyler stood up, catching up with his old cultivation level quickly. In this world, after 5-star Novice Level is Elite Level, similar to reaching Foundation Building Realm after the 9th stage of Qi Refining Realm.
"Congratulations," Silvia whispered.
Tyler smiled. "It’s all thanks to your help."
The little girl smiled.
Tyler willed the mask, which was bound to him, to appear on his face and disappear. His Prana was completely suppressed, and his Aura was suppressed to 2-star Novice Warrior Level.
"Let’s go and eat sothing to celebrate," Tyler said, making Silvia’s eyes light up.
*Knock knock knock*
Tyler opened the door.
"Boss White, it’s bad. Eight of our alchemists quit," Yi-Han said.
Tyler was caught off-guard by the news. "How can they do that? According to the contract, there is a penalty if they quit now."
"Soone paid the fines. It was Senior Sister Mathilda’s subordinates. Even the team leader left. I think they will start their own assembly line. I also heard they are recruiting many average alchemists," Yi-Han said, upset. He didn’t expect these alchemists to betray them.
Silvia grabbed Tyler’s hand. Tyler patted her head, reassuring her not to worry. He began to think.
"You have money, right?" Tyler asked.
"Yes, Boss," Yi-Han replied.
"Then buy so tasty and expensive food," Tyler said.
Yi-Han was confused, but when he sensed Tyler’s Aura, he was dumbfounded.
"I just jokingly said to level up faster. But this is too fast," Yi-Han said.
Tyler didn’t explain, just nodded.
"What about the pill workshop?" Yi-Han asked.
"Don’t worry about it. I will do sothing about that. But now food is important," Tyler waved his hand.
"Buy so fried chicken too," Silvia said.
"Okay, mini-boss," Yi-Han saluted and left. Although confused, he didn’t dare to ask any more questions.
