Half a year later, the Foundation Establishment Pills were finally ready in the Alchemy Hall. Chen Xun volunteered to deliver the pills to Ji Kun, saying they both came from Nine Stars Valley and he wanted to see him off on his final journey...

The elders had no objections. It was a favor easily granted, and delivering a Foundation Establishment Pill to a rogue cultivator had no real benefit, as most people failed at Foundation Establishment. There had even been incidents of resentment within the sect because of this.

They handed Chen Xun a jade bottle containing a single, pitch-black, glossy Foundation Establishment Pill.

The Five Aggregates Sect had strict rules and severely punished corruption. If the Foundation Establishment Pill didn't reach the disciple, the offender would face imprisonment in the Law Enforcement Hall at best, or have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from the sect at worst.
