    The sound within the pill furnace, although not loud, was clearly heard by everyone present. Immediately, the elders cast weird looks at Elder Sun. Elder Sun’s face turned red, standing there looking somewhat at a loss. “Look! Elder Wan is about to seed!”


    A shout of surprise was issued, and everyone’s gaze immediately fell on Elder Wan. Elder Sun also quickly shifted his gaze to Elder Wan, relieved.


    Elder Wan suddenly pped the pill furnace, causing the lid to fly off to one side and arge amount of white smoke to soar into the sky, spreading a rich fragrance of pills throughout the main hall.


    “It’s a sess!”


    “Definitely a sess! Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a strong fragrance of pills!”


    “This is simply amazing!”


    Amidst the exmations of surprise, a hint of pride appeared on Elder Wan’s face as he promptly took the pills out from the furnace.


    “Purple Heart Pill, nine pieces, medium quality.” Elder Wan held up the nine pills in his hand and dered loudly.


    Everyone took a closer look and were shocked. They truly were nine medium-quality Purple Heart Pills.


    An elder murmured to himself, “He actually produced the Purple Heart Pill in one shot, this sess rate is kind of scary.”


    Another person nodded in agreement, “Even if we refine it, the sess rate is at most 60%, achieving sess on the first attempt is not easy.”


    The elder standing next to Zhao Dengming disdainfully said, “He might have just been lucky, that doesn’t prove anything.”


    Yu Zhen simrly said, “That’s right, the Purple Heart Pill is just a first-ss pill. For Elder Wan who is a Second Cauldron Pill Refiner, seeding on the first try is not a big deal.’


    “But what about Elder Sun’s failure? How do you exin that?” an elder retorted.


    Zhao Dengming nced at him and coldly said, “Perhaps Elder Sun was just not in a good state.”


    The man immediately fell silent, unable to find any words to refute.


    At this time, Elder Sun also forciblyposed himself, “I was indeed a bit unsettled just now, hence the failure. If you let me refine it again, I will definitely seed.”


    At this point, Yan Zhengfeng stood up, “Enough with the arguing, let’s continue refining the other pills.”


    Upon hearing this, Elder Sun and Elder Wan had no choice but to continue refining.


    For the second pill, Elder Sun failed again, while Elder Wan seeded on the first attempt.


    Elder Sun’s face turned extremely ugly, as if he wanted to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.


    In contrast to Elder Sun’s pale face, Elder Wan was beaming, appearing extremely joyful.


    The pill refining continued, with the seventeen pill forms being verified one by one.


    Elder Sun finally seeded in refining the eighth pill, but the quality of the pills produced by Elder Wan was even better, so Elder Wan still imed victory.


    The more the crowd watched, the quieter they became. Even the elders who initially opposed validating the pills were now silent, unable to utter a single word.


    However, Gu Daofeng at the top seat, who had remained calm all along, seemed to bepletely detached from this pill form validation.


    Fang Lin stood next to Meng Wuyou, watching the two elders busy refining pills andughing silently in his heart.


    The seventeen pill forms he had modified seemed subtle, but they were actually vastly different.


    Recing one medicinal ingredient alone could alter the entire structure of the pill, subsequently affecting the sess rate and quality among other things.


    The reason why Fang Lin wanted to modify these pill forms was not for the sake of showing off, but because he was unwilling to see the Pill Sect’s pill refiners continue to be misguided due to the errors of their predecessors.


    The pill form is the core of the Alchemy Tao. In Fang Lin’s eyes, there can be no mistakes in any pill form.


    Back in his previous life, the Pill Saint Pce, where Fang Lin was at, had a predecessor who initiated a grand reform of the pill forms. That era brought about a dramatic change in the Alchemy Tao. Although the impact was huge, the final result was good.


    Fang Lin is just improving some first-ss pill forms, not that it’s insignificant, but that he is staying true to his heart as a Pill Sovereign, as well as to the Pill Sovereign Soul within his body.


    If Fang Lin were indifferent, he would not have been worthy of the eternal and immortal Pill Sovereign Soul within him.


    After the seventeen types of pills were all refined, Elder Sun appeared dazed and was standing there as if he had lost his soul.


    Conversely, Elder Wan was full of surprise and delight as he looked at the pills he had refined.


    Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was extremely weird. Only various pill fragrances mixed together created a weird, yet pleasant smell.


    Fang Lin took a couple of deep breaths, revealing a face of enjoyment.


    However, none of the people present were as rxed as him. Everyone seemed to be weighed down by a heavy mountain, their faces grave.


    Even Gu Daofeng, who had been calm all along, was now slightly frowning.


    After a long while, Yan Zhengfeng, the elder with the most experience, let out a long sigh.


    This sigh contained much: resignation,plexity, grief, and eptance.


    “We were all wrong.” Tears streamed down Yan Zhengfeng’s face as he spoke.


    Yan Zhengfeng’s words made all the elders present feel ashamed.


    Those who had strongly opposed validating the forms earlier were now blushing and extremely embarrassed.


    Meng Wuyou took a deep breath. Now that he had aplished this task benefitting the Pill Sect, he felt a wave ofplex, overwhelming emotions.


    Mu Yan looked at Fang Lin, with sparks of admiration in her eyes. In this whole affair, Fang Lin was involved yet seemed detached.


    It is undeniable, the seventeen forme modified by Fang Lin will benefit the Pill Sect, elevating their heritage of first-ss pills.


    This achievement alone makes Fang Lin deserving of respect, just like the many elders.


    Yan Zhengfeng shook his head and sighed, sping his fists at Gu Daofeng, “I was unenlightened. Although the pill forms left behind by our Pill Sect ancestors are precious, us as Pill Refiners did not progress, only knowing to guard the achievements of our ancestors. We were terribly wrong.”


    Gu Daofeng immediately replied, “Elder Yan, don’t be so hard on yourself. Today’s event is a great asion for our Pill Sect. We should be happy, why me yourself?”


    After a brief pause, Gu Daofeng got up, looked at everyone present, and announced loudly, “Today, our junior disciples, Fang Lin and Meng Wuyou, have made tremendous contributions by improving the forme of our Pill Sect. They are truly models for all Pill Sect elders and disciples.”


    Upon hearing this, Fang Lin’s ears perked up. This sounded like a forting reward, and he immediately became excited.


    As for Meng Wuyou, he appeared quite indifferent, not caring in the slightest about any rewards.


    However, Zhao Dengming and others, including all the elders, wore obvious expressions of jealousy. Many of them were discontented, resenting why Fang Lin and Meng had taken all the limelight again.


    Gu Daofeng, smiling, looked at Meng Wuyou and Fang Lin, asking, “What kind of reward do you two want?”


    Meng Wuyou nced at Fang Lin, gesturing for him to speak first.


    Fang Lin was not polite and asked innocently, “Senior, can I be directly promoted to an elite disciple?”


    *Cough cough cough! *


    Meng Wuyou started coughing violently. Yan Zhengfeng’s elderly face froze on the spot, and the other elders also had very interesting expressions on their faces.


    “This Fang Lin is such a blockhead!” Zhao Dengming sneered in his heart, astonished by Fang Lin’s audacity..
