Suddenly, a massive plume of smoke shot out from the Pill Furnace. It gathered mid-air, condensing without scattering, just like a white cloud. Liu Qing's expression changed drastically as he exclaimed, "A Pill Cloud! That's a Pill Cloud!"
It was said that the creation of High-Level Elixirs was accompanied by all sorts of unusual phenomena, and the Pill Cloud was one of them. Only a Sixth-Grade Elixir, or a Fifth-Grade Elixir of the utmost quality, could possibly create one.
The appearance of the Pill Cloud confirmed one thing: the Elixir Qin Ya was currently refining was undoubtedly Fifth Grade or higher. This sent Liu Qing's shock to its absolute peak. A Fifth-Grade Alchemist who wasn't even twenty years old… If word of this got out, it would absolutely cause a storm throughout the Empire.
"I've really wasted all these years of my life," Liu Qing muttered, a feeling of shame and inadequacy welling up inside him as he looked at the young man before him.
