Elder Yao stroked his beard and said, "This time, you must raise your success rate in refining fourth-tier pills to at least fifty percent before you can leave seclusion."
Xiao Yan could not help but feel a headache. Good lord, he had turned around and gone into seclusion again.
Even those old fellows who had lingered at the fourth-tier level for most of their lives might not necessarily achieve a success rate above fifty percent.
"Teacher, isn't that requirement a little too high?" Xiao Yan complained.
Elder Yao smacked Xiao Yan on the head and said, "Brat, my standards for you are naturally different from everyone else's. After all, your innate Soul Power is so strong. You're practically a born alchemist!"
Great, having strong Soul Power had turned out to be a misfortune. Xiao Yan thought.
Xiao Yan could only sit down at the platform with a wronged expression, calm his breathing, focus his mind, and prepare to refine pills.
This time, I have to completely master fourth-tier pill refinement! Xiao Yan swore inwardly and began refining pills once more.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan had remained in seclusion within the Medicinal Herb Storage for three months.
Over those three months, Xiao Yan continuously left seclusion to select medicinal ingredients, then refined pills for Zi Yan.
With Zi Yan finding medicinal ingredients for him, and after refining without rest or sleep, Xiao Yan's Soul Power rose to another level.
Judging purely by Soul Power, Xiao Yan's Soul Power had reached the level of a fifth-tier alchemist. With only the gradual accumulation of time, Xiao Yan would easily step into the realm of a fifth-tier alchemist.
The Inner Academy had also experienced many major events during this time.
