"Tap, tap..."
Countless pill pellets poured down from the sky, landing across the plaza with crisp, raindrop-like sounds. Though these pellets could not be considered medicinal pills, they were condensed from pure energy. Consuming them would still provide considerable benefits to the human body.
Xiao Yan floated in the sky. At this moment, even with his composure, uncontrollable ecstasy filled his eyes. He had heard that when Pill Rain descended, a Profound Pill would emerge, but this was the first time he had personally witnessed such a spectacle.
"It actually... succeeded."
Catching a pill pellet in his palm, Xiao Yan's hand trembled slightly. This outcome had far exceeded his expectations. Even with his current abilities, his chances of successfully refining a Nine-Rank Profound Pill would not exceed forty percent.
However, this pill refinement had indeed involved a measure of luck. A single pill contained the energy of four embryonic pills—such a thing was exceedingly rare. Each of the four embryonic pills possessed different medicinal properties. Although Little Yi's purification had turned most of their medicinal strength into pure energy, some medicinal properties still remained. Those minute medicinal properties fused with the energy into Xiao Yan's embryonic pill, blending together. Coupled with the fierce refinement of the Pure Lotus Medicine Fire, some subtle changes arose that no one could have anticipated. The result of those changes seemed to have perfectly remedied certain imperfections within the embryonic pill, leading to the success of this refinement...
If even one of those coincidences had been absent, then even if Xiao Yan had absorbed the energy of three embryonic pills, this attempt might still have ended in failure.
But there were no ifs in this world. No one cared about such empty hypotheticals. All they saw was that Xiao Yan had truly refined a Nine-Rank
