Although it was Xiao Yan's first time refining the examination's pill formula, his heaven-defying comprehension allowed him to easily grasp its essence.
Combined with his outstanding control over flames, he handled the extraction and purification of every medicinal ingredient flawlessly.
If a second-tier alchemist with extensive refining experience had performed like this, Frank and Otto would not have been surprised. Yet the person before them was only sixteen, barely an adult...
At their age, they had still been working hard to cultivate Dou Qi and could not distinguish medicinal ingredients at all.
If Frank and Otto had known that Xiao Yan was only eleven now, their jaws might have dropped.
"Did you start cultivating Dou Qi and learning about medicinal ingredients while still in your mother's womb?" Frank looked at Xiao Yan as if he were a monster.
Yao Lao nodded slightly in deep agreement. That was more or less how it had been.
Xiao Yan smiled faintly and remained silent.
Fortunately, he had raised his age a little. Otherwise, would they not have dissected him?
Years of cultivating Dou Qi had given Xiao Yan a tall, straight build. Dressed in the custom attire of a second-tier alchemist, he not only retained his original graceful bearing but also gained an air of steadiness and restraint.
As several people emerged from the main doors in succession, Lin Fei and Xue Mei swept their gazes past their future teachers and fixed them on Xiao Yan.
More precisely, on the ancient pill cauldron emblem on his chest!
Two mercury-like ripples continuously writhed faintly as if alive.
"A second-tier alchemist... He really succeeded?!"
Lin Fei and Xue Mei stood as though struck by lightning, muttering to themselves.
Xiao Yi Xian walked gracefully up to Xiao Yan and looked curiously at the lifelike pill cauldron.
