Before long, half a day had passed.
A massive pillar of light shot into the sky from Xiao Yang's Pavilion.
An irrepressible medicinal fragrance spread from within Xiao Yang's Pavilion.
The Inner Academy students had already grown accustomed to the tremendous disturbances that now occurred from time to time.
It happened every few days. Wouldn't reacting every single time get tiring?
But the Inner Academy elders found it harder to contain themselves.
The moment they saw this spectacle, they knew Xiao Yang must have finished refining a Sixth-Grade Pill.
They just did not know whose pill he had refined this time.
Over the past few days, Hu Gan had visited the Inner Academy once after learning that Xiao Yang was all right.
He had broken through to Dou Zong!
When the academy's Peak Dou Emperor elders learned of Hu Gan's breakthrough, they were all terribly envious.
Fire Elder in particular had a good relationship with Xiao Yang, and he was also a Peak Dou Emperor.
Not only that, Fire Elder was a Peak Fifth-Rank Alchemist himself. Once he broke through to Dou Zong, he would very likely become a Sixth-Rank Alchemist.
So the instant he saw the disturbance, he went straight to the entrance of Xiao Yang's Pavilion to wait.
He could not sleep at home anyway, so he might as well wait here.
Before long, the other Inner Academy elders found themselves feeling much the same as Fire Elder.
One by one, they arrived outside Xiao Yang's Pavilion.
At worst, they would just have to wait here for a while.
If they could get their pills early, that would be a win!
Most importantly, they could not let anyone else receive their pills first.
Even if their place in the queue was relatively high, someone arriving ahead of them
