Thunderclouds churned across the vast sky.
These thunderclouds were divided into several masses, each suffused with brilliant colors.
The terrifying pressure within them made every expert below the Dou Zun level tremble inwardly. Even Dou Zun experts dared not underestimate these thunderclouds.
As the thunderclouds roiled, the entire Pill Tower square fell silent.
To the vast majority of people on the Dou Qi Continent, five-colored pill lightning was already the stuff of legends. Many low-level Dou Zhe did not even know pill lightning existed.
More importantly, nearly half of the eighth-rank Alchemists present were incapable of producing five-colored pill lightning themselves.
After all, qualifying for the Pill Tower's assessment only required refining three pills that summoned two-colored pill lightning, or one that summoned three-colored pill lightning. Five-colored pill lightning was already an exceedingly difficult feat.

At the very least, the entire Pill Tower had only a dozen or so.
And at Xiao Yan's terrifying rate of improvement, surpassing them was only a matter of time.
By then, the only Alchemists who could truly make Xiao Yan feel a gap between their abilities would likely be Ninth-Rank Alchemists.
With such thoughts in mind, all the veteran Alchemists turned their gazes toward Yao Lao nearby, envy, jealousy, and all manner of other emotions crossing their faces.
Under their stares, Yao Lao remained utterly unruffled. Instead, he could no longer suppress the smile blooming like a chrysanthemum across his old face.
The instant this pill lightning appeared, Yao Lao knew the pill was certain to succeed. As for the terrifying power contained within the lightning, he paid it no mind
