The woman who oversaw the examination was shocked to her core. She could tell that Hui Yue had never before made a medicinal pill, however, here he was, an hour and a half into the examination, and the pill he had created had such a strong aroma that it had to be perfect. The medicinal scent and the clarity of the color were what one would use to determine just how much of the medicinal herbs had survived the refinement process.
The aroma that came from Hui Yue's pill caused some of the apprentices close by Hui Yue to become greatly shocked causing them to lose focus and fail at their refinement process. These new alchemists knew that they did not have the time to redo the pill and a sour look appeared on their faces. They were likely to have succeeded had it not been for that ridiculously strong aroma they smelled.
