One by one, the alchemists who failed gathered on one side of the stage. It wasn't until seven of them failed that another one succeeded.
It was a young woman named He Qian, who managed to make the pill. Despite her young appearance, she was already close to being 30 years old. Her thin robes were drenched in sweat, outlining the curves of her body.
She looked at the pill in hand with a sense of pride and happiness.
"Passed!" Zhong Er exclaimed, making her lips curve upwards. She moved to join the rest of the group while ignoring their envious gazes.
…
Time passed, and in the end, only three people managed to pass the test among the 15 rank 4 alchemists.
The last person who passed was surprisingly a woman wearing a black cloak. She was the last disciple who came along with the rank 5 alchemist woman.
This alone shows the difficulty and complexity of the test.
