Guiyang and Hall Master Jing Yan's alchemy competition was set to last for one month.
A month was not a short time, but to refine a furnace of ninth-level elixirs within a month was incredibly fast.
During this period of alchemy, more than half of the Pill Masters in the inner circle did not leave the scene at all. They stayed from the beginning to the end, watching intently.
It was rare to see a Great Pill King personally refining, and the Pill Masters cherished this opportunity. Many of them were able to glean some insights from the process. Those who left the scene were mostly Pill Masters with lower abilities, completely unable to understand what they were watching.
The movement of the Martial Artists in the outer circle, however, was considerable. Since they were not Pill Masters, they found it pointless to stay in one place for a month just to watch Jing Yan and Guiyang work with the pill furnaces and thus left.
