There was no doubt that in the end, Fang Lin had taken that unprecedented step forward, reaching a new pinnacle of the Alchemy Tao and becoming the only Pill Sovereign of his era.
Fang Lin's ascension to Pill Sovereign brought unprecedented glory to the Pill Saint Palace. Everyone in the palace regarded him as the rightful successor to the position of Palace Master, gathering the adoration and gazes of countless admirers—the epitome of brilliance and prominence.
And what of Qi Liansheng?
Though he once stood shoulder to shoulder with Fang Lin, his brilliance nearly equal to Fang Lin's, he ultimately failed. In the most critical confrontation, he lost, becoming nothing more than a stepping stone for Fang Lin's rise to Pill Sovereign.
All the glory, all the attention, was taken by Fang Lin. If it were anyone else, there would undoubtedly be feelings of anger and jealousy stirring toward him.
