How could I have failed?
It wasn't that Xu Yang was overconfident—it was just that in all his years of alchemy, he had never once failed.
Xu Yang stood there, stunned, going over the refining process in his mind again and again, unable to find even the slightest flaw.
He had long since reached flawless mastery!
"Is it because of the Six Heavenly Skills?"
But that explanation was even more preposterous.
What was the Six Heavenly Skills for?
The Pill Emperor's exclusive secret art.
It was meant to increase the success rate and quality of elixirs.
Even the first skill of the Six Heavenly Skills had never shown any problems.
So where exactly did the problem lie?
No matter how hard Xu Yang wracked his brain, he was utterly baffled.
He rubbed his face fiercely, swallowed a Jade Cloud Elixir, and stepped up to inspect the divine cauldron.
The inside of the cauldron was utterly empty.
