Elder Tao kept directing one candidate after another to place their pills inside the Pill Efficacy Tester as the number of candidates present in the room continued to get lower and lower.
Many who had been on the borderline and were uncertain whether they would pass the test managed to clear it, while others in similar situations, confident that they would pass, fell short by just a percentage point.
As a result, when all the pills had been tested, the number of candidates still present in the room had fallen all the way from fifty-four to thirty-nine, which was a considerable drop.
However, instead of nervousness, delight and anticipation filled everyone's faces as they waited for Elder Tao's final address, having successfully cleared the Pill Apprentice Test.
Elder Tao's figure soon arrived in front of them as he observed the excitement exuding from all of them with an expressionless face.
