"All of you here can take part. The first person to condense three hundred pill runes will be sent to the Middle Province Alchemist Alliance."
All the students were stupefied at what the vicetreasurer had said, eyeing the man with dubious expressions. A short student took a deep breath before summoning up the most courage he had ever done in his life. "Vice-treasurer, we don't even know what the Way of the Pill looks like. How can we condense three hundred pill runes? Of the eleven students, only the eldest has seen the Way of the Vermillion Fire-"
However, he was interrupted before he could finish.
"You truly are brainless. Do you think everything you see is real?"
Those words stunned the short student. He stared forward with a look of confusion, looking at the vicetreasurer before he looked at the other students.
Fane sighed helplessly, immediately understanding what the vice-treasurer meant. He suddenly remembered how he met Gilbert the first time he entered the pill aura room.
Gilbert's lips curled up into a prideful smirk. Gilbert did not say anything, but the look on his face had given everyone their answer.
The disciple was stumped for a long time before he
said shakily, "Have Gilbert and Andrew already read the Way of the Pill?"
The vice-treasurer nodded. He had already known that long ago. The two of them had done quite a lot because of that matter in secret, while he merely turned a blind eye to everything.
He had been forced to reveal everything at that moment, or he would have kept on turning a blind eye. The short student said, "But.Jsn't the Way of the Vermillion Fire Pill exchanged with merit points?"
