According to the rules of the Pill Alliance, there are two essential conditions to qualify for the position of Hall Master at one of the thirty-two halls.
First, one must possess the cultivation level of the Spirit Bone realm; second, one must be a Five Cauldrons Pill Refiner, that is, a Master of Pill.
Only by meeting these two requirements can one have the qualification to compete for the position of Hall Master; otherwise, it's not even worth thinking about.
After all, the thirty-two halls are a very important component of the Pill Alliance, akin to high-ranking officials, and hold an extraordinary status within the Pill Alliance.
Currently, Fang Lin is in a somewhat awkward position within the Pill Alliance, having status and identity but, paradoxically, no real authority.
The Pill Alliance, belonging to all pill refiners under the heavens, is also a highly complex power, where having status and identity indeed earns respect, but what attracts more attention is authority.
