The sky above Channel City was filled with dark clouds.
The entire Channel Mountain was enveloped in a solemn atmosphere.
The plaza in front of the main hall was crowded with people.
Two groups of people sat opposite each other. One group was led by the dean of the academy. Grandmaster Yun Cang and the other elders sat behind him, while further behind them were the academy disciples and pill-makers that were affiliated with the academy.
The other group consisted of only about twenty people. The leader was an old man in a five-dragon embroidered robe. His face was thin, and his expression was cold and stern.
Behind him sat four-dragon and three-dragon pill-makers. They had stern expressions on their faces.
In the middle of the two groups, two four-dragon pill makers sat opposite each other. Each of them was making a pill with their respective cauldrons.
