Wan Li, Zhou Mei, and Fan Ruogang all walked out of the barrier and went into the arena. Inside was a section separated entirely for pill-making.
It was a similar place to the artifact-making section, and thus had small openings on the ground from where the fire was constantly burning.
They walked up to their place and were given an empty storage bag. They were made to keep the pill's ingredients in the storage bag and give all their storage bags away except the one they had provided.
Everyone took their one storage bag and walked up to a random seating area. Not a single one of them was provided a pill cauldron as at this level they were all expected to have one of their own.
All 3 of the disciples took out their own pill cauldrons as expected. It was hard to tell a cauldron's grade just from looking at the visual information, but each of them at the very least held a Common Heaven grade cauldron.
