"This is good; you have mastered the Ancient Alchemy Secret Technique even more, Ying'er." Xia Tian observed the tens of pills in his hand. "Even the three-quarters of the pills you just concocted are of superior grade."
"But I haven't been able to concoct all of them into a superior grade, Tian." Liu Ying pouted her lips.
Xia Tian chuckled at his mother's behavior; he then rubbed her cheeks and comforted her. "It's okay, you don't need to feel discouraged. Your progress in alchemy is already very fast, and I believe that sooner or later you will always be able to concoct superior-grade pills with ease."
"How long will you stay at home this time, Tian?"
"Hmm? I'll stay at home until the inter-sect competition starts, and I'll participate in that competition first, then I'll come back here again."
"Oh? Do you want to take part in alchemy? I thought you weren't interested in that." Liu Ying said it with surprise.
