"What?! Was my name among the disciples who were supposed to receive a pill? Are you sure they mentioned me?" An elite disciple exclaimed in disbelief. He was a level five saint, and it had been ages since he last received a pill. The last pill he got was a fourth-grade low-rank pill, which was not very effective at his current level unless he was given a substantial number.
However, obtaining such lower-grade pills was a challenge in itself. Fourth-grade low-rank pills were typically reserved for disciples who were level one and level two saints. They were able to utilize such pills better because they could get the most out of the effects.
Over the years, a dearth of fourth-grade medium-rank pills had caused many disciples to remain saints at levels four, five, and six. It was always a protracted endeavor to make breakthroughs without access to suitable pills, and those disciples had to endure slow progress.
The disciple's eyes lit up. "Haha, Elder Severin must have provided some pills to the Great Elder. The only question now is whether they are fourth-grade medium-rank pills."
The female disciple who had delivered this news smiled at him. "You might be in for a treat then. Word is that you're being summoned to receive a fourth-grade medium-rank pill. You should hurry up and get going! This is an opportunity all of us wish we had. I still need to inform my other seniors about this, so goodbye for now!" she said before turning to leave.
The man's eyes filled with excitement when he heard that. "Am I really going to get a fourth-grade medium-rank pill? That might just allow me to reach level six saint! I've been looking forward to this for a long time! I remember being a little behind on the waiting list, so I'm lucky they decided to choose me! "
He immediately took flight and headed to the meeting point to collect the pills. Before he arrived, a nagging suspicion soon began to surface. He recalled having inquired with Felipe not long ago and was told that he had to continue waiting because there were 300 people ahead of him. It was even more puzzling that he would receive a fourth-grade medium-rank pill and not a fourth-grade low-rank one.
