Kai was too shocked to speak. If Old Lao was speaking the truth, Kai could now consider himself a Master-Alchemist. He looked down at the pill in his hand, giving off a faint and almost unrecognizable aura of Qi.

"I've made hundreds of batches but only got such a result once. Is that all it takes to become a Master-Alchemist?". Kai asked skeptically.

"Yes...well, I'm not too versed in alchemy, but this is quite well known. Being able to create it once is proof that one has reached the Master level". Old Lao said reassuringly.

Kai was still skeptical. After All, how would he even prove the pills were made by him?. In the end, he decided to not let this go to his head and instead put the pill away.

"Anyway, I'll go meet Mr. Song now. You guys go back to what you were doing", Kai said as he got off the couch and headed out of the house. He didn't have much time and wanted to ask Mr. Song about the benefits of being a Master-Alchemist.
