"This puppet doesn't have any name but it was specifically made at His Majesty's request. Our great Emperor did not want anyone to be injured while testing these pills, so he ordered high-ranking weapon refiners to develop this special treasure. This puppet is used to efficiently test the effectiveness of pills below Tier 6 grades."
In the eyes of the common people of the Feng Empire, Wuhan's actions made them admire him even more.
"Long Live the Emperor!!"
"Emperor Is Heart of the Feng Empire!"
"Please take me as your concubine Emperor!"
Zhang San smiled calmly as he continued explaining the details of the puppet.
Supervisor Zhang Yi placed the puppet on the ground and allowed it to swallow the pill whole. Once the puppet swallowed the pill, it trembled and showed signs of light emitting from its body.
"This puppet is an exact replica of an average cultivator you may know of."
"After the pill enters its mouth, it affects the puppet as it would affect any normal cultivator."
Under the shocked eyes of the audience, the puppet trembled, and the pill started to take its effect. The stone at the center of the puppet's chest shone, and everyone could feel the aura of a cultivator coming off the puppet.
"First level of the Core Formation realm!" Zhang Ming Yong muttered to herself, feeling the aura of the puppet.
Not just her but some of the people who were powerful enough could sense it as well.
*Boom!*
Suddenly, the aura of the puppet shook, showing signs of instability and breakthrough.
"Is it going to break through…?"
"What kind of commotion will the puppet cause?"
While the people wondered that, the aura of the puppet kept on rising high. But then suddenly, the qi pressure in the area vanished along with the glow from the puppet. Everything returned to normal as if nothing had happened.
"What happened?"
"… Did it fail?"
"What's going on?!"
People were shocked to see such a scene before their eyes and looked at the supervisors in confusion.
Zhang Ying's eyes also shook in panic as she thought the pill she created had failed, but then she thought there might be something wrong with the puppet itself.
"Calm down everyone!" Just as she was about to lash out at the supervisor for cheating her, Zhang Er spoke up using his qi-enhanced voice to calm everyone down in the area.

"Watch carefully…" Without saying anything more, along with his brother, the supervisor also turned to look at the puppet.
Although suspicious, Zhang Ying and her supporters looked towards the puppet.
'What's happening?' she thought in her heart as the area just below the chest of the puppet started to glow.
After the glow receded, a set of words appeared on the puppet.

[ Starting to collect data from the pill ]

"Even though the puppet is a perfect copy of the human body, it is still a non-living puppet in the end. Which is why, it cannot break through like a normal human being."
"But despite this flaw, we found a way to make the puppet use the effects of the pills to the best of its abilities like a normal cultivator."
With a broad smile on his face, Zhang Yi rose through the air a little and spoke with confidence and authority.
His words echoed through the silent arena, the effects of the puppet evident to all.
"This emperor is really something." Hong Mei clenched her hands into fists as she bit her cherry-red lips under the cloak. Others might not be much affected by the puppet, but this puppet was bad news for their sect. This puppet was practically an unkillable pill servant they could test their pills on without fail.
This would not only eliminate the need to capture humans for testing their pills but also give them better results than they could get from weak and frail humans. The more she thought about it, the more she felt threatened by a mere puppet.
"As you all can see, the results of the inspection are here. The pill is indeed the Heavenly Yuan Pill of the Alchemy Pavilion."
Zhang Yi continued, allowing the audience to see the results of the test.
The young woman from the Alchemy Pavilion looked at the puppet with narrowed eyes but in the end, let out a sigh of relief.
'Was I thinking too much?' she thought. Out of instinct, she looked at Noah, trying to see what kind of reaction he would have seen the pill she made—the pill that was coveted by most of the forces of the Feng Empire.
To her shock, Noah's expression did not change from the start. The small smile on his face started to make her feel like he was mocking her. The unfocused look in his eyes made her even more furious.
Gritting her teeth, she thought in anger, 'This guy is looking down on me!!'
The more she looked at him, the angrier she got.
"Now that this is done, we will move on to the next pill." Just then, a heavy voice caught her attention, causing her to move her gaze back to the supervisors.
The balance scale was back before Zhang Yi's eyes. He had already placed the pill in one of the plates before the aura could even leave the pill. He did not want to cause another commotion like the one that happened when he tested the previous pill.
Following a similar process as he did with Zhang Ying, the old man placed weights on the plate one by one.

[50]
Even when the weight reached 50, the needle did not show any signs of reaching back to the central position.
Zhang Ying's face turned cold as she compared the position of the needle at the same weight when her pill was being tested.

*Crack!*
The sounds of bone cracking came from her hands as she saw the purity of the pill surpassing hers.
