His master had once said that his Alchemy Talent was excellent, second only to the Sect Leader within the entire sect. No matter how vast the gap between first and second, second was still second.
Besides, as number two, his talent far surpassed that of number three.
But it was still incredibly difficult for him to obtain a Golden Core Pill!
The sect bestowed Golden Core Pills based on talent. In the Celestial Cloud Sect, however, the least valued talents were Alchemy Talent and Artifact Refining Talent, and this was directly related to the Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader's talent in both Alchemy and Artifact Refining was far too high. He handled the refining for all the sect's Third Tier pills and crucial Second Tier pills. As a result, the sect didn't actually have a high demand for talented Alchemy Masters.
