Shen Haoran was trapped in his Heart Demon, while the other alchemists remained focused on refining their elixirs. They had no time to spare for him, as only three days were left until the end of the Pill Emperor competition. Besides, even if they had the time, there was nothing they could do to help. This was a Heart Demon—Shen Haoran's personal Heart Demon.
Time ticked by. One day passed, and Shen Haoran had yet to awaken. Two days passed, and Shen Haoran still had not awakened. Now, only a single day remained before the end of the third round of the Pill Emperor competition. By this point, most of the contestants had finished refining their elixirs, and a dense Pill Fragrance wafted constantly across the plaza.
