The Pill World's fourth trial was finally different from the first three.
The difference was not in the examination questions, but in the direction of the assessment.
The first three trials tested a Pill Refiner's foundational skills. Every detail was included, from medicinal ingredients and pill theory to pill-refining techniques.
In summary, they all involved creating Pill Recipes from scratch.
Creating a Pill Recipe from scratch was something only a Grandmaster or someone with extraordinary talent could accomplish.
For an ordinary Pill Refiner, merely passing the first three trials would take who knew how many years.
Luo Chen reckoned that even with his solid foundation, if he had lacked the system's help in screening and reviewing, and relied solely on his own deductions and trial and error, it would have taken far more than six or seven years.
Whether it was the Spirit Root Pill Formula or the Demon Soul Pill Formula, each was something that would take an ordinary Pill Refiner decades or even centuries to deduce. Some might never derive them in their entire lives.
He had taken a shortcut. Only because of that had he arrived at the fourth trial ahead of the Sea Corner Heavenly Mother.
He had not expected the fourth trial to be even "simpler" than he had imagined!
"Is it testing Pill Refinement Art?"
Luo Chen chuckled softly, feeling increasingly relaxed.
It had to be said that, with his cheat, the Pill World's assessment was as smooth as walking on level ground!
The first three trials might have caused him enormous trouble because he had to create Pill Recipes from scratch. But this fourth trial, which was clearly more difficult, was nothing to him.
With a specific Pill Recipe, even if it was a Tier 4 Pill, he could easily reach Entry Level
