It was not as though pills capable of absorbing the medicinal potency of spiritual herbs did not exist.
It was simply that Old Man Ji, Candle Demon Venerable, Venerable Tian Yan, and the others were unfamiliar with them. After all, they were not Sub-Profession practitioners and did not know much about such matters.
This was, after all, one of the secrets within the Sub-Professions.

After all, if they refined a pill capable of absorbing the medicinal potency of spiritual herbs, they would barely have time to hide it. Why would they tell others?

"When a pill's medicinal potency reaches ten-tenths and it attains a flawless, perfect state without the slightest defect, that means it can convert energy perfectly."
"Thus, after absorbing the medicinal potency of spiritual herbs, it can refine it and ultimately turn it into the energy the pill requires."
"And this also requires considerable intelligence to control and drive it, much like a martial artist's cultivation."
Old Man Ji, Candle Demon Venerable, Venerable Tian Yan, and the others fell silent for a long while
