Ling Tian had finally refined perfect Peiyuan Pills, and he was so excited he could barely contain himself. But Poqiong couldn't resist bringing him down a peg. Ling Tian didn't care in the slightest and confidently declared that he could refine other kinds of pills, too. He wasn't just blindly overconfident. He had already mastered the most important parts of pill refining—controlling the heat and nurturing the pills—and he had a complete manual covering the steps involved. It wasn't all that difficult.
Poqiong knew Ling Tian wasn't wrong, but he still stubbornly insisted that Ling Tian try refining other kinds of pills to test his skills.

"Peiyuan Pills are fourth-grade pills. With my current skill, I should be able to refine fifth-grade pills." Ling Tian muttered to himself, his brow faintly furrowed. "But what kind should I make? There are many kinds of fifth-grade pills: some replenish spiritual energy, some heal injuries, and others aid in battle.

After thinking it over, Ling Tian understood. Once
