This time, Xiao Yang was going to refine a second-grade pill called the Body Strengthening Pill.
He had never even heard of this kind of pill before.
It was a pill recipe recorded in the Compendium of Grade 2 Pill Recipes rewarded by the system.
He guessed that this was very likely a pill unique to the system.
The ingredients for the Body Strengthening Pill were not actually difficult to find.
He had even obtained several of the main ingredient, second-order Earth Attribute Magical Cores, before.
The troublesome part was the final Magical Beast ingredient—the blood of a second-rank Magical Beast.
And it had to be blood from a second-rank Magical Beast that had died within the past three days.
That was why it could not be bought in Wutan City.
Even the Miter Auction House would have trouble transferring it from another city.
After all, who knew how many days it would take to ship this stuff from elsewhere?
And the mercenaries of Wutan City rarely sold the blood of second-rank Magical Beasts.
Even if they did, it would not be from one that had died within three days.
This time, he had happened to kill a second-rank Silver Moon Wolf King, so he could finally refine the Body Strengthening Pill.
He tossed the medicinal materials into the Medicine Cauldron one plant at a time.
The flames inside rapidly refined the medicinal materials.
However, it was his first time refining it, so he was still somewhat unskilled.
Moreover, the Body Strengthening Pill was not easy to refine.
Thus, Xiao Yang failed twice before finally refining a Body Strengthening Pill.
The moment he succeeded, the System Prompt Tone sounded in his mind.
