From their conversation, it seemed that all these people knew how to refine pills.
"Eh, Shi Yue, what are you doing here?" A familiar voice sounded beside Shi Yue's ear.
Shi Yue followed the voice and saw Chen Ming there as well.
Shi Yue had never imagined that Chen Ming could refine pills too. Judging by the looks of it, Chen Ming was also an alchemy apprentice.
Taixu Sect was renowned throughout Great Tang for its alchemy. It divided cultivators who could refine pills into three ranks: alchemy apprentices, alchemists, and Alchemy Grandmasters.

Pills taken by Foundation Establishment Cultivators were made from several Spirit Herbs that were hundreds of years old. Chen Ming was only at the Ninth Level Qi Refining; he probably couldn't even gather the ingredients for a single batch of Foundation Establishment pills, let alone fire up the furnace and refine them.
