The process of Refining Pills was nothing much to talk about. It all followed a set procedure. To ensure a pill's success rate, one needed extensive practice and large quantities of Medicinal Materials.
Chen Mo was naturally fortunate in this regard, because he had the Universe Bead, which could produce vast amounts of Medicinal Materials for him to practice with.
After several rounds of refinement and wasting some Medicinal Materials, Chen Mo had more or less mastered the method for refining the Purity Breaking Pill. Since this was not a particularly high-grade pill, anyone with Foundation Establishment Realm strength could successfully refine it. As for the difference in strength, it only affected the success rate. The stronger one was, the more pills one could refine; the weaker one was, the fewer one could refine. That was all.
Chen Mo already possessed a fire-affinity constitution, and his cultivation had reached the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Naturally, on his first attempt, he refined two Purity Breaking Pills.
However, successfully refining a pill did not mean the pill would be of good quality. During the refining process, factors such as the selection of Medicinal Materials and the alchemist's techniques determined the quality of the pill.
Naturally, pills refined by skilled alchemists were of better quality, and could even reach perfect quality.
The quality of a pill was mainly judged by its Pill Halo. The more distinct the Pill Halo, the better the pill's quality. The less distinct it was, or if there was no Pill Halo at all, the poorer the pill's quality.
Every medicine carried some toxicity, and that made sense. No matter what kind of Herbal Medicine was used, refinement essentially combined its medicinal properties and removed its toxins. The lower the quality of a pill, the stronger
