In China's present-day martial world, aside from the hidden families, there were still quite a few Martial Families with considerable strength.
This was the information Qin Shaofeng had obtained from Li Shangtian's mind.
There were even no fewer than twenty Martial Kings known to Li Shangtian alone.
Qin Shaofeng finally understood that even without counting the hidden families, China's martial world was anything but simple.
This forced Qin Shaofeng to speed things up.

Before long, Qin Shaofeng returned to Nine Spirit Palace once more and began refining the spiritual herbs Liu Ya had strengthened with the palace's spiritual qi into Ninefold Spirit Pills.

On average, one hundred low-grade spiritual herbs could be refined into one One-Star Ninefold Spirit Pill.
However, when refining Two-Star Ninefold Spirit Pills, a single pill did not require one hundred mid-grade spiritual herbs.
One hundred mid-grade spiritual herbs could fully refine ten Two-Star Ninefold Spirit Pills. In other words, ten mid-grade spiritual herbs could produce one Two-Star Ninefold Spirit Pill.
In truth, those ten thousand-odd low-grade spiritual herbs from before had only barely crossed the threshold of low-grade spiritual herbs, and most had been force-grown with spiritual qi.
