"Alchemy: You excel at successfully refining the pills in a prescription. Special Effect—Single-Minded: When refining pills, your success rate increases by thirty percent."
This ability had no further evolution branches, but the special effect gained directly made Lin Hui feel that the two Spirit-Gathering Grass stalks had not been wasted.
The instant he opened the skill, a flood of memories of himself refining pills surged into his mind.
Countless minor details, tricks, precautions, and exacting requirements concerning pill refinement took root in his mind, rapidly spreading and perfecting themselves.

Lin Hongyu had supposedly entered the Chen Family Main Clan
