"Su... Success?"
"My heavens, it actually succeeded! Three hours! He refined a nine-star pill in three hours!"
"Someone help hold me up, I'm dizzy! This Qin Shaofeng is too monstrous. He actually refined a nine-star pill in such a short time?"
"Eight-star! Eight-star! I dare say Qin Shaofeng's pill-refining level is absolutely at eight-star!"
"Does that even need saying? Though this is only a Nine-Revolutions Brute Force Pill, could an ordinary alchemist refine it at such speed? I'm starting to suspect Qin Shaofeng is a nine-star alchemist!"
"Nine-star is unlikely, but eight-star is definite!"
"..."
Too long?
That was what Qin Shaofeng thought, but in everyone else's eyes, the time had been far, far too short.
When other alchemists refined nine-star pills, who did not first inspect the medicinal ingredients a little, then spend several hours refining them after putting them into the pill furnace?
And that was only the refinement of the ingredients. When it came to purifying the medicinal liquid, ensuring there were no excess impurities within it took immense effort. Five or six hours was normal; if it took a little longer, even a full day was possible.
Then, when condensing the pill, another five or six hours were needed. This process required utmost care. Even the slightest error in condensation could cause a nine-star pill refinement to fail.
Even after the medicinal liquid had condensed into a pill, the final tempering step still required considerable time.
Because in theory, the longer the final tempering lasted, the higher the success rate of the finished pill.
If it was only tempered briefly, the pill could easily become unstable, ultimately resulting in a failed refinement.
Therefore, many alchemists would rather spend extra time than neglect the final tempering of a pill. Usually,
