Over these past days, he had found several fourth-grade pills with the ability to restore Origin Essence among those he had refined. Although their grades were low and their effects on his damaged Origin Essence were barely better than nothing, those small gains had accumulated, restoring roughly twenty to thirty percent of the Origin Essence in his three great dantians.
But that was far from enough.
His Origin Essence remained depleted, and he could barely muster sixty to seventy percent of his peak combat strength.
If he encountered danger in this state, even protecting himself would likely prove difficult.
He still had some of the fifth-grade spirit herbs required to refine the Six Harmonies Origin Restoration Pill in his reserves, but not many—only enough for two attempts.
If he failed, he truly would have no more chances.
Li Bufan steadied himself, took the spirit herbs needed for the Six Harmonies Origin Restoration Pill from his Storage Ring, and arranged them in order on the ground before him.
He would wait until he had returned to his best condition before beginning this crucial batch of pills.
Li Bufan sat cross-legged on the pitch-black stone ground, with six fifth-grade spirit herbs of different shapes laid out before him.
They lay quietly in their Jade Boxes, each gleaming with its own distinctive luster beneath the five-colored light at his fingertip.
Li Bufan did not rush to begin. He closed his eyes and silently recited the recipe for the Six Harmonies Origin Restoration Pill several times.
The Six Harmonies Origin Restoration Pill took its name from the refining process, which required the medicinal properties of six spirit herbs to be combined one by one through the method of six harmonies. Every stage of fusion demanded exceedingly precise control over both heat and medicinal power.
