Three Thousand Thunder Movement was by no means easy to master.
After an entire night of practice, Chen Mo had not even scratched the surface.
"Combat techniques really aren't any easier to cultivate than cultivation methods."
"Looks like I'll need at least two months just to reach the beginner level."
"I'll put the combat technique aside for now. The competition is drawing closer."
"It's about time I started refining pills."
He took out a ring-shaped Storage Soul Tool.
Previously, after passing the Soul Tool assessment, he had asked Jing Hongchen for Soul Tool materials.
He had also requested medicinal ingredients and Soul Beast blood essence for pill refinement.
Unlike the magical beasts of the Dou Qi Continent, the Soul Beasts of the Douluo Continent had no magic cores.
He could therefore only use Soul Beast blood essence as a substitute.
As for why he had waited so long before attempting his first pill refinement...
It was because, without a teacher to instruct him or demonstrate the process, he knew absolutely nothing about the basic principles of pill refinement.
So, throughout this time...
Chen Mo had carefully studied the many aspects of alchemy contained in the Eighth-Rank Alchemist's legacy he had obtained.
These included refining techniques, heat control, ingredient proportions, and so on.
Only after simulating the process countless times in his mind...
Did he finally dare to begin his very first attempt at pill refinement today.
"My first pill refinement should succeed... right?"
"Whatever. I won't know whether it'll work until I try."
After mentally preparing himself...
Chen Mo walked outside.
He found a quiet, deserted patch of open ground.
Then he set a large cauldron on the ground.
The cauldron was black, with a massive, sturdy body that looked incredibly heavy.
Lifelike flame totems were engraved across its surface.
