By this standard, Liu Yu had long since become capable of refining three kinds of second-tier pills.
Moreover, his success rate far exceeded thirty percent. He was a veteran alchemist in every sense.
Even if he were asked to refine the finest second-tier upper-grade pills, he was fairly confident he could achieve a thirty-percent success rate.
That put him within reach of becoming an alchemy master.
Why think so much about it? I don't rely on alchemy to make my way in the world. Being good enough for my needs is enough.
Shaking his head, Liu Yu smiled faintly, took out a jade bottle, and placed the seven Scarlet Origin Pills inside.
He then cleaned the impurities from the cauldron, lit the fire to preheat it again, and began refining the next batch of pills.
Barring failures midway through, each attempt to refine second-tier pills generally took about two hours.
As the Scarlet Origin Pill was a tier-two middle-grade pill, each batch took even longer than two hours once the time spent cleaning and preparing the cauldron was included.
By the time he had exhausted all ten portions of spirit herbs for refining Scarlet Origin Pills, nearly an entire day had passed.
Including the first successful batch, Liu Yu had successfully refined three batches of Scarlet Origin Pills, putting his success rate comfortably above thirty percent.

At this thought, Liu Yu felt a wave of relief.
The feeling of expanding his knowledge and strengthening himself was truly wonderful.
He rose, cleaned the Mystic Yellow Cauldron thoroughly inside and out, then put
