Xu Yang felt his head swell as a flood of information poured in. The properties of every herb used in Origin-Gathering Pills, along with every precaution required during refinement, became perfectly clear to him.
It was as though he had refined Origin-Gathering Pills hundreds of times, accumulating all manner of insights and experience.
[Origin-Gathering Pill (400/400)]
"Done!"
Xu Yang opened his eyes, his face filled with joy. After waiting so long, he had finally learned how to refine Origin-Gathering Pills.
From now on, he could refine his own pills for the astral qi realm without having to ask anyone for help.
Patiently, he practiced both the Mountain-Bearing Bear Canon and the Golden Astral Skill once. When dawn came, he headed straight for Azure Sun City at the foot of the mountain.

The great lineages controlled the pills used in the astral qi realm. The herbs needed to refine them probably would not be easy to purchase either.
Pills for the astral qi realm were scarce. Aside from the shortage of alchemists, another reason was probably the limited supply of medicinal ingredients.

He had seen tigerbone vine at the Black Market, but he had only ever encountered pure yang grass at a Myriad Treasures Pavilion auction.
Anything that made it into an auction was bound to be rare.
