Xiao Yun/Alchemy


 * In order to refine pills, one had to first understand the properties of medicinal ingredients, then learn to control flames. Following that, they had to be able to refine the essence of those ingredients while removing the impurities and unnecessary parts. This seemed quite simple, but the further one progressed, the more profound they realized the way of pill refining was.
 * Even a slight change in the control of flames could affect the effectiveness of the pills, and even the difference in age of the ingredients could reduce the quality of the pills. On the other hand, using rare and valuable ingredients would be able to raise the quality of the pills and produce unexpected results.
 * Medicinal pills were split into 9 Grades, and every Grade had different levels of effects.
 * A Grade 9 medicinal pill would be able to help someone with mediocre talent at the complete stage of the Innate realm immediately break through to the True Essence realm.
