Kael sat in the valley's edge, Spirit Eyes still active, cataloguing every herb within range. The information flooded his mind—properties, interactions, refinement requirements, potential combinations. A month's worth of alchemical research condensed into minutes.
"System. Show me a recipe for a body refining pill using the herbs available here."
The System responded with a list. Seven recipes appeared in his vision, ranging from Mortal to King Grade, each with different ingredient ratios and refinement difficulties.
Then one highlighted itself.
Body Essence Pill (King Grade)Description: A revolutionary body refinement pill that combines multiple body refinement herbs into a single breakthrough catalyst. Rather than tempering the body gradually, the Body Essence Pill forces a sudden, violent restructuring of bone, muscle, and meridian tissue. Painful but extremely efficient. Can push through body refinement bottlenecks that would normally require months of conventional training.
