Having learned the medicinal properties of the Grade V Chaotic Yuan Pill, and with Shen Mo's attainments in the Alchemy Path, he could deduce most of the spiritual medicines required to refine this pill.
Of course, alchemy was not merely a matter of piling all the spiritual medicines together.
The proportions of raw materials, the order of smelting and refining, the critical heat for extracting the essence, the timing of pill condensation, refining techniques, and so forth, all required profound research. A slight error in any step could lead to a result that was off by a thousand miles.
After gathering all the spiritual medicines, Shen Mo would still have to undergo numerous trials, modifications, and refinements. He might even have to discard the initially chosen types of raw materials and reformulate his plans entirely.
