Jiang Chen hadn't expected his first attempt at refining a Third-Grade Elixir to end in failure.
He waved a hand, clearing the black smoke from the sealed chamber, and fell into deep thought.
'Looks like my technique has gotten a little rusty. I need to keep practicing.'
'Hopefully, the second attempt will be a success.'
Jiang Chen noted where he had gone wrong. He carefully re-evaluated the entire process, mentally perfecting every detail to avoid any more mistakes.
Only then did he begin his second attempt.
Alchemy was a craft that demanded extreme attention to detail.
On his second try, Jiang Chen was even more meticulous.
He executed every detail to perfection.
'This is the final step, the moment of truth.'
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed. He was nearing the final stage of pill formation.
