Author: Great Elder Ao Luo

Introduction:

Pill Refining is easy. By having a higher cultivation, better materials, and stable surroundings, one could easily refine at least a single pill from one portion of ingredients. But this doesn't mean the person that succeeds, a Pill Master. This Comprehension of Pill Refining piece of works shall explain and guide you, the reader of this piece of work to achieve a better success, understanding, and the depth of Pill Refining.

You may felt common, useless, and nothing interesting to read at first, but patience, understanding, and as the title says, [Comprehension], is important to fully unravel the depth of this piece of work, and opening a new vision in your Pill Refining.

===============================================

Chapter 1 - The Yin and Yang.

In this world we are living within, is divided into two different energy, which is Yin and Yang. The Yin and Yang could represent the specialty of a single difference, as well to describe a total opposite of another side of a coin, a gender, or even whether or fate.

The main Yin and Yang Courses are divided into Four Different Path.

The Appearance of Two Gender

In Pill Refining, Genders does play a major role in the success rate. Yin based body could achieve more successful refining in Yin based Pills, and similar to the opposite gender. But the strength of Opposite Force shall be clearly monitored, as there are a few differences in a human's body Innate Affiliation.

First Known Innate Affiliation is the Yin Body, or Yang Body, where it usually follows the gender from the moment they are conceived within the mother's womb. This type of body would allow one to master one side instead of the others unless specially trained with Yin or Yang technique. This type of Innate Affiliation person is extremely stable with their Yin or Yang condition.

The Second Known Innate Affiliation is Special Constitution. This is also being labeled as blessed beings. The Special Constitution allows one to be either Purely born with Pure Yin or Pure Yang body, which cannot accept to be involved with the opposite differences. Through this cause, some cultivators with such Innate Affiliation is labeled as a prodigy, as they could excel in many special ways.

The Third Known Innate Affiliation is what known to the public as Illness. Some unfortunate people are born with a certain specify illness, in an example, [Frozen Dragon Yin Constitution] or [Evaporating Drake Yang Body] will have difficulties in life such as failure of cultivating, or receiving an extreme backlash during cultivation.

One Special Innate Affiliation is not too well known to the world of Continent of Yan, but currently, nobody ever met with one before is the Dual Constitution. This kind of people is rarest among the human, with the ability to master both Yin and Yang path.

The Opposition of Light and Darkness

Perhaps this fact is not trusted by most of the Pill Masters, but one should not ignore the possibility of the Differences in Yin and Yang, does appear in conjunction with the Light and Darkness. Like how the Initial Base of Energy is differentiated, the fact of Being good or evil, Day and night, will greatly disrupt the success rate on each attempt on pill refining.

Some type of pill refining is not generally affected by this type of differences, for example, the [Cultivation Pellets]. This type of pellet is widely accepted as the Dual Constitution Pills, which could be assimilated and used by both sides. Some of the more likely known facts by most of the Pill Masters is pills such as [Tempering Pills] is mainly categorized as Light Pills, while those such as [Calming Spirit Dew Pellet] or [Mystic Suction Pellets] are known as Dark Pills for their strength in Yin Energy.

The Differences of Fluid and Firmness

When it comes to the Pill Refining Skills, even the most venerable master would be lost in this aspect. A pill doesn't carry the means of being Firm, and yet an Elixir doesn't carry the meaning of being Fluid. The element of Liquefied and Firmness always appears within every single life, but in the term of Pill Refining Technique, the differences would generate many special variants, more than all mind in the Continent of Yan could imagine.

Take the [Blood Dragon Ointment] as the general example. The ointment is produced by mixing the special cultivated [Rock Dragon Elderberry Plant] with other medicinal herbs that are perfect for the blood loss and wound healing. One of it's the best combination will be the [Blood Ginseng Root] and the [Ten-Years old Ginseng Powder] and lastly, the [Blood Fruit].

This combination, contain the mix of Juices from the Elderberry Plant and the Blood Fruit which could make the refined concoction become watery, thus a mixture of Ten-Years old Ginseng Powder and Blood Ginseng Root that contain a large amount of Root Starch, could help the mixture become an applicable Ointment balm. Since the creation of this [Blood Dragon Ointment] contain no other dangerous substances, even swallowing the ointment could help in recovering the blood loss and having internal injuries.

This also means the [Blood Dragon Ointment] is more to the Fluid element. For the next example, let's use the [Blood Refinement Pellet] as an example. Refined from the mixture of three different [Cultivation Beast Blood] and also [Blue Spirit Grass]. The three portion of blood, after refining, would still remain bloody with a hard to consume aftertaste, where it caused a huge commotion during the appearance of this pill.

It is only after some practitioner goes through a huge experiment in mixing the concoction with a different type of medicinal herb could the [Blood Refinement Pellet] came out in a hardened Firm pill. This is all thanks to the special attribute of the [Blue Spirit Grass] that contain a large amount of Gel attribute liquid within, which is suitable to remove the bloody flavor and smell within the concoction.

The Good and The Evil

You may not believe, but the differences of Good and Evil could result in the differences of Pills created. Attitude and mind are often believed to be the main reason how successful a refining process goes, but the differences of Good and Evil could further affect the results. One of the best example to be used in this explanation would be the [Calming Spirit Dew Pellet] and the [Poison Concoction].

Good is often believed to be Yang, while the Evil belonged to Yin. But the reality is harsh, where the fact of Good and Evil does not actually act like how it is believed to be. If one would clearly look at the YinYang Symbol, you would notice the White within the Dark and the Dark within the White. This represents the reality of Evil exists within the Good, and Good exist within the Evil.

This is why, the [Calming Spirit Dew Pellet], would be the best example to be used. The known benefits of consuming the Pill represent the Good, and while this pill success rate greatly increased during refining on Yin rich atmosphere, represents the Evil within the Yin. The similar example could be seen in the poison concoction as well, such as the [Yellow Heart Poison] or the [Destructing Qi Powder].

If one will notice, the [Destructing Qi Powder] carries the specialty of Firmness, while the [Yellow Heart Poison] carries the specialty of Fluid. Only through understanding the differences between the Yin and Yang this piece of work could be thoroughly understand and applied in future refining.

===============================================

Chapter 2 - The Five Major Element

Metal - Represents the meaning of Hardness in nature, Strength, and Quality. This element within Pill Refining would help greatly in the moment of Distribution, Refine, and Results.

Wood - Brings the meaning of Sturdiness and Calmness. This element not only assists a Pill Refining in obtaining the best value within each ingredient, it would instantly increase its value, thus helping in the moment of Tempering, Forming, and Value.

Water - Allows the essence to appears in the form of Stability and Temperament within. This element would only help when one is in their deepest thought, just to bring the knowledge and the understanding before the refining moment.

Fire - Yields the meaning of Purity, and Clearness. The flame brings the Pill Refining into the deeper meaning, bearing the moments of Purifying, Clarity, and Strengths.

Earth - Holds the meaning of Life, and Appearance. The Earth Element helps greatly in allowing the effect within a pill to appears, and carries it throughout its life until consumed. The Earth is the only element to carries the moment of [Humanity] within itself.

===============================================

Chapter 3 - Heaven and Earth Concoction

Pill Refining is said to be the blessing given by the Qian Kun, and the differences of this vary among all the concoctions. The most basic one is the well known Pill Masters (or Low-Grade Concoction Masters) due to their various ability in concocting different Pills for usage.

Medicinal Refining [Life Master / Death Master]

This is the most beginning of the Pill Refining masteries. Utilizing the specialty of each medicinal ingredient, refining results is always focusing on the factor of Life. But this doesn't mean the result always appears positive. The Life Master is usually used to refer those who focus in Healing Concoction, while Death Master is usually used on those focusing in Deadly Concoction.

Poison Refining [Beast Poison Master / Medicinal Poison Master / Dark Poison Master]

When one heard about poison, it is all about evil, death, and genocide. But when it comes to the understanding of a Pill Refining Masteries, the Poison came in various of type and usage. This profession's master is not all well known, but it is known to be three type, Beast Poison Master who excel in concocting Beast Threatening Concoction, Medicinal Poison Master, who excel in Human Health concoction, and lastly, the Dark Poison Master that is the horror of people because of the Human Threatening Concoctions.

Tempering Refining [Elemental Tempering Master / Cultivation Tempering Master]

Tempering is only of the most usual discussion among the cultivators, but what is the depth within the tempering refining? Within the whole Lower Yan Continent, less than 100 Tempering Masters could be seen, because each of them is the treasures among the treasures, and even the Brilliant Jade Kingdom, only possessed one Tempering Master. Only two different paths are known currently, which is the Elemental Tempering Master, who specialized in different Tempering Elemental Pills, and the Cultivation Tempering Master, who specialized in concocting special pills to temper the blood, body, and even cultivation of a cultivator.

Cultivation Refining [Cultivation Master]

Believe it or not, this cultivation path is one of the hardest paths compare to all. Cultivation is the life of everyone within the Continent of Yan, which is why there is an abundant amount of Pill Masters walk into this path. But with the rate of only 1% success among the crowd, the Cultivation Refining remain difficult to all the other masters. Rumors only sometimes heard among the people within the same path, and this path remains hazy with their concoctions.

Qian Kun Refining [Legend Master]

The Qian Kun Refining only appeared within the Continent of Yan twice. First is when the legendary Pill [Golden Jade Holy Pill] appeared in the world. The Second is a special treasure, two drops of the [Shennong Moon Dew]. Although the Qian Kun Refining only was known by people from Legends, with the treasure making the appearance of the human world, it should be true.

===============================================

Final Chapter - Comprehension

And this path is walked by you and yourself. There will be nobody to comment on the path you will be going onwards because they have no qualification to judge your choice.

Understand what you are looking in the future, and understand your path, while you thread along the way. Your only results will only appear, when the refining you did before, managed to shows its results.
