Back in the Dalamu Sect, Roan began his practice with Alchemy. There are two ways to make pills in this world, Neutral and Elemental concoctions. The first one is obvious, Neutral Pills that one has no need to care about the user's elemental affinity. The other is Elemental Pills. Each cultivation technique is based on the cultivator's elemental affinity. As a cultivator's realm improves, he gets more and more attached to that specific element. Obviously, elemental pills have to be compatible with them.
Neutral pills are the most sold ones by alchemists all around. After all, they are easier to be made. However, their effects are not as good as the ones made for the specific elements.
The problem is that pills made for a specific element usually needs many more materials compatible with it. As for neutral neutral pills, such a limitation is not applied. Of course, what Roan needed was not neutral pills, but elemental ones.
