She ignored the pill-refining furnace and sat cross-legged at the side to cultivate.
Refining medicine required a significant amount of Original Soul energy. Hence, average medicine refiners could only refine two batches of medicinal pills per day. Given that there were usually three to seven pills per furnace, they could refine no more than 14 pills per day.
Those who worked hard would refine three furnaces of medicinal pills per day. They could not, however, refine at this rate very frequently because they could not afford to spend so much time on it.
However, it would be inaccurate to say that medicine refinement was time-consuming.
It took less than an hour to refine medicinal pills. The time required to refine a furnace of medicinal pills, particularly those of the junior and intermediate levels, was extremely short.
However, they had to recover their Original Soul energy after medicine refinement. This was the time-consuming part.
