Whether in terms of experience, perspective, or technique, he was far beyond any ordinary alchemist, especially with the aid of his talent and a decade of unremitting refinement.
Having some insights and realizations about refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, Zhao Sheng was fairly confident in achieving his goal. He wouldn't dare claim a 100% success rate, but he could still guarantee a probability of 10-20%.
Zhao Sheng was well aware that this success rate was sufficient for him.
Since there was no rush and plenty of time, Zhao Sheng didn't start the alchemy immediately. Instead, he took out the Jade Scroll for the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe, and repeatedly reviewed the elixir recipe, refining techniques, and alchemical steps.
After he knew them by heart, he refined several batches of Water Spirit Pills to get used to the feel and ensure that no errors would occur during the alchemy because of unfamiliarity.
