Although the Dingyuan Pill had extraordinary effects, it was rarely seen due to its low success rate in creation and the complicated and intricate methods of crafting it. Furthermore, one of the crucial ingredients necessary for its creation was extraordinarily rare.
Many Practitioners nowadays used Origin-locking Dan as a substitute for the Dingyuan Pill. Although its effectiveness was somewhat diminished in comparison, Origin-locking Dan was favored because it was easier to create, its required ingredients were common, and it had a higher success rate in creation, which made it quite popular among Practitioners.
However, if given the choice, all Practitioners would prefer the Dingyuan Pill. In terms of effectiveness, the Dingyuan Pill was far more powerful than the Origin-locking Dan.
