"To replicate this Spirit Rice Pill, our Danfa Sect, together with True Monarch Huodan and twelve Tier 3 alchemists, spent a full half-year of research before finally succeeding.
Being of humble ability, I happen to have some personal friendship with one of the participating alchemists, which is how I learned a few inside details.
At first, the Spirit Rice Pill we replicated only had fifty percent of the original efficacy. Later, through continuous improvements, we reached just under eighty percent. To improve it further would take no small amount of time and effort."
