It took Kent an hour and 15 minutes to extract the essence.
That was a bit longer than he expected.
However, since he wouldn't be burning impurities, considering he had achieved perfect extraction, he went ahead and, within 10 minutes, condensed the pill.
That was much faster than he anticipated.
Once these steps were out of the way, he moved ahead to the main event, which had to do with refining the Azure Pill Ring.
For that, he already had the [Nine-step pill ring refinement] technique. It is the best in the game, considering it was invented by the legendary Kevin Sage, so he tapped into that and started working his way up.
Basically, he would have to divide the essence for the Pill ring into 9 parts, refine each separately, and then merge them to form the Azure Pill Ring.
Technically, it was impossible. So, with what he had achieved in the past weeks alone, Kent knew he was on the right track. H wasted no time and started the refinement.
