Zhou Heng completely lost track of time. All he did was consume medicine and refine it. The only change was that the herbs inside the Space Artifact were steadily decreasing.
Natural herbs, without Refinement, do not achieve optimal effects. Especially with Pills, where the combination is crucial. Refining several herbs together can yield effects far greater than the sum of individual herbs.
But refining them into Pills inevitably produces drug resistance, known as Pill Poison. The accumulation of Pill Poison in the body must be expelled over time, which requires a process.
Generally speaking, Pills that enhance Spiritual Power can typically only be consumed once a day. However, after reaching the Comet level, one need not worry about Pill Poison. The concern becomes how to obtain so many Pills!
For half a year, even a year, getting just one Pill might be improbable, so worrying about Pill Poison is absurd!
