Bab 1904: Giving up?

There was another person filled with confidence, and that was Ou Kan.

He did not have any essence, or any plant-aligned divided soul, but his skill in alchemy was indeed the most outstanding of all the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters.

Though they were similarly Two-Star Alchemists, and similarly could only reach Second Refinement, the grade of his completed pill could reach High Grade, surpassing the starting point of Medium Grade and Low Grade of the others, and in terms of Spirit Refinement, his standard of First Refinement had gained the praise of all alchemists.

…Every round of Spirit Refinement was extremely important. It did not mean that Second Refinement was more important just because it was harder than First Refinement.
