To be honest, a thirty percent chance is quite substantial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan glanced at his remaining contribution points, which were close to 2 million.

So I plan to give it a try. It seems more economical to refine them myself than to buy them from the guild.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s definitely more economical.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wei hesitated for a moment and then said, \"But that’s only if you can successfully refine them. To be honest, a few years ago, when our branch had more members, someone tried refining Qi Blood Pills. The money was spent like water, and finally, even when a batch of Qi Blood Pills were successfully refined, it turned out to be less cost-effective than buying directly from the guild.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words obviously contained a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of the better outcomes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though that person incurred losses, his talent was recognized by the headquarters, and he was brought there for training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s said that over the years, he has been able to refine high-grade Qi Blood Pills, with the headquarters getting nearly half of their supply from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many others who attempted to refine Qi Blood Pills were lost to obscurity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, they obediently went to hunt Fierce Beasts for contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s okay, President. I just want to give it a try. A batch of herbs only costs 20,000 contribution points. Even if I fail, it’s not that big a deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wei nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two mere thousand yuan was nothing for Chen Fan, who hunted a high-level Fierce Beast like it was child’s play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Brother Chen, you can use the alchemy room anytime you want. We don’t have many members, and no one else refines pills, so there won’t be any competition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, President.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan said gratefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said, the guild provided substantial resource support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the alchemy room, just having so many herbs available was already difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Brother Chen...\" Sun Wei hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan asked curiously, \"Is there something you want to tell me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it’s about the group chat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wei finally decided, \"Don’t take what they said to heart; they don’t know the situation and act based on their own assumptions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What group chat, and what did they say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wei was momentarily dazed, then suddenly realized that Chen Fan might not have seen the group chat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing, nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hastily brushed it off with a laugh, \"Brother Chen, it’s great that you want to refine pills.
