Chapter 202: Tyrant

Lu Yu had a strong feeling that this nameless Cultivation Method would continuously evolve as the number of martial arts he learned increased.

It could currently increase his strength by five times, and perhaps in the future, it could increase it by ten, or even a hundred times! Such a possibility absolutely existed.

A smile appeared on the corners of Lu Yu's mouth unconsciously.

Looking at the four characters "Nameless Martial Skill," he frowned slightly, his thoughts shifted, and he changed it to two characters—"Tyrant."

That's right, this martial skill was now called "Tyrant," concise and clear, yet without losing its domineering aura.

"With my current Mental Attribute, I should be able to meet the activation conditions, but my force might still be insufficient," Lu Yu pondered to himself.

According to his previous calculations of force consumption, he could currently only activate fifty percent of the effect, meaning the power was halved.

If he wanted to fully activate it, he would either have to strengthen his body once or find another way to recover his force.

"Perhaps when I step into the Vein Refining Realm and have sufficient True Qi in my body, I will be able to activate it all at once." Thinking of this, Lu Yu nodded, looking at this martial skill with great satisfaction.

Such a powerful martial skill, if taken to the Headquarters to be sold, would surely earn tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of Contribution Points, right?

"No."

Lu Yu quickly shook his head. This martial skill was his trump card at this stage; handing it over for a mere ten million Contribution Points would be a real loss.

If he really were to take it out to teach everyone, he would at least have to wait until the martial skill's amplification reached ten times; then he could take this five-times-amplification version out to sell, treating it as giving back to the Association.

Taking it out now was truly too early.

"I still have nearly ten leg technique Secret Manuals on hand, but my Basic Leg Technique is currently not unlocked; if I learn them now, it will consume too much Experience Value. I'll find a Training Room later and practice the Basic Leg Technique first. Before that..." Lu Yu cast his gaze toward the Skill column.

【Blood Qi Pill Alchemy: Not Even a Clue】

Since this Alchemy could be recorded by the system, it could certainly be improved by consuming Experience Value.

Lu Yu decided to first raise this Alchemy to the maximum level.

"I wonder how much Experience Value it will take?" Lu Yu felt a bit uneasy inside.

After all, everyone knew that alchemy was a technical job, and its difficulty was likely even higher than equivalent martial arts.

One could see the clue from the fact that the Association had spent many years and still hadn't been able to research the refining method for the Top-grade Blood Qi Pill.

Following his usual practice, Lu Yu first spent one point of Experience Value to test it out.

Under his nervous gaze, the proficiency of the Alchemy actually only rose by one percent.

"Ah?" Lu Yu opened his mouth wide in surprise.

This wasn't a joke, right? The proficiency only rose by one percent? Wouldn't that mean it would take one hundred points of Experience Value just for Entry?

"This is too much, isn't it?" Lu Yu felt a pang of heartache.

It wasn't that he felt bad about the one hundred points of Experience Value themselves, but rather that from this point, he could infer that since it cost so much Experience just for Entry, the subsequent improvements would likely be even more astonishing.

"Forget it, I already spent three million Contribution Points to buy it." Lu Yu gritted his teeth and added the remaining ninety-nine points of Experience Value all at once.

In an instant, a white light flashed through his mind, and a brand-new memory emerged before his eyes.

This memory contained a massive amount of information, covering every aspect from the types and habits of various medicinal herbs to production techniques, heat control, and so on.

Lu Yu couldn't help but gasp. With so much content, it would probably be difficult to master it thoroughly and use it skillfully without three to five years of time.

The key was that identifying medicinal herbs was only the most basic step; this was like a mouse pulling a wooden box—the heavy lifting was still to come.

The difficult point of alchemy lay in the word "refining." The entire process was not only complex in procedure, but every step was crucial; the slightest mistake could result in failing to produce a Pill or seriously affecting the quality of the Pill.

"Right, let's see what characteristics were unlocked." Lu Yu hurriedly looked at the Skill column.

【Blood Qi Pill Alchemy: Entry, Characteristic: Pill Formation Level 1, Low Grade】

【Pill Formation: For every level increased, the success rate of Pill formation increases by twenty percent】

"Pill formation success rate?" Lu Yu's eyes lit up.

It already had a twenty percent success rate just at Entry, so if he reached the Consummation Realm, wouldn't it reach exactly one hundred percent?

Next, he looked at the second characteristic.

【Low Grade: For the Pills refined, there is a ninety percent probability of them being Low Grade Pills, and a ten percent probability of them being Middle Grade or higher quality Pills】

"Ninety percent probability of being Low Grade Pills? Ten percent for Middle Grade and above?" Lu Yu showed a surprised expression.

He had originally thought that the "Low Grade" characteristic meant that all the Pills refined would be Low Grade.

Thinking about it carefully, this was also reasonable; after all, it was a matter of probability.

Some novice Alchemists occasionally having good luck and refining a Middle Grade Pill was not impossible, and it was even possible to refine a High Grade Pill!

Of course, such a situation would definitely be a massive burst of luck; perhaps it would be more appropriate to go buy a lottery ticket, if there were lottery tickets to buy in the current city.

"Hmm..."

Lu Yu pondered for a moment. Usually, an ordinary Alchemy Furnace could refine ten Pills in one batch. If he were to refine them now, he could probably successfully refine two, and the quality would most likely be Low Grade.

For the level of Entry, this was considered normal.

Lu Yu smiled slightly and added another point of Experience Value.

He wanted to see if the quality of the Pills would change after reaching the Minor Accomplishment realm.

However, the next second, his eyeballs almost popped out.

Because the proficiency of the Alchemy only rose by one five-hundredth! In other words, to reach the Minor Accomplishment realm, it actually required 500 points of Experience Value!

"This is too much." Lu Yu muttered to himself. He glanced at the remaining Experience Value; there were still 6,500 points. Could it be that he wouldn't be able to max it out even after adding them all?

After hesitating for a moment, he still hardened his heart and added the remaining 499 points of Experience Value.

In an instant, the memory in his mind became much richer. Compared to the previous memory, many errors had been corrected.

Lu Yu hurriedly looked at the Skill column.

【Blood Qi Pill Alchemy: Minor Accomplishment, Characteristic: Pill Formation Level 2, Middle-Low Grade】

"Middle-Low Grade?" Lu Yu felt a surge of joy. Could it be that the probability of Middle Grade Pills appearing had increased?

【Middle-Low Grade: For the Pills refined, there is a thirty percent probability of Middle Grade appearing, a sixty percent probability of Low Grade appearing, and a ten percent probability of High Grade or higher quality Pills appearing】

"It seems pretty good, doesn't it?" Lu Yu pondered in his heart.

Don't look at the fact that there is only a thirty percent chance of producing Middle Grade, in reality, if you count the potentially appearing High Grade Pill, the chance is equivalent to forty percent.

And if one's luck happens to Explode, refining a Superior Blood Qi Pill, that is worth four Middle Grade Pills.

"Such a large improvement is worthy of the Experience Value consumed." Lu Yu nodded, deciding to continue improving his Alchemy.

This time, as expected, it consumed one thousand points of Experience Value.

A white light flashed in his mind; Lu Yu could not bother to feel anything else and impatiently looked at the Skill bar.

【Blood Qi Pill Alchemy: Entering the Hall, Characteristic: Pill Formation Level 3, Middle Grade】

Lu Yu was stunned, thinking that if that were the case, the chance of the pills refined this time being Low Grade would be very low?

【Middle Grade: For refined pills, there is a seventy percent chance of Middle Grade appearing, a twenty percent chance of High Grade or higher quality pills appearing, and a ten percent chance of Low Grade appearing】

"???"

After reading the characteristic description, a wry expression appeared on Lu Yu's face.
