Chapter 291: Pills with a Thin Film

The few people present were, at this moment, completely bewildered by Lu Yu's seemingly contradictory remarks.

After all, according to common sense, if the pill refining process went smoothly, how could an accident occur for no reason? Between these two things, there seemed to be an irreconcilable contradiction.

However, Lu Yu did not rush to explain too much; instead, holding the furnace that was still emitting wisps of heat, he walked with steady steps slowly toward the crowd.

"Hiss..." Song Tian, Qi Heng, and Zhang Xue all gasped in cold air, and immediately after, their faces were instantly filled with irrepressible excitement.

Top-grade! They were actually all Top-grade Blood Qi Pills! Brother Lu, you are truly too steady!

"!!!" Over at the headquarters, Kong Ming, who had originally been looking on with a somewhat scrutinizing gaze, could not help but widen his eyes the moment he saw that furnace of pills on the screen, his face instantly revealing a look of deep surprise.

Even though it was just through a screen, relying on his rich experience in pill appraisal, he accurately judged the quality of this furnace of Blood Qi Pills at a glance; without a doubt, they were all Top-grade!

The significance contained in this discovery was truly too momentous.

This meant that what Qi Heng and the others had said before was not an exaggeration; this young man named Lu Yu had really successfully improved the Prescription, and he was actually able to increase the probability of Top-grade Blood Qi Pills appearing to an unbelievable one hundred percent.

"How is this possible!" Yao Lao felt as if he had been struck heavily by a giant bell; his head was buzzing, and he was plunged into extreme shock.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten—a full ten Top-grade Blood Qi Pills!

It was actually a whole furnace of Top-grade Blood Qi Pills! How, how on earth did he do it?

"Brother Lu, you are simply too amazing." Qi Heng felt a sense of relief, the heavy stone that had been hanging in his heart finally landing, and he couldn't help but give Lu Yu a thumbs up, his eyes full of admiration.

"I just knew that Little Brother Lu was absolutely reliable," Song Tian also said with a face full of smiles.

"Little Brother Lu, you just said that a small accident occurred; what exactly do you mean?" Zhang Xue asked with a face full of curiosity.

"That's right, I remember you just said that overall it went smoothly, yet you also said an accident occurred, but I look at this furnace of pills and they are all Top-grade; I don't see any accident."

Qi Heng took another careful look, his eyes fixed tightly on the furnace of pills as if trying to find some clues within, and he said, equally puzzled.

Lu Yu understood in his heart that this was the moment to test his acting skills.

To tell the truth, he really had not expected that a Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill would appear during this pill refining...

However, this might not be a bad thing; he could just take this opportunity to raise the value of this Prescription even higher.

He frowned slightly, stretched out his finger, and pointed at one of the Blood Qi Pills, saying: "Two seniors, did you not notice that this Blood Qi Pill has some differences compared to the others?"

"A bit different?" Hearing this, the few people hurriedly leaned in to look closely, and even Kong Ming and Yao Lao on the screen focused intently on that pill.

"It seems, it really is a bit different!" Zhang Xue said with her eyes wide open in surprise, "The size looks about the same, but the color is clearly deeper, the feeling it gives is also more intense, and, on its surface, there seems to be a thin film."

"What did you say? A thin film?" Hearing this, Yao Lao was almost scared stiff.

Kong Ming's body shook violently, as if he had heard some earth-shattering news.

"That's right, Brother Xia, look quickly, does this pill not have a thin film on its surface?" Zhang Xue stretched out her finger and pointed at that Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill again.

"That's correct," Qi Heng nodded and said, "There is indeed a thin film on the surface, and I can also feel that the medicinal power contained in this pill is more concentrated than the other nine. Little Brother Lu, what exactly is going on here?"

Lu Yu feigned helplessness, shook his head, and with a bitter smile on his face, said: "I'm not too sure either. Come to think of it, this is my first time encountering this situation, which is why I said a small accident occurred."

"Is that so?" Qi Heng was bewildered; he felt that this so-called accident didn't seem like a bad thing, but rather like a great stroke of luck, but he really couldn't wrap his head around what exactly was going on.

"This is no accident." Just then, Kong Ming's serious voice came from the screen.

"Little Brother Lu, if I am not mistaken, you have successfully refined a Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill."

"What? A Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill!"

"Heaven Grade!"

"Heaven Grade?" Hearing this, the three of them—Qi Heng and the others—were instantly unable to contain their excitement.

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief inwardly; since Kong Ming had already pointed it out, his acting didn't need to be too exaggerated.

"Heaven Grade? President, do you mean that I have refined a pill with a quality even higher than a Top-grade Blood Qi Pill?" He feigned an expression of surprise.

"That's right," Kong Ming said solemnly, his gaze fixed tightly on Lu Yu, "Above Top-grade is Heaven Grade. Even the powerful Awakened Association finds it difficult to refine many Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pills."

Speaking of this, Kong Ming took a deep breath; although he tried hard to maintain the calmness on his face, his heart was already like a surging sea.

"The effect of one Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill is worth six or seven Top-grade Blood Qi Pills, and the absorption rate for a Martial Artist can even reach 90%. Little Brother Lu, you have truly brought us an unimaginably huge surprise this time."

For a moment, the scene fell into a brief silence. The gazes of Qi Heng and the other two focused once again on Lu Yu.

You must know that for ordinary Blood Qi Pills, the absorption rate after a Martial Artist consumes them is only 30%, and the remaining medicinal power is excreted from the body.

Furthermore, if it is a Low-grade Blood Qi Pill, it will also contain impurities; if consumed long-term, these impurities will accumulate in one's meridians, having a huge negative impact on the subsequent process of breaking through meridians. It is no exaggeration to say that consuming Low-grade Blood Qi Pills is no different from cutting off one's own future.

But many Martial Artists have no choice and can only consume them helplessly.

If conditions allowed, who wouldn't want to consume High-grade Blood Qi Pills?

High-grade Blood Qi Pills not only have very few impurities, which can almost be ignored, but the human body's absorption rate for them can reach 50%, which is already quite considerable.

And for Top-grade Blood Qi Pills, the absorption rate is over 70%; usually, people are already grateful to be able to get a bottle of Top-grade Blood Qi Pills.

But who could have imagined that above Top-grade, there is actually Heaven Grade, and the effect of one Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill is even stronger than six Top-grade Blood Qi Pills!

The key is that the absorption rate of a Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill is as high as 90%, which is almost no different from one hundred percent!

Therefore, Lu Yu's Prescription can not only increase the probability of Top-grade Blood Qi Pills appearing to one hundred percent, but it is even possible to refine the even more precious Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pills!

"So that's how it is." This time, Lu Yu was truly enlightened.

It was his first time learning that there was such a thing as an absorption rate for pills; with a 90% absorption rate, it seems that Heaven Grade quality is not the limit for pills either.

However, this did not have much significance for him.

Because he himself could achieve one hundred percent absorption of pills, as if his body were a perfect pill furnace, capable of completely digesting and absorbing the medicinal power of the pills.
