Chapter 296: Improvement of the True Qi Pill Prescription?

Within the current field of pill refinement at the Association, there are a series of characteristics between the True Qi Pill and the Blood Qi Pill that are both similar and quite distinct.

Just as with the situation regarding the Blood Qi Pill, the Association has, up to this point, only been able to refine Superior True Qi Pills.

However, the differences between these two types of pills are equally significant.

Looking solely at the success rate of refinement, even when an Alchemist's proficiency has reached the realm of Consummation, the probability of successfully refining a Superior True Qi Pill remains pitifully low, struggling to even reach a proportion of thirty percent.

Moreover, and more crucially, each furnace of True Qi Pills typically yields only two pills; compared to the output of other common pills, this yield for the True Qi Pill is truly pitifully small.

The quality of a True Qi Pill, similar to the principle where the quality of a Blood Qi Pill determines the increase in blood qi, directly determines the amount of True Qi a Martial Artist can recover after consumption.

Specifically, one Low-Grade True Qi Pill can roughly restore about fifty units of True Qi to a Martial Artist.

However, due to the influence of various factors, the actual amount of True Qi recovered will fluctuate around this value.

It is precisely for this reason that even those Martial Artists who have broken through the Vein Refining Realm for some time must never consume a whole pill without caution when facing a True Qi Pill.

One must know that once the intake of True Qi is excessive, it is highly likely to cause the meridians to be unable to withstand the powerful impact of the True Qi and burst, thereby posing a serious threat to the Martial Artist's life.

Such a consequence is unthinkable for any Martial Artist.

Middle-Grade True Qi Pills, on the other hand, have a significant increase in the amount of True Qi restored, reaching approximately two hundred units.

Such an abundant amount of True Qi is undoubtedly a timely help for Martial Artists in the middle stage of the Vein Refining Realm.

Just one Middle-Grade True Qi Pill can allow the True Qi within their bodies to recover by more than half, rapidly replenishing the True Qi consumed during combat or cultivation.

Of course, everything in the world has two sides; although the Middle-Grade True Qi Pill far exceeds the Low-Grade True Qi Pill in the total amount of True Qi restored, the time required for recovery will be much longer accordingly.

Furthermore, the speed of True Qi recovery is not immutable; it varies from person to person.

Even for two Martial Artists practicing the same mental cultivation method, due to differences in their mastery of the method, the final speed of True Qi recovery will be completely different.

The differences here depend not only on the level of cultivation of the mental method but are also closely related to the Martial Artist's own physical constitution, meridian strength, and various other factors.

As for the Superior True Qi Pill, the role it can play is even more astonishing.

The total amount of True Qi it can provide is as high as one thousand units!

One must know that for Martial Artists in the late stage of the Vein Refining Realm, the total amount of True Qi in their bodies is usually only around one or two thousand units.

This means that just two Superior True Qi Pills are enough to allow a late-stage Vein Refining Martial Artist's True Qi to quickly recover to its maximum value, providing powerful energy support for their subsequent cultivation and combat.

More crucially, the value of the Superior True Qi Pill is not only reflected in its huge assistance to late-stage Vein Refining Martial Artists when they are breaking through their final two meridians, but for Martial Artists in the True Essence Realm, it is an even more vital source of True Qi.

True Essence Realm Martial Artists can use special cultivation methods to compress and transform this True Qi, turning it into more refined and powerful True Essence, which is then stored in the dantian.

Obviously, the more True Qi a Martial Artist obtains, the more True Essence they can eventually transform, and naturally, their own strength will be stronger.

It is precisely based on these reasons that the Superior True Qi Pills painstakingly refined by the Association are basically prioritized for supply to core Martial Artists of the True Essence Realm, such as the President Zhou Yu and Vice President Kong Ming.

As the pillars of the Association, they bear the important responsibility of maintaining the stability of the Association and dealing with various crises, so their demand for Superior True Qi Pills is extremely urgent.

From this, it is not difficult to see that even if the appearance probability of the Superior True Qi Pill only increases by ten percent, it would mean a huge leap in strength for the entire Association.

Thinking of this, Yao Lao could not help but take a deep breath; he turned his head, looked at Kong Ming with suspicion in his eyes, and said with a hint of disbelief in his tone: "This is not very likely, is it?"

After all, in the past full year, several other top-tier alchemy experts in the Association had studied day and night and tried their best, yet they had only managed to arduously increase the appearance probability of the Superior True Qi Pill from ten percent to twenty percent.

The energy and resources consumed in this process, as well as the countless failures experienced, were all still fresh in Yao Lao's mind.

"Who can say for sure?" Kong Ming smiled slightly and continued.

"Just like this time, Yao Lao, how could you and I have imagined before that in a seemingly unremarkable little place like Yongan City, there would actually appear a young man like Lu Yu, and that he could actually improve the Blood Qi Pill Prescription to such an astonishing degree?"

Hearing Kong Ming's words, Yao Lao could not help but be slightly stunned.

Yes, looking back, until the pills were actually successfully refined and came out of the furnace, he had not believed from the bottom of his heart that Lu Yu could accomplish all of this.

However, the facts had slapped him hard in the face.

Lu Yu not only successfully refined a furnace of Top-grade Blood Qi Pills, but among this furnace of pills, there even appeared an extremely rare Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill.

Honestly, this kind of thing, in the past, he would not have even dared to dream of it.

"In any case, Yao Lao, let's just wait and see," Kong Ming said with a smile.

He was truly looking forward to Lu Yu being able to improve the True Qi Pill Prescription.

Even if he could not make the whole furnace Top-grade True Qi Pills, and even if there were no Top-grade True Qi Pills, as long as he could significantly increase the appearance probability of Superior True Qi Pills, it would be of extraordinary significance to the Association.

After all, as long as there are enough Superior True Qi Pills, perhaps it won't be long before the President can break through the True Essence Realm and enter the Heavenly Human Realm!

But Yao Lao, who was on the side, frowned tightly.

Although he also held a glimmer of hope in his heart, he felt that the hope was very slim.

At this moment, in the Yong'an City Branch.

Looking at the screen that had turned black, Qi Heng turned around and cast his gaze toward Lu Yu.

"Little Brother Lu, why don't you consider it carefully again? With your aptitude, going to the Headquarters to develop is the wisest choice."

"Yes, Little Brother Lu," Zhang Xue also advised, as she was truly worried that if they left, a crisis might suddenly occur in Yongan City.

By that time, even if they received the news and rushed back at the first opportunity, it would likely be too late.

"Thank you for your kindness, both seniors, but my mind is made up," Lu Yu gave them a gentle smile.

"Sigh." Qi Heng and Zhang Xue looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness and confusion.
