Chapter 328: True Qi Pill Alchemy

Lu Yu's thoughts stirred, and he added another 1,200 points of Experience Value.

【True Qi Pill: Minor Accomplishment, Trait: Pill Formation Level 2, Middle-Low Grade】

It was still a Middle-Low Grade trait. Lu Yu clicked to view it.

【Middle-Low Grade: For True Qi Pills refined, there is a 60% probability of Low Grade pills and a 40% probability of Middle Grade pills.】

Compared to the previous Prescription, the probability of Low Grade pills appearing had decreased by 20%, and correspondingly, the probability of Middle Grade pills appearing had increased by 20%.

"It seems that with this Prescription from the Association, I won't have to worry about losses once I reach the Small Success Realm," Lu Yu pondered to himself.

Although a furnace of True Qi Pills usually only yields two finished pills, the probability of Low Grade True Qi Pills and Middle Grade True Qi Pills appearing is six to four, nearly one to one.

In other words, the two True Qi Pills refined could potentially both be Low Grade, one Low Grade and one Middle Grade, or both Middle Grade.

Of these three scenarios, the first just breaks even, the second earns a little money, and the third earns a lot of money!

From this, it is evident that this improvement was quite successful.

"It looks like the probability of Middle Grade pills appearing later will reach a very high level; perhaps there won't even be a chance for Low Grade True Qi Pills to appear," Lu Yu thought, while simultaneously investing another 2,400 points of Experience Value.

【True Qi Pill: Entering the Hall, Trait: Pill Formation Level 3, Middle Grade】

【Middle Grade: For True Qi Pills refined, there is an 80% probability of Middle Grade pills and a 20% probability of Low Grade pills.】

Sure enough, the probability of Middle Grade True Qi Pills had increased to 80%. Calculating based on a 30% success rate, the True Qi Pills refined were almost all Middle Grade.

"It seems that at the Great Success Realm, I will be able to refine Superior True Qi Pills." Lu Yu's lips curled slightly upward. Since he had already guessed the general direction, he simply raised this Alchemy technique directly to the Consummation Realm.

Subsequently, around 13,000 Experience Value was invested into it.

【True Qi Pill: Consummation, Trait: Pill Formation Level 5, Medium-High Grade】

【Medium-High Grade: For True Qi Pills refined, there is a 75% probability of Middle Grade pills and a 25% probability of Superior True Qi Pills.】

"25%?" Seeing this trait description, Lu Yu widened his eyes.

He truly had not expected it to be like this...

However, the Prescription had indeed mentioned before that if one could raise this Alchemy technique to the Consummation Realm, the probability of Superior True Qi Pills appearing would be between 20% and 30%. Therefore, this probability was within expectations.

"It seems that wanting to increase the probability of Superior True Qi Pills appearing is indeed not an easy task; it took raising the proficiency level to increase the probability from 10% to 25%," Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, a piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

【Two True Qi Pill Alchemy techniques detected at Consummation, do you wish to fuse them?】

Lu Yu didn't even think about it and naturally chose "Yes."

In an instant, the two Alchemy techniques turned into specks of light, slowly merging together, and finally formed a new line of small text.

【Nameless True Qi Pill Alchemy Technique: Chushen Ruohua, Trait: Pill Formation Level 6, Medium-High Grade】

Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

He was truly curious about what the trait description of this fused Alchemy technique would be.

If nothing else, just the Level 6 Pill Formation trait—the success rate must be at least?

Lu Yu couldn't wait to click on the first item.

【Pill Formation: For every level the skill increases, the success rate increases by 10%.】

"It really is 60%?" Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Originally, he had been full of anticipation that it might exceed 60%, perhaps reaching around 70%.

As it appears, after fusion, the probability of finished pills did not increase additionally due to the fusion; this extra 10% was purely due to the increase in the Alchemy technique proficiency level.

"Oh well, at least it increased by 10%, better than nothing," Lu Yu consoled himself.

Don't underestimate this seemingly inconspicuous 10%; it means one more pill produced per furnace, and as the number of refinements increases, the returns will naturally be quite considerable.

"Next, let's look at this." Lu Yu shifted his gaze to the second trait, secretly speculating in his heart that the probability of Superior True Qi Pills appearing should have increased, right?

【Medium-High Grade: For True Qi Pills refined, there is a 50% probability of Middle Grade pills and a 50% probability of Superior True Qi Pills.】

"50%!" Lu Yu's lips couldn't help but curl upward. He truly hadn't expected the probability of Superior True Qi Pills appearing to double directly.

Calculating based on the current success rate, for every furnace of True Qi Pills refined, he could obtain six finished True Qi Pills.

Among them, three are Middle Grade, worth 900,000 Contribution Points; three are Superior, worth 3,600,000 Contribution Points.

In total, that is as high as 4,500,000 Contribution Points! And the cost is only 200,000 Contribution Points, a profit of over twenty times!

A satisfied smile appeared on Lu Yu's face; he knew deep down that this was only just the beginning.

Regarding this Alchemy technique, Lu Yu thought for a moment, his lips curling slightly.

Perhaps he could imitate the Blood Qi Pill Prescription and sell it to the Association to earn a commission.

In this way, he could have a steady stream of Contribution Points coming in to purchase medicinal herbs. Furthermore, it would also help improve the strength of the Martial Artists within the Association.

"Better to continue researching the Prescription first."

Lu Yu checked his Experience Value and found it had dropped from 320,000 to around 280,000.

Judging by the experience consumption of these two Alchemy techniques, the next two would definitely require more Experience Value. However, nearly 300,000 points of Experience Value should be enough.

【True Qi Pill Alchemy: Not Even a Clue】

This Alchemy technique is not simple; according to the introduction, if one can raise the proficiency to the Consummation Realm, there is a chance to refine Supreme True Qi Pills.

Lu Yu was full of anticipation, rubbed his hands excitedly, and added a point of Experience Value to it.

The proficiency increased by one-thousandth instantly.

"One thousand points, still within an acceptable range." Lu Yu did not hesitate and immediately added all the remaining Experience Value.

In the blink of an eye, the skill bar changed.

【True Qi Pill Alchemy: Initial Glimpse, Trait: Pill Formation Level 1, Low Grade】

【Pill Formation: For every level the skill increases, the success rate increases by 15%.】

【Low Grade: For pills refined, there is a 70% probability of Low Grade pills and a 30% probability of Middle Grade pills.】

"The success rate increased to 15%, a 50% increase. Calculating this way, upon reaching the Consummation Realm, the success rate could reach 75%." Lu Yu frowned slightly.

Increasing the success rate of pill formation is certainly a good thing, but even with such an outstanding Prescription, is it still impossible to raise the success rate of True Qi Pill formation to one hundred percent?

I wonder if the remaining Prescription, which is said to be able to refine a Heaven-Grade True Qi Pill, can achieve that?

He turned his gaze to the "Low Grade" trait and his eyes could not help but light up. Even at the Entry level, there is actually a considerable probability of refining a Middle-Grade True Qi Pill, which is truly impressive.
