Chapter 329: Shocking the World

"Continue upgrading." With a thought from Lu Yu, two thousand points of Experience Value were added to Alchemy.

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

【Middle Grade: For pills refined, there is a 50% probability of producing Middle Grade pills, a 40% probability of producing Low Grade pills, and a 10% probability of producing High Grade pills.】

"Good heavens, there are High Grade True Qi Pills even at the Small Success realm." Lu Yu's eyes lit up immediately.

One must know that with the prescription improved by the Martial Arts Association, one must reach the Great Success realm to produce High Grade True Qi Pills; this gap is no small matter.

Lu Yu then invested another four thousand points of Experience Value.

【True Qi Pill Alchemy: Entering the Hall, Trait: Pill Formation Level 3, Medium-High Grade】

【Medium-High Grade: For pills refined, there is a 70% probability of producing Middle Grade pills, and a 30% probability of producing High Grade pills.】

The probability of High Grade True Qi Pills rose to 30%, which was triple that of the previous proficiency level! Lu Yu was tempted again, and eight thousand points of Experience Value were added.

【True Qi Pill Alchemy: Great Success, Trait: Pill Formation Level 4, High Grade】

【High Grade: For pills refined, there is a 50% probability of producing High Grade pills, a 40% probability of producing Middle Grade pills, and a 10% probability of producing Top Grade pills.】

"Top Grade True Qi Pill!" Lu Yu couldn't help but exclaim. He hadn't expected that just at the Great Success realm, he would unlock Top Grade True Qi Pills.

"It seems that at the Consummation realm, the probability of Top Grade True Qi Pills appearing is at least 20% to 30%." Lu Yu wore a smile.

He turned his head to look at the previously fused Lu Family Alchemy; comparing the two, the Lu Family Alchemy had a 10% lower probability of producing Top Grade True Qi Pills.

However, this was not a bad thing, as it meant the gap between the two alchemy techniques was not large. In this way, the improvement effect after fusion would surely be very significant.

Immediately after, he consumed the full amount of Experience Value without hesitation.

The Alchemy technique had finally reached the Consummation realm!

【True Qi Pill Alchemy: Entering the Hall, Trait: Pill Formation Level 4, Pseudo-Peak Grade】

【Pseudo-Peak Grade: For pills refined, there is a 70% probability of producing High Grade pills, and a 30% probability of producing Top Grade pills.】

"Pseudo-Peak Grade..." Lu Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fortunately, as he had expected, the probability of Top Grade True Qi Pills had increased to 30%.

Then... Lu Yu looked at the fusion prompt that appeared in his mind again and chose "Yes" without hesitation.

【Lu Family True Qi Pill: Chushen Ruohua, Trait: Pill Formation Level 6, Top Grade】

"Still Chushen Ruohua?" Lu Yu muttered to himself; he had thought that after the fusion, the proficiency cap would increase.

After all, if the cap increased, each trait would also increase by one level. But since there was no prompt, he could only let it go.

He cast his gaze toward the two subsequent traits.

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

【Top Grade: For pills refined, there is a 50% probability of producing Top Grade pills, and a 50% probability of producing High Grade pills.】

"Very good." Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction. Although the pill success rate was still 15%, due to the level increase, the current success rate had reached 90%, nearly 100%.

And the "Top Grade" trait meant that as long as it was a finished True Qi Pill, the quality would be either High Grade or Top Grade!

"There is one last one."

Lu Yu did not linger too long on this newly fused alchemy technique, because even so, it was still a semi-finished product. It still lacked a key step to truly become perfect.

【True Qi Pill Alchemy: Not Even a Clue】

Lu Yu stared at this alchemy technique, which was said to be able to refine Heaven-Grade True Qi Pills, and added one point of Experience Value to it.

The proficiency rose slowly by one three-thousandth.

"Three thousand points."

Lu Yu took a deep breath. As expected of an alchemy technique capable of refining Heaven-Grade True Qi Pills, the Experience Value required just for Entry was equal to the consumption of raising the previous alchemy technique to the third proficiency level.

Even so, he resolutely added the Experience Value.

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

Lu Yu hurriedly clicked on the first trait to check.

【Pill Formation: For every level the skill increases, the pill success rate increases by 18%.】

"18%?" Lu Yu was slightly startled. If it reached Consummation, wouldn't it be 90%? Could it be that even this alchemy technique couldn't achieve a 100% success rate for refining True Qi Pills?

He slowly exhaled, looked at the Lu Family Alchemy he already possessed, and secretly rejoiced that he had an alchemy technique with a 90% success rate.

If the two were fused, it would surely be able to achieve a 100% success rate.

"It really isn't easy..." he sighed in his heart, then looked at the other trait.

【Low Grade: For pills refined, there is a 60% probability of Low Grade pills, a 30% probability of Middle Grade pills, and a 10% probability of High Grade pills.】

"There is a chance of High Grade True Qi Pills even at the Entry realm?" Lu Yu was somewhat surprised.

Thinking of the required Experience Value, he felt it was within reason.

However, because the success rate was less than 20%, wanting to refine a High Grade True Qi Pill was almost equivalent to a fantasy.

"Might as well just max it out." Lu Yu said, adding the remaining Experience Value time after time. Including the three thousand points from the first time, a total of 【REDACTED】 points were invested!

Lu Yu looked at the less than 190,000 points of Experience Value remaining and felt a pang of heartache. It had to be said that the Experience Value consumed by this alchemy technique was truly astonishing.

Lu Yu cast his gaze toward the skill bar.

【True Qi Pill Alchemy: Consummation, Trait: Pill Formation Level 5, True Top Grade】

【True Top Grade: For pills refined, there is a 70% probability of Top Grade quality, and a 30% probability of Heaven-Grade quality.】

"30%!" Lu Yu was so excited he could hardly contain himself. Originally, he thought that like the Blood Qi Pill Alchemy, the Heaven-Grade probability would only be 10%, but it turned out to be 30%! The nearly 100,000 points of Experience Value were well spent!

Moreover, it could also be fused.

【Detected that two True Qi Pill Alchemy techniques have reached Consummation; proceed with fusion?】

Lu Yu looked at this message in his mind, took a deep breath, and decisively clicked "Yes."

The two alchemy techniques instantly turned into specks of golden light, slowly merging together. Soon, a new line of small text appeared on the skill bar.

【Lu Family Alchemy: Shocking the World, Trait: Pill Formation Level 7, True Top Grade】

"Shocking the World!" Lu Yu noticed these four words immediately.

This meant the proficiency cap had been raised! After Consummation comes Chushen Ruohua, and after Chushen Ruohua comes World-Shocking.

Then, after World-Shocking, would there be new proficiency levels?

"No, now is not the time to consider these things." Lu Yu suppressed his excitement and looked at the two subsequent traits.

Even if calculated at a 15% success rate per level of the trait, with a level 7 Pill Formation trait, the success rate had already exceeded one hundred percent.

And what about the later traits? Lu Yu pondered to himself, could it be that, just like the Blood Qi Pill Alchemy, there was only a ten percent probability of producing a Heaven-Grade True Qi Pill?

That shouldn't be the case, right? He had only fused two Prescriptions for the Blood Qi Pill, but for the True Qi Pill, he had fused a full four!
