Chapter 357: The Improved Version of the True Qi Pill

"This... this..." Yao Lao stammered, for a moment not knowing how to speak.

He had originally intended to show off in front of his old friend He Lao, to indulge in the thrill of being an expert, and incidentally wait for He Lao to come and ask him for advice on alchemy techniques.

It was hard enough for He Lao to almost believe that this prescription was one he had improved himself; who could have guessed that this fellow Kong Ming would choose this exact moment to barge in.

Now it was a fine mess; his little secret thoughts were all exposed, as embarrassing as having one's underpants stripped off by someone else.

"What on earth is going on? Old Yao, weren't you just speaking with such eloquence? How come as soon as Kong Ming arrives, you're like a mute gourd, not making a sound?"

He Lao's mouth corners lifted slightly, and he said with a hint of teasing, "Fine, if you won't say it, I'll just ask Kong Ming directly, won't I find out?"

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Kong Ming, "Kong Ming, what exactly was the matter you just mentioned?"

"That..." Kong Ming scratched his head, only then realizing why Yao Lao had been winking at him earlier.

But at the time, he was truly too excited; his mind was filled with that good news, and he had no heart to ponder Yao Lao's hints.

"Hmm?" He Lao hummed with some dissatisfaction, "What, has this matter become classified, and you can't tell me?"

"He Lao, please don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that, it's just... it's just..." Kong Ming smiled bitterly, his peripheral vision stealing a glance at Yao Lao.

"Fine, fine, fine." Yao Lao sat down on a nearby chair with a huff, saying ungraciously.

"This prescription was given to the headquarters by a little brother. I've been studying it for the past two days, and it was hard to get some results, so I wanted to show off in front of you, but it ended up being ruined by this kid. You, oh you, you really don't let me worry less." He looked full of frustration that iron could not turn into steel.

"Yao Lao, I really didn't do it on purpose." Kong Ming felt extremely aggrieved.

Before coming, he had specifically made two phone calls, but no one answered. That little brother Lu was still waiting for a reply; he couldn't just leave the person hanging, could he?

Besides, that was the improved True Qi Pill prescription; every second of delay felt like wasting a great opportunity, which was simply a sin.

"It was given to the headquarters by a little brother?" He Lao heard this and his mouth opened wide in surprise, "You mean to say, this prescription was actually improved by a young little brother?"

"That's right." Yao Lao glanced at He Lao, who was in a state of astonishment, and continued, "I know you might not believe it, but this is the truth. When you watched me perform alchemy earlier, did you feel like I was doing many things wrong?"

"This..." He Lao's old face flushed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at the furnace of pills not far away.

"When I watched that little brother refine the Blood Qi Pill earlier, I had the same thoughts as you did then, feeling that many of his operations had problems, but as a result..."

"As a result, what happened?" He Lao couldn't help but ask eagerly.

"As a result, out of the ten Blood Qi Pills he refined, nine were Top-grade Blood Qi Pills, and there was one more... it was actually a Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill!"

"What! Heaven Grade!" He Lao was completely stunned, his eyes wide, his pupils seemingly fixed, motionless.

He had originally thought that the extra Blood Qi Pill in the furnace Yao Lao had just refined was at most High Grade.

After all, the results Yao Lao had just displayed were like that.

But he never imagined it would be Heaven Grade!

You must know, up until now, the entire Martial Arts Association had no Alchemist who could refine a Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill!

"You don't believe it?" Yao Lao pursed his lips toward Kong Ming, "You can ask him; he was at the scene at the time."

He Lao, like a puppet being manipulated, slowly turned his head to look at Kong Ming.

"It is absolutely true, He Lao." Kong Ming nodded seriously, "Little brother Lu did indeed refine a Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill; Yao Lao and I both saw it with our own eyes, and we definitely wouldn't mistake it."

"Heaven Grade..." He Lao muttered to himself in a low voice, as if he hadn't yet recovered from this shocking news.

Immediately, as if he had suddenly thought of something, his gaze looked eagerly at Yao Lao, and he said with a hint of reproach: "Old Yao, aren't you being too unkind? Such a good thing, and you actually didn't tell me first, but secretly studied and practiced here by yourself?"

"Ahem." Yao Lao's face turned red to the roots of his ears, and with a guilty conscience, he cast his gaze toward the corner of the wall, stammering: "I wasn't, I was just scouting the path for you first."

"Cut the crap!" He Lao directly let out a curse, "Don't I know you? You clearly wanted to learn it yourself first, and then come to show off in front of me. Hmph, we've known each other for so many years, do you think I don't know your little schemes?"

After finishing, he looked at Kong Ming again and asked eagerly: "Kong Ming, you must have the improved prescription on you, right? When you go back in a moment, send it to my email immediately, no,"

As he spoke, he grabbed Kong Ming's hand and urged: "Send it to me right now."

"Alright, alright, alright." Kong Ming hurriedly responded, and he gently patted He Lao's hand to soothe him: "He Lao, please don't be anxious..."

"What do you mean don't be anxious?" Before Kong Ming could finish his sentence, He Lao interrupted him with his beard blowing and eyes wide, "If such an important matter isn't urgent, then what counts as urgent? Huh?"

"No, He Lao, please let me finish what I'm saying first." Kong Ming was truly between laughter and tears.

"That's right!" Yao Lao stood up from his chair with a sudden movement, "Kong Ming, I remember you said as soon as you came in that the young man was going to give us another prescription, I didn't hear that wrong, did I?"

"What? Another prescription?" Once He Lao heard this, he became even more anxious, "What kind of prescription is it this time? Could it be a Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill?"

"Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill?" Yao Lao's breathing also became rapid in an instant.

A Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill; for an Alchemist, if one could refine a pill of this quality, that would be an absolute supreme honor!

Moreover, if the Martial Artists in the Association could use it, their strength would definitely increase significantly. By then, they would also be able to hold their heads high in front of those Alchemists from other branch Martial Arts Associations.

"It's not that." Kong Ming shook his head, but a mysterious smile appeared on his face, "However, the value of this prescription is even greater than the Heaven Grade Qi Blood Pill."

"What on earth is it? You kid, stop keeping us in suspense, speak quickly!" Yao Lao and He Lao said almost simultaneously, unable to wait.

"It's the True Qi Pill, the improved True Qi Pill prescription." Kong Ming said hurriedly.

"What, True Qi Pill!"

"True Qi Pill prescription!"

The two old men looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

Yao Lao was the first to recover, and he hurriedly pursued the question: "What is the effect of the prescription he improved?"

"Little brother Lu said that after his improved prescription, the probability of a Superior True Qi Pill appearing can reach eighty or ninety percent." After Kong Ming finished speaking, he himself took a deep breath.

Sure enough, the large Alchemy Room instantly fell into a dead silence again.

Yao Lao and He Lao only felt a buzzing sound in their minds.
