Chapter 181 You Want to Refine Pills? (Please Subscribe)

He thought that with the mid-grade characteristics, low-grade quality pills would no longer appear.

Surprisingly, it's still 10%.

Fortunately, it's only 10%, and even if you refine ten batches of pills in a row, you might not get a single one.

Moreover, the probability of obtaining a superior grade item has increased from 10% to 20%.

Don't underestimate the seemingly small increase of 10%; in reality, it's a doubling of the original amount.

With a level 3 pill-forming characteristic and a 60% success rate, even if they are all mid-grade Qi and Blood Pills, their value is only 30,000 yuan, which is already quite good.

However, if a single high-grade pill appears, it's worth 20,000; if two appear, it's worth over 10,000. And that doesn't even include the fully formed mid-grade Qi and Blood Pill.

"If I'm not mistaken, reaching the Great Completion stage should be considered mid-to-high grade, right?"

A sense of anticipation arose in Chen Fan's heart.

I added a little experience points.

This time, 2000 experience points are needed!

Looking at my 6500+ experience points, if I add those 2000, I'll only have a little over 3000 left.

"I wonder if these 3,000 points will be enough to max out the account."

Chen Fan was both amused and exasperated. He was still one level away from mastering the [Thirteen Protectors Horizontal Training] and [Soul-Destroying Finger]. He had originally thought that 7500 experience points would be more than enough.

Who would have thought that alchemy would be such a resource that consumes a lot of experience points?

If you can't add enough experience points, then add those 3,000 experience points to these two subjects.

He added the remaining 1999 points.

A memory resurfaced in my mind; it contained little information, but it was enlightening, like a sudden awakening.

[Qi and Blood Pill Refining Technique: Mastery (0%), Characteristics: Pill Completion Level 4, Medium to High Grade]

[Mid-to-High Grade: There is a 60% chance of producing mid-grade pills, a 30% chance of producing high-grade pills, and a 10% chance of producing top-grade pills.]

Seeing this, Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

At least it wasn't subpar.

Moreover, the probability of obtaining top-grade items has increased from 20% to 30%.

Even considering the 10% chance of getting a top-quality pill, it's actually 40%.

Don't underestimate this small percentage; even if only one top-grade pill appears, it could be worth more than all the other pills in this batch combined.

"In that case, there are actually top-grade Qi and Blood Pills among the pills that the General Society refines, but the number is extremely small and they cannot be supplied as commodities."

Chen Fan looked at the characteristics of the pill.

With just one more level up, the chance of successfully completing the pill is 100%.

Moreover, the characteristics of medium to high grade will also become high grade!

He took a deep breath.

I wonder if 3000 experience points are enough?

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be enough, but what if?

He added a little bit, just to give it a try.

He immediately felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

No more, no less, just one in three thousand in proficiency, that's enough.

He added all the remaining experience points.

A sudden inspiration struck me.

An unprecedented feeling welled up inside me.

[Qi and Blood Pill Refining Technique: Perfected (Cannot be upgraded), Characteristic: Pill Completion Level 5, Superior Grade]

"Top grade!"

Chen Fan's breathing quickened slightly.

[Superior Grade: There is a 60% chance of producing a superior grade pill, a 30% chance of producing a top-grade pill, and a 10% chance of producing a mid-grade pill.]

Looking at the feature description, Chen Fan was so happy he couldn't speak.

A 30% chance of obtaining a top-grade pill is close to one-third, which is already quite good.

In addition, there is a 60% chance of obtaining a high-grade elixir.

As for the 10% chance of getting a mid-grade pill, it's actually not a big deal; even if it does appear, it's not a problem.

Because top-grade and superior-grade pills are very valuable.

Even if there's only a 10% chance that the elixir won't appear, that's fine.

Chen Fan calmed himself down.

Could it be that there's room for improvement in the superior quality characteristics?

He felt it was very big.

The above likely contains top-grade characteristics, which greatly increase the probability of obtaining top-grade pills and greatly decrease the probability of obtaining high-grade pills.

So the question is, how do we raise the upper limit of this alchemy technique?

Chen Fan frowned slightly.

Most martial arts techniques are derived from and summarized from basic martial arts techniques.

But as for alchemy, I've never heard of a basic alchemy technique.

"Never mind, I'll ask other people later."

Anyway, he'll definitely be able to keep his alchemy practice a secret from others, and there's not much to hide anyway.

He opened his phone, went back to the association's online store, found the medicinal herbs section, searched for them, and got a clear idea of ​​what to expect.

Generally speaking, excluding other factors and only considering the medicinal materials, the cost of refining one batch of Qi and Blood Pills is around 2.

The market price of a low-grade Qi and Blood Pill is one thousand yuan. In other words, even if a batch of pills is all low-grade, you will still lose money.

Only with one batch of pills, at least four medium-grade pills, can one break even.

To achieve this, one's alchemy skills must be at least at a minor level, or at least at a high level.

This shows that learning alchemy is very expensive for ordinary people!

However, if one's skill level reaches a high level, or even a master level, then it's practically like making money while lying down.

Once you've refined one batch, that's the money for that batch; at most, you just need to bend down and pick it up.

If one reaches the perfect realm, ten pills, assuming all of them are of superior quality, would be worth two hundred thousand, a tenfold profit!

If you're lucky enough to find a top-grade Qi and Blood Pill, your Qi and Blood levels will increase fivefold instantly. To be honest, a 30% chance is still quite high.

Chen Fan glanced at his remaining contribution points, which were close to two million. At 20,000 yuan per resource, without discounts, he could buy two hundred resources.

If all goes well, we can refine 2000 high-grade Qi and Blood Pills!

Even though he is currently a two-star member and can get a 20% discount, it would still cost him 32 million contribution points to buy 2000 high-grade Qi and Blood Pills!

How much did he refine himself?

200 million contribution points.

A 16-fold difference!

"Indeed, self-reliance leads to abundance."

Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction.

He decided that from now on, not only would he buy the formulas for Qi and Blood Pills and True Qi Pills, but he would also prepare the medicinal materials himself.

The large amount of contribution points saved can be used to purchase cultivation techniques and weapons.

However, he still made a phone call before making the purchase.

"Feed?"

Sun Wei's voice came through the phone, "Yes, is that Brother Chen?"

He was a little uneasy.

Because of that incident, the group was in an uproar.

Chen Fan must have seen it, which is why he called me.

It's one thing to be wronged, but Chen Fan relied on his own real skills, yet he was suspected.

He felt very guilty.

"It's me, President."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "There's something I'd like to ask you about."

"what?"

Sun Wei was stunned for a moment, then said, "You, you say it."

"President, does our branch have an alchemy furnace?"

Chen Fan asked.

If not, he would definitely have to buy these devices, which would require an additional several hundred thousand contribution points.

"You mean the alchemy room? Yes, there is."

Without hesitation, Sun Wei replied, then suddenly realized something and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Chen, you wouldn't happen to be thinking of refining pills, would you?"

"Yes, President."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "I just bought the alchemy technique for Qi and Blood Pills. After taking a look, it doesn't seem too difficult, so I plan to try refining it myself. I feel that refining it myself is much more cost-effective than buying it from the association."

"It's a good deal, definitely a good deal."

Sun Wei hesitated for a moment, then said, "But that's on the premise that you can refine the finished product. To be honest, a few years ago, when our branch had a lot of people, some of them tried to refine Qi and Blood Pills. They spent money like water, and when they finally managed to refine a batch of Qi and Blood Pills, they found that it was not even as good as buying them directly from the association."

His words were clearly meant to be advice.

Actually, this is still a good thing.

Although this person was struggling to make ends meet, his talent was recognized by the headquarters, and he was taken there to refine pills.

I heard that in the past few years, he has been able to refine high-grade Qi and Blood Pills, and a good portion of the high-grade pills in the guild are made by him.

Many more attempts to refine Qi and Blood Pills ended in failure.

In the end, they all obediently went out to hunt ferocious beasts to earn contribution points.

"It's alright, Guild Master, I'll just give it a try. A single herb only costs 2 contribution points, it's not expensive. Even if I fail, it's not a big deal."

Chen Fan said.

"That's true."

Sun Wei nodded.

A mere 20,000 yuan is nothing to Chen Fan, who hunts high-level ferocious beasts as easily as playing a game.

"Alright, Brother Chen, you can use the alchemy room whenever you want. There are only so many of us here, and no one here knows how to refine pills, so we won't compete with you for it."

"Okay, thank you, Chairman."

Chen Fan hurriedly replied.

It must be said that the association can provide a lot of resources and assistance.

Even setting aside the alchemy room, just getting so many medicinal herbs is a difficult task.

"By the way, Brother Chen..." Sun Wei hesitated before speaking.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Fan asked curiously, "Is there something the president wants to tell me?"

"Yes, it's something that happened in the group chat."

Sun Wei made his decision and said, "Don't take what those people say to heart. They don't understand the situation and are just acting based on their own guesses."

"what?"

Chen Fan was completely confused.

"What happened in the group? What were those people saying?"

"?"

Sun Wei was taken aback, and suddenly realized something: Chen Fan might not have even seen the group chat.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

He quickly chuckled and said, "Young Brother Chen, you want to refine pills? That's great! Pill refiners can make a lot of money and gain recognition from headquarters. In the future, they can enter medium-sized cities in the map, or even major cities in Jiangnan."

"so."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Then I'll try my best."

"Yeah, keep it up, young Chen, I believe in you."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Wei breathed a sigh of relief, then a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

Well, I'm stuck here thinking about how to bring it up with Chen Fan.

After all that fuss, it turns out they weren't even paying attention to what was happening in the group chat.

That's good. With the time spent hanging out in groups, there's nothing wrong with doing something else.

However, Brother Chen's sudden desire to refine pills was indeed beyond his expectations.

"I wonder if Brother Chen can refine the pill. It's a pity I don't know how, otherwise I could have helped him."

Thinking of this, he suddenly had a jolt.

Yes indeed,

I don't know, but I can ask Zhuo Jun for help, right?

When he was here, everyone got along quite well. When the other party lacked contribution points to buy medicinal herbs, he, as the guild leader, helped a lot, not only by applying for headquarters subsidies, but also by paying out of his own pocket.

We've maintained some contact over the past few years.

If I were to swallow my pride and ask him for a little guidance, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?
