Talent Swallowing System - Chapter 762 Pill Refining And Merging
Currently, Leo didn’t have any good items to merge and the only way he could get some good items was by refining more pills.
He believed that he would at least get mid-level rank 2 pills by refining Spiritual Essence Pills.
As for the rank 1 pills like Spirit Channeling Pills, Qi Harmony Pills and Vitality Pills, he was fully confident in refining top-level pills just like how he refined the Qi-refinement Pills.
Before I start the pill refinement, let’s check the information on the top-level Qi-refinement pill.
With that thought in his head, Leo used the [Quasi-Divine Knowledge].
…
Pill Name: Qi-Refinement Pill (Top-level).
Effect: Increase the cultivation speed of Qi-refinement cultivators by 10 times for half a day.
Special Effect: 1) When this pill is taken for the first time, a Qi-refinement cultivator can instantly break through one level.
2) It increases the success rate of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm by 10 percent (Success Rate can be stacked).
Note: Special Effects are only useful for the first time.
…
‘What? The normal effect increased from 10 minutes to half a day and as for the special effect, it can not only help a cultivator breakthrough by a single level but also increases the success rate for breaking through to the next realm by 10 percent.’
Leo could not help but become shocked as checked the information on the pill once again.
‘In short, this Qi-refinement pill became a low-level Foundation Establishment Pill.’
When this thought came to him, Leo could not help but look at the high-level pills in the gourd and the remaining four sets of ingredients he has with him.
‘As long as I sell them, I can become very rich; however, I should be careful not to dump all the pills into the market at once as it would decrease the demand.’
With that thought in mind, Leo decided to plan regarding these pills after he completed today’s merging session.
‘Let’s begin.’
Despite refining the pills for the entire night, Leo was not tired but still, but he took a short break of 10 minutes before beginning his second pill refining session.
First, he took out a set of ingredients for the Vitality Pills and started the process.
Even before the enlightenment, Leo was good at refining the Vitality Pills and after the refinement, Leo was confident in refining high-level Vitality Pills.
‘I wonder what kind of special effect a top-level vitality pill has.’
Since a merged high-level vitality pill could already increase the lifespan of one year, he became quite expectant of the special effect of a top-level vitality pill.
‘Ting’
Time passed by and in a flash, 15 minutes passed by and compared to the Qi-refinement Pill, it took five minutes more to refine a batch of Vitality Pills.
‘Please surprise me.’
Soon, Leo opened the cauldron’s lid and saw 20 pills lying in it.
[The ascender’s title [Mad Alchemist] has been triggered and double the number of pills in the refinement]
Even before Leo could think that his title was not working, he received an announcement from [Heaven’s Voice], making him reveal a slight smile on his face.
’20 mid-level vitality pills and 20 high-level vitality pills.’
Looking at the quality and the quantity of the pills, Leo was not surprised; however, he was very happy as he knew he would be growing powerful slowly and steadily as long as he continued to work on improving his alchemy along with his [Fundamentam Merge].
‘Let’s take a break and merge these high-level vitality pills before merging the Spirit Channeling Pills and the Qi-harmony pills.’
Leo planned to merge the pills one by one according to their rank and thus he planned to refine the rank 1 pills first before focusing on the rank 2 pills like Spiritual Essence Pills.
And decided to take the merging time as a break time for him between his pill refinements.
10 high-level Vitality Pills → 1 top-level Vitality Pills.
[Quasi Divine Knowledge]
….
Pill Name: Vitality Pill (Top-level).
Effect: No matter how severe the injuries are, as long as there is a breath in them, this pill can recover them in a few minutes.
Note: It can be useful for cultivators below the Golden Core Realm and the higher the cultivation, the slower the recovery rate will be and it can only recover minor injuries for the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators.
Special Effect: First-time consumption of the pill will increase 5 years of lifespan and from the second to fifth time, the pill can increase the lifespan of the cultivator by one year each.
…
As soon as he merged the high-level Vitality Pills into a top-level Vitality Pill, Leo didn’t waste any time as he directly checked the information on the pill.
‘What? Can recover some on his deathbed?’
The normal effect had already surprsied Leo and when he read the special effect, Leo was thoroughly shocked.
‘A total lifespan of 10 years? It is equivalent to a longevity pill from the legends and of course, it was a mini version of it.’
For young cultivators, the lifespan of 10 years won’t be seen as much; however, for old cultivators like Leo and Gallant, 10 years of lifespan could change their entire life.
If Leo’s predecessor had five more years, he would have not rushed to break through to the Golden Core Realm without using a Golden Core Pill.
During the 10 years, even if was unable to find a Golden Core Pill, he might have found some other treasures that could increase his success rate for breaking through to the Golden Core Realm.
Hence, Leo knew exactly how powerful these top-level Vitality Pills would be.
‘It looks like I can find some old cultivators who are nearing their death and make them join my sect.’
Suddenly, Leo thought of this idea; however, he was not in a hurry because he didn’t have the time to go and search for those old cultivators who set one foot into their graves.
‘I wonder whether this body’s old acquaintances are alive. He seemed to have some good buddies in his youth.’
However, Leo didn’t know how many of them were alive and even if they were alive, their current whereabouts were unknown.
‘I think they might have started their sects or might have become skeletons in some old caves.’
Leo stopped thinking about them as he focused on refining the third rank 1 pill, Qi Harmony.
‘A top-level Qi Harmony Pill can be seen as a pill between a low-level foundation establishment pill and a mid-level foundation establishment pill. So, I can sell them and increase the revenue.’
Leo was planning to do one specific thing with each pill.
For example, he was planning to use top-level Vitality Pills to get some old but loyal followers for the sect.
As for this top-level Qi Harmony Pill, he was planning to increase the funds so that he could buy more pills. Of course, it was the same for the mid-level Qi-refinement Pills; however, he was keeping top-level pills for himself… at least for now.
By consuming the Qi Harmony Pill and a top-level Qi-refinement Pill together, a level 9 Qi-refinement cultivator could not only breakthrough to the peak Qi-refinement but he could also get a success rate of 30 percent to breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment.
However, he was not planning to let his disciple do that as he had already made other plans for them.
‘As my disciples, I should let them consume top-level Foundation Establishment Pills.’
This was what Leo thought in his head and of course, it might take some time; however, Leo felt it won’t be very long as he had already made a rough plan regarding that.
‘Anyway, let’s continue with the pill refinement and merging.’
Soon, Leo didn’t waste any time as he refined the remaining two pills.
The refinement of the Spirit Channeling Pill was successful in 30 minutes. Even though it was a rank 1 pill, it could be considered to be a rank 2 pill and the price for these ingredients were also the same.
Nevertheless, Leo was successful in refining them with ease.
‘The number of pills for the refinement of a batch of Spirit Channeling Pills are also the same as the other rank 1 pills.’
Leo heaved a sigh of relief to see 40 pills, of which 20 were mid-level and 20 were high-level pills.
Just like the Qi-refinement pills, he planned to merge the top-level pills and sell the mid-level Spirit Channeling Pills to increase the revenue.
‘With more top-level Spirit Channeling Pills, all my disciples can reach level 9 in the shortest time possible.’The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
Leo already knew what a top-level Spirit Channeling Pill is capable of. So, he didn’t waste his time checking them out.
Instead, he focused on refining his first rank 2 pill which is the Spiritual Essence Pill.
‘A merged high-level Spiritual Essence Pill can already help me gain Enlightenment, then what about a top-level pill?’
Thinking about this, Leo became excited; however, he suppressed his excitement by muttering, ‘To get my hands on a top-level pill, I need to refine high-level pills.’
Soon, Leo started refining the Spiritual Essence Pill by following the knowledge in his head.
Actually, thanks to the enlightenment, Leo’s body worked automatically and even Leo was shocked about it.
Nevertheless, his expectations had increased to the next level seeing how fluent he was in refining the pills.
‘Ting’
After one hour, there was a familiar sound as Leo calmed himself before opening the lid to the pill.
’20 pills … .became 40 pills.’
Leo saw the initial 20 pills turn into 40 pills thanks to his title as he focused on checking the quality of the pills.
