Chapter 16
This was the first time that Lu Yuan had refined a perfect-grade pill.
After entering the private pill refinement room, Lu Yuan started to analyze the reason why he could create the perfect elementary cultivation pill.
...In fact, the process of him refining the elementary cultivation pill during the assessment was not much different from usual.
The only change was that he had used a threaded pill furnace.
Secondly, the success rate of pill refinement at that time exceeded 100%.
Now that he thought about it, the key reason should be the success rate.
After all, the essence of the threaded pill refinement furnace was to increase the success rate of pill refinement.
Lu Yuan boldly speculated that as long as the success rate of refining pills exceeded 100%, there would be a certain probability of refining a perfect elementary cultivation pill.
The success rate exceeding 100% by 10% meant that there was a 10% chance of a perfect-grade pill appearing in a single pill refinement.
The higher the exceeding probability, the more perfect-grade pills would appear.
Secondly, to verify his thoughts, Lu Yuan immediately started today’s pill refinement.
After two hours…
[Elementary Cultivation Pill]
[Current Success Rate: 105%]
He lifted the furnace lid and took out the pills.
Ten elementary cultivation pills flew out and landed steadily on the wooden box in Lu Yuan’s hands.
As expected, he had successfully refined all ten elementary cultivation pills.
However, what made Lu Yuan regretful was that there were no perfect-grade pills among the ten elementary cultivation pills.
He was not discouraged though. Instead, he continued with the next refinement.
After a day, Lu Yuan looked at the results of the day’s refinement in his hands, his face filled with excitement.
In his hands, there were two wooden boxes.
In one box were 47 ordinary elementary cultivation pills. In the other box were three perfect elementary cultivation pills.
One of the three pills was refined during the assessment.
Lu Yuan had refined a total of two perfect Elementary cultivation pills in the four times of pill refinement in the pill refinement room today.
If calculated according to a furnace of ten elementary cultivation pills, he could produce one perfect-grade elementary cultivation pill for every 20 pills.
Lu Yuan was already very satisfied with this efficiency.
Moreover, as his proficiency level increased, this success rate would only increase. Thus, Lu Yuan was not in a hurry.
Through this experiment, he had more or less grasped the method to refine the perfect-grade elementary cultivation pill.
Furthermore, Lu Yuan drew an analogy and thought that since there were perfect-grade elementary cultivation pills, there was no reason that other pills could not reach the perfect grade too.
In fact, this phenomenon might not only exist in pill refinement.
The perfect grade might also exist in other expertise, such as weapon refinement and talisman creation.
For a moment, Lu Yuan had the urge to learn weapon refinement and talismans.
These two “life skills”, coupled with his proficiency interface and luck talent, Destined Lucky Star, could be said to be a perfect match!
However, this thought only flashed through his mind.
After all, everything had its priorities.
His top priority now was to raise his cultivation.
Although he was in the sect now and wouldn’t easily encounter danger, what if a devil came to the sect’s door one day, or a disciple of the Qingyun Sect offended a “good-for-nothing” while traveling, and the “good-for-nothing” came to sect’s door to humiliate them in public?
Although the probability of these things happening was very small, it was definitely not impossible!
Therefore, Lu Yuan felt that he needed to have the ability to protect himself first.
He couldn’t pin his hopes on others.
Not to mention that Meng Ruyan was still a great threat.
Although the two of them had been in contact for some time and knew each other’s strengths and weaknesses, in all honesty, Lu Yuan was still unable to figure out the demoness’s character and was also unclear of her true strength.
However, thinking about it, the fact that the demoness could reach level 5 of the Foundation Establishment Stage at the age of 26 meant that she was not weak.
Cultivation was only one aspect. After all, a person’s strength was not entirely based on cultivation.
Since Meng Ruyan had the guts to be a spy at Qingyun Sect, she was definitely not a fool who only knew how to cultivate. She must have a good fighting talent too.
In any case, Lu Yuan felt that even if he were to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage now, he would not be a match for Demoness Meng Ruyan’s one hand.
The more he thought about it, the more Lu Yuan felt that he had to develop properly.
At the very least, he had to wait until his cultivation was close to or above Demoness Meng Ruyan’s and possessed countless trump cards. Only then would he consider having a showdown with the other party.
Otherwise, at this stage, Lu Yuan could only continue living off the demoness. He could forget about making trouble.
In short, he only had to develop steadily!
Now was not the time to face off against demoness Meng Ruyan!
Lu Yuan’s development plan was also very simple.
One was to improve his cultivation, and the other was to improve his pill refinement level as soon as possible.
Lu Yuan had been refining pills all this time and the results were gratifying.
In terms of cultivation, with the help of a large number of elementary cultivation pills, Lu Yuan’s cultivation speed was several times faster than before.
Now, he even had perfect-grade elementary cultivation pills.
He felt that his cultivation speed could be further accelerated!
With this thought in mind, Lu Yuan began to research the best time to take the elementary cultivation pill.
He did not forget that the perfect elementary cultivation pills had the probable effect of improving the aptitude of one’s spiritual roots, though he had no idea what the probability was.
Moreover, it was different from pill refinement. Lu Yuan did not know how to distribute luck when taking medicine.
Perhaps the system understood his dilemma, so it sent him a notification.
[Ding! When the host’s luck value reaches 300 points and above, taking the elementary cultivation pill (perfect) will definitely trigger the effect of improving the spiritual root aptitude.]
After this system notification appeared, the elementary cultivation pill (perfect) interface also changed.
[Elementary Cultivation Pill (perfect)]
[Effect: …]
[Luck Value: 195/300]
[Special Effect Trigger Rate: 65%]
As long as he had 300 points of luck, he would be able to trigger the special effect of the perfect-grade elementary cultivation pill, huh…
After understanding this, Lu Yuan was no longer in a hurry to eat it.
His luck value now reached 195 points.
Every time he had a “friendly exchange” with the demoness Meng Ruyan, he would be able to gain more than 20 points of luck.
With some calculations, he would have to do it with her about six times, which was about a month and a half.
At that time, he would be able to meet the requirements to trigger the special effect of the perfect-grade elementary cultivation pill with 100% certainty.
It’s just a month and a half, yours truly can afford to wait!
Now that he had a clear goal, Lu Yuan could not wait to interact more with the demoness Meng Ruyan.
Even though the aptitude of his spiritual roots would temporarily drop after every exchange, the debuff would only last for about half a day.
It wouldn’t be able to affect him much.
The demoness Meng Ruyan probably thought that she was high above him. But in reality, he was the one that was high above her!
She took his aptitude while he seized her luck. The two of them would each take what they needed!
She might earn a small profit, but he will never lose out either!
After planning his future path, Lu Yuan started his day of cultivation.
He, Celestial Master Lu, didn’t have any other abilities except for his indestructible liver!
He would work hard!
