Although Han Yue agreed to come out of seclusion and help attack the Imperial City, system restrictions meant she also needed Ye Luo to help complete a mission. For example, the mission she issued required Ye Luo to prepare Demon Quelling Pills—and Mutated Pills at that.
It was worth mentioning that when Han Yue issued this mission, it clearly stated that the more pills Ye Luo prepared, the more combat power Han Yue and the others could unleash. With the minimum of 100 pills, the various Guardian Divine Beasts and Pillars of the Nation could only display 50% of their strength. Seeing this, Ye Luo naturally wanted to prepare more pills for Han Yue and the others. However, he soon discovered that there was also an upper limit to the number of pills he could provide for this mission: 1,000 at most. Even after he produced that many pills, Han Yue and the others could only display 80% of their combat power because they still had to resist the demonic energy's corrosion.
"80% combat power should be enough. Han Yue and the others are clearly stronger than us, especially since the demonic energy's corrosion will also reduce our overall strength somewhat." As Ye Luo muttered this, he naturally decided to provide 1,000 Mutated Pills. The stronger Han Yue and the others could be, the better.
However, Ye Luo soon discovered a problem—he did not have enough pills on hand.
It was not that Ye Luo had failed to refine that many pills before. Even though the chances of producing Mutated Pills were not particularly high, the number of pills he had refined had long exceeded a thousand. However, he had distributed a considerable portion to Breaking Waves Riding Wind and the others, and had even given some away as favors
