Grade Four Pill! [Seeking Flowers, Collections, and Reviews!]

What does it mean to refine a furnace of pills in five minutes?

In that short a time, you wouldn't even finish the preparatory work for alchemy!

But there was no helping it.

Su Xiaobai wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength simply wouldn't allow it!

"Ding! Successfully refined pills: Trauma Relief Pill*16!"

Five minutes later, the multicolored progress bar finished completely, and the system notification arrived.

The lid of the Alchemy Furnace flew off, a wisp of curling white smoke drifted out, and then a full sixteen still-warm Trauma Relief Pills emerged fresh from the furnace!

With a thought from Su Xiaobai, a Trauma Relief Pill instantly appeared in his palm.

"So this is the Ten Thousand Spirit Coin Trauma Relief Pill... I refined sixteen in one go, which is worth a hundred and sixty thousand!"

Feeling the scorching heat radiating from the pill, Su Xiaobai carefully examined it, his eyes brimming with excitement!

The Trauma Relief Pill was merely a "low-grade pill."

Pills were divided into nine grades.

First, second, and third grades were low-grade pills.

Fourth, fifth, and sixth grades were mid-grade pills.

Seventh, eighth, and ninth grades were high-grade pills.

Things like the Spirit Enhancement Pill, Marrow Cleansing Pill, Primal Yang Pill, and Qi Recovery Pill were all first or second-grade low-grade pills.

But even if they were low-grade, they were still pills!

They could still sell for over ten thousand Spirit Coins!

And if you calculated it carefully, the material cost for one Trauma Relief Pill was less than a thousand Spirit Coins... but without an alchemist's help, where would you turn that thousand in material cost into ten thousand?

That was precisely why alchemists were so sought after.

"If I could buy materials in bulk and then sell them in bulk, flipping them through One-Click Alchemy, I could easily make over double the profit!"

Su Xiaobai couldn't help but start calculating in his head.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

He could sell Fierce Beast materials in large quantities without affecting his low profile...

But pills were different.

If he put too many of these out, disrupting the market was one thing, but the second was that it would immediately draw the attention of the major families!

Buying large amounts of materials.

Selling large amounts of pills.

If they wanted to investigate, they could trace it back to him in no time!

This kind of behavior was no different from announcing to the whole world that he had a divine alchemy tool, and everyone should come and hack him down!

Su Xiaobai had no intention of courting trouble for the sake of a little profit!

"I have to go the premium route!"

Su Xiaobai made a new decision. "I need to buy higher-grade pill formulas and gather the corresponding materials! Preferably the kind of pills that ordinary alchemists can't refine... make one big score!"

Making a lot of money by mass-producing pills was currently not feasible.

Unless Su Xiaobai had enough strength to not fear anyone coming to cause trouble... then he could refine as many as he wanted, and the profits would roll in!

Incidentally, he could also refine some pills for his own use.

He was a warrior himself.

Even if he didn't need them now.

But if he ever ran into a powerful enemy, they might come in handy!

"System, what effect does upgrading One-Click Alchemy have?"

Su Xiaobai asked.

"Level 2 One-Click Alchemy requires one hundred thousand Spirit Coins. After upgrading, the grade of pills that can be refined increases to mid-grade!"

"Level 3 One-Click Alchemy requires one million Spirit Coins. After upgrading, the grade of pills that can be refined increases to high-grade!"

"..."

Clearly, One-Click Alchemy, like Automated Monster Hunting, required ten times the Spirit Coins to upgrade, but the grade of pills it could refine rose directly... which meant that as long as the level was high enough, any grade of pill could be refined!

"Now I only have a little over a million left. Tomorrow, I'll go to the Warrior Hall first and see if I can use this money to buy a high-grade pill formula!"

"But for now, it's time to put the rest of the money into the other system functions!"

"Automated Skill Training has already reached level 5. Upgrading to level 6 costs one hundred thousand, which is just enough!"

A gleam flashed in Su Xiaobai's eyes. "System, upgrade Automated Skill Training!"

"Upgrade complete!"

The indicator in the upper right corner of the One-Click Training Space went straight from "*32" to an even faster "*64"!

The training time required for the Space Attribute Technique also shrank from the original days to less than that many days in an instant!

"Getting closer and closer!"

Su Xiaobai gripped the Dagger Blade in his hand, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Only by completing the cultivation of this Space Attribute Technique could Su Xiaobai be considered to have a true trump card of his own, along with the confidence to stand against his family!

The next day, Su Xiaobai went to the Warrior Hall.

After browsing around, he already had over a dozen Grade Four Pill formulas in his hands!

Grade Four Pills were the highest-level pill formulas the Warrior Hall could provide... and they were meant for big shots at the level of Martial Generals and Martial Marshals!

Ordinary warriors would at most use Grade One Pills, which were already considered a luxury for them... That's why those Advanced Warriors all had Grade One Pill formulas.

By the time one reached Martial Master, they could start using more Grade One Pills; intermediate ones could use Grade Two occasionally, and Advanced Martial Masters could only use Grade Three once in a while.

As for Grade Four, even Advanced Martial Masters couldn't bear to use them—they were practically enshrined as a clan's heirloom treasure... Even Martial Generals didn't dare use them lightly.

Thus, any single Grade Four Pill started at least in the tens of millions... and there was no market supply to match the demand!

If Su Xiaobai could refine a batch of over a dozen Grade Four Pills in one go, that would mean hundreds of millions in profit in no time!

As for the formulas themselves, that didn't matter.

Even if you laid them out plainly for someone, it was useless—unless you could gather enough materials and pay a hefty price to hire an alchemist to refine the pills for you!

"Perfect..."

Su Xiaobai looked at one of the formulas in his hands, his expression excited.

He recognized every single material listed on this Grade Four Pill formula!

Because they all appeared in the loot from Automated Monster Hunting!

And those medicinal herbs could also be purchased directly from the Warrior Hall.

The key point was—excluding the cost of Fierce Beast materials, the herb cost was less than ten thousand Ten Thousand Spirit Coins!

Even adding in the Fierce Beast material cost, it still came to less than ten thousand Ten Thousand Spirit Coins.

It was only because the success rate for Grade Four Pills was relatively low that they could sell for sky-high prices starting in the millions!

"This is heaven's way of telling me I'm destined to get rich!"
