Chen Lin had never imagined that his Talent Ability could be so overbearing-it had produced two pills in a single batch!
The number of pills produced in each batch varied depending on the pill formula. A batch of Chuyuan Pills could yield as many as ten, while a batch of Marrow-Cleansing Pills could yield only one, no matter how accomplished the alchemist was.
A batch of Foundation Establishment Pills actually yielded only one as well, but Mu Xingchen had said that his improved pill formula might allow two pills to emerge from a single batch.
He had only said it was theoretically possible and had never achieved it himself. Yet Chen Lin had actually done it!
This meant that the speed at which he accumulated Foundation Establishment Pills would double.
He had originally thought he would need to purchase a hundred sets of ingredients to obtain ten Foundation Establishment Pills. Now, fifty would be enough.
Indeed, Chen Lin intended to accumulate ten Foundation Establishment Pills, then charge toward the Foundation Establishment Realm in one sustained push!
