One Hundred Percent Pill Formation Rate!

After returning to his own courtyard, Xiao Wujiu closed the door and prepared to refine medicine for the first time since returning from Douluo Continent.

He had chosen this courtyard himself. It was relatively secluded, located at the edge of the Xiao Clan. At first, people had come looking for him, but as time passed and they learned of his preference for peace and quiet, they gradually stopped coming.

That was just right. A tranquil environment was also beneficial for refining medicine.

"Come, Creation Cauldron. Let me see where your limits lie!"

He did not take out his previous alchemy cauldron. Instead, he summoned his Martial Soul.

What joke? What alchemy cauldron could possibly be more suitable for refining medicine than his own Martial Soul?

He then took out several medicinal ingredients from his Storage Ring. These were the ingredients needed to refine a Tier 3 Qi Recovery Pill.

"Previously, I couldn't refine it because my Battle Qi was insufficient. There shouldn't be any problems now."

The Creation Cauldron flew from his right hand, continuously expanding before landing steadily on the ground. In the Battle Through the Heavens world, the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring transformed into a gemstone resembling a Magic Core and floated around the Creation Cauldron.

Xiao Wujiu activated his Battle Qi, and flames ignited within the Creation Cauldron. With his current strength and methods, refining mere Tier 3 Qi Recovery Pills did not require much effort.

He tossed all the medicinal ingredients into the Creation Cauldron at once, and then the first Spirit Ring flashed!

If other alchemists saw Xiao Wujiu doing this, they would certainly curse him for wasting medicinal ingredients. But to him, did this count as waste?

"First Soul Skill, Refining!"

Under his control, all the medicinal ingredients within the Creation Cauldron began Refining at the same time. Martial Souls were simply this unreasonable!

Percentage boosts, forcibly bestowed abilities, even rule-based powers and more—these were all hallmarks of the Martial Soul system!

No matter how uncooperative the medicinal ingredients were, no matter how demanding the refining conditions, Xiao Wujiu had only one response: "What nonsense are you babbling about? Take it up with my Creation Cauldron. Creation Cauldron, refine them for me!"

Very quickly, the various medicinal ingredients were refined into medicinal liquids. Their impurities were removed again and again, after which all the purified liquids gathered together.

The originally uneven, pitted surface of the pills rapidly became smooth and round under the sustained power of the Creation Cauldron's Refining!

As a medicinal fragrance spread through the air, the Tier 3 Qi Recovery Pills were complete!

Three Qi Recovery Pills, supported by Battle Qi, steadily landed in Xiao Wujiu's hand.

"One batch of ingredients for Qi Recovery Pills produced three pills?!"

Xiao Wujiu looked at the Qi Recovery Pills in his hand. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked by this Refining ability.

"Not only that, but the Qi Recovery Pills don't contain the slightest impurity. Their resistance buildup and pill toxicity have been reduced to the greatest extent possible!"

At this moment, he once again truly experienced the wondrous uses of a Martial Soul.

"The first Soul Skill's Refining not only preserves the original medicinal essence and reduces loss, but also removes all impurities. That's why both my pill yield and quality have improved so drastically!"

Without exaggeration, Xiao Wujiu was now confident that as long as his strength was sufficient and he was familiar with the pill formula, he would have a one hundred percent pill formation rate!

One hundred percent!

"One Spirit Ring alone isn't enough. I need to find some high-tier Magic Cores to increase my strength and enjoy the benefits of the Martial Soul system as much as possible."

"Moreover, with the Gate of Transmigration inside my body helping me, I felt no pressure when absorbing the hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring formed from a sixth-tier Magic Core. It seems the mysteries of the Crossing Gate still need further exploration."

But people were always greedy. Xiao Wujiu felt that there were only nine Spirit Ring slots in total. For people from Douluo Continent, having nothing but hundred-thousand-year Spirit Rings would be a miraculous configuration, yet he found it somewhat lacking.

"A sixth-tier Magic Core is equivalent to a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring. Then what about seventh-tier and eighth-tier ones? Would they be equivalent to million-year Spirit Rings, or even god-tier Spirit Rings?"

"Or once the power level surpasses the strongest level permitted by Douluo Continent's own planar rules, can it no longer be assimilated?"

"It seems I still have much preparation to do. As for seventh-tier Magic Cores, they're not something I can obtain at my current level. I should continue refining medicine for now."

Xiao Wujiu had originally been extremely excited, even entertaining the idea of immediately traveling to Douluo Continent again. However, he restrained himself. He still needed to make some preparations, so there was no need to rush.

Afterward, Xiao Wujiu refined pills throughout the night. During this process, he gradually became familiar with his current, greatly increased strength. Thanks to the rules on the Douluo Continent side, his cultivation did not suffer from any instability.

Still, he needed to refine more medicine in the near future to consolidate his Battle Qi. While recovering the Battle Qi in his body, Xiao Wujiu also summarized what he had gained the previous night.

"After a night of testing, all the Tier 1 to Tier 3 medicinal ingredients I prepared earlier have been completely used up. I've also basically confirmed that as long as I have sufficient Battle Qi and understand the pill formula well enough, I'll have a one hundred percent pill formation rate."

"Presumably, with my cultivation, refining pills from Tier 1 to Tier 5 should no longer pose much of a problem as long as I prepare adequately. Only Tier 6 Pills are still beyond what my current Battle Qi can support."

Thinking of this, he could not help feeling somewhat regretful. The inheritance he had obtained by chance had only belonged to a fifth-tier alchemist, but it contained a Tier 6 Imperial Extreme Pill formula.

"Forget it. Even if I refined it now, I couldn't use it. Pills below Tier 5 are enough for my current needs."

At this moment, jade bottles filled with pills surrounded Xiao Wujiu. After a night of refining, he had needed to consume several Qi Recovery Pills just to keep going, showing just how many pills he had produced.

"I should leave these pills to Yafie to sell. It'll also be a good chance to replenish my medicinal ingredient stockpile."

After tidying up briefly, he stored all the pills on the ground in his Storage Ring, then pushed open the courtyard gate and headed toward the Mittal Auction House.

When he arrived at the main gate, he ran into two old acquaintances.

"Cousin Xiao Yan, Cousin Xuner, are you two heading out as well?"

Xiao Wujiu looked at the two walking side by side and greeted them calmly.

"Cousin Wujiu."

When the two heard someone call out to them and saw that it was Xiao Wujiu, they both greeted him politely.

This young man, who was not much older than them, always seemed a few degrees more mature. Thus, both of them respected Xiao Wujiu.

Even during Xiao Yan's most flamboyant years, it had been the same. They simply had not interacted much with each other.

"Xuner and I are planning to stroll around the marketplace. Would you like to come with us, Cousin Wujiu?"

Xiao Yan regretted those words the moment they left his mouth, because he could already feel Xuner's burning gaze from behind him, making his back sting. But thinking of the help Cousin Wujiu had given him recently, he forced himself to endure it and waited for an answer.
