Chapter 62

This Qi Nourishing Pill, the spiritual energy within it is even more concentrated, and the medicinal energy is even stronger. Hu Donghan merely glanced at it a few times and was very certain that this Qi Nourishing Pill should be a mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pill!

A mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pill is more than twice as effective as an ordinary low-grade Qi Nourishing Pill! And in terms of price, this quality of Qi Nourishing Pill is more than five times the price of an ordinary low-grade Qi Nourishing Pill! Taking too many pills will lead to a certain resistance to the same type of pill, making it less effective when taken again. This is what is known as drug resistance.

For cultivators with good talent, when they take pills to assist in their cultivation, they generally choose pills of better quality. Even if resistance to the pill develops later, the effect of the same pill is much stronger than that of a lower-grade pill, making it more worthwhile.

Of course, truly talented cultivators would never take pills.

Like Hu Meier, with her superior ghost spirit root, her cultivation speed is already astonishing, and she progresses the fastest during the Qi Condensation stage. Therefore, during the Qi Condensation stage, she would never take any pills. Only after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, or even the Golden Core stage, when the growth of cultivation slows down, would she start taking pills.

Taking pills during the Qi Condensation stage is not a good thing for those with excellent spirit roots.

Of course, for cultivators like Hu Donghan with poor talent, taking pills to assist in cultivation is the most important means. Poor talent naturally leads to unsatisfactory growth in cultivation. Without the assistance of spiritual medicines, one might not even reach the Foundation Establishment stage before their lifespan is exhausted. Once a person dies, everything becomes nothing.

As for Hu Donghan, what he needs most urgently now is to improve his cultivation. Therefore, he is very eager to refine and take pills.

Previously, when the Spirit Medicine Ghost had not refined mid-grade pills, Hu Donghan naturally felt that having any pills to take was already quite good. However, after learning that the Spirit Medicine Ghost could refine mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pills, Hu Donghan couldn't help but consider whether he should take pills of higher quality to make the future path easier.

Of course, as long as one has a little ambition, the choice is clear.

Hu Donghan hesitated for a moment and then decided to choose pills of higher quality. Of course, if the Spirit Medicine Ghost's production of mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pills is too low, he would have to lower his standards.

In fact, most alchemists consider refining low-grade pills as qualified. Being able to refine mid-grade pills is considered a stroke of luck. If one can refine high-grade pills, it is considered a sign of good fortune. As for supreme-grade pills, they seem to always be just a legend.

Hu Donghan instructed the Spirit Medicine Ghost to continue refining Qi Nourishing Pills and then went out to tell Niu Ergen to fetch three hundred sets of materials for refining Qi Nourishing Pills from the Earth Fire Hall.

Then, he threw all three hundred sets of Qi Nourishing Pill materials to the Spirit Medicine Ghost and sat cross-legged, falling asleep in the pill room.

Roughly speaking, since Hu Donghan planned to refine Qi Nourishing Pills, he had not slept for more than five days.

Five days without sleep is quite a burden for a cultivator at the first level of Qi Condensation. Therefore, after confirming the Spirit Medicine Ghost's ability, Hu Donghan slept very soundly.

When he woke up, Hu Donghan hadn't even opened his eyes when he smelled the fragrance of pills filling the room.

What he saw was the Spirit Medicine Ghost scattering pills everywhere. In the room, there were about three hundred pills densely packed.

Hu Donghan immediately collected these pills excitedly, then did a rough count, and the final result made him smile broadly.

Among these pills, there were as many as 190 small Qi Nourishing Pills. Apart from the small Qi Nourishing Pills, there were 116 low-grade Qi Nourishing Pills and 8 mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pills!

Eight mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pills! The production of such mid-grade pills indeed made Hu Donghan very excited.

After categorizing all the pills and storing them in jade bottles, Hu Donghan left the basement.

He called Niu Ergen to inquire about the time and found out that he had slept for six hours!

The benefits the Spirit Medicine Ghost could bring to Hu Donghan had already exceeded his expectations. Hu Donghan was in high spirits and casually took out 20 low-grade Qi Nourishing Pills to reward Niu Ergen—now, Hu Donghan felt that his life was not lacking in pills!

He had Niu Ergen bring hot water and food, took a shower, and ate, then began to calculate his gains over the past five days.

In these five days, the Spirit Medicine Ghost consumed 202 sets of spiritual medicines, of which 98 failed, and the rest were all successfully refined!

As for the production of pills, there were a total of 9 mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pills and more than a thousand low-grade Qi Nourishing Pills. The附属 product of Qi Nourishing Pills, small Qi Nourishing Pills, numbered nearly two thousand, an extremely large quantity. According to the current price of pills in the Yin Soul Sect, two small Qi Nourishing Pills are worth five spirit stones, one low-grade Qi Nourishing Pill is worth ten spirit stones, and one mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pill is worth fifty spirit stones. The gains are absolutely astonishing!

Of course, what Hu Donghan felt was the greatest gain was the success rate of mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pills!

Although the Spirit Medicine Ghost consumed more than 200 sets of spiritual medicines to produce 9 mid-grade pills, the first mid-grade pill appeared on the 190th set of spiritual medicines! The remaining 8 pills were produced in the last 12 refining sessions!

In other words, the success rate of mid-grade pills by the Spirit Medicine Ghost has already reached over 60%! This success rate is considered good even in the eyes of veteran alchemists!

After cleaning the impurities from his body, Hu Donghan returned to the pill room.

He took out the 9 mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pills, looked at them carefully, and thought to himself: "Previously, I had no pills to assist in cultivation, but now I not only have enough pills, but also refined mid-grade pills! However, the auxiliary effect of mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pills is still unclear. Now, let me take one first."

Hu Donghan thought, started to circulate the Profound Yin Heart Method, and then swallowed a mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pill.

As soon as the Qi Nourishing Pill entered his mouth, Hu Donghan felt the medicinal fragrance instantly fill his nose and mouth. Then, the Qi Nourishing Pill transformed into pure spiritual energy in his body, circulating within. At the same time, Hu Donghan rapidly circulated the Profound Yin Heart Method, and the spiritual energy in his body increased at an extremely fast rate.

Hu Donghan's current cultivation speed of the Profound Yin Heart Method is much faster than others, and the surrounding spiritual energy is abundant, especially after taking the mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pill.

After just one circulation of the Profound Yin Heart Method, he felt his strength seemed to have improved.

However, the effects of the Qi Nourishing Pill had not yet passed, and Hu Donghan continued to rapidly circulate the heart method. After about an hour, the effects of the mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pill began to gradually dissipate.
