High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Chapter 255: True Qi Pill Fusion (Seeking Subscriptions)

[Pill Formation: Each level up of the skill increases the success rate by ten percent]

[Low Grade: True Qi Pills refined are one hundred percent low grade]

After reading the descriptions of the two traits, Chen Fan gave a bitter smile.

It was indeed as he had expected.

At Level 1, the Pill Formation trait only had a miserable ten percent success rate.

In other words, when refining a batch of True Qi Pills, out of ten pills, only about one would be a successful product.

This was the theoretical value.

In reality, there was a high probability of refining several batches of True Qi Pills and not getting a single successful pill...

A ten percent probability was really too low.

In contrast, the description of the Low Grade trait was still acceptable.

"Even if it’s raised to the Perfection Realm, the success rate is only fifty percent, which means five successful pills out of a batch of ten."

Chen Fan shook his head.

This probability couldn’t be considered low, but it wasn’t particularly high either.

No wonder Meridian Refining Martial Artists in the association could only buy middle-lower grade True Qi Pills.

Because even the supply of middle-lower grade True Qi Pills was not plentiful.

He felt a bit of relief in his heart, luckily, this alchemy skill was the worst of the four pill formulas he had, and it would get better from here.

With a thought, he added another 800 experience points.

The skill level of alchemy improved by another stage.

[True Qi Pill: Slight Achievement (0%), Trait: Pill Formation Level 2, Middle-Lower Grade]

[Middle-Lower Grade: Refined True Qi Pills have an eighty percent chance of being low grade, and a twenty percent chance of being middle grade]

Chen Fan clicked his tongue.

The Middle-Lower Grade trait for Qi Blood Pills at least had a thirty to forty percent chance of being middle grade.

For True Qi Pills, it was only twenty percent.

He consumed 1600 experience points.

[True Qi Pill: Entering the Hall (0%), Trait: Pill Formation Level 3, Pseudo-Middle Grade]

"???"

Seeing this newly appeared trait, Chen Fan’s mouth opened slightly.

Pseudo-Middle Grade?

[Pseudo-Middle Grade: Refined True Qi Pills have a sixty percent chance of being low grade, and a forty percent chance of being middle grade]

"So that’s how it is."

After reading the explanation clearly, Chen Fan laughed wryly.

No wonder it wasn’t considered middle grade; the probability of middle-grade pills appearing hadn’t even reached half, only forty percent.

The success rate of refining products had been raised to thirty percent.

Chen Fan calculated; at this level, refining True Qi Pills generally yielded only three successful pills per batch.

According to the description of Pseudo-Middle Grade, the ratio of low to middle grade was six to four.

Out of three pills, two would be low-grade True Qi Pills worth 200,000 contribution points each, and one would be a middle-grade True Qi Pill worth 300,000 contribution points,

while the cost of the ingredients was 200,000 contribution points, yielding more than double the profit, making it viable to sustain oneself.

"Not easy at all."

Chen Fan sighed.

Reaching the beginner level might not be difficult for an average alchemist.

But achieving the Small Success Realm was not so simple, even for exceptionally talented individuals, it took one to three years.

During this period, there was basically no profit.

After all, the success rate was only twenty percent, yielding only two successful pills per batch.

The probability of them being low-grade was as high as eighty percent. Excluding labor and electricity costs, it just broke even.

If luck was superb, and one pill turned out to be middle grade, one could double the profit, but having both as middle grade was nearly impossible.

In the long run, profit was possible but minimal. Only by raising alchemy to the Entering the Hall level could one achieve stable earnings.

If it could be raised to Great Success, or even Perfection, a large amount of money would be at one’s feet, ready to be picked up with a slight bend.

"Continue."

Chen Fan invested 3200 experience points.

Seeing the new trait in the skill bar, he breathed a sigh of relief.

[True Qi Pill: Entering the Hall (0%), Trait: Pill Formation Level 4, Middle Grade]

[Middle Grade: Refined True Qi Pills have a sixty percent chance of being middle grade, and a forty percent chance of being low grade]

Yes, the "pseudo" was removed from Pseudo-Middle Grade, and the probability of middle-grade True Qi Pills had risen to sixty percent.

According to the current calculation of a forty percent success rate, out of four True Qi Pills, at least two would be middle grade, worth 600,000 contribution points.

The other two, considered low grade, would still be worth 200,000 contribution points, covering the cost of a batch, and yielding a profit of 600,000 contribution points.

In the long term, the actual profit could be around 700,000 contribution points.

"The next skill level is Perfection."

Chen Fan took a deep breath.

At Perfection, there would be a probability of obtaining top-grade True Qi Pills.

After consuming 6400 experience points, the alchemy skill finally reached the Perfection Realm.

[True Qi Pill: Entering the Hall (0%), Trait: Pill Formation Level 5, Middle-Upper Grade]

[Middle-Upper Grade: Refined True Qi Pills have a seventy percent chance of being middle grade, a ten percent chance of being top grade, and a twenty percent chance of being low grade]

"A ten percent probability."

Chen Fan smiled bitterly.

This probability was too low.

Because even at the Perfection Realm, the success rate was only fifty percent.

If a batch of True Qi Pills was successfully refined, the probability of getting top-grade pills would be halved again, possibly being only five percent...
