Xiang Yu meticulously arranged his equipment and sorted through the herbs Meiling had provided. Among the resources were several precious sixth-grade herbs that made the alchemist part of him drool. But despite their value, he decided against refining them immediately.
Better to wait until his alchemy advanced beyond sixth grade, he reasoned. Wasting such precious materials on less than optimal success rates would be foolish.
His recent breakthrough to Sacred-grade enlightenment had boosted his base success rate from forty to fifty percent this meant he only needed to be one level above a pill's grade to achieve perfect results. With this enhanced proficiency and the abundance of resources from Meiling, he decided it was time to upgrade the quality of pills he provided to the sect.
"The sect has been receiving ninth-grade pills for too long," he thought, carefully measuring ingredients. "Eighth-grade should be a reasonable upgrade for now."
