"So, if you have a mid-grade foundation-building pill, you can have about a 70% chance of success?"
Yuanxiao suddenly thought of his previous experience of using the Apocalypse Pearl to purify the pill. The result at that time was that the pill expelled a layer of black impurities, leaving behind a shiny core essence.
"That's right! A mid-grade foundation-building pill can increase our success rate of foundation-building by 50%. If I add my own cultivation conditions and efforts, I can indeed reach a success rate of about 70%.
Of course, this is just a thought. I have already tried my best to get this low-grade foundation-building pill in front of me. A mid-grade foundation-building pill is out of reach for me, and the sect's alchemy workshop is also limited to the alchemy level of the alchemists.
It may not be possible to make a furnace of mid-grade foundation-building pills in a year! The pills that can be successfully refined are basically low-grade foundation-building pills, and the unsuccessful ones may even have the entire furnace scrapped and turned into black beans or pill dregs."
"Brother Mo, why don't you ask our crazy uncle for help? At least he can refine pills independently. If he succeeds, wouldn't it be possible to bypass the sect and reduce a lot of costs for exchanging pills?" Yuan Xiao asked.
"Junior Brother Yuan, just as you said, if it can be successful... Since I entered the sect more than ten years ago, when I was about the same age as you are now, I have heard about Uncle Crazy. Uncle Crazy vowed to only refine two kinds of elixirs, the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Golden Pill.
One is used by the tenth level of Qi Refining to impact the Foundation Establishment stage, and the other is used by the late stage of Foundation Establishment to impact the Golden Pill stage.
Both are very precious elixirs. Rumor has it that Uncle Crazy has never successfully refined any qualified Foundation Establishment Pill or Golden Pill since the sect moved a hundred years ago.
Even if we don't talk about these rumors, I have been managing the old mountain gate here for the past seven or eight years. During these seven or eight years, Uncle Crazy still has not refined any Foundation Establishment Pill or Golden Pill." Mo Fei paused here and fell into reminiscence.
"I have visited Master Crazy in the alchemy room several times before, and I hope that one day Master Crazy can successfully refine these two kinds of pills, fulfill his oath, and go to Xinshanmen in glory.
In the past two years, I have basically given up this hope. Sometimes I think that Master Crazy is also a poor old man who is struggling. Why should I provoke him again?" Mo Fei said sincerely.
After hearing this, Yuan Xiao fell into deep thought. Could it be that this frank and honest speech would be of great guidance to Yuan Xiao's future path of cultivation?
I really want to help Senior Brother Mo, but can I help? How can I help? Yuan Xiao needs to verify it again and think about it again.
"Brother Mo, I have something to say. Please consider it. If possible, don't use this low-grade foundation-building pill for now. You can proceed with the other preparations required for foundation-building.
But don't eat the foundation-building pill. Keep it well. I will go find Uncle Feng in a few days to find out why Uncle Feng has not been successful in refining pills. I will help him by the way. Maybe with someone to help, everything will turn around!"
Yuan Xiao paused for a moment, then continued, "Brother Mo just said that he had used up all his spirit stones in exchange for this low-grade foundation-building pill. So he needs some time to accumulate some spirit stones for the critical moment of impacting the foundation-building process, so he originally needed to wait a little longer.
Brother Mo, you just need to wait for me for a month, and don't use this foundation-building pill within a month. In addition, I actually found a few low-grade spirit stones in the mine these days, and I will send them to you in a few days."
