Chapter 53 – Why are you looking at me like that?
On the other side.
After entering the side room, Xiao Chen ignored Cai Yan who had followed him in and immediately sat down cross-legged, taking out the Revitalizing Purple Pill.
He then used the appraisal function.
[A seventh-rank low-grade Revitalizing Purple Pill, containing numerous impurities. The medicinal power is not perfectly fused.]
[Due to prolonged storage and improper sealing methods, nearly forty percent of the medicinal power has been lost.]
[The current medicinal power can restore a high-level expert's cultivation to the first realm of Mystic Mastery.]
"As expected, it's a defective product..."
Seeing the pill's attributes, Xiao Chen shook his head.
With forty percent of the medicinal power lost and so many impurities, it was even worse than he had estimated.
However, even though this pill was somewhat trashy, if it were to be auctioned off in the outside world, it would still fetch at least one or two million Spirit Crystals.
This is the principle of rarity!
"System, as long as an item is in a damaged state, can it be restored to its complete form by consuming points?"
After appraising the Revitalizing Purple Pill, Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
"Ding! As long as the remaining part of the item is at least one percent of the complete form, the system can restore it to completeness!"
"Soul consciousness and Divine Powers are excluded."
After Xiao Chen asked, the system replied mechanically.
This made Xiao Chen's eyes light up instantly.
"Hiss... One percent?!"
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to shout out how awesome the system was, and looked at the Revitalizing Purple Pill with a heated gaze.
Immediately, his spiritual sense enveloped the pill, and his cultivation erupted at that moment.
Strands of true energy, as indestructible as silk threads, directly divided the Revitalizing Purple Pill into a hundred parts!
This was his idea just now.
Since the system could repair damaged items, could he divide a complete item and then use system points to restore each part?
In this way, he could get many identical items and even upgrade them!
Unexpectedly, this idea could actually be realized!
"Young Master?!"
Seeing Xiao Chen suddenly erupt with his cultivation and directly divide the Revitalizing Purple Pill, Cai Yan was immediately stunned.
Even if the Revitalizing Purple Pill was a bit inferior, it didn't seem necessary to destroy it, right?
Could it be... the Young Master was going to perform some unprecedented refining technique?
As thoughts turned in her mind, Cai Yan seemed to think of something and held back from speaking.
She just stared at Xiao Chen intently, afraid of missing any exciting details.
"System, restore this piece of the Revitalizing Purple Pill to completeness!"
Under Cai Yan's puzzled and speculative gaze, Xiao Chen then put away the fragments of the Revitalizing Purple Pill, leaving only one piece for restoration.
"Ding! The system has deducted twenty thousand points and is restoring the Revitalizing Purple Pill for the host..."
Almost as soon as Xiao Chen's words fell, the system prompt sounded, making Xiao Chen's eyes widen.
"Hiss... It actually costs twenty thousand points?!"
Buzz!!
Almost as Xiao Chen was shocked, dazzling white light burst forth.
Immediately after.
In a flash of purple light, a brand new Revitalizing Purple Pill appeared before Xiao Chen.
"Young Master, you actually used a fragment of the pill to forge a new one out of thin air?!"
Seeing this scene, even as a Heavenly Being Realm expert, Cai Yan was almost scared faint by Xiao Chen.
This near-creation out of thin air was beyond her understanding.
If she didn't have a bit of self-control, she might have knelt down and worshipped Xiao Chen on the spot.
This was simply a divine method, even the Great Emperor was nothing compared to this!
"System, does it always cost this many points to restore a pill?"
Xiao Chen ignored Cai Yan's excited and flushed face and asked the system this vexing question in his mind.
"Ding! The points consumed by the system are based on the grade of the target item and its degree of damage."
"The higher the quality and the greater the damage, the more points are consumed."
As Xiao Chen looked pained, the system replied mechanically.
"Alright then..."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen understood the key point.
Dividing a complete item into a hundred parts, taking out one part, and then restoring it to completeness.
This method was almost no different from re-refining.
Just like when he restored Murong Bo before, whose cultivation had reached the second realm of Mystic Mastery and was on the verge of collapse.
Restoring all of his injuries and old ailments was equivalent to re-forging him.
So it also cost more than twenty thousand points before.
"Although the cost is a bit high, this operation is still insane!"
Looking at the Revitalizing Purple Pill in his hand, which now had a much richer medicinal fragrance, Xiao Chen showed a satisfied expression.
This pill should be able to restore a high-level expert's cultivation to the second realm of Mystic Mastery!
However, to restore Cai Yan to the ninth realm of Heavenly Being, a seventh-rank low-grade Revitalizing Purple Pill wouldn't suffice.
"System, upgrade this Revitalizing Purple Pill to eighth-rank top-grade!"
After a moment of contemplation.
Xiao Chen ordered the system, forming a series of hand seals and then pointing at the pill.
"Ding! The system has deducted thirty-two thousand points and is upgrading the Revitalizing Purple Pill for the host!"
As the system prompt fell, dazzling white light flashed again.
The originally dim Revitalizing Purple Pill burst forth with brilliant purple light.
Strands of pill patterns, like spider webs, instantly condensed on the pill.
The vast medicinal power wave swept out like a tsunami, making Cai Yan's eyes widen in shock.
This was actually an eighth-rank top-grade pill, infinitely close to a Sacred Rank treasure!
In the Seven Great Empires of the Eastern Wilderness, this was almost a legendary item!
Once it appeared, it could shake the entire Eastern Wilderness and cause many Heavenly Being Realm experts to fight over it.
Unexpectedly, she could witness the birth of an eighth-rank top-grade pill with her own eyes.
Even more outrageous...
This eighth-rank top-grade pill was casually refined by Xiao Chen.
Although Cai Yan had never seen a Sacred Rank alchemist.
She had a strong intuition that even a Sacred Rank alchemy grandmaster couldn't do what Xiao Chen did!
Young Master...
He was truly astonishing!
"An eighth-rank top-grade pill, equivalent to a top-grade Heavenly Rank, only cost thirty-two thousand points, which is still acceptable."
Looking at the eighth-rank top-grade Revitalizing Purple Pill in front of him, which could drive the world mad.
Xiao Chen's expression remained calm, and after muttering to himself, he casually waved his hand, sending the pill to Cai Yan.
"Here, this eighth-rank top-grade Revitalizing Purple Pill should restore your peak cultivation."
His casual demeanor made it seem as if the eighth-rank top-grade pill was just a candy to pacify a child.
This left Cai Yan stunned.
She remembered that when her cultivation reached the ninth realm of Mystic Mastery, she fought with a group of human experts for three days and nights to snatch a Heavenly Rank pill.
And that pill, which nearly cost her life, was at most a mid-grade Heavenly Rank.
But now...
She had obtained an eighth-rank top-grade pill, far more precious than the previous one, without any effort.
This left her feeling complex.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Seeing Cai Yan's trembling gaze fixed on him, Xiao Chen felt a bit creeped out and asked in bewilderment.
This woman's sudden terrifying look made it seem like she wanted to eat him.
Could it be that she was bewitched by the pill and planned to dissect him to seize his fortune?!
As Xiao Chen's words fell.
Cai Yan came back to her senses, her eyes showing a hint of determination as if she had made a decision.
She then removed her veil, revealing her stunning beauty.
Enjoy the peerless beauty of the Medusa Queen.
