Chapter 2406 — Simulated Pill Refining
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"That's true..." Wei Zhao said. "By the way, how much true qi would refining a third-grade pill take? If we refined just one, would our combined true qi be enough?"
"Probably not." Han Jingyi shook her head. "Jingjing has calculated it in her spare time too. The true qi needed to refine one third-grade pill is at least five times what it takes to refine one second-grade pill..."
"Five times..." Wei Zhao drew a sharp breath. It seemed that no one short of a Heaven-rank expert could refine one, for the drain on true qi was simply too enormous.
Wei Zhao could only set aside this impractical notion for the time being. If refining one third-grade pill took exactly the sum of their combined true qi, or slightly more, he could have accepted it.
After all, once Wei Zhao's own true qi was spent, Han Jingyi's body still held a great deal of true qi, and while Han Jingyi's true qi was being consumed, Wei Zhao could quickly restore his own with the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art. But that method could not be used in succession.
Because Han Jingyi's true qi could only sustain one round. Once Wei Zhao's restored true qi was exhausted again, Han Jingyi would have no true qi left to draw on, and the refining would fail because it had stopped.
According to Han Jingyi, after refining a single second-grade pill she was already rather spent, which meant her stamina was only enough for one second-grade pill. Add Wei Zhao's two portions of true qi to her one, and that made only three times. Even if Wei Zhao had somewhat more true qi than Han Jingyi, the amount of true qi held by an expert at the peak of the mid-Earth rank and one at the early Earth rank truly did not differ by much.
After all, only a gap of a full major rank produced a difference like heaven and earth; between minor ranks the difference was not very great.
So there was no way to reach five times, unless another person like Wei Zhao stood by as a substitute, continuing to drive Heaven-Sent Spring Rain to sustain Han Jingyi's refining. Otherwise, for the moment Wei Zhao could think of no other solution.
"Maybe it won't take that much..." Seeing Wei Zhao's disappointment, Han Jingyi hurried to say, "It's just that Jingjing's level is too low right now. She can barely condense a third-grade pill fire, but she cannot change the fire's size or temperature, so she has no way to simulate and calculate in finer detail exactly how much true qi a third-grade pill requires!"
