Just like the Qi Blood Pill, currently within the association, only top-grade True Qi Pills can be refined.

However, unlike the Qi Blood Pill, even with a skill level reaching the Perfection Realm, the probability of refining a top-grade True Qi Pill is less than thirty percent. Usually, a cauldron of True Qi Pills yields only two pills, which is quite rare.

Similar to how the higher the quality of the Qi Blood Pill, the more qi and blood it can enhance; the quality of a True Qi Pill also determines the amount of True Qi replenished after consumption.

A low-grade True Qi Pill can roughly restore fifty strands of True Qi, possibly a bit more or less, but generally around that range.

Therefore, even a Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artist who has made a breakthrough for some time should not consume an entire True Qi Pill directly, as it could potentially burst their meridians and cause life-threatening danger.

A middle-grade True Qi Pill can roughly restore two hundred strands of True Qi. This large amount of True Qi can nearly fully restore a mid-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist.

Of course, everything has two sides.

The total amount of True Qi restored is much higher than that of a low-grade True Qi Pill, so the time required will naturally be much longer.

However, the speed of True Qi restoration varies from person to person, even if they are cultivating the same Heart Method. The restoration speed can differ greatly due to the disparity in the Heart Method’s level.

A top-grade True Qi Pill can provide up to one thousand strands of True Qi!

Even a late-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist only has a total True Qi amount of one or two thousand strands. Two top-grade True Qi Pills can fully restore their True Qi.

Crucially, top-grade True Qi Pills not only help late-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artists break through the last two meridians but also provide a source of True Qi for True Essence Realm Martial Artists. By compressing this True Qi into True Essence and storing it in the dantian, the more True Qi obtained, the more True Essence is converted, thus enhancing strength!

Therefore, the top-grade True Qi Pills refined within the association are primarily supplied to several True Essence Realm Martial Artists, such as President Shi Tao and Vice President Chang Fei.

It is imaginable that even an increase of ten percent in the probability of producing top-grade True Qi Pills would be a significant improvement for the association!

Thinking of this, Elder Tang took a deep breath, looking at Chang Fei, "Is that even possible?"

Over the past year, the other seniors in the association have worked tirelessly to increase the probability of top-grade True Qi Pills from ten percent to twenty percent.

"Who knows?"

Chang Fei smiled, "Just like this time, Elder Tang, you and I would never have imagined that a young man from a small place like Anshan City could perfect the Qi Blood Pill formula to this extent."

Elder Tang was stunned.

Yes, until the pills were produced, he never believed Chen Fan could do it.

The result? Not only did he refine a cauldron of top-grade Qi Blood Pills, but he even produced a Celestial Grade pill.

To put it bluntly, he wouldn’t dare dream of such a feat.

"In any case, Elder Tang, let’s wait and see." Chang Fei smiled.

He was genuinely looking forward to seeing Chen Fan improve the True Qi Pill formula.

Even if he couldn’t produce an entire cauldron of top-grade True Qi Pills, even without any top-grade pills, as long as he could significantly increase the probability of top-grade True Qi Pills, it would be enough.

With enough top-grade True Qi Pills, the president might soon break through to the Celestial Realm!

Next to him, Elder Tang furrowed his brows deeply.

Hope so.

Though he felt the hope was slim.

...

In the Anshan City Branch.

Looking at the dark screen, Xia Tian turned his gaze to Chen Fan.

"Brother Chen, wouldn’t you reconsider? With your talent, developing at the headquarters is the best choice."

"Yes, Brother Chen." Ye Ling’s lips moved slightly.

She feared that if a crisis broke out in Anshan City after they left, even if they received the news and rushed back immediately, it might be too late.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I’ve decided." Chen Fan smiled at them.

"Sigh."

Xia Tian and Ye Ling shared a helpless, puzzled look.

"Elders, isn’t it time for the assessment?"

Xia Tian and Ye Ling were stunned, then smiled wryly.

Yes,

Their purpose here was to conduct Chen Fan’s Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artist assessment, wasn’t it?

However, they never expected that someone who appeared to be a Martial Artist was also an extraordinary alchemist.

"Alright, Brother Chen, the assessment is simple, similar to the Entry Force assessment. Just let me feel the True Qi in your body." Xia Tian said seriously, with an added element of earnestness in his eyes.

If Chen Fan truly was a Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artist, his aptitude in martial arts would be unparalleled.

"You just need to sense the True Qi in my body?"

"Yes, Brother Chen, if you can’t control the True Qi within, just tell us its location, and we can use our True Qi to detect it," Ye Ling explained.

After all, as long as there was a trace of Qi Sensing within, it would be considered as being in the Meridian Refining Realm.

"No need for all that trouble."

Chen Fan smiled, looking at Xia Tian, "Elder Xia, I’m going to act now."

Xia Tian was briefly stunned and somewhat surprised, "Alright, go ahead."

Chen Fan lifted his right hand and pushed out a palm.

A force of the palm surged forward.

From over a meter away, the clothes on Xia Tian’s body fluttered sharply.

But soon, the commotion gradually died down until it seemed as if nothing had occurred.

"True Qi Release!"

Xia Tian exclaimed in shock, eyes wide with amazement.

Beside him, Ye Ling was also dumbfounded.

She initially thought they would need to touch Chen Fan’s body to utilize their True Qi to detect inside or that Chen Fan might control his True Qi to transfer it to them.

But in the end, Chen Fan actually used True Qi Release!

Had he just broken through to the Meridian Refining Realm?

Sun Wei was equally stunned.

As far as he remembered, True Qi Release was something only mid-stage Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artists could achieve.

Embarrassed by their stares, Chen Fan chuckled, "Well, to be honest, I’ve already unlocked the first four meridians."

He didn’t think there was anything to hide about this level of attainment. Saying it now would make his future breakthrough to True Essence Realm seem more acceptable.

"No wonder."

Xia Tian suddenly realized, but his eyes still held disbelief.

So, Chen Fan was already a mid-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist?

Such a young mid-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist?

Ye Ling was speechless.

Because she also was just a mid-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist...

As for Sun Wei, he seemed to have figured things out.

No wonder Brother Chen could kill high-level fierce beasts as easily as chickens; he was already a mid-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist, after all?

That would mean Brother Chen had no need to fear Qin Ye who was only an early-stage Meridian Refining Martial Artist.

No, not necessarily.

After all, two fists couldn’t fend off four hands. The chamber didn’t just have Qin Ye as its sole Meridian Refining Martial Artist, and they had Awakeners backing them.

"Brother Chen, I never thought your alchemy skills far outpaced ours, and your martial arts talent also leaves us in the dust."

Xia Tian sighed softly.

"Yes, now you’re on par with me in terms of the realm, and you may surpass me soon," Ye Ling smiled bitterly.

"You flatter me, elders. I just have better luck." Chen Fan smiled at Xia Tian, "Elder Xia, I should have passed the assessment, right?"

"Of course."

Xia Tian smiled wryly.

If this didn’t count as passing the assessment, what would?

"Brother Chen, rest assured, I will promptly report the result. In less than half an hour, your information will be updated, and you can use your contribution points to purchase items."

Hearing this, Chen Fan’s smile grew wider.

He had been waiting for this.

Pill formulas were one thing, but according to common sense, those within the Martial Arts Association couldn’t compare with those in the Awakened Association.

What he really valued were consumables.

Such as the herbs for refining True Qi Pills and weaponry.

Compared to the Awakened Association, this could save quite a bit of contribution points.

"Oh, Brother Chen, we have good news for you."

Ye Ling smiled mysteriously, "Upon reaching the Meridian Refining Realm, Martial Artists unlock new items."

"Oh?"

Chen Fan was pleased. Could it be?

"Some are heavenly materials and earthly treasures and other special items," said the straightforward Xia Tian.

"These heavenly materials and earthly treasures can enhance the body, such as improving constitution, increasing power, boosting speed, and even enhancing Spirit and the True Qi within Martial Artists,

The special items are crafted by the Awakeners in the Awakened Association. They include things like space items, teleportation talismans, protective talismans, etc. As you ranked first last month in contribution points, you can choose one from the special items."

Chen Fan felt an uneasy sense.

It turned out that the special reward Sun Wei mentioned referred to this?

He was right.

There were three special items as mentioned by Xia Tian,

Option one, a medium space item with a storage space of 1 cubic meter.

Option two, a small protective talisman, able to withstand one attack from a high-level fierce beast,

Option three, a small teleportation talisman, capable of instant teleportation up to 500 meters, ignoring obstacles.

"Brother Chen, these three items were painstakingly acquired from the Awakened Association. They are invaluable. You can choose any one of them. If you don’t have a space item, I recommend the first option. Though it doesn’t store much, it is very convenient."

"A space item..." Sun Wei’s eyes were filled with envy.

Not just the space item, but the other two options as well.

Chen Fan, however, felt like crying.
