Chapter 227: The Auction 4
"How is that possible?" the alchemist murmured, his voice trembling.
Noticing the alchemist’s reaction, the crowd gasped, assuming the result was just as the auctioneer had claimed.
"His energy is fully recovered, and his cultivation has even improved slightly—how is that possible?!" the alchemist exclaimed, turning to the auctioneer. "How did the energy replenishment pill turn out like this?!"
Hearing the alchemist’s words, the crowd trembled. If the pill could completely replenish an entire cultivator’s energy, it essentially gave them a second chance at survival.
This pill is typically consumed when cultivators need rapid energy replenishment, such as during emergencies like a fight. Battles between cultivators of the same level often take time to conclude due to their equal strength. The only factor that differentiates them is their energy management. The first person to run out of energy is usually the first to fall.
The issue with energy replenishment pills is that they only restore a small percentage of the energy within the dantian. They can never fully replenish the dantian’s entire energy capacity.
This limitation exists because alchemists cannot fully purify the ingredients used to concoct the pills. Even the most "excellent" energy replenishment pills can only restore up to 50% of the dantian’s energy at best, and not all pills can achieve that level. Only those crafted by the most skilled grandmasters can reach such quality. Most pills available on the market typically replenish between 5% and 50% of energy.
That is the case for common energy replenishment pills. However, if there were a pill capable of fully replenishing a cultivator’s energy, it would likely belong to the legendary Unblemished tier—a level of alchemy that has been lost to time. This remains only a theory, as no one has ever successfully concocted an Unblemished pill.
Now that a pill capable of fully replenishing energy has appeared—and with six stripes, something never seen before—they understood the significant implications it could have. For King-stage cultivators, this pill essentially allows them to fight indefinitely, as long as their bodies can endure. In the pill market, its introduction would revolutionize the energy replenishment segment for King-stage cultivators. The Alchemist Association would solidify its dominance in this market, leaving no room for competitors.
