Giant Pill

Giant Pill 
== Pill Emperor Competition ==
The pill halo was very simple, but the pill itself was the size of a baby's fist. This was an extremely rare giant pill.
Giant pills were something alchemists might never refine even in their entire lives. Refining a giant pill was dozens of times more exhausting on the soul than ordinary pills, and the chances of failure were over a hundred times greater.
That was why giant pills were things many people had heard of, but most people had never seen.
Giant pills had condensed all the essence of nine pills into one. But the giant pills' energy would be over ten times greater than the original nine pills combined.
== Blood Giant Pill ==
LC made his first giant pill for Little Snow.
This fist-sized giant pill had a red halo of light on top of it. Bursts of medicinal fragrance filled his nose, but there was a slight bloody smell coming from within it.
"It's actually high grade."
Long Chen carefully examined this giant pill. This was his first time refining a giant pill.
In Long Chen's memories, there were very few medicinal formulas for giant pills, and they were extremely difficult to refine. He was startled to see his crazy and foolish method had ended up succeeding.
The formulas for giant pills in his memories were all for the seventh tier and higher medicinal pills. As for this giant pill in his hand, it was obviously not able to compare to those.
He didn't know what tier this giant pill had reached, but the fact that he had managed to condense it meant that the Xiantian blood's essence had been fully activated, and it would have at least ten times the effect.
That was the most terrifying aspect of pill cultivators. Most rare medicinal ingredients had their own special effects. But if you were to directly eat them, you would only be able to absorb perhaps twenty percent of the medicinal energy.
The rest of the essence would all be wasted. But after an alchemist's purifications, as well as the support of other medicinal ingredients, then the medicinal ingredient's effect would be multiplied once it was refined into a pill.
However, in this era, most pill formulas were passed down from ancient times. The current era's alchemists were only refining medicinal pills in accordance with those old pill formulas. All they knew how to do was follow, without being able to innovate.
For the tests to advance alchemists tiers, the test was often to refine a medicinal pill. However, they often did not tell you the exact proportions of medicinal ingredients to use for that pill. That made those tests incredibly difficult for most alchemists.
If the proportions were wrong, then it could easily cause a furnace explosion or just result in a bunch of trash pills. Furthermore, if they perhaps used the wrong medicinal ingredient, then it would be absolutely impossible for them to refine the pill.
Long Chen had used his crazy imagination to theorize this medicinal pill from the principles contained within his Pill Emperor memories. He had theorized that he should be able to succeed. But in truth, the chance of him succeeding had been less than ten percent.
Furthermore, since he had refined a giant pill, the difficulty had increased by a hundred times. The fact that he had successfully refined this giant pill meant that Long Chen's prayer had worked: the heavens really had been blind.
"What powerful essence. Can this thing really be consumed?"
Seeing the forceful energy within that giant pill, Long Chen couldn't help being worried.
A giant pill wasn't as simple as just being large. The medicinal essence contained within it was at least dozens of times greater than an ordinary medicinal pill. In Long Chen's memory, most giant pills weren't directly consumed.
A giant pill contained dozens of times more energy than medicinal pills of the same rank. Normally, that was a good thing. But now it wasn't. Long Chen was afraid Little Snow wouldn't be able to handle it.
