Pill with Pill Veins and Pill Clouds

"Little Fluffy, if I'm unlucky and fail in refining the pill, can I get a refund?" James asked Little Fluffy about refining the peak rank 8 breakthrough pill.

Because, unlike the 100% success rate in weapon refinement, pill refinement had a 99% chance of success. 

That was why he had delayed refining the pill and instead ordered Little Fluffy to refine the weapon, because if he were unlucky and failed, he might become angry and disrupt his plan. 

"No, how could you become such a coward? You should be grateful the chance is as high as 99%. If an alchemist knows that you could refine a pill with a 99% chance of success and still hesitate, I'm 100% sure they would kill you in anger." Little Fluffy rolled his eyes. 

"Okay then, when they give the money, let's refine the remaining materials and directly auction some of them again." James suggested. 

After a while, the waitress came with the wine that he had ordered. 

'The wine is actually pretty good, but it's definitely worse than the wine from Old Bai before.' James thought as he tasted the wine. 

Approximately 15 minutes after the waitress delivered the wine, Old Bai finally approached him with a smile on his face.

He immediately surrounded the table with his power so that no one could hear their conversation. 

"The sword's quality is indeed on par with the midrank 9 sword, even though its rank is only peak rank 8. I apologize for doubting you before, as I have never encountered a sword of such quality.

From what I know, a peak rank 8 sword can at most be comparable to a low rank 9 sword and that's already considered the best quality sword on the market. That's why I needed to check it thoroughly first."

Old Bai cupped his fists, and bowed slightly, apologizing for doubting James's statement before. 

"Hmmph, what an ignorant person. You can sit first before we talk about anything else." James snorted and let the old man sit before continuing the conversation, as it was actually considered rude to sit before being invited.

Which was why the Old Bai had been standing and waiting for James's permission, unlike James, who had sat down immediately earlier to build an impression and boost his plan.

"Here is the half money from the sword and the three sets of materials you requested before." Old Bai tossed a space ring at James, and sat down.

James caught the ring and instructed Little Fluffy to check the items and money. 

"There are 100 peak rank 8 beast cores with different attributes, and there are no problems with the materials." Little Fluffy said. 

James immediately ordered Little Fluffy to refine the two armors, two pills, and the last sword with the fire attribute.

[Ding! Two peak rank 8 beast cores have been successfully deducted.] 

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully refined the peak rank 8 sword with the fire attribute.] 

[Ding! Two peak rank 8 beast cores have been successfully deducted.] 

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully refined the peak rank 8 armor with the fire attribute.] 

[Ding! Two peak rank 8 beast cores have been successfully deducted.] 

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully refined the peak rank 8 armor with the water attribute.] 

... 

As James heard the notifications, he smiled and placed the peak rank 8 armor with the water attribute on the table.

"Here's another treasure I want to auction. The quality is the same as the sword. You can check it if you want, and I want half the money upfront like before, after you check the quality." 

Old Bai's eyes lit up as he saw another treasure of the same quality as the sword.

He immediately picked up the armor and inspected it carefully before saying, 

"There's no need to check it thoroughly like before, as I trust young master James's character." 

After placing the armor into his space ring, Old Bai asked with a smile, "Is there anything else you want to auction?" 

James touched his chin, pretending to think about something before he checked the pill section of his inventory.

He was shocked to see six pills in his inventory when he had only refined the breakthrough pills using two sets of materials. 

He quickly checked the notifications and finally knew the reason why he had six breakthrough pills, with two each of the three different types.

The reason why James hadn't noticed the pill refining notifications before was that he hadn't checked all of them, as he wanted to show a quick response, showing that he would immediately offer another item without much thought after receiving the money. 

[Ding! Two peak rank 8 beast cores have been successfully deducted.] 

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully refined two of the peak rank 8 breakthrough pills.] 

[Ding! Two peak rank 8 beast cores have been successfully deducted.] 

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully refined two of the peak rank 8 breakthrough pills with pill veins.] 

[Ding! Two peak rank 8 beast cores have been successfully deducted.] 

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully refined two of the peak rank 8 breakthrough pills with pill clouds.] 

When James saw the notifications, he was puzzled, as each of the three pills was different according to the descriptions.

He then quickly read the information about the pills to understand the differences, especially between the pills with pill veins and pill clouds.
