Chapter 36

“Babies, I just prepared all the necessary herbs for the second-grade pills. Based on my previous records, refining two batches of second-grade pills will consume about 60% of my mental energy.”

“In the past, to avoid physical discomfort, I wouldn’t have attempted to refine two batches of second-grade pills in one live broadcast. But today, to test the Jade Dew Pills, I’m going all in.”

“Enough talk, let’s start.”

Li Huan said, immediately beginning to refine the pills.

While refining, she also explained to the viewers how she was preparing the pills.

As the process continued, viewers could see the mental energy displayed above Li Huan’s head constantly decreasing.

Some viewers commented in the barrage.

“So it turns out that refining a batch of pills consumes so much mental energy. Looks like being a pill master isn’t easy!”

“Li Huan’s mental energy has reached the mid-B rank, so she can refine two batches of second-grade pills in a row. As for me, my mental energy is just barely B rank, and I can’t even manage one batch without struggling.”

“I really hope the Jade Dew Pills work for us B-rank females. If they do, we can refine more pills every day and increase our strength faster.”

“If the Jade Dew Pills really work for females, I’ll buy more. My mom and little sister could use them too!”

“With the Jade Dew Pills, the speed at which a pill master improves will definitely be faster, right?”

“They could improve faster, but they’ll need money for that. Didn’t you see the price of Jade Dew Pills in the pill store? Although it’s only second-grade, it’s harder to refine than many first-grade pills and requires a mid-tier pill master. When the pills are ready, the price won’t be cheap.”

The barrage was filled with concerns about the price of the pills.

Li Huan saw the comments and thought to herself that the Jade Dew Pills she bought were only 2,000 star coins each, which wasn’t expensive at all.

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but feel that Lord Chu Ning was truly a great person.

All the pills in her store were sold at very low prices.

Soon, Li Huan finished refining the first batch of pills.

As she had predicted, her mental energy had dropped by about one-tenth.

After finishing the first batch, she didn’t stop and immediately began refining the second batch.

The second batch went similarly to the first. After refining, her mental energy had dropped again, reaching one-tenth of its peak.

“Now, I’m starting the third batch of pills. I’ll push through and finish this batch.” Li Huan said to the viewers, also encouraging herself.

“Don’t worry, I’m here.” At that moment, Li Yu patted her shoulder.

Li Huan gave him a reassuring look, finally not holding a grudge against him.

As Li Huan channeled her mental energy, the third batch began refining.

Her mental energy continued to decrease.

At the same time, when the percentage of her mental energy dropped to less than 80% of its peak, beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead, and her face started to pale.

Li Yu anxiously stared at Li Huan, quickly taking a Jade Dew Pill from a bottle, ready to feed it to her at any moment.

Li Huan, in poor condition, didn’t pay attention to the live broadcast anymore. She gritted her teeth and continued to push her mental energy into the pill furnace.

After a while, feeling dizzy, Li Huan finally finished the batch.

“Okay—done.” Li Huan’s body softened as her mental energy was exhausted, and she collapsed.

At that moment, her mental energy had dropped to 3165, about 5% of its peak.

Li Yu acted quickly, catching her and immediately shoved a Jade Dew Pill into her mouth.

He didn’t forget to activate the timer with a look.

The live broadcast screen clearly showed the changes in Li Huan’s mental energy.

After Li Huan swallowed the Jade Dew Pill, the numbers above her head began to increase rapidly.

In just 10 seconds, Li Huan’s mental energy returned to its peak.

Then, Li Huan stood up as if nothing had happened, pushing Li Yu away.

“Whew—feeling refreshed!” Li Huan exhaled and said with relief.

She then wiped the sweat from her face with a towel, turning to face the camera.

“Babies, I can now confirm that the Jade Dew Pills are not only effective for B-rank beastmen but also for B-rank females!”

“Just now, I felt like I was about to collapse, but after taking a Jade Dew Pill, it instantly nourished my body, and my mental energy and strength came back right away!”

“I’ve never encountered such a miraculous pill before. I want to say, the person who created the formula for Jade Dew Pills is truly a genius!”

“I, Li Huan, will be a loyal fan of Lord Chu Ning from now on!”

The barrage exploded with excitement.

“It really works for females too! The streamer’s mental energy was only at 5% just now, and after taking the pill, it only took 10 seconds for her mental energy to return to its peak!”

“Not only did her mental energy recover, but her physical strength did too! Amazing! No wonder it’s the strongest second-grade pill!”

“This pill can really save lives in critical moments! Beastmen can take one on the battlefield, and it’s like having an extra life!”

“Not just beastmen, pill masters can use it to save themselves too! If they’re not careful while refining and overuse their mental energy, taking this pill can quickly restore it and prevent accidents!”

“Ah, where can I buy Jade Dew Pills?!”

“Same here, I need them! I want to buy 100 bottles!”

“10 bottles for me!”

“50 bottles!”

“Please, streamer, put Jade Dew Pills up for sale!”

“Everyone, don’t rush, the patent for Jade Dew Pills hasn’t been released yet. We still need to ask the streamer to contact Lord Chu Ning to open up the patent authorization as soon as possible!”

As soon as this comment appeared, many others quickly followed, urging Li Huan to contact Chu Ning to release the patent.

Li Huan saw this and couldn’t help but smile.

“I see everyone’s requests. After the broadcast, I will contact Lord Chu Ning.”

“Since he applied for the patent for Jade Dew Pills, he will definitely release the patent authorization eventually.”

Just as Li Huan finished speaking, the barrage changed.

“Can the streamer tell Lord Chu Ning to ask the pill merchants and organizations that buy the patent rights to not set the price of the pills too high? Pills like Jade Dew Pills are needed by both females and beastmen. The price should be reasonable so more people can buy them!”

“I really hope Jade Dew Pills can be a more affordable pill.”

“Sob, I hope the poor me can afford to buy Jade Dew Pills.”

“Stop the moral pressure, alright? Who knows what Chu Ning had to go through to create the formula for Jade Dew Pills? And besides, the price isn’t just up to him. The pill merchants and organizations will evaluate the raw materials and refining difficulty. The final price will depend on the market. If you want a price reduction, it would only happen if Chu Ning voluntarily lowers the patent fee. But no one has the right to ask him to do that!”

“Agreed, the patent fees should go to the pill masters. Protecting patents and rewarding the inventors is the whole point of the patent system. Otherwise, why would anyone waste money and effort on research and development?”
