I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 676 New Pill Effect Test

Seeing that Yuan Qi's expression had calmed down, Su Mo looked at the two jade bottles on the table.

She reached out and picked up the lighter-colored one on the right, uncorked it, and used her magic to lift one of the pills out of the bottle, suspending it in front of her for careful observation.

The pale blue pill had a thin silver ring around its surface, and apart from a faint medicinal fragrance, it had no other unusual aura.

"Can eating this enhance mental strength talent?" Su Mo asked again, uncertainly after observing.

Faced with his apprentice's questioning, Yuan Qi did not explain, but only said, "Try taking one and you'll know."

"The ingredients for this pill must be hard to come by, right?" Su Mo hesitated.

The list Yuan Qi gave her contained many extremely precious natural treasures, some of which she didn't have and required the association and civilian hunting teams to help find and collect.

Su Mo herself knew her own situation; her spiritual core was already very strong and stable. Whether this pill would be effective for her, and whether the effect would be obvious, was the reason she hesitated to take it.

Is it possible that these talent-enhancing elixirs work better for those with lower aptitude?

She didn't want to waste her time testing drugs herself.

That's what Su Mo thought, and that's what she told Yuan Qi.

"The materials are indeed rare, but I still have some here, and I can refine some more later. The difficulty of these two kinds of pills lies in the refining method."

"Don't worry about what you're saying. The effect of this pill isn't a fixed amount; it depends on probability and has nothing to do with the user's original talent."

"To be honest, it probably has something to do with luck."

"If you want to know more, just find more people to test the drug on."

Yuan Qi explained for a while, then sighed softly as if thinking of something, and said, "For now, this is all I can do."

Su Mo pursed her lips.

So, the so-called "opportunity" to improve one's mental talent means that the effect is random, right?

However, since that was the case, Su Mo didn't have so many concerns. She directly swallowed the pill that was floating in front of her and waited to see how her luck would be.

As always, it melts in your mouth.

Su Mo closed his eyes and regulated his breathing to digest the medicinal effects.

Yuan Qi waited quietly for the result, and with a wave of his hand, he used the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique to refill the teapot, which was already empty.

As Yuan Qi cast his spell, a gentle breeze stirred within the pavilion.

At this moment, Su Mo felt her spiritual core trembling slightly, plunging her into a mysterious and indescribable feeling. Her spiritual core was changing, but the change only occurred internally and did not even trigger the spiritual energy in the surrounding environment.

Everything happened within Su Mo's sea of ​​consciousness, and it didn't last long before disappearing.

This was a feeling Su Mo had never experienced before. Ever since she possessed the spiritual core, unless she actively blocked it, the surrounding spiritual energy would react to any movement of the spiritual core.

It's just magical.

Now that the results are in, Su Mo pursed his lips and sighed, "Looks like my luck isn't so good right now."

Yuan Qi frowned.

"Isn't it working well?"

"Just a little bit, not much." Su Mo pursed her lips and gestured with her finger to show him a very small distance.

Yuan Qi "..."

Su Mo didn't dwell on the outcome; she reached for the other jade bottle.

According to what Yuan Qi just said, the effect of the pill in this bottle is to enhance the affinity of the five elements.

Su Mo took out one to examine it. The pill was pure red, without any other patterns or flaws, and it was very plump.

Yuan Qi said, "This pill comes in five different colors. The one you have is the fire element one."

Su Mo nodded; this was not hard to understand.

But Yuan Qi continued speaking.

"If we use 100 points to define elemental affinity, then for those below 80 points, taking one of these pills can steadily increase their affinity by 1 point, and the effects are cumulative."

"If you want to improve after scoring 80 points, you need to take the highest quality product to have any chance of getting results."

This effect was specially formulated by Yuan Qi when he was researching the elixir formula, and it was also due to the addition of a medicinal herb called "jointed grass" from Blue Star.

Su Mo nodded again, indicating that he understood.

At that moment, another thought came to her mind.

Even in Suzu, the attribute of affinity cannot be given such standardized data; it can only be divided into high, medium, and low ranges.

But now an opportunity is in front of us.

Su Mo can get a rough estimate by comparing his own experience before and after taking the product.

Therefore, we still need to conduct drug trials first.

Su Mo put the red pill back and chose a golden one instead.

Among the five elements, her understanding of metal is the weakest, and her affinity is also the lowest, so she definitely didn't score 80 points.

The pill was very effective. As soon as Su Mo took it, she immediately felt that the gold element in the surrounding environment was more active. Tiny golden particles gathered towards her and entered her body.

This state doesn't last long because the effects of the medicine have worn off.

Su Mo was able to feel the difference between before and after.

Under Yuan Qi's watchful gaze, she took two more pills in succession, one green with the wood attribute and the other light blue with the water attribute.

She hasn't taken any pills with fire or earth attributes yet.

After three verifications, Su Mo obtained a rough estimate: if the increased affinity after taking one pill is counted as 1 point.

Before taking the elixir, her affinity with the five elements was 39 for metal, 45 for wood, 45 for water, 80 for fire, and 63 for earth.

Now, thanks to the effects of the elixir, all three elements (metal, wood, and water) have increased by one point.

"Master, this pill is excellent!" Su Mo praised.

Not only can it steadily enhance affinity, but it can also allow humans on Earth to have a clearer understanding of their affinity for elements.

She also told Yuan Qi about her discovery, adding a final note.

"I recently created three fire-attribute martial arts techniques. If awakened individuals with high fire elemental affinity use them, the effects will definitely be even better!"

Yes, any awakened individual can learn and use mental martial arts techniques, but not everyone can achieve the same effect. Previously, people thought that the difference in the effect depended on the awakened individual's proficiency with the martial arts technique.

Now there's another one: element affinity.

It has a higher affinity and stronger martial arts effects.

Previously, humans on Earth did not have a specific concept of elemental affinity. At most, some awakened individuals had more outstanding abilities in planting and cultivation than others. These awakened individuals were summarized as having a greater affinity for plants, but in fact, they had a higher affinity for the wood element.

Yuan Qi was not as excited as Su Mo. He said calmly, "The main ingredient for refining this pill is the Five Elements Spiritual Essence."

It should be noted that the Five Elements Spiritual Essence is an extremely rare and precious natural treasure, even in Suzhou.

Su Mo: "..."

She fell silent.

Su Mo still had the Five Elements Spiritual Marrow. She had indeed dug up quite a lot of it back in the Thunder Domain, but it was clearly not enough to mass-produce this kind of pill.

Moreover, the Five Elements Spiritual Essence has many uses, and Su Mo cannot possibly use too much of it for refining pills until he obtains more Five Elements Spiritual Essence.
