Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 785 The Witch's Money Printing Machine, The Wonderful Uses of the Tree of Life!

"This is incredible!" Cao Xing exclaimed.

It's important to know that most equipment, when of the same quality, has roughly the same attributes.

The difference lies in the additional effects mentioned above.

Now, ice-type equipment crafted using this forging hammer can not only significantly improve attributes, but also add at least two powerful additional effects.

In other words, the equipment forged with this forging hammer, even if it is only of green quality, has attributes that are no less than those of purple quality equipment of the same level!

It can be used to forge legendary equipment, making it even more powerful.

This gives you an idea of ​​just how powerful this forging hammer must be.

"This is insane... This way, even if you mass-produce green equipment with a hammer, you can sell it for the price of purple equipment."

"The profit can be tens or even hundreds of times!"

After all, given Harold's current forging efficiency, he can forge hundreds of green-quality equipment pieces a day, and even one or two hundred blue-quality equipment pieces.

If you put these items on the market, they'll definitely cause a frenzy among the survivors!
However, after the initial excitement, Cao Xing felt a pang of regret: "It's a pity that this thing can't be used before the soul binding is broken."

"The two legendary items that Harold was crafting also happened to have the attribute of ice, otherwise they could have been used."

At this moment, another idea arose in Cao Xing's mind.

“I remember… last time, during the process of opening the Ancient Moon Treasure Chest, I activated a [Crack Chip], which was used to remove the binding effect of the [Demon Codex].

"Next, after the ruins close for the rest of the time, I should be able to collect quite a few black jars from the survivors."

"And these black jars can yield a lot of platinum ancient coins, which, combined with the reserves in my backpack, should be enough to exchange for a few Moonlight Treasure Chests."

"If we're lucky enough to find another chip, we can use it to remove the binding effect from this thing."

Although the probability is very small, it's definitely worth a try.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing said in a low voice, "It seems that... the forging of legendary equipment on Harold's side will have to be suspended for a few days."

So he pressed the communication device to his ear and relayed his instructions to the dwarf blacksmith.

Although Harold didn't know why Cao Xing had stopped the journey midway, he still faithfully carried out his lord's orders.

"I understand, my lord. I will focus on crafting other equipment in the next few days, and try to finish crafting the other parts of that legendary giant rhinoceros first."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After hanging up the call, Cao Xing put the forging hammer into his backpack.

Then they went to the residence of the Tree Spirit sisters and handed them the two magical plants they had won at the auction: [Twisted Vine Seed (Gold)] and [Star Magic Bean (Gold)].

After spending some time with the two sisters, Cao Xing left their residence.

At this moment, he returned alone to the central area of ​​the territory once again.

Looking at the items in his backpack, he said in a low voice, "Now, there are only two items left that I haven't sold after winning the auction."

"First, the hundred leaves of the Tree of Life; second, the relic that enabled Malenina to break through to the legendary realm."

"Now, let's go find that witch and see the effects of the Leaf of Life."

With that in mind, Cao Xing headed straight for the alchemy workshop area.

"crunch-"

As the door was pushed open, a rich aroma of herbs wafted out.

Moonlight streamed through the skylight, casting a silvery-blue twilight over the entire workshop.

However, the witch was nowhere to be seen in the alchemy workshop; only the crucible was still bubbling away.

Clearly, the witch had just finished her day's work.

Cao Xing's gaze searched the dimly lit workshop, finally spotting a simple little wooden bed in a corner.

The moonlight fell precisely on that spot, illuminating the graceful figure lying on the bed.

Her long, dark brown hair was spread out like silk on the pillow, and her pretty face, unique to mixed-race people, looked especially serene in her sleep.

Long eyelashes cast faint shadows on her cheeks, and her deep purple lips added a touch of eerie beauty.

Because the temperature in the territory was very comfortable, she was only wearing a thin silk nightgown, her long legs slightly curled up, outlining a heart-pounding curve.

Just like when I first met this half-blood witch in that ancient castle.

Cao Xing was once again amazed by her beauty and stood there in place.

However, at that moment, Francesca suddenly opened her eyes.

A pair of deep, beautiful eyes, as blue as jade, instantly locked onto Cao Xing.

Upon recognizing the newcomer, the witch's wariness gradually faded, replaced by a casual expression.

"It's you... Is there something you need so late?"

She lazily sat up, her silk nightgown slipping down with the movement, revealing more of her snow-white skin.

Cao Xing admired the witch's perfect figure, then smiled and said, "There is indeed something."

"How many bottles of the Power-Drawing Elixir have been refined recently?"

Francesca rubbed her sleepy eyes and lazily pointed to the storage box in the distance: "We refined about 1600 bottles, but the raw materials were used up two days ago."

She yawned, and looked incredibly alluring.

Upon hearing this number, Cao Xing felt a surge of joy.

Keep in mind that, based on the Giant Axe Mercenary Group's purchase price of 2200 million per bottle, this amounts to over 350 billion crowns!

And these outputs were only the result of Francesca's work in five days.

At this moment, Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

A legendary alchemist, he's practically a money-printing machine!

No, even printing money can't be that fast!

Of course, Cao Xing did not intend to sell this batch of medicines to the Giant Axe Mercenary Group. Instead, he planned to sell them in his own city's pharmacy after the giant city was built.

In this way, not only are there fewer middlemen taking a cut, but it also attracts many high-end consumers.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, then went to the storage box at the back of the alchemy workshop.

He transferred all the potions from the storage box into his backpack.

[Obtained: Power Magic Elixir (Legendary) *1623]

...

After doing all that, he went straight to Francesca's side.

At this moment, the witch was still sitting on the small wooden bed, the neckline of her nightgown slightly open due to her previous movements, revealing a glimpse of alluring white skin.

Because she was wearing loose pajamas, and given Cao Xing's elevated perspective, her delicate collarbones and subtly visible curves were on full display.

In particular, when Cao Xing saw her perfect figure, he subconsciously swallowed.

Francesca seemed to notice his gaze and covered her collar with both hands.

But the next second, as if she had thought of something, she gradually loosened her grip.

At this moment, the beautiful witch lowered her head, her pretty face slightly flushed, lost in thought.

From Cao Xing's perspective, there's an even larger expanse of white skin.

The witch's shape was so perfect that it was impossible to look away.

Cao Xing gently squatted down and approached Francesca.

A stunningly beautiful face was right in front of me, accompanied by the refreshing scent of herbs and flowers.

The moonlight gilded her delicate features with a silvery edge, and her long eyelashes fluttered up and down.

"What...what should I do..."

The witch seemed startled by his sudden action, her amethyst eyes widening slightly.

She instinctively shrank back, but because the small wooden bed was cramped, she stopped in place.

Cao Xing stared at her deep purple lips, still bearing traces of the magic potion she had drunk before bed, which glistened with a moist sheen.

“You…” Francesca was about to speak.

Cao Xing had already kissed her.

The witch's body tensed instantly, and her slender hands instinctively clenched into fists.

The potion on her lips had a slightly bitter-sweet aftertaste, which was surprisingly captivating.

Cao Xing savored the unique taste while feeling her warm breath brushing against his cheek.

Gradually, the surprise in Francesca's purple eyes turned into bewilderment.

When the kiss ended, the witch's face was flushed with a blush like the sunset.

Cao Xing noticed that her breathing was also gradually becoming rapid.

"Francesca, shall we continue?"

Upon hearing this question, the witch trembled slightly.

Their slender fingers were clenched tightly together, as if engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

After a moment, she raised her head and slowly said, "I...I'm a woman who has lived for hundreds of years..."

"Before this, I had never been in such close contact with other men."

"If you don't mind my age..."

Before she could finish speaking, Cao Xing kissed her again, this time even more intensely than before.

The witch lay back on the bed, her purple eyes widening.

However, after feeling Cao Xing's hot breath and the man's broad chest, her emotions gradually calmed down.

Francesca reached out and embraced the man in front of her.

Under the moonlight, the intertwined shadows of the two swayed gently on the wall.

Only the occasional 'glug' sound from the crucible and the gradually synchronized breathing could be heard in the alchemy workshop.

...

...

late at night.

Two figures nestled together on the small wooden bed.

The sheets still bore traces of crimson, gleaming darkly in the moonlight.

Cao Xing sat leaning against the edge of the bed, his well-proportioned and muscular upper body exposed, his muscle lines as distinct as a sculpture under the moonlight.

Above, a face of unparalleled beauty rested quietly on his broad chest, with dark brown hair cascading down his arms.

The two quietly savored the calm after the storm.

After a long while, Cao Xing asked, "How are you feeling?"

Francesca looked up and gave him a reproachful look: "How dare you ask..."

Her voice carried a languid quality, and her purple eyes shimmered with moisture.

Cao Xing smiled and gently stroked her smooth back.

At that moment, as if remembering something, he slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot the important thing. I have something to show you."

"Huh? What is that?" Francesca raised her beautiful face and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Cao Xing took a vibrant green leaf from his backpack and handed it to her.

The leaves shimmered with a luminous green light and trembled slightly as if they were alive.

She seemed to sense the rich vitality contained in the leaf, and carefully took it with her slender fingers.

After examining her closely, a look of surprise flashed in the witch's beautiful eyes.

"This leaf contains such pure vitality, could it be... a leaf from the legendary Tree of Life?"

Cao Xing nodded. "Yes, I obtained some by chance this time."

Do you have any good formulas for this material?

The witch pondered for a moment, then gently traced her long fingers across his chest: "The leaves of the Tree of Life are a well-known alchemical material on the continent, and there are quite a few records of its recipes."

"Among them is the 'Eternal Spring Elixir,' which can delay aging and significantly extend lifespan."

"And the 'Natural Contract Elixir' which can permanently increase one's spirit and grant the ability to communicate with plants."

"There is also a 'Wither Reversal Elixir' which has a forbidden effect: it can revive creatures that have been dead for no more than an hour."

After listening to Francesca's description of a series of secret medicines, Cao Xing's eyes showed amazement.

Because each of the secret medicines here has extremely powerful effects.

Whether it's extending lifespan, permanently increasing mental strength, or the almost heaven-defying ability to resurrect the dead.

Its value will definitely exceed that of the [Power Demon's Madness Elixir] by several times!
If he could refine it, he would be rich!
Suppressing his excitement, Cao Xing said in a deep voice, "Besides these medicines..."

"Are there any that focus more on recovery and treatment effects?"

While these potions possess incredible effects, they cannot unleash the full potential of one's innate talent, the [Eternal Power].

What he wanted was a kind of [Master-level Life Elixir] that could restore a large amount of health over a period of time.

Upon hearing this question, a thoughtful look flashed in Francesca's eyes. "The treatment's effectiveness?"

"This is just the most common type of potion made from the Tree of Life."

"However, if you can find me the two ingredients, 'Heart of the Forest Dew' and 'Four Seasons Nectar,' I can refine another secret medicine called 'Essence of the Fountain of Life.'"

"The essence of the fountain of life..."

Cao Xing repeated in a low voice, "What are the effects of this medicine?"

Francesca nodded slightly, her exquisite jawline tracing a gentle line across his chest: "It is said that beings who take this potion can recover from all their injuries in a short time."

"Including limb regeneration, some stubborn chronic diseases, etc., will all be cured."

"Furthermore, the residual life force in the medicine will continue to work in the body, restoring a large amount of health every second."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes showed surprise.

Based on this description, this "essence of life" must be truly terrifying!

It can even achieve effects like limb regeneration.

It's important to know that this world is filled with numerous kingdoms and various powerful forces.

In the struggle for territory or rare resources, wars of all sizes have been almost constant.

In the successive battles, countless powerful individuals suffered hidden injuries due to their wounds.

If they knew that Cao Xing's territory contained such a miraculous secret medicine, it would definitely cause a sensation across half the continent!
Thinking of this, Cao Xing asked in a deep voice.

"So, all I need to do is collect 'Heart of the Forest Dew' and 'Four Seasons Nectar' for you to make it, right?"

Francesca nodded gently, her slender fingers twirling a strand of her hair: "However, these two materials are not easy to find."

"【Heart of the Forest Dew】can only be collected from the oldest sacred tree in the very heart of some sacred forests."

"And [Four Seasons Nectar] requires collecting magical nectar from four different climates simultaneously..."

She paused for a moment, as if she had realized something.

"I almost forgot, you have a magical ability."

"These two materials shouldn't be difficult for you."

Cao Xing smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, I'll go see if I can collect them after dawn tomorrow."

The beautiful witch nodded slightly again.

At that moment, as if she had remembered something, a strange smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

"Did you know that the leaves of this Tree of Life, besides being used for making medicine, also have a special ability?"

Cao Xing looked at her with a puzzled expression, "What special ability?"

A sly glint flashed in the witch's purple eyes: "These leaves themselves contain extremely strong vitality. If you crush them and apply them to your body, your skin will absorb them quickly and you will feel an extremely...stimulating flow of life energy."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Francesca didn't say anything, but instead turned over and sat up straight.

Moonlight streamed down from above her head.

From this angle, her perfect figure is on full display.

Her fair skin had a radiant glow and looked incredibly delicate.

Beneath her straight shoulders, her collarbones are clearly defined.

As the gaze moves downwards, the firm, white flesh becomes even more captivating.

Just as Cao Xing was admiring Francesca's figure, he saw her gently pick up a leaf of the Tree of Life and put it in her mouth.

Her purple lips pursed slightly, and her long, dark brown hair fell on either side of her face, shimmering softly in the moonlight.

Then, she began to chew in front of Cao Xing.

"Well…"

...

A moment later, Francesca looked up, her purple eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of a successful prank.

A trace of emerald green juice lingered at the corner of her mouth, making her appear exceptionally alluring in the moonlight.

"How was it? Did you feel it?"

Francesca asked softly, her voice as sweet as honey, "This 'special use' isn't recorded in any alchemical texts..."

Cao Xing took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging energy within his body: "Then... how did you know about this method?"

Upon hearing this question, the witch blushed slightly: "Because... I have half elven blood in my veins..."

"Newlywed elven couples use this secret recipe on their wedding night."

"So...I also happened to hear about this method..."

Hearing this, Cao Xing nodded, "Indeed...it's quite exciting."

"Francesca, continue."

The witch nodded sensibly upon hearing this, and then lowered her head again.

Before long, Cao Xing felt that extreme heat surge through his body again.

He spent the rest of the night in this intense heat.
