The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 48: The Rich Man’s Commission
"You know, it's the Buffati Mansion? Come meet me there in three hours," said Fugate.

After saying that, Fuget took two steps and disappeared. Fuget couldn't wait to study this potion book carefully.

"This?" Ernst and Cassian looked at the place where Fuget disappeared in surprise.

To be honest, it takes more than three hours for ordinary people to walk from Gray River to Buffati Mansion.

Fortunately, the two Shadow Hunters were not ordinary people. They had all undergone rigorous training, so they arrived at the Buffati Mansion after more than three hours.

"Who are you?" The Fatui guarding the Buffati Mansion quickly discovered the two men.

After the two of them looked at their clocks, Pharmacist Cassian said, "We are clients of Master Nathan Rice."

"Who is Master Nathanless?" The Fatui's Wind Servant looked at the Ice Firefly Warlock next to him and asked.

"It seems to be Colonel Fuzhu, Lord Fugate. Lord Fugate's full name is Nathanless H. Fugate." said the Ice Firefly Warlock.

"Oh~ I see." The Fatui's Wind Servant nodded.

Then Feng Yiren coughed twice and said, "Then please stay here and watch. I will go and inform Lord Fuget."

"No need, I'm here." Fuget appeared in front of Feng Yiren with blue light in his eyes.

Yiren is an elite spy among the Fatui. Although this Yiren seems stupid, she is very strong, at level 47.

They are stronger than most debt collectors, but unlike the debt collectors who have regular organization, the servants do not have a regular military organization among the Fatui.

Depending on the orders and missions, the servants can advance and retreat with the soldiers, or they can conduct espionage, counter-reconnaissance, escort, elimination and other tasks alone or with spies buried in various places.

For more special tasks, servants often need to master a variety of skills and even talents.

For example, the reason why this Feng Yiren did not go out to perform the mission was that he had not mastered some talents well.

Although its strength is indeed quite strong, it is not suitable for carrying out some more complicated tasks and can only work with the soldiers.

"This is the [Justice Potion]. You can check the contents." Fugate took out a small potion box and handed it to the two of them.

"Huh!?" Ernst was surprised.

"It's really done." Cassian said in surprise after opening it.

Then Cassian began to verify the [Justice Potion].

"It is indeed the Justice Potion, and it is of perfect quality. Thank you, Master Nathanless."

Fget nodded, then went back to the Buffati Mansion, at which time the blue light in Fget's eyes slowly dissipated.

He used his psychic powers to predict the future to assist in refining the [Justice Potion], which is why he was able to complete it so quickly.

What Fgate needs to do next is to thoroughly master the knowledge contained in the [Justice Potion] and then make it his own.

Apart from coercing other countries, the soldiers of the Fatui didn't actually do anything bad. In fact, in a sense, what they did were good things in the conventional sense.

Investigate dangerous ruins, hunt dangerous monsters, clear out the monsters derived from the earth veins, and of course, conquer the abyss.

Otherwise, the Fatui would not be able to develop smoothly in the Seven Kingdoms.

The officers' force is one thing, but the other is that these soldiers are really taking on tasks that are difficult for ordinary people to handle.

According to Fugate's speculation, [Potion of Justice] would be very useful to these soldiers.

This is another gain for their laboratory.

"These medicines are all very useful." Xiamian and Fugate share a laboratory, but their test benches are separate.

"The [Justice Potion] is indeed very just. It only works against negative curses, infections, and pollution. It is very useful whether it is used to exorcise demons or to arrange rituals." said Fugate.

"I'm talking about other things." Xia Mian said, "Look at this, it can increase your resistance to curses, this can increase your willpower, and it can also make you immune to some low-level illusions..."

“But the [Justice Potion] is indeed very good. It can only be said that it is worthy of being a [Gold] level alchemical potion. The person who developed it is really creative.” Xia Mian said.

······
"The [Potion of Justice] has been brought back. How are your injuries?" asked the pharmacist Cassian.

"There is not much [Justice Potion] left in the secret library. Where did you get it from?" asked a doctor who was bandaging a wound.

"We asked Master Nathan Rice from the Gray River Black Market to help refine a batch."

"What!" Now even the most seriously injured people climbed up.

There are only about a dozen Shadow Hunters in this base, but these Shadow Hunters already account for most of the Shadow Hunters in the entire Fontaine.

"Really?" someone asked.

"It's true." Archer Ernst brought a large jar of water and said, "We will start making the Shadow Chaser Potion now. Please be patient."

Then pharmacist Cassian poured a bottle of potion into the water and began to stir it.

Finally, he didn't stop until the entire jar of water turned platinum.

The Shadow Chaser Potion is a diluted version of the [Justice Potion]. It is the real Justice Potion and also the method to use the Justice Potion.

When Shadow Hunter used the [Justice Potion], he discovered that no matter how powerful the monsters and curses were, they would disappear when they encountered the [Justice Potion].

That’s right, [Justice Potion] can not only be taken internally, but can also be used to enchant weapons.

Weapons soaked in [Justice Potion] for a long time can even be enhanced.

However, the [Potion of Justice] also has its own shortcomings, that is, its refining requires very high requirements for alchemists and alchemy.

Refining was also very difficult. Finally, after much thought, they came up with the idea of ​​diluting the potion. They found that the diluted [Justice Potion] still had a powerful effect, especially against curses.

The enchantment has only been weakened a little, but compared to the dramatically increased number of potions, such a slight weakening can basically be ignored.

As bottle after bottle of potion was consumed, the curse on the Shadow Hunters began to dissipate quickly, and everyone's injuries began to improve at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"That's great." The Shadow Hunters said with emotion, "With these potions, we can defeat more demons."

Some people even said directly that they knew there was some difficult monster in a certain place. Before there was no potion of justice, they didn't mention that monster. Now that there is one, they decided to tell everyone, and then make an appointment with a few Shadow Hunters to go and fight it together.

Let’s not talk about the Shadow Hunters’ stories for now, that is the story of justice in the darkness and of mortals.

A year later, in the basement of the Hearth House, or rather the Buffati Mansion, Fugate and Charmian were completing the final preparation of the 172nd edition of the Gem Potion.

After hundreds of improvements, the sequelae and side effects of Baoyu medicine have now been basically eliminated.

And the efficacy of the medicine has also been improved and greatly enhanced.

Now we can not only break the limits of the human body, but also strengthen the human body's immunity and repair hidden injuries.

Of course, it is not without disadvantages. The disadvantage is that the price of precious jade potion is more expensive. The various raw materials alone cost a full 700,000 Mora.

And among the four major elements of raw materials, equipment, alchemists and alchemical techniques, raw materials are the cheapest.

Equipment comes second, alchemical techniques are third, and the alchemist is the most expensive of these.

According to the current market price, it would cost a gold-level alchemist tens of millions of Mora to refine a portion of this [gold]-level alchemical potion, and there is no demand for it.

Because there are not many [Gold] level alchemists in the entire continent of Teyvat.

These people are either top leaders of the country, super freaks, or super geniuses.

"If you want to make money from a bottle of precious jade potion, you'll have to sell it for 30 million." Fuget said as he looked at the liquid medicine that looked like warm jade. "But if you have the skills, if you drink it yourself, you probably only need to pay for the raw materials."

"Okay, stop sighing and come with me to sort out the potion techniques and formulas." Xia Mian said with his ears pricked up.

Xia Mian was in a good mood. The completion of the development of the gem potion allowed her to clearly feel that her alchemy was much stronger than before.

Moreover, she also drank a lot of precious jade medicine during the improvement process, and now her physical potential has been further developed. And this time it is not the development of biological enhancement technology, but an enhancement that goes deeper into the essence of the body.

If biological enhancement technology is a multiplication area, then the increase in gem potions is not a multiplication area, but a basic value.

However, the basic values ​​increased by the gem potion will not be increased all at once, but will require gradual training and improvement.

It can only be said that Xia Mian is worthy of being taught by Fugate. The two have the same understanding of human body strengthening. They both believe that strengthening requires time and that the human body is a whole.

Therefore, the reinforcement methods developed are relatively mild.

But the doctor obviously doesn't think so... He believes that humans are just complex machines, so the means of transformation are often very explosive.

"Would you like another dose?" Fugate handed the potion to Alechino.

Alechino's current outfit is very luxurious. This is clothing made of special materials to adapt to her new fighting style after she became an executive officer.

Ordinary attacks can't even leave a mark on it.

"I can't afford the full version of the potion."

"But I think the [Rich Man], the [Rooster], and the [Captain] should all like this thing." Alechino has grown a lot in this year, and at least he has understood some political things.

Therefore, the style of doing things has gradually changed.

"Send this thing back to the Winter Palace. At least let the [rich] know that their money is not wasted." Alechino said.

"Yes, my Lord Father." said a wind servant.

This wind servant is sixteen years old this year, actually only five years younger than the [Servant]. He graduated from [House of Hearth] last year and went to Winter for further studies. This year he obtained the wind-attributed evil eye and became a wind servant.

Because of his great potential, he was trained by the [Servant].

"Then you guys continue to tidy up, I still have things to do." Alechino said as he looked at the two busy people.

"You go ahead and do your work." Xia Mian said, "We still have work to do here."

It is necessary to establish standardized techniques to facilitate future refining and to facilitate the dissemination of the medicine refining methods.

Many secrets are lost as they are passed down. Both Fuget and Xiamian come from academic backgrounds and do not have this bad habit. Both of them even worked as lecturers, but neither of them was good at teaching.

However, this does not prevent the two from wanting to spread knowledge.

"Speaking of the spread of knowledge, when you sent the [Fuget Intelligence Development Potion] back to Xumi some time ago, you gave those old guys a slap in the face." Fugate said with a smile.

This is what Kuru told Fugate some time ago.

"Many of those who claim to be alchemy masters didn't even have the courage to start refining. In the end, it was the foreign student named Lisa who completed it."

"What a formidable young man."

"They can forget about the [Intelligence Development Potion], but there is still some hope if they try the [Intelligence Enhancement Potion]." Xia Mian was also somewhat dissatisfied with those guys who were seeking fame and reputation.

There has been no breakthrough in the entire Xumi alchemy in the past few hundred years.

No, it is only now that there has been a breakthrough in research. The Baoyu Pharmacy is the result of this, and it was completed by someone like her who lived hundreds of years ago.

"This Church of the Holy Orders is really getting worse with each generation." Xia Mian also complained, "I plan to go back in a while to see His Majesty the Little King of the Auspicious Grass and see if there is anything I can do to help."

"Then go ahead and give the precious jade potion to His Majesty so that He can secretly cultivate some combat power. After all, this world is still based on violence." said Fugate.

Fugate wasn't worried that no one except Lisa would be equipped with potions.

Because Lord Little Auspicious Grass King himself is also a gold-level alchemist. Well, thanks to Xia Mian, this is the result of her teaching.

However, it is only in the initial stage of [Gold] alchemy, but there is no problem with simple configuration according to the prescription and technique.

After all, the existing problems have been solved by Fuget and Xiamian.

This is why the potion has iterated to the one hundred and seventy-second generation.

The enlightenment books of Little Lucky Grass King were brain research and alchemy classics, so it is very normal for Little Lucky Grass King to know alchemy.

In addition, the little Lucky Grass King is also proficient in medicine and mechanics, because the enlightenment books also include these two. Batu is Fuget's apprentice, so Fuget has collected all of Batu's medical achievements. As for mechanics... Fuget himself is quite good at it. The two energy mechanisms in Fuget's basement were once the little Lucky Grass King's practice toys.

The only pity is that the little auspicious grass king still cannot generate spiritual power, and no one knows what the reason is. Otherwise, the little auspicious grass king would be able to play with the machine soul, which would be interesting.

The day after Xiamian left, Alechino discovered that her new best friend seemed to be missing.

"Where is Shamian?" asked Alecino.

"Oh~ I need to go back to Xumi for something." said Fugate, who was listening to music.

"Without Xiamian's supervision, are you so decadent?" Alechino complained.

"The main thing is that there is nothing to worry about. The training of those little guys is now on track, and I don't need to watch them all day." Fugate said indifferently, "As for the potions, there is no feedback from Zhidong yet."

"And I've also been busy. I've been thinking about a degraded gem medicine recently." Fugate said, "Using some of the principles of the gem medicine, I'll reduce the effective ingredients in it."

"Only retaining its ability to break the limits of the human body can benefit more people."

"The current Baoyu medicine is good, but it can't benefit most people."

Alechino was also somewhat excited after hearing this. If this potion was really developed, then the first to benefit would be them, the [House of Hearth].

"So any progress?" asked Alecino.

"No, if there was, you shouldn't see me here, but in the laboratory." Fugate was speechless.

Although it sounds far-fetched, Fugate's idea is actually not groundless.

His inspiration for this came from the diluted [Potion of Justice].

Why the [Justice Potion] still has great effect after being diluted thousands of times is a [Gold] level problem that Fgate has not yet solved.

The precious jade potion does contain many principles related to the [Justice Potion].

However, none of them involve the principle of why the [Justice Potion] can be diluted into a large amount of [Shadow Chaser Potion].

Maybe the pharmacist who developed the [Justice Potion] himself doesn't know it.

After all, according to the records of the Shadow Hunters in the Shadow Hunter Potion Encyclopedia, the alchemist who developed the [Shadow Hunter Potion] and the alchemist who developed the [Justice Potion] are not the same person.

Compared to the [Gold] level alchemist who was able to develop the [Justice Potion], the other one was at most an elite level alchemist.

Although it is considered good and may even be called a master alchemist, the two are obviously at two different levels.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. The rich man has a commission and needs us to go there."

"Oh? What's the commission?" Fugate became curious.

Although he didn't have much dealings with the rich, Fugate knew the rich man very well.

He is not a person who likes to make trouble for others. Every time he says something, he must have something meaningful to say and must create great value for it.

"Do you know Melo Petersburg? There is a thing called [Charter Scroll] circulating there. It is said that it can be used as Mora in Melo Petersburg." Alechino said, "The rich man and I have sent people to confirm it before. It is certain that it is true."

“The task he entrusted us with was to conduct an in-depth investigation of [the charter] and understand its operating model.”

"It would be best to reach some kind of cooperation with the rulers of Melo Petersburg."

"The ruler of Melo Petersburg?"

The dragon king's spinning in circles was fixed as a bug... I'm speechless. MiHoYo has lost all their dignity this time. It's really ugly. What's the point of my full-life dragon... It's just like Barbara's grass seeds back then. Tsk, I kind of regret that I got this book in Genshin Impact. I'll fast forward to Collapse as soon as possible.
