Weird Survival: I can devour thousands of talents

Chapter 171 170: Start learning! Fireworks bloom!

[Stoneskin Potion] can enhance the toughness of the skin and is equivalent to a defensive potion.

[Rock Potion] has a more powerful effect, allowing users with a physical fitness of no more than 30 to obtain a temporary state called "Rock Solid".

[Rock Solid: Reduces physical impact damage; increases physical toughness and reduces control effects; reduces agility by 10% when effective]

It seems that there are pros and cons, but Ling Xiao understands how precious this state is!
Although it is not permanent, it will disappear after a short period of excessive and fierce attacks.

But once you have truly faced the sharp fangs of a monster, you will understand how practical the "double reduction" of [Rock Solid] is.

As for the reduction in agility, it does not have much impact on the vast majority of survivors.

After all, there are only a few people like Ling Xiao who are good at fighting. Even if others do not reduce their agility, they cannot show off their fancy movements.

To them.

Making yourself more resistant to attacks and surviving the monster's attacks as much as possible is equivalent to saving an extra life!
Speculations may be groundless, but sales figures don’t lie.

[Stoneskin Potion] is almost as popular as [Strength Potion].

If Ling Xiao can launch [Rock Potion] in batches.

【Light of Qingshan】This "arms dealer" who doesn't have a potion master but mainly deals in weapons and attack props, might be able to get a share of the pie from the guild that specializes in the potion business!

And this is just the beginning!
This prescription is the first "appearance" of [Flamer's Alchemical Notes]!
Ling Xiao then realized it.

What kind of huge impact can a seal that can be fully utilized bring!
The only regret is that Ling Xiao can no longer use the [Rock Potion].

Originally, his second-level awakening profession was rated S+, which brought a very high increase, not to mention that there was also [Dragon Slayer Beowulf] before that.

Ling Xiao searched the mall and found that the prices of replaced materials such as geomagnetic crystals were more expensive.

But the good news is that it is available, and in large quantities.

After getting the materials and starting to prepare them, Ling Xiao has now stepped into the world of potions.

It took only three failures to get through trial and error.

After the fourth completion, the bluish-black potion with a faint grayish hue in the bottle showed relevant information in the feedback of the [Eye of Secrets].

【Stone Potion】

He didn't test the medicine himself, nor did he harm the icefield snow cattle.

Ling Xiao suddenly had an idea.

Don’t you want the Alchemy Notes?
It's rude not to reciprocate, so feed it to it!
It's just a good opportunity to help test the potion to see if it's correct. If there's no problem, it'll be considered a sacrifice!
There are no complicated rituals, and no need for piety in washing hands and face.

Simply place the [Rock Potion] in your hand steadily on the rustic dark brown cover of the alchemical notebook, and a familiar alchemical matrix will emerge, with the potion bottle smoothly sinking into it.

[[Rock Potion] tastes really good! ]

[You are doing well, studious young man!]

"And then? Just give some verbal praise for a good job..."

Ling Xiao complained in his mind, but of course he didn't dare say it out loud.

After waiting for a while and seeing no other reaction from the notebook, he realized that this [Rock Potion] did not meet the quality required for inclusion.

It seems that the more valuable the potion is, the easier it is to be included in the book. Only the real masterpieces can catch the eye of the notebook.

With a successful precedent, Ling Xiao concentrated on refining the potion after purchasing it.

Before dark.

He also finally created a [Rock Potion] that was obviously more "perfect".

[[Stone Potion] has been included, and the relevant potion files can be browsed and studied]

[Young man, your passion and talent in potions have impressed Flamel! Now, do you want to get another potion formula? Or start another major learning journey?]

The feedback from the Alchemy Notebook has changed...

Ling Xiao did not make a choice immediately.

He wanted to say, "I want them all!"

But strength doesn’t allow it.

If it were someone else, Ling Xiao could still find a way to do it, but the other party was a sealed object and would not care about his wishful thinking at all.

If my "greed" violates any taboos, then the loss will outweigh the gain...

But is it okay to ask first?
After thinking about it, Ling Xiao chose a honorific.

"Master Flamel, what are the directions for the prescription? Does the other major category mean that I can choose any of the other three?"

The alchemy notebook quickly gave the answer.

If you choose a potion recipe, you will get one from the improved branch of [Stone Potion] or an unrelated recipe.

If you choose a major category of study, you can choose any one of magic, alchemy, or formation and get an "opportunity" to get started.

"If I want to learn these three, do I also need to have the corresponding talents or abilities?"

Ling Xiao was more interested in the latter, but he was still cautious and tried to eliminate potential risks.

[The learning opportunity provided by Master Flamel is for young people who do not have relevant talents but are very hardworking and have potential!]

[No prerequisites are required. Once you successfully get started, you can smoothly begin your corresponding research and learning journey! ]

In that case, Ling Xiao has nothing to hesitate about.

[Magic][Alchemy][Array]

The latter two sound high-end and the actual effect is definitely very strong.

However, as the most well-known supernatural power, Ling Xiao felt that it would be better for him to start with magic.

Especially the special effects of this seal, which has a strong amplification effect on spellcasting, especially elemental magic.

Choosing magic is safer, and there might be unexpected surprises...

【The door of magic is opening for you...】

[As a layman who has just begun to glimpse the art, you have only mastered some of the applications of magic, but it is far from being considered learning...]

[Magic Skill - [Spear of Frost] is a great way to practice. Please complete a hundred perfect casts with careful concentration before Master Flamel gets disappointed in you!]

Following Ling Xiao's choice, the Alchemy Notebook also gave corresponding feedback.

This was both an assessment of his entry-level magic studies and the second "requirement" of this seal.

Do I need to take an exam before I can enroll?

This is too familiar for a test-taker like Ling Xiao!

Night falls.

The convoy stopped.

Heavy snow began to fall again between the sky and the earth, and Qi Heng returned with the fighters responsible for reconnaissance at the front.

In fact, Ling Xiao's perception was always on. The vast snowfield did not have much complex terrain, and almost no movement around him could be hidden from him.

However, those crazy people hiding under the snow make this assurance less secure.

So when Qi Heng and his team were clearing the way, they would also bring a few cows pulling modified sleds.

These wider sleds, arranged in a row, were sufficient to sweep out anything hidden under the snow.

"These guys! They're all going crazy riding their wolves!"

Qi Heng plopped down beside the campfire, snatched the big skewer of meat that had just been grilled and was dripping with oil from Ling Xiao's hand, and started to eat it.

His tone was sour and full of envy as he complained: "Three heads after three heads, and then three heads after three heads!"

"Brother Xiao, aren't we the closest of friends? Why don't you even give me a mount?"

"And you emphasized that each person should have one wolf, and that you shouldn't lend your mount to others!" "Isn't it obvious you're guarding against me?!"

Ling Xiao put his hand into the fire, and after burning off the oil stains, he continued to practice casting the ice spear spell.

He didn't even look at it, only angrily scolding, "So what? Do you want to remember when I drove the cattle back and you rode your bulls and charged, shouting 'Bull Warrior'?"

"Back then, I didn't have such strong control over monsters, yet you dared to do that! Now I give you a frost wolf, and you don't even send out your entire cavalry company!?"

"Just stay still! You can run faster than a wolf anyway, so why would you need a mount..."

Qi Heng thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

But he didn't intend to make trouble. At most, he was inexplicably "unhappy" to see Ling Xiao having a good day's rest, so he took the opportunity to "harass" him.

Once people get used to being busy and meaningful, they will find it difficult to adapt to being idle suddenly.

Although Ling Xiao had used his brain a lot that day, he still felt that his butt was covered with calluses from riding on the ox cart for so long.

Eat and drink enough to move around...

He stood up and stretched, and the bones hidden under the muscles made a joyful popping sound.

"The camp's night watch is still rotating as usual. I'll be patrolling the perimeter."

After making some simple arrangements, Ling Xiao put on a new generation of cold-resistant armor and walked into the wind and snow.

……

……

laugh--

Far away on the snowy plain, a fast-crawling lizard was pierced through the spine by an ice spear that fell from the sky without warning, and was nailed to the ice.

"That's right...that's right..."

Ling Xiao exhaled a long breath of white air and finally touched the invisible threshold of perfect spell casting.

No one can teach, and no textbook can record, this wonderful feeling.

Because Ling Xiao only vaguely understood after he figured it out himself that the "enlightenment" of all spellcasters is different.

It is not a rote knowledge.

Perfect Casting is more like a special "status".

And in a sense, it is not universally applicable. At least for now, he cannot achieve "one method to understand all methods".

For example, the feeling that Ling Xiao had when he gained enlightenment from the Spear of Extreme Cold might be something he couldn't find at all if it were any other spell.

But... at least the Spear of Frost was perfectly cast...

He got it!
With a thought, a slender ice spear condensed in Ling Xiao's hand.

It was thrown casually, and the trajectory of its flight seemed no different from the original one.

But Ling Xiao, with his eyes closed and head bowed, seemed to have grown a "mind's eye" and could clearly sense...

Do not!
In fact, he had perfectly predicted the trajectory, landing point and even the power of the ice spear.

It doesn't reach the magical level of causality, like shooting the arrow first and then drawing the target.

However, as a high-quality skill, the effect of Spear of Arctic Cold is now much stronger than before.

Ling Xiao started with perfect casting in a standing position, and slowly began to practice the movements while moving.

Ice spears streaked across the night sky, piercing through the snowflakes and flying in all directions.

There are also monsters that sneak up in the dark.

Not to mention climbing to the camp, as long as you appear in Lingxiao's perception range, you will be a sitting duck!

Anyway, there is no such thing as no harm here.

It’s good enough that he didn’t come to my door, but he actually dared to come to my doorstep! ?
If this isn't a blatant provocation, what is?
As for the corpses left after the instant kill, Ling Xiao has now developed a "bad habit". He is too lazy to walk the way himself and just drives the Frost Wolf to bring them back.

If the fish are bigger, use more to drag them together.

Ling Xiao had no interest in even decomposing and storing some low-quality corpses.

The Frostwolves ate with great relish, and in their eyes there was more respect than awe when they looked at their new leader.

Except for the unlucky ones who were killed by the ice spears, both humans and wolves were very happy...

……

"Huh... finally, it's enough. A hundred times may not seem like a lot, but it's actually quite a lot!"

Ling Xiao opened the alchemy notes with great joy, which also showed real-time positive and negative feedback.

[Perfectly casting a spell a hundred times sounds difficult, but it is indeed not easy! ]

[Young man, you were able to accomplish Master Flamel's expectations of you in such a short time. You will succeed in whatever you do!]

[Hard work pays off. Master Flamel wishes that every [Spear of Frost] you cast in the future will be a perfect cast!]

[Reward Elemental Spell—[Fire Blossom] (Due to your positive learning attitude, Master Flamel has specially upgraded this reward to an Excellence level!)]

【Magic[1/? ]】

Damn it? !
This is really a pleasant surprise!

But Ling Xiao knew the nature of the Alchemy Notebook and it would definitely not give him any benefits for free.

In fact, even seemingly demanding tasks can be seen as a way to motivate yourself to practice.

For those who want to make solid progress, it is a magic tool to force self-discipline in learning!

[Perform perfect casting of [Fire Blossom] 100 times, and use [Fire Blossom] alone to kill an enemy of your level or higher.]

The requirements for the magical field seem to be more than those for potions.

It requires not only self-practice but also practical proof.

Fortunately, there is no need to be forced by the Alchemy Notebook, as Ling Xiao likes to kill enemies in different ways.

This was the first time he had obtained an outstanding level spell skill!
【Fireworks in full bloom】

【Excellent quality】

【条件：灵性达到20且精神达到40或等级达到LV35；消耗100点灵力；无冷却；连续使用可获得10%的可叠加伤害增幅】

[Special Effect: After a short cast, a beam of blazing flames is ejected, spreading and bombarding the target area, causing impact damage, burst damage, and continuous burning to the enemy; if the flames hit multiple times, the burning will accumulate into a deflagration, causing a smaller but longer-lasting explosion!]

【Evaluation: Flames burst forth, burning all enemies!】

exactly!
Simple and crude mechanisms often represent extreme output!
Ling Xiao now has many means of attack, but a few more simple and direct strong attack skills will never be too many!
[Fireworks] has no strict requirements, how many combos can be created by integrating it into his combat system?!
Ling Xiao's hands were itching and he wanted to ejaculate immediately!
Of course, he didn't forget to drive the Frostwolves away first.

After all, this is an excellent-level attack spell, and according to the description, it will spread and escape, which would be bad if it burns the fur of these little wolf cubs.

Concentrate...

Gathering Spirits...

A dark red flame slowly formed in Ling Xiao's palm, and then spread into a redder and larger ball.

It seems that I can't control it anymore.

Before the flames became more and more violent, Ling Xiao decisively activated his skills, and a blazing and surging flame shot forward!

boom--

The snowfield turned black, and the ice underneath melted instantly. Gradually expanding cracks appeared on the cold and hard ground.

Smoke and steam rise from the wounds of the dark brown earth...

"Fuck... This is the power that magic should have..."
