I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

Oden explained,

"Take those Icefield Grass and Cold Water Stones you have, for example. These are both auxiliary medicinal materials. Without a specific core combination, the resulting items are not very useful."

"What's missing to match?" Lu Yuan asked.

"For example, the core of the Frost Conglomerate," Oden explained. "If you could find one, and combine it with your Ice Skull user and your other materials, you might be able to create one of those weird items I've heard of before. It could also be used to make potions."

"Frost Aggregate." Lu Yuan repeated the name.

He thought for a moment, and it seemed he had never heard of it before, but since it contained the words "aggregate," he roughly knew what it was. He guessed it was some kind of mysterious corpse, or something strangely glued together.

Just hearing the name makes you think you're not to be messed with.

"Frost Aggregate is some kind of strange adhesive that lives in the snow-capped mountains. It's quite rare. Well, it's not easy to find either. Of all the stuff in your box, only the Ice Skull can be considered a core."

Oden added, "But it still wasn't enough. There wasn't anything better to string it together; it was just a bunch of bits and pieces."

"Sigh," Lu Yuan sighed, "there's nothing I can do."

Although these simple materials cannot be used to make potions, they can still be combined to create some strange items for practice.

At least Lu Yuan can do it.

Just as the two were talking, a knock came from the door.

who is it?

Who would come to see me at this hour? Lu Yuan went to open the door with some doubt. The person standing outside made Lu Yuan pause for a moment. It was Leon. He actually came in person. However, although he was a little confused, Lu Yuan could still see that Leon's expression was a bit serious. So Lu Yuan turned to the side and gestured for Leon to come in.

Before entering, Leon stamped the snow off his boots and glanced around the room. There were still some uncollected medicinal herbs and a large amount of medicine on the table.

He quickly surveyed his surroundings, a look of understanding dawning on him. He realized what Lu Yuan had been doing these past few days.

Leon didn't stand on ceremony. He found a chair in Lu Yuan's room and sat down. Lu Yuan poured him a cup of hot water, which Leon took, held in his hands, and took a small sip.

"Blanca wants us all to get together," Leon explained his purpose. "She said she has something to discuss, and you'd better go over there."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not entirely sure," Leon shook his head. "But apparently, the Blanca family received some bad news."

"Leave now?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Um."

Lu Yuan immediately indicated that he understood, because this was most likely related to what was about to happen at the Knight Academy.

I need more information, and more than that; I definitely have to go.

As Oden had also said, it would be best to get along well with Blanca so that he could get something out of her horn in the future.

In addition, Blanca is also a wealthy woman, and Lu Yuan would never miss such a big client.

"By the way, I was just wondering what that girl has on her," Oden suddenly spoke up. "Are you planning to go over there?"

"Yes," Lu Yuan replied.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan simply put down what he was holding, tightened his coat automatically, and went out with Leon.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the streetlights illuminated the snow-covered ground brightly.

Leon led the way, and the two of them walked one after the other through the snow toward the edge of the residential area.

The gathering place was a new pub, but this time it was in a private room. It wasn't the same pub as the one we went to last time; it was a larger one located next to the residential area, and it was built entirely of wood and stone.

As I pushed open the door, a strong aroma of hot beer and roasted meat wafted towards me.

The hall was quite crowded, with students gathered in twos and threes around the tables, their voices, laughter, and the clinking of cups all mixed together.

A few small flowers dotted the windowsill and the corner of the table; it was freezing cold outside, so these colors were quite rare.

The private room was on the inside. Lu Yuan followed Leon through the hall and stopped in front of a wooden door.

As soon as I pushed the door open and it closed, the noise outside subsided.

The private room contained two tables and a few chairs, with two oil lamps hanging on the wall.

A layer of fog covered the glass window, and several people were already sitting inside.

Blanca, Lia, and Harvey were seated there.

At that moment, Blanca was grabbing a piece of leg meat and eating it in big bites, while clutching the leg bone in his hand, his knuckles covered in oil.

She sat upright, even while eating, her posture was very proper, displaying both the refinement of a well-bred lady and a wild side. These two qualities coexisted in Blanca, yet they did not conflict with each other.

Leah, on the other hand, ate in small bites, behaving much more politely.

Harvey didn't touch the meat on the table, but instead held the bowl of hot soup in front of him and drank it slowly.

They were all eating, waiting for the others to arrive. They looked like they had been waiting for a while and must be hungry.

"You're here?" Blanca glanced at Lu Yuan, still chewing something, and mumbled a greeting.

"Yes, I'm here." Lu Yuan responded and followed Leon to find seats.

The table was now piled high with meat, still steaming hot.

Lu Yuan didn't have much of an appetite, but Leon didn't stand on ceremony and reached out to take a piece.

Not long after I sat down, the door was pushed open again.

Dean, with his blond hair, walked in first. He glanced around the private room, greeted everyone with a smile, and sat down next to Lu Yuan.

"All that's missing is Eli."

Dean had barely finished speaking when the door was pushed open for the third time, and Eli walked in.

But this time, he was empty-handed. This guy usually loves reading so much, whether it's "The Book of Light" or the astrology book the Grand Knight of Astronomy gave him, he carries it everywhere he goes, but he didn't bring it with him today.

Moreover, his hair was a little damp, so it looked like he had just finished tidying up and taking a shower before rushing over.

Now that everyone was present, Eli sat down in his seat.

A few people huddled together somewhat lazily, the firelight from the fireplace casting a warm yellow glow over the space between the two tables.

A layer of fog covered the glass window, and the snow was still falling softly outside.

Once everyone was present, Blanca put down the meat in front of her, took a handkerchief, and slowly wiped her hands.

She looked around at everyone and said, "I received some bad news from my family."
