Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

"That's right, it's successfully refined."

"This is a second-grade elixir, beast-repelling powder."

"Tier 3 and below magical beasts will flee upon smelling this scent."

"Want to take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up.

"May I?"

Xiao Yang opened the jade bottle containing the beast-repelling powder.

"of course."

Little Fairy Doctor curiously leaned closer to Xiao Yang, looking at the beast-repelling powder in his hand.

At this moment, their heads were very close together.

Xiao Yang could even hear Little Fairy Doctor's faint breathing.

Little Fairy Doctor's attention was focused on the beast-repelling powder in Xiao Yang's hand.

As she approached, a faint medicinal fragrance could be smelled.

"This beast-repelling powder doesn't even smell bad, so why can't magical beasts stand the smell..."

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Yang with some curiosity and asked.

When she turned to look at Xiao Yang halfway through her question, she suddenly realized that the distance between the two of them was now less than a fist's width.

I didn't pay attention just now, so I didn't feel anything.

Now she could even feel the temperature of Xiao Yang's breath.

She blushed and took a step back.

She had never been with any boy like this before, from childhood to adulthood.

Xiao Yang, however, pretended to remain expressionless.

He secretly glanced at Little Fairy Doctor.

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor's face turned even redder.

Not only her face, but even her neck and the area behind her ears turned light pink.

It's just like a perfectly ripe peach.

"Ahem, this smell doesn't actually smell bad to us humans."

"But for Warcraft, this smell is extremely unpleasant."

"If you don't believe me, look at Xiao Lan."

Little Fairy Doctor only now realized that Xiao Lan, who was originally on a tree not far from the two of them, had somehow moved far away from them.

"It really is true!"

"This elixir is truly miraculous!"

"When I and my herb-gathering team come to gather herbs, we can only use some high-level magical beast excrement or urine collected by mercenaries."

"And sometimes it's not even effective."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang took out another jade bottle and poured out half of the medicinal powder inside, giving it to Little Fairy Doctor.

"Here, take these."

"This half can probably be used about ten times."

"Just sprinkle it on your body, and it will last for about three days."

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor quickly refused.

"No, no, this is a second-grade pill, it's too precious."

"One of the main ingredients was obtained in your valley, so you can keep it."

"This is nothing to me; I can refine it myself."

As he spoke, Xiao Yang casually created a task.

[Task: Give Little Fairy Doctor half a bottle of Beast-Repelling Powder; Reward: One serving of Grade Two Poisonous Incense Powder]

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment before putting the jade bottle away.

"Thank you, this is the first time I've received a second-grade pill."

Touching the slightly warm jade bottle in her hand, Little Fairy Doctor's face was full of joy.

As Little Fairy Doctor accepted the beast-repelling powder, a system notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

[Task: Give Little Fairy Doctor half a bottle of Beast-Repelling Powder; Reward: One serving of Grade Two Poison, Drowsy Incense. Completed. Claim reward?]

"fine."

"Next, I will refine another type of elixir."

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor consciously sat down to the side, shut her mouth, and watched quietly.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang poured in the flames again and began refining the medicine.

This time, he was going to refine a different kind of elixir.

Once this pill is successfully refined, the second-grade alchemist task will be completed!

Chapter 61 Second-Rank Alchemist and Intermediate Alchemy Talent

The pill Xiao Yang is going to refine this time is a second-grade pill called the Body Strengthening Pill.

He had never heard of this kind of elixir before.

This is a type of elixir recorded in the "Complete Collection of Second-Grade Elixir Formulas" which is a reward from the system.

He guessed that this was likely a unique elixir produced by the system.

The ingredients for the Strengthening Pill are actually not difficult to find.

He had obtained several second-tier earth-attribute magic cores, which were the main materials, before.

The troublesome part is the last type of monster material – the blood of a second-tier monster.

Moreover, it needs to be the blood of a second-tier magical beast that died within three days.

That's why you can't buy it in Utan City.

Even the Mittel auction house couldn't easily source supplies from other cities.

After all, it would take several days to transfer this thing from another city.

And the mercenaries in Wutan City rarely sell the blood of second-tier magical beasts.

Even if they did, they wouldn't have died within three days.

I just happened to kill the first-tier second-level Silver Moon Wolf King, so now I can refine the Body Strengthening Pill.

He then threw the medicinal herbs one by one into the medicine cauldron.

The flames inside were also rapidly refining the medicinal herbs.

However, since it was the first time making it, I was still a bit unskilled.

Moreover, the process of refining the Body Strengthening Pill is quite difficult.

Therefore, Xiao Yang failed twice before he finally succeeded in refining a Body Strengthening Pill.

When he successfully refined it, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Quest: Become a Rank 2 Alchemist. Reward: Basic Alchemy Talent +3, Hundred-Form Herb Field. Completed. Claim reward?]

He didn't stop, but continued refining.

Anyway, there's only enough blood left to make one more.

This time, Xiao Yang was lucky; he succeeded again.

The Silver Moon Wolf King's blood was also completely depleted.

When Little Fairy Doctor saw that Xiao Yang had finally finished refining it, she couldn't help but speak up.

There was a hint of heartache in her eyes.

"Are these failed medicinal herbs useless?"

"These medicinal herbs must cost at least twenty or thirty thousand gold coins, right?"

"Alchemists are indeed extravagant."

Xiao Yang said as he put away the medicine cauldron.

"When the fusion of the elixir failed, all these medicinal materials were burned."

"If the failure occurs during the extraction of medicinal herbs, the other herbs can still be used."

"There's no way around it, being an alchemist is an expensive profession."

Little Fairy Doctor still had a hint of heartache on her face.

"Many of those medicinal herbs were ones I'd never even seen before, and there were even second-tier earth-attribute magic cores."

"Second-tier magic cores are rarely seen in Qingshan Town, perhaps only a few times a year."

After all, the strongest person in Qingshan Town is a Dou Shi (Battle Master) level expert.

Moreover, he is a one- or two-star Battle Master.

Although those mercenary groups can also kill second-tier magical beasts when they unite.

However, it is still quite difficult.

Killing a second-tier magical beast could very likely result in the loss of several mercenaries.

Therefore, even the three major mercenary groups in Qingshan Town rarely hunt second-tier magical beasts.

"However, as long as we can refine the pills, it's a profit."
