After moving into the "Castle of Medicine Bottles".

In the huge castle, there were only 6 people in total, including Zhou Ming, Henry, the elf Angeli Tika, the warrior captain Gurdjieff and the two rabbit maids.

The empty castle, the two rabbit maids, and the energy to clean the hallway room are not enough.

In order to increase his popularity, Zhou Ming went to the slave market again and bought another pair of rabbit maids in the hands of the slave trader Ward, Sissi and Lulu.

It cost 40,000 gold coins.

Four human prisoners of war were also included.

These four prisoners of war are all Gejieff's subordinates, because of their serious injuries, they have not been bought, and when Zhou Ming went to the slave market this time, Gejief, who was next to him, was seeing his four subordinates.

The four recognized him, and they were so weak that they actually got up and shouted his name.

"Warrior Commander, are you Warrior Commander?"

"Are you alright, Warrior Chief, are you alright?"

"Great, great!

Looking at the cage, several skinny and dying subordinates, who were still concerned about their own safety, Gerjief's eyes turned red, "Mr. Leilin!" He stopped Zhou Ming, and then bent his knees and knelt in front of him.

"Get up quickly, I know what you mean, and I will ransom you men. ”

Zhou Ming said that these prisoners of war are all loyal and righteous, and there is a shortage of people in the castle, so buying them is a matter of effort.

"Thank you, sir!"

Got on his knees, bowed to him, and then asked Ward for the key, and released his men.

In this way, there are 6 more people in the medicine bottle castle.

The rabbit maid has increased to four, and the burden on Fei Fei and Mei Mei has been greatly reduced.

After a period of recuperation, Zhou Ming organized them into a castle guard, equipped with sophisticated weapons, and Gerjeff served as the captain to guard the castle in shifts to ensure the safety of the castle.

After that, Zhou Ming went back to school and asked the old fox for a month off.

From March 15 to April 15, he did not go to school for a month, but stayed in his castle.

What does he want to do?

Retreat.

Or that I intend to improve myself.

Put down everything at hand, whether it is the cake in the magic cake shop, or the work in the school's pharmacy laboratory, the affairs of the "Menglan" clothing store, and the affairs of the "Pharmacy Factory...... He put it all down for the time being.

I plan to improve my cultivation first.

How to improve?

Improved with the help of the elf Angeli Tika.

After more than a month of recuperation, her strength has fully recovered.

The strength surprised Zhou Ming.

The combat power of the four-ring elf warrior is not only reflected in her strong physique that can draw a ten-stone bow, but also in her magical strength.

Intermediate Magician.

She is also a mid-level magician.

The level of attainment is higher than Zhou Ming.

She has as many as fifty kinds of magic, and the release speed is faster than Zhou Ming's holding a buff staff.

Coupled with her archery skills, if she does her best, Zhou Ming will be the character who will be killed by her in a few moves.

"Tika, since you are so strong, why are you still ambushed by the human slave trapping team and captured by the humans?"

After the day's 'sparring' ended, Zhou Ming, who was defeated, couldn't help but ask.

The female elf's face suddenly darkened, and she was in a very bad mood.

Gritting his teeth, he said in a hateful voice, "Isn't it because of your human cunning?"

"More than a hundred of you are besieging a dozen of us, ten times our number. ”

"There are more than a dozen of you who are strong men of the Great Swordsman level, and they also wear tight armor. ”

"Your weapons are coated with numb, and you will faint if you break a wound. ”

"You abominable humans!"

Angeli Tika glared at Zhou Ming, her eyes blazing.

"Don't don't, please don't stare at me, I'm not a slave catcher, don't stare at me like that. ”

Zhou Ming waved his hand again and again, and hurriedly clarified himself.

"Hmph, you humans don't have any good things anyway!

Angeli Tika turned her head, if she was given a chance to kill all the humans, she would definitely seize this opportunity without hesitation, of course, she also knew that there were indeed one or two good people in the human race, belonging to the innocent category, but they were all damned!

Everything that belongs to the elves has been plundered by the treacherous humans.

Now even the elves themselves have become the "items" that the human nobles are vying to buy, and the dignity of the high has been trampled into the quagmire.

For the elves, the human race is simply the greatest scourge.

In Angeli Tika's heart, the world where all mankind has died is the most beautiful world!

So, she doesn't have a crush on any human.

And every time Angeli Tika has this kind of temper, Zhou Ming doesn't know what to say.

I can only stop stimulating her and talk less about topics that make her unhappy.

And this month, all of Zhou Ming's energy was put into cultivation.

This kind of cultivation is divided into two parts.

One is "meditation practice".

One is "actual combat training".

In the meditation area, the step-by-step speed is the slowest, relying on the [Tranquilizer] to double the meditation effect bonus, he can only be promoted to an intermediate magician after half a year.

That's too slow.

It's too slow.

He has to give himself a "seedling pulling".

Like that Martin, strive to break through to an intermediate magician within a month.

How to break through?

Fountain of Mana: A potion made with Fountain of Mana, which increases Mana by 50 points.

[Super Magic Potion]: A potion used to increase the soul frequency, which can significantly increase the soul frequency.

The Fountain of Magic is a very ancient spring, it is said that the magic contained in it is the purest magic in the world, in ancient times, there were dozens of Fountains of Magic in the entire continent, but now there are only a few, and there are fewer and fewer magic springs gushing out.

Therefore, as the main ingredient for the preparation of the [Magic Spring] potion, the price of Magic Spring Water is getting higher and higher.

It is said that a few drops will cost 100,000 gold coins.

The 50 aftertastes of the [Super Magic Elixir] are not only difficult to buy, but the price is not cheap.

But in the past two months, with the help of various channels, Zhou Ming has gathered all the raw materials for the preparation of the two medicines.

Two potion recipes, Zhou Ming also has ...... in his hand In order to take precautions, he asked Store Manager Hall for a large number of potion formulas before Winnie's blockade, and these two copies were among them.

The total sum of zero and zero cost him a total of 500,000 gold coins.

All the spare money in Zhou Ming's hand was smashed on these two medicines.

Then the preparation of the potion began.

In fact, the requirements for the level of pharmacists in these two types of pharmacies are "senior pharmacists".

If the level is less than this level, the failure rate of the formulation agent is extremely high.

Zhou Ming didn't know his specific level, whether he had reached the "senior pharmacist", he only felt that the process of taking the "intermediate pharmacist" was very easy.

And in the past few months, the total number of various medicines he has prepared has exceeded 50,000 bottles, and there are more than 10 types, and the preparation level should be significantly improved.

Therefore, after all the medicinal materials of the [Fountain of Magic Power] and the [Super Magic Elixir] were in place, he began to prepare them.

Ten days later.

Three medicinal herbs that can be used to make three bottles of [Spring of Magic Power] potion, Zhou Ming succeeded twice, failed once, and got two bottles of [Fountain of Mana] potion.

Five medicinal materials that can be dispensed with five bottles of [Super Magic Potion], Zhou Ming succeeded once and failed four times...... Ultra Potions are chemically unstable, and explosions often occur during the preparation process.

Therefore, he only got a bottle of [Super Magic Potion].

Three bottles of potion, Zhou Ming dried them all.

He was in retreat for another 10 days.

When several items of data on the personal data panel no longer rise significantly, Zhou Ming's strength is as follows-

Rank: Junior Magician

Mana: 110.238 (100 next level)

Sensing range: 250cm (next level 200m)

Soul Frequency: 1.18 (1.20 next)

Energy: 0 (unable to continue meditating)

Among the three values, except for the soul frequency that did not meet the standard, the other two data, Zhou Ming belonged to the category of "intermediate magician".

That is, two of the three managed to break through.

But......

Soul frequency, crucial.

The higher the frequency, the more magic systems you master, and the more powerful the magic you unleash.

Magicians of the same rank, as long as their soul frequency is higher, can release one or two more powerful magic, and they can decide the winner.

Even the soul frequency is more important than the mana value, and it doesn't matter if the soul frequency is a little different, if the soul frequency is different, the difference is obviously big.

And the mana value is not easy to become a bottleneck, as long as you meditate, you can be improved, but the soul frequency can not be quickly improved through simple meditation, and it is even easy to "get stuck" and fall into a bottleneck.

[Super Elixir] can play a little role in the early stage, and after taking a bottle of [Super Potion], Zhou Ming's soul frequency will increase by 0.01.

In other words, if he wants to break through to an intermediate magician, he still needs two bottles of [Super Elixir].

But he no longer had the herbs to prepare the potion.

It can only be improved through comprehension and actual combat.

So he and the elf Angeli Tika had ten days of actual combat training.

Zhou Ming's rapid improvement in strength surprised her.

It's only been ten days or so, and the strength of this human being has changed from a role that she can kill in seconds in a few moves to a powerful magician who can come and go with her for a while.

There were even some powerful combinations of magic that made her embarrassed.

Several times, when it came to magic, the two were tied.

In the end, she relied on her physical advantage, and after catching up with him, after a hand-to-hand fight, the other party chose to surrender and admit defeat.

And in the actual combat competition on this day, because they took two bottles of [Physical Recovery Elixir], the two of them were able to go back and forth in the fist and foot fight, regardless of victory or defeat.

"Wind magic—acceleration. ”

After hitting the back, Zhou Ming, whose magic power had recovered a little, blessed himself with an "acceleration technique", and his speed increased by 50%, his combat power soared, and he actually suppressed Angeli Tika.

"Bang!

"Sweep through a thousand armies!"

After punching the female elf twice in the chest and then sweeping it with her legs, Angeli Tika, who lost her balance, fell down like this.

"Ahh

The elf screamed as the veil on her face fell off and covered half of her face, revealing it - as a perfectionist elf, she certainly didn't want to be seen.

The body was stopped by someone and hugged by the waist, the tendency to fall down suddenly disappeared, and a male breath came to the face.

A smiling face appeared in front of her.

He showed a few white teeth and said, "This time, I should be counted as winning, right?"

"Don't look, don't look. ”

Angeli Tika covered her face with her hands, "Don't look at my face. ”

"Your face is nothing, it's pretty good. ”

The man's words made the elf slightly stunned and asked, "Aren't you afraid, my left face is so ugly?"

"But the right side of the face is the most perfect face in the world, and I noticed the right side of perfection, so I ignored the left side. ”

Angeli Tika's heart felt as if something had struck her, and an imperceptible flush rose up on her cheeks.

Said in her heart: This human man is really good at talking, if she returns to the Elven Forest, the Black Spot Curse will disappear automatically, and she has the most perfect advantage.

Thinking of this, she looked solemn, left the man's arms, picked up the scarf on the ground, turned her back to him, and said something that surprised Zhou Ming:

"I'm getting out of here, I've got my stuff to do, I've packed my stuff, and tomorrow, I'm leaving. ”

"Thank you for your help during this time. ”

Leave?

Zhou Ming was taken aback.

Hurriedly asked her why she was in such a hurry to leave?
