Chapter 406: Refining Potions
Sky Grocery Store.
Just as the Brotherhood is a mecca for mercenaries, the Sky Grocer is a mecca for life pro gamers. Everyone knows that by joining the grocery store, you can not only earn a lot of money, but also learn great skills! The strongest pharmacist, medicine maniac, medicine king; The strongest forger, Tsundere Sycamore, is also here! And recently, a character that is gradually emerging - Fire Thunder has been born.
When Lin Jie first recruited Huo Lei, he was just a junior engineer. Now that it has been advanced to intermediate, it can be used to create silver muskets in bulk, with 10% higher stats than normal muskets and a hatred amplification effect, and many warriors will come to the grocery store to buy a musket for leveling up. Gradually, the fame of fire and thunder also sounded.
"Boss."
"Hello Boss."
Watching Lin Jie walk into the second floor of the pharmacist's exclusive area, many pharmacist apprentices and junior pharmacists hurriedly stood up to say hello. Lin Jie waved his hand, motioned for them to continue working, found an unmanned pharmacy, and got in.

"Lin Jie, the map you said is 'Wener Town', right? I've arrived, and the people here are so pitiful, and I see a lot of children digging up flowers and plants on the ground and peeling the bark of trees to ......eat," he said cautiously, his tone full of pity.
After leaving the Holy Light Ancestral Hall, Lin Jie instructed the remnant members of the Blade Regiment to go to the town near the Demon Cut to brush up on the quest and collect the items needed to destroy the third boss. If you don't remember, you team up with Lin Jie and go to Wener Town.
Lin Jie said, "The NPCs in Wener Town have 0 favorability towards strangers, and you give them some food and fresh water. The friendship level will gradually increase, and it will take about 4 hours to be able to take on the chain of missions in Wener Town. I'm going to refine a batch of potions first, and then I'll go over and join you. ”
Buyi nodded obediently, "Okay, you refine it slowly, I'll quickly give them the food......"
Putting down the intercom, Lin Jie smiled bitterly and shook his head. Girls are more likely to substitute real emotions into the game, which is completely different from themselves. If Lin Jie walked to Wener Town, he would see this scene full of soreness. The first reaction was 'mission.'" Gold, experience'! That's the difference between boys and girls.
"Bella, I have a batch of materials that have exploded on the Frost Shadow Dragon, and you can arrange a group of reliable mid-level armor makers. Blacksmith. Blacksmith. The Enchanter comes over and tells them to rush to proficiency. Lin Jie arranged, and the stupid fox gave himself the materials. There are hundreds! Among them, there is a [Frost Shadow Dragon's Rib], which is like the Great Wall, vast and huge. These are all high-level materials, and the failure rate of refining is almost 100% before the life skills reach the advanced level!
Using high-level materials to rush the proficiency of these intermediate life professional players, such a ruined thing, I'm afraid only Lin Jie can do it.
Take a long-term view of everything, in case one of them goes out of the way. luck, breaking through the bottleneck, and being promoted to senior, isn't there another hen that lays golden eggs? Although this metaphor is a bit too commercial, it is really not wrong, as long as you have the ability, you can make money in the era!
After arranging the matter, Lin Jie exhaled heavily and took out three materials.
The Soul Star Spirit Grass is a translucent soul-like clover, dotted with starry light. This is a medium-grade medicinal herb that only grows in a map with a strong undead aura above level 50, which is very rare, and only thieves can sneak in and steal it out.
Violet algae, a lilac vine, must be soaked in water or it will lose its medicinal properties. The juice is viscous and tastes like honey, in his previous life, Lin Jie once broke into the purple algae refreshed ground demarcated by the Knights of the Dark Descent, was besieged and killed, and gnawed all the violet in a fit of rage, only to find that the taste was good, and now he can't help but swallow saliva when he thinks about it.
Finally, it is a maple leaf-like medicinal herb that is as bright as gold and transparent as crystal, and the golden crystal leaf. Intermediate enchanters have a chance to make it by adding the powder of gem grinding when planting medicinal herbs, and it is worth a lot of money, and the price of one plant is about 10 silver coins.
Counting the cost of fusion potions, decomposition potions, reagent bottles, etc. Crafting a mid-level invisibility flask costs around 1 gold coin, which is expensive.
"It's been a long time since I've been refining potions, so let's calm down first." Lin Jie took a deep breath, refining 1 gold coin at a time, he couldn't help but care. If you fail a dozen times in a row, the loss will be great.
There is also a knack for refining medicine, and the know-how is mostly due to the player's exploration and summary.
For example, the best way to refine violet is to squeeze out all the juice. If the whole pearl of violet algae is thrown in, the vines on the surface will be like garbage, which will have an impact on the alchemy and greatly reduce the success rate. Before refining the Soul Star Spirit Grass, it is best to feed a little blood into it to volatile medicinal properties...... Lin Jie remembers these skills quite clearly. Carefully give full play to the maximum ability of the medicinal materials, add the decomposition potion, fuse the potion, and start refining.
His hands were very steady. Refining medicine must not be in a hurry, the heart is stable, the hand is steady, and the refining power will naturally be high.
A bottle of extremely inconspicuous, water-like elixir slowly appeared.
Bite~
- "You have refined [Intermediate Invisible Elixir], and your Perfect Potion has increased by 2 points proficiently. ”
[Intermediate Stealth Elixir]: When you enter the stealth state, your movement speed is reduced by 35%, and you gain an additional 10 hidden bonuses for up to 1 minute. The cooldown time of the flask is 5 minutes.
The stealth of ordinary thieves has a movement speed of 100%, an additional 40 hidden bonuses, and a duration of up to 5 minutes, which can achieve almost unlimited stealth, which is much better than the effect of this potion.
But Lin Jie is a fighter! This is where this potion is powerful, and it is not restricted to professions.
Finding the feeling, Lin Jie grasped the refining, and bottles of intermediate-grade invisible elixirs were born. Although he is very serious, the success rate is only around 60%.
After 3 hours, all the materials were gone, and there were 20 more bottles of intermediate stealth potions in my hand!
The mid-grade stealth elixir is no better than the Blood Bottle Demon Bottle, which requires careful manufacturing and is difficult to mass-produce.
Packing 20 bottles of potions into his backpack, Lin Jie teleported to the small town of Wener to meet up with Misembrance. The town of Wener was a wretched town that had been invaded, and all the sturdy young villagers were taken captive, leaving the old people and children to survive on weeds, tree bark, and animal carcasses.

- "You've entered the town of Won, +5 knowledge. ”
- "You discovered this dilapidated town during your travels, and you were keenly aware that there were almost no young people in the town, and you decided to investigate the situation here. Until then, it seems like you should get the townsfolk to agree that the disaster has made it impossible for them to trust anyone. ”
- "You accept the quest [Disaster in the Town of Win]
Content: Inquire about the past of the town of Wind.
Rewards: ???
The reward for this quest that appears as a question mark is that there is a clue about the third boss! The system deliberately marked with a question mark, which is clearly to remind the player that 'there are clues here', as long as you are careful, it is not difficult to find the abnormality of this town.
To complete the quest, you must first farm the townfolk opinion. It's easy, give them food and water, and keep wandering around the town, and don't leave the town of Win during this time, or the townspeople will think you're suspicious and just come to inquire about the situation.
Fortunately, Lin Jie was prepared......
"You're here?" Buyi was squatting not far away, beckoned to Lin Jie, and hurriedly sent the bread in his hand gently into the mouth of the little guy lying on the ground and dying, this NPC little guy was skinny and skinny, vomited continuously, and the corners of his mouth were bloody, obviously eating the corpse of some rotten animal. I didn't remember feeding him water with a worried face, and Dai's eyebrows frowned slightly, "It's so pitiful......"
Lin Jie said, "The task is important, let him go, continue to give food to other townspeople, and ask a little about the situation in the village and town." ”
"Okay...... "Buyi rubbed the little guy's hair and was about to get up.
If you don't remember coming to the town of Wener for 3 hours, it will take another hour to gain trust. However, girls will have an additional bonus for doing this kind of 'gain the favor of NPCs', so it's about the same.
To the surprise of the two, the thin little guy in front of them suddenly spoke up.
"Big sister, do you want to inquire about the situation in the town? I can sue you ......" The NPC little guy sat up breathlessly and said, "A few years ago, maybe more than ten years ago. There was a missionary in the town who preached all day long......"
The general content of the story is that the missionary from the village is actually a demon, and the brave adults and young people use their wisdom to kill him at night, and then they find that the strength in their bodies has increased greatly, and they begin to eagerly increase their strength, and instead leave the village en masse and embark on the routine of slaughtering demons.
Next, it is the routine that is introduced into the demon incision, and it is even more degraded. Brainwashed by the Holy Light, he regarded himself as righteous and guarded in the Holy Light Ancestral Hall.
"I heard that Midden, the most powerful big brother in the village, went to the hillside behind the town and then went to the mayor's house when he left, you might want to ask the mayor." After the NPC little guy finished speaking, he sat on the ground panting, without extra strength.
The content of the mission has also changed: find the mayor and inquire about the secrets of the year.
"Let's go, let's go to the back hillside." Lin Jie walked directly towards the back hillside with no memory. This quest is a chain quest, and after finding the mayor, he will only say part of the content, asking you to move on to the next NPC and entrust you with a mission, either to kill monsters, or to buy supplies, etc...... Until the end, do one day at a time. The final content of the night quest will also point here: the back hillside.
Therefore, it is important to listen carefully to the dialogue of the NPCs.
In his previous life, Lin Jie was also played by the NPCs in Wener Town, and finally found out that he had actually pointed out the mission location from the beginning. This time, he definitely won't do it again.
The back hillside is filled with countless corpses, bones, and mass graves. Unwilling to go to hell, the dead body climbed to the surface again and became wandering spirits.
[Foraging Undead]: Level 45 undead, 30,000 health
Hundreds of undead wandered aimlessly, and on the top of the back hillside, there was a bulge, as if something was buried. (To be continued......)
