Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Xu Bai returned home, he happened to see Wang Qiang standing at the door with two bags of medicinal herbs.
âBrother Bai.â
Wang Qiang stood up from the ground and looked at Xu Bai, who was walking over. He picked up the two bags of herbs in his hand.
âI got it.â âLetâs buy them separately.â
âRight.â
âItâs been hard on you.â
âNot at all, not at all.â
Xu Bai thanked him and opened the door. He took the bag of medicinal herbs from Wang Qiangâs hand and carried them into the room.
Wang Qiang, who was following behind, also said that it was not difficult. Then, he looked at Xu Bai with a hesitant expression.
After Xu Bai placed the two bags of medicinal herbs on the sofa, he looked at Wang Qiangâs expression.
âWhat happened?â
âYou didnât come back just now. I went to Skinny Monkeyâs house.â
âYes, why?â
Xu Bai nodded and walked towards the wine cabinet. He seemed to have thought of something. âDid Skinny Monkey say something to you?â
After that night, Skinny Monkey left his place and returned to his own house in Block 3.
Still..
For the past few days, in order to be safe, Skinny Monkey had been squatting at home and not going out since he had the upgraded Nine Revolutions Body Refining Technique.
During this period of time, he had asked Wang Qiang to help him purchase food and drinks.
Wang Qiang looked at Xu Bai, who had taken out a wine bottle and wine glass from the wine cabinet. He took a deep breath and took a few steps forward. Then, he looked at Xu Bai. âCan I learn from Skinny Monkey?â
Looks like I was right.
Hearing Wang Qiangâs words, Xu Bai raised his head and looked at Wang Qiang.
When Wang Qiang said that he had gone to Skinny Monkeyâs house, he had already guessed what Wang Qiang wanted to say.
[Name: Wang Qiang]
[Gender: âMaleâ]
[Familiarity: 20021 (Friends of Life and Death!)]
Xu Bai retracted his gaze and handed a glass of wine to Wang Qiang.
âDidnât Skinny Monkey teach you?â âHe said he wanted your permission.â
âHaha.â
Xu Bai smiled and shook his head. âWhat do you mean by permission? If you want to learn, you can ask him to teach you.â
Wang Qiangâs eyes lit up. âBrother Bai, so you agree?â
Xu Bai smiled.
âWhy wouldnât I agree? Why? Did you think I wouldnât agree?â
âNo, I thought
âYou and the others are all my best friends. I wonât be wary of you. If I were, I wouldnât have asked you for help five years ago.â
âBrother Bai!â
Xu Bai finished the wine in his glass and looked at the excited Wang Qiang. He smiled and said, âI originally wanted to find time to tell you guys about this after Iâm done with my work. Itâs good that you know now. Iâm almost done with my work. If you want to learn, let Skinny Monkey teach you. After all, he knows more than me.â What cultivation?
What cultivation?
Xu Bai had no impression of these two.
He would only level up.
Xu Bai did not lie to Wang Qiang.
He did plan to deal with the mess on hand after he was done and had the energy and time to deal with the matter at hand.
In a single sentence.
If he did not trust Wang Qiang, he would not have transferred 100,000 yuan to
Wang Qiang in the afternoon after obtaining the address of the Black Snake Nemo. He also sent the ingredients for the Essence Replenishing Pill to Wang Qiang and asked him to buy it for him.
Back then, the driver who caused his parents and sisterâs car accident was caught by Wang Qiang and the others five years ago for Xu Bai.
The two childhood friends of Old Factory Street still went to the place where the driver was imprisoned every day to look after him.
After all, the dozen or so best friends on Old Factory Street had all been nurtured by him step by step since he was young. His trust in them was not inferior to Team Leader Zhou and Zhu Cong.
After receiving Xu Baiâs affirmative answer without any hesitation, Wang Qiang was excited. Although he did not say anything, his Familiarity value increased rapidly.
Xu Bai seriously suspected that if he allowed Wang Qiang to stay here any longer, the value would soon be off the charts. Thus, he simply chased Wang Qiang out after he finished the wine in his hand.
After all, he still had work to do.
Half an hour later.
Xu Bai washed his hands and sat on the sofa. He looked at the herbs on the coffee table in front of him that had been picked up and sorted into categories.
The next second.
Xu Bai waved his right hand and took out the wooden box containing the
Dragon Heart Herb from his inventory. There was also the Hundred Herbs Visualization Painting that was appraised to be worth 100 million but was actually not a rare calligraphy painting but a visualization diagram.
If a worker wanted to do a good job, he had to sharpen his tools first.
Xu Bai touched his chin and looked at the visualization diagram in his hand. The information appeared in front of him again. He muttered to himself and chose to learn it. At the same time, he directly maxed out the skill.
In an instant.
Xu Bai felt a lot of knowledge surging into his mind. It went from unfamiliar to familiar to familiar, and finally to memorized. It was almost done in one go.
[Cultivation Technique Name: Visualization of Hundred Herbs]
[Cultivation Technique Attribute: Support]
[Quality: Red]
[Current Level: âTen!â]
[Highest Level: âTen!â]
[Cultivation Technique Maximum Level Bonus: Recovery Speed+10%, Recovery Effect of Using Pills+10%]
[Cultivation Technique Effect: Increase success rate of alchemy by 20%, increase quality of medicinal pills by 20%.]
[Note: âLearning to forge and increasing strength is better than this. â]
âNone of your business!â
Xu Bai opened his eyes and let out a breath. He could feel the dispiritedness in his body dissipating. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. âI have plenty of skill points. Iâm inhumane.â
He had already learned to be immune to the systemâs vicious remarks as usual. He had even developed the habit of replying to the systemâs vicious remarks.
Xu Bai clapped his hands. âAlright, the visualization diagram is done. Whatâs next? How do I practice it? By the way, I still need a furnace.â
Alchemy, alchemy.
How could he refine pills without a furnace?
He couldnât possibly go to the kitchen and wash the pressure cooker that hadnât been used in five years and make do with it.
Stop fooling around.
Refining pills was a very professional skill. No matter what, they had to use matching tools. After all, refining pills required a furnace to have a sense of ritual.
Whatâs with the pressure cooker?
It was alright for the poor to pay attention to it.
But he was not poor.
Although he was very poor in reality, it was no exaggeration to say that he was a millionaire in the mall.
With a thought, Xu Bai opened the game store and found what he was looking for in the junk.
The first thing he saw was⊠[Name: Primordial Furnace!]
[Quality: Supreme]
[Effect: Increases success rate by 1,000%.] [Special effect: âIt can suppress luck!!!â]
[Price: âOne billion Game Currencyâ]
[Description: âHeaven and earth have yet to be created, and the primordial chaos is together. This furnace was born from the primordial chaos and was born naturally. It can be said to be the Primordial Furnace!â]
[Name: Heaven and Earth Furnace]
[Quality: âGoldâ]
[Effect: Increases success rate by 1,000%.] [Special Effect: âYou can also refine the five elements!â]
[Price: â500 million Game Currency â]
[Description: âA Supreme picked the first weather and fused the first Earth Qi into it. After refining for 8,880 years, he finally obtained this furnace.â]
Xu Bai looked at the interface that appeared after he clicked on it, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch.
Dog system, you did it on purpose!
He dared to swear that the interface he opened yesterday was normal. At the very least, the price was within his Acceptable range.
But now, as soon as he opened it, he saw the words âpoorâ plastered on his face.
At this moment.
The interface refreshed again. It seemed that after Xu Bai realized that he was poor in reality and in the game, a more normal interface finally refreshed.
At first glance, Xu Bai took a fancy to the first-ranked furnace.
[Name: Wishful Infinite Furnace (Recommendation!)] [Quality: Red]
[Effect: Increase success rate of refining pills by 30%.]
[Special Effect: Engraved with the Ruyi Formation, it can change its size according to the userâs will!]
[Price: â500,000 Game Currency!â]
[Description: âYou donât want to fail your first time refining pills, right?!â]
The furnace was very beautiful. It had two big ears and looked very beautiful. Moreover, the color was the black and white that Xu Bai liked.
ButâŠ
What did this mean?
Was it threatening him?
Xu Bai looked at the description on the furnaceâs status interface. He had a feeling that this sentence was thick, but it was very inexplicable. Whether it was reading it or looking at it, it gave him a strange feeling.
Was it an illusion?
Xu Bai subconsciously looked at the other furnaces. After scrolling down two pages, he returned to the first page, the Wishful Infinite Furnace recommended by the mall.
The other furnaces were cheap, but all in all, they were not as good as this furnace. There were even a few expensive ones, but they did not have the effect of changing the size.
Iâll take this one.
Xu Bai looked at the price and gritted his teeth.
Purchase!
Ding!
âDetected that the player is carrying a rare item refresh card. You can use the refresh card to deduct 100,000 Game Currency. Do you choose to deduct it?â
âDealâŠâ
Xu Bai came back to his senses. When he heard the systemâs voice in his ear, he subconsciously said, but he reacted and braked in time. âNo deduction! I like to shop in full.â
âYou must be joking.â
You want to snatch my Refresh Card, even though I donât know how to use it?
Donât even think about it!
Ding!
[Purchase⊠successful![
[A smiling emoji!]
A ray of light flashed and landed in his inventory.
Xu Bai opened his backpack and saw the Wishful Infinite Furnace that he had spent 500,000 yuan on lying quietly in one of the compartments.
The next second.
Xu Bai waved his right hand and took out the furnace he had just bought from his inventory.
The Wishful Infinite Furnace sat quietly in Xu Baiâs palm. It looked extremely new, as if it had just left the factory.
Xu Bai looked at the Wishful Infinite Furnace and then at the medicinal herbs used to refine the Essence Replenishing Pill on the coffee table.
He blinked.
âI have the herbs.â âI also have a cultivation technique.â
âThereâs a stove.â
âAnd?â âHow?â
âA novice guide?â
