Chapter Eighteen: Golden Fragrance Jade

  Qingsong Sword (Bronze Ware)

  Attack: +21-39

  Strength: +5

  Constitution: +5

  Required level: 15

  When I saw this, I couldn't help but laugh with my mouth wide open. It turned out that I had been rewarded a level 15 bronze long sword, and its attack power was actually 39 points! With the additional five points of strength, the actual attack power reached 44 points, which is absolutely the most powerful weapon at present!

  And on the side, Xiao Yu and Liu Yu also leveled up one level each. The two of them couldn't hide their joy on their faces. I smiled and asked: "You two must have gotten some good stuff, take it out and let's see!"

  Several people shared what they got in the team channel. Xiaoyu got a suit of armor, while Liu Yu got a pair of shoes.

  Black Iron Armor of Evergreen Cypress

  Physical Defense: +15

  Constitution: +4

  Required level: 10

  Occupational requirements: Armor class

  Black Iron Shoes (Qing Song Bu Xie)

  Physical Defense: +8

  Constitution: +2

  Required level: 10

  Occupational requirements: Class A driver's license

  "Hey, that's not fair! Why did you get a level 15 bronze equipment while we only got level 10 black iron equipment? The GM is so biased!"

  I thought for a moment and said, "The equipment level is higher than yours probably because I reached level 15 earlier. As for the quality, I often help old ladies cross the road, you know, so my character is solid!"

  "Despise you!"

  Liu Yu also had nothing to say, when we played games together before, it was basically him who killed the BOSS, and I would pick up equipment with him. As a result, most of the time the equipment I picked up was better than his, and apart from using "good luck" as an explanation, I really couldn't find any other reason!

  Of course, he has always refused to admit it!

  Immediately equip Qing Song Sword, attack power surges instantly!

  Player: Heartless Swordsman

  Level: 15

  Occupation: Apprentice Swordsman

  Blood Gas: 350

  Magic: 125

  Attack: 103-121

  Speed: 3.1

  Physical Defense: 54

  Spell Defense: 15

  Reputation: 50701

  Lucky: 0

  Blood energy reached 350 points, and attack power also rose to 121 points. The defense of 54 points is believed to be higher than most swordsmen! I am still relatively satisfied with such attributes, but the magic defense is a bit low. There's no way around it, only bronze-grade armor will add magic defense, and now 15 points are completely added by upgrading one level and adding one point!

  But what makes me the happiest is the reputation points, although I don't know what use they are for now, but more points are always better than less, like Xiao Yu and Liu Yu, who only have a few hundred points, no matter how hard they try, they can't catch up with me!

  After equipping the Qing Song sword, I immediately gave the original iron sword to Xiao Yu, which could increase her attack power by a notch. Just as I was about to leave, the communicator suddenly rang, and when I opened it, it turned out to be the rogue scholar from the newbie village!

  "Haha, Unintentional Sword Guest, I didn't expect it was you who activated the Pet System, too awesome!"

  I smiled faintly: "Just good luck!"

  "Right, you've activated the pet system, haven't you caught any pets? Can I take a look at what kind of pet it is?"

  "The pet is trash, just a fox with no use at all. My sister likes it so I'll give it to her!" I directly refused, if others knew that this level of fox had such high attributes, wouldn't they be scared to death? I still understand the principle of not showing off one's wealth!

  "Is that so? What a pity!" The rogue scholar isn't someone without brains, he should be able to understand what I mean!

  That rascal scholar continued: "I am a person from the Long Xiao Association, we will formally invite you to join the Long Xiao, how about it? Are you interested?"

  Long Xiao? I've never heard of this guild, but when I chatted with Liu Yu before, I learned that many rich people bought out several small guilds in order to become a lord in the game. I guess Long Xiao is one of them. However, I'm not interested in joining a guild for now!

  He directly refused: "This won't work!"

  "Think about it, in the Grand Assembly Hall, teaming up to level up is convenient. You should be a swordsman, right? Our guild has many priests, you can find one to be your exclusive healer!"

  Full-time nanny? The conditions are quite tempting! But if you have the ability, aren't you afraid of not being able to find a nanny? So I said: "No way, my classmate also wants to build a guild, and when that happens, I'll have to go to his place. Classmates, it's embarrassing not to go!"

  "Never mind then, let's level up together next time!"

  "Alright!"

  Turn off the communicator, this rascal thinks he can persuade me to go to Long Xiao, but unfortunately he doesn't know that I have no interest in joining a guild at all. The low-level ones are being ordered around every day, and the high-level ones are being dragged to fight bosses every day, and in the end, they don't even get any benefits themselves. Absolutely not going!

  At this time, the village chief shook his head: "I don't know if the great pharmacist has a way to remove the poison from the well water. If not, we'll have to run for half an hour to fetch water, which is really too much trouble!"

  As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help but think that the poison was put down by Xia Zi, and Xia Zi must have a way to get rid of it. If Da Yao Shi can't do it, then I can take advantage of the situation and threaten him a bit. Who knows, maybe I'll even get some kind of reward!

  I immediately walked towards the great pharmacist, and saw that he was sitting beside a well, shaking his head in front of a bucket of water. It seemed that it was indeed not feasible. I asked with a smile: "Great pharmacist, is this poison really difficult to remove?"

  The great pharmacist nodded: "Indeed, I have never seen such a strange poison. On a person, I can force the toxin out of the body, but in water, I am powerless!"

  Haha, as expected, I hurriedly asked the little purple in the pet space, although she was in the pet space, but she could still communicate with me:

  "Xiao Zi, the village's well water is poisoned, can you find a way to get rid of it?"

  Xiao Zi: "Of course I do! As long as I use my fox saliva, it can be solved!"

  I was overjoyed and said to the great medicine master, "Great Medicine Master, I do have a way to detoxify this poison, but it requires a very precious herb. As long as you don't die, using that medicine can restore your injuries. However, I only have one dose of it, if I use it to detoxify the poison, then I myself will..."

  The Great Medicine Master's eyes widened in surprise: "Oh? You really have an antidote, if you're willing to take it out, I can exchange it with the formula for Golden Fragrance Jade!"

  "What is this Golden Fragrance Jade?" I was taken aback!

  "Jinxiangyu is an ancestral secret recipe of mine, its effect is almost the same as that herbal medicine of yours!"

  I was taken aback: "Then wait a moment!"

  She turned around and ran to a corner where no one could see her, summoning Xiao Zi and saying: "Xiao Zi, give me some fox gall, I need it!"

  "Oh!"

  Only a small purple mouth opened, and instantly a thin stream flowed out, forming a bottle of medicine. Xiao Zi asked: "Brother, what do you want to use this for?"

  I smiled and said: "I want to exchange this for a medicine that can cure serious injuries!"

  "It turns out it's like this, I can make a bottle of this fox sputum every ten minutes, brother, if you need it, just come to me!"

  About the fox drool, I still know that it's actually the fox's saliva. Taking a little bit won't have any effect, but taking too much is definitely not okay. So I said: "This amount is enough, if I need more, I'll ask you for it!"

  Xiao Zi nodded and immediately hid in the pet space. I immediately found the pharmacist and said, "This bottle of medicine can cure the poison of the well water!"

  "Great, this is Jinxuan Yu's formula, here it is!"

  All I saw was the old man raising his hand, a white light shot into my brow, and the system immediately sent a prompt: "Ding! You have learned to refine the elixir [Jin Xiang Yu]"

  "Ding! As you've learned the recipe for advanced potions, your alchemy skill has been upgraded to advanced!"

  Whoa, I've made a huge profit! I learned an advanced alchemy formula and it actually taught me alchemy skills, directly upgrading me to advanced level! (In the world of creation, occupational levels are divided into: Primary, Intermediate, Advanced, Master, Grandmaster, Divine)

  Hastily opening the alchemy panel, it indeed displayed a line: Successfully learned how to refine the elixir 【Golden Fragrance Jade】!

  [Jin Xiang Yu]: Formula is (Blood-colored Tea Flower * 2 + Seven-leaf Grass * 1)! Requires Alchemy Skill: Advanced Alchemy, Effect: Depending on quality, can instantly recover quality * 50 + 150 points of blood gas, can be used once every minute, quality depends on the level of alchemy proficiency!

  If you make high-quality Golden Fragrance Jade, it's no problem to recover several thousand points of blood gas with one mouthful. But if the quality is poor, then it's troublesome! And this quality depends on the proficiency of refining medicine, which requires continuous accumulation of practice, but now I only know how to make Golden Fragrance Jade and nothing else!

  The most crucial problem is that Golden Fragrance Jade requires high-level alchemy skills to make, and the materials needed also require high-level gathering skills to collect. However, I haven't even learned the gathering skill yet, let alone collecting high-level materials. This Golden Fragrance Jade can't be made at all!

  The depressed Zhao Dage looked over and saw that the old man was saying with a happy face: "Haha, the poison in the well water has been solved, I'm leaving!"

  Damn it, he actually ran away just like that! I originally wanted him to help me improve my gathering skills too!

  "Ding! You helped remove the toxins from the well water, and your intimacy with Komatsu Village has increased by 10 points!"

  Oh? And an increase in intimacy?

  Intimacy is a good thing, having high intimacy with an NPC has many benefits, such as receiving tasks that others can't receive. If you have high intimacy with high-ranking officials like the king, who knows, they might reward you with tens of thousands of gold coins when they're in a good mood, and then you'll be set for life!

  The village name of Komatsu Village continues its own life, which also means that we should go find a place to level up!
