Free Web NovelChapter 181: Chapter 123: Crimson Fire Achieved, Perfect Control
’These people come from prominent families, especially that Ruan Hui. He definitely has Elite Level experts protecting him.’
’Killing him won’t be hard, but the important thing is finding the perfect opportunity, and...’ Lu Chao’s gaze deepened. He knew exactly what was most critical.
’I can’t expose my identity.’
’The more determined I am to act, the more thorough my plan must be.’
’Otherwise, even if I succeed in the moment, the people behind them will retaliate.’
At that thought, he pushed the idea to the back of his mind.
’You have to be patient when planning something major. Rushing in would be asking for trouble.’
He then turned his full attention to the thermostatic furnace in front of him.
Thanks to the increase in his Spiritual Power, the duration of his [Flow State] talent had also been extended.
Leveraging the knowledge he had accumulated over the past few days, he successfully grasped a potion formula from the book of Magic.
[Basic Stamina Recovery Potion: Requires Intermediate Mutant Beast Life Essence as its core, combined with thirty milliliters of cold dew, ten grams of white Crystal Stone powder, and six mineral elements...]
The details of the formula flashed through his mind, and the specific brewing steps no longer posed any difficulty for Lu Chao.
SIZZLE...
He tossed the required medicinal ingredients and Crystal Stones into the thermostatic furnace one after another.
Furthermore, the breakthrough in his [Crimson Fire] visualization technique had augmented his five senses with Spiritual Power, making the brewing process a good deal easier.
He could clearly perceive the refinement and fusion of each medicinal property, and it was no longer a struggle.
Though he encountered some minor setbacks, he resolved them with ease.
Finally, amid a boiling, gurgling sound...
...all the elemental properties within the furnace merged into one, leaving only a jade-green liquid potion.
[Basic Stamina Recovery Potion]
[Quality: Inferior]
[Effect: Contains certain biological elements and special energy. For those below Professional Level, consumption will increase stamina recovery by thirty percent. For those at the Fighting Level, it will be doubled...]
As the information surfaced in his mind, Lu Chao breathed a sigh of relief.
He had mastered yet another basic potion.
While it wasn’t a nutritional potion, it was still quite significant.
After all, stamina recovery was crucial for both using abilities like [Adrenaline] and overcoming the resulting state of weakness.
Even as a basic recovery potion, it could yield surprisingly good results when combined with the effects of [Basic Toughness].
Moreover...
’It seems the potion formulas from the book of Magic are legitimate.’
A glint flashed in his eyes as he dispelled some of his underlying worries.
The formula had come from the book of Magic, which was exactly why he had wanted to test it first and determine if it was authentic.
’In that case, I don’t need to be in a hurry to trade for more potion formulas. I can just use the ones from the book of Magic.’
’However, I do need to earn more merits as soon as possible. That’s the only way I can trade for new knowledge on basic and intermediate Superpower Potions.’
A light gleamed in his eyes. Lu Chao’s plan was clear, and he had no intention of slowing down.
Whether it was increasing his Potential Progress or developing his Life Energy, everything depended on his identity as an Alchemist.
With that thought, he moved with practiced skill, quickly pouring the boiling [Basic Stamina Recovery Potion] from the furnace into a vial.
Then...
He looked over at the storage cabinet.
At some point, he had accumulated six basic Life Potions, the jade-green liquid within the glass vials radiating a unique vitality.
These were all potions he had brewed by working from dawn to dusk, squeezing time out of his busy schedule of martial arts training and patrol duty.
’If I drink them one by one, the effect will be too weak. It’s not worth it.’
’I’d be better off giving them to Yuanqing and having him sell them to the Prosthetic Clinic for me...’
Lu Chao did a quick calculation. Even if the buyback price varied, six basic Life Potions should fetch at least thirty or forty thousand.
Then, using his intranet access and adding the spare cash he had on hand, he should be able to buy two intermediate-grade potions.
That way, he could maximize the effects, whether for increasing his Life Energy or accelerating his Potential Progress.
’Hopefully, I can improve a bit more before the dojo’s arranged match.’
Lu Chao took out all the potions and closed the cabinet.
Then, he headed straight for the training hall, hoping to achieve a breakthrough in his [Rock] Martial Skill soon.
