CHAPTER 118: CHAPTER 45: BURIAL GROUND OF THE DEAD

The alchemist is a thirty-something woman with thick tortoiseshell glasses, named Shirley.

Probably because she has been cooped up in the Pharmacy Workshop for years, this little lady’s skin was as pale as her namesake, almost sickly so. This made the light dark circles under her eyes particularly noticeable, as if she lacked sleep and was exhausted, making one worried that this lazy beauty might fall asleep while conducting an experiment.

After Eleanor’s youthful and lively voice, Shirley also raised her head and spoke in a soft voice, "Oh... it’s the Lord. Are you here to look at the potions too?"

"Yes. Are you satisfied with this Potion Workshop in the territory? What potions can be made?"

"Every basic Potion Workshop is just as simple, nothing to be satisfied with or not, just make do with it. Lord, don’t expect me to make any powerful potion with this workshop. Right now I can only make basic recovery potions."

After speaking, Shirley squatted down to rummage through the cabinet, "Huh, I remember I put the finished potions here. Where are the potions? Why can’t I find them?"

"Oh, in this cabinet."

After searching, Shirley’s jet-black hair looked like a messy bird’s nest, with a strand of bangs hanging over her left cheek, covering her eyes.

"Are you all right?" Lin Rui asked with concern.

"Oh, it’s nothing, just bumped my head on the cabinet, feeling a bit dizzy, a nap should fix it. Here is the Recovery Potion, Lord, have a look."

Lin Rui took the potion from her hand and looked at its attributes.

[Basic Recovery Potion: Can be used after exiting combat, restores 60 life points per minute, lasts for 5 minutes.]

Truly a correctly named basic recovery potion, it only restores 300 life points, which for a blood tank like Lundestadte, is merely a drop in the bucket.

But for ordinary lords, it was more than enough. After all, a Tier One level 1 Tank Knight only had about 500 life points, and one bottle of Basic Recovery Potion could restore over half of that.

Even for someone like Eleanor, a Tier Two Muscle Bully, with just over two thousand life points, unless gravely injured, six or seven bottles could restore her condition.

Besides the Priest’s Healing Spirit Skill, there was finally another way to restore life points in the territory.

"What materials are needed to make basic potions?"

"Licorice, bruiseweed, silver leaf grass, and calming flower are needed."

"So many are needed? Where to collect them?"

Shirley raised her head and looked at Lin Rui with vacant eyes, "Pharmacy Skill is one of the most complex knowledge areas on any plane, how could it be successfully created simply and easily? Collecting is not troublesome, these four herbs can be found if searched carefully in the forest. They are often mixed with the berries and mushrooms that hunters usually gather."

So, the forest really is a treasure trove, with very rich resources inside. It’s just that there are too many monsters, requiring the territory to have very strong military power to clean it regularly.

Lin Rui opened Shirley’s status panel.

Her weak physical condition was eye-sore; Lin Rui felt that if he wasn’t careful with his strength, he could exhaust her completely.

What was notable were her two skills.

[Collection Skill lv2: Relatively rich experience allows for quicker identification of herbs and increases collection speed by 20%.]

[Pharmacy Skill lv1: You have understood the craft of pharmacy, but only just barely. This profound field has countless high-level realms waiting for you to explore. Increases pharmacy success rate by 10%.]

"Potions that can be made: Basic Recovery Potion. Potion being learned: Purification Potion."

Lin Rui took three formulas out of his backpack, "Healing Potion," "Basic Bloodline Enhancement Potion," and gave them to Shirley, asking, "Can you make these two potions?"

Shirley glanced down at them, then looked at Lin Rui expressionlessly, "Lord, are you joking? The Basic Bloodline Enhancement Potion requires at least Pharmacy Skill lv10 to attempt. As for the ’Healing Potion’ that could restore life during battles, I could try, but I need to raise my Pharmacy Skill to lv3."

"How long would it take for you to improve your Pharmacy Skill to lv3?"

"If materials are sufficient, I can make 10 Basic Recovery Potions a day. It would take about four days to raise my Pharmacy Skill to lv2. But I’m always sleepy, so I may not be that efficient. Lord, you have to understand, from a medical perspective, always being sleepy is also a kind of illness."

Lin Rui smiled and said, "No worries. What medicine can’t solve, Spiritual Energy usually can. I can help cure this illness. Want to give it a try?"

"Really? Then please, I entrust my body to you."

"Alright, relax your body."

"Ah~~~~~~~~~~~" A sharp scream almost lifted the roof of the Pharmacy Workshop.

Shirley clutched her exposed white and slender waist, her eyes clear and angry, "Lord, why did you stick this thick and long ice stick into my body!"

"Are you still sleepy?"

"..."

"Huh... seems like I’m not too sleepy anymore."

"Then work hard to improve your Pharmacy Skill level. If you need to go into the forest to collect, let me know, I’ll have Audrey arrange a team of undead soldiers to accompany you."

"No need! If I’m not scared to death by monsters, I might be scared to death by undead soldiers."

"What if it’s a handsome, gentlemanly vampire you’re talking about, don’t you need that?"

"Handsome? Gentleman? Amidst flowers? Alone? Oh Lord, I feel my legs going weak. Please do have him accompany me, and lend a hand."

"I’ll satisfy your request once you elevate your Pharmacy Skill to lv3."
