"Then take this too. This potion has no side effects and can restore 50 HP in a short time. Keep it for later use. Go back and get a good rest tonight. Come find me when you have time tomorrow."
The Village Chief firmly shoved the potion into Yun Xi's hands, clearly aware that she had saved his two grandsons.
His request for Yun Xi to find him tomorrow was his way of formally expressing his thanks.
Yun Xi did not refuse again. She knew the Village Chief was worried about his two grandsons.
The middle-aged man arrived just in time.
From what Yun Xi could tell, he had suffered only some superficial injuries. Since he had been able to kill a Level Two Rat Fiend alone, his warrior level was certainly not low.
When the middle-aged man arrived, he happened to hear the conversation between his father and Yun Xi and also learned that Yun Xi had saved his two sons.
Finally, the coldness he had shown toward Yun Xi from the very beginning completely faded from his eyes, replaced by faint gratitude.
After bringing the two wounded men back to the bonfire, Yun Xi did not disturb the family reunion and went straight back to her little wooden hut.
Tonight's crisis had passed. No other fiends should come to cause trouble. The bonfire's earlier abnormality had probably been caused by the Rat Fiend leader's Abnormal Arts. It had merely wanted to bring its rats and descendants over to try their luck.
Unfortunately, it had not expected the Village Chief to be a powerhouse above Level Ten. It had ended up overturning in the gutter.
Yun Xi sat cross-legged on the straw-covered bed and opened her personal panel.
During the battle, she had obtained a total of 10 Freedom Attribute Points and 3 Freedom Skill Points. She had evenly distributed all the Attribute Points between her two main attributes.
Previously, her two main attributes had been—[Spirit: 29] [Physique: 6].
Now, they had become—[Spirit: 34] [Physique: 11].
She had increased her Physique not only because her HP was too low, but also because Physique affected her Agility and Strength.
With sufficient Freedom Attribute Points, Yun Xi would not be stingy about adding more Physique to protect her life.
In addition, she had killed 9 Level One Rat Fiends and 2 Level Two Rat Fiends, gaining a total of 90 + 40 experience points.
On the Godfall Continent, the experience required to level up before Level Ten was not high. Each level required (current level × 10) experience points.
From Levels 10 to 20, the requirement became (current level × 100) experience points, and so on.
The 130 experience points directly raised Yun Xi to Level 4, granting her 8 Freedom Attribute Points and 4 Freedom Skill Points.
[Basic Panel] [Name: Yun Xi] [System ID: ******826927] [Race: Human] [Age: 20] [Level: 4] [Experience: 30/50] [HP (110/110)] [Spiritual Energy (24/340)] [Class Panel] [Main Class: Sorcerer] [Sub-profession: Chef] [Freedom Skill Points: 7] [Attribute Panel] [Spirit: 34] [Physique: 11] [Luck: 92] [Maximum: 100] [Cannot be freely increased] [Charisma: 96] [Maximum: 100] [Cannot be freely increased] [Freedom Attribute Points: 8]
After thinking it over, Yun Xi once again evenly distributed the 8 Freedom Attribute Points gained from leveling between Spirit and Physique.
[Spirit: 38] [Physique: 15]
She distributed the 7 Skill Points among her Sorcerer skills.
[Spiritual Energy Control LV4: A Sorcerer-exclusive skill that allows free control of spiritual energy. Control strength is determined by the user's Spirit.]
[Basic Waterball LV3: Consumes 10–300 points of spiritual energy and condenses a small waterball. It can deal a maximum of 124–414 points of water-element spell damage to fiends (Spirit × Skill Level + spiritual energy consumed).]
[Basic Water Arrow LV3: Consumes 10–300 points of spiritual energy and condenses a small water arrow. It can deal a maximum of 124–414 points of water-element spell damage to fiends (Spirit × Skill Level + spiritual energy consumed).]
Spiritual Energy Control was a Sorcerer-exclusive skill. The levels of other spells could not exceed its limit.
After Water Ball Technique and Water Arrow Technique reached LV3, the maximum spiritual energy they could use and their attack power had changed drastically.
With a single spell, Yun Xi could deal 414 points of damage, enough to instantly kill a Level Two Rat Fiend.
This was thanks to her high Spirit. An ordinary Level Four Sorcerer, even with a maximum initial Spirit of 10 and all 8 Freedom Attribute Points gained from leveling added to Spirit, would have at most 18 Spirit.
Their maximum spiritual energy would be only 180 points. With the same LV3 skill, they could deal at most (18 × 3 + 180) = 234 points of damage.
In practice, however, every spell skill dealt more efficient damage when using the minimum amount of spiritual energy.
Yun Xi only needed to consume 10 points of spiritual energy to deal 124 points of damage. After consuming 10 × 4 points of spiritual energy, she could exceed the damage dealt by consuming 300 spiritual energy all at once.
Consuming a huge amount of spiritual energy in one go was suitable only for instant kills, not ordinary battles. It was not cost-effective.
Coming back to herself, Yun Xi looked at the potion the Village Chief had given her.
Without learning Appraisal Skill, Yun Xi could not identify the potion's true effects. However, judging by the condition of the two wounded men, their injuries had slowly begun to heal after they drank the potion.
Yun Xi looked around the hut and decided to place the potion in the small cabinet beside the bed.
Unfortunately, the Novice Village where she had spawned was too small. She could not buy any decent supplies there. Otherwise, she could have purchased a storage item and put the potion inside.
Her soul-bound space was also packed full of Red Crystal. Although she had extracted 10,200 Red Crystals earlier, the freed space was not very large. She would keep it for other important items.
After finishing all this, Yun Xi closed her eyes and began absorbing the spiritual energy in the air. She stopped only after her spiritual energy reached its upper limit of 380 points.
It was only midnight, with several hours remaining before dawn. Yun Xi directly opened the system and chose to log out.
This time, after returning to Blue Star, she planned to change class to become an "Apothecary."
After changing out of her Coarse Cloth Robe, Yun Xi headed straight for the largest bookstore in the city and bought every medical book she could find. In particular, she did not miss a single book related to traditional Chinese medicine formulas.
Western medicine was somewhat difficult for Yun Xi to produce, while traditional Chinese medicine was comparatively simple. At the very least, she could find some methods for making traditional Chinese medicine online.
Yun Xi first needed to personally produce an effective potion and then infuse it with spiritual energy before she could change class to become an "Apothecary."
She chose the simplest Angelica Blood Replenishing Soup: 20 grams of astragalus, 6 grams of angelica...
Just as Blue Star recipes would be recognized by the system, Blue Star medicine formulas would also work as long as they were effective.
