Side Profession: Alchemist!

Chapter 46: Side Profession, Alchemist!

Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window onto Li Xuan's face, he reluctantly opened his eyes—only to close them again the moment he did.

The soft bed and warm blankets were like a pair of giant hands, firmly holding Li Xuan in bed and refusing to let him leave.

"Comfortable!" Li Xuan closed his eyes, stretched lazily, and softly uttered two words.

It was only in the early hours of yesterday morning that Li Xuan and Bai Wen had arrived in this city, rented two rooms at this inn, and settled down safely.

Last night had been the most comfortable sleep Li Xuan had had since transmigrating.

There was no pressure from Chrysanthemum Douluo, no constant anxiety in the Flower Sea. Everything felt so relaxed and pleasant.

After lounging in bed for a while, Li Xuan finally crawled out from beneath the blankets unwillingly.

After washing up and changing into a new outfit, Li Xuan headed straight for Bai Wen's room.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

When he reached Bai Wen's door, Li Xuan gently knocked.

But after waiting for a while, the door did not open. Li Xuan pricked up his ears and listened, yet there was not the slightest sound inside.

"Brother Bai Wen, are you awake? Want to go get something to eat?" Li Xuan tried pushing the door to Bai Wen's room and easily pushed it open.

Looking at the empty room, Li Xuan froze for a moment.

"I didn't expect Brother Bai Wen to leave before me. Looks like I underestimated him." Li Xuan looked at the empty room, smiling as he shook his head.

Now that Li Xuan and Bai Wen had completely left the Flower Sea's territory, they were basically safe.

However, once Chrysanthemum Douluo discovered that Bai Wen and Li Xuan had escaped, he would surely issue a wanted order. At that point, it would be dangerous for the two of them to stay together.

Li Xuan and Bai Wen had only temporarily teamed up to escape the Flower Sea. They did not have any deep friendship; they had merely shared the same goal at the time.

But now that they were safe, neither could guarantee that he would not be betrayed, so this was the best time to part ways.

Originally, Li Xuan had wanted to say goodbye to Bai Wen before leaving, but who would have thought that Bai Wen would be even more cautious than him and leave in the middle of the night?

"Ah, I was going to give Brother Bai Wen some Gold Soul Coins for travel expenses, but he ran off first." Li Xuan smiled and shook his head, then backed out of Bai Wen's room and closed the door.

After leaving Bai Wen's room, Li Xuan returned to his own.

Chrysanthemum Douluo would probably discover his escape today or tomorrow, so Li Xuan still had at least one day left.

So Li Xuan decided!

He would thoroughly enjoy city life.

No sooner said than done. Li Xuan immediately left his room and began wandering the streets.

Suddenly, Li Xuan stopped in front of a hot spring bathhouse. He decided to take a bath first.

Li Xuan had killed Lin Mo, dug a tunnel, and then traveled nonstop for two days and one night. Now, only a bath could let him completely relax.

He entered the bathhouse, rented a private room, changed clothes, and lay down in a bath barrel, enjoying the warm spring water.

Li Xuan had money now, so naturally, he bought the best of everything.

Lying in the warm spring water, Li Xuan felt both his body and soul relax at once.

Just as Li Xuan closed his eyes to rest, the surrounding Soul Power began silently gathering toward his body.

This Soul Power slowly seeped into Li Xuan's body, but as he lay in the pool, he did not notice anything unusual.

It was only when his body was filled with Soul Power and his meridians began to ache slightly that Li Xuan finally reacted.

Feeling the immense Soul Power within his body, Li Xuan blinked in confusion.

The next second, a sudden change occurred.

"Pop..."

"Pop..."

Under Li Xuan's bewildered gaze, his Soul Power Level rose by two levels in succession.

If Li Xuan had not felt his Soul Power increase, he would have thought he was hallucinating.

"What? Why did my Soul Power Level suddenly rise by two levels? And why did my cultivation suddenly improve? I don't even know how to cultivate!" Li Xuan blinked blankly.

[Detected that the host's state of mind has improved. The System Mall is beginning its update.]

"What? The System Mall updated?" Li Xuan muttered with a frown. Before he could process one confusing thing, another had already arrived.

However, the system prompt also let Li Xuan know that his cultivation had improved because his state of mind had broken through.

What Li Xuan did not know was that he should have broken through long ago. While digging the Stone Wall Tunnel, he had spent an entire week doing only two things each day: releasing Soul Power and absorbing firepower.

Moreover, Li Xuan's talent was exceptional. Even without cultivation, as long as he used his Martial Soul often enough, his Soul Power could slowly improve.

It was just that Li Xuan had never cultivated and did not know how to cultivate, so he had never broken through. Otherwise, he would have done so long ago.

Now that his state of mind had improved, his cultivation breakthrough was simply a natural progression.

[System Mall update complete. Please check it promptly.]

"It updated that quickly? System, open the mall." Li Xuan narrowed his eyes and softly spoke to the system.

Recently, the items refreshed in the System Mall had either been too expensive or not very useful. And Li Xuan had been eating well lately, so he no longer needed to exchange points for boxed meals or water.

Since he had not exchanged much, he had naturally saved up quite a few points.

[System Mall successfully opened...]

[Braised Bear Paw ×1... 10 points]

[Sanyuan Brew ×1... 20 points]

[Qingyun Brew: Recipe (Tier 1) ×1... 500 points]

[Alchemist Side Profession Class Transfer Scroll (Special Price)... 500 points (Original Price: 1,000,000 points)]

[The System Mall refreshes daily. One special-price item is available each day.]

"Alchemist?" Li Xuan stared excitedly at the light screen before him. His hand moved faster than his mind as he immediately tapped exchange, spending five hundred points to obtain the Alchemist Class-Change Scroll.

As a flash of light passed, a palm-sized white jade scroll appeared in Li Xuan's hand.

"So this is the Alchemist inheritance? Do you know how long I've waited for you?" Li Xuan's face was filled with delight as he held the scroll in trembling hands.

Ever since Li Xuan learned that he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent and was in the Flower Sea, he had spared no effort in collecting all kinds of Heavenly Treasures seeds, all so that he could refine Elixirs.

With the aid of Elixirs, combined with Li Xuan's current talent, as long as he obtained a Martial Soul cultivation method, he could become a Title Douluo at the fastest possible speed.

And with the aid of Elixirs, Li Xuan would certainly be able to reach for that legendary Level 100!

After waiting so long, he had finally obtained this side profession.

However, Li Xuan quickly calmed himself down. He placed the scroll into the Void Pearl, then lost all interest in bathing. He hurriedly washed the grime from his body, changed clothes, and walked out of the bathhouse.

He rushed straight back to the inn.

Li Xuan no longer had any mood to purchase supplies. His mind was filled entirely with the Alchemist Class-Change Scroll inside the Void Pearl.

Li Xuan could not wait to find out what exactly the Alchemist inheritance contained.

After returning to the inn, Li Xuan locked his room door from the inside, sat on the bed, and fiercely crushed the Class-Change Scroll in his hand.

Wishing all you readers happiness every day! We've entered a new map—can you guess where the next map will be?
