Leaving

Leaving

The moment the Class-Change Scroll was crushed, its fragments turned into specks of white light.

Once the Class-Change Scroll had completely shattered, all the specks of light instantly gathered and drilled into Li Xuan's mind.

The enormous flood of information made Li Xuan's head buzz. The next second, his eyes flew wide open.

"Ah!"

Li Xuan let out a pained roar, then clutched his head and rolled around on the bed in agony.

The intense pain lasted a full half hour before gradually easing.

Li Xuan slowly relaxed as well. He lay weakly on the bed, his face pale and his clothes soaked through with cold sweat, staring blankly at the ceiling.

After resting for quite a while longer, Li Xuan regained some strength and climbed out of bed.

"An Alchemist really is a profession that defies heaven and earth. Even refining a first-grade Elixir involves so many details." Li Xuan casually grabbed a bedsheet beside him and wiped the cold sweat from his face. The lingering fear remained; that pain had been truly terrifying.

Moreover, Li Xuan had not absorbed all the inherited knowledge of an Alchemist. He had only absorbed the methods for refining first-grade Elixirs, along with many methods for extracting medicinal ingredients.

Elixirs were divided into nine grades. First grade was the foundation, while ninth grade touched the divine. Just the methods for refining first-grade Elixirs had made Li Xuan suffer intense pain for half an hour.

He did not dare imagine how much information the inheritance of ninth-grade Elixirs contained.

As for the remaining Alchemist inheritance, it existed in Li Xuan's mind in a sealed state. As long as his secondary profession level increased, he could absorb that knowledge.

Suddenly, Li Xuan remembered something.

"Wait, System, why does this inheritance I just received only contain three first-grade Elixir formulas?" Li Xuan raised his brows and questioned the System in surprise.

This inheritance was incomplete!

It was defective!

[Notice: This system has recorded a total of 4,721 first-grade Elixir formulas. Of these, 1,427 are basic formulas, 412 are rare formulas, and the rest are ordinary formulas.]

[Upon activating the Alchemist secondary profession, you may obtain three basic Elixir formulas. These three formulas are complimentary gifts. To acquire other formulas, you may raise your secondary profession level or purchase them from the System Mall.]

"You greedy merchant! I have to buy Elixir formulas from you too?" Li Xuan snorted irritably.

However, Li Xuan was already used to the System's temperament, so he was not truly angry. After grumbling once, he calmed himself, closed his eyes, and began recalling the three formulas included in the Alchemist inheritance.

The first Elixir was called the Spirit-Nurturing Pill. It was used to increase cultivation speed and was refined from seven ordinary medicinal ingredients. It could increase the cultivation speed of Spirit Masters below level twenty, but as it was only a first-grade Elixir, it was useless to high-level Spirit Masters.

The second Elixir was called the Fasting Pill. It was refined from four types of grain and eight medicinal ingredients. After taking it, one would not need to eat for seven days, though drinking water was still necessary. It was truly an essential resource for travel and home.

The third was called the First-Grade Detoxification Pill. As a first-grade Elixir, it possessed only limited detoxifying effects and required twelve ordinary medicinal ingredients to refine.

All three were first-grade Elixirs and relatively easy to refine, making them perfect for Li Xuan to practice with.

Li Xuan closed his eyes and organized the Alchemist inheritance in his mind once more, deepening his memories before immediately getting out of bed.

Although Li Xuan was more or less safe now, he could not completely relax yet. He needed to purchase supplies and leave this place as soon as possible—the farther from Spirit Hall, the better!

After leaving the inn, Li Xuan first went to a carriage dealer. If nothing unexpected happened, he feared he would have to wander the world for a long time. A spacious carriage could provide him with a stable place to live, sheltering him from wind and rain.

After carefully selecting one, Li Xuan finally chose a medium-sized, four-wheeled carriage pulled by two horses. It was about one and a half meters wide and two meters long, enough for Li Xuan to use as a mobile home.

After buying the carriage, Li Xuan bought several flowerpots and took the Void Grass, Lucky Four-Leaf Clover, and Dark Domain Ghost Orchid out of their vat.

Previously, in order to save effort, Li Xuan had no choice but to cultivate the three medicinal plants without soil.

Now that he had taken the three plants out, their stems were still quite upright. It seemed that even diluted Green Spirit Liquid could maintain a plant's vitality.

Next, Li Xuan transferred the three plants into the flowerpots, took out the diluted Green Spirit Liquid from before, and poured some onto each of them. Then he summoned the Little Green Bottle and poured the Green Spirit Liquid it had condensed today onto the Void Grass.

After absorbing the Green Spirit Liquid, the Void Grass rapidly began to grow. A few minutes later, Li Xuan obtained another new Void Pearl.

Li Xuan needed to purchase as many supplies as possible next, which meant he needed more storage space. The five Void Pearls in his possession were no longer enough.

After Cultivation of the Void Pearl, Li Xuan pressed the mechanism on his belt and placed the Void Pearl inside it.

Li Xuan parked the carriage in the inn's rear courtyard, found several restaurants, and ordered dozens of tables' worth of food. The space inside a Void Pearl was fixed; whatever state something was in when placed inside was the state it would be in when taken out. Storing hot meals was also a way for Li Xuan to improve his quality of life.

Next, Li Xuan bought more than a dozen sets of clothes, all kinds of tools, some dry rations and drinking water, several books, and a map of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Once he had purchased nearly everything he needed, Li Xuan retrieved the meals he had ordered and placed them into the Void Pearls while they were still hot.

Finally, Li Xuan went to an apothecary. Under the shopkeeper's shocked gaze, he bought out all twenty-odd medicinal ingredients needed to refine the Elixirs. Those ingredients alone took up the space of two Void Pearls.

Li Xuan had now purchased nearly all the supplies he needed. It was time to leave.

After leaving the apothecary, Li Xuan looked up and realized that night had already fallen.

"Looks like I'll be sleeping rough tonight." Li Xuan shook his head helplessly, then went to the inn to retrieve his carriage. Before the city gates closed, he left the city and drove out into the wilderness.

About twenty kilometers from the city, Li Xuan stopped. He mixed some lower-quality medicinal ingredients with grass and fed them to the two horses, then began eating in the carriage compartment by himself.

Back in the compartment, Li Xuan took out a plate of food and a bowl of rice and began eating heartily. As he ate, he took out the map and began searching for his next route.

The city Li Xuan had just left was called Baifeng City. It lay on the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and Spirit Hall, only two hundred kilometers from Spirit City.

"The Heaven Dou Empire is a good destination. There aren't any particularly powerful Spirit Masters there, so I can develop freely for a while." Li Xuan chose his next direction as he ate.

After eating, Li Xuan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, tied up the horses, and returned to the carriage compartment. Before long, he fell asleep.

May all of you readers be happy every day. Just one day left until the weekend—keep it up, perseverance is victory...
