Xiao Xie took the enhanced Arnold to the market in Wutan City. Wutan City is indeed one of the large cities in the Jiama Empire, and it is extremely popular. Although it is scorching hot now, the streets are still crowded with people, and you can even occasionally see some strange races.
Xiao Xie took Arnold to various pharmacies to buy the items he needed. Although alchemists make a lot of money, they also spend a lot of money. Fortunately, Xiao Xie has the experience of Yao Lao in alchemy, so the success rate of some low-level pills is 100%. After Xiao Xie made some pills and sold them, he was still quite rich, otherwise the medicinal baths prepared during cultivation alone would have bankrupted Xiao Xie.
After Xiao Xie bought the herbs, he took Arnold to buy some magic cores. Magic cores are also called magic crystals and the prototype of elixir in Douqi Continent. As the name suggests, this is a kind of energy crystal core in the body of the monster, which is filled with extremely violent energy of heaven and earth. For this violent energy, even a Dou Wang dare not risk exploding his body and forcibly inhale it.
However, although the magic core cannot be directly absorbed by people, it is an indispensable main material for alchemists to make medicine. After the alchemists use secret methods to refine the magic core, the violent attribute will be neutralized by some magical herbs, and it will be transformed into various spiritual medicines that countless people covet to enhance their strength, and their value will skyrocket!
In addition, the magic core can also be added to weapons. The weapons blessed with magic cores will not only have greater destructive power, but also have the attractive special effect of increasing Douqi, which is deeply sought after by many in the Douqi Continent.
Of course, in addition to weapons, magic cores can also be added to armor and other items to give the owner a strong defense, so that people can have more life protection when facing danger.
With so many special effects, magic cores have naturally become the most popular mainstream material in Douqi Continent. Not only fighters, but even those distinguished alchemists often look for high-level magic cores all over the world to refine more advanced elixirs.
Driven by this trend, magic cores on the continent are almost in short supply all year round. As long as high-level magic cores appear at auctions or other places, they will be bought at high prices.
The high cost of magic cores naturally created a large number of mercenary groups that specialize in hunting and killing monsters. However, obtaining magic cores is not an easy task.
First of all, Magical Beast arenot only powerful, but also extremely cunning. Due to their fierce nature and special attack method, Magical Beasts are often stronger than human warriors of the same level. Therefore, if you want to hunt Magical Beastt of the same level alone, without extraordinary strength, it is easy to lose more than you gain.
Secondly, not all Magical Beasts have energy crystals such as magic cores in their bodies. This seems to be a random probability. Sometimes, when a mercenary group kills a Magical Beast with half of its members killed or injured, it may end up with nothing. This kind of thing is common in the Douqi Continent and is not uncommon...
Therefore, the value of magic cores in the Douqi Continent has always been above others and is extremely popular.
For Xiao Xie, the magic core has another use, which is can be recycle to get points.The amount of energy is different in each grade of magic core.For grade 1 magic core Xiao Xie can recycle it, and the recycling points are between 1 and 10. A second-level magic core can recycle 1 to 100 points. And so on. For each higher level of the magic core, the upper limit of the points increases tenfold.
However, Xiao Xie is not yet so extravagant as to recycle the magic cores for points. The value of a first-level magic core is about 500 gold coins. It is too wasteful to recycle it directly. After Xiao Xie uses the magic core to refine pills, the value will increase several times, dozens of times, and even hundreds of times.
"Arnold! Let's go back." Xiao Xie called to Arnold who was holding a lot of bags, and Arnold immediately followed him back. It must be said that the Terminator is awesome, obedient and worry-free. It can charge and kill the enemy in front, and can also look after the house and cook in the back. Five-star praise, give it a thumbs up!
...
In the quiet room, Xiao Xie was concentrating on refining the pills, while Arnold stood outside the door and watched closely. After more than five hours, Xiao Xie finally finished refining all the herbs he had bought before. Some of the pills were for sale, and some were for his own cultivation.
Xiao Xie picked up one of the special pill, the Fighter Pill, which was a special second-grade elixir. Its effect could directly increase the Dou Qi of a Dou Fighter-level person by one star.
Xiao Xie took the Fighter Pill to the worship space, opened the strengthening furnace, and put the Fighter Pill in. There were three options displayed on it.
The first option: Spend one thousand points to strengthen it into a three-pattern Fighter Pill, which can increase the cultivation of a fighter-level person by three stars.
The second option: Spend two thousand five hundred points to strengthen it into a six-pattern Fighter Pill, which can increase the cultivation of a fighter-level person by six stars.
The third option: Spend six thousand points to strengthen it into a nine-pattern Fighter Pill, which can increase the cultivation of a Dou Fighter-level person by nine stars.
Xiao Xie looked at the remaining points, more than 6,300 points. After thinking about it, Xiao Xie chose the second option because the third option was too expensive and not cost-effective. Moreover, Xiao Xie was now a one-star fighter. In more than a month, he would be able to break through to a three-star fighter. At that time, he would take the six-pattern fighter pill and just improve his cultivation to a nine-star fighter.
You must know that even if Xiao Xie took the nine-pattern fighter pill, he would not be able to break through to a one-star Dou Master directly. There is a bottleneck between Dou Fighter and Dou Master that cannot be broken by the nine-pattern fighter pill.
So it is better to choose to strengthen the six-pattern fighter pill. In this way, in the next month or so, Xiao Xie can also collect some medicinal materials that can help him break through the bottleneck, refine them into pills, and break through to a one-star Dou Master in one fell swoop.
...
"Octane Blast!"
A cold shout suddenly rang out between the small woods on the top of the mountain.
An agile shadow jumped flexibly in the woods, and the dense thorns in the woods did not bring him any obstacles.
The next moment, the shadow suddenly stopped in front of a tree with a diameter of two centimeters. With his feet staggered, his body tilted halfway, and his elbow hit the tree fiercely.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, wood chips flew everywhere, and spider-like cracks spread along the elbow.
"Crack..." The tree, which was hit by the elbow and had a half hole, made a cracking sound. After a moment, it finally fell to the ground with a bang.
When the tree fell, the shadow, as agile as a monkey, rushed to the tree.
He took a step back and then landed lightly on a green boulder.
Looking at his achievements, Xiao Xie's face was full of joy. In the past month, this was the first time he successfully used the high-level Mysterious-level fighting skill, Octane Blast. This so-called Octane Blast, which was comparable to the low level Earth -grade Dou technique, did not disappoint Xiao Xie's expectations. As a two-star Dou fighter, the destructive power he exerted was enough to match that of an ordinary five-star Dou fighter!
"Continue practicing!" Xiao Xie went to harm other trees.
Half an hour later, the Douqi was completely consumed, and the surrounding trees fell in all directions. Xiao Xie's whole body was like a sponge that had been squeezed dry of water. The sore and numb pain continued to erode his nerves. The blue veins on his arms were throbbing slightly like cramps, which was a sign of overexertion.
Licking his lips, Xiao Xie turned his head slightly with difficulty and looked at his right elbow, which was already red...
"Master! The medicinal bath is ready!" Arnold stripped the exhausted Xiao Xie naked and moved him into a wooden barrel, then went hunting and cooking. Xiao Xie looked at Arnold's departing back, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he closed his eyes and leaned against the wooden barrel to take a nap.
...
Time is like water, always slipping through fingers inadvertently. The hot summer has been replaced by the cool autumn, and the lush green branches are also beginning to be mixed with a little yellow.
It is still the neat little house, with sunlight pouring in and spots everywhere.
In the wooden barrel in the room, the young man closed his eyes, made seals with his hands, and his breathing seemed natural.
After more than four months of hard training, the boy's delicate and tender face has a firmness. His tightly pursed lips reveal a bit of stubbornness. His fair skin, like a woman's, has turned slightly yellow after being beaten and trained for several months. His seemingly not very strong body contains the ferocious explosive power of a cheetah.
