She struggled to slowly get up from the soft, comfortable sofa.

Just then, a crisp, pleasant notification sound rang out: "Ding~"

The sound came from a message sent by a player on my friend list.

Upon hearing this, Jiang An, who had just stood up, instantly lost his balance and, like a deflated balloon, slumped heavily back onto the sofa.

It turns out that the person who sent the message was the same player who had previously exchanged ginseng with her.

You should know that ginseng is a key ingredient in making the Purple Gold Pill!

At this moment, the player who possessed ginseng reappeared, which undoubtedly means that she has ginseng again. In this way, she can refine a few more batches of the extremely precious Purple Gold Pills!

She had anticipated this from the very first transaction; after all, the efficacy of the Purple Gold Pill was undeniable. Anyone who had used it would definitely want to stock up on some for life-saving purposes.

Today's battle with the Ice Bear undoubtedly resulted in many players being injured and in dire need of healing items.

The price of healing potions in the entire 2333 district skyrocketed in an instant, but there were still no potions available even though they were priced!

Looking at the renowned name opposite him, Lu Chenyuan couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. He said with a self-deprecating tone, "I really didn't expect that you would be so powerful as to be ranked second. I'm afraid I'll have to address you as 'Big Boss' from now on! As for me, I'm afraid I can't even come close to you!" His words were full of humility.

However, faced with this praise, Jiang An simply smiled and replied, "It's just luck!" After a brief pause, she added, "You're quite outstanding too, ranking sixth..."

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was quite harmonious, but they quickly brought the topic back to business.

Lu Chenyuan got straight to the point: "Hehe, let's stop with the flattery! Let's get down to business. You probably know why I'm here. Do you have any more Purple Gold Pills? Let's stick to the old deal: one Purple Gold Pill for six five-year-old ginseng roots!"

Today, it was thanks to the two Purple Gold Pills he obtained that he survived the thrilling battle with the Ice Bear and ultimately achieved such a remarkable result as a top ten finish.

Without the powerful healing effects of the Purple Gold Pill, Lu Chenyuan knew he could survive with his strength, but whether he could even make it into the top ten was uncertain!

Upon seeing this, Jiang An was overjoyed and replied without hesitation, "Of course, no problem. How many do you need?"

The price of wound medicine has risen, and the same goes for medicinal materials.

In order to obtain more ginseng, Jiang An has decided to go all out, since he is destined to work through the night to refine the Purple Gold Pill and the Antidote Pill.

Since we're going to be busy anyway, why not make a few more batches?

As long as a sufficient number of Purple Gold Pills can be obtained, all the effort will be worthwhile.

Meanwhile, Lu Chenyuan, on the other side, counted the ginseng in his backpack and said, "3 pieces! Also, I have a ten-year-old ginseng here. I wonder how much I can exchange it for?"

You know, the more of a miraculous medicine like Zijin Pill that is specifically for treating external injuries, the better!

Unfortunately, he had a very limited amount of ginseng. Otherwise, he could have made a fortune by exchanging these ginseng for Purple Gold Pills and then trading them with other players.

However, reality was cruel, because he didn't have much ginseng, and this brilliant way to make money could only remain a pipe dream. Lu Chenyuan pondered this to himself with deep regret.

“Okay, it’s a pleasure to cooperate!” Jiang An replied with unusual generosity.

After a moment's thought, she continued, "As for that ten-year-old ginseng... well, I think you could add two five-year-old plants as well. That way, I'll give you one more. What do you think?"

"No problem, deal!" As soon as he finished speaking, four Purple Gold Pills disappeared from Jiang An's medicine bottle, while twenty five-year-old ginseng plants and a rare ten-year-old ginseng plant suddenly appeared in his backpack.

Afterwards, she and the little turtle beside her quickly ate a sumptuous dinner together, and then they went their separate ways to get busy.

Jiang Anzheng was working tirelessly to refine all kinds of pills;

Meanwhile, the little turtle was also busy, handling a bunch of complicated tasks: collecting eggs, feeding the chicks, watering the plants in the planting pod, and making bows and arrows and other weapons in the workshop.

After a long and intense battle, many players' weapons suffered severe damage, and some were even completely destroyed.

Just then, the arms market experienced another small boom.

Faced with such a golden opportunity, she certainly wouldn't let it slip by. She planned to take advantage of the hype to make as many trades as possible and accumulate more trading points.

Since most players are eager to acquire enough trade points to bid on items at auctions, many players are willing to give up their treasured possessions that they have been reluctant to trade in exchange for trade points.

How could she easily miss such a rare opportunity to snag a bargain?

As fate would have it, the little turtle gained the ability to freely change its body shape last night, and thus naturally became a crucial source of labor in Jiang An's eyes.

Just as Jiang An was happily preparing the materials to refine the Purple Gold Pill, He Zhizhou suddenly sent a message.

First, he congratulated her on winning the runner-up title in the Ice Bear Hunt; then he proposed to exchange Purple Gold Pills with her.

After some back-and-forth communication and negotiation, she ended up losing two Purple Gold Pills from her backpack, but in return, she gained a brand new skill book—"Basic Planting Skills".

Upon receiving it, Jiang An immediately chose to learn and master it without hesitation.

At this moment, she was filled with curiosity, wanting to find out what kind of magical effects this beginner's planting skills book had.

Unfortunately, time is of the essence right now, and there is simply no time to attend to anything else.

While Jiang An was diligently sorting through various medicinal herbs, the four Purple Gold Pills she had left seemed to come alive, one after another, methodically fulfilling their respective missions—being successfully traded away.

At this moment, the next important task facing her was to devote herself wholeheartedly to the tense and exciting process of refining medicine.

Because this process allows no room for distraction or slackness, she immediately turned off the light screen in front of her.

Looking around, there are 30 five-year-old ginseng plants neatly arranged on the table, as well as 30 portions of rare medicinal materials used to refine the Zijin Pill. In addition, there are 3 particularly eye-catching special materials used to refine the antidote pill.

This dazzling array of medicinal herbs together constitutes a total of 33 prescriptions.

After a long and arduous journey, the clock struck 2 a.m., and this extraordinary and arduous journey of alchemy finally came to a successful conclusion.

"Finally finished, I'm exhausted!"

After completing the task, Jiang An did not rest for a moment. Instead, she quickly selected a large portion of the finished products and uploaded them to the auction house without hesitation. Of course, she kept the ordinary Zijin Pills and antidote pills.

Immediately afterwards, she moved to her workshop, took out the bows and arrows made by the little turtle and all sorts of weapons, and displayed them one by one on her own shop shelves.
