Chapter 47 Proficiency Growth
Gu Qing smiled and looked at the other person, "I'd like to buy some items, could you please recommend some to me?"
The waiter's service was impeccable, with a smile. "Madam, you're too kind. If you're buying supplies, please come this way."
Following the direction he pointed, Gu Qing and the other person went directly to the right, with the waiter trailing behind by half a step as he walked and introduced the place.
"Our Qiu family mainly deals in products related to exotic plants and animals. We have a full range of products and transparent pricing. Customization is also available if needed."
"We will provide you with the items you need in the shortest possible time." The waiter spoke calmly and clearly, his manner humble and polite.
This immediately increased Gu Qing's positive impression of the store.
"Let's take a look at something related to exotic plants!" Her voice was light and pleasant, giving people a lively and cheerful feeling.
Knowing her general purchasing intentions, the waiter led them to the area where exotic plants were located, where everything from seeds to elixirs was readily available.
Even if they don't have it, you can still order from them. They will then transfer it from another branch. For items that are particularly hard to find, they also maintain their own hunting teams, which can be used to find specific items.
Gu Qing looked at it for a while, and finally bought a seed of a dragon blood fruit tree. She thought that she might be influenced by the dragon blood tree in the front hall.
She chose seeds from a dragon blood tree that had grown for 50 years.
But I don't regret it. I plan to plant these seeds once my purification and planting levels are both upgraded to C-level.
With that in mind, she asked for some short-term purification plants, planning to plant them when her purification ability reached level D, so that she wouldn't have a gap period.
I always feel like I have everything I need, but I still spend a lot of money when I go shopping, and I end up throwing all sorts of stuff into my storage space.
After the two returned home and finished eating, they started sending messages to invite friends over for dinner, and then Chen Xingheng went to training.
Gu Qing went to do crystal core purification, and then took a bath. After all, she had exceeded her exercise limit for the day, but the exercise was not completely over yet.
After all, the two are still newlyweds, so exercising more is a perfectly normal thing to do.
After waking up in the morning, Chen Xingheng had to go back to the camp. Gu Qing went straight to the alchemy room; she needed to quickly improve her alchemy proficiency.
She had a whole day today, and she planned to practice first-tier medicine directly. She had summarized the publicly available first-tier medicine prescriptions.
The Essence Pill replenishes the mental energy consumed.
The Cleansing Elixir removes mental pollution.
Energy pills replenish the body's depleted external energy.
This hemostatic pill is used to treat internal bleeding.
The antidote pill can neutralize 80% of the poison from first- and second-tier exotic beasts and plants.
There are many other types of pills, but the prescriptions are not publicly available, and it is extremely expensive to purchase the right to use them.
Unless you join a faction and have that faction provide it, or you research and create it yourself.
What she's going to refine now is an energy pill, an upgraded version of a satiety pill. The materials used can be combined according to their medicinal properties, the level of the exotic plants, the refining techniques, and so on.
Energy pills can also be divided into 1 to 9 levels, which is a measure of the energy content of the pills.
For her first attempt at refining medicine, Gu Qing followed the prescription issued by the Pharmacist Association: "Gastrodia elata, Panax notoginseng, Ganoderma lucidum..."
After gathering the medicinal herbs, I summoned Little Cloud. As its proficiency increased, Little Cloud grew a little bigger, but since it hadn't leveled up, I didn't know if it could keep going.
As if sensing her will, the little cloud puffed out its cheeks to cheer itself up, and then crawled under the medicine cauldron.
Flames spewed from its mouth, covering the area beneath the medicine furnace. Gu Qing placed the medicinal herbs into the furnace one by one, following the order specified in the prescription.
Heating, melting, removing impurities, and fusing are all extremely mentally taxing processes. Her level is still too low, so doing these things is somewhat of a stretch for her.
However, with sheer willpower and the essence pills she had prepared in advance, she managed to persevere, though the success rate was rather low, with only three pills produced.
After deducting the original price of the medicinal herbs and adding the cost of the Essence Pills she consumed, it's easy to lose money.
After resting for a while, I quickly opened the proficiency panel.
I need to let the data comfort me, otherwise I'll feel unbalanced.
Name: Gu Qing (顾晴晴)
Age: 18 (120)
[Talent: Purify the Clouds]
[Talent: Fire Control 2%]
[Skill: Purify E-rank by 16%]
[Skill: Planting Tier 1 70%]
[Skill: Alchemy Tier 1, 2.6%]
Because I've been quite busy lately, my progress in various areas hasn't been great, but any growth is a good thing.
Especially with the alchemy skill, although failing will increase proficiency, the increase is minimal. Once successful, the increase in proficiency varies depending on the quality of the elixir and the success rate.
After eating a filling pill she had refined herself, Little Cloud recovered and went to the planting shed, where the autumn fruits were about to bear fruit.
The bok choy has grown quite a bit and will be ready to eat in a couple of days. The two medicinal herbs, Mu Lingxi and Xuanling Shen, have already reached maturity, but the latter is still far from ripe.
Medicinal herbs that have entered the mature stage should be treated like vacuum cleaners, requiring regular cleaning every day; otherwise, their quality will drop sharply, and in severe cases, they may mutate and die.
Gu Qing has been busy taking care of the things in the planting shed these past two days, since she can gain a lot of planting experience when these things are harvested.
In the afternoon, she refined another batch of energy pills. This time, she made progress and produced four pills, but the quality did not improve much.
Fortunately, if they can be sold, they can break even.
She saw Chen Xingheng as soon as she came out of the alchemy room. "When did you get back?"
Chen Xingheng, who was sitting on the sofa, quickly came over and hugged her when he saw her return. "I've been back for a while. When I came back, the butler said you had just entered the alchemy room four minutes ago."
I didn't want to disturb you. I had the housekeeper arrange the things I brought back, and I'm sitting here organizing some belongings and documents while I wait for you.
