The woman in front of him was kneeling on the ground, holding a bottle of medicine in her hands.

"Sabina, what is this?"

"My Lord, this is a poison I developed based on the materials you gave me. Please take a look."

After hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes lit up.

"You figured it out so quickly? As expected of someone who has mastered advanced poison techniques!"

"Sabina, you are great."

Hearing Cao Xing's praise, the woman kneeling below buried her head even lower.

He also put the bottle of medicine away directly.

[Obtained: Medicine developed by Sabina (unnamed)]

[Potion effect: Apply to melee weapons or arrows to make the next 10 attacks have a layer of psychedelic toxin effect, reducing the enemy's attack power by 302 within 30 seconds, and causing them to enter a psychedelic state, receiving a mental shock every 5 seconds...]

[Number of uses remaining: 10]

…

"Hey guys, the effect of the psychedelic toxin reduces attack power?"

A look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

After all, the mental shock that occurs every 5 seconds is still very strong.

For those survivors, it is a god-level secret medicine!

You know, even a level 15 elite monster only has an attack power of 300 to 400.

The most important thing is that this thing seems to be able to cooperate with the poison effect of [Nightmare Arrow] and stack each other.

One reduces armor, one reduces attack power, and has a continuous health loss effect.

Cao Xing was full of praise, and then asked, "Sabina, this medicine hasn't been named yet?"

Sabina nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, dear Lord, please name this medicine."

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then said, "Let's call it [Sabina's Nightmare Potion]"

Nightmares mean that anyone who is poisoned by this magic drug will see their own nightmares.

The name Sabina added in front represents the inventor of this medicine.

Just like [Liya Medina's Transformation Potion].

Before developing a new secret medicine, the alchemists in this world will add their own names to it in order to quickly gain fame.

After hearing this, Sabina hesitated and said, "My dear Lord, why don't we just call it Nightmare Potion... My name is not worthy of being added to it..."

However, Cao Xing, who heard this, said, "Why not? Didn't you develop this magic medicine?"

"yes……"

"That's right."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Be more confident, Sabina, you have very advanced poison skills."

"Although I only ask you to work in my territory for three months, this period of time is enough for your name to spread throughout the continent."

"Soon, they will all know that there is an alchemist with advanced poison skills in my territory."

Hear what Cao Xing said.

Sabina couldn't help but feel a warm feeling rising in her heart, and her eyes became moist.

Through her understanding during this period of time, she clearly felt the development prospects of this territory, and the future is almost limitless!

Moreover, this lord subverted traditional concepts and allowed ordinary people to have power.

If she didn't have something necessary to do, Sabina would actually like to stay in this territory for the rest of her life.

All the emotions in my heart turned into one sentence at this moment.

"Thank you, great lord!"

[The potion has been named successfully and has been changed to: Sabina's Nightmare Potion]

[Your words and actions have impressed the territory member: Sabina. Her loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 86]

…

The two consecutive system prompts made Cao Xing's mouth curl up.

At this time, Sabina also adjusted her mood.

She still knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "My dear Lord, medicines like this are also divided into green, blue, and purple qualities according to the grade of the materials and the strength of the toxins contained in them."

"This is a green-quality drug that I have developed through preliminary research."

"You gave me more advanced materials last time. I can use these materials to develop a more potent poison."

Hearing this, Cao Xing exclaimed in praise again.

Sabina is indeed a rare talent.

He continued, "How many bottles of this medicine can you make in a day?"

Sabina thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, if I work hard for 14 hours a day, I can probably make between 120 and 150 bottles."

Hearing this number, Cao Xing did some calculations.

Based on more than one hundred bottles a day, Sabina would generate a lot of income for him every day.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, Sabina, this batch of medicine will be of great help to the territory."

"Now, go get busy."

"As you command, Lord!"

Sabina stood up from the ground and respectfully took her leave.

After she left, Cao Xing began to think about something.

Sabina is beginning to show her worth.

Cao Xing had previously promised this woman that he would help her improve to the fourth level of strength.

This is a relatively simple matter though.

But Sabina's fourth-level strength is useless, after all, she is just an ordinary person and has no fighting skills.

Therefore, she still needs to be reassigned to a new position, at least to give her a certain level of combat effectiveness.

Currently, there are three training camps in his territory, which can train these ordinary people into professionals.

They are Frost Archer, Ascalon Warrior, and Shadow Killer.

However, in order to train these civilians, relevant training books are needed.

But Cao Xing didn't have it in his hand.

But this is not a big deal, Cao Xing believes that he can get it soon.

"That's great. I'm going to make a deal soon."

"See if you can get a few training books."

Cao Xing is not worried about this.

After all, the drop rate of training books is still very high. Last time, one dropped from each of those elite goblins.

Among the more than 200,000 people in the 17th district, there will always be some lucky ones who will get the corresponding training books.

Just when Cao Xing was about to go to the [Blacksmith Shop].

A blue figure walked towards us.

Cao Xing looked over and found that it was the person he had kidnapped back from the castle yesterday.

The witch - Francesca.

She changed into a blue dress today, but it still couldn't hide her proud figure and beautiful posture.

If yesterday's red dress was cool and unapproachable.

Then today's blue dress will highlight her incomparable beauty and elegance.

Francesca came to Cao Xing and whispered, "My Lord, as I said before, I will take on the task of refining medicine for the territory."

"Please tell me what to do today."

Cao Xing nodded, then took out a recipe from his backpack and handed it to her.

"Take a look at this recipe first."

After listening to this, Francesca took the formula from Cao Xing, with a thoughtful look in her dark green eyes.

The more she looked, the more her pretty brows furrowed.

Then there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"This formula... is actually an improved version of the formula!"

"So that's how it is... Can the medicinal properties of a medium-sized life secret be greatly enhanced by adding a plant like the Spirit Breathing Grass and using other alchemy techniques?"

"It's amazing. The person who was able to improve this formula must be as skilled in making medicine as I am!"

Cao Xing smiled.

As expected, Francesca is a master at alchemy, and she is well aware of the value of this secret medicine formula.

Because this is a rare recipe that Cao Xing opened from an ancient treasure chest.

According to the system, that civilization has already been destroyed.

Cao Xing continued to ask: "If you have enough materials, how many bottles of medicine with this formula can you make in a day?"

The beautiful witch in front of him thought for a moment, then replied, "About 700 to 800 bottles."

Hearing this number, Cao Xing was shocked.

Wow, you guys can make so many!

This is seven or eight times more efficient than Sabina!

According to Cao Xing's estimation, a bottle of [Improved Life Secret Medicine] is worth at least six or seven hundred Ice Dragon Marks.

He could collect four or five hundred thousand Ice Dragon Marks in one day.

Cao Xing exclaimed: "Francesca, you are a strong and knowledgeable woman."

Hearing the compliment, the witch smiled and said, "I'm glad to help you too."

Cao Xing also nodded, "Then, go and start refining the medicine."

"I have already placed your witch's cauldron in the alchemy workshop."

"Yes, Lord."

After saying this, the beautiful witch turned around, and the hem of her skirt spun in an arc, like a blooming blue flower.

She walked slowly towards the pharmacy.

"Very good. It seems that this commander-level witch is still very obedient and loyal."

Cao Xing knew that this was also related to the fact that he saved the witch.

Then, his gaze turned to another commander-level figure in the territory—Victoria.

She was still dressed as a farmer's wife, and followed Dahua in taking care of the vegetables in the vegetable shed.

Victoria's loyalty has improved recently, but it is still less than 60.

So for now, she is still unwilling to reveal her true feelings to Cao Xing.

But it doesn't matter, at least she doesn't want to run away again.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Once the loyalty of this Mind Queen is raised, including Sarah, there will be three commanders in my territory."

"Each commander is a powerful force. With Victoria's skills, the territory's strength will be further enhanced."

Cao Xing thought happily.

"Now, we have to go see what's going on with Harold."

"I don't know how many arrows he has made in the past two days."

With anticipation, Cao Xing went straight into the Blacksmith Shop.

As soon as I entered, I heard the sound of iron hammering.

Harold was working attentively, and on the workbench, he was making the [Nightmare Arrow] that Cao Xing urgently needed.

Harold was so focused that he didn't even notice Cao Xing's arrival.

It was not until Cao Xing called him that the dwarf showed an expression of surprise on his face.

"My Lord, when did you come?"

"I just got here."

Harold rubbed his head and said, "I'm sorry, Lord, I didn't notice you coming in."

"It's OK."

Cao Xing shook his head and continued to ask, "Harold, how has your work been these past two days?"

The dwarf put down the hammer in his hand and said respectfully: "Lord, according to your instructions, I have been working hard to make the nightmare iron arrow these days."

"Currently, 3,742 excellent quality nightmare iron arrows have been forged, 574 excellent quality arrows have been forged, and 168 rare quality arrows have been forged."

Hearing this number, Cao Xing was shocked.

Only two or three days had passed, and he had managed to create so many arrows.

In other words, he made at least a thousand arrows every day, and the effort behind this is almost self-evident.

"Harold, you are such a dedicated blacksmith."

"This batch of arrows will be of great help to our territory!"

Cao Xing admired sincerely.

Harold was delighted after hearing this and said, "I am also very happy to be able to help the Lord and our territory!"

"But Lord, all my energy is now focused on making arrows, so I haven't had time to make the two golden materials you gave me before."

"Also, the large-scale hunting nets that were discussed previously are currently on hold."

Cao Xing felt a little regretful after hearing this.

Whether it's golden equipment or a hunting net.

They are all important to him.

But there was no other way. There was only one blacksmith in the entire territory, and Harold now spent almost all his time on ironwork.

Moreover, what is more important at the moment are naturally those nightmare arrows.

This thing can make him a lot of profit.

The sooner you act, the higher the profit.

So, Cao Xing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Harold."

"Just focus on making arrows first, and we can worry about other things later."

"As you command, Lord!"

Harold replied respectfully.

Then, Cao Xing walked over and collected all the arrows that had been made in the storage box.

[Obtain: Finely Crafted Nightmare Arrow (Green) * 3742]

[Obtain: Finely crafted nightmare arrow (blue) * 574]

[Obtained: Finely Crafted Nightmare Arrow (Purple) *168)]

…

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Then he took out an arrow.

Just as planned, this arrow is made of iron and weighs one or two pounds.

It is about 60 cm long, with a sharp and hard black spike on the top, which can be used as a short spear at critical moments.

Take a look at the properties of these arrows.

[Finely Forged Nightmare Arrow (Green)]

【Quality: Excellent】

【Attack power: 73~78】

[Attached special effect: Primary nightmare poison (after hitting the enemy, it will cause the primary nightmare poison effect to the enemy, reducing armor by 30 points and losing 154 health points per second, lasting for 30 seconds)]

[Number of Nightmare Poison remaining: 3]

…

[Finely Crafted Nightmare Arrow (Blue)]

【Quality: Excellent】

[Attack power: 107~115]

[Attached special effect: Intermediate nightmare poison (after hitting the enemy, the enemy's armor is reduced by 50 points, and 202 health points are lost per second, lasting for 30 seconds)]

[Number of Nightmare Poison remaining: 5]

…

[Finely Crafted Nightmare Arrow (Purple)]

【Quality: Excellent】

[Attack power: 134~148]

[Attached special effect: Advanced Nightmare Poison (after hitting the enemy, the enemy's armor is reduced by 80 points, and the health value is 288 points per second, lasting for 30 seconds)]

[Number of Nightmare Poison remaining: 5]

…

Although he had seen it once before, Cao Xing still couldn't help but sigh!

He encouraged the dwarf who was forging iron, and then left the Blacksmith Shop.

Soon, Cao Xing arrived at the [market] outside the territory.

Then he couldn't wait to open the consignment interface and started selling the first batch of nightmare arrows.

[Consignment Item: Finely Crafted Nightmare Arrow (Green)]

【Stock Reserve: Large Amount】

[Required items: Ice Dragon Mark*300, Shadow Killer Training Book, and various drawings...]

【Consignor: Cao Xing】

[Seller's note: This is an extremely powerful arrow. Please check its properties yourself. Do not trade with anyone from Wangjiang Pavilion.]

…

The reason why Cao Xing set the price at 300 Ice Dragon Marks was after careful consideration.

The number of Ice Dragon Marks in the hands of the ordinary survivors now only adds up to about six or seven hundred.

And 300 Ice Dragon Marks can just make a territory pay for half of its resources.

In addition, this thing only has 3 uses, which is equivalent to a consumable item and cannot be used indefinitely.

It can only be used to save lives at critical moments.

Moreover, the price set by Cao Xing was actually outrageous.

After all, ordinary arrows, even if they were bundled and sold in packages of a hundred, would not fetch more than a few dozen Ice Dragon Marks.

And Cao Xing, because of his powerful strength that far exceeds that of the current survivors.

So I went to such a high-level map in advance and obtained materials with extremely powerful properties.

The name Cao Xing has become a symbol.

As soon as this name appears on the market, it will almost immediately attract a lot of attention.

Sure enough, within a few seconds, someone noticed the information on the trading channel.

Chai Hua: "Brothers! Don't say I didn't remind you, hurry to the trading market, or you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Hua Huayun: "Brother upstairs, what's going on? Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Yeah, what's going on?"

Some survivors were confused.

However, some survivors, after hearing the reminder, tentatively opened the consignment channel.

Then he immediately exclaimed, "Fuck! It's Boss Cao Xing who made the move!"

"Brothers, hurry up and go to the trading channel. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Hearing the name Cao Xing, everyone was shocked.

Then they rushed to the territory's [market] almost immediately.

The next moment, the entire chat channel was filled with exclamations!

"What the hell! What the hell! What is Boss Cao Xing selling this time?"

"Oh my god, how can there be such horrible arrows, and so many of them?"

"What is a nightmare arrow? How can it have such a powerful attribute?!"

The crowd's exclamations attracted the attention of more survivors.

The curiosity of those survivors who were exploring outside was also aroused.

"What kind of arrow is that, brothers?"

"This thing isn't a weapon. Is it really as powerful as you say?"

"Yes, yes, is there any brother who can post the attributes?"

And when a survivor attached the attribute of [Nightmare Arrow] to it, there was an immediate gasp of surprise.

"hiss!!!"

"How horrible! The life loss effect of this arrow is simply a bug!"

"Indeed, losing more than a hundred health points per second is too outrageous! Just shoot one arrow, and then just stall for time to kill a second-level boss. Two arrows can kill a second-level boss!"

After listening to this person's analysis, everyone understood more clearly how powerful this arrow was.

"Damn, the damage of this arrow is really outrageous!"

"Brothers, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and grab them! If you're a step late, they'll all be gone!"

Almost everyone who saw the news rushed to the market immediately.

Afraid of being one step behind others.

This is a means of saving lives at critical moments!

However, when they wanted to find Cao Xing for a deal with him with their last glimmer of hope.

But he rejected it outright.

The survivors of Wangjiang Pavilion suddenly became mentally devastated.

At this moment, in the territory of Wangjiang Pavilion Corps, Jiang Qingyun listened to the report from his men with a gloomy face.

He also knew what was happening in the chat channel.

The old man next to him asked with a worried look in his eyes: "Mr. Jiang, what should we do now?"

"Both the Boss-level Icebrood and the Boss-level Icebrood are equally threatening to us."

"It was precisely because of the appearance of Icebrood beasts of this level that we suffered heavy casualties in the previous battles."

"If we have arrows like this, we can use the Ice Dragon Horn later to significantly reduce casualties..."

Jiang Qingyun naturally knew the importance of this kind of arrow.

No matter which legion it is, if they have enough [Nightmare Arrows], they can quickly organize enough personnel to challenge the Ice Dragon Horn.

"I haven't been targeting this guy recently, but he still refuses to trade with us. This is really too much!"

Obviously, Jiang Qingyun didn't realize that it was his own problem.

After all, they started targeting Cao Xing when they first joined the area.

If Cao Xing had not displayed such powerful strength, Wangjiang Pavilion would definitely not have let him go.

Perhaps by now, his end is even more miserable!

And Cao Xing knew this very well.

He is now a mortal enemy of the Three Heroes Society.

So he would have no mercy at all for these guys.

Not only that, if the time permits, he will go over and flatten the territory of Wangjiang Pavilion without hesitation.

Then grab all their polar people.

It just so happened that his territory was in urgent need of a large number of staff.

Jiang Qingyun could be said to be extremely depressed at this moment.

However, Cao Xing naturally didn't know about their discussion.

Cao Xing's entire attention is now focused on the transaction at hand.
