Chapter 210 Molten Potion
'Control the Parish? Why do I think of Nick's experience in Zak Town?'
Crown did not find it easy and comfortable to be in charge of the parish. They were already living a tight life in Zach Town.
Take Flanders as an example. He not only has to integrate opinions within the city of Rhine, but also has to deal with various external forces. There are too many things that require him to make the final decision.
Many things seem simple, but are actually much more troublesome to implement.
Before crossing over, he was just an ordinary programmer, and after crossing over, he was also an ordinary person. Being the head of a region was obviously not suitable for him, at least for now.
If this were a society like Earth without magical powers, and he had the chance to control a parish, he would give it a try no matter what. However, this world had supernatural elements, and great power belonged entirely to individuals. Being the leader of a small region meant little.
What's more, the world is not peaceful and there is danger from evil gods. The most important thing is to use the extra time to gain experience.
Now he just needs to retain his status as a high-ranking official in the church, have someone to rely on, and be a bishop with a relatively leisurely life.
Only when your own strength is strong enough can you survive in this increasingly dangerous world.
Clown's current idea is to try not to distract himself while his strength can still be rapidly improved. He shook his head and smiled:
"I don't think I have the ability to control a parish. I want to focus more on how to improve my own strength faster."
"Don't rush to refuse. We must expand outward again. Whether you are willing or not, you will be the core leader who controls the diocese in the future."
Flanders waved his hand and said earnestly:
"It is meaningless to keep the crystal core you harvested. Such a crystal core can only play its due role as the energy core of a large magic array.
If you sell it, all you get is a batch of resources, a batch of resources that can be purchased with spirit coins.
Use it to build a new sanctuary, and you can obtain a number of properties that belong to you alone."
The Archbishop lowered his voice and repeated the future policy of the Church.
The planning of the Rhine Parish is centered on the current urban area, extending in all directions to establish a number of small and medium-sized shelters.
Not only the church, but also the city hall and the brotherhood will expand outward to establish sanctuaries dominated by their own forces and reopen places for survival.
Flanders paused for a moment, giving Crown some time to digest the information, and continued:
"You have a high-quality core energy crystal, so you can naturally obtain jurisdiction over the new diocese. If you don't want to deal with tedious church affairs, you can find an agent.
After the establishment of the sanctuary, apart from the profits paid to the church, the remaining profits belong to the core management of each parish.
It’s better to let our own people take more of these benefits.”
Crown already understood what the archbishop meant. These benefits could be given to others, but of course they had to be taken by his own people.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Then what direct benefit can I get if I donate the crystal core to the church?"
A bird in the hand is worth a hundred in the bush. The archbishop was talking about what will happen after the establishment of the sanctuary. To put it bluntly, it is called empty talk.
When I got my first job after graduating from school in my previous life, the boss was very good at making promises. The young me actually believed them and thought that if I worked hard under the boss, I could achieve financial freedom.
But it was of no use. The company was bankrupt and they didn’t even keep their promise to pay social security. They also owed him two months’ salary, which he had to go through labor arbitration to get back.
Flanders thought for a moment and said, "I will help you fight for three points at the meeting.
First, you will directly obtain a sum of spirit coins or other resources. If converted into gold spirit coins, it is about 2,500 gold spirit coins.
Now that the concentration of spirituality is increasing, more and more second-level extraordinary people will advance to the third level. I suggest you buy mithril from the secret vault and hoard it. In the future, the premium of this kind of core material for advancing to the silver level will become higher and higher; secondly, after the formation of the sanctuary is laid, the population will definitely migrate. We will designate a piece of land within the formation area, which is completely at your disposal. It is half the size of the Rose Street block.
You will definitely start a family in the future, and this kind of real estate is very suitable as a family foundation.
Third, if you own property within the jurisdiction, the church will not collect any taxes for ten years.”
. . . .
Evening, 36 Baker Street.
The lights in the basement were bright. Ten days had passed since the full moon night. With his continuous accumulation, Clown finally refined enough moonlight to condense the Taiyin Thunder Seal.
The cold jade donated by Melissa was dissected into five jade talismans, three of which were not of good quality, so only two were usable. The scraps were made into a white jade bowl the size of a ping-pong ball.
One of the two pieces of cold jade is of superior quality without any impurities, and can be made into a thunder seal that can be preserved for a long time and reused many times.
For fear of wasting moonlight by failing in drawing talismans, he drew a large number of golden light talismans and clear mind talismans these days, and raised his talisman drawing skill to the third level.
[Drawing Talismans: 257/10000; Level 3] (With dragon and tiger ideas in mind, writing can shock ghosts and gods. Special effect: Talisman Heart. Doubles concentration, increases the success rate of drawing talismans, and improves the effect of talismans by 5%). Not only that, he used clear water to practice copying the brushwork of Taiyin Leizhuan. When he was very proficient and no longer made mistakes, he used moon dew and talisman paper to practice drawing Taiyin Leizhuan.
The low-end version of Thunder Seal obtained not only has elemental damage similar to ice element, but also exhibits the characteristics of soul attack.
He had personally conducted experiments in the wild. After a second-level mutant monster was attacked several times, the elemental damage on its body was not enough to be fatal, but its soul was frozen and it died peacefully.
Now, it is time to draw the real Taiyin Thunder Seal. For this purpose, he specially used the hair at the tip of the snow fox's tail to make a high-level talisman pen. Using this talisman pen to draw the Qingxin Talisman and the Taiyin Thunder Seal is more rounded and handy.
Even though the talisman ink is moon dew, ordinary talisman paper still cannot withstand the power of the thunder seal.
After two to three days, the talisman paper will no longer be able to lock the talisman's spiritual power, and the thunder seal will dissipate quickly.
Crown placed the cold jade on the experimental table, closed his eyes, and slowly adjusted his breathing. He was a little nervous.
The refining of the sun's essence and the moon's essence is very time-consuming. If he fails, it will waste a lot of his time. Also, he no longer has any cold jade in his hands.
After two deep breaths, his mental state relaxed a little, feeling a bit tense yet relaxed.
He then released the Heart Purification Mantra to maximize his status.
His fingertips touched the white jade bowl, and drops of silver dew flowed along the inner wall of the bowl.
Mist immediately rose from the bowl, and at that moment he felt as if he was standing in an open refrigerator in the middle of summer, with the coolness blowing in his face.
Not daring to delay, he took out the talisman pen and the inferior jade talisman.
Dipping the tip of the pen into the moonlight, he immediately started writing on the jade talisman.
At first, the moonlight floated on the surface of the jade talisman like mercury, but when he completed the last stroke, all the moonlight on the talisman pen fell onto the jade.
The talisman patterns on the jade talisman seemed to have turned into a searchlight, radiating silver light outwards.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Then, the talisman floating on the surface of the jade talisman slowly sank into the jade talisman, and the silver light in the room disappeared, returning to its normal brightness.
Clown saw that the talisman seemed to grow naturally inside the jade talisman, and the moonlight inside seemed to be still flowing slowly.
He reached out and picked up the jade talisman, and suddenly felt a chill.
The success of drawing the Taiyin Thunder Seal for the first time gave Clown more confidence. He struck while the iron was hot and started drawing again.
His hands were as steady as a machine, without the slightest tremor, and he successfully drew another Taiyin Thunder Seal. The moonlight was used up exactly, not a cent more or less.
Hehe, I am no longer the clumsy newbie who has just started practicing drawing talismans.
When skill can be quantified by proficiency, his growth is no longer limited by talent.
As long as he can get started with the skill, he can master it to the highest level.
With a smug smile, Crown carefully put away the two Taiyin Thunder Seals and kept them close to his body.
He felt relieved when he felt a slight coolness coming from his chest.
People raise jade, and jade raises people. This saying also applies to talismans that use jade as a carrier.
I already have the Taiyin Thunder Seal, but I don’t know when I will be able to learn the Taiyang Thunder Seal.
He sat down on the chair and rested for a while, with infinite longing in his heart.
Five minutes later, his consciousness returned.
After tidying up the lab bench, Crown began to write down the formula of the Molten Fire Potion from memory. He then used his solid knowledge of herbal medicine to figure out the difficulties in the formula process and make a response plan.
Only by being prepared can you avoid danger. You cannot rely on improvisation for everything.
The Golden Light Mantra is his fundamental skill, which can strengthen the body and mind in all aspects, but the fastest way to increase his extraordinary level is to practice breathing techniques.
The breathing method can also improve the immediate combat effectiveness faster, so it needs the assistance of refining potions. He wants to see what the so-called silver soul is like as soon as possible.
Since the day before yesterday, refining firepower potions could no longer increase his proficiency. Now it was time to refine third-level potions.
After rehearsing all the processes in his mind twice, Crown quickly processed the various auxiliary herbs, drying those that needed to be dried and extracting those that needed to be extracted.
This was a piece of cake for a fourth-level herbalist. Even though he was dealing with several kinds of herbs for the first time, he handled them perfectly with smooth and prepared movements like a veteran.
Finally, he took out the flame mushroom and extracted the herbal essence.
This is the main ingredient of the Molten Potion, and its medicinal properties are explosive. He speculated that most of the difficulty in refining the Molten Potion lies in more perfectly integrating the other potions into the Flame Mushroom Essence.
After everything was ready, Crown officially began to refine. "Bang!"
The solution in the retort flask boiled and exploded, and the first refining attempt failed.
Summarizing his experience, he speculated that too little Ice Spirit Flower juice was added to neutralize the medicinal properties.
As the spiritual concentration in the world continues to increase, herbal ratios must be fine-tuned based on the herbalist's personal abilities and cannot be strictly followed.
The second time failed, the third time succeeded.
The medicine rolled in the revolving bottle like magma under the ground, and a burning sensation penetrated into the nose.
He tried again and again, failed the fourth time, and succeeded the fifth time.
I worked overtime at the company tonight... There is still one chapter left, so I think I will have to update it before 12 o'clock.
