"System notification: You have used 1 Earth Ginseng Grass".
"System notification: Your basic instant health recovery potion has been successfully crafted. You have obtained 1 basic instant health recovery potion and gained 5 points of alchemist proficiency."
"Damn, I finally succeeded." Wang Ming calculated that it was his sixth attempt before he succeeded, which was an outrageously low success rate.
Fortunately, the potion-making process takes very little time, only about 5 seconds.
Then Wang Ming looked at the potion that had just been successfully refined.
Basic Health Instant Recovery Potion
Grade: First Grade
Description: Immediately restores 200 health points upon use.
Cooldown time: 30 seconds
Note: Cannot be combined with other drugs of the same type.
"A 30-second cooldown is a bit long, haha, but I'll forgive you for your instant recovery."
After reviewing the attributes, Wang Ming continued refining the item.
As Wang Ming continued refining, the success rate actually improved. In the end, after using up all 88 plants of Earth Ginseng, Wang Ming refined 23 bottles of potion.
"23 bottles of medicine should be enough for now."
Seeing that the Earth Ginseng Grass had not yet respawned, Wang Ming did not linger. After entering the coordinates for exploring the other dimension into the map, he moved towards the coordinates while killing monsters along the territory of the level 7 monster, the Dead Tree Man.
More than two hours later, Wang Ming finally arrived at his destination.
Before Wang Ming were several withered tree figures.
These withered tree spirits looked no different from the ones Wang Ming had killed, but they were surrounded by wisps of black energy.
The area where they were located was also shrouded in black mist, which gave off a chilling feeling.
Wang Ming then used his Insight Technique to examine the withered tree spirit in front of him.

"Holy crap, the stats of this corrupted dead tree are almost on par with the previous mutated ones. And this corrupted mutated monster is even more terrifying. Apart from its health, its other stats are even stronger than the level 6 giant man-eating flower boss. What's going on?"
"Demonic transformation? Could this black mist be demonic energy?"
Wang Ming originally intended to kill these monsters, but seeing the eerie black mist, he didn't act rashly. Instead, he took out the recorder that the old village chief had given him and recorded the situation.
"System notification: Congratulations on completing the D-level mission - Exploring Another Dimension. You can return to the village chief in the starting village to submit the mission."
Seeing that the mission was complete, Wang Ming immediately took out a return scroll and returned to the starting village.
"Grandpa Village Chief, I have completed the task you entrusted to me."
"Oh, young hero, you really are! Quickly, young hero, hand over the recorder to this old man." Hearing that Wang Ming had completed the mission, the old village chief urged Wang Ming on.
Wang Ming then took out the recorder and handed it to the old village chief.
The old village chief took the recorder, watched it carefully, his brows furrowed, and his expression changed drastically.
"This, this is a secret realm!"
"Secret Realm, Grandpa Village Chief, what is a secret realm?"
"Legend has it that there are many spatial nodes in our Yuan Domain, and these spatial nodes are connected to another world, which is called the Demon Realm."
"The secret realm I just mentioned is these spatial nodes. Because these secret realms are connected to the Demon Realm, they are more or less tainted by demonic energy."
"When the demonic energy reaches a certain concentration, it will seep out from the secret realm, pollute our primordial domain, demonize the monsters outside, and enhance their abilities."
"The demonic energy within the secret realm also records the information of these monsters, allowing you to use the demonic energy to create identical replicas, making them inexhaustible."
"Legend has it that outside the main city, there are some high-level secret realms, which are very hidden and contain even more terrifying monsters."
“Secret realm, spatial node, demonic domain.” Listening to the village chief’s words, Wang Ming knew that his guess was correct; the black mist was indeed demonic energy.
"Young hero, the demonic energy in this secret realm has been escaping for who knows how long, and it has corrupted countless monsters. We must purify the demonic energy within, otherwise, if we allow it to continue, our village will eventually be destroyed."
"I wonder if young hero would be willing to purify this secret realm?"
"System notification: Your D-level mission - Exploring Another Dimension - has unlocked a follow-up mission. Do you wish to accept it?"
Upon hearing the system notification, Wang Ming realized that the village chief's long explanation was actually a task to be assigned.
"I'm willing."
"Alright, on behalf of the entire village, I thank you in advance, young hero."
"System notification: You have accepted the A-level mission to clean up the secret realm."
Clear the Secret Realm (Rank A)
Introduction: There is a secret realm outside the starting village that has been corrupted by demonic energy. This secret realm is spreading and seriously threatens the safety of the starting village. Players are requested to kill the monsters outside the secret realm, open the portal to enter the secret realm, and purify the demonic energy.
Requirement: Kill all monsters within the secret realm.
"Young hero, the monsters in this secret realm are very powerful. Please be careful."
"Don't worry, village chief, I know what I'm doing and I won't go there rashly." Even without the village chief's reminder, Wang Ming knew that the monsters in the secret realm would be difficult to deal with.
The corrupted withered tree spirit has much higher stats than the uncorrupted one. If they encounter a boss, even with Wang Ming's current high stats, he will still face a tough battle.
"We need to make some preparations first."
Wang Ming went to the pharmacy and bought some basic attribute potions and basic beginner health recovery potions.
Looking at the mere 30-odd darts in his backpack, Wang Ming opened his friends list.
At that moment, Shengcai Youdao was online, and Wang Ming immediately sent him a message.
"You've got a knack for making money. Did you manage to get your hands on the darts?"
"Got it, got it! I was just about to contact you when you contacted me. We're really on the same wavelength."
Damn it, who's thinking the same thing as you? Wang Ming looked at the message from Shengcaiyoudao and was speechless. "Okay, then you go set up your stall in the square. I'll be right there."
"Okay, bro."
After closing the message, Wang Ming arrived at the square where the stalls were set up.
"Brother, over here." As soon as Wang Ming arrived, Sheng Caiyoudao waved to him.
"How many darts did you throw this time?" Wang Ming asked as he walked over to Shengcaiyoudao.
"Hehe, 500 pieces."
Wang Ming's eyes lit up when he heard there were so many darts.
"Okay, you can set up your stall, I'll take them all."
"Okay."
Before long, Wang Ming had more than 500 darts in his backpack.
Although these darts are special items, they are still consumables, just like potions. 100 of them take up one slot, and with Wang Ming's current backpack space, they can fit in completely.
"Okay, remember to message me next time."
"Okay, bro, take care!" Shengcai Youdao called out enthusiastically from behind as Wang Ming left.
