Chapter 51 Dragon Blood Elixir

At dawn.

When Qingling woke up from her deep sleep, the first thing she saw was an empty sleeping bag.

"Hmm...?"

She was still somewhat dazed when she pulled herself out of the ground, walked out of the tent, and saw You Che sitting by the campfire.

Qingling immediately perked up, ran over quickly, and squatted down next to You Che.

"Hmm!"

You Che looked at her and gave her a gentle smile: "Good morning."

"……Good morning!"

Qingling smiled and leaned close to You Che.

"this?"

At this moment, a small pot was placed on the campfire, and You Che was holding a long-handled spoon, stirring and cooking something in the pot.

However, although the soup in the pot was dark green and looked very strange, as it boiled at high temperature and was stirred constantly, a fragrant aroma gradually wafted out, which made Qingling's eyes light up.

"this!"

You Che shook his head and said, "No, this is not food, it's an alchemy potion."

What he was simmering in the pot was the magic potion he had been longing for, made from dragon's blood flowers.

Thanks to the baron's selfless dedication, Youche managed to gather all the materials.

Meanwhile, the ancient book he had been reading whenever he had time recently finally reached the required level, allowing him to learn the basics of alchemy (incomplete).

So without delay, after dealing with the batch of dark races that spawned before dawn, You Che immediately set up a pot and began to refine magic potions.

At this point, the temperature of the medicinal liquid in the pot had reached its limit. Meanwhile, as You Che stirred it repeatedly, the dark green broth gradually began to change color, and finally, in the process of continuous evaporation, it turned into a thin layer of golden-red liquid at the bottom of the pot.

You Che put on gloves and carefully poured the medicinal liquid from the pot into the prepared glass bottle, filling it just enough.

You Che finally put the cap back on, took the potion up to his eyes, looked at it, and nodded in satisfaction.

Dragon Blood Elixir

Category: Consumables

[Quality: Excellent]

[Item Description: A magical potion refined and blended from the essence of dragon's blood flower, capable of unleashing terrifying power when the user is on the verge of death.]

Yes, the so-called Dragon Blood Flower Potion's effects are indeed that simple, unpretentious, and brutal.

When a player is low on health (below 20%), all attack power is increased by 25%. This bonus stacks with almost all types of buffs and is calculated last.

It's basically the same as the cat fire/human fire from the Monster Hunter series, or the red tears from the Souls series.

Therefore, there's no need to elaborate on the value and uses of this item.

Although its use comes with considerable risks, the benefits it provides are also extremely significant and almost irreplaceable.

At least within the current selection range of Youche, there is nothing stronger than it, not even one that can stage an accident.

You Che held the glass bottle filled with golden-red potion in front of his eyes and shook it gently. The bottle and the potion reflected the light of the rising sun, creating a faint, dazzling effect.

After confirming that the effect was correct and that there had been no failure in the refining process, You Che put the potion away.

This was the last bottle. He had used up ten intact dragon blood flowers and almost all the ingredients to make a total of six bottles of potion, which he carefully stored away.

The number of potions that can be successfully brewed in each batch is actually uncertain and also depends on luck.

During the refining process, Youche failed twice due to his lack of familiarity with the operation, losing about one and a half bottles of potions. However, there were also times when his luck kicked in and he managed to refine two bottles in one batch. In the end, he had exactly six bottles left.

"It should be enough for a while."

You Che packed up his alchemy tools, then looked at Qing Ling, who was waiting eagerly to the side, and said with a smile, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Let me prepare breakfast."

Breakfast was simply a matter of heating up some dry bread with the residual heat of the campfire, but Qingling ate it with great relish.

She is not picky about whether she eats meat, vegetables, or dry food; for her, these foods are all new experiences.

"She's easy to take care of." You Che smiled as he watched her nibble on her bread.

"Let's set off after we finish eating."

They had basically finished what they needed to do here, and now they were heading straight for the location of the cursed weapon.

Of course, there's still one last little loose end to take care of.

After breakfast, You Che led Qing Ling southeastward to the first town marked on the map along the route.

The condition of this town is much better than the previous one; at least there are no slums to be seen, and the townspeople's morale is also significantly higher.

You Che handed the exquisitely crafted concealment amulet, which was so delicate that one was worried it might be accidentally damaged, to Qing Ling, asking her to activate it to conceal her identity. Then he took her to the armor shop in town and bought her a light, elven-style coat.

After all, we'll be leaving the northern forest area soon, and we can't keep letting her wear that homemade "nature outfit" forever, as it will be difficult to repair if it gets damaged.

To be honest, after changing into this outfit, Qingling looks almost exactly like a typical elf.

You Che was fairly satisfied with the effect of the change of clothes, while Qing Ling also felt very novel in her new clothes, although she was still a little unaccustomed to moving around in them.

Yu Che led her, who was swaying and even skipping a bit, out of the armor shop and then turned towards the town's post station.

Here, he first rented a simple carriage from a coachman as his means of transportation, and then hired a messenger to give him a sealed package to deliver to Xiao Yang in the small town he had just visited.

The package contained, of course, the pile of criminal evidence he had taken from the town baron's house. If he sent it back now, it should arrive just in time for Xiao Yang and the circuit court personnel to arrive.

In addition to the evidence, You Che also put several bottles of exorcism potions he found in the Baron's secret chamber into the package.

This is the "miracle drug" that Xiao Yang was looking for. The effects of this potion are quite different from what its name suggests. It is mainly used to treat a disease called "Demon Man Syndrome".

Coincidentally, this was actually the potion that the carpenter mother and son had asked for back in Adela Town.

After handing these things over to the messenger, You Che felt that he had taken care of everything.

As for supplies, there's no need to replenish them, since we have plenty of them thanks to the support of the kind-hearted people represented by the three knights.

So, You Che took Qing Ling and boarded a simple carriage to head to their next destination.

The cursed weapon he wanted also had to be obtained in the labyrinth, but that labyrinth was also quite special, being the type that remained stationary in one place.

That location is in an ancient ruin near the middle of the Obsidian Line.

You Che knew that approaching the Obsidian defense line was risky, but the war in Yuwen City had not yet started. As long as everything went smoothly, he should be able to clear the maze and get away from the battlefield and the defense line.

As for what happens if there's no time... even if there's no time, you still have to go; that's the value of that weapon.

After going through all the details in his mind, You Che sat in the carriage seat and slowly closed his eyes.

Leaving aside what's too far in the future, the upcoming exploration of the maze will be a tough battle, and he needs to be prepared.

Qingling sat beside him and saw You Che begin to close his eyes to rest. She blinked and followed his example, slowly closing her eyes as well.

Soon after, she completely ignored the swaying of the car and drifted off to sleep.

"Huff huff..."
