Chapter 30

"Everyone, come and look! This quack not only poisoned me to death just now, but now he’s trying to silence me by giving me an even more potent poison. In less than 10 seconds, he took away my precious life. How could anyone be so heartless! How could a person be so evil!" Li Huailin stood at the door of Old Ed, wailing in agony.

"Boy, boy, let’s talk this out, let’s talk this out." Old Ed quickly dragged Li Huailin back inside.

"What’s there to talk about? Poisoning me once wasn’t enough, now you’ve poisoned me twice. You even say you don’t want to see someone who can be cured die in front of you. Bullshit, you’re a serial killer." Li Huailin was actually overjoyed inside. Dying twice like this, he had earned so much experience for free, but he still had his eye on Old Ed’s potions.

"This... this..." Old Ed didn’t know what was going on; he felt wronged. "How about we try again?"

"Do you want to poison me to death and silence me again?" Li Huailin glared and said.

"These are not poisons!" Old Ed shouted, trying to increase his credibility, "It’s probably... probably because I haven’t practiced alchemy for too long, so there was a small accident."

"You haven’t practiced alchemy for a long time, so you use me as a test subject, and it’s a potion that kills me instantly. How could you be so heartless?" Li Huailin said with a righteous face, "Tell me, how do you plan to compensate me? I’ll give you a chance. Give me a few hundred bottles of this potion, and I’ll let it go."

"A... a few hundred bottles!" Old Ed almost spat blood, "I really don’t have that many materials. Where could I get them? How about I give you a quest to collect the materials? When you bring them back, I’ll refine them for you and give you a substantial amount of experience, enough to make up for the experience you lost, and even more."

Li Huailin wouldn’t choose this option. Not only would collecting materials be troublesome, but he would also lose a lot of experience for completing the quest. He was no fool; to gain experience by drinking potions, but to give experience to get the potions, would be a waste of time.

"I won’t do the quest. If you don’t give me the potion, then silence me now. I’ll come to you every day, and you can silence me a dozen times a day if you want." Li Huailin said very seriously. If the other party was willing to kill him, that would be best, saving him the trouble of drinking the potion.

"How could I do such a thing!" Old Ed was sweating, thinking that if he didn’t satisfy this guy, he would come to him a dozen times a day. Everyone knew that these players could respawn, "Right, right, the materials I have can make about a dozen bottles of potion. How about I just give them to you without giving you a quest?"

"Only a dozen bottles?" Li Huailin frowned; it would only be enough to level up once, which was unsatisfactory.

"I’ll give you the potion formula. You can learn alchemy and make it yourself." Old Ed saw Li Huailin frown and immediately said.

"I won’t learn alchemy; I have no interest in it." Li Huailin waved his hand. Learning a secondary profession was a tragedy, constantly losing skill points, and staying at the apprentice level forever.

"You can give the formula to a friend who knows alchemy. Then they can make the potion for you." Old Ed immediately said.

"Hmm?" Li Huailin was first stunned, then suddenly realized that this guy was right. Even if he got a few hundred bottles now, they would run out eventually. It would be better to find someone who could make the potion for him in the long run.

But he didn’t seem to know any friends who knew alchemy. Li Huailin thought about the few people he knew. The Spirit Realm Guild? No, they were a big guild, and the formula would be used to support the main teams first, not him.

Those women? Li Huailin’s eyes suddenly lit up. Their guild must have alchemists, and the guild wasn’t big. There weren’t even five people at the main level of 15. Even if they needed the potion for raids, they wouldn’t need much, and the rest would be his.

Thinking about this, Li Huailin nodded and turned to Old Ed, "Hmm, you have a point. I’ll reluctantly accept it."

"Reluctantly..." Old Ed almost lost his temper. His life’s work in alchemy was being reluctantly accepted. This guy was really trying to kill him.

After barely calming down his anger, Old Ed started his alchemy work. Of course, he was a master alchemist with the ability to batch-produce potions, making up to 10 bottles at a time. He completed all the potion configurations in just two batches.

"Here, take them." Old Ed said with a pained expression; these materials were hard to come by.

Li Huailin took a look. There were 14 bottles of Advanced Life Spring Potion and 3 bottles of Super Life Spring Potion. Along with them were 3 formulas.

Formula: Life Spring Potion: Restores 2% of health per second for 40 seconds. The healing effect is interrupted by attacks. Learning: Requires Intermediate Alchemy. (Materials required will be shown after learning)

Formula: Advanced Life Spring Potion: Restores 5% of health per second for 25 seconds. The healing effect is interrupted by attacks. Learning: Requires Advanced Alchemy.

Formula: Super Life Spring Potion: Restores 10% of health per second for 12 seconds. The healing effect is interrupted by attacks. Learning: Requires Master Alchemy.

"These potions are really perfect for me, much more reliable than just chugging health potions." Li Huailin thought as he looked at the potion attributes.

"Take them and go, or I’ll be heartbroken." Old Ed couldn’t help but start to shoo Li Huailin away.

"Hey, old man, if it weren’t for the fact that you sent me to heaven twice today and I’m in a good mood, I would have slapped you to death long ago." Li Huailin smiled, "Alright, alright, it looks like you don’t have anything else for me to loot. I don’t have time to chat with you either. You take it easy, I’m leaving."

"Go, go." Old Ed’s beard twitched, and he immediately pushed Li Huailin out the door.

"What a bad day..." Seeing Li Huailin leave, Old Ed scratched his head, "What did I do wrong with my life potions? Strange, I need to study this further." With that, Old Ed went back into his room to study alchemy.

"I need to contact those women." Li Huailin, after leaving, wanted to settle the potion issue. He couldn’t do alchemy, so he would give the potions to those women and agree to have them provide him with a certain amount of potions each month. This would give him some security for the future.

Just as he was about to use the long-distance communication function to find the guild leader Red Moon, Li Huailin received a long-distance call. He looked at the name: Red Moon Drinking Water.

"Such a coincidence?" Li Huailin was stunned for a moment, then answered the call.

"Brother-in-law!" Red Moon Drinking Water’s voice immediately came through, "Brother-in-law, are you done with your business? Are you busy now?"

"I’m just wandering around the main city, what’s up? Do you need something?" Li Huailin asked.

"Brother-in-law, come and take us through the dungeon. After you left, we tried again, but it was a disaster. I died four times, and I’m about to fall back to level 14." Red Moon Drinking Water said painfully, "This dungeon is so hard. It’s completely different from when we were with you. Sister Moon’s health was all over the place, and I couldn’t keep up with the healing."

"You’re still trying that dungeon..." Li Huailin smiled, "Forget it, I was just about to talk to you about something. I’ll come over now. Tell the guild leader and the others not to leave."

"Really? I knew Brother-in-law was the best!" Red Moon Drinking Water said happily.
