BXBX NOVEL Chapter 524 Grinding Levels
I continued creating more and more Holy Water and Black Potions through Instant Creation, which seemed to have no limits other than asking me for Materials inside my Inventory and taking away around -10k MP per creation. I have over 200k MP, so that\'s nothing at all. But I guess not many people would be able to afford it.
PAAF!
Suddenly, a last explosion of smoke happened, as the last Holy Water Bottle was produced. I ran out of Light Attribute Ores or other materials to make more of them. Emeraldine has the Holy Light Magic, but without a material for it I can\'t do much.
"At the end, I was able to make 16, the exact number of White Glowing Stones I had. They\'re sometimes used as very expensive illuminators of places back in the Dwarven Country. Maybe if I use some of my newly earned money I could buy as much as they\'ve got. But we could also go mine some more later." I said while nodding.
I was also able to produce even more Black Potions as I had hundreds of Demonite, Poisonous Herbs only lost around 1 leaf, and I\'ve got tens of them, and Poisonous Water was easy to make by mixing water and my own poison created through my skills. Calculating it, I could probably make a bit over a hundred before I run out of Poisonous Herbs, but I had already begun the creation of an Underground "greenhouse" using my Phantom Familiars and the aid of some of my citizens.
Rabbit-kin were especially good at digging, so I tasked them building a small underground cave right behind the castle. Of course I help with my familiars. Goblins also joined too and we are almost done now. I\'ll plant some of the poisonous herbs there and feed them small moderate drops of miasma produced out of my own body, which will feed these plants to grow more and more, so I can make more Black Potions later if needed, or other poisonous concoctions.
At the end, I settled with 16 Holy Water Bottles and 25 Black Potions. Emeraldine said that more than 25 would be too much for what we were going to do, and that it was better to save materials for now.
Ding!
[You Instant Created [Holy Water (D Grade)] x16 and [Black Potion (D Grade)] x25!]
[You earned 4100 Alchemy Skill Proficiency]
[You earned 1025000 EXP]
[Level]: [43/80]
[EXP]: [1827000/3900000]
Ahh, still not enough to Level up, goddamn.
However, Alchemy Skill reached Level 3, and Recipe Book is close to Level 3 by a few hundred more Skill Proficiency points, both Skills are leveling at a steady and similar pace so they\'ll level up almost together.
"This should be more than enough, let\'s make a Lightning Bomb now!"
Emeraldine quickly decided to lead us across the entire process amazingly, her Alchemy Skill was already at Level 6 by now, so she was certainly our master in regards of Alchemy. Although I will one day surpass her, for now we are going slowly yet steadily.
The Cauldron\'s Liquified Magic Essence began bubbling with the Phantasmal Fire I left below it, as we began to quickly add the materials while Emeraldine slowly began to move the Liquified Magic Essence around, the more it moves, the faster and more efficient the process of alchemy becomes, so it is almost necessary.
"Slowly add Yellow Bronze one by one, with intervals of five seconds each…" Emeraldine guided us, as we placed the expensive metal inside of the cauldron\'s bubbling liquids.
"After that, add small pieces of Magical Gold Ore, we only have a few, but one divided into small pieces should be enough…" Emeraldine said. I had used my Mining Skill to dismantle the big piece of pure ore, which was an interesting ability I had no idea Mining could possess.
Slowly, Yellow Bronze and Magical Gold Ore began to converge together, the hot liquid quickly melted both ores and mixed their golden liquid forms together beautifully.
"Now, for Elemental Boost, Wind Emerald, two of them is enough."
We dropped two beautiful green jewels, as they shone brightly, sparks of lightning emerged from within them for a split of a second before they melded with the other materials.
"A large quantity of Gunpowder…"
We sprinkled gunpowder in large quantities as if we were adding salt to a meal.
"Gumstone to keep everything together."
We added the elastic Gumstone generously.
"Alchemy Clay for consistency."
We added Alchemy Clay, which was also made out of Gumstone and other materials, it had an even higher affinity with products and always enhanced their quality.
"And finally, add four bottles of Holy Water."
We opened the Holy Water bottles and poured its contents one by one without stopping, dropping the glasses into the floor, as they suddenly turned into particles of light and disappeared like a game-like item.
"Now, everyone, together!" Emeraldine led us, as we conjured [Synthesis] within the Alchemy Skill constantly. Emeraldine used her [Brewing] Skill to add even more mastery and strengthen the mixture of elements.
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, bright white light emerged from within the cauldron, as lightning sparks appeared everywhere for a few seconds, we were all taken aback, stepping back a few centimeters.
And then, four Bombs appeared, floating over the Liquified Magic Essence filling the Magic Cauldron. They resembled Granada fruits but made of transparent white glass, and inside of them, there was a white center. It emanated both a holy and lightning element from within.
"And done!" Emeraldine celebrated.
"We did it!" Partner celebrated. "Cool, Alchemy Level 2!" She celebrated her Alchemy Skill Leveling Up.
"Amazing… Lightning Bombs!" I said. With this we can deal some nasty damage to any Boss Monster that shows up to ruin our day in that dangerous dungeon.
Ding!
[You have created [Lightning Bomb (C Grade)] x4!]
[You earned 2000 Alchemy Proficiency]
[You earned 400000 EXP]
[The [Novice Alchemist Recipe Book: Lv2] Skill has Leveled up to Level 3!]
"Eh?! Level 3 already?! Making Alchemy really levels up things fast…" I said in surprise.
"Well yeah, but around Level 5 and above things become slower." Said Emeraldine. "Though with enough mass production, reaching higher Alchemy Levels is not something hard, you just need a constant pace!"
