Bai Pu took the Dragon Tiger Pill with both hands.
Daoist Xiuqing gave so advice, suggesting that it’s best to take the Dragon Tiger Pill when in a good state, as this would increase the power gained.
Bai Pu fully agreed, as the item description of the Dragon Tiger Pill also ntioned that it could increase up to 3 points of Power, Agility, and Endurance! This ant that if not in a good state, only gaining one or two points of Physique Attribute was possible.
This precious elixir had an intertwined pattern of blue and white on its surface. When stared at for a long ti, the blue seed like a River Dragon, and the white like a fierce tiger, with a faintly flowing feeling, definitely not an ordinary item.
Bai Pu put away the Dragon Tiger Pill.
At this mont, a tingling sensation arose in his heart, making him want to craft so elixirs.
Perhaps it was because he had just changed his profession, during the most active ti of inspiration, Bai Pu felt that if he were to craft elixirs now, there was a great chance of success!
He looked up and said, "Daoist, may I borrow the Quiet Chamber?"
Daoist Xiuqing laughed and said, "You want to practice alchemy as well? Indeed, it’s best to consolidate what you’ve learned by practicing alchemy at this ti."
After a pause, Daoist Xiuqing asked again, "Do you have any elixir in mind that you want to craft?"
Bai Pu nodded, "I plan to craft Hemostatic Powder."
Hemostatic Powder is a low-level product in the Three Kingdoms: Chibi Plane, capable of healing external injuries and restoring Life Value.
"You didn’t aim too high, choosing to practice with low-level products first, which is very good." Daoist Xiuqing nodded, seemingly very appreciative, and then said, "In my pharmacy, there are still plenty of materials for Hemostatic Powder that you can use as you wish. As for this dicine Cauldron..."
Bai Pu quickly said, "I don’t need a dicine Cauldron."
At this ti, Bai Pu’s inspiration was surging, with endless creative ideas. He thought of breaking the norm; who said crafting elixir powders had to use a dicine Cauldron?
Ignoring Daoist Xiuqing’s surprised gaze, Bai Pu went to the kitchen, found a stove, and, using the iron pot on the stove, began his first attempt at alchemy.
"Amazing! You use a firewood to replace Alchemy Fire, can you really refine herbal materials?"
Bai Pu: "With a small fla and slow simring, if it’s a long ti, I suppose it’s possible."
"Huh, you don’t use a dicine Cauldron; how do you make the dicine, ensuring the rging of dicinal strength?"
Bai Pu: "Lend a spatula."
Daoist Xiuqing was dumbstruck, watching Bai Pu stirring the dicinal juice with a spatula in the iron pot, picking out the residue of stem and leaf of herbs after the dicinal strength was extracted, and finally even poured in so flour and maltose, producing a big half pot of sticky liquid.
"This... doesn’t seem to be mindless recklessness."
Daoist Xiuqing lightly sniffed it, "The dicinal properties are surprisingly well rged... why did you add flour and maltose?"
Bai Pu matter-of-factly said, "To make it stickier for a better hemostatic effect."
Daoist Xiuqing: "..."
As they spoke, Bai Pu had already covered the pot and started a big fire to condense the liquid!
Upon uncovering the pot again, the liquid within the iron pot had transford into a gelatinous substance, wobbling like jelly.
"This..." Daoist Xiuqing simply couldn’t accept that the gelatinous substance before him could be called an "elixir"!
Bai Pu scooped up a spoonful and closely observed it.
[Mutated Hemostatic Powder: dicine crafted using Daoist Alchemy. An enhanced version of Hemostatic Powder. Imdiately cancels bleeding effects with priority less than or equal to (2), accelerates wound healing, and continuously restores (50) points of Life Value within 120 seconds. The recovery effect will be interrupted if attacked.]
Bai Pu had seen ordinary Hemostatic Powder in the Wounded Soldier Camp before; it could cancel bleeding effects for so ti and restore 35 points of Life Value.
Yet Bai Pu’s created Mutated Hemostatic Powder instantly cancels bleeding effects, and its Life Value restoration has increased by over a third!
This should be due to the Professional Ability [East-West Fusion] effect of enhancing the efficacy of Alchemy Potions.
As for "Loosened Alchemy Conditions", this characteristic was even more evident; just looking at Daoist Xiuqing’s shattered perception, it was clear that not everyone could be so free and uninhibited as to use an iron pot for alchemy.
"This is no longer Hemostatic Powder," Daoist Xiuqing said with emotion. "You should give it a better na; as the inventor, you have that qualification."
Bai Pu simultaneously received a prompt from the Spirit Realm Will to na this mutated Hemostatic Powder. He thought for a bit and said, "Let’s call it ’Ergency First Aid Ointnt’!"
Being able to create the Ergency First Aid Ointnt was also partly due to luck; it was part of the reward for the S-level profession-changing task, the sudden burst of inspiration after successfully switching professions, following one’s intuition to create superior dicines.
Now, to let Bai Pu randomly improve and invent a new drug again would be impossible without long-term, repeated trial and error.
After completing the profession-changing task, Bai Pu looked at his converted score.
points.
Compared to before, it had increased by over a hundred points!
Eliminating the Level 5 Leader Mother of Jiang Tuo and its horde of minions yielded a lot of treasure chests, which in itself translated to a very high score, not to ntion the hidden sub-profession from the S-level task reward!
"I rember the leaderboard announced yesterday; the first-ranked Overlord had a score of 245 points. Judging from the score increase, the task Zhou Yu gave him, to go to the Gathering Iron Mountain and burn Cao Army’s grain, was also completed! His team’s truly terrifying!"
In this exam, the Overlord stood out, overshadowing everyone else.
What especially shocked Bai Pu was that the Overlord could actually complete the task of burning grain at the Gathering Iron Mountain.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, burning Cao Army’s grain was a sche by Zhou Yu to harm Zhuge Liang!
Cao Cao, astute and scheming, often cut off others’ supplies, so his own grain camp would surely be heavily guarded; how could he let others slip through?
Thus, Gathering Iron Mountain was undoubtedly a dragon’s lair and a tiger’s den!
In the novel, Zhou Yu sent Zhuge Liang, not with good intentions. But in this plane’s scenario, Zhou Yu left the trap for the Overlord—
The Overlord intercepted Kan Ze at night, thwarting Huang Gai’s ruse! How could Zhou Yu not be furious?
However, the Overlord intercepted a "traitor," which was a great rit on the surface, so Zhou Yu couldn’t punish him, and instead sent him to the Gathering Iron Mountain to die, which also vented so of his anger.
In this situation, Bai Pu felt that even he would find it challenging to complete a mission like that of burning the enemy’s provisions, sothing that in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was attempted by Zhou Yu against Zhuge Liang!
Cao Cao, being soone crafty and shrewd, would definitely have all his food supplies under heavy protection, making it impossible for others to sabotage. The fact that the Overlord managed to intercept a "traitor" and score a credit showed the efficiency and foresight of his team.
Of course, the Overlord was able to achieve this due to the combined strength of his team, not just his own abilities. His flamboyant approach of following the way of the Overlord and achieving results faster naturally had a higher scoring pace compared to Bai Pu’s path of out-of-the-box thinking!
Nonetheless, for the Overlord to reach that stage required the strength of a whole team.
Thus, it’s no surprise that five of the top ten ranking spots were filled by those following with the Overlord, as seen from the fluctuations in the leaderboard scores. This is what Bai Pu deduced from the changes in the leaderboard scores.
At the break of dawn (7:00 AM), the Spirit Realm Will announced the new day’s leaderboard on ti.
Bai Pu (Gangxin) ranked first, with 272 points.
The Overlord Team, which topped yesterday’s leaderboard, was overtaken, with the leading figure of the Overlord Team standing at 245 points. Judging by the score surge, Zhou Yu’s task of burning the Cao Army’s camp at Gathering Iron Mountain had indeed been completed!
"I rember yesterday, the leaderboard was announced, the Overlord leading the score with 245 points. Judging from recent score increases, Zhou Yu’s task to send him to burn Cao Army’s granaries was completed! His is truly a terrifying team!"
And then, 7:00 AM arrived, and the Spirit Realm Will announced the new day’s leaderboard right on ti.
Bai Pu (Gangxin) ranked first, with a score of 272 points.
The Overlord team wasn’t far behind, leading with 245 points. It seed the task from Zhou Yu to sabotage the grain at Gathering Iron Mountain was also completed! His team surely deserves to be regarded highly!
Bai Pu looked at the morning sun.
"I am also growing stronger... Though at present, my strength still can’t match those equipped with fine gear and experienced in secondary class transitions, the gap is steadily closing."
