"Captain Rogel, you don’t know, while you were diving, a group of pirates planned to rob us, but they were taken out by a sea monster, and their ship sank to the bottom of the sea..."
"Luckily, that sea monster seed to be full from eating pirates; otherwise, we’d be dood..."
Kadi, thinking Rogel was unaware of this, began to explain vividly.
Diving?
Rogel felt sothing was off.
"So, did you gain anything?"
Lina inquired.
With Rogel’s return, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
For so reason, she always felt at ease when Rogel was on the ship.
"Gained a lot." Rogel smiled at her, "Soon, you all might beco Extraordinary too."
Upon hearing this, Lina blinked her eyes.
Kadi beca excited imdiately: "What about , Captain Rogel? Can I beco Extraordinary too? I want to control the undead too!"
"You should aim to beco an official crew mber first."
Mira rolled her eyes.
Kadi’s face fell at those words.
"Let’s head out to Giant Claw City."
Everyone agreed in response.
The Gelin raised its sails and set off again, heading towards the next destination.
...
Several days later.
Most days at sea were quite dull, yet Rogel’s life remained routine and interesting.
First and foremost, learning Magic Potion and Pharmacy.
For this, Rogel took two Warrior’s Residual Spirits from the stock of four and used them on Knowledge Comprehension skills.
[Knowledge Comprehension Lv3 → Knowledge Comprehension Lv5.]
He had initially planned to reserve all four skill points for Magic Potion.
But after gaining so understanding from Old dicine Ding, he decided to first raise Knowledge Comprehension to the current limit.
Because even if Rogel quickly learned Magic Potion and had Magic Potion Recipes, he couldn’t prepare a potion imdiately.
The reason lay in the materials.
The materials needed for potion making were incredibly complex and required searching far and wide.
Pharmacy was the sa.
So, Rogel opted to improve his Knowledge Comprehension level as it would accelerate his learning of special skills.
Rogel exchanged with Old dicine Ding for many potion materials, herb seeds, and more than a dozen auxiliary magic potion ingredients as well as so finished potions.
Of course, this wasn’t without cost. Rogel left behind so money and a Crystal Coral Tree fruit as well as many useless weapons, equipnt, and materials.
For the dicine Race exploring outside on the Day of Ergence, these things were still useful.
Yet compared to what Old dicine Ding provided, Rogel still got the better end of the deal.
But Old dicine Ding was generous and didn’t mind.
In addition, Old dicine Ding gave Rogel a special item.
[Sound Transmission Conch]
[Type: Item]
[Effect: The user can leave a sound ssage with another connected conch through the Sound Transmission Conch.]
[Explanation: Sound Transmission Conches are rare and genderless, usually appearing in pairs, having a special connection. After one dies, pouring a small amount of seawater into its shell allows for a sound ssage to be left for the other conch.]
Old dicine Ding generously gave Rogel three pairs of Sound Transmission Conches, using one pair for communication with Rogel.
In return, Rogel just needed to occasionally tell him interesting stories from the outside world.
"Staying in the Purification Rift for nearly a thousand years is indeed a kind of tornt."
Old dicine Ding’s people hid in the Purification Rift for their own safety.
After all, they might be the last of the dicine Race in this world.
Thus, the little old man, Old dicine Ding, hoped Rogel could bring so entertainnt to his dull and monotonous life.
Rogel agreed happily.
As Rogel lay in bed thinking, the ga character on his phone screen sat at a desk in his room, flipping through "Basic Magic Potion".
Before long, the ga provided a prompt.
[After reading skills-related information, you gained a learning progress point.]
[With the enhancent of Knowledge Comprehension Lv5, you gained additional learning progress.]
["Basic Magic Potion" learning progress completed!]
[You comprehended a special skill: Magic Potion Lv1!]
These days, Rogel spent a lot of ti learning the Magic Potion skill.
In fact, after eting the requirents, the entry difficulty wasn’t very high, and the learning progress wasn’t much either.
Rogel closed his eyes to feel the knowledge surfacing in his mind, then took out the remaining two Warrior’s Residual Spirits from the item inventory and used them on Magic Potion.
[Magic Potion Lv1 → Magic Potion Lv3.]
With the improved level of Magic Potion, more knowledge appeared in Rogel’s mind, as if he had successfully concocted several potions.
Having done this, Rogel took out the Magic Potion Recipe Lina had given him.
[You read the Magic Potion Recipe - Blood Spirit Shadow Stab.]
[You can now concoct the corresponding magic potion!]
[Potion Na: Blood Spirit Shadow Stab]
[Main Ingredients of the Potion: Corpse Blood Demon Heart ×1, Shadow Bat Fang ×2, 1g of Drooping Bud dicinal Herb Dew.]
[Potion Lead: 10g of Sharp-Horned Whale Fragrance.]
[Auxiliary Ingredients: Stalactite Dew, Purple Gromwell Juice, Ashes of Hundred Herbs, Cave Fungus Filant...]
"Indeed, it’s a hassle..."
Glancing over the materials required for the Magic Potion Recipe, Rogel frowned slightly.
He then took out a Material Guide and studied it carefully before finally finding the information he needed.
"Luckily, there aren’t particularly hard-to-obtain items among the auxiliary ingredients, and Old dicine Ding gave so of the complex ones."
"Sharp-Horned Whale Fragrance is also easy to obtain; I’ll leave it to Deep Sea Blood Touch for automatic exploration."
Actually, the Sharp-Horned Whale Fragrance is not simple.
The Sharp-Horned Whale is an extraordinary creature, large in size. After its natural death and formation of a whale fall, a special plant is born, from which the Sharp-Horned Whale Fragrance is derived. It’s not like ambergris, but is more precious in comparison.
The difficulty in obtaining it lies in the environnt; after all, whale falls are hard to find, and the active area of sharp-horned whales is in the deep sea, making Sharp-Horned Whale Fragrance very hard to acquire.
The difficulty of exploring the deep sea area is well known, but for Deep Sea Blood Touch, it’s not a problem.
So, the potion’s challenge lies in the "Corpse Blood Demon Heart" and the "Shadow Bat Fang", as well as the final "Drooping Bud dicinal Herb Dew".
Both the Corpse Blood Demon and the Shadow Bat are extraordinary creatures, and they belong to the rare kind.
Or they can be considered extraordinary monsters as well because of their strong aggressiveness.
However, finding them is no easy task.
The last challenge is the Drooping Bud dicinal Herb Dew.
The Magic Potion Material Guide describes it as "a clear, erald green dew condensed when the plant is in a very happy mood the next day".
For most people, this would be a baffling task.
How do you get that?
But at this mont, Rogel rubbed his chin, already having a plan.
Unexpectedly, the key to the Blood Spirit Shadow Stab Potion lies with that silly Little Elf.
Perhaps only Iya has the thod to make plants happy.
"I need to think of a way to communicate with her properly..."
Rogel contemplated.
