Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1847: Three and four turn

Ye Zhongming and the others watched with great interest even though this was already the second type of medicine He was refining.

Back on Earth, Cloud Peak did have alchemist job users and even potion makers, etc., but none had such a miraculous manufacturing process.

The jobs created by wheel technology required certain things for production. Even special jobs with prefixes, like Ye Zhongmingʼs own Glory Smith, who seemed to be able to work without a blueprint, still required materials.

As for the process... There was some light, some morphological changes, but that was all.

But Heʼs was truly different. Although she also needed a carrier, her carrier was the holy sigils on her body!

”Because our tribespeopleʼs holy sigils are bestowed by heaven, after exploration by predecessors over countless years, we have developed quite perfect ability forms. The abilities of the holy sigils are far from being as simple as just for attack. In fact, one could say attack is the lowest-end and most energy-wasting method. Their true abilities are not like this.”

He had explained this to Ye Zhongming and the others earlier. It was clear that once they let go of their reservations, the people of the Changxu Water Tribe handled matters very gently and didnʼt have many other ulterior motives. To put it sentimentally, they were very pure.

This precisely illustrated from another aspect why this race couldnʼt survive in the universe. First, they had things that made others coveted, but they could not protect themselves. Second, their minds were uncomplicated and straightforward. So if they werenʼt eliminated, who would be?

”The main ability of the holy sigils is to refine medicine. Each holy sigil has its own special ability, which injects the corresponding ability or energy into the medicine. The effect and grade of the medicine mainly depended on how many holy sigils have refined it. Of course, each pill can only be made by one tribesperson. That is to say, the number of holy sigils the maker has directly affects the quality of the medicine.”

”The two most powerful ancestors of our tribe had eleven holy sigils. The highest-grade medicines they refined underwent refinement by eleven holy sigils. The effects were simply... how to put it... Four types of medicine, each with effects like divine objects.”
When He said this, her eyes were full of nostalgia and admiration.

She herself had ten holy sigils, so the highest-grade medicine she could make was refined ten times. Because Ye Zhongming had read certain novels on Earth, he used the term ʼten-turnʼ to describe it.

According to He, there were ten types of ten-turn medicine. Over seven of them required materials that were quite rare and hard to find. Ordinary materials couldnʼt withstand ten-turn refinement by holy sigils and would simply be destroyed.

The remaining three types had materials that were only relatively easier to find, but gathering them was still very difficult. Ye Zhongming targeted the Spiral Fish because the fish glue was also a material required for one of the ten-turn medicines.

”Today, I can only make two types of medicine. One is a three-turn medicine, and the other is slightly more difficult, a four-turn medicine.”

After He finished saying this, she entered the refining state.

The place chosen for refining was halfway up a mountain on an island. There was a depression that seemed to have been created by something smashing into it, forming a natural, sheltered harbor pit about ten meters deep and fifty meters in diameter. The edges of the pit were covered with trees, which well concealed the situation inside. Coupled with the fact that this mountain was already densely vegetated, any light or movement He made inside wouldnʼt be easily discovered.

Including Ye Zhongming, everyone except He was distributed around the edges of the sunken pit, guarding her safety.

At the same time, they could also watch the refining process at any time.

After all, He was sitting in the center of the pit bottom. From Ye Zhongming and the othersʼ perspective, there were no obstacles, and their eyesight was excellent, so they naturally saw the process clearly.

The required materials automatically suspended around her the moment He activated it. Then the holy sigils began to glow slowly on her body, turning into something like a light screen that sucked in the materials one by one, turning them into liquid and gradually merging them.

After a period of time, the medicine would basically take shape. Whether pills or potions, they would be placed in containers.

Next was the second holy sigil. The difference was that it refined the product made by the first sigil.

Then came the third and the required fourth.

The pills were continuously refined under this light, finally splitting into ten and falling into porcelain bottles.

If one looked carefully, they would find that the pills had four holy sigil-shaped symbols, much smaller in size, which were quite magical.

After only a short rest, He began refining another type. Since the four-turn medicine had already been refined, this time only a three-turn refinement was needed. Both the difficulty and the required time were reduced accordingly, and it succeeded quickly. However, the three-turn medicine was a liquid, all contained in another bottle.

Even though He was a nine-star evolved, refining two types of medicine consecutively still made her somewhat tired. After all, not everyone had mental strength as frightening as Ye Zhongmingʼs.

Only Shi Kangbu and Yang Tuo were left on the periphery for vigilance. Ye Zhongming, Helsky, and Jie Kui had already reached Heʼs side. Looking at the refined medicines, the Cloud Peak King asked with anticipation, ”Now, can you tell us what effects these have?”

Earlier, He had kept it a secret, which naturally made the others itch with curiosity.

He smiled, gently picking up the three-turn bottle and saying, ”This one is External Water, specifically for treating external injuries. How to put it... Let me give an example: if someoneʼs neck is cut open, if this medicine is poured on immediately, the wound will heal within seconds, so naturally, they wonʼt die. However, it only works on this type of severe damage. If itʼs internal injuries or poison damage, it has no effect.”

Ye Zhongming and the other two looked at each other, seeing shock in each otherʼs eyes.

Indeed, this medicine only targeted external injuries, but such heaven-defying efficacy was simply a gospel for evolved individuals. And this was only a three-turn medicine? What would a ten-turn medicine be like?

”That, may I ask, the ones you sold in the novice camp earlier...”

Helsky knew He didnʼt want to acknowledge him, but he couldnʼt help asking.

Perhaps the successful medicine refinement put He in a good mood. Although her tone turned cold, she still answered, ”One-turn.”

Sure enough, what could be sold were the lowest grade.

”This, our tribe calls it Progress Pill. The effect is that after taking it, it can improve the weakest attribute in oneʼs body. How much it improves depends on each personʼs situation. Of course, you canʼt keep taking it. Each life can take at most three pills.”

”Permanent?”

This time, even Ye Zhongming couldnʼt help it.

He nodded. ”Permanent.”

Jie Kui swallowed hard. Now he wasnʼt admiring He but admiring Ye Zhongming. This vision was too amazing! Without knowing much about the Changxu Water Tribe, he had already thought of recruiting He into the team early on.

Perhaps it was a lucky accident, but that was still terrifying enough. This luck couldnʼt be better.

Jie Kui became even more determined to cling to this personʼs coattails.

Ye Zhongming, on the other hand, laughed heartily. Now, not to mention hunting Spiral Fish, he even dared to challenge other, more powerful existences!
