Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1711: Chapter 574: Evangelist’s Return, Legendary Alchemist!

Moreover, Cao Xing even temporarily added another ten thousand portions, and they were still snatched up by the Survivors in a short time.

When the Trading ended, he patted his backpack in satisfaction, then glanced at the quantity of materials inside.

[Blood Coagulation Grass (Blue)] *345890

[Blue Blood Lotus (Orange)] *25411

...

All these materials together could even be refined into more than twenty thousand portions of [Blood Suppression Secret Medicine]!

Excitement flashed through Cao Xing’s eyes, and he said joyfully, ”Good, good, good! For a short while, I don’t have to worry about materials anymore.”

Then he quickly pushed open the door of the Alchemy Workshop and found Franciska.

As soon as he went in, he raised his voice.

”All the materials are gathered.”

The Witch listened, a faintly interested smile hanging at the corner of her mouth, as if she was very curious about Cao Xing’s method of collecting materials.

”Put them into the Storage Box, I can start making them right away.”

Cao Xing nodded, but before that, he first glanced at her Skill Level panel.

[Master-level Alchemy Mastery: 196267/200000]

...

Seeing this number, Cao Xing was a bit surprised.

”Damn, it’s actually almost full already!”

”So, she only needs to raise a few thousand more Skill Level points to reach a higher Alchemist Realm?”

So Cao Xing directly asked, ”Franciska, can your Alchemy Mastery be raised again?”

This Mixed-blood Witch looked up, then nodded lightly. ”It can.”

”Then you’re already a Master-level Alchemist now. If you go further up, what Realm will it be?”

The Witch replied, ”Life Skills like this aren’t like our Power system, where you have to go from Master to Hero, then to Legendary.”

”Once Master-level Alchemy Mastery breaks through, it will directly be Legendary-level Alchemist.”

”And once I become a Legendary-level Alchemist, I’ll undergo a qualitative change.”

”Not only will the Speed of Alchemy increase several times, but even during Alchemy, Special Effects will appear.”

”What kind of Special Effects?” Cao Xing asked, puzzled.

”When refining Potions, there’s a chance to raise the finished product by one Grade. Of course, this chance is very small.”

Understanding flashed in Cao Xing’s eyes.

He continued to ask, ”Then for you to break through to Legendary-level Alchemist now, do you need any conditions?”

Just like back then when Harold’s Forging Mastery needed [Artisan Soul] to rise to Master, Cao Xing worried that Franciska’s Charge toward Legendary Alchemist might also require some bizarre stuff.

The Witch shook her head lightly. ”No. As long as my accumulation is sufficient, I can Charge toward Legendary.”

Hearing this, joy appeared on Cao Xing’s face.

He had just opened his mouth when Franciska interrupted, ”However, raising Life Skills to Legendary is extremely difficult...”

”Even after I’ve brewed Potions for several hundred years, I’ve only barely touched the threshold.”

”Even if my Experience accumulation is enough, if I Charge for the Legendary Realm now, there’s a high probability I’ll fail.”

Cao Xing’s brows slightly furrowed. ”What happens if you fail?”

Franciska recalled for a moment, then said, ”Possibly... I’ll lose a portion of my memories and Alchemy insights.”

”I’d need to refine a huge amount of Potions to make up for it.”

Cao Xing suddenly understood something.

”You mean that failing the Legendary Charge will lose Skill Level?”

The Witch froze for a moment, seemingly not understanding what he meant by Skill Level.

But she still replied, ”Probably, yes...”

A faint smile rose on Cao Xing’s face. ”Then that’s easy!”

As he spoke, he directly took out a total of 16 Skill Level Emblems from his backpack.

Then he aimed one right at Franciska and used it!

As the Emblem in Cao Xing’s hand vanished,

in an instant, the Witch felt a vast surge of memory suddenly appear in her mind!

All these memories were various Alchemy knowledge and techniques, even comparable to what she would gain from two or three months of regular Alchemy!

A moment later, she had completely digested these memories.

Cao Xing noticed that Franciska’s Skill Level was already full.

Then he asked, ”Well? This thing should be able to restore the Experience or Skill Level you lose, right?”

Franciska nodded solemnly. ”It can.”

”But this amount still isn’t enough. One failed Charge will cost half of my memories and Experience.

Cao Xing did a quick calculation in his mind.

Half meant one hundred thousand Skill Level.

The 15 Expert Level Badge here only added up to seventy-five thousand Skill Level; it really wasn’t enough.

His brows creased slightly.

Franciska continued, ”Also, for Secondary Professions like us Alchemists and Forging Masters to Charge for Legendary, while it isn’t as troublesome as Combat Professions Charging for Legendary, there are still certain limits.”

”That is, the number of Legendary Charge attempts is fixed for everyone.”

”Every failure will cost a certain underlying foundation, and that foundation cannot be replenished.”

”If you fail three times, then there will never again be any hope of Charging into Legendary.”

Cao Xing’s gaze flickered; this was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

Three failures, and the Legendary path is completely cut off.

Looked at this way, a Legendary-level Secondary Profession is even rarer than a Combat Profession!

The Witch seemed to see Cao Xing’s concern and chuckled softly. ”Do you want me to try Charging for Legendary now?”

”You don’t need to worry too much. It’s not like I’m guaranteed to fail this time. What if I succeed in one go?”

A smile also surfaced on Cao Xing’s face.

Right, he was a man with dozens of Luck Value points; what if Franciska really did succeed in one shot?

Besides, even if she failed, she would still be a Master-level Alchemist, with no real loss.

”Then let’s give it a try. Aim for breaking through in one go.”

”Alright.” Franciska lightly nodded her delicate head.

Then she said, ”I need a quiet environment now.”

”The breakthrough will take about ten hours.”

Cao Xing nodded slightly. ”Got it, go ahead.”

With that, the Witch left the Alchemy Workshop and returned to her own room.

Cao Xing also walked out from inside.

Standing in the Territory, Cao Xing felt a bit of anticipation in his heart for Franciska’s breakthrough this time.

”For now, what I need to prepare is almost all done.”

”Isabell has successfully returned and has become the best candidate to break through to Legendary.”

”And with only a short week left until the new expansion launches, it’s time for me to start sprinting as well!”

Thinking this, a pair of transparent Wind Wings instantly unfolded behind him.

They beat lightly in midair, and he flew directly into the sky.

Cao Xing left the Territory, heading out to hunt those enhanced Ice Nest battles.

Time rushed by, and the daytime soon passed.

Around four in the afternoon, Cao Xing returned to the Territory right on time.

After roughly ten hours of combat during the day, he had once again gained a huge amount of Experience Value, and his Level had soared by three Levels!

And not long after he came back—

Cao Xing suddenly sensed that a vast aura was rising from one of the houses in the Territory’s residential area.

”Buzz!”

Like a Tornado sweeping through an Original Forest, carrying a tremor that made hearts quiver,

”Crash!”

All the plants in the entire Territory were shaking violently, and even the crown of the Pale Tree was sweeping toward a single direction.

As if celebrating the birth of some great existence!

As this Tornado grew ever more intense, it was accompanied by the fragrance of herbs and the scent of soil.

”This commotion... could it be that Franciska is about to succeed?”

Uncertainty flashed in Cao Xing’s eyes.

At the same time, a System Prompt appeared.

[Your Territory Members: Franciska has immersed herself in cultivation, and has finally broken the limit. Alchemy Mastery has risen to Legendary-level!]

[Congratulations! You now have a Legendary-level Alchemist. Territory Prosperity +500...]
