Chapter 1471: Chapter 93: Ancient Secret Medicine and Bankruptcy

The difficulty of advancing to Sword Technique Master is not low. Su Xiao has already obtained six fragments of the Grandmaster’s Power, with four remaining. If the Paradise coins or Soul Crystals in hand are sufficient, it’s not impossible to get them.

As for challenging designated strong opponents in the Trial Field, while Su Xiao is uncertain, he’s not too worried given his current hard strength is evident.

Is it really true? Many have tried in the Trial Field, intending to obtain the Proof of Glory, yet over 95% have failed.

Currently, Su Xiao is not in a hurry to upgrade Sword Technique Master to Lv.MAX. After checking, he found that reaching Lv.MAX brings a significant boost; the sword attack power bonus increases by 15%, and the power of Blade Aura almost increases by one-third.

Su Xiao took out three gemstones from the storage space, three Legendary Gems.

Mad Knight (Legendary Gem): Attacks accompany ignored Physical Defense damage equal to True Agility Attribute × 0.9 (88 points).

Elegy (Legendary Gem): If enhancement causes the weapon to shatter, Elegy replaces the shattered weapon.

Blood Hunter (Legendary Gem): Each time an enemy is killed, it permanently increases the embedded weapon’s minimum attack power, up to 30 points.

...

Each of the three Legendary Gems has its own unique features: power increase, support type, and permanent growth potential. Su Xiao attempts embedding.

[Do you want to embed Mad Knight, Elegy, and Blood Hunter into Dragon Slash +13 (Legendary Level)? If this embedding is completed, it will cost 120,000 Paradise coins.]

After glancing at the remaining Paradise coins, Su Xiao decides to embed.

Dragon Slash, in its sheath, floats into the air. The three Legendary Gems quickly shrink and eventually become the size of rice grains, embedding at the end of the sword’s handle.

The embedding completes quickly. With this, Dragon Slash now has five Legendary Gems embedded, and coupled with its terrifying enhancement level, the slicing power is imaginable.

Fortunately, Bubu Wang is there to sell Skill Scrolls. If it were just Su Xiao handling these things, it would take at least a dozen hours or even a whole day.

After a busy round, Su Xiao converted most of the gains into strength. Now only the newly acquired alchemy formula and two unopened Legendary Treasure Boxes remain.

After pondering for a moment, Su Xiao decides to first master the new alchemy potion recipe, as this recipe is too unique.

[Ancient Secret Medicine (Alchemy Potion Study Recipe)]

Price: 215,000 Paradise coins

...

After waiting about two hours, the Ancient Secret Medicine recipe shatters in Su Xiao’s hands. Meanwhile, Bubu Wang has sold all the Skill Scrolls. After deducting the cost of mastering the new recipe, Su Xiao has only 79,920 Paradise coins remaining.

[You have unlocked a new alchemical potion study recipe.]

[Ancient Secret Medicine: Each time it is manufactured, it consumes 500 mana points and materials: Essence of Life Condensation, Water of the Void Spring, Sprout of Birth, Holy Oak Fruit, Crystal Bottle.]

...

Seeing the materials needed for Ancient Secret Medicine, Su Xiao feels troubled. Except for the Crystal Bottle, he hasn’t heard of any other materials.

[Do you want to spend Paradise coins to substitute the required materials? It will consume 10,000 Paradise coins.]

With a manufacturing cost as high as 10,000 Paradise coins, Su Xiao is temporarily unclear about its effects, so he chooses to make a bottle to see the attributes of Ancient Secret Medicine.

After spending Paradise coins, several materials appear in Su Xiao’s hands. The Crystal Bottle is not needed, as there are many in his alchemy lab.

Entering the lab, Su Xiao begins to work busily at the workbench. The potion is not generated out of thin air but needs to be personally concocted by him.

As it’s his first concoction, Su Xiao spends more than two hours and wastes three sets of materials before successfully concocting a bottle of Ancient Secret Medicine.

[Ancient Secret Medicine]

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise

Quality: Gold

Type: Healing items/Permanent enhancement potion

Effect: Drinking it rapidly restores 90% of Life Value (can recover Life Value derived from True Stamina Attribute) and, for the next 30 minutes, permanently increases Life Value by 20 points and Poison Resistance or random Elemental Resistance by 1 point.

Rating: 400 points (Gold Quality potion rating ranges from 310 to 400 points)

Introduction: A rare ancient potion that combines life-saving and self-enhancement.

...

Seeing the attributes of Ancient Secret Medicine, Su Xiao’s eyes light up. This potion practically gets stronger the more you drink it. Drinking dozens of bottles would significantly boost survivability.

Of course, aside from the waste of resources when drinking dozens of bottles continuously, any potion taken frequently in a short time will produce potion resistance, with diminishing effects until eventually ineffective.

Using [Ancient Secret Medicine] when injured is the best choice. Enhancements should accumulate over time, allowing the body to gradually accept the potion’s benefits. This is the most rational choice.

Just as Su Xiao finished making [Ancient Secret Medicine], Bubu Wang returned to the exclusive room. As for A Mu and Bennie, A Mu went to appease its empty stomach, while Bennie was doing business with a tablet computer in the trading market, starting with a capital of 50,000 Paradise coins. This was Bubu Wang’s investment, holding 40% shares. Bennie also holds 40%, and the uninvolved A Mu holds 10%, while Su Xiao, who has basically nothing to do with this matter, holds 10% as well.

For this, Bubu Wang even verbally established a company called "Public Company", not because it wanted to go public but because the name is simply Public Company.

In Bubu Wang’s words, Bennie is a wealth-obsessed cat. Master, you haven’t seen it; when selling the Skill Scrolls, that Meow Star People seemed to have triggered some switch, scamming the Contractors buying the scrolls until they questioned their existence.

Previously, Su Xiao was surprised at how ten Skill Scrolls could sell for nearly 2 million Paradise coins. It turns out Bennie was managing the finances.

"I said it would fail miserably."

Su Xiao smiled while Bubu Wang shook its head, indicating: "That Meow Star People is clever."

Just then, the door to the exclusive room was pushed open, and an uninspired Bennie walked in, jumped straight onto the bed, and buried its upper body under the blanket – clearly indicating it’s in a self-imposed exile. The Public Company declared bankruptcy faster than the fundraising process.

Bubu Wang looked at Su Xiao with adoration, as if to say: "Master, how did you know?"

Su Xiao could naturally predict it. Bennie only just entered Reincarnation Paradise, and any money made before was based on its astonishing financial power of over one million Paradise coins.

It’s like the difference between investing 20 million versus 500,000; the former easily makes gains, while the latter faces many challenges.

Not paying attention to the self-exiled Bennie, Su Xiao takes out the two Legendary Treasure Boxes. He prepares to exert his will over them with the crushing advantage of 10 Luck Attributes.

At that moment, wealth-obsessed cat Bennie pops out of the blanket and crouches on the wooden table in front of Su Xiao, staring intently at the two Legendary Treasure Boxes, its greedy nature undeniably apparent.
