Chapter 1 Intermediate Alchemy

After closing the attribute panel, Yang Tian looked at a small wooden board not far in front of him. On it was written the NPC who issued the mission in the town. Various types of missions made people dazzled.

His eyes swept over it, and a task appeared to be more individual—the eccentric old man Dong.

"Just you"

Following the task introduction, turning left and right came to an ordinary family, the door was open, and there were several wooden chairs lying in the yard.

After a few steps across the threshold, one can see a figure busy in the small old house, and a small alchemy furnace is placed in the center of the house.Just as Yang Tian was about to enter the back room to pick up the task, he suddenly stopped, pondered for a while, straightened the small wooden chair on the ground, and placed it neatly before entering the room.

In order to increase the fun of the game, the developer will design all kinds of gadgets, maybe some small details are the key to the mission, and he has always been rigorous and will not miss these.Besides, even if it wasn't, he didn't lose anything.

The little old man didn't seem to notice the person's arrival, he was concentrating on the work in hand, throwing a few herbs in from time to time, and the pill furnace released a faint fragrance.

"Old man, do you need any help?" Yang Tian asked.

The little old man didn't reply and continued to do his own business.

Being ignored, Yang Tian touched his nose depressedly, it seemed that cleaning up the wooden chair had no effect.However, he was not discouraged, so he simply found a seat and sat down, quietly watching the little old man concocting alchemy.

Time passed slowly, and half an hour passed in a blink of an eye. During this period, several players came one after another, wanting to take on a task, but the little old man still looked indifferent, and the few players left cursing. There was one waiting like Yang Tian, ​​the character ID came to stretch out his palm.

"Brother, how long have you been waiting here?" Ru Lai stretched out his palm and sat down, and simply talked to him.

Yang Tian glanced at him, said lightly, "Half an hour"

"So long? Is there a hidden mission here?" Rulai stretched out her palm and asked.

"do not know"

Seeing that Yangtian didn't have the desire to speak, he stretched out his palms without chattering, murmured a few words and then closed his mouth.

Another 10 minutes passed, and Yang Tian frowned slightly. It seemed that it was not worthwhile to spend so much time even if he received the task.

But after thinking about it, the task is the old man with a weird temper, so he might as well wait another 10 minutes, and if it still does, then give up.

"Om", just as he was thinking, a faint crackling sound entered his ears, and at the same time, the fragrance in the air became more intense.

Dan made it?Yang Tian frowned.

Sure enough, the little old man opened the pill furnace, took out a glossy pill, and carefully hid it in a small box.

"What's the matter with you?" Only then did the little old man set his eyes on the two of them.

"May I help you?" Yang Tian repeated his previous words.

"Oh...help me", the little old man narrowed his eyes, "It happens that I don't have enough lantern plants, so go and help me collect 100 lantern plants."

Lantern plant?Seems a bit familiar.

"What is lantern plant? Where can I pick it?" Ru Lai stretched out her palm beside her and asked.There is no prompt for the task, just let people collect items, there is no way to start.

The little old man didn't pay much attention, turned around and walked into a small room.

"Fuck, why is an NPC dragging?" Rulai finally couldn't help cursing in a low voice, stretching out his palm, no matter who waited for so long, but got a task with no hope of completion, he would be extremely depressed.

"Brother, I advise you not to do it either, it's completely cheating, I'll quit first", after speaking, he stretched out his palm and left the small old house.

"It really is an old man with a weird temper," Yang Tian chuckled.

But he didn't leave. He vaguely felt that the word lantern grass was somewhat familiar. Lantern grass...

correct!Lantern Valley.

Yang Tian thought for a moment, is there a connection between the two?

Lantern Valley is a non-surprising landscape map in this game. It is not too far from Yanxia Town. This is what he checked on the official website map.

During this month, he almost spent searching for information again. He dare not say that he remembered the map points of "Ancient Artifacts" [-]%, but he had some impressions.

Looking at the closed door, presumably the little old man would not give any hints.

"Let's go and have a look, the four or 10 minutes of waiting can't be wasted." He could vaguely feel the opportunity to complete this task!
With the help of the game, I found a path leading to Lantern Valley. During this period, I avoided the tenth-level monster area and made a circle before arriving.

There are magnificent waterfalls, dense bamboo forests all over the place, refreshing breath and the melodious chirping of birds' hooves.

"If you get tired of playing in the future, you can cultivate yourself here. A pot of sake, beautiful scenery on a good day, it's not a bad idea." Yang Tian took a breath, moved by his indifference, and had to say that this place is indeed unique .

"However, let's finish the task first," and stepped into it.

System: You discovered Lantern Valley.

Before he walked a few steps, several green lantern-shaped plants appeared in front of him. He cast a detection technique, and it was exactly the lantern plant he was looking for.

As expected, Yang Tian was overjoyed.

Apart from anything else, throw a collection technique.

"Ding, collection failed, lantern grass disappeared"

Yang Tian's face froze, what's the matter?He threw a collection technique on the second plant, but it still failed.

Continue to collect.

"Ding, you got five lantern plants"

Finally succeeded, Yang Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

A pile of lantern plants lay quietly in the backpack, and looked at its attributes.

Lantern grass: Tier [-] herb (only produced in Lantern Valley)

Seeing the sentence that it is only produced in Lantern Valley, Yang Tian's heart moved. Does this mean that Lantern Grass has market monopoly value?This game has just started the server, the player is busy with leveling, so he won't touch it at all, so it just happens to let him take advantage of it.But then I thought about it, I was alone, and it was not realistic to want to have a monopoly effect.

"Fill your backpack and go back"

With a plan in mind, Yang Tian started the sweep of lantern plants. It took an entire hour, and I don't know how many lantern plants were discarded. A 40-slot backpack has 100 lantern plants superimposed on each grid, a total of 4000 plants!The backpack was so full that I couldn't put it down before returning to the town and storing it in the warehouse first.

All the way to the little old man's house, he was tinkering with the alchemy furnace again.

"Did you bring the lantern plant?" The old man asked without turning his head.

"Well, I want to ask what is the effect of the lantern plant?" After handing in the lantern plant, Yang Tian asked some related questions by the way. If he can get some wind, he can decide whether to continue to collect the lantern plant.

Perhaps because the task was successfully delivered, the little old man's tone became a little more gentle.

"The Lantern Grass is a special kind of medicinal material, one of the necessary items to refine some elixirs"

It seems that there is not much difference between not saying anything, Yang Tian murmured in his heart.

"Since you have completed the task, I will give you a reward."

"Ding, you have completed Old Man Dong's commission and gained 10369 experience points"

"Ding, your level has reached level one"

The experience value is not bad, after all, waiting for four to 10 minutes is very challenging, and if you are not familiar with the map, you can't complete this task at all.

The free attribute points obtained from the upgrade are still assigned two points of agility and three points of strength, and the attack power is close to 20.

"You helped me, so I decided to make an exception and teach you a skill—alchemy," the little old man continued.

"Ding, old man Dong decided to teach you alchemy, do you want to learn?"

Alchemy is not uncommon. Every player can go to Yancheng Alchemist Palace to learn, and the learning fee is ten silver coins.The starting coin given by the system is one silver coin. If you don't plan to be a full-time alchemist, you won't spend money to learn this at the very beginning.

But since there are free ones, don't learn for nothing.

"Learn"

"Ding, you have learned alchemy"

"Ding, you have been carefully taught by the great master of alchemy, old man Dong, and the level of alchemy has been directly upgraded to intermediate!"

This old man turned out to be a great master of alchemy? !Yang Tian's eyes were astonished, he really can't be judged by his appearance!
Before he could open his mouth, Old Man Dong continued: "Boy, I think you are quite sensible, so I will give you another task."

"Ding, do you accept Old Man Dong's commission (follow-up)?"

Yang Tian's heart skipped a beat, sensible?Could it be that the armchair is a hidden plot?This so-called "careful teaching" has something to do with the direct promotion of alchemy to intermediate level?
But no matter what it is, it is enough to benefit yourself.

"Accept", generally the follow-up mission rewards are definitely better than the previous ones, which is worth looking forward to.

"I am refining medicine at a critical moment, and I still need a rabbit's heart. Go and help me collect it."

After preparing some blood recovery medicine, Yang Tian walked towards the map area.
