The career of an evil alchemist that started with picking up a crazy sword girl

Recalling the previous situation, Lu Lin was sure that the girl suddenly lost control after he spoke.

In other words, his previous words must have triggered something like PTSD.

However, that sentence was too ordinary.

Lu Lin couldn't figure out why such an ordinary sentence would step on the thunder.

As a result, he dared not say a word now, for fear of accidentally irritating her again.

The scene of holding the broken crystal is still vivid in his mind. Lu Lin didn't want her to hit his neck like this.

But then again, judging from the girl's current mental state, she shouldn't ask him to pay back the money.

He did get the obsidian alchemy cauldron he dreamed of, and not only that, he also had a deposit of more than 100 silver coins, and he suddenly became well-off.

In a sense, it can be considered a blessing in disguise?

It's just that the other party is shrinking in his room and not leaving, which makes him a little nervous.

Looking at the girl huddled under the dining table in the corner of the room, Lu Lin hesitated for a moment before picking up the scroll on the table.

Anyway, it's already like this, let's take it one step at a time, anyway, teleport the alchemical cauldron over first and complete the task first.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin spread the teleportation scroll in the originally planned position, turned his head to look at the girl, and confirmed that she was still in a daze. Lu Lin then carefully took out another small bottle of magic potion and slowly poured it on the scroll.

As the potion dripped, a faint light lit up on the scroll. Not long after, an invisible force began to spread from the scroll, pushing Lu Lin back two steps, and then, a giant cauldron with a gleam of obsidian slowly emerged.

That was the cauldron of love in Lu Lin's dream.

As the alchemical cauldron was teleported, the small menu in Lu Lin's consciousness that had not changed for who knows how long finally changed at this moment.

[Path of the Sage: Departure (Completed)]

[Mission Objective: Obtain an Obsidian Alchemy Cauldron (1/1)]

[Mission Reward: Primary Arcane Alchemist Ability]

Then, the three lines of words lit up at the same time, then slowly disappeared, replaced by a new line of words.

[Mission Rewards Being Issued...]

It was also at this moment that Lu Lin suddenly felt something growing out of his consciousness.

It was like small bubbles coming out of his consciousness one after another, gurgling for a while, and then bursting one after another.

Every time a bubble burst, Lu Lin felt as if there was something new in his mind.

As more and more bubbles burst, Lu Lin seemed to see the starry sky unfolding in front of him.

Then countless stars began to gather towards him, and countless knowledge and experience gradually merged into his body.

It was unknown how long it took for Lu Lin to regain his consciousness.

He looked down at the alchemy cauldron in front of him. At this moment, a series of knowledge about how to use this cauldron, the precautions to be taken, and the advantages and disadvantages of this obsidian alchemy cauldron almost naturally emerged in his mind.

"Is this the ability of a junior arcane alchemist?" Lu Lin looked at his hands.

From now on, he will become a junior alchemist?

From today on, he will no longer have to live a hard life like before?

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but smile, and then he wanted to laugh.

But as soon as he opened his mouth and didn't make a sound, his eyes caught a glimpse of the girl under the table in the corner.

The latter's empty eyes were also looking at him at this moment.

Almost in an instant, Lu Lin's smile froze, he swallowed his saliva, scratched his hair, and then shrank to the side in dismay.

As he gained the ability of a junior arcane alchemist, the small menu in his consciousness also had new changes.

[The Way of the Sage: First Alchemy Phase 1]

[Task Objective: Collect Materials]

[Obtain three stalks of velvet grass (0/3)]

[Obtain three flower-faced mushrooms (0/3)]

[Obtain one hook leaf (0/1)]

[Task Reward: Newcomer Material Processing Equipment Combo Pack]

Looking at this task list, Lu Lin's vision was a little blurred for a moment, and a tear of emotion flowed from the corner of his eye.

Here it comes!

Finally here!

A normal task!

Just said it!

Before, asking an ordinary person who had just arrived in the other world and knew nothing to directly deal with such an advanced alchemy cauldron, that task would be outrageous!

Look at this task, how normal it is, these three materials are not rare materials, with Lu Lin's experience of collecting herbs nearby these days, it will take less than two hours for him to complete this task.

Moreover, even if he doesn't know how to collect herbs, these materials are not expensive, and it doesn't cost much to buy them.

So, this is the task that a novice should do.

Lu Lin glanced at the girl in the corner.

At this time, the other party had already looked away and leaned against the wall in a daze.

"Well... it seems that there should be no problem. It's not dark yet. It should be in time to go out and collect herbs now," Lu Lin thought so, picked up the bamboo basket he would carry when collecting herbs, and left the house.

Although if you want to be fast, it is most convenient to go directly to the town to buy it. It is estimated that it should only cost a few dozen copper coins.

But Lu Lin still chose to collect it himself.

No other reason.

He is afraid of being poor.

Chapter 4 Why does this development direction feel wrong?

Wool grass is very common and the cheapest herb. It can be found on the grass near Lu Lin's home.

The flower-faced mushroom is a bit more troublesome. You need to go to the nearby forest to find it, but Lu Lin probably knows which places are easier to find.

As for the Gou Gou leaf, it is indeed difficult to find. After all, the Gou Gou tree is a very rare tree. You may not find one in a large forest.

But if you know where the Gou Gou tree is, it will be completely different. Just pick a leaf at the place. It can't be simpler.

It's just that Lu Lin has been a herbalist for so long, but this is the first time he has to collect Gou Gou leaves. Generally, he looks for Gou Gou trees to pick Gou Gou fruit, which is a more valuable medicinal material that bears fruit every few dozen days.

But Gou Gou leaves...

Lu Lin has never heard of the use of this thing.

But since his task requires him to pick it, Lu Lin is too lazy to study it. He found the nearest Gou Gou tree, looked at it, and found that there was no fruit. He picked some leaves and left.

Although the task only required one piece, since he was here anyway, Lu Lin picked more for insurance.

After picking the hook leaves, he went to the depths of the forest to find some flower-faced mushrooms. Of course, for insurance, he also picked more.

Finally, he returned to the grassland near his home to pick velvet grass.

With three velvet grasses in hand, the task was also completed, but the reward was not issued immediately, but there was an option to receive the reward.

It makes sense to think about it. After all, this is a physical reward. If it suddenly hits Lu Lin's head in the wild, he will have to carry it home.

After returning home with the collected materials, Lu Lin carefully opened the door and looked in the direction of the girl at the first time.

The other party was still in the old place, with her head still against the wall, but her empty eyes were closed at this moment, and she was actually sleeping under the table.

Seeing this, Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good to sleep. After all, people can't go crazy when they fall asleep.

I can't possibly run into Boss Cao who kills people in a good dream.

I just need to be careful not to wake her up.

Carefully coming to the bedside, Lu Lin put down the bamboo basket and received his task reward.

A mark very similar to the pattern on the delivery scroll appeared on Lu Lin's palm. Not long after, a small wooden box of half a meter square appeared in Lu Lin's hand.

Opening the wooden box, there were nearly ten different tools of different sizes, including basic ones for grinding and pounding medicine, complex ones for distillation and purification, and other alchemy tools.

And Lu Lin suddenly found that as long as he took a look, the usage of the relevant tools would naturally emerge from his mind, as if he had already learned how to use these things.

It seems that these should be because of the "primary arcane alchemist ability" he had obtained before.

"Although they don't look like high-end goods, they are enough, and such a complete set, it would probably cost dozens of silver coins to buy it," Lu Lin couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.

After a hundred days of hard work, he now knows very well how much work is needed to earn these dozens of silver coins.

Just when Lu Lin was excited, the task menu in his mind was also updated.

The previous task disappeared, replaced by a new task.

[The Way of the Sage: First Alchemy Phase 2]

[Task Target: Processing Materials]

[Obtain 10 ml of Velvet Grass Pulp (0/1)]

[Obtain 50 g of Flower Face Mushroom Dry Powder (0/1)]

[Obtain 100 ml of Gou Gou Leaf Blending Solvent (0/1)]

[Task Reward: One Black Vine Alchemy Staff]

A simple material processing task, the materials needed are exactly those he just collected, and the equipment needed is also in the combination pack just now.

It seems that this task is really like its name, guiding Lu Lin to complete his first alchemy.

The task was simple, and the rewards at each stage were quite good. Although Lu Lin had never heard of the Black Vine Alchemy Staff, based on Lu Lin's understanding of the alchemy staff, even the apprentice-level one would usually cost around thirty silver coins.

"Huh, this task is also normal," Lu Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

He finally made it through.

The taste of sweetness after bitterness is really wonderful.

Then, he glanced at the girl who was still sleeping, and then looked at his house.

Hmm...

It seemed that there was a lack of a work table for alchemy equipment. Originally, the dining table should have been enough, but now the dining table has been occupied by the girl. Lu Lin estimated that he could only go to the town to buy a table tomorrow.

Well, now there is still a lot of money on hand, just buy a suitable table, it should not cost too much.

As for today, just sit on the floor and make do.

Taking out the necessary equipment, Lu Lin began to process the raw materials.

After all, it was the first time, and Lu Lin actually thought that the process would not be very smooth.

But when he actually started, he found that his worries were completely unnecessary. He performed the series of operations as if he had practiced them hundreds of times, and there was no mistake at all.

However, probably because he was only at the level of a junior arcane alchemist, the things he made in the end were of good quality, but only good enough.

If he wanted to make better quality things, he should master more relevant knowledge and deal with more details in the process.

If he wants to master these, he should wait until he gets a higher level of ability.

In an hour, Lu Lin made all three materials needed to complete the task.

After receiving the reward in his mind, the same mark as before appeared in his hand again, and then a black alchemy staff appeared in his hand.

The staff seemed to be made of some pure black thin branches, about one meter and five or six meters long, tough texture, light feel, thick front end, thin back end, and the frontmost branches forked and wrapped into a sphere, which looked a bit like an egg beater.

"I've never seen the material before, but it's quite easy to use," Lu Lin played with the alchemy staff back and forth, full of joy.

After coming to the alien world for so long, he finally has his own thing.

However, the alchemy staff seems to be more used to stir the alchemy cauldron during alchemy, rather than as a weapon.

Perhaps because of this, the front end of this thing looks so much like an egg beater.

As the rewards were received, the task list changed again.
