There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

The Trading Zone of the Heavens.

Xiao Yang noticed an unfavorable situation.

He could still increase his Life attribute by relying on ordinary Life Potions, even if it took a little more time. The two-point increase per bottle meant that instead of drinking forty ordinary Life Potions, he would have to drink four hundred.

But this wasn't a big problem. Although prices hadn't completely returned to normal recently, buying four hundred ordinary Life Potions wasn't difficult. After all, Xiao Yang still had a mountain of miscellaneous items waiting to be sold.

With the Life attribute no longer a concern, Xiao Yang would soon be able to reach the pre-second-tier limit of 1,500 Life, including equipment bonuses, and completely become a Life Warrior.

However, other attributes weren't so easy to handle. Xiao Yang tried a Hardened Skin Potion, gulping it down, but it didn't increase anything. Judging from the Life attribute experience, this Hardened Skin Potion should have increased his Defense attribute by 0.1.

In other words, Xiao Yang could gain one point of Defense increase by drinking ten bottles.

The theory was established, and the experiment began. Xiao Yang poured one bottle of potion after another into his mouth. Soon, ten bottles were all in his stomach, but when he opened his personal panel, the Defense column hadn't increased. Perhaps there was a deviation, so Xiao Yang added a few more bottles of Hardened Skin Potion, but there was still no change. He also tried a Featherlight Potion.

Okay, a problem had arisen. The old trio of Hardened Skin, Featherlight, and Bull Strength Potions were no longer effective.

It seemed understandable that this situation occurred. The growth shown by the Life attribute was more fragmented than other attributes, while Strength, Agility, and Defense weren't.

It was like breaking through a barrier. One was dividing one hundred meters into ten ten-meter sections, with each ten-meter section counting as an achievement, while the other was treating one hundred meters as a single checkpoint, and failure to break through in one go didn't count as success.

Xiao Yang needed something better, not the commonplace Hardened Skin and Featherlight type, but something like the Minotaur's Rage or the Surge of Wind Elements, a higher-tier potion.

Obtaining these potions was both simple and not simple.

Xiao Yang could still continue drinking potions. The myriad planes of the heavens never lacked things that temporarily increased attributes, even if Xiao Yang's tier was higher. The difficulty of obtaining these things was always simpler and easier than obtaining treasures that truly increased attributes.

He would have to put in a little more effort than before.

In the Trading Zone of the Heavens, elite-tier potions and epic equipment were both in short supply.

Perhaps it wasn't really a shortage. Epic equipment was simply unavailable for purchase, while high-tier potions generally had some thresholds, limited to sales to friendly forces, allies, or one's own people. This wasn't good news at all. Could it be that Xiao Yang would have to compromise himself and be bossed around just for these potions?

The answer was no.

But it wasn't all bad news. Xiao Yang wasn't exactly a true loner; he had his own channels, and three of them at that.

The Justice Squad group chat, the Holy Light Church, and the Dao Rhyme Shop.

Opening the God Game, Xiao Yang entered the Justice Squad group chat and made an appearance.

[A True Newbie!: Do you大佬s have any attribute-boosting potions? I need potions that boost Agility, Defense, Strength, and Spirit attributes!]

[Juice of the World Tree

Tier: Legendary

Effect: Enhances all attributes and provides a full heal

Introduction: The juice of the World Tree can also be called the blood of the world.]

Xiao Yang slowly opened his mouth. This was the second legendary-quality item he had seen.

[I Am a Little Flower: Is this okay?]

I Am a Little Flower大佬 was still so豪横, and even directly sent the World Tree Juice. Xiao Yang could immediately receive it as long as he confirmed the receipt.

"This is really tempting me to commit a crime!"

But Xiao Yang couldn't accept it. He had his own principles. Occasionally蹭ing some benefits from the大佬s was fine, but he couldn't really become a network beggar! This was a matter of principle!

After a brief silence, without much lingering, Xiao Yang directly chose to refuse, although his arm trembled a bit when he refused.

Even because the rejection was too decisive and the rejected item was too precious, making this decision even became a spiritual cleansing.

[Player's Spirit attribute has been slightly increased. Spirit +5]

A series of words were quickly typed out by him.

[A True Newbie!: No, I can't accept this!]

[I Am a Little Flower: Why? Does it not work for you?]

Little Flower大佬's questioning made Xiao Yang not know how to answer. He couldn't shout out, "I, a dignified man, won't accept charity!" In silence, he gave an extremely absurd reason.

[A True Newbie!: No! No! I've been allergic to tree sap recently!]

[I Am a Little Flower: Oh, is that so? Then okay!]

He actually fooled her. It had to be said that this Little Flower大佬 was too simple. Xiao Yang always felt a sense of guilt when chatting with her.

[A True Newbie!: By the way!大佬, I have something here to send to you!]

Not wanting to continue the topic of World Tree Juice and tree sap allergies, Xiao Yang decisively changed the subject.

Just like with the Mountain Giant Dragon, Little Bone had also扒拉ed some strange things from the Hag. It was understandable that the Mountain Giant Dragon produced Spinal Bones, but it was very strange that the Hag produced Elf Flower Seeds.

[Elf Flower Seed

Quality: Epic

Latest⊥Novel⊥is⊥first⊥published⊥on⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥Bar⊥!

Limited to: Areas rich in natural elements

Introduction: Once upon a time, there was a beautiful flower spirit named Thumbelina!]

Xiao Yang had indeed been very lucky with farming recently. Xiao Yang sent this seed to I Am a Little Flower大佬 as a return gift for the World Tree's blessing.

This seed was given at just the right time, immediately attracting the attention of Little Flower大佬. She wasn't polite with Xiao Yang.

[I Am a Little Flower: Then I'll accept it!]

Xiao Yang had some guesses about the identity of I Am a Little Flower大佬.

The World Tree or something related to the World Tree.

After dealing with the overly sincere Little Flower大佬, other大佬s in the group also began to poke their heads out.

[Hates Darkness: I have Night Baptism Potions here. One bottle for one medium-sized Purple Gem.]

[Night Baptism

Quality: Excellent

Effect: Completes baptism, gains ten points of Agility for a short time. Multiple baptisms can activate the trait "Nimble Body"

Introduction: The night protects wanderers and assassins]

[A True Newbie!: Okay, but I don't have that many Purple Gems on hand right now. You'll have to wait a few days, Hates Darkness大佬!]

[Hates Darkness: Okay.]

Agility was settled, and it wasn't just Agility. Red Beard suddenly stuck his head out.

[Forge Blacksmith: Little brother, if you need this, come find me! I have Furnace Potions here. Just name your price, and I'll give you one with that one!]

[A True Newbie!: No, no, I still have Ruby here, Big Brother Red Beard! One Ruby for one bottle of Furnace Potion!]

[Forge Blacksmith: We'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later. Remember to be prepared! The wine this time is strong!]

Things didn't seem so difficult. In an instant, the two attributes of Agility and Strength were settled.

"Perhaps this is the benefit of connections!"

Xiao Yang made such a sigh.
