The career of an evil alchemist started when he picked up the Mad Sword Girl

Turning his head in confusion, he saw a three-meter-tall faceless clay figure standing behind him, slowly extending a wriggling arm-like strip made of mud toward him.

"Fuck you! You monster!" Lan Jie was so frightened that he launched himself forward, rolled forward, and distanced himself neatly.

Then he saw a speechless Lu Lin and a mud puppet with his hands stretched out blankly.

The mud puppet even tilted its head, as if wondering what kind of thing it had just scared away.

"Mud, clay puppet?" Lan Jie blinked, "Eh? Didn't you say it was necromancy?"

"It's necromancy, yes. It's an undead puppet that's very close to a clay puppet. I'll explain it to you in detail later when I have time."

While explaining casually, Lu Lin withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to the task list in his consciousness again.

The mission in his consciousness was renewed again.

[The Path of the Sage·The Journey of Sail: The First Crew·Phase Three (Completed)]

[Mission goal: Make the undead puppet·Twin mud puppets]

[Task Reward: Complete Intermediate Secret Alchemy Formula Book]

【Rewards are being distributed】

In an instant, the alchemy manual in Lu Lin's consciousness automatically unfolded, and the entries on it began to scroll crazily.

Looking at the ever-expanding content, Lu Lin unconsciously smiled on his face.

Here it is, the intermediate formula he has been dreaming of.

Things made with elementary formulas are either very ineffective, and things that are somewhat useful generally have great limitations.

Whether there are some more things in the intermediate formula that have the same restrictions but good effects, or things that have average effects but no restrictions, it will be a qualitative change for Lu Lin's ability.

While Lu Lin was waiting for the formula expansion to be completed, the task box on the side also changed. The completed tasks slowly disappeared and were replaced by information about new tasks.

Lu Lin looked over subconsciously.

[The Path of the Sage·The Path of Sail: Scatter all the useless things]

[Mission goal: spend all the existing coins]

[Task requirement: The proportion spent on upgrading alchemy equipment shall not be less than 98% (if the proportion does not meet the standard, you need to continue to make money to upgrade equipment until the total proportion of all expenditures reaches the standard)]

[Task Reward: A complete set of upgrade formulas for the artifact Carlton’s Final Scepter]

Looking at the task requirements, Lu Lin's smile froze on his face.

----

----

The expansion of the recipe list is complete.

The new formula list is very rich. Although at first glance, there are still no formulas that are too powerful, there are many practical formulas.

Just as Lu Lin expected, the improvement in his ability can be said to be a qualitative change.

But Lu Lin's smile disappeared.

He felt that his conclusion was too early, and he still underestimated the ability of this task-line lion to open his mouth.

That's right, it is the most difficult route after all. How could it be that all the routes are really easy welfare tasks?

This mission doesn't seem difficult at first glance, but it's just a mandatory investment to spend all your cash to upgrade equipment, and it will also be good for your future.

But if you look carefully, you will find a problem.

This mission requires that all money must be spent, and 98% of it must be spent on upgrading equipment. If you don't do this, you have to continue to earn more money and then spend more money until the ratio reaches the target, otherwise the mission will continue. Stuck.

In other words, as long as he spent other money before the task was completed, he would have to spend fifty times the money to upgrade the equipment before he could finally complete the task.

If he is not aware of this, even if he just spends money on food and accommodation, he may end up with an astronomical amount of money.

see hell...

Lan Jie had previously given Lu Lin some spoils from the Night Snail Sect, plus Lu Lin's previous earnings and the reward of the ten gold coins, Lu Lin's deposits reached 15 gold, 3 silver and 63 copper for the first time, a breakthrough The fifteen gold mark.

Lu Lin originally thought that he would not be short of money now.

Looking at it now, he has to spend 98% of the money upgrading the equipment, so what is left for him to use for other purposes is...

Ok.

3 silver and 4 bronze.

This is all the funds he can use flexibly at the moment.

Awesome.

Suddenly I felt penniless again.

However, the mission reward is still very tempting. The complete set of upgrade formulas for the artifact Carlton's final staff, presumably the formula used to upgrade his alchemy staff.

Since it is an artifact, it must be very powerful when upgraded to the full level.

In addition, after all, the money was not wasted, but was used to upgrade the alchemy equipment. Thinking about it, Lu Lin felt that it was acceptable.

after all……

Now he is not alone either.

Although all his money will be spent on upgrading equipment, doesn't he have a new little brother?

He has no money to use, but Lan Jie has money!

Thinking of this, the smile on Lu Lin's face reappeared.

at the same time.

Lan Jie, who was not far away, looked at Lu Lin's strange smile suddenly facing him, and suddenly had a very bad premonition.

Chapter 62 Is he coming?Tathagata

The next day, early in the morning.

"Boss, are everything packed?" Lan Jie sat on the oxcart frame and looked at the shed behind him.

"Well, everything is packed up," Lu Lin, who was sitting in the carport, nodded.

"Huh? Where is Sister Limi?" Lan Jie looked at the carport in confusion.

At this moment, the originally spacious carport was so crowded with the luggage of three people and a lot of Lu Lin's alchemy equipment and materials that even Lu Lin only had a small corner left for him to huddle in.

"It's inside," Lu Lin pointed to the alchemy cauldron on the side with his thumb, "I stuffed the sheets and quilts inside, and she got in and shrank."

"Oh, that's good," Lan Jie nodded.

He was really a little afraid of Tanuki. Although he often went on escort missions and was quite proficient at driving cars, the road in the canyon was bumpy. He was really afraid of accidentally being bumped by Tanuki and offending this eldest sister. The head is angry.

If he was given a huge blow later, he would have to worry about whether his head would still be there.

Now Tanuki is sleeping directly in the alchemy cauldron. Even if he is sleeping with a quilt on his head, the feeling will not be obvious, which is naturally the best.

"Then, let's go?" Lan Jie asked.

"Let's go," Lu Lin nodded, "Go to that city you mentioned early. I happen to have to do something there."

"Okay!" Lan Jie agreed loudly.

The reins were waved, and with the roar of an ox, the cart began to move slowly.

The wheels turned gurglingly, making the sound of grinding over sand and gravel.

I don’t know if it was because there were too many goods, but the ox cart kept making a soft creaking noise.

The twin clay puppets followed slowly, with a bunch of worthless debris inside their bodies. As it continued to advance, these debris continued to appear and disappear on his body surface and inside his body.

Tanuki in the alchemy cauldron curled up into a ball holding a pillow, sleeping soundly.

Lu Lin held up his cheeks, looked at the small house gradually moving away from him, and pursed his lips.

Although he knew that this place would not be his permanent residence, after all, it had been so long, and he still felt somewhat like home here.

"Well, that's fine. Maybe whoever falls in here in the future will be able to live in it like me."

"Huh!;? Boss, what are you talking about?" Lan Jie turned his head in confusion.

"Nothing," Lu Lin shook his head, "By the way, tell me about the city we are going to? Have you been there? Are there any good stores selling alchemy equipment there?"

Binses high cliff city.

In the bustling market, an old man wearing coarse cloth and with thin hands and feet was huddled up and sleeping under the eaves of the roadside.

Although the coarse cloth was rough, it was very wide and almost completely wrapped the old man's body. Even his face was mostly covered, and only the old man's messy gray beard could be vaguely seen.

There was a mixture of hay and rags spread under him, and there were many fruit cores and nut shells scattered around him, which seemed to be the remains of food he had eaten.

From the smoothness of the core, it is easy to see how miserable his life was.

At this time, a man dressed as a wealthy businessman passed by the old man.

He glanced at the old man, took two steps, and suddenly stopped.

Looking back, he looked at the old man carefully again, and then frowned unconsciously.

He reached into his arms and took it out. After a while, he took out a large copper coin with a face value of ten copper coins. He turned around and walked back. He bent down and handed the copper coin to the old man's collar, as if he wanted to He directly stuffed the big copper coin into the rag the old man was wearing.

But at this moment, suddenly, his hand was grabbed by the old man's hand like a dead tree.

The wealthy businessman was startled and immediately wanted to withdraw his hand, but the old man's hand seemed to be made of steel bars and remained motionless no matter how hard he struggled.

At the same time, a hoarse and old deep voice sounded.

"He's coming..."

"Huh? What are you doing? Let me go!" The wealthy businessman became anxious and shouted loudly.

"He's coming..." The old man slowly raised his head and opened his eyes in the shadow of the cloth.

However, those eyes were so pale that it was almost impossible to tell where the eyeballs were and where the whites were.

"I don't know who's coming! I just know you'd better let me go right away!" the wealthy businessman shouted, "otherwise I'll have to call the guards!"

However, the old man seemed not to have heard him at all and just continued to mutter words such as "He is coming".

The wealthy businessman had no choice but to shout at the top of his lungs: "Guards! Are there any guards? This..."

Before he finished speaking, his hand was suddenly let go.

Since he was already struggling, when he let go, the wealthy businessman lost his balance and fell directly to the ground.

"Ouch, you damn..." the wealthy businessman cried out in pain, thinking that the old man was finally scared. He gritted his teeth and stared at him, intending to scold this ungrateful old man.

But in the end, he saw the old man holding his head and grinning, as if he was in pain.

The wealthy businessman was in a daze for a while, not knowing what the situation was.

Just as he was about to get up, he suddenly heard the old man laughing.

"Hey, hee hee hee hee hee hee hee..."

The laughter was extremely sharp and harsh, coupled with the hoarse voice, it was like the sinister laughter in the mouth of a hell spirit.

"He's coming, hee hee hee... He's coming, hee hee chi chi chi... Hee hee hee hee, he's coming! He's coming!..."

The old man held his head, arched his back, and bent his legs, like a downed beetle, shaking on the ground while laughing crazily. From time to time, he would kick his legs randomly and make two strange screams.

"Damn, madman, I'm so stupid, what a fucking madman!" The wealthy businessman cursed, got up in a hurry, and ran away.

The old man was left alone, making that harsh and shrill noise.

Across the street, at the door of a dried meat shop, the shop owner who was sweeping the floor frowned and looked over, muttering: "Damn it, it's starting again..."

"Again? Does this old man often do this?" A customer who was selecting dried meat asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, I don't know how many years have passed. I've been going crazy when I have nothing to do. Whenever I'm crazy, I've been shouting, 'He's coming.' I don't know who is coming. I've been shouting for so many years, but nothing has come. "The landlady said helplessly.

"Didn't anyone send him to the Holy Religion? Should the Holy Religion be able to cure this situation?" the guest asked.

"I sent him away countless times, but every time he ran out again soon after. When I asked the Holy Cult, they said he was too old and couldn't be cured. Anyway, this guy can't do anything except go crazy all day long. "Son, let's just leave it alone," the landlady said helplessly, "Oh, it's just annoying to death. Let's not talk about it. Have you made your choice?"

"Ah, it's time to choose, don't be impatient..."
