How Am I Still Alive?

The gray-black reagent bottle was placed on the table. The sludge-like liquid looked disgusting, but just this small bottle started with a five-digit number.

".Let me see. Before drinking, it needs to be cloudless at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Facing the southeast, first worship the sun three times, and hold up the potion and shake it."

Lu Pingan was still flipping through the instruction manual he just got, but the more he looked at it, the more confused he became.

"Big cat? How can drinking a medicine be like jumping a master? What will happen if you don't do it?" At this time, it is natural to ask my dear big cat.

By the way, Lu Ping'an has confirmed that this guy does not have a part-time job in potion, otherwise the gardener with potion, automatic farm with automatic assembly line, can save a lot of money.

"If you don't do it, it's easy for the potion to be ineffective, and it's possible to turn it into venom." The big cat is very familiar with such general knowledge.

In a sense, potions are simplified conjuration rituals, and their effects are the result of conjuration.

The refining of potions was the starting method of the "ritual" from the very beginning, and taking the medicine at the end was the completion ceremony of the "spell", or in other words, the means of initiating the effect.

Like other incantation ceremonies, the simple ritual of "potion" also requires a relatively fixed procedure, and even borrows the power of a certain god and the position of the stars. There are many requirements for the location and procedure of the ceremony.

"That's right, at least there are no evil designated actions. Many pharmacists use a lot of messy things to lock their medicines. Not only does it not have locks, but it is also very pure. It just borrows the power of stars. This red blood (boiling) Medicine can be regarded as a conscience, and this pharmacist is not bad at the low level." The big cat said so, and Lu Pingan had no choice but to follow suit.

According to the instruction manual, at the designated time point, he shook it towards the sun, watching the pitch-black potion gradually turn golden.

"This is equivalent to myself being the executor of the ritual? With the help of potion, I used a one-time spell? No wonder it can bypass the innate ability to work, which is equivalent to my own Curse." Lu Pingan thought about it, then gritted his teeth and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Cough, it's a little disgusting, and a little spicy."

However, this red blood potion, which was evaluated as "excellent" by the system, had an instant effect.

Lu Ping'an was hot all over, his whole body was hot and restless, he walked two steps dizzy, and sat down helplessly.

Boiling blood flowed in the body, and the skin gradually turned red. Perhaps this is the origin of the name "Red Blood Potion".

His body temperature has already exceeded 50 degrees, normal people should type GG at this time, or this is also the root cause of this potion that requires "professionals of a certain level" to take it.

It took a full fifteen minutes before Lu Pingan felt his blood calm down, and the crimson in front of his eyes returned to calm.

Lu Ping'an vaguely felt that there was something in his body that seemed to be poking out.

With his eyes closed, he vaguely felt that everything around him was quite clear and peaceful, and he could even feel the singing of birds on the trees.

"It seems that I can touch it?"

He subconsciously mobilized the tentacles of mental power, but before touching the bird, it dissipated and dissolved on its own.

At the same time, there was a sense of emptiness.

He rested for a while, and tried again, only to realize that the range of mental power is not wide, only about one meter around.

"It's a good potion, it works very well. Don't worry, the potion will open the door for you, and you can practice it yourself." Lu Ping'an was not sure about the result, but the big cat was very satisfied.

And the prompt of the system is very direct.

[Taking Red Blood Potion (high quality), the ceremony is well completed, the potion is taking effect, please wait a moment.】

[Congratulations to the host, the awakening of 'general skills, mental power release lv1'. 】

This undoubtedly shows that the drug use has been successful.

In Lu Ping'an's bag, there are still two bottles of medicine, but even if he meets the conditions for taking medicine, the big cat does not recommend him to take medicine continuously.

"Taking potions, in a sense, is a process of actively guiding pollution to transform yourself. You need to allow your body and soul to overcome outsiders, and it will take a certain amount of time." As long as the big cat understands something, she The explanation can always involve some principles, instead of just teaching students how to do it like ordinary teachers.

And these three bottles of potions have already cost Lu Pingan nearly 100,000 yuan. If it weren't for the special situation now, Lu Pingan, a cheapskate, would not be willing to part with it.

[High-quality 'complement potion' (black iron lower-level spell): After taking it, it will increase a certain amount of physical strength, increase regeneration speed by a small amount, and increase metabolism capacity by a small amount. 】

[High-quality 'Sharp Eye Elixir' (black iron low-level curse): After taking it, it will improve a certain amount of dynamic vision, a small chance of a certain increase in reflection speed, and a very small chance of a magic eye mutation. 】

The two bottles of potions are very expensive, but Miss Lululu actually gave Lu Pingan a discount, which is a super-cost price after deducting all the handicrafts, ceremonies, and costs. If you really want to buy it at the market price, you may have to pay three or four times, and you will have to pay for it. The only thing is that senior sister Hua's debts are a little less.

Who doesn't want potions that can permanently increase basic abilities, and it's normal for them to be expensive. When Lu Pingan asked for prices at Luxin Shop, it was quite scary.

The evaluations of these medicines are all "high quality", which also proves that the strength of a certain pharmacist is indeed outstanding.

And Lu Pingan went all out to get these medicines, of course not just for some abilities in front of him.

"Big cat, are you sure these potions can help me improve my spiritual power? I don't see 'spiritual power' written on it." The black iron median spiritual power that the second-tier gardener wants is a hardware condition that cannot be bypassed. It was a bit uncomfortable for Lu Pingan.

Mental power is invisible and qualityless, and its improvement is the most difficult. He got stuck last time, when he almost took drugs to break through (expensive and has many future troubles).

"You have completed the transformation of the trinity, and the three elements are not separated separately. Only by improving your body and reflection can you facilitate your spiritual breakthrough. From another angle, you need to be strong and quick to react, and your spirit The body is more energetic." This is the little trick provided by Big Cat, and she strongly opposes Lu Pingan's direct consumption of potions to improve mental power.

why? Because forcibly increasing the spiritual power (spiritual body) under the premise of unstable foundation, it will be extremely dangerous, and there is a chance of harming the foundation.

Of course, the most important thing is to be able to persuade a safe road that doesn't care about the consequences and the long-term.

"Why can I improve my spiritual potion, at least to the third level, and basically start at 200,000?!" This is the result of Lu Ping'an's direct acceptance of Big Cat's opinion.

"Because of market demand, many non-combat professions are stuck with this, and refining it is not difficult and costly. It is easy to improve the body, but it is too difficult to refine and purify the invisible spiritual power."

The market is like this. Potions that directly improve the basic hardware are super expensive, and among them, potions that increase physical strength are the cheapest. They not only have many types but also have multiple functions.

And the cheapest one to improve the reflex nerves is at least twice as expensive, and the one with mental strength can be ten or a hundred times more expensive.

So, in desperation, Lu Pingan could only use Big Cat's folk prescription.

He didn't even buy a special "reflex nerve boosting" potion. The big cat said that after using that kind of thing, it would cause nerve twitches for a while, and the side effects were very troublesome.

Now is the time to test whether the experience of the big cat is effective.

Lu Pingan directly entered the knight secret realm, just in time to practice the "full weapon specialization" that he had just upgraded.

As soon as the actual combat started, Lu Pingan felt that he had made obvious progress.

Those hard-to-eat metal cans in the past are now just paper figures that can be broken by knocking casually, and "life sharing" has also enhanced his "(living weapon) life resonance" characteristics, which really share the touch of the tentacles. It is much more sensitive in every way.

This is not a quantitative improvement, but a qualitative change.

Just relying on "Lu Ping'an Liu's flurry of tentacles", he easily reached the fifteenth floor all the way, but at this time, the slightly strengthened opponent made him feel hot all over.

He obviously could continue, but he stopped on his own initiative.

Open the backpack, read the instructions, and prepare to take drugs. This is the "remedy" given to him by Big Cat.

"Pharmaceuticals that have a chance to increase the reaction speed will be much better when used after the battle when the whole body is boiling." So Lu Pingan, who was trying to save money, did so.

[Taking sharp eye potion (high quality), the ceremony is completed well, the potion is taking effect, please wait a moment]

[Congratulations to the host, the vision has been slightly enhanced, and the reflex (black iron inferior) has been slightly improved. 】

There is no "Magic Eye Awakening" that has a very low chance of blowing up to the sky, but that thing depends on talent, and those who meet the talent still have a very small awakening rate of several zeros after the decimal point.

For Lu Pingan, the result of "reflection enhancement" is already considered good.

"Chris Jiang's folk recipe works, tsk, it costs money again."

Most of the same type of potions for permanent transformation can only take effect once, but different types. I am afraid that in the next few days, Lu Ping'an's wallet will burst.
