Alan had just arrived at the alchemist's door, and before he could knock on the door, he heard a loud explosion-like sound coming from the backyard, followed by a burst of smoke and a strong burning smell coming from it.
"Woah shit, is this the legendary exploding furnace?" Alan stared blankly at the direction of the smoke, but the people around him just looked at it lightly and turned back to their own business, as if this kind of thing was something they were already used to. Alan was still thinking about this daily furnace or not close to the good, better hurry to escape, the next moment the alchemist's room door has been opened. A handsome young-looking, thin, but topped with an explosive head of the man coughed and walked out, "How did it blow up? What's wrong, did I order it wrong? Eh, who are you guys? Don't look like you're from around here, why are you standing in front of my house?"
"Uh, hello, it's the hunter's union there that said you had something to ask for my help, is it that you need my help to put out the fire?" "Oh, are you the ones who helped me with my commission earlier? Younger than I thought, hahaha, there's no need to rush to extinguish the fire, it'll be fine when the smoke clears, let's go inside and talk about the favors." The man snorted and didn't seem to notice Alan's tirade at all.
After the smoke dispersed, the man led Alan into the house, the house is a bit simple, although not to the house of four walls, barely still can live, this Alan expressed understanding, because in Alan's opinion, the alchemist should be the same as those who are engaged in scientific research, this kind of people in the absence of any great discovery before they are all poor as a ding dong.
"I still don't know the young warrior's name, my name is Li Yunxiao, I am a first grade alchemist here." After Alan and the two of them had made a brief self-introduction, Li Yunxiao went straight to the point, "This time, I am looking for the two of you because I have a private commission, if I can accomplish it I can give you a satisfactory reward." Alan looked at Li Yunxiao and then around the room, he didn't think that Li Yunxiao could come up with any enticing remuneration. Li Yunxiao understood when he looked at his eyes, he took out a few bottles of pills from his storage ring and spoke, "Don't look at me like this, I'm at least a first grade alchemist, I'm even already researching for second grade pills, I just haven't succeeded yet." When he said this his voice slowly became smaller even at the back.
Alan naturally wouldn't be able to tell what these elixirs were first grade and second grade, but after living for so many years, he could still tell if what others said was true or false, and the Li Yunxiao in front of him was just like he wouldn't be able to lie. "Tell me about your commission I'll consider whether to take it or not."
"It's like this, not long ago I was picking herbs in the nearby mountain forest when I found a cave hidden by the grass, I took a look inside, the cave didn't look like a natural formation, and a very faint aroma of elixir wafted from the cave, I wanted to continue to explore deeper but was almost killed by the magical beasts inside, so I intend to look for two of you to go into the cave together to explore. I feel that there should be a certain alchemist senior's collection in the cave as I found this inside." After saying that, he took out a single scrap of a page with [Alchemy Notes (III)] written on it from his storage ring.
"Telling me such precious information aren't you afraid that we'll kill and silence you?" Alan was interested in this mission, but for something this significant Alan didn't think it would come without any strings attached. "Of course I will be afraid, that's why I will follow this commission over there, and you will only be able to discover it if I lead the way, because when I came out I hid the cave once again and it's harder to discover than before, and I will give you poison before we officially leave, and the antidote is only known to me, and as long as I can get out of the cave alive I will give you the antidote to the poison, and if you're worried that I'll go back on my word you can also give me your poison, then you don't have to worry about me going back on my word." Hearing these additional conditions Alan was completely relieved, right, people are all selfish, no additional conditions instead is the most dangerous.
"Good, I accept this mission, when will we leave?" Alan boldly agreed, not because he believed in Li Yunyao, but because he wasn't afraid of poison, poison was simply no different from snacks to him.
"Three days later at six in the morning, we will set off at the city gates, I still need to make some preparations here." "Good, then I'll see you in three days." The two of them decided so happily.
After Alan left the sun had already started to set, taking advantage of the night falling, Alan decided to go to the Boar King tonight and try his current strength first. Alan came to the boar king's stronghold Alan let Zhang Xing to deal with the boar guarding the boar king side of the boar king, he came directly to the boar king's heel, the boar king's body is twice the size of an ordinary wild boar, body white hair, but the huge size of the boar king for Alan is like a moving target, a crescent moon chop directly to the boar vitals. The Crescent Slash was also really powerful, leaving a bone-deep wound on the boar king's body, then Alan fought a guerrilla war, Red Blooded Fangs continuously adding new wounds on the boar king's body. Zhang Xing's place was no better, his force was even fiercer than before, a Snake Scale Phantom Axe was tigerish in his hands, killing a boar with every slash. The battle didn't take long to end with Alan's overwhelming victory, and Alan also obtained the boar king's demonic elixir through the system.
In a flash of time, it was three days later in the morning, the three of them gathered at the city gate.
