Chapter 46: Side Job, Alchemist!

~7 min read 1,299 words

Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight streamed through the window onto Li Xuan's face, Li Xuan reluctantly opened his eyes, but as soon as he opened them, he closed them again.

The soft big bed and warm quilt, like a pair of huge hands, tightly bound Li Xuan to the bed, unwilling to let him get up.

"Comfortable!" Li Xuan closed his eyes, stretched lazily, and then uttered two words.

Yesterday at dawn, Li Xuan and Bai Wen finally arrived in this city, booked two rooms at this inn, and settled in safely.

Last night was the most comfortable sleep Li Xuan had had since his transmigration.

Without the pressure of the Chrysanthemum Douluo, without the constant anxiety in the Flower Sea, everything was so relaxed and pleasant.

After lingering in the bed for a while, Li Xuan reluctantly crawled out of the quilt.

After a quick wash, changing into fresh clothes, Li Xuan headed straight toward Bai Wen.

Bang bang bang…

At the door of Bai Wen's room, Li Xuan gently knocked.

But after waiting a moment, the door didn't open; Li Xuan pricked up his ears and heard that there was no sound inside.

"Brother Bai Wen, are you up? Want to go get something to eat?" Li Xuan tried to push the big door of Bai Wen's room and easily swung it open.

Seeing the empty room, Li Xuan was also stunned for a moment.

"I didn't expect Brother Bai Wen to leave before me; seems I still underestimated him," Li Xuan said, smiling and shaking his head as he looked at the empty room.

Now, Li Xuan and Bai Wen have completely left the bounds of the Flower Sea, which means they are basically safe.

However, once the Chrysanthemum Douluo discovers Bai Wen and Li Xuan's escape, a wanted order will be issued, and being together will become very dangerous.

Li Xuan and Bai Wen only teamed up temporarily to flee the Flower Sea; they have no deep bond, just a common goal at the time.

But now that they're safe, no one can guarantee they won't be betrayed, so this is the best time to go separate ways.

Originally Li Xuan planned to say goodbye to Bai Wen and then leave, but who knew Bai Wen was even more cautious and slipped away in the middle of the night.

"Sigh, I was going to give Brother Bai Wen some golden soul coins as travel money, but he ran off first," Li Xuan said, smiling and shaking his head, then stepped out of Bai Wen's room and closed the door.

After leaving Bai Wen's room, Li Xuan returned to his own room.

The Chrysanthemum Douluo should discover the escape today or tomorrow, so Li Xuan still has at least one day.

So Li Xuan decided! to fully enjoy city life.

If he wants to do it, he does it; Li Xuan immediately left his room and started strolling the streets.

Suddenly Li Xuan stopped at the entrance of a Hot Spring bathhouse and decided to take a shower first.

Li Xuan killed Lin Mo, then dug a tunnel, followed by a two‑day, one‑night long trek; now only a bath can make Li Xuan completely relax.

He arrived at the bathhouse, booked a private room, changed clothes, lay in the bathtub, and enjoyed the warm Hot Spring water.

Li Xuan now has money, so what he buys is naturally the best.

Lying in the warm Hot Spring water, Li Xuan felt both his flesh and soul relax simultaneously.

While Li Xuan closed his eyes to rest, the surrounding soul power silently began to converge onto his body.

These soul powers slowly merged into Li Xuan's body, and he, lying in the pool, felt nothing unusual.

Only when his body was filled with soul power and his meridians ached slightly did Li Xuan react.

Li Xuan sensed the massive soul power inside his body and blinked blankly.

The next second, a mutation occurred.

Pop… Pop…

Under Li Xuan's puzzled gaze, his soul power directly jumped up two levels in succession.

If Li Xuan hadn't felt his soul power increase, he would have thought he was hallucinating.

"What? How did my soul power level suddenly jump two levels? And why did my cultivation suddenly rise? I don't even practice!" Li Xuan blinked blankly.

【Detected Host Mind State increase, System Mall updating】

"What? The System Mall updated?" Li Xuan muttered, brow furrowed, a new wave of confusion arising.

However, Li Xuan also learned from the system's prompt that his cultivation boost was due to a Mind State breakthrough, which caused the increase.

What Li Xuan didn't know was that he should have broken through long ago; while digging the Stone Wall Tunnel, for a whole week he only did two things each day: releasing soul power and absorbing fire power.

Moreover, Li Xuan's talent is top‑tier; even without cultivation, as long as he uses his martial soul enough, his soul power can slowly increase.

But Li Xuan never cultivated and doesn't know how, so he never broke through; otherwise he would have long ago.

Now that his Mind State has risen, the cultivation breakthrough is just a matter of course.

【System Mall update complete, Host, please check promptly】

"It's finished updating so quickly, System, open the mall," Li Xuan said softly, squinting his eyes.

Lately, the items refreshed in the System Mall have either been too expensive or of little use, and Li Xuan's recent meals have been fine, so he no longer needs to exchange for boxed lunches and water.

Therefore Li Xuan hasn't been exchanging much, naturally accumulating a lot of points.

【System Mall opened successfully…】

【Red-braised bear paw *1 … 10 points】

【Three-Element Brew *1 … 20 points】

【Azure Cloud Brew: Wine Recipe (Tier 1) *1 … 500 points】

【Alchemist secondary profession transfer scroll (special price) … 500 points (original price 1,000,000 points)】

【System Mall updates daily, one special‑price item each day】

"Alchemist?" Li Xuan looked excitedly at the Light Screen before him, his hand moving faster than his brain, clicked to exchange, spent five hundred points, and redeemed the Alchemist transfer scroll.

As a flash of light passed, a palm‑sized white jade scroll appeared in Li Xuan's hand. "Is this the Alchemist's inheritance? Do you know how long I've waited for you!" Li Xuan's face brimmed with delight as he trembled, holding the scroll and speaking.

After learning that he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent and was still in the Flower Sea, Li Xuan has been devoting all his effort to gathering all kinds of Heavenly Material Earth Treasure Seeds, in order to brew Alchemy Pills.

With the aid of Alchemy Pills and Li Xuan's current talent, as long as he obtains a martial soul cultivation method, he can become a Title Douluo at the fastest speed.

Moreover, with Alchemy Pills' assistance, Li Xuan is sure he can reach that legendary hundredth level!

After waiting so long, I finally got this secondary profession.

But Li Xuan quickly calmed himself, placed the Scroll into the Void Pearl, lost the mood for a bath, swiftly washed the dirty grime off his body, changed clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.

He returned to the inn without stopping.

Now Li Xuan no longer feels like procuring supplies; his mind and eyes are filled with the Alchemy master's career‑change Scroll inside the Void Pearl.

Li Xuan can't wait to find out exactly what the Alchemy legacy contains.

Back at the inn, Li Xuan locked the door from inside, sat on the bed, and snapped the career‑change Scroll in his hand.

Wishing all dear readers happiness every day, we've entered a new map; dear readers, guess where the next map will be (End of chapter).
