Chapter 2802

Returning to his exclusive room, Su Xiao walked into the alchemy laboratory. He placed the two Void Tree fruits on the table, with their corresponding recipes placed to the side.

This was not the first time Void Tree fruits had appeared. Although the corresponding recipes were rare, they were not so rare that a guild leader could not obtain them.

Su Xiao did not process the Void Tree fruits immediately. Instead, he took out the Alchemy Codex. He wanted to raise his alchemy level as much as possible before processing the Void Tree fruits. These things were not meant to be eaten directly, nor were they used to concoct potions.

Su Xiao had already fully deciphered the third page of the Alchemy Codex. He flipped to the fourth page. There were more inscriptions on this metal page, totaling 527. With the resilience of Su Xiao's mental energy, it would take at least two attempts to decipher them.

A pale blue light lit up at the tip of Su Xiao's index finger. He touched the first inscription on the fourth page, gradually filling this inscription with mental energy and letting it spread to the next one.

A vast starry river appeared before his eyes, and large swaths of alchemy arrays and unique alchemical characters appeared around him.

After nearly an hour of deciphering, Su Xiao lifted his finger. The deciphering progress for the fourth page was: 295/527.

【Alchemy Bombology has been raised to lv. 56 (raised by lv. 3).】

【Alchemy Pharmacology has been raised to lv. 56 (raised by lv. 3).】

【Alchemy Biology has been raised to lv. 56 (raised by lv. 3).】

【Plant Harmonization Chapter has been raised to lv. 65 (raised by lv. 1).】

The higher the alchemy level, the harder it was to raise. Without the assistance of the Alchemy Codex, it would be impossible for Su Xiao to have his current level of alchemy.

The intense mental fatigue made Su Xiao feel a bit lightheaded. He only wanted to sleep now, to sleep until he woke up naturally. Before that, he could not properly concoct potions, let alone process the Void Tree fruits. Processing these things was simply nightmare-level difficulty, even for the current Su Xiao.

After enduring the fatigue and taking a shower, Su Xiao lay on the bed and fell asleep. Before long, he felt something furry crawl near him. It was Xiang Bubu Wang. Ignoring it, he continued to sleep.

When Su Xiao woke up naturally, he grabbed Xiang Bubu Wang from his face. After a moment of blankness, he placed Xiang Bubu Wang on the bed, went to wash up, and returned to the bed to sit cross-legged and meditate.

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao's mental state reached its peak. It was time to process the Void Tree fruits.

Sitting in front of the workbench, Su Xiao began to adjust the environment inside the alchemy laboratory. The temperature and humidity were kept constant, and the gas flow rate was adjusted to medium speed. After completing a dozen adjustments, Su Xiao rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands and forearms with a special solution.

Only after doing all this did Su Xiao bring the two Void Tree fruits in front of him and look at the corresponding recipe to the side. Just by reading it once, the content was clear in his mind. This was something even an alchemy apprentice could do, let alone Su Xiao.

Consuming 275 Soul Coins, Su Xiao exchanged for dozens of materials and began to process them.

Ten minutes later, Su Xiao took a metal mold and poured a pure white potion into it.

Crack, crack, crack~

The potion froze inside the mold, forming the shape of a small knife. Su Xiao pressed the timer to the side, took three more solutions, mixed them, and stared intently at the timer.

When it reached the critical point, Su Xiao poured the mixed solution onto the two Void Tree fruits. Doing this required no accumulated experience, but it required precision.

Hiss~

A wisp of mist drifted from the Void Tree fruits. Su Xiao took the transparent small knife from the side and cut a small crack in both Void Tree fruits.

A miraculous scene appeared: two tender buds grew out from the two Void Tree fruits. Before long, they grew into two half-meter-tall small trees, and two completely transparent fruits grew on the small trees.

As soon as these two fruits formed, the Void Tree fruits and the small trees above them withered and turned into ashes, drifting away in the air.

Su Xiao soaked the two fruits in the light green solution he had prepared earlier. Even at this stage, the fruits could not be eaten directly; what was needed was the special energy inside them.

He installed an energy extraction device under the arm-thick test tube and activated it. This step would take at least 10 hours. Only the pure energy extracted this way could be used for the concoction.

Many powerful individuals, after obtaining Void Tree fruits, truly could not find an alchemist and could only take a risk. In the end, without exception, they all turned into plants and died.

This was also something that couldn't be helped. The supreme treasure was right before their eyes, yet they couldn't use it. That state of mind, where one truly couldn't find a chance to continue becoming stronger and ultimately chose to fight to the death, was not worth learning from, but there was no need to mock it either.

Leaving the alchemy laboratory, Su Xiao took out an earring from his storage space. This item was called 【New Moon Bud】, a Holy Spirit-grade +13 equipment left behind after the Moon Apostle was defeated, which had not yet been notarized.

【Yes/No to notarize New Moon Bud +13? This item was obtained through special means and requires the notarization granted by Apocalypse Paradise to be erased before this item can continue to be traded. If used personally, free notarization can be performed.】

【New Moon Bud +13】 was equipment exclusive to females. Su Xiao certainly wouldn't keep it. After paying 105 Soul Coins, the notarization began.

【Notarization completed.】

Introduction: Moonlight is the source of power, but moonlight is not always present.

Price: Cannot be sold.

It was no wonder that when the Moon Apostle was forced to return, the expression on her face was almost like she was crying. 【New Moon Bud +13】 was ridiculously strong for the summoning class.

The selling price of 【New Moon Bud +13】 was at least 3000 Soul Coins. Just as Su Xiao was about to hand this thing to Xiang Bubu Wang to sell, his hand paused. The 【New Moon Bud】 earring slipped from his fingers and fell onto the carpet.

Su Xiao looked toward an empty room, his pupils glowing with red light.

"At most 5 seconds, rush in."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Xiang Bubu Wang slapped Xiang Bubu Wang awake with a paw, while Baha grabbed the snoring Amu and flew toward the empty room.

Xiang Bubu Wang was a bit confused. Having fought alongside Su Xiao for so long, after a moment of reaction, it also rushed toward the empty room.

After Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Xiang Bubu Wang rushed into the empty room, they immediately closed the door.

With Su Xiao as the center, a burst of blood energy expanded with a boom, and black-blue smoke surged on his body surface, like upward-drifting flames.

The walls in the room cracked with a snap. At the center of the blood energy, Su Xiao's mind was very clear. Having mastered blood energy for so long, his own blood energy would not affect his mind. Right now, it was just a temporary loss of control of the blood energy, which was why he had Xiang Bubu Wang and the others retreat.

Su Xiao's blood energy was gradually awakening; this was just the beginning. He opened his personal profile and, after checking his Charm attribute, found that it had changed.

Charm: -1 point.
