Chapter 2896

【Ancient Secret Medicine: Each preparation consumes 1700 mana points. Required materials: Vitality Essence, Source of Recovery, Life Aggregation Substance L, Spring of Life, Crystal Bottle.】

【Hint: After drinking/injecting, physical strength permanently increases by 6 points, HP permanently increases by 2500 points (after body attributes reach 200 points or more, drinking this potion is still effective).】

Su Xiao tried to exchange for the materials needed for the new potion. There was a considerable amount of exchange quota for other materials, but there were only 5 portions of Vitality Essence. This is a rare material; if he hadn't been promoted to Tier 8, Su Xiao could only have exchanged for 1 portion.

The materials for each 【Ancient Secret Medicine】 cost 55 Soul Coins. Su Xiao spent a total of 275 Soul Coins.

Having used up most of the material exchange quota, Su Xiao began to prepare. As a newly mastered recipe, his preparation speed wasn't fast, but with his alchemy level, the pressure to prepare 【Ancient Secret Medicine】 wasn't great.

More than an hour later, Su Xiao successfully prepared 5 bottles of 【Ancient Secret Medicine】, 2 of normal quality and 3 of perfect quality. The preparation feel was very good.

【Ancient Secret Medicine (Perfect)】

Origin: Reincarnation Paradise · Saint Flame Pharmacist

Perfect grade bonus: Can drink another bottle of Ancient Secret Medicine.

Rating: 996 points (Holy Spirit-level quality potion rating is 700–1000 points)

Introduction: To be determined (Hunter can freely formulate)

Price: To be determined (Hunter can freely formulate)

The recipe of the 2nd Era Alchemy Civilization didn't disappoint Su Xiao. The characteristics of 【Ancient Secret Medicine】 were very special; after drinking one bottle of perfect-grade 【Ancient Secret Medicine】, one could still drink one bottle of normal-grade 【Ancient Secret Medicine】.

In this way, one could permanently increase physical strength by 12 points and HP by 5000 points. One must know that this wasn't just an improvement for Su Xiao himself; Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, and Benny could also drink this potion. This was an improvement to the overall survival capability of Su Xiao's team.

Because materials were limited, there were only two and a half portions this time. In terms of combat positioning, Su Xiao and Amu would drink it first. The two of them were at the very front in life-and-death battles. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha both had strong survival abilities; as long as Su Xiao and Amu didn't die, it wouldn't be Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha's turn to die.

As for Benny, this cat-star person was a hundred thousand miles away from the battlefield, and could seek help from Su Xiao at any time. It could be said that for so long, Benny had only encountered danger in the last world because she was too unlucky.

Su Xiao first drank one bottle of perfect-grade Ancient Secret Medicine, and immediately drank another bottle of normal-grade Ancient Secret Medicine.

The potion was fishy and spicy upon entering the mouth; Su Xiao drank it with furrowed brows. Just after drinking the potion, he felt as if a ball of fire was burning in his chest, first 'scorching' all his internal organs to the point of severe pain, after which the heat gradually became gentle.

Amu, behind Su Xiao, had just drunk two bottles of 【Ancient Secret Medicine】 when it fell to the ground with a thud and fell into a deep sleep. Baha drank the remaining 1 bottle of perfect-grade 【Ancient Secret Medicine】; in battle, it also needed to engage in brief melee combat with enemies.

"Cough, cough, cough~, this medicine is choking to the nose, and it goes to the head~"

Baha exhaled a breath, and then it breathed fire. Seeing this scene, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Benny both took a few steps back. In reality, they couldn't run away either; they would all have to drink it next time.

After Su Xiao exchanged for the materials needed for 15 portions of the recovery-type potion 【Vitality Stock Solution】, the material exchange quota was used up, and he couldn't exchange for materials for 【Ocean Stock Solution】.

In this way, he could only prepare 【Life Characteristic · No. 01】 to earn some Soul Coins. When everyone had drunk the 【Ancient Secret Medicine】, he could prepare this potion for sale, which would be a large sum of income at that time, selling 1 bottle of normal grade + 1 bottle of perfect grade bundled together.

Su Xiao closed his eyes to feel his body. This time, breaking through the Blue Shadow King to lv. 20 had caused him a not-insignificant burden previously. To be safe, it was better not to go to the Ancient Battlefield to improve blood energy.

In battle, Su Xiao could risk his life and kill enemies at any cost, but when improving his own abilities, he would choose to be safe. If he couldn't even control his own physical state, what qualifications did he have to move forward toward becoming stronger?

The Tier 8 Paradise Arena had already opened, and Su Xiao was prepared to learn how wonderful the completely random matching mechanism was.

Taking Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha along, Su Xiao headed straight for the arena inside Reincarnation Paradise. Entering the internal arena, he used this as a teleportation point to arrive at the Paradise Arena (Tier 8).

Light and shadow flickered before his eyes. When the teleportation state ended, Su Xiao was already in a lounge. Everything here was very old; the single sofa had many holes, and the walls were covered with mold spots. This was a feature of the Paradise Arena lounge. The more matches won, the tidier the lounge, and it would gradually become luxurious.

【You have entered the Paradise Arena (Tier 8).】

【The Hunter needs to read the following regulations.】

1. The Paradise Arena is completely open. The Hunter can match with contractors from other paradises or Void races in the 'Paradise Arena'.

2. The matching mechanism of this arena is completely random. There is no penalty for defeat, and the winner can obtain points.

3. Each victory will earn 10 arena points. For each consecutive win, points will be additionally obtained based on the number of consecutive wins (Base 10 arena points + number of consecutive wins = final arena points obtained).

A very cunning voice came. Hearing this voice, Lai Hama and Bao Shu both had a headache.

【Competitor: Su Xiao.】

【Status: Good.】

【Consecutive wins: 0.】

【Arena points: 0.】

【Arena exchange list: To be activated (can be activated after obtaining 50 arena points).】

Su Xiao chose to start matching opponents. Originally, he thought the matching speed wouldn't be very fast, but to his surprise, it only took a few seconds to match successfully.

【Matching successful, opponent's consecutive wins: 1.】

Luck was not bad; he didn't match with an opponent who had dozens or even hundreds of consecutive wins.

A teleportation sensation appeared. When the vision before Su Xiao's eyes recovered, he was already standing on a circular arena platform, and the surrounding circular spectator seats were filled with stone carvings.

Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of meters away, a humanoid crocodile was standing there. This guy had a crocodile head, wore a bone-tooth necklace around its neck, was wrapped in a piece of rag around its lower body, and wore a curved blade at the tip of its nearly three-meter-long crocodile tail.

This is the Dragon Crocodile race, a Void race. Because they had a serious feud with the Demon race, they defected to the Arcane Eternal Star many years ago.

The Arcane Eternal Star looked down on the Dragon Crocodile race a bit, partly because these guys were ugly and didn't pay much attention to personal hygiene, and partly because the Dragon Crocodile race was brave and fierce, often causing trouble.

This made the Arcane Eternal Star very disgusted. Not accept them? This would make other races think the Arcane Eternal Star was xenophobic. Accept them? The Dragon Crocodile race was too capable of causing trouble.

Strangely, the Dragon Crocodile race also looked down on the Arcane Eternal Star a bit, because the spellcasters looked physically weak, which was very different from the Dragon Crocodile race's aesthetic. But the Dragon Crocodiles still had a sense of self-awareness in their hearts and didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction with their big daddy, the Arcane Eternal Star, on the surface.

"Damn place, actually can't bite trophies off the loser."

The Dragon Crocodile opposite spoke in a low voice, those brownish-yellow vertical pupils sizing Su Xiao up. Just a momentary perception, and this Dragon Crocodile seemed somewhat stunned, and more so, confused.

"Law... Breaker?"

Boom!

Banishing broke through a wave of air and arrived in front of the Dragon Crocodile in an instant.

With a swish, Banishing plowed a bloody trail across the Dragon Crocodile's face and top of its head, crocodile skin fragments and drops of fresh blood splashing out.

Su Xiao watched this scene from afar, tossed a piece of Soul Crystal fragment into his mouth, and chewed slowly. Banishing at 40% speed was already somewhat difficult to dodge.

According to Su Xiao's perception, this Dragon Crocodile's strength was around the early Tier 8 stage. No, the opponent was weaker than a contractor who had just been promoted to Tier 8, at least weaker than a contractor who had just been promoted to Tier 8 within Reincarnation Paradise.

The Dragon Crocodile leaned down, pressing both hands on the ground. A roar came from beneath him, and he rushed straight toward Su Xiao.

Boom!

Banishing's speed was activated to 50%, sweeping past the Dragon Crocodile's face and piercing through the crocodile mouth he had extended.

With a snap, bone fragments and flesh splashed everywhere, broken fangs stained with blood flew far away while rotating, and Banishing pierced through.

"Roar!"

The Dragon Crocodile roared; the front third of its crocodile mouth was shattered, with broken bones connected to the hanging muscles, swaying left and right, and gurgling fresh blood dripping onto the ground.

The Dragon Crocodile raised its head, and a magic energy ball instantly gathered in its mouth.

Boom!

Banishing pierced through from top to bottom, its speed already activated to 70%. It first pierced through the magic energy ball, annihilating the magic energy, then pierced through the Dragon Crocodile's internal organs, and finally pierced out from the side of its abdomen—cruel, sharp, and swift.

The Dragon Crocodile knelt on one knee with a thud and vomited a large mouthful of fresh blood with a wow, the blood still containing organ fragments. A wind-breaking sound came from in front of him, and he lunged to the side with all his might.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

Banishing pierced through the Dragon Crocodile's body three times in succession, front and back. Three fist-sized holes appeared on the Dragon Crocodile's chest, and fresh blood was scattered all over the ground.

Click!

Banishing stopped in front of the Dragon Crocodile's glabella, blocked by a layer of golden brilliance. It was the arena's protection mechanism.

Banishing rotated slowly before the Dragon Crocodile's eyes, as if it would pierce his head in the next moment. The corner of the Dragon Crocodile's eye twitched; if this were a real battle, he would already be dead.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, Su Xiao hadn't moved a single step from his spot, just watching from afar, chewing on the Soul Crystal fragment in his mouth.

Spatial teleportation appeared, and Su Xiao returned to the lounge. Through the test, Su Xiao judged the performance of Banishing.

The lounge was much tidier, and the single sofa had become brand new. Sitting on it, Su Xiao began to match for the second match.

【Matching successful, opponent's consecutive wins: 329.】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao didn't hesitate too much and terminated the matching. Fighting in the Tier 8 arena now wasn't a very good choice.

It would be a better choice to come and fight in the arena after experiencing more than 2 Tier 8 worlds. Not to mention a Tier 8 competitor with 329 consecutive wins, Su Xiao felt he would have a hard time dealing with one with over 100 wins. He had only just been promoted to Tier 8 and hadn't experienced a single Tier 8 world yet.

Teleporting back to the arena within Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao checked the remaining stay time and headed straight for the Trial Ground.

The Strongman's Remnant Brilliance from the Shadow Chamber of Commerce had already been obtained, costing a total of 2400 Soul Coins.

Twenty-some minutes later, Su Xiao walked into the main entrance of the Trial Ground. After arriving at the innermost side, he stood on the spatial array map leading to the Land of All Living Things.

【You have consumed Strongman's Remnant Brilliance x3.】

【You have obtained entry permission to the 6th floor of the Land of All Living Things.】

【Hint: The Land of All Living Things has a total of seven floors. The opening method for the seventh floor is???.】

【Yes/No to enter the 6th floor of the Land of All Living Things, 60 Soul Coins must be paid per hour.】

The expenditure was high. Su Xiao checked the remaining stay time in Reincarnation Paradise and chose to spend 1920 Soul Coins to purchase 32 hours of usage permission for the 6th floor of the Land of All Living Things.

The spatial array map under Su Xiao's feet lit up. In the next instant, he was already standing on an ice field.

The ice field was as bright as a mirror. Looking down through the transparent cold ice, one could see Soul Crystals the size of millstones. These Soul Crystals couldn't be dug out; he had tried last time.

Su Xiao gripped the hilt of the blade at his waist. Just as he drew the blade, transparent phantoms with the exact same appearance and aura as him appeared around him.

These phantoms were all composed of the energy of Soul Crystals. This is the reason why the usage fee for the 6th floor of the Land of All Living Things is expensive.

"Blade Dao Blade · Flow."

Su Xiao slashed out with one blade. Thousands of transparent phantoms around him all slashed out "Flow". After slashing out "Flow", these phantoms all shattered and surged toward Su Xiao from the surroundings.

Su Xiao closed his eyes. He felt as if he had just slashed out "Blade Dao Blade · Flow" thousands of times. The efficiency improvement of this kind of cultivation didn't impose a large burden on his own body. This is the power of the 6th floor of the Land of All Living Things.

The bitter cultivation began, and Su Xiao soon immersed himself in it. When he stopped the bitter cultivation, he was already inside the second floor of the accessory shop in the real world.

【Hint: You have returned to the real world.】

After taking a shower, Su Xiao lay on the small bed. He didn't want to move a single finger. After returning to the real world, resting + relaxing the mind was enough.

Looking at the warning device on the wall, this thing seemed to have a problem; the indicator light would flash occasionally, clearly broken, but Su Xiao no longer needed this thing.

Unknowingly, Su Xiao fell asleep, and the night curtain also quietly rewarded him.

The clock on the wall ticked second by second. At 3:00 AM in the middle of the night, in the darkness, Su Xiao sat up from the bed and looked at the window facing the backyard. Baha landed on the head of the bed, while Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang squatted beside the bed. Three pairs of eyes were all looking at the window 9 meters away. Someone was approaching, but there was no hostility. This was very strange; otherwise, Baha would have already sought out the other party.

A 'visitor' with an unknown purpose was approaching. Su Xiao couldn't figure out the purpose of this 'visitor' coming here.

A figure in a black leather bodysuit, outlining a curvaceous body, climbed in from the window and stepped silently onto the floor. This figure came to the tea table, picked up the laptop on it, and then picked up the half-stack of banknotes that Su Xiao had casually tossed on the tea table a month ago.

Su Xiao felt a bit surprised in his heart; a thief had actually entered his house. Baha and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang on the side were both stunned; after all, experiencing this kind of thing for the first time, they had no experience.
