Chapter 92

~8 min read 1,565 words

When leaving the exam hall, the sky was near dusk.

Luo En had a brand new professional Alchemist badge on his chest, and his mood was extremely comfortable.

He walked slowly along the stone path toward the dormitory, organizing the information obtained today while calculating the next plan.

"Professional alchemist, the next step is to officially complete all conditions on the panel to take office."

He whispered to himself, his fingers rubbing the fine patterns on the badge.

Returning to the dormitory, he immediately devoted himself to the preparation for taking office.

According to the information organized earlier, the taking office of a professional alchemist requires refining three types of advanced potions.

And what he is preparing now is an advanced potion—"Cognition Sublimation Liquid."

This potion is enough to improve a certain spirituality for the user in a short time, and is generally used in spell improvement and conception, with extremely high value.

This potion is considered difficult to refine among all advanced potions, but with his current "mastery" level of basic alchemy and "proficient" level of potion refining skills, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Luo En took out several rare materials purchased from the market and began to prepare according to the formula.

Fruitless pollen needs to be soaked under the light-gathering magic crystal lamp, and velvet roots need to be cut finely with a silver knife.

And those even rarer materials, each needs special processing methods.

When the moonlight at night spilled into the room through the window, Luo En began the formal refining process.

As the potion gradually took shape, a strange energy began to condense in the small crucible.

The liquid changed from turbid at the beginning to clear, and finally presented an extremely deep dark blue, as if one could see the endless abyss through it.

[Potion Refining Experience +1]

Looking at this finished product, Luo En exhaled lightly.

This was his first time refining such a complex potion completely independently. Although there were several near-failures in the process, the final result was satisfactory.

And added to the refining of other advanced potions accumulated earlier, he had completed the last requirement for taking office:

[Independently completed the refining of three types of advanced potions √]

"The requirements for professional transfer have all been met."

Luo En whispered in his heart, then closed his eyes and silently selected in his brain: "Confirm transfer to Alchemist."

The next moment, an unprecedented energy fluctuation erupted in his body.

Different from the transfer to alchemy apprentice earlier, this feeling was more intense and deeper.

He could feel that his understanding of alchemy was undergoing a qualitative leap. All the alchemy knowledge learned in the past formed a huge network in his brain, and each node was interconnected with other nodes.

A strange feeling surged in his heart—he began to be able to "perceive" the interaction between medicinal materials, as if seeing an invisible "line" connecting different materials.

[Transfer successful!]

[Obtained profession: Alchemist (Two-Star)]

[Basic attribute improvement:

Spirit: 3.2 -> 3.5 (+0.3)

Magic: 1.0 -> 1.2 (+0.2)]

Added to the 0.2 spirit power improved by meditation for a period of time before, he was undoubtedly closer to the 4.0 spirit power standard of a high-level apprentice.

Luo En blinked, feeling the earth-shaking changes in his body.

"Compared to the gentle improvement brought by alchemy apprentice (one-star), the changes brought by the two-star profession are indeed more intense."

He sat back at the table, opened his professional panel, and carefully studied the various bonus effects brought by the alchemist.

In addition to intuitive attribute improvement, he cared more about those special bonuses:

[Special bonus:

1. Experience acquisition speed of potion-related skills increased moderately

2. Potion material utilization efficiency increased slightly

3. Inspiration for potion formula improvement increased slightly]

Compared with the bonuses during the alchemy apprentice period, these bonuses not only increased the intensity of the effects but also added new dimensions.

"Especially the third one—inspiration for potion formula improvement."

Luo En touched his chin and thought: "This is undoubtedly preparing for the development of more advanced potions in the future."

[Basic Alchemy (Mastery max) -> Advanced Alchemy (Proficient 1/300)]

He noticed that "Basic Alchemy" had automatically advanced to "Advanced Alchemy," and the proficiency had been reset to (Proficient 1/300).

However, the "Extensive Knowledge" characteristic obtained earlier had not disappeared and was still retained.

Moreover, the professional advancement route that unfolded like a tree diagram on the panel did not dim and become unselectable.

"Sure enough!" Luo En's inspiration flashed: "Professional advancement will not obtain new core skills, but will advance existing core skills while retaining characteristics!"

This discovery verified his previous guess. After choosing a route to advance, it would indeed not affect the possibility of advancement of other routes.

His eyes flashed with excitement: "This also means that I can simultaneously take office in different branches of professions that have branch routes, obtaining a variety of attribute bonuses and special abilities!"

This possibility made Luo En feel overjoyed. In this world dominated by extraordinary power, being able to master the power of multiple routes simultaneously would undoubtedly bring him unimaginable advantages.

Of course, he also knew very well that with his current energy and ability, it was impossible to develop all professional routes with all his strength at the same time.

He needed to make trade-offs and concentrate his energy on improving those most important core skills first.

"However, this does provide me with more possibilities and choices." Luo En looked at the attribute panel in front of him, full of expectation in his heart.

After all, there is a long way to go. He now has the time reset to completely clear mental pollution, and the lifespan after becoming an official wizard is at least several hundred years.

Not to mention the Great Wizard, Wizard King, and the demon god who is beyond the multi-system above this.

Waiting for himself to promote to such an existence, in the life of thousands of years or even immortality, it is enough to explore every possibility...

The cool breeze at night in the Black Mist Forest blew into the room through the window, bringing a burst of freshness.

Luo En looked at the simple room, feeling a little reluctant. Perhaps he was about to leave this dilapidated house where he had stayed for nearly a year.

………………

In the morning, Luo En picked up the iron wood sword and started his daily morning exercise, finding that his control over the sword momentum became more precise.

[New professional linkage:

Alchemist (Two-Star) + Knight Apprentice + Wizard Apprentice

Obtained additional linkage bonus:

Potion absorption efficiency increased slightly-

Mental control ability increased slightly]

Every time he swung his sword, it could perfectly fit with his breathing, and the coordination between spirit and body reached a brand new height.

[Basic Sword Art Experience +1]

[Current progress: Basic Sword Art (Proficient 97/100)]

"It seems that this kind of life profession as an alchemist is not limited to potion assistance in linkage with the knight profession." Luo En revealed a thoughtful expression:

"The improvement of mental control has a positive impact on the improvement of all skills."

In the process of spell construction, Luo En found that he could also control the flow of mental power more finely, which made the sound wave oscillation effect more stable, and the energy consumption was also reduced accordingly.

He picked up the half bottle of mental stabilizer on the table and took a light sip.

The effect of the potion taken before seemed to have been subtly extended and enhanced.

In the past, this amount of potion could only bring about an hour of effect, but now, he could clearly feel that the efficacy had been strengthened by at least 30%.

"This is an unexpected gain."

A bold concept emerged in his mind:

If he successfully transfers to a bloodline knight in the future and further masters the spell construction art of a wizard, is it possible to integrate the three into one?

"Potions rapidly strengthen the body and mental power, knights provide tough physique to carry greater power limits, and wizards perform overall coordination." Luo En's eyes shone:

"Knights, wizards, alchemists, the three paths go parallel, and there will be far more than three types of linkage later."

Luo En could clearly feel that as the professional system gradually improved, the linkage effects that might appear in the future would become more and more powerful:

Magic attached to weapons, making physical attacks have elemental damage;

Potions strengthen oneself, making the body able to withstand stronger magic flow;

Mental power and body grow synchronously, forming a perfect extraordinary cycle.

These possibilities are all based on his golden finger of infinite professional slots.

"Perhaps, I can walk out of an unprecedented path."

Luo En's eyes flashed with firm light: "No longer limited by the shackles of traditional wizards and knights, but opening up an extraordinary professional system of his own."

After all, in this world where power dominates everything, only by being strong enough can he protect everything he wants.

"The dividend of infinite professional linkage is far richer than I imagined..."

Picking up the training wooden sword, Luo En decided to take advantage of the efficacy and practice sword art more.

It is only one step away from the breakthrough, and then he can prepare for the transfer of the bloodline knight.
