Path of Alchemy Mastery

This cultivation technique is indeed very powerful, so powerful that one can quickly improve their strength simply through alchemy.

This is only the first stage, and the elixirs refined are the most basic ones, yet they have such remarkable effects.

No wonder the Glory Trial attracts people from various planes to participate here; the speed of improving strength is simply incredible.

And even before you've left the Newbie Village, Mu Can feels he can successfully break through to the Heavenly Rank here first.

Great Alchemist Da Zhuang and Ye Feng, standing by, were both a bit stunned by Mu Can's speed of alchemy. Is this really alchemy? It felt as simple as stir-frying, Mu Can hardly seemed to exert any effort, and elixirs were popping out one after another.

You should know that this is the world of the Glory Trial, not the planes they come from. Even a renowned Great Alchemist must start from scratch here.

"What's the matter? Is there an issue?" Mu Can looked at the astonished expressions of the two and asked.

He had just refined some elixirs normally; no need for them to look at him like that.

"No problem, no problem." Ye Feng shook his head; he knew that he had definitely struck gold this time.

This guy's alchemy speed was simply insane. If they had enough materials, they probably wouldn't need to worry about elixirs in the future.

Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt more and more that he had insight into recognizing heroism. Why were there so many people in Newbie Village, yet he had set his sights on Mu Can at a glance?

"Are all these elixirs prepared for me?" Da Zhuang blankly looked at the elixirs in front of him, looking like jelly beans, and asked with a strong voice.

In a moment's plan, he was going to be the one in the front attacking. If he had these elixirs, his safety could be secured.

"Of course, they're all prepared for you. You can start taking some in advance," said Mu Can.

As the warrior at the front, Da Zhuang definitely has the right to choose first. Besides, most of these elixirs were indeed prepared for him.

Ye Feng, this kid, is an assassin; an assassin's role is to strike from behind with sneak attacks, while Da Zhuang's position is the most dangerous.

"They're all yours," Ye Feng said with a smile, watching Da Zhuang. With these elixirs, the plan would be much simpler.

Da Zhuang cheered and took several of each kind of elixir into his bag, then handed the rest to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng didn't refuse and collected the remaining elixirs. The three of them were now ready to hurry on their way to kill the bandits.

"The bandits are located atop a mountain, and according to this Guide, these bandits are a mysterious force active within the Empire and an opposing force; killing them will earn Contribution Value," Ye Feng began to introduce the content of the guide to the two.

The bandits' strength far surpassed the wolf pack at the village entrance, but these bandits had one weakness.

"What weakness?" Da Zhuang asked, as it's a matter concerning his life, so he couldn't help but be attentive.

"These bandits are very gluttonous," Ye Feng said.

Da Zhuang laughed and said, "I'm also gluttonous. Is that a weakness too?"

Mu Can was also curious about how gluttony could become a weakness.

"Of course, gluttony is a weakness. As long as you prepare delicious food, you can bridge the gap with them. Then, you can strike a direct sneak attack. This is the method I've thought of and is also the one recorded in the Secret Manual," Ye Feng explained.

Mu Can felt helpless inside and started to doubt faintly what kind of world this was. Aside from these fellow Trial Takers, everyone native to this world gave him an odd feeling, as if something was off.

"Right, the people in this world, they don't seem like people at all but rather like puppets." Mu Can was startled by his own thought, but it took root in his heart. After careful consideration, he became more convinced of his reasoning.

Whether it's the people in Newbie Village or the so-called bandits they were about to kill, they were all puppets.

"I think we can give it a try," Mu Can said to Ye Feng, feeling quite trusting of the Guide won by Ye Feng's draw. The various herbs found previously had proven the accuracy of the Guide.

While the Guide is good, it only includes the Newbie Village part, who knows how many more places await them to explore after Newbie Village.

"Then let's give it a try. With these elixirs, I dare to fight even against a Heaven Rank Peak," Da Zhuang said vigorously while also waving his Battle Axe. A warrior supported by elixirs versus one without is absolutely a different story; even their confidence is different.

Ye Feng took both of them, following the map's directions, and reached the foot of the mountain where the bandits were. He asked Mu Can and Da Zhuang to wait on the side while he sneaked out. In just a while, he brought back several fragrant roasted chickens.

"You're actually a chef too?" Mu Can asked Ye Feng, looking at the roasted chickens that were definitely freshly prepared and with a fragrance that couldn't be produced unless by someone who specializes in this.

"How else could I have brought you here with such confidence?" Ye Feng chuckled.

"Da Zhuang, walk forward with this roasted chicken. You'll be questioned when you meet someone, just say you got lost and ended up here, then let them eat the chicken," Ye Feng instructed Da Zhuang.

Looking at Da Zhuang's silly appearance, it seems he's not the most quick-witted, so getting lost would be quite normal.

"Can the bandits be fooled?" Mu Can wondered in his heart. Da Zhuang looked like a minotaur and was nothing like the natives of this world; if they really believed him, they'd have to be very foolish.

"Don't worry, they definitely will," Ye Feng continued.

"I've poisoned the chicken. Once they eat it, it'll only take a few breaths to reduce their strength by a level, then you can directly attack, and I will support you from the side," Ye Feng told Da Zhuang.

As a qualified assassin, creating poison is a simple trick.

Da Zhuang nodded, took the roasted chicken, and walked forward, while Ye Feng vanished in a breath, likely using a stealth technique.

Only Mu Can was left with nothing to do but watch the situation unfold from a distance.
