Path of Alchemy Mastery

Mu Can's plan proceeded unexpectedly smoothly. In fact, this too was a testimony to affectionate cognition; faced with the temptation of treasure, no one could remain calm.

The little wolf could no longer continue hunting, but the three of them could still search around Newbie Village for some materials to refine elixirs.

This was also a way to indirectly enhance the strength of the three, as certain elixirs can temporarily boost strength.

After consulting the system, Mu Can knew that by spending some contribution points, he could bring out Wang Cai from his own world.

He secretly planned to accumulate enough Medicine Power Value and then convert it into contribution points.

Wang Cai was indeed a great assistant; with his expertise in elixirs, he could definitely add wings to the trio's capabilities.

In one day, the three basically did not hunt anything, but they had gathered a huge pile of materials for Mu Can to refine elixirs.

Mu Can did not disappoint the two, filling their pockets with elixirs, ranging from basic to slightly advanced. They had enough elixirs refined from the materials around Newbie Village to last a year and a half.

However, the biggest gain was Mu Can himself; after converting the accumulated Medicine Power into contribution points, he was finally able to release Wang Cai.

In reality, releasing Wang Cai directly wouldn't have been an issue, but doing so would have made him an unregistered entity. Now that Mu Can had paid enough contribution points to the trial system, it was like buying Wang Cai a formal identity.

In this way, appearing as Mu Can's pet, Wang Cai could also level up whenever Mu Can earned contribution points.

After introducing Wang Cai to Ye Feng and Da Zhuang, the two showed no surprise initially, but upon learning about Wang Cai's deep knowledge in the art of Arrays, they started to regard him seriously.

In this Glory Trial, what was mostly lacking were professionals like Mu Can and Wang Cai, as elixirs and Arrays although niche, were crucial.

"I was stifling bored, the environment here isn't bad at all!" Wang Cai exclaimed happily as soon as he was released. Although Mu Can's miniature world was not small, Wang Cai was extremely bored inside and would tease the Toad occasionally.

Now that Mu Can had released him, he felt much more balanced, at least unlike others who could only stay in Mu Can's miniature world.

"Can you set up an Array now that can shield against Heaven Rank Investigation?" Mu Can quickly asked, not forgetting his reason for bringing Wang Cai out.

Wang Cai looked around the environment and thought for a moment before responding, "Should be no problem. This world is different from the previous one; there should be sufficient materials."

As long as Wang Cai could set up the Array, material sourcing was Ye Feng's job. Wang Cai told Ye Feng what materials were needed, and Ye Feng immediately scurried off to find them.

Da Zhuang was the happiest, first having an unlimited supply of elixirs from Mu Can and now a master of Arrays. His security had greatly increased.

The dog, Wang Cai, was more excited than all three persons combined. Upon knowing his goal, he could hardly stay put—a treasure trove guarded by Heaven Rank experts made him salivate.

Ye Feng was quick to depart and quick to return, soon bringing back all the materials Wang Cai needed. Wang Cai was not bragging, and in just half a day, the three men and a dog each had a Transmission Array Plate inscribed with the Concealing Array.

"This Array Plate can block Heaven Rank Investigation, but you must not get too close, and it only lasts for one hour after activation," Wang Cai explained to the three.

Now, having shed his previous role as Artifact Spirit, the greatest drawback was that if he died, there would be no chance of revival. Hence, Wang Cai was particularly cautious regarding safety matters.

This dog always prioritized his own safety first.

One hour was generally enough, and combined with the Concealing Elixirs refined by Mu Can, unless they actively attacked those bandits, there was absolutely no way to be discovered.

After Wang Cai finished speaking, he handed out a few more Transmission Array Plates to the three.

"What's this?" Ye Feng now held Wang Cai in high respect, his eyes even filled with envy when he looked at Mu Can.

Having such a pet skilled in setting Arrays saved so much trouble; looking at Mu Can and then at himself, it was impossible to compare.

"Transmission Array Plates. If you encounter insurmountable danger, just crush it. The transportation range is within a hundred miles, and the location is random," Wang Cai declared.

Hearing Wang Cai's words, Mu Can hesitated while reaching for the Array Plate, but after thinking it through, he still took the plate.

Although Wang Cai was usually unreliable, having this kind of thing was better than nothing.

Watching Ye Feng and Da Zhuang solemnly hanging the Transmission Array Plates at their waists, Mu Can couldn't help but say, "Be careful; the randomness of this Array Plate is strong. Do not activate it unless absolutely necessary."

Mu Can was close to mentioning how he and the Toad had once been tricked by Wang Cai into another world.

Ye Feng and Da Zhuang looked at Mu Can and said, "Of course, we won't activate it lightly; this is a life-saving device, extremely precious."

In the world of the Glory Trial, unlike the outside world, everyone started on the same footing. Having such a life-saving tool meant that they practically had an extra life compared to others.

Mu Can was speechless; truly, those who hadn't been tricked by Wang Cai could still afford to be optimistic, shaking his head without speaking.

After everything was ready, good news soon arrived.

"They are preparing to attack the bandits' stronghold."

The two alliances from Newbie Village, after completely exterminating the wolf packs outside, finally decided to make a move on the bandits' stronghold.

And Mu Can and his group merely followed quietly behind the large troop, planning to sneak in amidst the chaos.

The two alliances, with over ninety people, marched mightily towards the stronghold.

And in their hands, they carried new weapons, exchanged from the Newbie Village blacksmith after they had brought wolf pelts and old meat to the villagers.

They never imagined, the weapons crafted by the Newbie Village blacksmith were much stronger than the weapons freely distributed to them when they first entered this world.
