Chapter 526 - 289: Divine Level Replica

Chapter 526: Chapter 289: Divine Level Replica

Lu Cang also had a faint feeling that he had already fulfilled the tenets of a Pharmacist.

’If this is all it takes to be promoted to a Level 2 Alchemist, then it really is simple... Back then, it took Iz seven days just to go from a Level 1 to a Level 2 Mage.’

Of course, Lu Cang knew it wasn’t a fair comparison.

The advantages accumulated from other Professions made leveling a sub-Profession from Level 1 to Level 2 incredibly simple.

The greatest difficulty lay in how it interfered with one’s main Profession.

By now, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

Yukelyn was of the Blood Race and would find direct sunlight uncomfortable. However, as a Level 7 Pharmacist, he had already concocted a Potion that allowed the Blood Race to move about in the sun.

Therefore, even brief exposure wouldn’t be a major issue.

"Golden Dragon, I’m going to advance to a Level 2 Alchemist."

"Stand guard for me."

The Golden Dragon nodded and ascended into the sky...

’This kid’s actions are just too bizarre.’

An Su had mixed feelings. ’This kid... the way he upgrades, is he in a hurry to get reincarnated or something?’

’Just how many Profession Levels is he going to gain in a single day?’

’Isn’t he afraid of biting off more than he can chew?’

Lu Cang set up the Ritual Array for his advancement on the spot. In just two short minutes, the complex Ritual Array materialized out of thin air, fully complete.

The few weeds and loose stones that were originally on the ground had also been completely cleared away by Lu Cang.

The ground was now perfectly flat.

Extending his Perception, he could see crowds gathering near the ruined city in the distance.

Besides the massive central city, there were many towns and villages nearby. News that the Golden Dragon had destroyed a city had already spread throughout the continent, and now was the time for the powerful to return to the scene and investigate.

Lu Cang raised his head.

His first wish had not yet been fulfilled. Lu Cang’s wish was to obtain a Forbidden Spell through a Mage Talent, but since he hadn’t received one yet, he still had one wish slot remaining.

Lu Cang silently made a wish in his heart.

No one else knew of this wish.

One by one, Potions appeared beside him. Their colors merely brightened for a moment.

Suddenly, they all took on a golden hue.

Divine Level: Ultimate Perfection

Every single Potion was transformed by Lu Cang into a state of Ultimate Perfection.

’Besides the Secret Medicine, I also have my Talents as my answer.’

During the promotion Ritual, Lu Cang recombined the medicinal ingredients... performing a Potion synthesis on the spot.

He was improvising, synthesizing multiple types of Potions at the same time.

Yukelyn watched Lu Cang’s advancement from the side. ’This... this is just blatant showing off... He has already mastered all the Pharmacist knowledge I taught him, and he’s even injected his own understanding into it.’

’This person will definitely become a far more outstanding Pharmacist than I am in the future.’

With the on-the-spot Refining of the Potions complete, Lu Cang looked up at the Source.

He gradually felt the feedback in his Spirituality, which also confirmed that the promotion was complete.

He was now a Level 2 Alchemist.

’Somehow, upgrading doesn’t bring the same excitement it once did.’

Instead, there was a sense of peace in his heart.

’Upgrading, for me, is just a trivial matter that comes easily.’

The feedback to his Spirituality from becoming a Level 2 Alchemist wasn’t significant. After the promotion, Lu Cang felt his sense of smell become sharper, and his five senses were also enhanced.

However, this enhancement wasn’t like the one from Extreme Battle Intent.

Lu Cang felt he could discern the scent of medicinal ingredients, identify their properties by smell alone, and he had also become extremely sensitive to poisons.

Level 2 Alchemist Mastery—Rapid Concoction (Exclusive): All operations for synthesizing Potions become faster and more precise. Can catalyze the formation process of medicinal properties that would normally require a long reaction time.

Level 2 Alchemist Mastery—Refined Modification (Exclusive): Improve upon already completed Potions. The more perfect the improvement, the lower the resistance to the Potion after consumption.

’My process of advancing from a Level 1 to a Level 2 Alchemist was basically about modification and rapid concoction in a short time.’

’So, getting these two Professional Masteries was well within my expectations.’

’The more perfect the modification, the lower the resistance?’

’That’s quite useful.’

Even the most perfect Potions still had a resistance factor; that is, the more one drank the same type of Potion, the weaker its Effect would become.

With this Professional Mastery, he could drink many more in the future.

As for the "perfect" aspect, he didn’t need to worry. The Potions he modified were already Ultimately Perfect.

At the same time, Lu Cang felt himself naturally grasping deeper knowledge of Pharmacology and toxicology...

A vast amount of knowledge flooded his mind.

And Lu Cang, in turn, began to understand this knowledge from another perspective...

"The reason these medicinal ingredients have such properties is because their own Elements possess such unique structures."

"They’re quite similar to those things on the ranking lists."

Lu Cang felt his understanding of matter had deepened once again. ’If medicinal properties are simply a transformation of matter, could Magic also be used as an ingredient in a Potion?’

’Is the fusion of Magic equivalent to the mixing of medicinal properties?’

The thought flashed through Lu Cang’s mind.

The main feature of a Level 5 Mage was Fusion Magic. Refining Potions, mixing Potions, and Fusion Magic... it felt like they were different methods to achieve the same result.

But now was not the time to dwell on it. What was more important was his Talent.

Lu Cang hoped to obtain a Talent that could deconstruct and replicate other Potions.

Perhaps such a Talent wasn’t necessarily the best choice for a Pharmacist, but considering his own situation, it was exactly the type of Talent he needed most.

Deconstruction would allow him to understand the structure of matter more easily.

And as for replication...

With his current strength, he should be able to come into contact with more High Level things. What he encountered would likely far exceed his current Level, and he would have more opportunities to find various Secret Medicines and Divine Medicines.

It would be a huge waste if he could only drink such things once.

The optimal solution was to mass-produce these Potions that were normally impossible to replicate. Besides, he might acquire many Potions in the future, but that didn’t mean he would get the corresponding formula for every single one.

As for other Talents...

Lu Cang had considered others, like a Talent that would make a Potion’s Duration infinite, or one that drastically lowered the manufacturing requirements, and so on.

But after thinking it over, he felt those Talents were mostly for someone playing Pharmacist as their main Profession.

It would be difficult to create synergy with the advantages of his other Professions.

His current combat power far surpassed that of the Pharmacist Profession. This manufacturing Profession was better off serving a supporting role.

Therefore...

Talent Mastered—Pharmacy Apprentice (Mundane) >> Divine Level Replica

A Mundane-level Talent had finally transformed into a Divine Level one.

’This time, I’ve really hit the jackpot.’

[Upon obtaining any Potion, you will learn its complete composition and its Refining formula. When you attempt to refine it, as long as you have the ingredients, you can perfectly replicate the original technique, environment, and ingredient properties.]

[Additionally, you will learn other different formulas that can be used to refine this Potion.]

So this was his Talent as a Level 2 Alchemist.

WHOOSH—

A golden Potion appeared in Lu Cang’s hand.

Realm of Ascension

This was a non-perfected Realm of Ascension.

Lu Cang glanced at it, and the formula for this Potion instantly surfaced in his mind.

This Potion had more than one formula...

The first required few external conditions, but the problem was that all the necessary ingredients were extremely precious materials.

The second formula had extremely strict Refining conditions and was very complex, but its advantage was that the required materials were all common, with no precious items among them.

Lu Cang considered the difference between the two formulas.

In reality, both sets of Refining conditions could be described as demanding.

A Divine Medicine was a Potion that only a god could refine; ordinary people were incapable of making one. So even if one had the materials, they would have no idea where to start.

Whether it was simple or not was relative to the god who could refine the Potion.

But now, as he examined the second formula...

Although its conditions were extremely demanding...

Lu Cang felt that he could still perfectly replicate the Realm of Ascension using this cheaper formula.
