Chapter Eighty-six: Repelling the Extreme

  "We've already made our choice." A young man named Yannan, who was standing next to Hongfeng, said. He had very long arms, and the most distinctive feature of his entire body was that he had a pair of slender arms that were almost as long as his thighs, and his shoulders were also extremely broad.

  "As for the choice, it depends on personal preference and profession. For example, Dafeng is a meat shield, so he naturally chooses plate armor with high defense but relatively low flexibility. As for us attackers, we need to choose scale armor that balances defense and agility. As for pharmacists, they basically don't need to participate in battles or confront soul beasts head-on, so they usually choose light armor and cloth armor. Although its defensive capabilities are relatively poor, it feels almost like wearing ordinary clothes." Yannan continued.

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong nodded slightly and fixed his gaze on a nearby shelf where a dark purple long robe with yellow stripes was placed. Although it wasn't as luxurious as the one Sang Hongyun wore, its color and style were very similar, making it a typical Bu Jia.

  Put on a purple fabric armor, very light and quick, like a thin coat, and it fits perfectly.

  Xiao Hong casually picked up a fine broken armor dagger and a superior magic pattern package, which was enough, without any greed, and these things together were worth 70 or 80 gold, Xiao Hong could completely afford it.

  Even if you gain nothing from a dark cave, don't worry about it.

  As for the other members of the 15th squad, they were also in the corner, picking up their own equipment, with more than Biao Hong. The most striking one was Hong Feng's plate armor made of purple crystal steel, which looked like it weighed at least several dozen kilograms. Another was Li Wen's hunting magic sniper rifle, which was over ten centimeters taller than him.

  "By the way, Xiao Hong, as a pharmacist, can you show us the effect of your medicine, especially the healing medicine?" Yan Nan suddenly asked.

  "The healing medicine pattern hasn't been made yet, but it should be ready by tonight." Xiao Hong said truthfully, and tied the brand new magic pattern package with a floral design around his waist. This magic pattern package was much more expensive than Xiao Hong's previous one, the main difference being in the material and design aspects. Originally, Xiao Hong's magic pattern package had a buckle, which made it slightly inconvenient to take out and store, whereas this new package used micro-magnetic technology, directly absorbing onto the surface, making it very convenient to take out and store. The internal design also maximally protected the magic pattern, preventing it from being damaged in any way.

  The four people standing opposite Xiao Hong widened their eyes slightly upon hearing this, then exchanged a glance with each other, and finally revealed a questioning gaze in their expressions.

  They have been following Sang Hongyun for some time, and it's the first time they've heard that a pharmacist of this level still needs to make medicine patterns from scratch. Moreover, there are only two days left until the summer solstice, and even if the medicine is made, who knows whether it will be effective or not? That also requires some time to get used to.

  "No way, then...that Zhao brother, he wouldn't cheat us, would he?"

  "It shouldn't be, we have a good relationship with him."

  Yan Nan and another ninth-level Beastmaster, Ye Jiazheng, whispered to each other, their expressions slightly stern. Without an excellent pharmacist, they couldn't guarantee their survival rate or endurance on the battlefield. More importantly, they were worried that Xiao Hong was just a useless guy taking up space.

  Xiao Hong naturally saw the unusual expressions of the four people in front of him, but he didn't pay attention to it. He tied up his magic bag, took a look and felt satisfied, then slightly waved at them: "I'm going to buy materials, excuse me, tomorrow you can come to my shop to gather, get familiar with each other's tactics."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hong was about to leave, but when he passed by Li Wen, he stopped in his tracks. Perhaps it was a professional habit left over from often helping people with beauty treatments, but at this moment, Xiao Hong noticed that Li Wen's face was covered in freckles.

  "Hmm, you're actually quite handsome, except for the freckles on your face, which are covering up your good looks," Xiao Hong said, instinctively pulling out a business card from his pocket and handing it to Li Wen: "Tomorrow you can come to my pharmacy, I have a way to remove the freckles on your face, guaranteed to make you look handsome, and since I'm your temporary team leader, I'll give you an 80% discount."

  Taking the business card from Xiao Hong's hand, he glanced at Xiao Hong's relaxed stride and departing figure. Li Wen's previously skeptical expression became somewhat perplexed. He looked at Yan Nan beside him and asked in a low voice, "No freckles, am I very handsome?"

  "This... is it." Yannan pinched his chin and said vaguely.

  Actually just now Xiao Hong was only instinctively promoting his own pharmacy, he still lacked a bit, if it were Li Le, even if it were a sow, he would call her a beauty.

  Back to the fifth floor, Xiao Hong began to purchase the required materials one by one according to the records on the draft paper. Compared with the war medicine, the medicinal tattoos are relatively cheaper, of course, this is a comparison at the same level.

  If precious medicinal materials, rare treasures or extraordinary gems are added to the medicinal paste, or if a higher effect is sought, then it's a different story. Take Xiao Hong's upcoming Brimstone Paste, for example - the materials required are no less than those needed for a tenth-grade Battle Paste.

  As he passed by a mirror, he saw himself in the mirror. Well, Xiao Hong wore this purple long gown and really had a bit of a master's demeanor. At least he was no longer like that dirty little miner boy from before.

  With a faint smile, Xiao Hong didn't look back and left Mo Wen's shop after buying the materials, returning home directly.

  Since he didn't do anything today, Xiao Hong's internal energy was still very full.

  Entering his bedroom and locking the door, Xiao Hong took out the design for the Extreme Healing Tattoo he had come up with yesterday and examined it carefully again.

  The main purpose is to think it over again and record it in mind.

  Having confirmed that everything was in order, Xiao Hong took out another high-quality white jade stone, cut it into a concave shape, and then took out the "Huan Diao" to quickly carve patterns on the stone.

  In terms of production, the biggest difference between battle tattoos and medicinal tattoos lies in their structure. Battle tattoos focus on how to convey complex patterns to achieve the desired effect, while medicinal tattoos emphasize the formula of the medicine, also known as magical tattoo liquid.

  The battle pattern must have the beast's brain marrow, which is the core of the battle pattern. The core of the medicine pattern is the formula of the medicine, which is also the biggest difference between the two.

  However, this time Xiao Hong wants to make a medicine pattern that will have some changes. That is to say, the medicine pattern will increase some of the characteristics of the battle pattern, and more or less, it will also use the brain marrow of the spiritual beast.

  Similarly, this would also make the "repulsion" more complicated and costly, just for such a repulsion, it cost Xiao Hong eighty gold coins.

  Luckily, business has been super booming recently. Otherwise, it would be really hard to withstand Xiao Hong's antics. Similarly, this is also why there are so many people in Taiwu City, but truly capable of walking the path of demonic cultivation are extremely rare.

  Don't even think about it without a strong economic pillar, and the higher the level, the more money will be burned.

  Let's take Xiao Hong as an example, a few jin was considered a lot at first, but now it has become dozens of jin or even hundreds of jin.

  Using the technique of weaving within weaving, after carving the stone to perfection, Xiao Hong began to carefully mix the magic thread liquid and for the first time attempted to combine the brain marrow of the spiritual beast.

  This method is extremely rare and few people have attempted to do so before. To achieve this, one must have a certain level of understanding of the material.

  This slightly special tattoo ink is formulated and injected into the pattern, then activated.

  The whole process was very careful and smooth, but by the time Xiao Hong finished everything, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

  Looking at the yellow and green intertwined Extreme Pill in his hand, Xiao Hong's previously serious expression finally relaxed slightly. He mobilized his Qi, delving deep into the Extreme Pill's texture. Xiao Hong could clearly feel that there were 160 strands of energy within it.

  Such a number should be enough to bear the cost of entering the Dark Fusion Cave.

  He simply tested the medicine of Xieji, confirmed that there was no problem, and then put it into a magic bag.

  Since the driving force can no longer be cultivated, Xiao Hong took advantage of the "Han Yun" magic pattern he had made before to cultivate a period of time for the accuracy of the driving force. Xiao Hong then took out the "Mo Nai" auxiliary pattern again.

  This auxiliary pattern, as mentioned before, is permanent, and a permanent magic pattern has an essential feature, that is, it can be upgraded.

  The way to upgrade is to use a permanent magic pattern that has been used for a period of time, and after a long period of tempering, the energy contained in the magic pattern will become more refined. Once the refinement reaches a certain level, it can be upgraded.

  Previously, due to Mu Xi'er's reminder, Xiao Hong's usage of the Mo Nai magic pattern had greatly increased, almost from dawn till dusk.

  The internal refinement degree has long been able to reach the level of upgrading, and it only needs to be achieved through the mobilization of the body's potential, allowing the already highly refined energy to undergo a fundamental transformation.

  After slightly sensing his body, Xiao Hong could clearly feel that there were still 300 strands of usable Chakra within him, enough for Mo Nai Fuwen to upgrade.

  Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Xiao Hong carefully placed the Mo Nai Fu pattern in his palm. He then began to mobilize his internal energy and inject it into the Mo Nai Fu pattern. In an instant, when he looked at the Mo Nai Fu pattern in his palm again, it had not transformed into a form of energy, but the lines between the patterns had already transformed into dazzling light, which was even slightly dazzling. The ceiling above Xiao Hong's head was reflecting the pattern of the Mo Nai Fu.
