The New Mission for Apothecary Li

When Jaxon returned to his residence, it was already close to midnight. After freshening up, he teleported to the game world.

Jaxon's figure reappeared once again in the small village. Originally, Jaxon had planned to continue leaving the village to kill wild monsters for leveling up and to gather some materials to sell for money. However, before he could even leave the village, he saw Apothecary Li with a beaming smile on his face.

"Master, what's the reason for such joy?" Jaxon greeted.

In this village, apart from the unscrupulous merchant at the general store, everyone had taught Jaxon some skills. It could be said that they were all Jaxon's masters.

"My research on the Super Gold Plaster has been successful!" Apothecary Li excitedly shared his happiness with his apprentice.

"Is that so? Congratulations, Master," Jaxon quickly offered his congratulations. He remembered that Apothecary Li had previously asked him to gather herbs from the small forest in front of the village for his new medicine research. He didn't expect that Apothecary Li had already succeeded.

"Master, could I take a look at the new medicine you've developed?" Jaxon asked.

In the past few days, Jaxon hadn't just been fighting monsters. He had also started to refine medicines and forge weapons.

Jaxon bought an alchemy furnace from the general store. It was of the lowest quality, with no attributes added. There were slightly better alchemy furnaces available at the general store, but given Boss Liu's unscrupulous nature, the price was naturally not cheap. For Jaxon, who was currently short of money, it was too expensive to buy. So, he could only settle for the most ordinary one.

"Sure," Apothecary Li didn't refuse Jaxon. He took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it to Jaxon.

Jaxon cast an Appraisal spell on it.

Super Gold Plaster: Refined by Master Apothecary Li Guangde. Effect: After consumption, the wound will stop bleeding immediately, heal quickly, and restore 30 health points per second for one minute. It can be used during combat.

It was truly worthy of being called a Super Gold Plaster! Jaxon's eyes turned envious!

Jaxon had thought that as a senior alchemist, the medicine he refined wouldn't be too bad. However, compared to Apothecary Li's Super Gold Plaster, his own was really nothing.

Advanced Gold Plaster: After consumption, it slows down the bleeding from wounds, restores 10 health points per second for 30 seconds, and cannot be used in combat.

This was the medicine that Jaxon had refined. No matter which aspect was considered, it was far inferior to Apothecary Li's.

"Master, could you teach me the formula for this Super Gold Plaster?" Jaxon asked tentatively.

"You want its formula?" Apothecary Li looked at Jaxon, "Sure."

"Really?" Jaxon was pleasantly surprised. This Super Gold Plaster was much better than the Advanced Gold Plaster he had refined before. If he had this Super Gold Plaster, killing monsters would be much easier for him in the future.

"Indeed," Apothecary Li said, "However, you need to find something for me. If you find it, I will not only give you the formula for the Super Gold Plaster but also another formula."

Saying this, Apothecary Li took out another porcelain bottle and handed it to Jaxon.

Jaxon took the bottle. This time, it was not powder inside but pills.

Violence Pill: After consumption, for thirty seconds, attack doubles, defense doubles, and speed doubles.

What an excellent item!

After seeing the attributes of this pill, Jaxon's eyes turned even redder. It was truly worthy of its name, Violence Pill. The effect was too dominant and violent!

"Master, just tell me what you need! I won't flinch even if I have to climb a mountain of knives or dive into a sea of fire!" Jaxon quickly patted his chest and assured.

"Tianshan Sacred Lotus! I need Tianshan Sacred Lotus!" Apothecary Li said, "As long as you bring me the Tianshan Sacred Lotus, I will give you the formulas for these two medicines, and I will also give you these two bottles of medicine."

"Tianshan Sacred Lotus? What is that? Where can I find it?" Jaxon asked.

"It is said that the Tianshan Sacred Lotus grows on the summit of Tianshan. It is snow-white, with eight petals. The petals emit a fragrance. Even ordinary people, just by smelling it once, can benefit from its health-improving effects. It is an excellent material for refining medicines," Apothecary Li said with a look of longing.

"Where is Tianshan then?" Jaxon was also interested in the Tianshan Sacred Lotus. Such a good thing, even without this task, Jaxon himself would want it very much.

However, upon hearing Jaxon's question, Apothecary Li shook his head and said, "I don't know where Tianshan is. In fact, I'm not even sure if the Tianshan Sacred Lotus really exists. I have never seen it before. I only occasionally came across its description in some obscure prescriptions."

"Ah!" Jaxon was very surprised. Apothecary Li didn't even know whether it existed or not, yet he was asked to find it. How was he supposed to find it? There was no clue at all.

"Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you. I believe you won't disappoint me," Apothecary Li encouraged Jaxon.

Jaxon made a sad face and said, "But I don't have confidence in myself. Master, can't you give me another task?"

"No way!" Apothecary Li shook his head firmly, "I have been a master for many years and have always wanted to break through my limits. The Tianshan Sacred Lotus is my chance. If I have the Tianshan Sacred Lotus, I will have a chance to reach a realm that no one has ever reached before!"

Apothecary Li's face was excited, longing, and even a bit crazy. It was clear that this idea of his had not come out of the blue but had been in his mind for a long time.

"Alright, I'll give it a try," Jaxon said. Whether it was for himself or for Apothecary Li, he felt he should give it a try. After all, there was no time limit for this task, nor was there any punishment for failure. For Jaxon, even if he couldn't find it, there would be no negative impact.

"Good, you are indeed my good disciple! I was not wrong about you!" Apothecary Li said with relief, "If you can help me fulfill my wish, I will not only give you the formulas for these two medicines but also pass on all my knowledge to you!"

The reward offered by Apothecary Li was truly substantial. It was evident that he was extremely determined to break through to the legendary godly level and was willing to pay any price for it.

Apothecary Li's reward also made Jaxon very excited. When Jaxon first became Apothecary Li's apprentice, he had learned alchemy and had even reached the advanced level. However, this was only a part of what an apothecary should know.

This was a real world where everyone truly existed and where people could get sick. An apothecary not only had to refine medicines but also had to be able to diagnose and treat illnesses. Jaxon currently only knew how to refine medicines and was completely clueless about diagnosing illnesses. If he could learn how to do that, it would not only give him another skill in this world but would also be very beneficial to his real-life self.

Therefore, Jaxon was very excited about the reward offered by Apothecary Li. Even if the task was difficult, he was determined to give it a try.
