“What is this?”

Li Tianxiang took the black ball from Noir’s hand. He frowned in disdain and placed the pill far away from him.

“You can eat it. Anyway, you drank a new potion before this.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianxiang raised his eyebrows and swallowed the pill.

As soon as the pill passed through his throat, Li Tianxiang felt as if there was a line of fire that started from his throat and stretched all the way to his stomach.

In the end, it even burned through his stomach and into his intestines. He couldn’t help but cover his stomach as he broke into a cold sweat.

“What medicine is this?”

Upon seeing Li Tianxiang’s actions, May and Lan immediately pulled out their staffs nervously. They chanted an incantation, and the power of the elements gradually condensed.

“Don’t… I’m fine.”

To May and Lan’s surprise, although Li Tianxiang looked like he was in pain, he still tried his best to wave at them.

It was indeed painful. Li Tianxiang even saw that his health bar was constantly decreasing point by point.

Of course, the rate at which his health was decreasing was about the same as the rate at which it was being replenished. In addition, Noir clearly looked pleasantly surprised.

Only then did Li Tianxiang decide to make a scene in the alchemy workshop.

“What do you feel now?”

Noir squatted in front of Li Tianxiang with a notebook in her arms. Her voice was as cold as a machine recording the results of an experiment.

“It feels like there’s a fire burning in my stomach.”

Noir quickly wrote down the subject’s reaction.

“Did your physical condition change after that?”

Upon hearing this question, Li Tianxiang opened his status bar and was stunned.

[Status: ???, Effect: All attributes+1. Lasts for 12 hours.]

After Li Tianxiang obtained the Power of 100 Beasts, his attributes had only reached a peak of 10 points.

This pill had directly increased all attributes by more than 10%. Furthermore, the effects lasted for an unexpectedly long time.

Just then, the burning sensation gradually subsided. Li Tianxiang stood up and punched the air twice, creating the sound of wind.

He felt that his strength and speed had increased significantly. Even his senses had become sharper.

Li Tianxiang told Noir the truth about his changes, but she didn’t look too surprised, as if the effect was natural.

“Eat this while you’re at it.”

As he spoke, Noir poured out a small blue pill from the triangular bottle of black pills she had brought earlier.

When he thought about the pain he had just experienced, even if he had guessed that it might increase his attributes, Li Tianxiang rejected it without hesitation.

Noir wasn’t angry either. She simply collected all the medicines and records before calling her assistant from the alchemy workshop.

She asked him to fetch some mithril from the warehouse and send it to the alchemy workshop of the Schariac family.

“What medicine is this?”

After the burning pain completely disappeared, Li Tianxiang asked Noir with some lingering fear.

“I call the bottle of the potion that you drank at the beginning the Cleansing Potion. It makes one feel clear and comfortable. Not only is it effective on people, it is also effective on other potions.”

Noir got another test tube of the Cleansing Potion from her assistant and swayed it slightly against the light, her eyes glazed over.

It was as if she was intoxicated by the blue light of the Cleansing Potion. She only continued to explain after a long time.

“Some alchemical materials have very strong enhancement effects, but they also have very strong side effects. I’ve tested mixing the two together before, and what I got in the end was a pure object like water that has neither enhancement nor side effects. I thought, what if I let someone take the Cleansing Potion before taking these mixed drugs?”

Li Tianxiang widened his eyes and asked fearfully.

“Today is your first human experiment. Am I your guinea pig?”

Li Tianxiang pointed at his nose angrily. However, Noir didn’t feel ashamed at all. Instead, she spoke regretfully.

“It’s a pity that you aren’t willing to carry on with the experiment. What you consumed just now was only a Level-1 mixed substance. Although the strengthening effects of the potent drug have been enhanced by five times, this has also caused its side effects to be more than 10 times more powerful.”

“Rather than calling it a strengthening potion, it would be more accurate to call it a poison.”

“Fortunately, my prediction was correct, saving me the trouble of wasting the antidote on you.”

When he looked at Noir’s smile, Li Tianxiang felt as if he had met one of those science-fiction freaks and was slightly frightened.

After hearing that the mithril had been delivered as requested, he immediately urged Warren to leave Noel’s Alchemy Workshop.

Under Warren’s guidance, the group of people arrived at another destination of this journey — Edison’s Workshop, which specialized in providing customized alchemy equipment.

Before they could enter the door that had been expanded several times by explosives, they heard a loud bang and a short figure was shot out like a cannonball.

This time, Li Tianxiang and the two sisters had learned their lesson. This time, they didn’t directly block him. Instead, they dodged to the side.

There was the sound of metal clashing against the ground, and a creature who could be considered short even among the gnomes emerged from the dust.

“Mentor, Mentor, I’ve succeeded!”

The dusty gnome shouted excitedly as he ran towards the workshop.

Bang!

However, before he could get back to the front door, a short, thick hammer flew out of the workshop and hit him squarely on the nose.

The fellow who was hit swayed twice before closing his eyes and fainted by the roadside.

Then, a strong gnome who was a giant among the gnomes appeared. He was an old man who was about the same height as Li Tianxiang and had pointed ears. This was the most obvious characteristic of a gnome.

He walked out of the workshop, holding a saw in one hand and wiping his other hand on his apron.

“This is the seventh time you’ve said that this month. If you come to my house a few more times, you’ll probably blow it up. I don’t need you to succeed. Can you find some simple jobs that are safer?”

“This is the owner of Edison’s Workshop, Maxwell. You can call him Old Max. The little guy with tiger prints painted on his face is called José. He’s Old Max’s apprentice.”

Warren took the opportunity to introduce them to Li Tianxiang. Then, he coughed at Maxwell, successfully attracting the large man’s attention.

“Old Max, I brought you a new customer!”

Upon hearing Warren’s call, Maxwell turned around and immediately saw the smiling Li Tianxiang, as well as May and Lan.

His expression turned awkward.

“This useless apprentice of mine must be a joke to you.”

Li Tianxiang waved his hand and asked.

“I want to customize a batch of special alchemical equipment.. Can you make it? Can you keep it a secret as well?”
