The career of an evil alchemist that started with picking up a crazy sword girl

He is an alchemist, not a warrior or a mage. He cannot walk over and chop someone with a knife or burn them into charcoal with a fireball. His weapon is his alchemy.

Refining as many useful things as possible and then taking action is the action logic that an alchemist should have.

He has roughly decided what to refine and the relevant formulas. He has already bought some difficult ones in the city before, and he plans to collect most of the rest by himself.

On the one hand, it is to save money, and on the other hand, it is to prevent himself from buying too many things in a short period of time and being noticed by interested people.

Around five or six in the afternoon, Lu Lin returned home with a full basket of materials.

This is probably the first time he has carried so many things back since he started collecting herbs.

In the past, in order to make money collecting herbs, he would focus more on those relatively rare herbs and would not collect too many common herbs that can be found everywhere.

In his opinion, these common herbs were only collected by children to make extra money, or by those who were unwilling to walk far or learn more about herbs.

But when he started alchemy, he found that these common herbs were the most used.

When he got home, he saw that the girl was still in her old position, staring blankly as usual, with even rice grains hanging on her face. I'm afraid she didn't move at all all day.

The inexplicable sense of terror ran up his spine again, Lu Lin shuddered, and walked into the house lightly.

Putting down the backpack, Lu Lin began to sort out the materials he had collected.

He already had an idea about how to implement the murder plan.

As for why he had an idea so quickly...

There was no way, the recipe catalog in his mind was really full of murder and arson, and he could get countless inspirations just by looking at it.

At first, he planned to poison.

But after some research, he found that as a junior arcane alchemist, he had mastered many types of poisons, but most of them were limited in effectiveness.

Most of the deadly poisons have obvious color and smell, and most of them take effect quickly.

If this kind of poison is used, it is not only difficult to poison, but also difficult to get out afterwards.

As for the bottle of poison he refined in the novice task before, it is relatively mediocre, without too strong smell, and it is relatively transparent and clear. It takes a certain amount of time to take effect, but the toxicity is not strong, and it is difficult to take people's lives. As long as the treatment is timely, the person will be able to recover after two days of recuperation. Even if he is not treated, he may not die.

And the kind of poison that Lu Lin wants most, which is colorless and tasteless, has no obvious toxicity, and has no cure after the attack, at least in this elementary secret alchemy recipe book, can't be found at all.

Therefore, Lu Lin did not intend to poison the other party directly, but planned to use another way to take people's lives.

Curse.

Chapter 9 What are you doing! This is not melatonin!

In the curse array related category of the curse recipe column of the alchemy manual, there is a curse array that can curse others' lives from a distance.

Its name is "Little Lyle's Pain".

This is also the only alchemical creation that Lu Lin found that can achieve similar effects.

Although there are many recipes in the alchemical manual, they are all primary recipes after all, either with limited effects or complicated restrictions on use.

The effect of this curse can be said to be quite powerful, taking someone's life without anyone noticing from a few miles away.

But this is only a curse array in the primary recipe after all, and there are huge restrictions behind its powerful effect.

First of all, this curse array can only kill "ordinary people". For warriors with physical strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, or wizards and witches with strong mental power, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Secondly, the curse array requires the refining of several different evil objects and spell potions for arrangement, and its cost is relatively high.

Finally, the arrangement of the array requires quite difficult spellcasting materials, which require the opponent's nail fragments, hair, and about ten milliliters of blood.

The first two restrictions are not so easy to say. According to Tang Bo, Dai Beier is just an ordinary gangster, who does not know magic and is not a warrior.

Lu Lin could make all the materials needed for the spell array by himself, and he had already prepared the most basic raw materials.

It was this last item, hair, nails and blood, that could only be obtained by meeting the other party.

However, before meeting this person, Lu Lin planned to make another thing.

In the Alchemy Manual, under the entry [Poison Formula·Hypnotic Poison], there was a bottle of potion called "Primary Gray Cloud Mushroom Drug".

This is a hypnotic potion, the effect is not strong, and it takes about 100 milliliters to make ordinary people fall asleep.

Moreover, this kind of sleep is not reliable, and two slaps will wake people up.

The effect is not strong, so there are naturally other advantages. The smell and color itself are not obvious, and the taste is slightly bitter, but not strong.

The most important thing is that its properties are stable, and it is difficult to affect its effect whether it is diluted or mixed with drinks.

If such a bottle of potion is poured into a glass of clear water, it may be very conspicuous.

But if it is poured into beer in a wooden cup, it will not be visible at all.

The smell of beer will cover up the weak smell of the medicine itself. The background color of the wooden cup and the foam of the beer will make it difficult to distinguish the color. The bitter taste of the beer itself can completely cover up the bitter taste of the medicine. Moreover, beer is... For those drunken guys in the pub, you don't have to worry about them drinking anything. Unless they are drunk, they have to empty the bottom of the glass.

This potion is perfect for drugging in a tavern.

Lu Lin has prepared all the materials needed for alchemy. They are all relatively common materials, and the processing procedures are not difficult. He also has all the tools he needs.

Within half an hour, a small bottle of light gray transparent medicinal liquid was refined by Lu Lin.

The refining process went extremely smoothly, but the quality of the finished product was still very ordinary.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it's normal, as long as it works.

Just when Lu Lin was thinking that since this was a medicine with no side effects, he should drink some first to try the effect. Suddenly, he felt like he saw something white out of the corner of his eye.

Looking back, Lu Lin was so frightened that he trembled all over again.

I saw the girl with bandages all over her body, disheveled hair, and rice grains on her face coming to his alchemy cauldron at some point, staring directly at the medicine in his hand.

Lu Lin swallowed and was hesitating to ask about the situation. The girl suddenly reached out and took the medicine in his hand, then raised her head and poured the whole bottle of medicine directly into her mouth. , then his throat moved, and he swallowed the entire bottle of medicine into his stomach with a gurgle.

Everyone in Lulin was dumbfounded.

What's going on?

thirsty?

If you're thirsty, there's water at the door. Why don't you drink water?

Is this fucking allowed to be drunk?

Fortunately, what Lu Lin had just refined was a non-toxic hypnotic potion. If it was poison, wouldn't this guy be able to drive away on the spot?

Just as she was dazed, she saw the girl closing her eyes, then her body went limp and she was about to fall. If Lu Lin hadn't quickly caught her with his quick eyes, she might not have been able to fall headlong into the alchemy cauldron.

"It's so heavy..." Lu Lin reluctantly dragged the girl with his hands, looking at her peaceful face, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Is this... asleep?

Doesn’t it mean that this medicine is not very effective?

Or maybe she just had this idea and wanted to use the medicine to make her fall asleep?

Lu Lin was speechless for a moment.

What's going on with this girl?

Could it be that she has insomnia?

No, I didn’t see her sleeping less at night?

but……

At least she helped verify the effect of this medicine?

Forget it, whatever.

Lu Lin sighed and picked up the girl.

Although the girl doesn't seem to weigh much, a sleeping person's body is limp and feels extremely heavy when held. Although Lu Lin has been collecting herbs all year round and has good physical fitness, after all, he has never practiced the strength of his hands, so he gritted his teeth and lost his strength. , and then smoothly transported the girl to the bed.

Shaking his weak hands, Lu Lin glanced at the girl's face covered with rice. Lu Lin curled his lips, took a towel, and helped the girl wipe off the rice on her face. Then, he helped her a little. Got a haircut.

Afterwards, Lu Lin stood aside and looked at the girl's face and was silent for a while.

This was the first time Lu Lin took a serious look at the girl's face.

The facial features are marked, the skin is white and tender, the eyes are closed at the moment, and she is sleeping peacefully. If you just look at this face, she looks like a beautiful ordinary girl.

This skin also seems to have never suffered any pain. I don't know if it is just like this or if it is the result of the previous healing crystal.

But obviously, the injuries on her body and the strength in her hands did not look like that of a young lady who had lived in a boudoir for a long time.

As for her usual dead eyes and weird behavior, Lu Lin felt a little hairy just thinking about it.

What kind of experience made her become what she is now?

Lu Lin felt himself becoming more and more curious about this matter.

But he hadn't even spoken to the girl and didn't know how to ask.

Even if he knew, he didn't dare to ask, for fear of irritating the other person and not going crazy again.

"Forget it, let nature take its course and do your own business first," Lu Lin thought to himself and returned to the alchemy cauldron.

He collected more than one piece of material, and when processing it, he also processed several pieces at the same time.

One is for insurance.

Second, because of the processing of materials, it takes the same time to process several copies as one. Processing a few more copies will allow you to refine a few more bottles, and you can also stock up for yourself.

Now the girl drank one bottle of him, but he still had about five bottles of material.

"Well, I'll try to refine two bottles at a time this time. There should be no problem..."

Lu Lin thought like this and began to refine it.

Next, he refined two cauldrons, two bottles at a time and three bottles at a time.

Although the formulas are all the same, Lu Lin can feel that the greater the amount of alchemy at one time, the higher the control and proficiency requirements for himself. At his current level, he should be able to refine four to five bottles of primary level at most at one time. Gray Cloud Mushroom is addictive, but to ensure stability, it is best not to exceed three bottles at a time.

Lu Lin put three bottles of medicine into the cabinet and looked at the sky outside the window.

It took a lot of time to collect and refine herbs this day. Looking at the sky, it was almost dinner time.

"Well... forget it, let's just go to the tavern to eat afterwards. We don't have much time, so we have to get all the business done first..."

Chapter 10 High-end hunters often appear as prey

After sunset.

Looking at the girl who was still sleeping, Lu Lin blew out the oil lamp on the table.

Touching the bulging bag in his arms, Lu Lin took a deep breath, then pushed open the door and walked out.

The wind in the canyon at night is always very cold, and Lu Lin shivered with cold.

Looking up in the direction of Diling Town, he could only see darkness.

The original ecological night without light pollution is always so dark, not to mention that even the moonlight rarely shines in the canyon.

Lu Lin raised his left hand, unscrewed the small bottle tied to his left wrist, and took a sip.

This is the primary cat's eye drops he always keeps on hand, which can slightly enhance people's night vision, so that people can at least see the road clearly.

In the past, when collecting herbs in the mountains, although Lu Lin always paid attention to the time, there were some special situations that he would need to travel in the dark, so even if Lu Lin was stingy, he would still buy some primary cat's eye drops just in case.

Although it is more expensive than a torch, it is much more convenient and easy to use. In addition, one bottle can be drunk for a long time in small sips, so the cost performance is also very good.

Originally, Lu Lin had always thought that after becoming an alchemist, he must refine more for preparation, but...

Haha, there is no formula that can buff the positive side in the huge alchemy manual, let alone the cat's eye potion, even the most basic healing potion is missing.

I don't know if I can learn these formulas through other means. He has never heard of any store that sells alchemy formulas. Maybe he has to ask other alchemists if he wants to learn.

After waiting for a while, the originally dark canyon gradually brightened up in front of Lu Lin's eyes. In the distance, he could vaguely see the faint light emitted by the Diling Town at night. Lu Lin closed the door, touched the small bag in his arms, took a deep breath, and walked towards the town.
